battery

[AnDRoIdmAN100]

today i got internet for my android, and i tried youtube. It loaded 20 seconds for a video, but the video stoped at 0:03. I tried again and it happened again. Then i went to the desktop and the battery level was at 31%. 3 minutes before it was at 80%. Why?

Welcome to Android Forums!

If this is a brand new phone, Android isn't reporting power levels correctly because it doesn't know what a full charge represents. I'd recommend letting the battery run all the way down and then plugging it in using the a/c charger (not the usb cable) and let it charge to full. Unplug the phone and reboot it. Then plug it back in and shut the phone off while plugged in and let it charge for at least another hour.

Do this and you'll get better power level reporting. Be advise that you shouldn't let the battery drain to zero frequently as you could damage the li-ion battery. It will work better and last longer if you do smaller charges frequently.
