I just recently acquired a second OEM battery, but when I replace it when it's fully charged into the phone after the first one is depleted (~10-15% left), the battery percentage doesn't increase and stays the same. Is there any software tweak that has to be done in order to get the phone to recognize the new battery?
I'm running MIUI.us build 2.4.6 with Faux's CM7 OC Kernel.
Thanks!
Have you tried killing/charging your new battery, or a battery stats wipe?

When you take the old battery out, try leaving it with no battery for about a minute, then put the new one in. I think it needs time to "forget" the old battery %.

Correct, but not even a minute. 10-20 seconds.

This is the same as deleting battery stats in cwm.

My second battery isn't always fully charged, so I'd prefer not doing so if possible. Will definitely try leaving the battery out for longer, and report back on how it goes.
Thanks all!
Update: Problem solved, thanks guys!

Long story short, I cleared my battery stats immediately after my phone turned off from dying. Upon the first boot after that, the percentage meter read 0% for about ten minutes. I rebooted to see if anything would change, and now my meter reads 1% and has stayed there for about 20 min. I unplugged it, and got the message about plugging your phone in, but my phone stayed on for a while. After dying and turning back on, I put it back on the charger, and it's still at 1%. Did I permanently mess up my phone/ battery? Or is there anyway to fix this?
Clearing battery stats does nothing on this,phone you are ok.

True. But a lot of people feel better doing it anyway.
As for the OP just leave your phone charging overnight, shutdown, take the battery out for a minute or two, re-insert battery, power phone on, do battery wipe again (for the heck of it). And your meter should be ok.

you can ask entropy he's the master. I wouldn't keep doing that though buddy let it charge don't keep messing with it. I've been here since day one,its best to not touch that.but do as you please ,and ask entropy for more info i'm sure he'll chime in to back me

Yeah, clearing battery stats does nothing on first-gen GalaxyS devices, including our interim device. Unknown for GS2.
Google MAX17040 for more info. Or search the Infuse forums for "gingerbread fuel gauge" for my debug thread.
Just let it charge a while. When you're at 0-1%, things can get a little wonky as far as power management and charging. Just let it sit a while and don't run it down that much again!
for the past 3 days, this is what it does after just a random reboot. This was from this morning. *A huge drop in battery life*.
Now granted, have charged it a few times just until i can get to a moment where I can charge it fully without unplugging it.
Just for my own clarification, do you see the huge drop in battery power after the sudden reboot? If so, I'm wondering if the battery isn't bad, telling the phone it doesn't have a charge, and the phone shuts down/reboots.
Was anything done to the phone prior to this problem (new ROM, new kernel, rooted, etc.) other than calibrating the battery? What were you using to calibrate?

My bad on the unclear post. Rushing, multitasking not working...lol. Yeah that's what i'm referring to. I edited the op.
Not sure why it does that. I'm using the battery calibrator from the market. I did install a new ROM a few days ago.

LOL. I flashed the Octane rom by raver. I don't have another battery to test it out, but It's happened a couple times with different roms. Usually when I calibrate, on a full charge at 4.2v, I wipe the stats about 2x's in cwm, then calibrate with the app, then unplug then plug again to boost it back to 4.2v then calibrate again. All of this just to make sure it's calibrated. may be overkill.

I hear ya. I usually do that two or three times, too. All calibration does is, like you said, wipe the stats. The reboot is weird, though, as it's followed by that sudden drop in battery. Could be the battery is faulty. I wish I had more insight to help you.

Heyy after calibrating the battery how long does it usually take to see the effects of extra battery life?
I've seen varying answers on that ranging from 1 day to a few days. A lot of calibrate after flashing a new ROM, so that might add a bit of time as the system rebuilds caches and whatnot. I would think that you would only need to do the full calibration once before starting to see the effects.
I usually do the calibration then go through letting it (almost) fully die, then do a full recharge 2 or 3 times.

Thank you very much sir. So I should just put brightness to max, connect wifi, and turn on as many apps as i can before it almost dies, then turn back to normal and charge to 100?

I don't do anything different when I let it die. I just let it happen through normal use. I guess if you wanted to accelerate it, that would work.
I'm not an expert in battery, but it looks to me like you're putting alot of stress on your battery from the constant wiping, calibrating, and letting it die. I'm not sure but i heard that letting it die too often is a bad thing. Have you tried calibrating it and just use it like normal?
Well err. I just calibrated my battery but it's still going down quickly. I lose like 5% battery in less than 10 minutes

Hi everyone, and merry Christmas. I have an odd battery issue that has been driving me nuts! Every night when i turn my G2x off I lose between 15% and 45% if my battery life. I know this is not an issue with my battery because if i turn off my G2x and pull the battery out when i put the battery back in in the morning the won't even be one percent lost.
I have had this issue on multiple rooms and with multiple kernels. I have had this on EaglesBlood, cyanogen, weapon, and miui. I have had the stock cyanogen kernel, trinity kernel and faux123 kernel. The only time i haven't had this problem was back before i rooted my phone.
Any help you all could give would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

Note the battery charge percent, pull battery, put it back in, let sit overnight, turn on, note battery charge. If it discharged more than a percent or two, phone is probably faulty because it is drawing current when totally off.
This actually happens to me when I leave it off at work for a couple hours. Confuses me as well...

Phone must be drawing current while it's off, which I am pretty sure is happening to me as well. Damnit.

It is obvious that shutting off from the menu isn' t doing what it should, completely shutting off the phone. Backup your ROM then install a vanilla ROM without any additional apps, note battery percent then shutdown from menu and leave overnight then, in the morning boot it up and note if the battery drained. If it didn't, the problem is either an app or the kernel or rom you previously had installed.
So i temporarily went back to a stock ROM and it didn't seen to have the problem. Which sucks because i really don't want to go back to stock....

Any help?

By trying another battery.
I'm in the process of getting the ankers, but my stock battery is trash period, my battery stats show like that, I can be at 30% then reboot and be at like 5, but I can plug in before a reboot and then be at like 50%. I know its going to kill my battery eventually like it did on my buddies G1, and I know that's an old phone but his was doing these same exact things and one day he took it off charge at 100% and 30 seconds later went dead and we never got that battery back.
Last night when I got home my battery was like 30% and I was showing off pix from the zoo my ds just decided to say low battery and shut down. So I gave it 5 and brought it back up with 20%? So I would def think its the battery, seems how hot the stock one gets

Exactly same problem. Sometimes it would be at 12% like for 1 1/2 hour until it gets to 11%. I noticed that my battery drain pretty fast when it gets hot. Eventually my battery works great,I think is the phone. Where I can find de ankers at the lowest price?

Has this happened before to you on other builds of AOKP or other ROMs you have tried? Has this happened to you before you got the extended battery? Sometimes Android will randomly incorrectly report battery statistics such as percentage remaining. For example, it might say 10% left but that "10%" will last for another 2 hours.

Is the battery new. Has it been conditioned. Drain completely and recharge. Then go from there. Not enough info in 10 minutes to tell what is going on. Install Bettery Battery Stats to see what is running. Gsam Battery Monitor will also give more info on what apps are eating the battery.

After you follow these suggestions if that still doesn't work consider whipping the battery stats file to prevent potential incorrect battery stats usage (You can do this in recovery or by downloading a battery "calibration" app).

I'm still negotiating the hyperion battery issue. The phone does not read the stats correctly with one installed. Battery life is correct but stats are wrong. I think it may have to do with the Jerry rigged nfc that was added to their previously made stockpile.

HaHaa. They got you too?
Yup, was drawn in by the extra 200ma/hr. Pretty sure the stock battery is better, but cannot get any accurate calibration on the hyperion. Which ultimately tells me that there is a fluctuation in the output of the battery. That can't be good for the system... Kind of like using a construction grade generator to power a pc, it'll work, but is it safe? Stopped using the hyperion batteries, keeping as backup.
I actually picked up a separate charger. I just leave the Hyperion in it for about 12+ hrs. I downloaded battery calibration app and it seems to be doing a lot better. Not like the first time I put it in but lasting the entire day. Thanks for the help guys..
