Did I catch that this model has a removable battery ? If it does and you have a multimeter available you could measure the voltage after a good time charging. Fresh offload cells should show about 4.2V. If less than 3.7V there is a problem... This is given as a guide - how many cells does your device have and how are they connected (series, parallel etc) regards Mike p.s. I did not know about w3m - but this will be a useful addition to my tools collection. http://www.meetup.com/Electronics-Club-Altona/ On 24/05/16 12:36, Trent W. Buck via luv-talk wrote:

How old is the battery? About 2.5 yrs old.
If you have been using the phone regularly on a daily basis the battery could be starting to short out.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery#Battery_life Does Android let you see this data?
$ grep ^ /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/{charge_full,charge_full_design} /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full:3533000 /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full_design:4030000
That shows that currently "100% charge" is 3.5kAh, but when it was new "100% charge" was 4.0kAh.
i.e. it's capacity is down about one-eighth. The same workload will give me 17½h instead of 20h.
$coworker had a much bigger difference - about 50% drop.
PS: "kAh" might be completely wrong, I suck at units. _______________________________________________ luv-talk mailing list luv-talk@luv.asn.au https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-talk
