One of the things that may happen to your smartphone after a while of use is a decrease in the device’s accuracy in showing the battery’s actual capacity. Sometimes there is a problem with old products: even though the battery is not at zero percent, the smartphone turns off.
This happens when the battery is out of calibration and needs to reset. Next, we want to explain what battery calibration is. (What is the caliber of the phone?)
- Samsung smartphones have a feature called Quick Reset. This feature allows you to calibrate the battery of your Samsung device easily. To calibrate your Samsung phone, do the following:
- Use your smartphone until the battery charge reaches 5%.
- From the call application, enter the code *#0228# and select the option to make a call if the code is not activated automatically.
- A pop-up menu will appear. From the displayed menu, select the Quick Start option.
- Now, wait for the device to turn off and turn it on again. Check whether the battery charge percentage is lower than the previous number.
- Connect the smartphone to the charger and wait until it is 100% charged.
- Turn off the device and turn it on again. Also, disconnect the charger from the device.
- Go back to step 2 and do this two more times.
- By now, you should have done Quick Start three times, and the battery charge should be 100%. Dial the code *#9900# from the call application.
- From the menu that will pop up for you, select the batterystats.bin reset option.
- Exit the menu and restart the smartphone.
There is also an Android battery calibration app, and you can use the Android battery calibration app to do this. You can also access the battery test code on smartphones of different Android brands. In the following, we have put a list for you that you can quickly access to test the health of the phone battery from various brands.
The method we will explain below can be done on all Android smartphones. Of course, in the rest of the article, we will explain what should be done to calibrate the products of other brands.
- First, you need to drain the battery capacity. To do this, use the smartphone until the device turns off.
- Turn on the device again and wait for it to turn off again.
- Now, connect the smartphone to the charger and wait until the device is fully charged.
- After the device is fully charged, disconnect the charger from the smartphone.
- Turn on your smartphone. Check the battery charge level. If it does not reach 100%, connect the charger to the smartphone again, so it is fully charged. Now, wait until the charge reaches 100%.
- Disconnect the charger and restart your device. Connect your smartphone to the charger again if the charge percentage is not 100%. Continue this process until the device shows 100% charge after restarting.
- Use the phone until the charge reaches zero percent, and the device turns off.
- Connect the device to the charger and fully charge it. Your smartphone will be calibrated by doing the mentioned method.
If there is a problem with the battery, sometimes the best way is to take the smartphone to experts and have the battery replaced. Of course, if you use a smartphone with a replaceable battery, you only need a new battery to fix the problem by just replacing the battery.
Of course, most smartphones that can be found in the market today use an integrated body, which does not allow the battery to be separated from the body. On the other hand, you should remember that sometimes calibrating the battery may not work, and your device may still have problems.
If you have recently installed a new app update for your smartphone and after that, your device’s battery has a problem, the problems may be due to app problems. In such a situation, it is better to wait until the release of a new update by the manufacturer to solve the problem.
Now that we know what phone calibration is, battery calibration should be done when you have doubts about the device’s performance in displaying the remaining charge percentage. If you don’t see any problem in the performance of the device in displaying the correct capacity of the battery, there is no need to calibrate it. The following are the correct times to calibrate the battery:
Even though your smartphone reports that there is a significant percentage of battery charge, it suddenly turns off.
Even though you use the smartphone for a long time, the percentage does not decrease or increase.
A lot of time has passed since your smartphone’s battery life, and you are suspicious about its performance.
Before we say the phone’s calibration, we must mention something. The smartphone should be able to monitor the battery and inform the user when the battery is fully charged or when its charge level is close to zero and needs to be recharged. However, the mentioned feature in the smartphone has a problem, the device cannot display the exact amount of charge in the battery.
Such an event may occur due to app problems or the increase in battery life, and its performance may be affected. In any case, there is a solution that increases the accuracy of displaying the battery capacity. Of course, you should remember that doing this will not improve battery performance. Such work helps the device to show the available battery capacity more accurately.
