Why do you want to disable it

Doesn't charging the battery frequently decrease the battery life?? I mean whenever I need to transfer a file from the pc to the sd it starts charging won't that affect the battery??
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium

I thought that a frequent charge is better for the battery..

That was with the old batteries, when a chargenof 5% counted as one full charge.
On the new ones 20x5% (100%) counts as a full charge so don't worry.

I don't really know if this works, never tried and won't do.

If you have insurance then go thru TMobile, if not, you are screwed. Samsung will not help you or anyone that purchases their products. All you will get is a "software reset" along with a message that it "passed all functional testing"
Check the pins on the usb port on the phone and on the charger, I read someone having an issue and he had some dirt covering on of the pins inside the usb on the phone. Try cleaning them somehow without damaging...

Nexus S kills the batteries

Hello
My friend have a Nexus S (9020A) the problem is when the battery dies it's impossible to charge the phone, it won't turn on! I have tried with a lot of batteries now and it kills all of them! it works like normal when you don't let the battery die completely but it should not do this anyway, what is wrong?
I think I know what your talking about.
The phone consumes more power than it receives when its using data. Do if your at 5% and charging, but also using the internet. You will last for mere minutes.
Best thing to do is to simply let it charge and not touch it when its doing so. You can still hotspot,text talk. But streaming music, data apps (like tapatalk or skype) and web browser WILL KILL YOUR BATTERY WHILE YOU CHARGE.
But if your saying it won't charge. Sorry. No idea

What? That's just nonsense.
If you turn the phone off and then try to charge it with the battery in, you're not able to charge it?

no, the phone kills the batteries, I would have test the batteries on other phone if I had, but atm I just have the Nexus S, it won't let me charge the batteries when they are dead.. if there is 1% left I can charge but when it dies it's dead forever... there must be something wrong with the phone, right?
Try wiping battery stats?

don't work.. when battery have some % left the phone works like normal... but if I let it die, then it's dead.. I can't even turn on the phone, it's like there is no battery inserted.
The phone should shut down automatically when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. Is the phone not doing this? These batteries are not meant to drop below a certain voltage and doing so could damage them.

Wait, does this mean I have to turn my wifi and data off whenever I'm charging my phone? Bulls right there...

This ^^
Are you running a modded rom/kernel/calibration tool that let your battery go below the min voltage threshold?

This is so insanely inaccurate. Using the hotspot is one of the most battery intensive operations the phone can carry out. Streaming music, Skype, and browsing don't even hold a candle to it. The only thing that comes close would be navigation (and that can be even worse sometimes), followed by talking on the phone by a pretty decent, but not massive margin. It also depends on the charger. Where do you get your information?

if the phone is doing the same with all type of ROMS, then it may be hardware related issue.
I have been running various Roms since the start but never faced this issue. A lot of times battery has drained fully. With some of the new roms that are there my phone lasts more than a day with Data on Roaming full time.
I know most phone batteries will not be chargeable if you deplete them completely. Usually this happens by throwin it in the drawer and not using it for a long time but ive never heard of it happening just by using the phone. Id say its definitely a hardware issue

Off your tab and full charge and then switch on and use it till it is dead ....
And switch it till battery is completely down ...
And again charge it till 100% without break

What do you mean by "switch it till battery is completely down" ?
And do we switch off the tab when we fully charge it the 2nd time?
There are free apps on the playstore called "battery calibration" that basically erase your battery config file and allow the ROM to re-learn the battery usage, etc. Very easy to use, charge your battery to 100% - then click the button on the app, it erases the file - you unplug the unit, and use it normally. The software will build a new file
Your unit has to be rooted for this to work, and I have read that it does not really do anything, while others swear by it every time they flash a new ROM.
Do some searching - read some of the posts and details on them, and make your own decision
Good luck,
Regards,
Calibre battery is myth in all modern devices! It only erase battery usage data..
but FYI, its pretty useful on some devices!
i have xperia which has pretty erratic battery life..so clearing battery stats really helps!

Still having issues

I'm still having huge battery issues no matter the ROM and kernel I use...
I have tried looking at battery apps that determine what's sucking up the battery but half the time it just says screen or WiFi. So it got me thinking, is it WiFi? I leave WiFi on, which was never and issue like a month ago or ever on my previous androids...but now all the sudden it seems to be the cause? I woke up to find my phone at 50% from 100 within 5 hours...of no use just WiFi turned on and set to only stay on when plugged in...so I could really use some help guys...

Simple solution - turn Wi-Fi off and see if it fixes the battery issue. Possible it is but to draw 50% that quick you'd have to be far away from the Wireless AP. In most cases that's very unlikely.

ya look at that.....but when you have small charges in between that dosent fully charge you.... you can make it run for ever...... the timer dosent reset untill you hit full charge. i agree with garwynn but ide also check your battery for swelling. ive had my wifi on all day (didnt realize it) and ive not had but mabey a 15% drain from it (5h28m to be exact).

[Help] Battery Drain Problem

Hi All,
Everything was ok till the day before yesterday. But suddenly from yesterday I am facing a huge battery drain problem i.e. 1% per minute on my S4. I am running the latest version of Arrow Rom.
I did format everything and reinstall Arrow Rom but no luck. Then I restored my previous Stock CWM backup and again problem is same.
One more thing my phone's battery is taking too much time to full charge. It takes 5 to 6 minutes to charge 1%. Sometimes it takes more than that.Although my phone is only one year old. When Iam using phone for browsing or chatting with charger plugged in its not charging properly its decreasing.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?

Your battery is more likely to be uncalibrated. Download Battery Calibration from Google Play and follow the steps on how to calibrate it. It requires ROOT. Any other things that can cause this are wakelocks, be careful what kernel you use. You can monitor wakelocks using Wakelock Detector from Google Play.
Or your battery might be a faulty one, check if its swollen

I don´t believe in calibration. It´s a balast...
How old is the battery?? Over one year? Buy new one.
Or try to use Wakelock detector and after results use Greenify

Use power saving mode install stock rom
Auto brightness
Format sd card
Remove unnessesary apps
Stop all unusual apps like google plus hangout and play books etc etc those you don't use.
Disable chrome use dolfin or other's.
If you are using custom kernel or mods like audio mod or performance mods don't use them.
Auto sync off when not needed
If these steps don't work then change the battery
For charging use 2amp charger with a 16amp socket
Use stock usb
Clean your battery's copper area with petrol and also clean your
Usb cable and ports sockets
Hope this will help
And I know my English is not good.
