hey everyone,
does anyone know if there is an app out there that will log the percentage of your battery, what time that % occurred, and maybe even how time between readings (like x minutes past from 90% to 80%)?
i am having some drainage issues and don't know where it is coming from. spare parts isn't that useful. it's probably some of my widgets, but i am seeing some usual drain recently with very little usage from my phone.
thanks!

Try that app it seems to do what you want.
thanks. i will check this out. i have been having strange drain. one night, my phone my phone drained hard and was pretty warm for it doing nothing. another night, it would drain only a few percent.
That app will do just what you want.

i have a htc sensation xe with beats audio
phone is rooted and flashed with OrDroid 4.0 Ics 4.0 Sense... before i also tried ARHD... bricked kernel...
Stock battery
i have this very weird problem..
my phone has inaccurate reading of the battery..
here are the issues:
1. the phone drains the battery by 2% each interval instead of 1%.. I mean its like, 100%,98%,96%,95%,94%,92%,90%
2. the phone lasts longer on the terminal part of the battery.. its like its the longest 3% of the phone's battery life!
3. whenever the phone is drained, and if i insert a charger, it will have inaccurate battery level reading.. here is an example:
my phone is at 9% of its battery life... i plug the charger to the phone.. it will charge.. after charging for around 2 hours it will show that the battery is at 57%... i plug the charger out.. restart the phone and bam! the battery will be at 100% or 99%.. i mean, its annoying.. i have to restart the phone everyday so that i can get an accurate reading of the phone's battery..
anyway...
i am done recalibrating the phone.. ive done this 3 times now...
and i also did every method for recalibrating the phone..
ive also done this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1558140&page=5
the smali editting thingy..
and ive also done placing a small business card on the battery to push the battery closer to the pins..
the only one i havent tried is to buy a new battery which is expensive! i dont believe the problem is in the battery though.. i think its in the firmware or something... i dont know.. anyway.. can anyone help me on this one??

Did you try wiping the battery stats from recovery ?
[EDIT] I just discovered that wipind battery stats doesnt improve or solve battery problems ! sorry for the post !

I got the exact Same Problem. I bought a Used Sensation a few days ago. I will receive the Anker battery tomorrow, i hope that fixes the issue.

From what I can understand you don't have any problem at all. The same think happens to me. Whenever I reboot the phone it will show at first more charge than it has, but after a few minutes it will go to where it was. Don't worry about percentage drops or increments, if your battery lasts as it should. I myself thought that battery calibration way essential after flashing, etc, etc. But now I am convinces that it has nothing to do with battery life.
Just IGNORE the percentage and enjoy your phone

hey can u update me if replacing the phone's battery solved the issue?? if it solved it then i guess i'd buy mine a new one too..
Hi there, as above poster said I'm not sure this is really a problem. Mine also does this say I'm on 95% then when I reboot it will say 100% for a bit then go back to 95% the true percentage. So what I'm saying is sometimes after reboot an inaccurate percentage will show for a time then it will catch up and show the correct percentage. It will happen with a new battery as well this is just how our device works. I recently purchased a new mugen 3500mah battery and after reboot I still get the same issue. It's not really a problem it's just the device catching up with the accurate battery percentage. As for the two percent increments, my device does not do that.. not sure why it's draining at 2% increments unless this is just how much your device drains for a specific amount of time. Perhaps your battery is draining At 2% increments because this is your consumption.? I really wouldn't worry too much unless it's jumping increments without being rebooted, like going from 73% to 60% to 50% all in a matter of five minutes. If that's the case then I would become concerned and likely think it's time to purchase a new battery. But you are only draining at 2% increments and I really don't think it's cause for alarm. Do watch it closely and if the percentages start to jump and drain at bigger increments, then perhaps invest in a new battery. But for now I agree with above poster and really wouldn't be too concerned. As I said just keep an eye on it and if it gets worse as the example I said, then get yourself a new battery. Until then I think your ok for now. I hope this helps. I wish you the best!

Have ever tried letting your battery drain 100%. until the device shut's down. and then take the battery out for oh let's say 5 second's. And then put the battery back in hit the power button . If it powers on your battery isn't fully discharged .and if it is plug it in and let it charge to 100% just my two cent's but worth a try

well.. when i think i will observe the battery for a while.. but the problem is when i charge the phone it could only charge to 50-60% after 4 hours.. then after restarting the phone it will go to 100%.. i mean, that's a huge difference right?
Yes that's quite a difference. Have you cleared stats in recovery?

Lads it is an well documented HTC bug, you cant do anything about it....Flash CM9 or CM10 and your phone will read battery status prop. so have blast with phone wit or without sense

Hey realsis, read the link in my first post. ... I thought clearing battery stats will solve the problem related to battery troubles till I read that.

So i got the anker a few hours ago and the bug presists. i made full charge and calibrated the battery. it is still mostly discharging 2 % at a time and the phone stay a very long time on 100%.
Hi! So I've been using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 for about 3 weeks now and I'm very happy with it but I've noticed my battery has been really really bad! Here's a screen shot and this was on a full charge :\
I replied on the thread with the screen shot but no one answered.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
You need to check in better battery stats and see if your getting a wake lock. Read on google or xda how certain wakelocks can be bad. You can isolate the app causing the wake lock by using better battery stats and then fix the situation. Also could be the rom but likely it's a wakelock. Once you fix your issue, it will be much better. You can get better battery stats at the market or here on xda. Best wishes.

I'm having the same problem with the same ROM, I just installed a few hours ago.
18.18: 99%, stopped charging.
18.26: 89% battery left.
18.31: 84% battery left.
18.46: 72% battery left.
18.49: 70% battery left.
Until now I have used stock 4.0.3, and never experienced anything like this. I did barely touch my phone during these 30 minutes. It still has S-ON, could this be why?

No, S-ON/S-OFF has nothing to do with battery life. In your case though, since you said you just installed the ROM a few hours ago, you need to do about 3 full charge cycles before you start worrying about your battery life.
Drain the battery right down (not completely dead though, 10% is enough), charge to 100% and repeat a few times. Then if you are still getting bad battery life you can start looking at what is actually draining the battery.
Hi. I'm using htc sensation xe with viperS 1.4.1 rom. normally it took 2.5 hours to charge from 10-20% to 100%. but lately, (for about a month) it takes up to 4 or 5 hours to completely charge it. I bought a new battery and charger, but i can't feel any difference. i have some battery drain problems too, but it seems almost everyone has that! is there anything i can try? thanks.
For the battery drain problems you can get Better Battery Stats. This app will let you know if you are getting any Wake locks. Wake locks can be the biggest battery drain. If you are getting wake locks that app will help identify which app is causing the issue and you can delete it! You can get better battery stats here on xda, or even in the market. This will help your battery drain issue. About the charger, my charger takes around 4 to 5 hours to charge fully also. Never thought it was a issue.... I'm thinking it's normal, however I could be wrong. Best wishes.
