When I used the firmware 2.3.26, my battery life is ~30% less than with the firmware 2.1.08.
And the battery only charges only to 97%.
So, I'm now using the 2.1.08.
Do you have the same problem?
And could a developer put the battery drivers (or whatever) from the 2.1.08 to the 2.3.26 firmware?

Hi guys,
I've let my archos 101 charging overnight a couple of times but it never reaches 100% (more like 95%)
Is this an overcharge protection or something? So would the device have charged to 100%, then stopped the charge and started discharging?
Cheers

It isn't an overcharge protection, it's a known issue since the firmware 2.3.20.
The battery doesn't load to 100% and the battery life is shorter.
That's the reason, why I did a downgrade to the firmware 2.1.08.
aha, that might explain why my battery life isn't as great as a lot of reviews show...
how can I downgrade? Is there loss of functionality when downgrading?
thx

For a downgrade, you have to follow this tutorial.
After the tutorial, download the 2.1.08 firmware here: Klick!
Then copy the file to your Archos and install the 2.1.08.
The only stupid is, that all your apps and saved files will be deleted, so you've to backup them.
The functionality is the same. The 2.1.08 firmware is more stable and the battery loads to 100%. The battery life is more than 30% better, I tested this on my Archos 70.
I recommend the permanent root (Klick!), because you can delete the Archos updater, so you don't see the notifications of an update to 2.3.26.
how bout installing urukdroid? would this solve this issue as well?
Anyone notice if theres an improvements, or worse, decreases in battery life
I feel its a bit worse, i'm at 7 hour usage and down to 20% already, have nothing to compare too however, so was hoping someone else was monitoring battery performance in 2.3.4 compared to stock
Thanks
i feel the battery life is pretty good considering im a very heavy user! took it of the charger at 8 this morning, its 4pm now and ive been on it all day and im down to 40 percent! if it was on 2.2 it be dead already! just my observation
you need to calibrate the battery.
download battery calibrate by Nema from market.
put phone for charging on wall plug.
wait until it reached 4200mV.
do not unplug the charger.
Hit calibrate.
Done..!!
unplug the charger.
Root required.
Hi,
I have OrangeFR in my mobile, but I have 10% battery issue. Somebody get resolve this issue to 1% increment battery in OrangeFR?
Hi there,
maybe this is a stupid question, but last night I updated (via Kies) to 2.3.4. While the instructions in Kies said that I should do this with a fully loaded battery, I did it with 60% charge.
Now my question is, if this will have an effect of the calibration of the battery. Are the battery stats reset when a new Android version is updated? And will the battery stats now think that 60 % is 100%?
No they are not recalibrated .Calibration takes a few days .

The answer is: NO
No recalibration process takes place after regular Kies update. And you don't need to to update with fully loaded battery. Theoretically it is sufficient to have enough power for >30 minutes of operation.
make sure if you want to calibrate a battery to leave it to the max and dont discharge it during the charge....and when leaving it to drain do it again without reboots or interuptions....and always do that a few charging cycles and you be good to go...
just answering the calibration part
I flashed a pre-rooted zip to update to 5.0.2, and I find Android OS and cell standby drain my battery. They consume over 60% of power in total. And the temperature of my phone is higher than on stock 4.4.4. Sometimes it is about 45 degrees centigrade when I am just surfing the Net. I always use proxy apps because I'm in China. At first I used fqrouter and now I use shadowsocks. It is said shadowsocks consumes little power, but it uses 60-70% of power on my phone. And someone says flashing an ftf and rooting it fix the battery drain. So what can I do to save my battery?
