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?

I had that problem with the standard debloat Rom. New rom seems to update all the time.

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

There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

My battery meter almost never goes down... started doing this after flashing BAMF remix, then i reflashed..no dice. Sometimes ill see it drop by 2-3 percent at a time.. sometimes 1%, after like 30 minutes or so, but with constant usage and 4G on this shouldn't be possible.. Could my voltages actually be getting me better battery?
Here is all I use, running Bamf CF 2.0 kernel (ignore my signature)

768 875
1024 1000
Also rebooting drains about 3-12% of battery at time... give or take.

The same thing is happening to some people, including me, in this thread:
losing about 5-10% battery on reboot
Someone suggested bump charging and wiping battery stats, but that hasn't fixed the problem for me.
i've had similar problems with mine and my reboots usually drop me 5-10%,, which is rediculous!
I refuse to bump charge, and I have calibrated twice in the past two days

Yea I heard bump charging can hurt your battery if you do it to much or more than once and every time you flash a new rom and kernel battery stats get thrown off anyways for a couple of charges

When I reboot and lose 10% or so it seems to catch back up. If I look at the graph there will be a big drop from the reboot then it will seemingly use no power for the for a long time then continue to decrease at at normal rate.

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?

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.
Has anyone ever heard of an instance where the display drains the battery while off? 4 hrs on battery, display using 54%, all others using 4% or less, and display off 85% of the time. 20% remaining.
Just curious. Probably gonna GR then reflash
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Your display is always going to use a large portion of battery. Being on battery for only 4 hours may be misleading. Let your phone run through most of the charge and check again.
As you continue to use it, other apps and services will contribute to battery drainage, in turn lowering the percentage of juice shown used by your display.
Im not trying to imply you are wrong. You may have an issue, and I could be way off base. Just something to think about.
Edit: I re-read your post. It ran through 80% of your battery in 4 hours with minimal use?

My display also drains a large portion of my battery, but never THAT much. Is your brightness really high at all times? If so, turn it down.

Your battery dies really fast while display is off?
The day I posted it was dying super fast. I have not changed anything and it seems to be better but still draining pretty fast. Running better batt stats app for a few days to see if I can catch what's doing it.
Someone in anton's kernel thread said that the first few charges went great but all of a sudden it's draining fast. This is what happened to me. I'll report back what I find out with the app.

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.

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?

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%.
