So I have a weird charging issue. Anytime I plug in my G tablet it will charge to 96% or 97% and the light will turn green like it has a full charge. It never reaches 100% Can anyone help?
using TnT lite version 4.2.5
My gtab does exactly the same thing, could be normal.
I know this has been brought up before....
Mine does that too... But the battery life is pretty freaking awesome, so I don't let it bug me too much....
It can be fixed if you want. There are threads about this in the general section. Hit up a quick search for battery issues and you will find them. One way is to drain the gtab dead and then plug it in and boot to recovery. In cwm under advanced you wipe battery status and then power down and let it charge to full. May not work the first time though.

Hmm, interesting. If this eats away and bothers me enough I may attempt this, but I agree with the statement above regarding the great battery life regardless of the presented battery percentage being reported when fully charged.
So I get home from work this morning, pull my Inspire out of my pocket, and it's dead; no lock screen when I push the top button, nothing but black screen. Kinda strange, since I had just been using the phone a few minutes before while I ate breakfast before a 5 min drive home; it still had 22% charge right before I left. I put it on the charger.... nothing. Black screen, no amber light. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, still nothing. I drop it back in my pocket and put my shoes back on, about to head back out to the AT&T Store to exchange it, when I hear R2D2 in my pocket (I'm running LeeDoids ROM). Sure enough, it's booting.... wtf?
It's plugged up and charging right now, which kinda sucks in a way, because I was looking forward to exchanging it for a new one; my battery life sucks in it, worse than it should as far as I can tell with reading up on all the threads here. I'm trying to be very conservative with the settings lately in an effort to stretch battery life, with limited results. I've turned off auto-sync, installed Juice Defender, I turn off the wifi & bluetooth while I'm at work, running the display at 40%, but I'm still running the battery down damn quick if I actually use the device. Earlier this week, it ran itself down to <15% battery in just a few hours just sitting in my pocket, and I wasn't even using it; the only thing I could figure was that the auto-sync was on at the time and it had connection problems where I was in the hospital, making the phone burn up the battery trying to get a connection. When I looked at my battery info, the overwhelming majority of the battery use was for Android System. Now with auto-sync off, the display eats about twice as much of the battery as the system does.
I'm thinking of taking it back anyway if it acts up again. Has anyone else had one that just simply ate battery at a huge rate? LeeDroids ROM has a reputation of being pretty easy on the battery, but right now I'd have to say I'm worse on the battery than I was when it was stock. I'll probably try out a different ROM later today, just to check things.

Fully charge the battery to 100% then wipe battery stats in CMR. Hopefully that will help you out.

Does wiping stats improve battery life, or just give you accurate future stats?

Improves battery life and makes it more accurate. I would try downloading the Rom and make sure you flash everything. Also make sure your not over clocked.

I'm gonna reflash the ROM and see how it works before I try another one. I'll make sure I'm not overclocked too much, but others with LeeDroids ROM are getting good battery life with overclocking. The two big symptoms I'm looking at right now are heavier than expected battery drain, and the total lock up it had where it wouldn't even show a charging light.

What is CMR? How do you wipe stats out? I looked for it in settings & couldn't find.
Thanks

CMR=Clockwork Mod Recovery. Reboot into recovery, select advanced, select wipe battery stats.

Does it only work on rooted phones?

Hey Smitty, I know it's been over a week but have you had better luck with your battery usage?
Also with regards to your unresponsive power issue. Given the size of this handset I've found it difficult to keep it in a pocket. I'd bet that the battery door wasn't connected good or got separated slightly in your pocket, probably getting in & out of your car. It doesn't look like it would take much to separate the contacts in there leaving you with what seemed like a dead phone.
I did a complete wipe and ROM switch... installed dilligafs, and I had much better performance. Using MIUI now, still getting good battery performance. I might have had a bad ROM install before or maybe I left a location using app running. As far as the strange black screen issue, I never did figure out what that was about; the phone was in a Otterbox case, and the battery cover was on tight, so I don't know what happened. It hasn't repeated itself, at least.
One thing I miss about the iPhone was the ability to set up a periodic sync, instead of an auto-sync like we have on Android. Auto-sync is either on or off, and when it's off I can't figure out how to get gmail to sync any way other than a manual sync. I could easily live with syncing every 15 or even 30 mins, and I'm sure it would give me much better battery life. Juice Defender claims to do this for you, but it doesn't work in Gingerbread it seems.
My phone keeps shutting off all the sudden like the battery is suddenly dieing. It doesn't matter what the battery percentage is. I'll manage to reboot it after a few tries and every time the battery percentage jumps around. I'll boot up into recovery and can play around in there all day without the phone shutting off but once I leave recovery it keeps happening randomly. The only time it won't reboot is when I have it plugged in (this is how I narrowed it down to a battery issue).
I've tried charging it all the way up but it still happens. I've wiped battery stats and have done a full wipe and fresh install. It happens with custom kernels AMD the stock kernel.
Is my battery fried or is there something else I can do?
Sorry for any typos I'm on my phone now.
I had similar problems. By chance, do u use juice defender? I was troubleshooting my issues and when I stopped using JD my shutoff problems disappeared.

Nope no apps for the battery or cpu. The only "tweaking" app I use is sd booster. I don't see how that could do anything though.
Try reseting battery data in recovery

First off I've been around a while, long time flasher. It has just recently started to upset me. When my battery is around 20% the phone just shuts off as it has shut down due to no charge. I have used search function and can't seam to find matching issues. Its not a recent situation just started to annoy me. Oh and it does the notification low battery before powering off. I have calibrated battery and wipe battery status and getting pretty good battery life. Thanks in advanced.
I am currently running tweakstock 2.0 with Imnuts official 0502 pbj kernel and system tweak v66.

Try another battery to see if the issue is replicated.
Generally happy with EG 5.5 but I have a few issues to report so far.
1.) I was in a call and had to navigate through an automated system by pressing numbers. This worked for about a minute or so of me pressing a number then putting the phone back to my face (at which point the screen went off as it should) and repeating. After the fourth or fifth iteration the screen stayed off and I had to take out the battery to reboot.
2.) Browsers still crash when I change orientation.
3.) Battery drains really rapidly compared to other builds (including 5.0). This may simply be the indicator not actually reporting properly though as I noticed my phone was stuck at 48% for three hours yesterday no matter what I did with the phone.
All of that said, I really appreciate all of the effort that's gone into these releases. At the moment though, I'm tempted to switch to the latest EG gingerbread release as I'd like hardware acceleration again, even though I vastly prefer the UI improvements in ICS. Meh.
Thanks for all of you hard work.
Clear battery stats from recovery I had the Same issue with the battery I haven't charged my phone since yesterday around 7 and I have around 45% right now .when the screen shuts off and doesn't want to turn on press the power times 2 times or 3 but quick. When u reboot your phone make sure u let it sit for around 5 min before you start using it . Dolphin HD works like a charm no issues so far. navigation works too p.s make sure u calibrate ur battery

Battery stats has nothing to do with calibrating your battery.
Battery stats only shows what has been using your battery like which apps you run... that's it, it does not store your battery's information.
It fixed the issue I don't know what I did but it worked

I had forgotten to recalibrate, still not getting great battery life but at least the indicator is working properly. Haven't had a repeat of the screen blanking during a call as yet. Dolphin HD still crashes when I change the orientation. I even did a clean install and still the same issue sadly.
Thanks for your responses...sorry it took so long for me to reply.
