For the past four or five days my Thunderbolt has been charging at an incredibly slow pace. For example, I've had the phone on the charger for 13 hours now and i've gone from 40% to 91%. I have the extended battery, but it usually only takes about 3-4 hours to charge from zero to 100%.
I recently put the new gingeritis ROM on the phone. It charged fine the first couple times after that but then I started having this problem. Is it the ROM, the battery, or the phone?
Has anyone else had this issue?

I would say search but......
It's known. Reboot while on the charger.
das BAMF sense 3.0 rocking the bolt
Tried multiple reboots on charger. I did a bunch of searches but didn't find anything Thunderbolt specific and non concrete answers on what causes this.

I have been told it is to do with the kernal. Was told to charge full and while still on the charger go in the toolkit and refresh battery stats and then reboot. I just did it this morning so I have no idea if it will help but this is what I was told to do.
I have been on Gingeritis 1.0 with the 2.5 radio for a week now, and the past 3 days have been seeing the same thing. Charging takes several hours with the standard battery now. Last night I put it on at 3:30PM, at 40% on a standard battery. At 9:00pm, it was at 94% and still charging.
It was faster charging last week. Going to try a battery wipe.
Thanks for the responses. I'm still at 91%, but I'll try to wipe the battery stats when it finally gets to 100%.
Maybe I'm missing something, but gingeritis doesn't have a toolkit like BAMF, right? I'll have to do it through CM.
Thanks again.

My mistake, I assumed you were on bamf. I think you can still do this by going into your normal phone settings with your battery info. That I'm not 100% sure on though
Download Battery Calibration NeMa from market, it wipes stats without going into recovery

OK. So I tried wiping the battery stats. My phone got to 99% charged and stuck there for an hour so I restarted into CM and wiped the battery stats.... Still slow charging. So the next day I let it sit on the charger for 20 hours until it finally got to 100% and I wiped the battery stats again. Still not fixed. Just took the phone off a 7 hour charge and it went from 24% to 68%.
I'm wondering if it's the ROM I'm using (gingeritis 1.0). I'm going to charge this thing up again all day today and then flash a new ROM. I hate doing that since it takes some much time to set up my phone after a wipe, so if anyone has any other suggestions I'm ready to hear them.
Let's trubleshoot this. Anyone else who is having the same problem post your ROM and if you're using the extended battery. I'm on gingeritis 1.0 using the extended battery.
Try an updated Kernal.
The latest Imoseyon are supposed to fix the slow charging.
Have you tried bump charging? Let battery drop to 5% then put on charger. Once 100%, unplug and turn phone off and put back on charger whole it is off.
Updated the kernel and put it back on the charger. I've gained 25% in the last hour which is back to normal. Thanks!

As stated previously you should update the kernel. The newest IMO fixed it for me.

Restart then charge or get the new isoman kernel.
I have been using cm 7 since prebeta #2
I have an AT&T Atrix. I don't experience any battery issues, however since installing CM7 my phone fully charged at 99%.. then 98%.. now 96% and will not charge to 100%. I've completely drained the battery, to 1% turned the phone on, fully charged to 96% and wipes battery stats, is my battery dying? I had a similiar issue ALONG time ago with my HTC G1, and eventually my battery would only hold a charge for a few minutes and had swolen up and looked as if it were going to explode lol.
Any opinions/advice?
Thank you

I was installing zeam launcher and my phone froze, so I rebooted my phone and my battery was at 60 percent but when I started it up I only have 26 percent. What should I do,I tried piling the battery but it stills show 26 percent.

That's weird. I have had that exact same problem two other times on two different roms. I continued using the phone heavily throughout the rest of the day and the battery dropped to about 15% and stayed there for a couple of hours of use, then began dropping again normally afterwards. After draining all the way and recharging, everything was normal again.
On a side note, I switch batteries a lot and charge on external chargers.
Yeah its really weird. I had this same problem on the infuse but with that phone all I had to do was restart the phone...

Did you flash a new rom? Maybe try a battery calibration? Hopfuly nothing is wrong with the battery itself.
Are you rootd? Did u try wiping battery stats in cwm?
It's been found wiping battery stats usually causes battery read issues. Best to leave alone.

I am running liberty rom and just recently un-v6 supercharged my phone and switched to ADW launcher from Launcher Pro now my battery percentage is jumping all over the place. I had my phone charging and it went from 46% to fully charged in about 5 minutes after being on the charger for about 2 hours. I did the gingerbread battery fix a while back and it was working great.... any ideas? Wipe battery stats? I've done a battery calibration also with no results
Alas, this is a common problem that we've had since 2.3.4. There doesn't seem to be any real fix for it. I've run a few battery calibration scripts to no avail. Just something we have to deal with unfortunately.

After I installed beans14 my phone was charging extremely slow, and by slow I mean I left it on the charger when I went to bed and woke up five hours later I had only gained about 50% charge. That was about a week ago and my phone hasn't started charging normally again. And now it's to the point of discharging even while it's on the charger. When I check gsam it shows the OS as one of the biggest draws on the battery. Also the gallery is usually 5% of the draw as well even though I never use it since I have quick pic. Here is a screen shot of what gsam shows Atm. And I am now on the t-mobile tweaked Verizon rom

Reflash? That's an odd issue buddy
