Yesturday night I flashed the 4ext recovery, hboot version 1.49.0007, OPPA GANGNAM rom and GAAPS 4.1.
Right after that I calibrated my battery by using it until 1% and then charged it all night. When I woke up it was only at 99% and it wouldnt go higher. Now it only charges up to 92% and the green LED opens to tell me the battery is fully charged... What did I do wrong... Why can't my device charge higher. What can I do to fix this?

There's no fix for this. It's the general android behavior to prevent overcharging batteries. One thing that works on some phones is to charge your phone when it's shut down, it should reach 100% but that's just cosmetic.
Battery guides and how to extend the battery life explain this behavior with more details.

Guys,
when i keep my HTC sensation on charging, it gets charged till 99%, and it never increases, even though i do not remove the charging. The indicator light remains ORANGE... sometimes it does go to 100% with the light turned GREEN, but 9 out of 10 times, it is stuck at 99%.
Is anyone else getting the same problem???
I don't have your phone, but I do know that sometimes when you load roms while your battery is low, the battery stats will be messed up. Or just after a while your battery stats screw up due to charging while the battery is not full..
Try charging fully (if you can get to 99% only thats fine). Then boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats. (if you have that option in whatever recovery you have). Then reboot your phone. Let it drain completely. When I mean completely I mean, when your phone dies, turn it on again and wait till it dies again. Then finally, just charge to the full. If this problem persists, it may be a hardware glitch? lol... Or some Rom glitch? What ROM are you running anyways? If you are at all..?
Hope I helped

I am using the stock ROM 1.28.xxx.
Going into the recovery would wipe out my phone data? and could you elaborate a little more on this process, like the steps and options to do it.
Thanks.
i don't think the problem is in your battery stats because it is a stock rom. Try leaving it on charge overnight to see if you will get green led indicator. Mine gets green when it is fully charged.

Do you have a custom recovery image? That is important. And are you rooted?

Yes I agree with you.. He should probably just leave it to charge overnight. Sometimes it takes very long to get from 99% to 100%.
It is normal, the last 1% takes a while sometimes. But it will charge to 100% if you let the phone charge.

Sensation is not S-OFF (bootloader is locked) yet so almost none of us have custom images. Only %0,001 of users get S-OFF on very very luck. Just informing

which is your concern...
a) the LED being orange at 99%
b) not reaching 100%
?
personally I would not worry about b)
as for a), I thought it went green once it reached ~ 90%?
EDIT: quick correction

NO,if the battery reaches 100%, it turns the battery GREEN, but it hardly reaches to 100%, most of the time it is stuck at 99%.

as most batteries in lots and stored over period of time..sm batteries take time to fully enhance the charging cycle. Its soz of ur batt make..... if u r curious replace the new batt and charge it first it will turn green faster coz batt r of different lot number... do not worry jst follow the guide in batt caliberation post.
Anyone else getting huge changes in battery percentage?
I was running my phone with seemingly low battery use earlier today. Then it randomly rebooted and I was at like 14% battery. Used my phone till it was at 1% and died. Now I just plugged it in, and after about 20 minutes I have a green LED and it says I am 90% charged! What the hell?
Running CM9 Mar 27 build 2, 3.32 firmware.
seems to me like your battery isnt calibrated properly
Its happened to me many times, due to flashing roms. I was on 2% for almost a day lol
Drain the battery till its completely dead... Switch it on just to make sure it wont power on...
Then charge to 100% no pauses... Then delete battery stats.

I heard that this battery calibration thing was a myth proven wrong by HTC or something?
Hi all,
There's this problem with my phone that everytime I charge it, it takes an elongated time to do so. This issue first emerged when I was on stock GB after a minor OTA update which added the power saver toggle to the quick settings menu..The problem is that it takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge the phone, and if I rebooted in the middle of charging when it's about 70% or 80%, it suddenly shows that the phone is fully charged, and the indicator becomes green! But afterwards the battery drains as quickly!
Now I have S-Off and using ARHD 6.6.3 ROM, but it seems the problem persists ..I wiped battery stats as soon as I flashed the ROM as well..Although it's not a problem I cannot live with, it's annoying enough when it happens.
Can someone please help me? And suggest me what to do?

its common thing...the battery calibration is not proper that's all...
also you need to wipe stats once you charge your phone to 100%
then battery will try to calibrate ...and after 3-4 full complete cycles (100-0 and 0-100)
the battery will settle..
the battery drain will be there ...whenever you flash a rom or flash a kernel....battery only settles atleast after 2 full cycles
EDIT: also download currentwidget from market..as the name says its a widget..so you will see it in widgets once you installed it...this will give you more proper reading of battery...when you plug your phone to charge...and when current widget reads 0mah then your battery is charged completely...(it might take a long time to read 0mah...but charge it until you see 0mah)..then wipe the battery stats...so after this battery calibration will be proper
Also the sudden jump of battery percentage is due to improper battery calibration
so dont worry you got no problem
So
I read somewhere that you are not supposed to let the phone go to zero because it could cause your phone to not power back on anymore..is this fact. I couldn't find where I read it to back and read again. Mine has been doing some weird things as well...the led turns green before it is 100% and it goes from 100% and drops to like 89% out of no where.

when i meant 100%-0% means until your phone turns off due to less power..it might not(or won't be) be 0% then
as i told you that kind of jumps are common ...in my case it went to 60% to 100% when i rebooted ...also the dropping used to be in large scale too

Thanks mate! I will try this out! cheers!
Hello. This issue has been going on for a while now. But when I take my phone off the charger when its not fully charged. The battery percentage keeps going up. For example if I unplug it at 78%, the percentage will gradually go up to like 86-88%. Can anyone give me a hint as to why its doing this? Thanks!

Battery stats are wonked out.
Do you have Clockwworkmod recovery installed? Or is this a pure stock unrooted?
EDIT: Mr. Jacob, what are you tense about? LOL ! Just kidding....
Try using an app called battery calibration (can be found in the app market) when the phone is fully charged. This will reset all the battery stat logs and set your 100% to a true 100%
I have clockwork installed. I'm running SkyICS rom. And I have already tried battery calibration.
PS: And nothing really xD its been my screen name since the early Xbox days

Battery calibration does nothing. Normally I wouldn't recommend that u COMPLETELY drain the skyrocket battery as its lithium based and can cause dead cells, yours needs calibrating, and wiping battery stats or using a battery calibration app won't help (both of these are myths by the way, Google if). Use phone until its completely dead, and won't turn on at all, only vibrate with a black screen. Then charge phone for a continuous 8 hours uninterrupted, that should fix it

As a first try, charge to 100%. Then go into CWM recovery and wipe battery stats. It should be good to go....On ICS, thsi seems to fix it for me.
IF you then stilll have weird battery problems a proper recallibration will be in order.
I had to just wipe battery stats when charged to 100%. DON'T just wait for 100%. Alow the phone to get to fully charged.....if you have "Full Charge" notification on your ROM wait for that.

Half of this is right chappatti
charging to 100% and letting it sit for at least an hour even after full charge notification is the best way. Wiping battery stats in cwm won't actually do anything though, thats a myth.
Actually, for lithium ion batteries, it is not recommended to let them discharge to zero. It's better to run it down to 10% or so (i usually do about 5%). and then charge it completely. Rinse and repeat over a few days, and there should be a difference.

Yup, ice, ur are right. Wiping stats is not about battery charging stats....

What a revelation !! It's like realising my religion is all wrong !
BUT, BUT, BUT : reading the whole battery stats discussion, it i also clear that the business of charging for an hour after 100% is also not worthwhile, but is just a customer gimmick to make people feel thier batteries are topped off. This was started by HTC and the consensus is that is also does not help.
The simple solution is to let the battery go through 2-3 charge-discharge cycles.

A good read. Very useful, thanks !
I had this same issue with my Exynos G2, my problem was flashing different roms or putting a theme on. My fix came not by wiping battery stats but only doing flashes at 100% and plugged in. I never noticed it on my SR though. I'm not saying don't try what the others say, just giving you more options.
Hi, so when I charge it, the battery percentage increase very slowly, and sometimes stay stuck to a percentage. I discovered that when I reboot it, the battery is fully charged. I have to reboot it the morning after a whole night charge, because at the morning it is around 80%, and when I reboot 100%. Rooted, S-Off unlocked boot loader from htcdev. I don't have the original charger or cable. I did battery stats wipe in recovery but it still bug. Is there any way to fix it? P.s:I'm on Sensation HD overclpcked ROM

Get an app called battery calibration (I don't remember the exact name) and try fixing you battery.
Also, a full night charge and a full discharge and again a full night charge worked for some people with the issue.
JAM THAT THANKS BUTTON.
Happy to help.
about percentage while charging it is a htc's common issue and there is no fix yet for it
but in your case leaving the device for charging all night and still staying at 80% surely something is wrong
