Well I have a samsung galaxy s advance (GT-I9070) with jedMOD Rom but my problem is the battery, because I used to when I had the stock gingerbread rom everything was fine but now with this rom something is wrong with the battery for example : When I charge the battery and I get the notification that is already loaded to 100% as I disconnect and 2 minutes later I see the phone information and tells me that the battery is 92% ... then what I can do?

You may want to look at what is draining your battery under battery statistics. If nothing there is abnormal, it may be the battery. I was experiencing a similar issue with my GSII. It would be down to 80% in a matter of minutes. I tried underclocking my CPU and everything, then it dawned on me to check the actual battery, sure enough it was starting to bulge. I replaced it and over the weekend I went 21 hours without having to charge my phone once!

hi all
i got my new w8 last week and i did not charge it for 8 hours ...
when i got it i straight
-root it
-install a new rom
-and bring it out
-all in 40mins or so
is it a factor?
cause now my battery only last 4 hours before going to 0%
while my sister's w8 (same model ) have 60% battery after 5 hours .ck ..
really scared man cause 4hours battery life is unusable
even in stock it's still draining ...
specs -
w8
stock kernel / rom
will buying a new battery help?
Just recalibrate it. Turn it off and charge 'till full, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, turn the phone back on and use it until it turns off by itself.
Try calibrating the battery... but I must also add that I flashed some ROMs and when I restored the backup of my original ROM, the battery life was absolutely horrible and the phone kept overheating. I flashed MIUI and now it's like a new battery again.
there are some free battery calibration apps in market too. some latest works too.
battery calibration is very god
Very unlikely that you did any permanent damage. But I would be sure to do a few full charge cycles. As in charge to 100% and leave it plugged in for a while, and then allow to drain all the way to shut down.
Hello everybody!
My HTC Sensation is acting kind of weird the last few weeks.
It all began when i flashed CM 9 on it. It worked great, but pressing both the volume button would cause it to crash, so i flashed CM10 (kang) to it.
Now what happened at CM9 already was that it would just turn itself off at some points. During browsing, or taking a picture, Or just sitting in my pocket.
I had a almost full battery at that time(about 70%+) and it just went dead, reboot would give me 1% left. In CM10 the same problem happens. This time i took screenshots of the battery management screen, i included them in the attachments.
I wiped battery stats even tough it is a myth but could always try it. Did not fixed this.
Now the funny thing is when i reboot the device and it says it has only 25% left of charge. It reboots and BAM i have 75%, Reboot it once more and i lost 10%, rebooted again and it kind of stabilized. Now i have it on the charger and i am watching it, the LED on top stays on orange for about 2 seconds, then turns to screen for 1 second and then it turns of. then it just cycles trough the same again.
I hope i am making myself a bit clear about this and i will answer all questions i might have left out that are important.
Please help me because i cannot trust this phone anymore, it dies without warning and i have to boot it to find myself stranded with 1% left (which ironically can last for hours if the phone doesn't die).
PS. I included 3 screenshots. The first 2 are from when it died 2 times, as you can see the dips.
The last one is when i rebooted it and it gained allot of percentage.
Thanks in advanced

Have you checked to see it if you have any wake locks? You can check with better battery stats apk. Also might be time for a new battery. You can get a good extended battery like anker for under 20 dollars,. My stock battery life was so bad, changed it to extended battery now it's really made a difference!
Hi,
I recommend you to see if you have any wakeclocks (Check via BetterBatteryStats)
You might have a bad flash. Check MD5 of ROM/Kernel
Check your running applications.
Let your newly installed ROM settle down for a few battery cycles.
But in your case, maybe a new battery?
I moved before few days from stock ROM to Bruces CM10 from 14.11. and have battery problems too. It drains to fast ROM is pretty stable, but with this battery life, I can hardly use it... Now I am on battery only for 10h 26min, display was ON for only 1h 55min and I am on 17% with battery... Something is bad

I have same probleme. I move from stock Rom to 11.11Bruce CM10 then upgraded to 14.11 but my battery life now very bad. I could reach up to 30h battery without charging with stock. In addition to that, I realized that the battery level could be significantly different from one boot to another : Phone show 41%, I reboot then it show 57%...
Need help but can't report on bruce thread.

It´s the same for me too... Battery skips on different values after reboot... For example when I am charging and battery is on about 90%, I do reboot and after that phone is on 100% battery... Weird...
Hi, my phone battery keeps messing up. I have done a battery calibration but it still seems to mess up.
The main problem is that the battery runs out, 10 mins later I have like 3 percent battery, then that runs out so I start to charge it, it charges up to around 20 percent then it jumps to around 60 percent.
By the way I have terrible battery life too - maybe 1 to 2 hours of use before running out.
Edit - I didn't say this but I am on albinoman887's cm10.1 rom.

I'm facing a similar issue, and changing Kernels doesn't seem to help either.
Things have gotten slightly better now in today's build. If updating doesn't help then you should try staying in an older build, the last where the issue was not present.
I don't think its the ROM's issue. Even by itself, after reboot I gain a few % of battery but those deplete quickly.
And then while charging. I restart, from 20% to 60% is possible too. So its not recommended restarting while charging.
Full charge then calculate drain pattern.
I have similar problems. My phone also shuts down very often. When I turn it on again it shows strange readings like 0%, 11% etc. If I reboot my phone it might either stick with the percentage it showed before, not boot at all, or jump back to 80% or so. However, it never takes long before it shuts down again. Even happens sometimes when using my charger...
Chances of my phone shutting down instantly are nearly at a 100% when using the flash while taking a picture.
I don't know what to think in terms of whether or not this is a software or hardware issue as many other people have similar problems, all on different roms and kernels.
Currently I am on:
Firmware build: 3.33
Kernel: Sultan Kernel r21
Rom: JBMIUIv4.1 #3.3.1
about battery percentange when chraging it's a commonn htc issue
i have the same too
no one has found a solution for it yet
Do you all get bad battery life too? Because I don't seem to get a very long battery life.

No. The battery life on Albino's builds has been nothing short of fantastic for most. You might consider replacing your battery if it's the original stock one. It's bound to be wearing out by now.
I have just bought an anker battery so I will see how it fairs vs he original battery.
R: Strange battery stats.
I believe its something that occasionally happens when u change a rom and kernel. I remember theres somewhere where u can reset battery stats....i think in clockwork...

In fact, kernel and ROM do affect battery life, search for what fits your cell phone the best.
I get amazing battery life on ViperS 1.6.3 and the latest Faux + Yank555's kernel besides TurboBoost MOD... These can make up a great combination

I dont think they affected the rom so much as to ruin the battery or drain it faster. Charge the battery and reset stats 90% i bet it works.

I have had this problem through numerous roms so i have put it down to the phone and not the software.
R: Strange battery stats.
It can happen at any point if u ever flashed a not-so-secure or old rom.
Once the battery percentages, for any reason, get corrupted, theyre gonna stick to being corrupted no matter how many flashes u try.
Really its not that difficult u just have to press a button (i believe, as i said, in clockwork but im not sure) and all that will happen is when phone reboots battery will get reanalyzed and resynced, nothing else gets modified. might save ur day.

I do this every time I flash a new rom anyway, but thanks for the suggestion.

You are describing 'battery calibration'. Its complete urban legend hogwash. It does absolutely nothing.
Wiping the battery stats has no effect whatsoever on battery performance. Those stats get wiped every time you charge the phone to 100%.
However, you can improve the battery reporting by charging to 100%, then draining all the way to 0%, then charging all the way back to 100% again without rebooting (other than after it shuts off at 0%). This is not calibration. Its just running the battery through a full charge and discharge cycle. This helps to stabilize how the draining is reported. It does nothing to actually make the battery last longer.

Then please explain how I can drain my battery to 0% if my phone shuts off every minute. As long as I keep the charger plugged in, my phone will function like it should. However, as soon as the charger gets disconnected, it's only a matter of minutes before the screen goes blank and my phone shuts itself off without notice. Then when I reboot, chances are that either 1) it won't even boot and shut itself down at the splash screen 2) it's gonna give me a strange battery reading and shut itself off again after 10 seconds of activity. So how am I supposed to drain my battery if I can't even get it to drain, because it constantly shuts itself off?

The stock battery that comes with the Sensation is known to have this problem. I experienced this problem quite often before I was rooted; a new 1900mAh battery remedied the issue. Here is proof that this isn't software related: after becoming extremely frustrated with the lags and random reboots of my recently ICS-updated Sensation, I decided to do a factory reset. The phone restarted normally with all data wiped and everything seemed like normal again. So I was just sitting there happily with my phone at 50% battery. I decided to open the browser to go and browse the web, and the phone was quite goo- BOOM! RANDOM REBOOT! After my phone finished rebooting, it was at 4% battery!
Moral of the story: HTC doesn't know how to make batteries. Buy a third party battery like Anker.

battery life varies from phone to phone, kernel to kernel and rom to rom. but your battery behavior sounds exceptional.
Like stated previously, wiping battery stats in recovery (Battery Calibaration does exactly the same on rooted phones) has never proved me to be efficient. Random shutdowns occur when the phone isn't recieving enough juice from the battery, the demand in voltage will exceed the CPU's capacity and the phone shuts down to prevent damage.
here's something you can try and it worked for me. I used to have random shutdowns and poor battery life aswell.
Wedge a piece of paper, like 0,5-1mm thick, between the upper right corner of your battery, and the battery housing. This way the battery will be presses firmly against the 4 contact pins. Also make sure the contacts are clean.
maybe it's just a battery issue. What does the battery info section say about the condition of the battery?
My anker battery arrived 2 to 3 days ago and it seems to have stopped all problems with the battery.
Thanks for all the suggestions though. I will refer back to this thread if any other problems arise.
hi,
Phone Model : HTC Sensation Z710e
Status : Unrooted
Since I upgrade (official upgrade) to ICS 4.0.3 my battery is having an unusual problem. Say if I charged the phone to 100% and keep it, the next morning the battery drains out to almost dead without any wi-fi,bluetooth,data connection.
I have tested some other things as well, after it is 100% charged, if i power off the phone, remove battery and put it back and power on the phone, it still drains like 4% of battery in that 1 minute. Sometimes it is more. I have checked the battery and it is in good health.
Could it be due to the OS or something? How do I fix it? Please suggest
Thanks
Charging might help

If your phone is not rooted then first drain your battery below 10% and then switch off the phone. Then charge it to 100% in the off state. Now disconnect the charger and turn on the phone. It will not bring a drastic change. So don't blame me if it doesn't work.
If you have any idea of rooting, then I would prefer clearing battery stats using clockwork mod.

Check running apps on settings - battery - (varies from versions of os settings - battery usage) From there you can see what apps eats the battery eg. Facebook eats 23% Android system eats 70% or whatever (example only dude ) Or just buy a new battery
I have done full drain and full recharged several times. I might try that clearing battery mod.
Secondly, I have already mentioned that my problem is not with battery.
Any other ideas would be appreciated
Thanks
Hey guys I am a long time Android enthusiast. I have one of the most popular Samsung devices which is the Samsung Galaxy fit. The problem with my Samsung Galaxy Fit is the battery. Earlier before any tweaking battery used to be normal. After I installed CM7(official build). My battery started draining randomly. At first it was ignorable but then the problem became severe. From 100% it would drop to 88% in just 2 mins use and then from 88% it wud drop to 70% in another 5 mins and the entire phone would be dead in just 3 hours at best. When I would charge the phone again the battery will also be charged randomly going from 5% to 20% and then 20% to 40% all this in just 10 mins. In no less than 20 mins would my phone be 100% charged but that's fake as the battery would drain from 100% to 0% in three hours.
Following are the solutions are tried
Changed the batter,used a brand new original battery(FAIL - DID NOT WORK)
Flashed stock Rom (FAIL - PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS)
Changed Charger (FAIL)
Recharged battery on a different phone and then inserted the battery in fit (FAIL)
If anyone has any solution please let me know. I AM ALSO WILLING TO DONATE IF PROBLEM GETS SOLVED.

You could try Battery Calibrator.. The app is available on Play Store.

Hope this will help you..
1. after flashing custom ROMS, back to recovery or CWM then wipe the battery stats.
2. calibrate the battery while device is on, i ussually use Mugen Power app (install app, choose the standard battery, charge until 100% then click calibrate, after that use the device until the phone is dead then charge until 100% again while device is off).
other Calibration apps ussually have the same steps like the steps i mentioned above, so just use one app..
3. if you still having the battery drain, maybe you should go check the hardware in some technician, coz it could be the hardware that has the problems.
