Ok, I'm having this issue where the battery reading is off or something, on my bike ride my phone was at %4 at 11:15p I came home and plugged it up an charged it and by the time I was done eating at 11:20p the battery was already @ 74%?! I remember GB had a fix for that, but I haven't found it for ICS, its very annoying.
So question is, is there a flashable fix for this? BTW I'm on Ordroid

wipe the stats and calibrate the battery again
there are couple of apps (battery moniter widget)
use that to properly calibrate the battery
also remember this jumps are common when you freshly flash a rom

You should do battery callibration. U will be able to do it in ordroid from from the ordroid twicks supported by rom let the go to full charge then while on charging go to twicks go to. battery Then wipe battery status.bin restart your phone and unblug from charging it must be @100% let it to discarge untile reaching 2% do chrge ever let it down to 2% then charge it again to 100 without unbluge again do this acouple of times it will be fine again peace dude

Hi,
Battery calibration is a myth
But cycling it(charge/deplete/charge/deplete) does work.
I find 100% --> 5% several times "trains" the battery,and there are fewer jumps.
Also,when you reach 100%,leave it charging for fifteen minutes.

Ok guys.. Im new to sensation and to all battery calibration stuff..
Can you please explain to me how to properly calibrate battery ?
I have flashed custom rom (insert coin) and custom kernel (bricked) and now i need battery calibration..
I have 0% of battery on phone at the moment (phone is dead off), and what to do now?
Please tell me ...
thanks in advance

Charge too 100% once it's full turn off and charge till green light on.
Boot up power down and charge till green again. Boot into cwm delete battery stats on advanced and reboot. The then just use your phone for a few full cycles. Don't expect it to be better instantly could take days

Thanks for swift respond
Is that same way like some 1 mentioning in some thread, app for battery calibration ? Will i get same results with calibration app ?
The app just wipes the stats for you
Sent from my Sensation XE using xda premium
Thanks for all answers..
I want to know this because i read somewhere here that when i calibrate my battery, it will all be normal..
And battery drain widget will show correct values..
p.s. And ive read somewhere to use Battery Monitor Widget, because only that battery current drain monitor shows correct values for Sensation..
Is that right ?
What program to use ?
Thanks again
Laynee1
Press the thanks button then lol
Bmw (battery monitor widget) isn't totally accurate either. To get most accurate reading tick mA corrections in bmw settings. I'm still pretty sure it's off tho, try some of the tips in the thread I posted, my battery is going OK

I'm not sure if you've heard of this method but I'm in the process of working on this one as I just flashed a new rom onto my phone.
Charge it up to 100%, use it until it drops to 15% and then fully charge it again. Once it's 100% again, use it and use it past 15% and then fully charge it again. Right now I'm at the finishing part of charging my phone cause I just used it past 15%. Will tell you if I do see any improvements or significant changes.
Probably going to try out whynot's post on battery calibration as well.
I have a known issue.. but with a twist
When.my battery is showing that there is like 90% left. After a while and I reboot, there is only 4% left. That's a.known issue. But here is twist. If I reboot again, its back to 80% orso. And when I do.another reboot there is 75% remaining..
Another reboot shows 74% and so on
I'm sorry if this a known issue.. i don't have much time to search things while I'm working 45h a week.
Anyone knows a.solution for this?
I wiped battery stats. Discharged a few times and the.HTC trick.. non of these work
additional info.
stock battery
HB 1.23
ICS ARHD 6.0.3 before IC and VS
stock kernel
happening for like 2 weeks now

i dont think you can do anything about it. people say that turning off the device instead of restarting helps. i also have battery jumps but not nearly as extreme as yours. maybe ~5-10% jump. if its a drop jump then it will stay there until the real percentage reaches that said level, if its higher then it will drop quickly to the real percentage. from my experience that is, not a big deal

I know that 10-15% drops are normal.
but a drop of 70% is a bit odd.
Its not very serious but its quite anoying, i think its affecting my battery life
Try flashing the battery fix. It helped me out. I had same problem but not so radical.

Use your phone for a while without changing roms or clearing stats, don't charge until your battery is totally dead then don't take of charge until it is totally full, once full turn off and charge till light green, then back on and charge till green then repeat till you feel confident that your battery us full, then go through full discharge and repeat it will settle down but patience us required, remember stay with 1 rom radio and kernel without clearing anything for at least 4 days

Attached is the fix I used to remove the problem with battery percentage changeing after restart.
I do not remember where I found it, but it helped me.
Do i flash this in cwm?

Does wiping battery stats too often due to flashing alot of roms reduce stock battery performance ?? Being curious..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
No. The battery stats file is only used for determining battery drain. It does not have an effect on battery life one way or the other.

wiping battery stats does nothing to your battery and actually the battery stats are wiped automatically every time u fully charge ur phone:
Dianne Hackborn said:
Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it go away.

If the battery stats get wiped every time it hit 100 how one can keep the same battery life daily ?

The only way to really preserve a battery is to fully discharge, fully charge. Mine was going great until I slacked on it. I started only charging a little, fully charging from 40%, etc etc. Now, I'm on 100% for two hours. Then I drop fast to about 80%. Then I float around 80 to 60% for a few hours but once I go below 60%, boom, 20%. The last 20% go quick too.
Don't get me wrong, my battery life is basically the same, but now it's really inaccurate. If you start to feel this, the best thing you can do is fully charge, fully discharge. Do that a lot, over and over. It might help correct it, might not.
But to reiterate, no, wiping battery stats does nothing.

Okay thanks alot but can a custom rom really make that much difference on battery life's performance ?? On my old x10 no matter how many scripts tweaks for batttery they would add i would always get same battery life is it the same here ?

Im having problems with my phone battery drain and shutdown. I tried 3 different roms and they all had the same problem. Im assuming it's not the rom. Tried insertcoin sense4, coindroid, and now leedroid sense 3.6. Please help me, i had my phone plugged off for 1hr and it already drained half of my battery. It seems like the phone shuts down because of low battery even though it still has because it dsnt shut down when plugged. When i turn on the phone, it will shut down again unless i turned it on plugged. Please help me... Maybe its the firmware. I rly dnt know. All i know is flash stuffs

uhmm.. Help?
Sense ROMS Drain up A LOT of battery :l Perhaps try reflashing a ROM, I would suggest Virtuous Inquisition, and CALIBRATE the battery ( Let it charge overnight ), If your battery still seems to be draining to half a bar per hour after a full charge, try changing your battery~

Okay I'll try that. I'll also check if it has something to do with overclocking

Definitely, overclocking takes up more battery and can damage your processor .
Actually overclocking to 1.7ghz gve me much batter battery using miui but sense roms USUALLY take up a lot of battery but they are pretty much there now eg arhd or coindroid, when you flash a rom drain the battery to <10% and then charger it up fully and you should notice brttery battery.
As for your shutdowns, unless you are overclocking to above 1.8ghz your phone shouldn't shutdown, your battery has most probably just worn out, either order a new extended one or try taking it out for the night and then put it back in, should work then.

Same thing happens to my phone from time to time. In my case it helps if I remove the battery and then press and hold the power button for 15 seconds, then put the battery and cover on and do a full charge without turning the phone on.
You could also check to see if the battery is firmly seated in its bay and if not, wedge something in the gap to keep it firm against the contacts. There is a quite popular thread about it somewhere on this forum.

Hi,
About a month or two ago I think, I've had a problem that my phone randomly reboots.
But for now my phone shuts off. I've tried many things so I don't know what to do right now.
Put some paper between the battery and case for better connection.
Also it's only when my phone is beneath the 20%
Maybe change my battery or just go for the One X?
Thanks

maybe your batttery is dying
It might just be a conflict since you flashed a new rom
Some say that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything, so just download the app battery calibration from the market and charge your battery then go into the app and hit calibrate battery
I had the reboot issue on some custom Roms, and shutdown when the battery safe Plan is reached - decrease the battery safe to 5% or lower.
PS. since i am in fully stock condition (was in repair) no problems.
