Thunderbolt not displaying battery

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.

I really believe the battery display is an os issue. That's why I'm waiting to root.

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

Lol well do you run a lot of apps that stay open in the background? Example, widgets, twitter, social networking sites, games(especially wordswithfriends) that constantly runs and horribly sucks battery
Also try turning off wifi, gps, bluetooth, sync, and brightness whenever you don't need them.

I need to re-calibrate. I was getting 30+ hours on stock for months. After installing a custom rom, I only got <20 hours until I recalibrated, then I was back up to ~30 for a couple weeks, but now it is back down to ~20. I hate how it seems like after you recalibrate a new phone once, you have to keep doing it. I also don't know why some people don't get anywhere near the awesome battery life my SK4G gives me (best of 7 android phones I have used).
Anyway:
Method 1) Fully charge to 100%. Reboot into recovery. Unplug. Clear battery stats. Do not re-plug until phone is dead (or at least almost dead). Better to let it charge to 100% before unplugging again. Then use as normal.
Method 2) Download "Battery Calibration" free from market. Then run it and follow it's instructions.

my batter life sucks

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.

Haha, yea. Read to fast, selective reader I guess. Thought I saw 'screen off' =)
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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 don't think its the battery in this case.
Sent from my Flashback HC-TAB using XDA Forum App

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.

Battery drain when rebooting

So just yesterday I encountered this problem and i would be grateful if someone would be able to help me. When I reboot my sensation I end up with around 20% less juice. Any ideas? It doesn't happen all the time, just the first time after recharging. I'm running CM 7.1.
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

I'm not sure but it may be connected to the calibration process. Did you calibrate the battery?

Have the same.
Reboot it again and its back to normal.
I guess its a wrong callibration or a bad charge or something like that

[Q] battery for htc inspire 4g

wierd situation i am in. my battery charges to 100 %....i tinker with it and little by little my battery drains to about 90%...heres the thing though....i reboot the inspire and the battery says its up to 97 again. after some usage, it will get to 56 %....i tinker some more, then reboot it. then it is back to 78 %. i have done the battery calibration, manually wiping battery stats through recovery. why is my inspire giving me false battery stats. even when im at 10 %, my cell stays on forever. its like the device is not recognizing its true charge. anybody have any ideas on why this is doing that? any feedback would be appreciated. oh, btw, this phone has done this even when i was pure stock before root. i tried installing a new battery, but that does the same thing.
plz help

What ROM?

Have you let the battery discharge fully after calibrating?

You haven't answered what ROM you're using. Also you haven't confirmed whether you took the battery to a full discharge after calibrating it.

Calibration is a myth. What ROM? Which new battery?
