How to Calibrate a Samsung Phone Battery After Replacement Using *#9900#
Important Notes:
- This method works on many Samsung devices with access to the SysDump menu via
*#9900#. - Use this process only after installing a brand-new battery.
- Ensure the phone is not rooted unless you’re using advanced methods.
Step-by-Step Battery Calibration Procedure
1. Fully Charge the New Battery
- Plug in your phone and charge it to 100% without interruptions.
- Leave it connected for at least 30 minutes after reaching 100% to ensure a full charge.
2. Reboot the Phone
- Once fully charged, restart the device to help clear any temporary battery data.
3. Dial the SysDump Code
- Open the Phone/Dialer app.
- Enter the following code: bashCopyEdit
*#9900# - This opens the SysDump menu (available on many Samsung models).
4. Scroll Down and Select “Battery Stats Reset”
- Use the list to locate “Battery Stats Reset” or “Reset Battery Stats”.
- Tap it once. This clears the old battery calibration data and lets the system relearn the new battery stats.
If this option is not available in your device’s menu, your model may not support calibration through this method. In that case, use the manual method described below.
5. Power Off and Fully Discharge
- After resetting, unplug the phone and use it until it shuts off automatically from 0% battery.
- Avoid recharging before it powers off naturally.
6. Full Recharge Without Interruption
- Plug the device back in and charge it uninterrupted to 100%.
- Again, leave it plugged in for 20–30 minutes after reaching 100%.
7. Restart the Phone
- Reboot the phone one more time to finalize the recalibration process.
Optional: Repeat Once
For more accurate results, some users repeat the discharge/recharge process once more after a day or two.
Why Battery Calibration Matters
After battery replacement, your Samsung device may not immediately recognize the correct battery capacity. Calibration:
- Improves battery percentage accuracy.
- Prevents sudden shutdowns or incorrect battery level readings.
- Helps maximize new battery performance.
