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

Hey all,
I'm on Nero 5 with my Vibrant and was having some pretty dismal battery life, so I emptied the battery and charged it back up. Only problem is, its been plugged in for 9 hours now, and the battery isn't fully charged (the phone is off). I booted into clockwork and wiped battery stats and restarted the phone, says 99 percent in Android. I powered off and did a battery pull, and now it's off and (still) charging.
Any reason why this happens or how I can fix it?
Im having a similar problem. When I fully charge my phone it will tell me its 100% till I unplug it and it will only show 97%. I can keep it plugged in for an hour after and it will still say 97%. I did a few battery wipes and still the same. I just recently flashed bionix v and then the dragon kernal and that's when it started. So I would also like some input on these small issues

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.
Has anyone run across this? Lately when using Battery Calibration app, as soon as I unplug from charger I drop from 100 to 96...( happens frequently now) is this just a sign my battery is getting weak?

Nope - that's actually the correct behavior for a well-calibrated and healthy battery. When you charge your phone disconnects the current when the battery is full, and for the next half hour or so it reads 100% but the battery is slowly discharging. This protocol preserves battery longevity. After a while it will top the battery off again. Long story short, 96% charge shortly after unplugging is perfectly normal.

thats funny, my device stays at 100 percent after I unplug it from the charger, then discharges normally. It never drops to 96%, sounds more like a kernel issue to me.

When still running Froyo my Fascinate always displayed 96%-100% upon disconnection after full charge, even if left overnight. After update to GB, the longer it remains on charger after reaching 100%, the lower it drops after disconnecting. Sometimes it's dropped from 100% to 76% as soon as charger is unplugged, if left on charger for too long.
I was informed on another forum that there's trouble with the trickle charge function on GB and it's likely not to be corrected.
Just thought I'd pass that on, for what it's worth.
the battery does that on purpose so it doesn't overcharge and decrease battery life.
in other news, google android people have said more than once that battery calibration does nothing, wiping battery stats will not help anything at all.

I normally Charge it while Battery Calibration is running, then when it hits 100%, I power off the phone and let it finish charging with the power off then onces its "Truly" fully charged I turn the phone back on get into Battery Calibration then press the calibrate button
What's the general consensus on this i.e. Google engineer basically debunking the necessity or benefits of calibrating one's battery?

My DX2 suddenly sucks for battery life. This morning I took it off ther charger at 100% and used it for 20 minutes looking at twitter. I got the 15% remaining message and 2 minutes later I get the 5% message and it immediately shuts down. I go to plug it in and the larger battery graphic comes up (the one it shows when you are charging it while it's off). And it says 80%. So I unplug it and turn it back on. Once it went through it's boot up and aquired signal and all that, my battery widget shows 50%. I plugged the charger back in and in about 10 minutes, it said 60%.
A couple days ago, I left the house with 90% and turned on GPS and navigation. I got 8 miles from my house and it shut down due to dead battery.
Is the battery going bad or is the phone going bad that it can't read the battery?
Whenever I check the battery usage, it either shows DISPLAY or IDLE as the number one battery user.
What are you running for a ROM?

Sounds like a battery issue or defect in the phone somewhere. Or, it could be a very old custom rom but you haven't answered that yet so not sure.

No ROM. Bone stock
Sounds like a dead battery to me. If you know anyone with another X2 or a Droid X (same exact battery) try swapping. If you continue to face the issue it is a defective phone. It someone else's battery seems fine it's a defective battery.

SO the original battery is about 1.5 years old. My phone started dying at strange times and refusing to power on, or dropping from 80% to 10% if it powered on again.
Right now there seems to be a charge in the battery but I can't get the phone to power on at all.
The spare battery seems to work so it is some battery issue, but is it dead or can I revive it or another 6 months?
Everything you've said points to a battery on the way out, and the length of time you've had it does as well. Constantly discharging/charging a battery for 18 mths, gradually reduces the life/reliability of the battery.
Buy a new one/use your spare.
So I managed to get it working again. I tricked it by connecting a extra small battery at the same time. After powering on and disconnecting it three phone seemed to recognize the that there was a battery again 2% charged. I charged the battery with phone off. When I powered in the phone said 12% and I charged it again powered on. It's been holding up for 2 hours of use at 86%. I guess I will just have tip wait and see.

Could be battery calibration problems... Try to calibrate it. And a lithium ion battery life is expected to be 1-2 years.
