[Q] Battery Issue - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let me explain what recently happenned. My battery had died down to 10% so I plugged it in with the AC adapter and then turned my phone off. When the battery screen displayed my battery was at 40%. I let that charge to 50% and then I turned my phone on again and it showed 70%. That doesn't seem normal to me. Any ideas? Thanks.

Did you try for juggernauts battery fix? This worked for me, you can flash Alien rom v3 also has it built in. Works like a charm.

I'll try that out and get back to you. Thanks!

That seemed to do it! Thanks!

[Q] Atrix not charging from wall or pc

So my Atrix is not charging at all, regardless of whether it's connected to the computer via usb or to a wall outlet via the motorola charger. It's currently at around 20% battery so it will still boot and stuff.
Here's where it gets interesting: After it's powered down, if I connect it to either the wall or usb, the green light comes on for 2 seconds and the it boots up. After it turns on, the light goes off and it no longer recognizes that it should be charging. If I take the battery out and connect the phone to a power source, the green light comes on and stays on. I'm running gingerblur RC1 if it matters.
Has anyone run into this before?
Are you tried this how to? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198333
The problem doesn't seem to be the battery life; the phone literally doesn't recognize that it should be charging, regardless of whether plugged into the wall or a computer. I've left it powered down until I can get an external battery charger (the battery is about 20% and I'm afraid I'll brick it if it gets to 0)

Same problem here as well. Atrix won't charge.
I left it on the charger overnight and I woke up to a 97% charge, which is weird cause it usually goes to 100 way before I wake up.
I unplugged the charger, and plugged it back in, but the phone isn't charging.
I'm going for a factory reset, to see if it helps. I'm using Neutrino ROM for atrix.

Hey, I actually decided to go for a "Wipe battery stats" under "Advanced" on clockworkmod recovery. I had a 95% charge when I shut it down, wiped battery stats, and the phone booted with 93% battery. I plugged it into the charger, and now it's charging again.
Will let you know in case it doesn't go to 100%. It's interesting to note that this issue happened after I let my atrix go below 10% battery for the first time. I'm not sure if it's related. Weird issue..

Battery Charging Issue

I don't know if some of you have the same experience but here is my issue:
I usually charge my phone when I go to bed at night and unplug it in the morning. In the recent a few days, I woke up and found out my GS3 is 99% charged and battery status is still charging after an overnight. I have the Battery Indicator Pro app on it and it keeps the log of all the changes of the battery, so I went to the log and saw that the battery was full charged at e.g. 5:32AM at 100% and CHARGING status, then at 6:15AM it was 99% and CHARGING. So I turned off the phone, and leave it charging when its off and turned it back on after 15 minutes, after a while it showed as FULLY CHARGED at 100% .
I think it was very interesting and would like to know if it's the battery problem or the phone problem, if there is anyone have the same issue.
THANKS!!

I've had the same problem with taking my phone off the charger and found bump charging helps (remove the phone when at 100%, let it drop and then re-plug it in).
As for not charging to 100%, is there something keeping it awake? background process? Screen not shutting off? Sounds like something is keeping the phone from a sleep cycle.

My friend with a nexus s tells me that his phone fully charges at 96% so it saves that battery from over charging. idk if thats whats happening here.

Charging Problem

I got a Huawei Fusion 2 off ebay last week used for 50 bucks I can tell it wasn't someones ''used'' phone if you know what I mean.
The phones works pretty good I'm happy with it. I have it rooted and I have CMW installed on it. But I'm having a problem with my battery and the battery percentage. when I boot it up with the charger or USB plugged in my battery drops very bad. I just turned it off at 55% and then turned it back on with the charger in it and now it's at 5% This is wired I don't know what could be going on? I checked the pins and everything. I already re installed cynogenmod I thought maybe it was a bug or something that didn't fix it. should I get a new battery? The first 5 days of having it the battery was FINE and now it's doing this to me.

[Q] Battery problem

I've been having a really strange battery problem. I will have between 50% to 80% battery life. I will open facebook, either the app or through the browser, scroll down post for 1 to 2 minutes. Phone will say "You are now on emergency power please plug in to charge phone immediately", and then the phone will shut down. I plug in to charger I will be at 8% to 12% and charging. Leave on charger for 5 minutes will be up to about 16%, disconnect charger and reboot, phone will reboot and be back at 60% to 70%. Last night it would do nothing when I put on charger. Pulled battery, and rebooted, back to 70%. I'm unlocked, rooted, s-off, running Tachyon 1.2, I have the extended battery. Any ideas on what is causing this?

I could be that your battery is just shot. The first thing I would try is resetting the battery stats with an app like Battery Calibration and see if that helps. Other than that, try a Sense Rom and see if it correctly reads the battery stats. If that doesn't work, try a different battery.
Thanks, I tried the battery calibration last night, seems like it has made a difference so far, My battery is also getting some age on it, so I'm going to get a new one, just in case.

Phone starts charging from 20%

So when i plug my phone into charger after fully consuming my battery. The phone starts charging from straight 20/30%. Even though I made sure I plugged my phone with 0% battery. Can someone please help me out?

Always charge your phone when it falls to about 20%.
Never let your battery fall to 0%. It ruins your battery.

I know those tips and tricks but it was for test purpose. I usually don't let my phone go below 20% before charging.
