Hello,
I'm using wolfs rom experiencing battery drain and specially on wifi.
Can anyone let me know exact procedure for battery calibration? Why do we do it?
Why does it need calibrating?
Please kindly answer to my question
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Battery calibration is very easy. Just search for the "battery calibration" app in the android market. Download and install it, and it should have the instructions you need to follow in order to calibrate you battery.
Basically after flashing a new ROM you have to remove the old batterystats file left by the old ROM in order to re-calibrate you battery. By doing this your making sure your battery is calibrated to work with the new ROM and not the old one.
There is a manual method for battery calibration that can be found in another thread but basically its this:
Charge phone to 100%
Reboot into XRecovery and wipe battery stats
Press reboot, as soon as it turns off take out your battery
Leave the phone plugged in and replace the battery
If the phone doesnt reboot automatically, turn it on
It should read 88%, now charge back to 100%
Repeat this process until it reads 100% on reboot

So what exactly is the correct way to recondition your battery after installing a new rom? I have been following the Bionix version of recondition below
1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
But i see there is some discussion on the proper way, and this one ruining your battery life. What is the actual correct way then?
That's the method I used a few weeks ago. Can't say there was any noticeable improvement, but I've never read that it was the wrong way....

So in all essence... Dont do it! Haha then what is the point of wipe battery stats? Should i still at least wipe it at 100 percent after its charged, and then just use it normally.

The "point" of it is just to get the software to know the upper and lower limits of the battery to it can more accurately determine its current level. It learns the battery level and becomes more accurate over time, but many here flash new ROMs too frequently for it to get the chance. Just use your phone and don't worry about the battery, you will be fine. Leave it on all the time, even at night. Charge it when ever you are idle for any length of time and over night. You can not over charge it and it does not have a memory, but you can certainly shorten its lifespan by deep cycling it. If you think the battery meter is really way off what it should be then clear it first thing in the morning after it has been charging. Also, don't be surprised if you rarely or never see 100%. This is the normal way the charger keeps heat buildup from killing the battery. 97% to 99% after a charge is fine.
Thanks T313C0mun1s7, that's the most sensible advice about the battery I've read in awhile.
Hey all, I did a quick search but didn't find an obvious answer. I've tried quite a few GB Roma on my Thunderbolt and I know it's good to periodically reset battery data through ClockworkMod. I'm looking for a specific order of operations. The following is how I've been doing it. Charge fully, reboot into recovery. Unplug phone. Clear battery info. Shut down phone and plug in until fully charged. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Just download battery calibration from the market. Once your phone is fully charged, wipe battery stats in the application and then unplug your phone and let it die. Then charge your baby back up.
I believe that application won't let you wipe the battery stats until it's fully charged.

Battery Calibration app is the easiest way for clearing battery stats. I notice after after two days I see huge improvement in battery life. Remember after that first full charge and clearing the stats make sure you let your phone die.

Calibrate it using battery calibration from market, do wipe battery cache before you calibrate.
Fully discharge ur phone, Wipe ur battery cache, charge ur phone, let it alone till full, then calibrate it, use it till fully discharge, then fully charge again.
Sent from my SO-01C using XDA App
I think maybe you need to either re-calibrate battery...
or
Clear battery stats, then calibrate...
or
Re-flash, clear battery stats, then calibrate.
Good luck

I believe your phone problem is related to your battery and I think its gone bad. But before going for a replacement, try to see if any of your pals have X10 and try to replace their phone battery with your's.
Another thing is, if your phone is roooted (Which I believe yes), then reboot into xrecovery, and try to wipe the battery stats. After that once you reboot, see if your phone battery percent shows 88%. If yes, then wait for a few minutes, I would say atleast 30 minutes and see if the battery level is dropping down fast or its staying idle. If its dropping down, then charge it to 100 and then wipe the battery stats again and charge it again (repeat it for like 3 times max).
If its staying idle, then I guess your battery is perfectly normal, try reflashing the ROM... Good luck
Uh..
My phone always turned off when I touch/slide the battery (not took off of it)
Do I need to change the battery ?
Because it is already loosen?
Buy a new battery
Okay then
Thank you
Hi guys, when i try to charge my battery its stop charging with 90% and never goes beyond that. It starts to happen 2 weeks ago.
Any help would be great to fix it.
Thanks,

Boot into recovery, then go to advanced and reset battery stats, then reboot. Use your phone until the battery dies then fully recharge. If this doesn't fix the issue, you may have a bad battery.

Have you Tried to Recalibrate the Battery?
Sometimes the phone battery monitoring gets out of sync and the remedy is to recalibrate the battery.
You can either try one of the available apps in the Android Market or you can do some manual steps available online(just search for Android Battery Recalibration).
Here is one example, scroll down to Battery Calibration section: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-battery-life.2551/
I tried wiping the battery stats and calibrating as well but what worked for me was:
1. Charge for at least 4 hours to ensure a full charge
2. Unplug, turn off, and then pull the battery
3. While battery is out, plug charger back in and wait for the battery icon with the question mark.
4. Reinsert the battery (results will vary here, mine comes up as 5% for some reason)
5. Unplug the charger and then plug it back in, it should show as 100% now
6. Turn on while plugged in, wait until fully booted and then unplug from charger (it should read as 100% or 99%, depending on how your battery gauge works)
This is just what worked for me, I am running Navalynt's pi-crust (based on AT&T 4.5.91) so please be careful and research if there would be any issues with other ROMs

A little more info would be nice. What rom are you using? Do you have root permissions? Are you s-off?
The first solution is:
On OVO 3D sometime if battery is charged to 100% he starts to use battery power instead of charger so if the light is green you need just to connect the charger again and it will start to charge again.
And the second:
After you installed some kind of ROM you need to calibrate the battery again. You can do by discharging your phone to 3-5% and then charge it to the full. You need to repeat this process few time and then you have calibrated battery.
Sorry but i forget to say that before recharging you need to delete old Battery stats

The first thing is correct. When the phone is fully charged the charging stops and the phone uses power from the battery.
As for your second statement - you are partly right. Even though most developers say the same thing you said I found the battery calibration is the best way to get the most from your battery. I tried everything that developers suggested and it didn´t work so well. Battery calibration did the trick - now my battery life is great
Anker batteries seem to work the best
Hey. Thanks for the replies. I'm using the 4EXT recovery and KingCobra3D - ICS 1.6 ROM. The thing is that my phone doesn't even charge up to 100%. Is it necessary to discharge the phone to 1-5% and then charge it to full and then calibrate via recovery or can I just calibrate the battery without having to discharge it first?
Also, I have root on my phone and S-ON.
My anker battery has reported like 4000 charge since I got it and I tried using the calibrate app but it still reports the same after a few cycles? It should be reporting 1900.

If you don´t use battery calibration you should go into recovery and wipe battery stats. Then boot up and fully charge the phone and let it discharge to 5-15%. Charge it to full and that should be it.
If you use battery calibration just charge to full, enter calibration app, hit calibrate and that is it

Okay the phone charged up to 100% but it took ages. I've downloaded the Battery Calibration app from the Market and hopefully everything's gonna be well now.
I have battery life issue too. I will try battery calibration.
