My battery will only ever charge to 99% and though it's not a big deal it bugs me, anyone else had this problem?
Stock battery with OMFGB 1.3.1 7-30 Nightly with Tiamat kernal.
it does that to me with the Synergy ROM. it'll just stay at 99%, but if i unplug the phone, then re-plug it back in, it will then go to 100%.

I have 2 mesmerize phones and applied the official uscc ec10 update to both of them yesterday. One device's battery performance since the upgrade has been horrible. It will go down 20% the first 30 minutes and only get about 15hours of use before the battery is completely dead. 88% is display. The other mesmerize is healthy and usually has cell standby as the top battery use. Neither phone is rooted at the moment but it is not out of the question. This was not an issue until the update. Does anyone have some suggestions to try and resolve this issue?
I had a similar issue. My phone was using 10%/hour.
However I'm using the EC10 that is available thru this site.
I ended up re-flashing to correct my issue.
Not sure if we can re-flash the stock release from uscc.
Also you may want to disable wifi, and gps. Those tend to be battery intensive.
Here is the link on how to get your phone back to stock:

Make sure you have the right usb drivers for your windows O.S. so that ODIN can properly
communicate with your phone.
There are way more capable members here that I'm sure can offer other ideas to try. Hope you get this issue resolved.
Cheers!
You can flash the stock release from us cellular, if you already installed the leaked ec10 if you flash the stock 2.1 files from the forums here with Odin first. And obviously you disable voodoo if you have it enabled.

drain the phone to as far as it will go and then shut off.
leave it powered off and plug the phone into a computer usb port NOT the wall charger.
let the phone charge up until it says its full.
unplug it for 30 seconds.
plug it back in and charge it til it says full
unplug it for 30 seconds.
plug it back in until it says its full.
do this 4-5 times.
power on the phone.
charge it until the phone says charged.
unplug it for 30 seconds.
charge it again.
do this 2-3 times.
(alternately if you rooted and installed clockwork recovery just wipe battery stats, and use the regenerate recharge method i just mentioned)
come back and let us know if your battery life is different.
after you do this once ALWAYS drain the battery to 10-20% before you plug it in.
charging the phone too soon can damage the battery.
battery makers, and the industry as a whole claim that these batteries have no memory, and i can tell you for 100% fact that if you charge your phone like some drunken lunatic the battery will suffer for it.
what you are doing is forcing the battery to relearn what full battery charge is.
using the wall charger is the worst kind of charge you can use on your phone.
it is ONLY meant for a quick boost charge and is harmful to your battery if used as your only charge source.
the batteries in cell phones now days are best charged with what is known as a "trickle charge".
wall chargers are typically 1amp, and charge the batteries too quickly.
anything over 500ma (a USB 2.0 port) i have found to be an unreliable and piss poor charge.
anyone who disagrees should stop and learn a thing or two about batteries and proper charge methods.
Not to mention judging battery life 24 hours after installing a new OS is a moot point. Give it a few days people, then start judging. When the undervolted kernel is released, we will have no battery issues like back in 2.1 anyway.

yup 100% agreed, anytime you flash a new rom it will completely jack with your battery stats.
that is why you need to wipe battery stats anytime you flash a new rom.
nvm....found it
Hi,
My G2x has a strange problem that I have never had with any of my other Android phones. My battery % jumps as soon as I plug the phone in. Just now I plugged my phone in because I was at 20% , as soon as I plugged it in the battery jumped to 59% . I'm running Cyanogen Mod with the Faux overclocked kernel that uses the DS battery driver. Has anyone else experienced this? Which percentage is accurate? Are there any fixes or work around you know of?
Thanks everyone

Yeah that happened to me. It's just the DS battery driver being screwy. If you unplug it it should go back down to 20 haha. unplug it and plug it back in a couple of times and it should display the correct percentage.
Thanks. that tip seems to work.
Try switching to a stock 2.3.3 ROM and see if you still have the issues
No problem. I switched to the regular battery driver because i like to look at the battery stats and the DS battery driver is too inacurate. Althought there may be better battery life with the DS drivers i havent noticed.
battery stats
When flashing new roms you have to wipe your battery stats and dalvick cache this can also happen if you get a different battery try wiping battery stats^_^
Hi!
When my phone (a normal secretion) shows 9% left of battery, it just dies, and wont boot before it has charged in 15-20 minutes.
It happens on both Anker og EVO 3D battery. I'm currently running the newest ARHD with faux kernel.
I have deleted batterystats when its fully charged and currentwidget shows 0 ma.
Any advises? Thanks!
Well I can tell you that deleting battery stats does nothing. Other than that, no idea.
Hey man I just made a similar thread. I'm using the latest ARHD Rom as well and was having the same issue regardless of which kernel I used. Mine will die at any battery percentage randomly and refuse to boot for awhile. Then ill get a successful boot and it will be done for awhile butthen start happening again. Battery percentage will be jumping everywhere. The only time its fine is when the charger is plugged in.
Sorry for typos on my phone now.

Tnx for answer. I had the same issue with random reboots on the Anker, bit not with the EVO 3D battery, just at that 9%. Im so satisfied with the rom/kernel, so i hate to try another rom.
Im also typing from my phone, its nice!
Hi,
I have recently tried out a few ROMs with my Nexus S to try to get better battery life. I tried CodeName Android and then figured I would try Slim ICS afterwards. I completely wiped everything and installed Slim ICS.
I have observed the following:
- Battery was ~40% when I installed Slim ICS
- I used it until the battery depleted
- Plugged phone into the wall charger
- Started the phone shortly afterwards (~25 minutes) and it says battery is 100% and then the phone randomly shut off
- Phone has been plugged into the wall charger and when I try to start it now sometimes it boots completely and then shuts off. Other times it just shuts off before it finishes booting up. The few times it does fully boot up, it says the battery is 100%
I've read through many postings about calibration but at this point I am not even able to fully turn on the phone even when its plugged into the wall.
Is this expected or is something else going on? I've never seen anything like this when I had the stock ICS. Why would erroneously report 100% but then not even let me fully turn on the phone? Thanks!

Maybe a bad battery?

Battery is fine. I ended up letting it charge a few hours and it now fully boots up and battery is almost fully charged now.
Whats strange is at times, when the battery was close to empty, when turned off and plugged into the wall, it showed the battery as being completely charged so I don't think it was charging. I had never observed this behavior with the stock ICS.

If it happens again I would suggest taking it to a sprint repair

same problem
Even I have faced the same problem whenever I reboot keeping my pfone charging,
This is very normal,
just let the battery drain completely and next time charge it till 100% it will work perfectly,
It happens with me whenever I install new rom.
basically the battery indicator shows incorrect status also battery will drain very quickly later but once you finish installation just let your phone charge for 3 hours . Problem will get solved

Also, you could try clearing the battery stats in clockwork mod recovery

Thanks. So it sounds like its more of a generic issue with ROMS in general as I never observed this before putting on a custom ROM.
Hey guys, I've got a bit of an issue with charging. I'm running Cataclysm ROM with FK r35 kernel with minor downgrading setups that worked perfectly well for me. So yesterday I left my phone on charge over night and woke up to find the charge stuck at 74~76percent and phone was at room temperature. Charger was plugged and in the About section it says AC charging. So I figured maybe its the kernel so I switched it off and kept it charging, but its still stops going above. When using the phone the battery charge reduces normally. Any suggestions? I thought maybe the battery's internal cycle is not in sync but there's no option to reset it.
Edit: atm I'm trying to completely drain the battery and let it charge again. Hope that will solve it.
Try a battery calibration app.

yeah, let it drain down the power it off and back on.
when you say you switched off the kernel, i'm assuming you mean you either flashed the stock kernel back or dirty flashed the rom.

i would do this as well. let it drain far enough to where android shuts it off, and then boot the device up into bootloader and/or recovery. keep it on here until the device truly hits 0%(android shuts it down at 1% i believe). then plug it in and let it charge up completely

Sorry I wrote it wrong. I meant I switched off the phone and tried charging it. ATM ive turned it on and its been charging for the past 1.5hours and its still on 16percent. Its charging extremely slow and in System Monitor app it shows that charging will complete in 3hrs39min...btw I'm using the stock charger and cable that came with it.
