Battery Calibration Necessary? - Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G

I've read on different forums that after flashing a new ROM it's important to calibrate the battery and some saying it doesn't matter. I really couldn't find anything about this directly here in XDA. So I'm curious, is calibrating necessary? Also, in recovery, there's an option to wipe battery stats, should I do this as well (before flashing a new ROM, of course)?

Wipe battery stats is practically calibrating and isn't necessary. Newer updates to cwm that option is gone.

The only time you should calibrate is when you update to a newer version of the rom your running without doing a complete wipe. Thats what i have been told and seen in other threads.

I suggest you do alot of reading about the ins/outs of flashing roms and kernels before you attempt anything

Get a kernel for the nexus s such as netarchy, trinity or matrix. Take a back up of your existing ROM, flash the new kernel from recovery and reboot. This will not delete all your apps. I'd you don't like it just restore the backup you took.

Go in recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache, and just flash new kernel. You will not lose anything. And you can flash another one if you don't like that one. I recommend not to use ROM manager to flash anything. Flash kernels and ROMs from Recovery, and Radios via fastboot...
Not sure about restoring kernels from backup...never done that. If you know which one is in your ROM you can download it and manually flash it back, if you don't like the new one ...
I would recommend one of Trinity's kernels TUV10 or TUV11 ...

You're just minimizing potential damage, and in fastboot there's less possibility for something to go wrong. Radios are more fragile. I was using that method with my HTC Desire. Don't know, maybe things are different with nexus, but i'm still using that method .
Here's one quotation from oxygen forum:
forum.oxygen.im said:
When you flash a radio over a recovery, the recovery extracts the downloaded radio.zip into /cache partition. So the radio.img is stored there temporary. For this operation the /cache partition needs as many as 25 mb. If it hasn't, they might occur big problems.
Furthermore, it's better to do it, because there isn't any software (e.g. recovery) which could go wrong.

Smartass sucks on the nexus s from my experience. If you flash roms in recovery you wipe data, cache and dalvic cache if flashing a different rom. If its the same rom, just wipe cache and dalvic cache.

I don't have great experience with ROM manager, but maybe that was just me . I just prefer manual CWM recovery use, and fastboot/adb when needed .
If you're installing new ROM, yes, you should wipe all caches and wipe data/factory reset.
You don't need to change anything with Trinity TUV kernels, they are great with performance and power saving ...
Don't use SetCPU or similar app, just try it as it is...

i tried juice defender on my nexus s and it caused a few problems.
My buddy with a thunderbolt likes it.
If your looking for battery stamina look at two things. (in my experience)
Apps left running. Slacker was a problem if not closed correctly. To many running ETC.
second and even more important
SIGNAL STRENGTH
At work my signal sucks and my battery will drain to almost nothing just sitting on my desk if not charging. When i bypass data and connect to my jobs wifi and turn off wifi sleep(just learned about wifi sleep) then my battery life is beyond amazing. I have att and dont know who you have but if its ATT your prob screwed cuase their service SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.
try turning off your data in a bad service area you might be in for extended times and see if that helps.
also in my opinion the best rom for battery is just stock. you can use root apps to get almost all the same effects as most roms but stock has the best stability and life. Next would prob be SuperOSR to me. Another good tip i have started to do is whenever i change the rom it seems i have to drain out the batt fully then wipe batt stats and charge again. could be in my head but it helps alot.
Juice defended is worthless. Take the time to read the rom, kernel, and root guide in the development section...... you can learn alot from reading.

I get when people say to read the tuts to people but even then its good to ask a few questions. Sometimes its difficult to jump into reading a tutorial and the terminology used and asking a few questions can really give you a jump start.
I used the tutorial and bricked my phone for 2 days before i figured out what i did wrong. If i asked a few questions first i could have prob avoided it. if people dont ask questions what the point of a Q&A forum?

Have you tried a clean rom (factory reset before flashing and no other apps, except the preinstalled at the rom)? Is it there also present?
If no, track the app down that consumes the battery with battery widget or something similar.
If yes, ask at the given rom thread. Maybe the dev can give you a hint.

Hi!
I'm having quite the same problem with same rom on my desire s.

I'm not using any kind of oc program or similiar...
Still have 100% battery charged to 90 % with wifi on and sent a couple of sms...4 hours in standby (wifi on / auto sinc off) and down from 90% to 40%...

Hmmm, I'm using Hyperion myself - no issues here.

Battery seems normal, last me a day and a half moderate use. I suspect you may have a rouge app installed, sucking away at the battery...
Try a factory reset, and see whether that helps.

I'm doing a back up in this moment and i will try another factory reset...
So I'd say after factory reset and clean install Charge battery to 100% and then Re-calibrate battery.
Don't be tempted to install any applications, run the ROM for a day or two and note the battery consumption (by using the app Battery Monitor Widget)
You need to be sensible about the amount and frequency of the data sync'ing that you are doing.
If the consumption is still high try to update the RADIO.

Battery life will never be something someone can tell you is "good" as it all varies by individual, phone, kernel, running processes, apps, etc.
I don't really know now to answer your question. It's all opinion which is "better".
That's what nandroids are for. Flash both and see which one works for you.

I have tried ever ROM out there except CleanROM which I haven't gotten to yet (I was out of the country for the last week & didn't want to take a chance on breaking my phone)
I keep returning every single time to my current totally debloated root66 ROM setup. With that setup, there are no bugs or issues at all, the battery life is just as good as any other ROM & it's fast as hell.

No.
Backup FIRST, then you can wipe and install a new ROM. Then back that ROM up, wipe, install new ROM, repeat.
There are stickies around here that will help.

They both good roms but "Clean rom" and "Clean kernel" are the most stable with excellent performance/battery and the most bug free rom (very close to stock and very clean). Also Clean kernel comes with OC and UV.

On synergy I had a lot of FC errors and my wifi would randomly drop. I haven't read anything of others having that issue on the forums but each new release I would flash that. I guess I was just more used to Beans, although I loved the amount of customization and theme options of synergy. Also the fast charge option that came with the kernel built into build 9 of beans was a big plus.
I'll promote synergy
Started off with earlier versions of bean
Loved the 50gb Dropbox but have found synergy to be phenomenal
Plus they've added a feature where they back up your imei when flashing the rom, jury's still out on whether it's 100 percent effective in restoring imei without the roaming problem

Theres a thread in development that allows you to do the same exact thing synergy does. So that feature can be used by anyone, on any rom.

Battery issues after rooting.

Hi I am a total newbie in android and rooting. So a few months age I rooted my s2 using an insecure rom 4.0.4 bvlph. afrer a few my phone started turning itself off even when battery is near 100 percent . when i turned the phone on again it started saying low battery. This kept happening a lot and it has now come to a situation where i can not use the phone for more than an hour doing anything. I have attachdd a picture which shows the battery drain and how quickly it happens. I have also attached a picture which describes my phones details. I was suggested XDA by a friend and was hoping that someone can point me to the right direction.
Many thanks for your help.

It looks like that this rom Network and Wifi is eating up your battery the most. I would say its cause that your network signal is poor and your phone keeps searching for a good signal and that is using up your battery. You can try flashing a new rom as well as getting a new card (transfer the number to a new sim card).

[Q] wipe battery stats after two months

I want to wipe battery stats in clockwork mod on lg p500 on cm10 4.1.2 unofficial can I do it safely even though I flashed the ROM back in march? does doing this delete any data? I want to wipe battery stats for better battery life. thank you
That wipe battery stats is a placebo in the recovery
If you want to calibrate your battery search battery calibration app on play store
Either ways none of your data will be lost or deleted
