I recently rooted my phone (last week) and have been getting into flashing roms. However i just read something about battery calibration. It basically said you should calibrate your battery after every flash so that you get your full battery life. (also said the battery itself is not being calibrated but the way android reads the battery is being calibrated)
is it true that you should calibrate your battery after flashing a rom?
if it is true, how do you calibrate the battery on the Infuse?
If there are more than one way to calibrate your battey, whats the best most efficient way?
Thanks in advance to all who help

Someone else might chime in on this, but I there is an option under advanced in CWM (red)(other colors ?) to wipe battery stats. Let a pro chime in first, I have not done it, just letting you know its there.
Thanks, now that you mention it i think ive seen that-its under advamced i think...but ill take your advice and wait for a pro to let me know if that works and if calibration is even necessary

I'm pretty sure I've read on more than one occasion that battery calibration is not needed on the Infuse...
EDIT: After a simple search, I found the thread where I read it...BOOM...
Thank you, I thought it wasn't needed, just wasn't sure.

Hi guys Yosif here I could really use some help here I rooted my phone a couple mouths ago with super one click everything went swell until lately my phone keeps stuttering and resetting itself (not often but still ) and my camera constantly fails T-Mobile contacts backup is constantly running I don't get it! What does this mean? and what should I do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Well you rooted...so the better question is what did YOU do? I don't see how you can say its glitching since rooting when you only started having these problems recently. what did you change? How about you try going into recovery and try wiping the cache and if that doesn't work try a factory reset.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I tried wiping the cache the phone is running more smoothly but camera and other apps are still pausing and the camera still fails I did a fota fix and deleted a few apps ie inception, drive smart and Facebook,don't know guess I'll try factory resetting. I'll report back with the results. Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
if you're still on stock...you can try flashing the rom. check you the bible thread and see if one of those are the best options for you.
if not, there was a thread about a non-functioning camera a few days ago. might answer some questions:

I think that's your problem right there. I remember back when the phone was first released, that people were deleting that as part of the "get rid of bloat" phase, and running into problems as a result.
check out the noobs guide to odin in the bible. i would say to flash to krylons stock kb5.
Did the factory data reset now everything seems to be fine thanks for your assistance

"nonchalantly looking at the thanks button..."
And by the way, you CAN remove DriveSmart (or freeze it, rather). I've done it since KC1 and it hasn't affected a single thing. The camera bug would have nothing to do with that.
Aside from the bible, i have a tiny little eency weency quickstart guide heeeere.

Hello I'm new to xda forum but I've been reading this forum for a while. I decided to flash weapon 3.0 and everything works great besides the battery use. It never wants to reset even when we try to charge it. I've seen some people say something about wiping the battery stats and I was wondering how you do that. Sorry if this has been answered but I searched but I couldn't find the answer.
Reboot in recovery then go to advance , wipe battery stats

Is battery calibration needed?
And why?
Do you have to do it every flash?
And what is the best procedure in doing so?
Your answers are appreciated!
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
I honeslty can't say if it is needed but I believe it helps me out, I flash let it die down (normally quick), then after a full night of charging I calibrate. I've noticed before when I go out and need my phone for stability I will do a nandroid and my phone will seem to die a lot faster then usual with almost no use except for phone calls and texts. So that leads me to believe that it does help out, I use battery calibration from the play store.
I believe it just reflects your readings more accurately than not calibrating correctly. It doesn't really affect the output of your battery one way or the other.

It's not necessary. A Google Engineer confirmed that it does not increase battery life or have any benefit. It just clears the logs that "battery info" (in settings) reads from

Hi Guys
Well, after witnessing incredible battery life on latest HebMIUI (mostly taken from Pimp My ROM and Adrenaline Injector), I decided to make a flashable for the rest of the ICS ROMs we have here.
I must say I also use the LB6 modem which is known to give good battery life, so you are advised to install it too, but, it's your call.
I also add here AutomateIt app, which lets you decide what the device will do for certain events (open/close wifi/3G/4G/screen/charge etc.) which you can utilize to save battery life.
links to modem & sources:
SGH-T959W LB6 modem
HebMIUI ROM
PimpMyROM
Adrenaline Injector
AutomateIt
I take no responsibility for any damage claimed.
Tested on MIUI, AOKP.
Make a nandroid backup and flash it via CWM/TWRP.
Let it soak in for 1-2 days and let me know what you think.
Does this include the build.prop changes of hebmiui?
Yes. ROM name was set to Batt_MOD instead.
Installed on Remics without any issues. Will report back on the battery life in a few days.

Installed on aokp, on boot I get a process is not responding. After that it is fine and so far great battery usage.
i'll try it later.
Currently (CM9 latest rel), Sitting on a desk with full 4G on a 2300 mAh battery, I get about 2-3 days of usage. Plus a few calls and texts.
At school in and out of e, 4g, and deadzone, I get down to ~65%. Then I need to reboot to stabilize or else it will continue to drain at the rate and I'll be dead by the end of the day.
LB6 did nothing for my battery life but I was getting incredibly slow data, so I reverted to KJ4.
I am thinking of padding KC1 and trying it.

Yeah, I also experienced a freezing boot right after flashing on AOKP, but it happens only once & then everything is fine on next reboots.

Has anyone figured out how to not make the phones battery drain overnight? For me if I leave it unplugged overnight it goes down around 20-30%. I've heard that you can use the app setcpu to underclock the phone when the screen is off. Has anyone ever tried this with our phone?

Hi Pisher
AutomateIt is exactly for this cause. You can set it to close wifi when screen is off on a specific late hour and open when morning comes for example...
Just saw this one as well -

Your phone should be *sleeping* most of the time when you're not using it. CPU speed is irrelevant when sleeping. BBS is the best tool for figuring out why it isn't sleeping.
You might also look at Better WiFi On/Off.

Wait till you get another phone that runs a kernel that doesn't support it. Lol. I still endorse system tuner. Way more bang for the buck.

hm, After I flashed this, whenever I tap on the "(i)" in the news and weather app that
comes with CM9 to see the temperatures for the day, it gives me a message that the
app stopped working and closes..
It might not have to do with this battery mod, but I am trying a process of elimination to pinpoint the culprit..
Would you confirm please if the News & Weather app works after you tap "(i)" in the top right corner?
Thanks..
Edit: I forgot to mention that I tried fixing permission, clearing cache & dalvik cache, but same results..
Hi
the only relevance to this app could be from the system\etc\init.d\S70darky_zipalign script.
Try with and without it and see if it helps.
