My phone would always charge to 100 percent. I changed over to the new Doctors Rom and now my phone only charges to to 80 percent.. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it....
Change ROM...
It does charge 100% it just doesnt shows "100%" so if you want to see the 100% oprobably just change rom or alter the framework... how? mod the battery icon with:
http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/
Another easier but $ option its Rom toolBox pro
theres a "interface" section choose battery icon changer and chose the vertical green oe with 1% accuracy that fixed it for me on doctors rom.
Or again.... change ROM
xD
Best bet is try Battery Calibration from the Market. It deletes the old battery stat file from the system and creates a new Battery file from scratch. It should fix the battery % after calibration. An older rom you were using could be using the old battery stat file and not a brand new one.

Hi!
I installed samdroid kitchen mod, and I noticed, that the phone turns off, when battery level turns yellow (i'm not sure about percentage, but I think it's more than 5%), however, with stock 2.1-update1, battery could drop down to empty-red-crossed (about 2%?), and phone would still be turned on, and it still had about 15minutes of listening to music life.
With samdroid, phone turns off safely, when with stock it dies. I know it is safer the samdroid way, but I would really like to use my phone for few extra minutes...
Is there any way to change these values, when does phone display "low battery warning" and when does it turn off?
You should download a battery widget. The values given by the icon on top aren't accurate.
I use samdroidmod, but don't experience the same problems..
You can try flashing another kernel with a different battery driver, like qbanin's kernel.
Download coolS from market it will slow down CPU to half speed if not need performance and resumes it if needed, it lifes up your battery.
if not intall from recovery LK2.10.beta1, then convert your file systems from rfs to (EXT2 for system and cache then EXT4 for Data), reboot and apply samdroid turbo you'll have a circular battery with 1% and boost up performance.
test it, it's great.
I'm on Darkyy's v8.0 ROM and without a SIM card. Since I'm without a SIM card the phones time without signal is 100%. My phones standy by time is also equal to the up time of the phone. Is this normal...? My battery is draining unusually fast. I've checked OSmonitor and I get LOTS of errors, but I'm not sure what causes them.
I found the same with that rom suggest use another rom as it fixed my battery drain .

Which rom are you using?
Why not put it in aeroplane mode?

Not sure about other non battery errors:
As for the Battery problem on v8.0
You can either upgrade to V9.1 and/or try the following which is found in their website
(Search for Darky ROM Calibrate Battery)
Calibrating Battery with Darky's ROM:
1. Use your phone until the phone switches itself off (battery empty)
2. Switch on once more to make sure battery really is 0% (it will then immediately switch off once more)
3. Now, keep switched off (!), plug in charger & leave in charging until 100%
4. When battery is full, switch the phone on, unplug & check if the batter immediately drops 1 or 2 %
5. If battery immediately drops, plug in charger once more (while running phone) & let it charge completely
6. Once charging to 100% is done, keep charger plugged in & Reboot into Recovery Mode
7. in Recovery Mode go to: advanced --> Wipe Battery Stats --> Yes-Wipe Battery Stats
8. When done: Go To --> reboot system now
9. Once system has rebooted, unplug charger
Try Simply Galaxy 2.4.1 with ROM JS5, i can run 1.5 day with moderate use of Wifi, browsing and email
Yeah I've had the same experience after upgrading to 9.x, I tried all the usual recalibration tricks and even bought a new battery. i'll give another rom a shot to see if battery life returns to normal.
I highly recommend Juwe's 1.5.5, fast, stable and great battery life.
Shouldn't this thread be in the Q&A section?

Use the app "Battery Mix" available in the Market too identify which apps/services consume an --unwanted-- x amount of power.
or the new Darky Rom 9.5
Well after 2 days of testing the xxkb3 battery usage which I have been talking about as great is a false perception, whats happening is that the battery indicator is not actually updating the real status thus showing good battery life.
I reported earlier that in ideal mode 12hrs night time its only consuming 2% that's not true, whats happening is that the moment i start using the handset in morning just after few mins I noticed a sharp drop in battery status I got confused the 1st day of test so did it another day & noticed the same behavior, hence installed battery Notifier (big text) which shows directly in the status bar & that showed a mismatch since this morning.
Here are few screenshot at 80% actual battery the icon is still showing me full charge to make me believe that its a good battery......now is it a bug in xxkb3 which should be reported or any way to correct it? DDKB1 which i was using earlier never had this problem.
The Green text at left is the battery notifier.
Dude i dont think its a problem.
The indicator changes according to the % of battery remaining. The default status indicator will have only a total of 4 to 5 stages of indication.
above 80 - state 1
above 60 - state 2
above 40 - state 3
above 20 - state 4
less than 10 - state 5.
For example
if % is above 80 , then the indicator will show full.
if it is in between 60 to 79 then it will show some changes.
Im using battery status widget to monitor battery as it gives more info on the battery status.
if % is above 80 , then the indicator will show full.
if it is in between 60 to 79 then it will show some changes.

yes that is what happening so you confirm that its normal. I will test it for few more days, do we have any app which can graphically plot the battery stats?
Yes, this is normal, you can check this battery indicator out it's pretty detailed - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8639993
Or, you can replace the default indicator - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724778
Thanks a lot
I have been hunting for that app in the market but could not find any such app there.

Try JuicePlotter from the market!
btw, dont these battery indicator apps themselves drain battery quite too much?

......and it is the same in KB1 as well. It is the normal behavior. @sgsI9003 Now the point is why the battery indicator (the stock blue one) suddenly drops when u start using it.

My guess is that at till 80 it wont show any drain & & then when I use for 30 mins assume it consumed another 10% so suddenly I see a drop of 30% bcoz the 1st 20% was not even showing at that time & I use to wonder how come 30 mins using consumes so much battery?
Now all is sorted out with these numerical indicators. After 3 days of testing I can say that xxkb3 has better battery life on ideal /standby if you use the phone just for calling it can last easily 48+ hrs, with web surfing, mail access & other multimedia usage it would last 12-24hours only depending upon how much its being used.
Another testing now reveled that each night I have different amount of drain which I assume that its due to radio signal interaction. Best practice is to switch off or put to airplane mode to conserve battery or have an app which can follow a time schedule to do this automatically.
Dude! why don't u try battery solo widget (free version from the market). It looks awesome & consumes around 2.9mb of ram with negligible cpu. so hardly any effect on the battery life.
For battery solo widget I have always had to go back to home screen to look the status but with battery Notifier (big text) I can see it always in real time on the notification bar.
Hi guys,
I have a problem that I hope someone can help me:
I have installed Darky rom 10.2.2 but don't like the battery icon and so I changed for the one that is in darky rom 9.3.
I open the res.framework.apk and replaced the images from the 9.3 to the 10.2.2.
But now I have just a problem, I copied all the battery images from darky 9.3 to darky 10.2.2 but the last darky rom as also 100 images for the battery charging and the 9.3 don't, it only have 10 battery charging images.
So I deleted the other 90 battery charging images in 10.2.2 res.framework.apk thinking that it will work and that the phone was going to use the 10 battery images for charging instead of 100, but it didn't work.
What it happened was that when my phone was charging the battery image didn't appear at all, (no image), only an image with this sign "?" like it has no battery. But when I disconnect the charger the normal battery image appears again and charged.
I think this is because there is an .xml that is saying how many pictures there is in the framework.res.apk and because I delete the charging pictures no charging pictures appear.
Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks guys...
it drops ever 5%
100% --> 95% --> 90% --> 85% ...
not 100 -> 99 -> 98 -> 97 ...
what's going on ???
MIUI brainmaster 11.4 + franco 8 NOV
wow.....amazing...
how many cycle have you been after flashing franco kernel???
have you wipe battery status??
what do you mean by "cycle" ???
does it need to wipe battery status before flash anything ???
sorry didn't make myself clear
only status bar drop every 5%
but when i use other battery monitor apps , it shows normally ...
battery cycle...
lets say..fully charged and drained battery--> one battery cycle.
I dont know really....but If I were you..I will reflash ROM again....
go ask BM...I think he will have the answer.....
battery wipe:fully charged..after that wipe battery stats
thanks guys , problem solved , something about MIUI control panel setting
