For some reason my tbolt with das bamf 1.6 remix won't update my battery drains. If I reboot it will update my percentage, but then its stuck at said percent. Any ideas?

Same issue here, please advise what information we can provide to be helpful.
Running Bamf 1.6.2 remix, no kernel changes.
What I did was gleaned from another post somewhere. Maybe not all of this was necessary, but here it is:
1) Charged phone overnight to 100% (whilst powered on)
2) Power off phone
3) Continue to charge ("bump" charge) for about 10 or 15 minutes
4) Power on phone
5) Clear battery stats (in Das Bamf Toolkit --> Troubleshoot --> Battery Statistics)
After the reboot, my Tbolt's battery stats appear to be updating more normally now. In other words, I can really see that 4G suck on the battery...

I've used das bamf, the remix, and lightning Rom so far and with clearing my battery stats and charging it to 100%, I'm still having batter depletion problems. What I mean is my battery is not properly updating as its draining life and will only update randomly or when I reboot, does anybody have any suggestions? Also when I installed bamf, My current, I did It through Rom manager -> recovery, and I never received the das bamf toolkit, wasn't sure about that one either.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
I stumbled across this battery calibration technique while I was pondering this issue last night..
It states here (in step 1.2) that you must charge the battery to 100% (until the battery no longer receives a charge from the USB i.e. 0mA via Current Widget), and THEN wipe the battery stats. Seemed logical.. but did not work for me as the battery never reached 0mA.. as far as Current Widget is concerned, anyway.
New Method:
**DISABLE FASTBOOT**
1. Let the phone die out completely
2. Remove battery, reinsert, and plug in the USB (via outlet, NOT computer USB)
3. Allow the phone to generate a bit of charge (30-45 seconds MAX)
4. VolDown+Power and boot into Recovery.
5. Wipe the battery stats via the Advanced Options menu
6. Unplug the USB WHILE IN recovery
7. Reboot the phone to the Home Screen with USB still unplugged.
8. Once there, plug in the USB.
9. Let the battery charge to 100% (i.e. green LED), and all the way up until Current Widget reads "0mA". This is how you know the battery is FULLY charged. LEAVE THE PHONE ON WHILE IT CHARGES!!
10. POWER OFF the phone with USB still plugged in
11. Unplug the USB, then VolDown+Power and boot into Recovery
12. Perform a second stat-wipe
13. Reboot
By using this method, I noticed the following differences with my Sensation:
- More accurate "battery charging readings" via Battery Indicator (the % goes up incrementally and seems more "stable" while charging).
- Current Widget displays roughly 600mA-800mA while charging, then dies down to about 150-300mA as the charge reaches 100%, as it should.
Potential Fixes:
- The issue with Battery Indicator reading 100% for 15-20 minutes after being unplugged, then quickly shooting down roughly 7-9% per hour with general use
- The issue with rebooting the phone at, let's say, 50% battery power and having it read as 55-60% after it boots
- The issue with charging the phone to 100% (green LED), and having it drop to 99%, then back up to 100%
As of right now, I haven't been able to calibrate the battery to 100% accuracy, but it's much better than before. Will try more testing later on and post results.
For me, the biggest difference between the stock ROM and a dev ROM is that on a dev ROM my awake time is always at 100% and that drains my battery more than stock which doesn't keep the phone awake 100% of the time.
I've searched on this issue and asked many questions but people always tell me to wipe battery stats. I'm not really convinced that wiping battery stats will fix my awake issue.

I'm not sure what you mean by "awake issue", but the only thing that a stat-wipe will fix are the battery measurements. That may be a whole other issue right there.

Which dev rom were you using? 100% awake time is a real problem with the ROM.

After posting this, I installed Android Revolution HD to try to figure out what my issue was. On both InsertCoin and Android Revolution (the only 2 ROMs I've used other than stock), when checking my battery usage in Setup I would notice my awake time would be very high. One easy indication was when looking at the graph, the blue line would be solid all the way across - which shouldn't be. That meant the phone wasn't sleeping.
After some serious research, I've narrowed it down to the calendar which is causing the issue. The thing is, I think it may also have to do with one of the Facebook apps as well (in relation to the calendar). I always have Facebook set to not sync at all and HTC Facebook to sync once a day (max) and not sync any calendar items. In my Google account, I also disabled the calendar from syncing. Even turning off auto syncing all together would still result in the issue.
After removing my account from both Facebook apps and verifying Google isn't syncing my calendar, I see things are already a little better. I just charged to 100% in this configuration, so I'm going to do a bit more research before I continue posting about this. I wanted to start another post about it, but I need to gather more info before I do - the flames have been on high around here lately, so I'm not about to post up something before I get at least knee deep in some ish.

About how long after the phone decided it was charged (green light) did Current widget finally display 0mA? I'm still several hours after hitting 100%, and current widget still shows 5-15mA.
I might give this a try sometime as the inaccuracies in % battery display really bother me. Cheers!

Current widget and battery monitor widget never actually display 0 MA EVER. What I do is unplug it after the MA reading dips very low and then starts to go up again, about 3 hours max after the first green light

After Flashing G2x to the new CM7.1.0.1 and restoring my apps from TB, battery level was what it was before I flashed from Weapon G2x 2.7 (around 35%). After first reboot I noticed that the battery graphic in the status bar change to a picture with a ? in the middle. I then played around with some of the CM settings and changed the display to % which then changed to 100%
I flashed ROM to my backup of Weapon G2x 2.7 with the same symptom. I then went into CWM and wiped the battery stats, rebooted, and had the same problem.
Now I have flashed to EaglesBlood 2.3.7 GB and have the same issue!!
In all of these ROMs I have tried charging from wall charger as well as PC and do not get a charging indicator how ever I am able to USB storage.
Any suggestions?!
UPDATE 1: Just plugged phone in while in off state and the charging battery displayed. Must be an issue in the OS it self.
Install battery calibrator from the market, charge too 100%, use the app, unplug and use it till it shuts itself off then charge to 100% without interruption.
I always get the ? Battery after flashing a rom and even sometimes after a reboot but it settles itself after a couple seconds. Normally after it preps the after card.

Ok, i dont know what changed but I let it run for about an hour and the percent jumped down to 78%. I am now getting the charging icon. Going to completely discharge, wipe battery stats, fully charge, and then wipe battery stats again.
here my problem i flash eaglesbood 2.3,7 and everything is fine then i install my apps nothing major google aaps task killer and even just google app and after a wile my battery stops refreshing and when i restart it,i get a question mark on my battery and all the wigets said 100% witch i know is not, now wen back to stock rom and my battery shows but it get stuck on the current status lets said 90% and for it to refresh i need to restart the phone,, what givess i need help.
Delete your battery stats. Get battery calibrator off the market then charge to 100%, use the app then use the phone till it dies (no charging during this time), then charge back too 100% without interruption.
Battery stats are all screwy after flashing a ROM.

To ensure battery accuracy after flashing new ROMs and kernels, go into CWM and wipe the battery stats in the Advanced section.
To do this correctly, make sure you're at 100% charge when you wipe after the new ROM or kernel is installed.
Ive done the battery wipe but looks like the drivers are getting curupted cus. Even the calibrator says my battery es at 100 Wich is not like the sensor is not detecting charge now if I reset the phone the proper levels show and no question mark on the batt on the bar but after a lil bit it goes back to the (?) And the widget to 100

Clear the stats and do a battery drain/recharge.
Had wacky readings when on my Battery Extender. Was at 0% for like 20 mins of video streaming.
Readings got better after that, but its unreliable until calibrated.
I did, but I'm not getting not even a wacky reading' this is not reading at all

I got an insurance replacement recently and seem to be having serious battery issues. I have a hyperion extended battery too. I dont remember exactly which rom I was running before, but it was with imoseyons kernel and just noticed lots of battery drain. So last night i switched to beans and kt kernel. I let my phone charge all night and it got to 100%. I unplugged the phone and in 5 minutes it went to 92%. I rebooted to recovery, wiped cache davlik and fixed permissions. When I booted it again, phone said it had 37% battery! What is going on?
Edit - The rom before this was rally stock 1.21.

How long did you let it sit at 100%? Cuz if it's plugged in for too long after the 100% it starts discharging
What I would do is charge to 100, as soon as it's charged, unplug and power off. Now charge again while the phone is off to 100% again. You should be good..

Well you could try running galaxy mod, it uses 1 core when the screen is off and 2 when it is on. Uses less.power :/

I had this problem when I first got this phone. I took out my SD card, formatted internal storage and now I'm getting extremely good battery life. Right now I'm at 4.5 hours screen on time, about 5 mins away from 20 hours up time with 22% battery remaining.
Seems like the battery stats are messed up. Let it it die and then charge it up to 100% without interruption and you should be good to go.

You should never let li-poly batteries discharge fully, that will make them die a lot quicker. Thats a big reason why the phones of today whine like crazy when you hit 20%. When you do let it discharge fully that will mess the up the inside of the battery that hold the charge. You should try and not let the battery get under 15% if you can simply to try and get the most life out it.
If your recovery still has it, charge to 100% then wipe battery stats. If it doesnt then grab a app from the play store to wipe the batterystats once you have a full charge.

Blah blah blah blah blah! There is nothing wrong with letting the battery die from time to time. After a few hundred charge cycles the ability to hold a charge will be greatly reduced either way. The fact that it died a few times along the way will have no effect on that.

IHave same prob once installed jb update
Seems to be better right now. I backed files I needed and formatted internal and external sd. Put back everything except photos and cwm backups. I switched my backup format to tar to not have the blob folder. Have not had a chance to charge to 100% yet, will do it tonight and see tomorrow how it goes. Thanks for help!
