Hi everyone,
Im running cherryblur 1.4d obviously rooted and unlocked. I've been running it like this for over a month now and its been great but a week ago my phone stopped charging up to 100% when I let it charge overnight. It reaches 90% and stops. I have a charger that charges the phone and an extra battery at the same time and it has worked great since I got it and the only way to get the batteries to go to 100 is to take the batteries out of the phone and put 5hem to charge in the battery slot. Please help me guys. Its not the battery because I have another battery and it won't charge fully either. I'm going crazy with this I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything
Charge your phone to its fullest capacity (I guess that would be ~90 for you)
Wipe battery stats in recovery, reboot.
Let the battery drain completely, until the atrix shuts off. Watch a bunch of videos or something.
Recharge back to full capacity, hopefully 100%

You might also want to try charging the battery with the phone switched off, when it reaches 100% remove the battery and wait for the no battery icon to appear on the screen. Then re-insert the battery and leave to charge for another hour or so.
After doing this, boot into CWM and clear the battery stats. This should fix your problem.

Mine won't charge to full unless I'm using the charger that came with it, ALL other chargers stop at 95-98%.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Make sure the other chargers are kicking out at least 700ma the moto charger kicks out 850ma.
Any less than 700ma and you'll not get a full charge, a lot of 3rd party chargers only 500ma which will not work too well.

^ This. Most people don't realize that they can't use just any charger with some phones, this phone being one of them. It requires a certain amount of juice running through it to charge properly, which is why if it's dead it won't charge from a USB port.

Thank you guys I'm in the process of trying the first suggestion I'll see if it charges fully tonight
Also if you are swapping batteries, the battery stats will continuously get messed up. It will be trying to configure the two as one and that could make this a reoccurring problem for you

Oh that could be it as well because the second battery I got drains quickly (or it shows that way) and spends the other half of the battery life (8~10hrs) at 1%
Ok guys turning it off and charging fully and then unplugging and plugging again, and wiping battery stats after worked perfectly. Thank you!
For anyone who has this problem you can wipe battery stats with the battery calibrator program or in CWM and then you must drain the battery after wiping the stats.
I flashed to the newest release of the Cyanogenmod beta two nights ago and my phone won't charge the battery to a full 100%... I've seen other people post this problem as well. Theirs may stay at like 60%, I saw one person post it won't charge past 19%, etc.
I don't want to flash the ROM again right now, so does anyone know any other fixes?
did you flash cm7 with a full battery? try letting the battery drain to the point that it wont turn on before charging. did you try deleting batterystats in recovery?

That was me who had the 60% battery problem. Here's how I fixed it.
1. Take the battery out of your phone
2. Plug your AC charger into the phone and wait until it gives you the missing battery icon.
3. Plug in your battery
4. Charge for 6 hours
5. Check on it again (it will probably still say 75% for you)
6. Reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
7. Viola you have a fully charged battery now.

I'd like to see if this works for you. Be sure to update.
No luck. Phones in charger battery will decrease and get hot.

Lol same thing happening to me too. This time with Darkside 2.5.1.
wont go past 86%... will try this out and update
Download BatteryCalibration from the android market and follow these steps:
1. Load the App.
2. Plug your phone on charge
3. Wait till your battery gets to its max whether it be 70% or wherever it stops.
4. Uncheck the option "calibrate when reaches 100%"
5. Click on Calibrate.
6. Click on Calibrate again (just for good measure) and if it says something like your phone is not supported or battery.dat is missing, then it means you did a good job.
7. Unplug your phone.
8 Drain your battery till 0% literally. (Switch wifi, gps, H+ on while playing Shadowgun....worked for me).
9. When your battery is dead, charge it again and it should reach 100%.
Did you wipe battery stats after the charge?

you can try jug6ernaut's battery fix it might not work since its not a jumping issue but it's the same in that it is not reporting the correct battery amount left

This worked for me, I might have to do it again or something though because now it stays at 96%, much better though. Thanks
About to give this a shot myself. My phone stayed stuck ~82%... couldn't figure out what the hell I messed up on it!
I think as a reminder/heads up, there should be a note on the different ROM threads OP's to tell people they should recalibrate their batteries after flashing a ROM... I had no idea.
Cheers!
Edit: works!

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,
Did you search this forum?

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

Hopefully I can state this in a way that doesn't scream "I don't know how to use teh search!"
I calibrated my battery stats using the free app on the market after flashing darkside. My phone used to charge to 100% on the indicator (4200+ mV). Now, a couple of weeks later, it charges to the same 4200-and-up charge but the meter tops out at 92%. Two days ago, it was topping out at 94%.
I've re-calibrated using the app, draining it down and charging fully up. Same result, 92% max.
I've wiped battery stats using CWM immediately after charging fully (verifying the charge is above 4200 mV). Rebooted. Still at 92%. Actually, now it's reporting 90% with 4128 mV.
so if wiping stats is a "useless operation", what gives? How is it possible that this method apparently fixed other users' miscalibrated battery meters stuck down around 30-40%?
Try this:
1. Charge as much as it will charge
2. Turn it off and take out the battery
3. While the battery is still out, plug it in and wait for it to show the battery image with the question mark
4. Put the battery back in (do not turn on yet) and let it charge for an hour
5. After an hour, turn it on, unplug, and report back
Note: On step #4 when you put the battery back in it will probably only show like 5% or 10%, just ignore that and let it charge

Bump charging now. Will report back in an hour
.... all right, got impatient. Pulled it just now; 99% on 4158 mV. That's better. Many thanks!
IT REALLY WORKS.........Thanks so much!
yes the above method Does work try it and it Will work for Ya

in cm7, charges to 98% normally, but sometimes takes hours to reach 100%.
I hope i'm not hijacking this thread, but since we are talking about mV i thought this might be a good place to ask....
I've been having problems with my battery levels for a while, i've tried all the voodoo to try and fix it but i can't get anything consistent.
here is what i get....
i have battery calibration app installed, sometimes it will read 4200mV and be 20% charged. Other times it will read 100% charged at 3700mV, it's all over the place, and trying all the suggestions to fix the battery life don't seem to fix it.
another thing i have is it will discharge from 100% to 5% within an hour but my mV will be at 3900+, then it will sit at 5% for another 8+ hours then the phone shuts off, so i plug it in and it says 5%, i let it charge for a minute or two and it's at 20%, i turn it on and it shows that it's above 3700 or 3800mV.
so the phone thinks it needs 3700+ mV to run, but not always, sometimes it will go down below 3600mV and still run
A couple questions
1. can someone post their mV reading at 5%, i'm guessing it should be about 3300
2. what is the max mV that you have....is it above 4200mV (mine never is)
FYI information i've tried fastboot -w, cwm battery wipe, deleting the battery stats file manually, even formatted /system and other file systems to make sure it was fresh

Ok,
I did this and my battery starts off at 100% and all appears to be fine. The next time I charge, it only shows 83% and it is reading 4200mV which should be a full charge. Do I have to do this each time? Is there any other solution? I am running CM7 stable and the battery is an aftermarket one. Could this be the issue? Thanks in advance all.

One trick I've found is unplugging the micro-USB and plugging it back in immediately. When I do this the 4200mV usually drops to the low 4100 range and the % continues to increase.
Only caveat is you'll have to keep doing this until it reaches 100. It takes a while since it seems to get re-stuck at every 1-2% intereval. A pain, but it's a work around from having to pull the battery. :silly:
I have the same issue too but DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO DO THIS METHODS? My battery level drops day by day (becomes %92 max) from %100.
I'd had the issues you explain for AGES.
I'd heard that buying a new battery wouldn't help. But I bought a new, official battery off eBay and I've not had the issue since. That was a couple of months ago now... not saying it will definitely work but at worst you have a spare battery...
What works for me... Charge up as much as possible, then use root explorer and go to data/battd/ and delete everything except the file "uid" then reboot... Should be good to go...
Hope this helps!

This definitely worked for me. I was having repeated issues that full charge/drain calibrations didn't fix. This did.
I had the same issues with charging it ,but i foudn out that the only failproof method of chargin it by using the oem ac adapter and the oem usb cable if you dont have the cable the nokia cables shoud do the trick but the samsung one does not work i dnno exactly why but i tested it myself.

Im unlocked rooted running wetdream. Ever since installing it, the battery indicator wont show charge beyond 95%. When charging with phone off, it reaches 100% but as soon as I power on, it only shows 95%. I've done battery cal app, let die completely twice, charge overnight, pull battery while still plugged in (which I never got missing battery notice for) and wiped battery stats in recovery. Is this something I just need to learn to live with or anyone have any other ideas? Btw, im loving nottachs wetdream rom. I know this has been posted elsewhere, I've tried all those tips. Just wondering if there are any new tried tips I can look into. Tia

No need of any app. Just drain the battery till it powers off. Full charge without switching it on. Should get the 100% bck.

I never had this on stock, but with the 10% changes in battery, would I have noticed.
When you are installing custom ROM, this is expected. You can try this,
Steps:
1. Drain your battery till gets shut off, then charge it till it says "Fully Charged" irrespective of 95% or 100%.
2. Once charged, Reboot the phone in recovery mode, keep the phone plugged into charger
3. Start it in Recovery mode using CMW, then remove battery stats
4. Switch off the phone
5. It show battery icon with %, with plugged in remove the battery
6. it will show missing battery icon, then insert the battery.. it will show 5% or 20%
7. Charge it for 3-4 hrs, then reboot the phone, you will see 100%
This Fixed for me...
Hi I've been using Neutrino for weeks and have not been able to get past 97pc battery using all techniques on xda. I finally fixed it yesterday when I installed clamsysns 1.5 kernel and charged over night and it was back to 100.

Just an update. I installed the newest version of wetdream yesterday. Got it to charge to 100% then thru resetting up phone and such, dropped to 18%. Recharged but didn't make it to 100% this time. Got to 95% but 4200mv, so I assumed full charge. At that time it was bedtime, so decided to just plug back into charger for the night. This morning it read 100% again. So its basically getting its full charge, just not showing all the time. A glitch I guess ill have to live with.
