[Q] Kernel Panic Upload Mode + Battery Issues - Samsung Infuse 4G

After some embarrassing attempts to first install CM9, then AOKP's ICS, I was finally able to get my phone back to stock, started the root/flashing process and now have AOKP on my Infuse.
I sporadically get the Kernel Panic Upload Mode message on my phone. It has happened (coincidence or not) around the point where my battery states I have near 50% left.
Could it be possible that my battery meter isn't reading correctly? I recall seeing in CMW recovery mode an option to wipe battery stats. Would that "reset" the battery meter for me?

I don't know of this makes sense, but now when I get the Kernel Panic Upload Mode, the Android character can be found layered on top of the red text on the error screen. This is getting stranger by the day. Might this have something to do with my record recovery?

Oops, recovery. Not record recovery!

I installed AOKP 2 last night, and I think I'm now getting an accurate reading of my battery.
Either that or my phone doesn't like this ROM and is draining my battery.

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 get inaccurate info. Seems when i reboot my phone i loose 10-15% charge and it happens all the time. - Extended battery

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

Battery calibration

Ok so ive never had a problem calibrating my battery but now its just not working can somebody give me exact instructions on how i should do it or a way that has worked for them tia

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

Problems with the battery

Hello all,
I have been having a situation with my phone where while I am using the phone and the battery reaches about 80 - 75% the phone just dies without even shutting down, and when I turn it back on the battery is at something like 1%. Even more strangely, if I turn it off and wait for like an hour then reboot, it is back at 80%. I have calibrated the battery, so I am sure it is not a calibration issue. Also, this has been happening on every rom that I use. I had a Vibrant but traded with my father but I have the battery from the Vibrant even though they are the same.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have discovered this is due to the battery itself and not a calibration error. I am using a new one now with no problems. Thank you very much for the suggestions though.

You need to calibrate your battery. download the battery calibration app by nema from the market. Charge your phone to as close to 4200mv as you can. Calibrate in the app. unplug phone immediately. Let it die completely. Charge it back up with no break

Thanks but I have tried this before posting. I did not let it run empty though, so I will try that.

The whole point is to let it run empty after clearing the stats when the phone is full...

[MOD, ICS] Incredible battery life for ICS ROMs

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...

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.

[Q] Need full battery before flashing?

Hey all. Thanks in advance. I have searched.
On my old moment, everyone was absolutely firm that you needed to charge your battery to 100% before flashing a new ROM. If you did not, the battery would lose performance as the ROM would assign 76% (or whatever your battery was at) as the new 100%.
In any case, just wondering if the S3 is the same thing. I would love to flash the new synergy, but I am at 54%... :crying: Some of the posts I have read suggest that I do not have to be at 100% just to have ample charge to make it though the flashing process...
So should I wait until 100%?
Is that the same as resetting your battery stats? If yes, it's been debunked. Flash away.

No, I've flashed at like 10% and everything has ran fine, the only problem I would imagine happening is if the battery runs out while flashing.

Thanks to both! I have flashed away!
Hah! I flashed the other day at 3% and didn't catch it till it was already rebooting. Luckily I know that when I flash, which is just just about every day, that it only takes about 1 minute anyways!

On the droid x, there's no way to boot into recovery from a powered off state. If you flashed a rom and it didn't work (which happened a lot) and had a low battery, you would either have to charge externally or use a different battery. People would freak when it happened for the first time.
