If your using marcel kernel for cm7 then there is battery bug,it shows full battery when you plug to the charger but remove plug then reconnect it.it will show correct battery percentage.it is safe to charge phone when it is switch off.

I am on purumod v3 .....when I was on stock this problem was critical. Like even if I charge when the phone is off the battery drained quickly. It is better in purumod. But a problem is problem and it has to be stopped! !

there's apps to do it or the better option in my opinion is to use zeppelinrox's script to do it. just Google search for it there's a thread on xda with all his scripts.

Thanks Mate :good:

I have a severe battery problem. The phone automatically turn off itself when there is still 4000mV left
(this is the voltage the battery calibration app says, i've confirmed it with an actual voltage-meter)
Wipeing batterystats.bin (calibrate the battery), doing a factory reset or switching back to cm7 does not help

I got a battery from Samsung with my new phone that wouldn't hold a charge. I phoned them up, they asked me some questions, were happy that I wasn't trying to scam them, and they sent me a new battery. It wouldn't solve your problem, but at least you could have a spare!

Get an app from market called CurrentWidget, after installing plug in charger and check amps, it Must be 999 mA not higher nor lower. If it is higher then get other charger.

[Q] cleared battery stats at the wrong time?

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!

[Q]How to calibrate battery

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

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

Thanks button hit on every of your post here
Cheers mate
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.

[Q] Battery Percentage not updating after switching batteries?

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.

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!

Battery

How much battery do you guys usually get? Recently I've noticed a large drainage of battery and I know phone isn't too good with battery but even this doesn't seem normal. Some of my apps use 1-2% of battery per minute! Is this normal or not?
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Oh and my battery never gets to 100%, the phone will tell me it has reached 100% but as soon as I unplug it, the battery is usually at 92-95%, also I use Juice Defender and it seems to help but not much..

generally my phone will last all day, but that is only when i rarely use it. when im using it a lot, for example if im playing games and listening to music, it lasts about half a day. but it all depends on how you use it. if you are using a lot of 3D apps, your battery will drain quickly
Mine lasts all day. I listen to local music and have push email hitting me most of the day. I might have to charge it at night if I use it a lot and I am up past midnight.

I think the Blaze battery is one of the best I've seen. I use my phone lots from 8am till 23:00 and it gets down to about 5%.
That's on Dark Knight ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T769
Odd ive got over a day on my battery with over 4 hours display time on my blaze with erikkm's darkknight rom with moderate use Lithium ion batteries have a memory and when you fully kill the battery it reduces its memory slightly, always always try to charge your phone before 30-20% and dont unplug your phone while its charging that can effect the battery memory as well.

any best way to increase battery life??

hav seen so many posts on this but didnt get to the right one!! any mods through which we can get good battery life??
Sent from my Micromax A91 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Logically, the battery can be saved by less brightness; switching of the unwanted apps / wifi / bluetooth, etc. And lastly power saving mode.
I had problem when changing roms i would get really good battery life initially then would gradually drain fast over time. I usually leave my battery to drain down untill phone switchs off, but now i started charging at %20-%30 percent and saw a significant difference in battery decrease. And river just pretty much covered every other way of saving battery.
There are a few mods for better battery life but what I did was buy an extended battery.

Power saving mode. Lower brightness. Last but not least Greenify. I do not undervolt my devices since this affects responsiveness.

Always fully charge your phone up to 100% and wait a couple hours then disconnect.
Don't disconnect cable while charging.
Always drain the battery till the phone off or 1% left.
I know this by testing it to my LG L3 e400.
At the beginning the phone only had about 2 days standby time. Now it's 7 days 19 hours standby time.
Don't forget to use a good Rom.
Do this at your own risk.

Idk but totally draining your battery can do more harm than good for it. Charging it at around 20% percent is fair enough. Discharging it once a month can be helpful as it resets your charge cycle.

Lithium ion/polymer is not the same as NiCad. You don't need to peak charge, nor fully discharge lithium batteries. In fact, they're healthiest with a moderate charge. NiCads could develop "memory" if not properly maintained and conditioned, where they'd prematurely dump and/or not reach their max charge. Lithium batteries don't.
Greenify helps a lot.
If you have xposed installed, then you might want to take a look at DS battery saver.
