Hey guys I'm on the newest version of virus rom and my battery will just stay at,say,89% unless a reboot is performed. Any way to fix this?

same problem as it only happens when i use the extended battery. i am trying out battery left widget no clue if it will help or calculate a good reading for me but its calibrating as i just tried it out today.
all the battery wipes in the world will not reset it and help
I get inaccurate info. Seems when i reboot my phone i loose 10-15% charge and it happens all the time. - Extended battery

I was having the same issue with my battery meter sticking. The same time this happens, my Setcpu app also was sticking and would full throttle the cpu. Im running the VirusRom right now, but have experienced this problem on a few of the other Roms also. My usual fix was just wipe everything and go with new install. It started happening again last night and I followed some posters advice to let the battery totally drain and then shutoff. I then recharged to full and everything seems to be fine again.
The first time it ever started happening was right after I had wiped the battery cache and rebooted. Ive stopped doing that now, but it still happens. I notice now that I usuallly experience this after a series of reboots. Not sure whats up, but draining the battery to zero helped out last night. We'll see in a day or two if it starts happening again.

Im actually done with ROMs until CM7 is ready. Im just going with a base rooted system and Ill use a custom kernel. Kernel is 99% of the improvement anyway.
Draining works for a day or so, then it does the same thing. I'm stock and it does it. It also does it with the stock battery. Hope they get it fixed with an update.

Mine actually just stopped working... was working for a week or so and today its just stuck on the same number until i reboot. Pretty annoying.
Bump - anyone find a solution to this? I tried running my extended battery to 0% last night and fully charging it... guess ill see if its fixed today. Pulling it off the charger, it already dropped to 95% lol...

That's because of how it charges not foot into details but that will always happen up to a 10% drop.

Right but my problem was/is the meter never changing. I think I fixed it by completely draining the battery and charging to full. Maybe the phone didnt know how much juice it had because of the different size battery.
yeah i changed to the stock battery last night and it would read fine but i really need this extended

Quite possibly a bad battery. Your battery shouldn't drain when the phone is off.

Does it drain when the battery is removed from the phone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
you should download a cm7 nightly my battery lasted from 10pm - 9am with 30% than i put it to charge
You can either do a factory reset or NVFlash CWM and flash a ROM to see if that fixes things. If not, then defective battery.
What these guys are saying is most likely, especially with that kind of drain. But also make sure you don't have any crummy apps, it apps that run when your phones off. Ex. Some weather apps run in the background and draindrain

You guys. He said that his phone was OFF while the battery lost its juice. It has NOTHING to do with what ROM, KERNEL etc etc he is using. Now for the op; simply just get a new battery and check if the problem persists.

Try the same test with the battery completely removed.
If it doesn't drain that fast - Then the phone is not shutting down properly, and most likely is the result of a nasty app.
If it does still drain that fast - Then the battery is probably faulty.

In your original post when you said you turn the phone off at night, you do mean actually turning it off right? Like shutting it down and not just turning the screen off, right? Just making sure we're all on the same page. If the phone is powered down then it can't be an app because apps can only run when you're booted into Android.

I would try to eliminate apps one by one. Freezing them with titanium backup or using better battery stats to see which apps have a lot of wakelocks. I had the same issue before.

Then its the battery. I had the problem with my g1. I would load the maps and use gps. It would say my battery is around 70% then after like 5mins the phone would get hot and then it would say i was at 30% or lower. Swap out for a new battery and it didnt do that anymore.
My g2x is kinda doing the same thing. But its a little slower. I turn the phone on in the morning 100% battery. Then use it for about an hr. (95-80%battery) put it in my pocket. Then about 2hrs later it at 40-35%. And the phone feels warm.
Also check your battery to see if it had a lump on it. If so then its a bad battery and needs to be replaced asap.
I ordered a replacement on ebay should be here by next weekend. Only $4

I had a problem like this and still do at times. Part of it was the stock kernel I was running and the other part was the fact that the phone was not fully going into the low power state it was supposed to. I now only loose about 5 to 7% in the worst cases. That is better than the 20 to 30% I was loosing before.
Maybe I repeat someone's question???
But, haven't seen any battery posts for recent T-MO ICS update, seen some for custom ROMs thou...
I believe we got a power hog... Charged that thing to 100%.. 2 hours later it was at 85%, basically doing nothing.... couple of calls. Using display at 75% on manual setting. Oh.. Using Anker 1900mA battery.
If you ran in to the same problem, please confirm. What other settings to play with to lower the power consumption???
Thanks!!

Thanks guys for your input.
I have my Anker battery for as long as I have my Sensation, 9 month.
I did cycle it 3 -4 times initially and it gave me a great life on GB.
Yesterday I looked through some settings and made changes.
Got Auto sync off (manual mode), some other changes that (don't remember now, getting older...LOL) keep phone looking for services, I believe location. Charging now and will see how it holds.
Will report if there any progress.

Tried any Kernels?
I was to impatient to wait for the TMO ICS update so I slapped on a custom ICS rom but with this kernel by Faux123: (agh, won't let me link up until I have more posts...just search his nick and his posts)
The battery life is insanely good with the Intellidemand...
Check into seeing if it is compatible with your version, maybe by emailing/msging Faux123.

Im sorry but i dont really rely on a kernel for battery life i have flashed tons of em and let them stabilize and never really seen the difference no offence meant to the dev's of course...
Sometime you just need to Re-Calibrate your battery or do a new fresh install which works quite good..

Most people with issues on Stock ICS end up just factory resetting. It tends to fix most issues.

further explain what the hell do you mean? you need to give us a bit more detail on what exactly are you encountering or specifically ask why is this happening.
I included the screen grab didn't I? It says 6 days plus on battery. When the phone lasts only a day. See the screen grab.
And this is after the JB OTA update.

Your being to broad that doesn't mean anything to me all I see is 6days and your charging it every so often what's wrong? Your phone is lasting a day? Explain what exactly your doing you need to specify and further explain what your doing.
For example
In screenie I have 4 days on one charge.
I watched some netflix and barely any usage it was very minimal. And about every other 6 to 12 hours I turn off data and switch on airplane mode as you can see.
Another thing leaving your phone on for that much time just IMO makes the battery life die faster rather than fully charging do your usual stuff till the day ends and once done at night just shut it off charge turn back on in the morn.

there is no bug at all. it tells you the time since the phone has been on no from the last charge.
Lets say i use my phone and im around 30% and its been 8 Hours since i turned on my phone from 100%. once i plug it in it will keep track of the time my phones been on (Up time) not from last charge.
there is an app called Better Battery Stats but it causes wakelocks but it will show you those type of stats and more
I think you are mistaken friend. The discharge graph shows the time since the last recharge. See http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2677609&topic=2677645&ctx=topic (last para) for details.

well on my Epic it will say whatever time its been on since turned regardless of being charged or not, ive tested it out on several devices i think your losing your mind haha what does it matter anyways?
Its simply telling you how long you have been using the battery not when it was off the last charge.

For me it happens when the recharge doesn't make the battery goes above 90%. The graph will "reset" when the battery is charged above 90%.
After typing in *#0228# to checkbattery info and clicked quick start at the bottom of the screen my battery instantly dropped from low 30's to 12%. Worried me at first but after charging my battery seemed to have lasted longer than before (possibly just wishful thinking). Anybody else try this? Or can shed some light as to exactly what's happening?

Yup seems when you have a low % it drops the battery right down, however @babyshanks thinks maybe it the battery is better once it's done(?) I've done mine also, so we can post what happens in the next 24 hours or so
I tried it even before seeing this thread... Got drop from 95 to 91, later from 80 to 72. And i have no idea what it is or means... Now charging my phone back up, switched off.

Since I first ran mine @ 23:46 my battery was 96% - a couple of text msgs later and now @ 02:20 my battery is sat at 86% - a definite drop compared to what it was... Also noticed Android OS is eating up the battery more than before, and I haven't changed anything except for running this... Will see how it develops through the night at work and charge it tomorrow and see if there is any noticeable difference or not.
My battery was at 44... After the quick start, it dropped to 20. I did it again and dropped to 16. It's been there for 30 minutes now. I'm really wondering what this code is doing

You entered it twice and it's sat @ 16% for 30mins? hmm that is interesting, I'm curious, maybe this is a stock battery calibration system of some kind after all... we'll see the benefit after we've charged it I guess.
but then again, maybe this is a cheeky trick to milk the battery quick for the engineers for some reason or another that they require it...
