[Q] Why does it show Li-ion for battery - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to find out system information and I used a couple of apps like CpuZ, status report and a few more from playstore, all of them show the Battery as Li-ion instead of Li-po.
This isn't a problem or an issue at all, but I was wondering as to why the battery technology is detected wrong.
I tried this on stock firmware and I'm currently on a custom rom running cm12 nightlies

There's nothing wrong with it showing as lithium ion. It's just a general term.

I agree, isn't a Li-Po just a derivative of the Li-Ion anyways.

Battery monitor widget pro

they work in some sense but also dont in another lol.
ICS is pretty efficient i dont feel the need for one. however they work if u want it to monitor consumption in more detail.... but thus meaning the app is always running - so using more battery.
i wouldnt use them permanently - maybe for a few days to find a source of battery drain.
Well I usually have CurrentWidget with me, just to check if something strange is happening with my mA consume... but for battery drain I've tried many and none worked, just follow some tutorials on this forum about Battery, they help more than any app to improve your battery life

You need to install a better app. The Android built in power usage thing is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and better battery stats isn't much better.
Try system panel from Play, you will need the paid version from here. Put it in monitoring mode and leave it for a few hours.
You will be able to see what is chewing CPU then, and that is invariably the thing that is causing the drain. It very rarely fails to assist me with diagnosis of an obscure drain issue.
Ok..just bought system panel app.will update about this crazy battery drain later..
Thanks thalamus..

Cool, it's well worth the couple of dollars.
I've used it pretty much constantly in monitoring mode since they were in beta when I had my desire. So, probably not far off a couple of years usage with me.
It doesn't eat battery either, because it polls when the device wakes up for another reason.
And the thing which really makes it good for me, it records usage of the system tasks, such as kernel threads, which can be massively handy in diagnosing an issue.
Solved by flashing latest adamG ROM..
Thanks adam and thalamus..haha..enjoyed my nexus s back...:thumbup:

[Q] battery and cpu problems

Doing a check on wife's atrix2 bc her battery will drain very fast some times and other times not like 3 hours sitting on the table. i downloaded app OS Monitor to see if there was an app sucking the battery down. under message tab the cpu1: shutdown then cpu1:booted secondary processor it keeps repeating that over and over about every 10 seconds. has anyone seen that and is that something that would drain the battery very fast? any help would make my life better thanks
Install supercharged script will increase battery life!

Questions should be posted in the Q&A Section...
Sent from my rooted Mayan Calendar
First of Apex is correct, this should be in Q&A. But since it is asked, we'll try to answer.
A little more info about the phone would be helpful in getting an answer to you. Is your phone root? If so, is it running a custom ROM, and what mods have been done? Is it running ICS or GB?
A good app to find a battery drain is BetterBatteryStats.
I also second the SuperCharged script as a battery saver (in most cases). It is quite easy to setup once you understand how to do it. Also be sure to read all of the first two posts in the thread. You will need to be rooted to run the script.
Hope this helps and hope we can get you squared away.

Seeing as how you have OS Monitor installed to try and track down the cause for the drastic discharge in battery, I have to assume that your wife's Atrix 2 is not rooted, and you are likely on 2.3.6, since the only way you would be on ICS is by obtaining root access and flashing either of the two leaked versions of 4.0.4. That said, we need to know a little about the 'usage' of the battery that is causing the sudden discharge. If you can go and get a screen capture (with another camera phone or otherwise) and post the screen shot of the battery statistics from navigating to Settings or System Settings>Battery>and show what the linear graph can tell us about the usage of the battery. How long has this issue been occurring? If not long, comparatively to the length you've owned the device, I'd rule out hardware issues. Likely, you have a rogue app, or something else like a kernel or power wakelock that is causing constant drastic discharge rates. I've written up a rather extensive guide for getting the most out of your battery (as seen below in my signature), and you can have a look at that to see if any -or all- of those measures are helpful. It sounds like the battery itself could also be the culprit, but again, without further information to go off of, it's so hard to pinpoint...

[Q] New Battery and Flashing

Hello everyone and thanks to all the developers for the knowledge.
I've searched in the forum but still can't find the answer, so I have one question:
I bought a new battery, wich is still in the blister. I've already flashed my phone before (specifically Infuse 4g) with Custom Rooms, and had no problem.
My question is if it's good to use the new battery and flash the cellphone after charging it completely (i've read already battery university and pages like that for the health of the battery), or, if is it better to keep the actual battery, then flash, and then change the battery for the new one.
I know it's possible to re-calibrate the battery after flashing with programs, but I also believe that the first charge it's extremely important for the new one, and the stats for the previous one might affect the new one.
What would you recommend?
Thanks.
I think it's good to use the new battery and flash the cellphone after
charging it completely
You should def go ahead with the new battery.
There is nothing related with battery and flashing roms
Only sometimes you may get calibration problem which can be simply calibrating battery by using battery calibration app from playstore or deleting battery_stats.bin file

It doesn't really matter to much when you flash the rom, just i would clear the battery stats after you flash it just to be sure.

[HELP] Battery drain on Slimsaber

Hello,
I flashed Slimsaber rom a couple days to try and enjoy Lolipop (battery life was horrible for me on stock cm 12.1).
All in all, it's a great tool and I get good battery life.
However I noted that overnight there is this unknown (to me) am that eats my battery while the phone is not in use.
Couldn't find info on it, I'm guessing dire the it's name that made it quite a pain to research.
Any clue, help appreciated.
Screens attached
Edit: apparently can't add images, so in a bind here
App info :
Cancel
cyanogenmod.platform
/system/framework/org.cyanogenmod.platform-res.apk
version 5.1.1-4d2f613529
on a full cycle it uses up to 30% of the battery, more than the screen.
