about an hour ago my battery was displaying around 80% and then after picking it up to send a text, it jumped up to 99 and after about 20 minutes it bumped down to 98 and then later to 97.
Tried a reboot and still popped up as 97. and did a battery pull and still 97. I looked at my battery info and im at 4.016Volts and its showing 97%. i cant remember if this sounds right or not. turned on GPS, bluetooth, and wifi and was able have it drop to 96
I wiped batt stat and shes sitting at 95 now. my hands are up in the air, maybe i found the magic battery
What rom are you on? If I'm not mistaken the photon battery shows battery drops in 10% increments not 1%. Try charging to full with phone plugged in, get battery calibration from market, and calibrate it see if that works.

runnin cybik's CM7 with Jokers CM7 kernel. i did do stress tests on the CPU yesterday evening and then a battery test, so maybe she got a little confused. ay 95% right now and battery info says 3.874Volts. im thinking 3.8 range should be more in the 70% range not 90.
Edit: now its at 94% but jumped up to 3.967Volts. very odd

I don't think the cm7 photon rom reads the battery stats correctly. I'd actually disable that if I were you. I'm referring to the percent mod in the battery icon if that's what's bothering you or in cm7 settings. To measure battery stats correctly try downloading "battery monitor widget" (free) from market and it will give you correct temps, volts etc. Then again my theory could be completely wrong about this whole 10% to 1% deal but worth a shot.

i have "battery Left" installed and its displaying the same as my CM7 system battery display. I downloaded the app you suggested and its displaying the same % and voltages. good looking app too.
I turned on wifi and streaming pandora to see what a drain would do to it and it seems to be dropping as normal. apparently a giant wireless charger must have rolled over the roof of my office and charged my phone for me lol. im not too worried about it, just never seen anything like this before. time will tell. im gonna let it drain till shutoff and see what happens after a full charger, will take a while to drain this sucker.
I have had the same confusing problems running the same rom and kernel.

Has anybody had luck resetting battery stats with CWM?
Its just an issue with battery stats. Download battery calibration and run it at 100% and see if it still happens

I am using CM7.1 Weekly #4 and i am unable to charge it to full 100%. the best i can get is 95% and it says battery full on lock screen. i don't know how battery percentage works in CM7, battery life is awesome so can any one help me how to get back to 100% charging like stock rom.
If you just flashed the rom then it could take a couple charge cycles for it to work itself out. Another "trick" I've read about is to:
1. Turn off the phone and take the battery out
2. Plug it in while the battery is still out and still turned off
3. Wait for it to display the "battery logo", it should have a question mark in it
4. Put the battery back in, still leaving it turned off, and wait for it to recognize the battery
5. At this point it might only show like 5% or 10% charge, don't worry about that, just let it sit on the charger for about 30 minutes to an hour while leaving it still turned off
6. After waiting, turn it on while plugged in and wait for it to boot and then unplug
From my understanding, this is a method to "bump charge" it.
Also, try using search next time instead of starting a new thread.

yes i am aware of that method, i think this method is only if ur facing bad battery. i am having gr8 battery just wrong percentages that's all.
Any idea what can cause this? Can it be a battery losing capacity? Something wrong with ROM?
I'm using a Darkside rom and i have wiped battery stats.
Ill post this in the ROM thread as well.

I had 86% problem.
This is what I did and it helped:
1. Install BatteryCalibration (free on the Market)
2. Charge the battery up to it's maximum
3. Use Battery Calibration app
4. Discharge til it dies
5. Charge it and enjoy your 100% full battery.
I'm not sure if steps 1-3 are actually necessary. I've also learnt that even that it showed 86% it was full to maximum capacity. BatteryCalibration app showed that 86% was 4200mV which is maximum for this battery, exactly the same I have now with 100%.
Charge your phone overnight to make sure the battery has met its capacity
Pull battery out while charger is still plugged in to your phone.
Wait for missing battery logo.
Put battery back in. the phone will show that is charging around 5% maybe more. Let it stay there for about and hour then put battery back in and boot up.
Should be at 100%

I had this same problem and none of the methods worked.
I just let me phone die. 0% and once it died, i plugged my phone in. It turned on. I turned it off again but the phone automatically turns back on to charge. Let it sit there til 100%
its disturbing how the atrix has this issue with the battery stats.
does any other android phone have this? Atrix is my first
kill it fully, then leave it on charge overnight (with power off).
if it doesnt work, do it again
cheers.

It's not the atrix, it's the rom. (unless you guys are using the stock rom, in which case I could be wrong) I had this problem with another android phone (moto droid original) because I was a noob and flashed a rom with the battery not at 100% and with the usb cable plugged into the phone and my computer. Don't do that BTW. When you flash a rom always have 99 or 100% charge and dont leave it plugged in while flashing.
On another note, when I went to Mexico for a mission trip for some reason my battery wouldn't charge past 90% or so while I was there. It was strange. No problems when I got back to the states. Strange eh?
Hello All!
I have found fix for the battery problem for EU users (I have EU phone probably will work for ATT as Faux kernel is unified and rom is based on ATT...).
After flashing Darkside rom, you have to boot once your ATRIX.
Then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1156040
Download one of this kernels: [<{ OLYGB_U4_5.9.1 (ATT, INTL Unified) }>]
[ Overclock Kernel, Max @ 1.3 GHz ]
The CWM File ==> Unified GB Kernel Version 023 @ 1.3 GHz <==
md5sum ==> <==
[ Enhanced Stock Kernel, Max @ 1.0 GHz ]
The CWM File ==> Unified GB Kernel Version 023 @ 1.0 GHz <==
md5sum ==> <==
I do not suggest Kernel 1,45 Ghz as with my tests the battery life was significantly shorter and I had some reboots of my phone.
Flash it with recovery.
It is done. Now you will have to plug your phone to the charger and be happy about 100% battery
After installing new kernel power consumption has been reduced dramatically. In my opinion problem with charging up to 100% was caused by enourmous power consumption. My atrix was hot even on idle and now it is not.

This usually works for me too!
I had the same problem, I found out, that it would show full battery it I reflashed my from
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!

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.

I've bought a new legit/official (has holo, serials etc.) Atrix battery.
Charged it to 100%.
During usage, its draining literally 10% an hour with very light usage (several minutes an hour). In short its draining at three times the speed of my 1 year old battery.
I've tried wiping battery stats but that didn't work.
Any ideas, or is the stats just buggered and I just gotta run it in? (ie it will go to zero then sit on zero for 5-6 hours lol)
note I've gone back to my original battery in meantime rofl
EDIT: The actual problem is that the batt is reporting much less capacity than it actually has
|The new battery is great capacity wise lasts till midnight
However the stats are still totally screwed, it will say 1% by midday, then hum along until midnight fixed at 1% (I dunno exactly how long for as I can't take the risk of leaving it off at night then its dead and I don't wake up for work in morning). |
Could just be a bad battery. Considering the old works fine that's probably the problem.

I have a similar problem with the original battery that came with phone it drains the charge quickly to 1% and on one 1% it gives a battery life of more time than the time it took to discharge from 100%.i was thinking of buying a new battery but now i am confused that what should i look before buying the battery to get a battery that can show me the exact charge on the indicator.
I have tried all tutorial of calibration used different roms and kernels but nothing seems to solve the issue.
well I might try that then, just let it run to zero see how long it lasts then see whether the stats come good over time
OK help needed.
The new battery is great capacity wise, lasts from morning to bedtime with >2 hours of bluetooth music, 30 mins calls, a ton of texts.
However the stats are still totally screwed, it will say 1% by midday, then hum along until midnight fixed at 1% (I dunno exactly how long for as I can't take the risk of leaving it off at night then its dead and I don't wake up for work in morning).
Aside from wiping stats which I have tried, is there anythnig else I can do?
I really want to use it, like I said real life capacity is great, but if its always giong to be reporting 1% its a bit dicey not knowing how much batt you really have left...
same issue with my spare battery not sure wtf is going on
When I have battery stat problems the following has always fixed it:
1) leave phone on until it dies
2) take back off phone and plug into wall charger
3) after batt symbol shows 100% (without unplugging or turning off the phone) remove the battery. After a minute or so battery symbol will have question mark
4) put battery back in and leave it for at least 2 hours (seems like I have had to press the switch sometimes but you don't want the phone to reboot or you will have to start all over)
5) reboot into CWM and wipe the battery stats
6) reboot and it should be good to go
Anyone else found a fix to this yet?
I'm now running ICS (turl build) issue is still there.
Steps taken to resolve
- discharge to zero
- charge to max
- wipe stats
still there.
The weird thing is that the actual capacity is fine, it can last all day no worries, just from midday onwards it thinks its 1% so has annoying LED flashing at you, also you have no idea how much batt it actually has.
Edit: I just realised your suggestion above has extra step (take batt out of connected atrix then insert again). I guess I'll have to drain it again and do it overnight... gah

Nothing will work i have tried almost every tutorial. Recently i found out the phone is showing the the full capacity of battery only 500 that's why i think we will have to change that with the actual voltage to get a accurate battery indicator.What's ur battery full charge design check if from the root exploler

not sure how changing it would help though or is even possible?. It must be dynamically reported somehow as my good battery gives me a 'good' stat.

500 same as you! second drain and calibrate did nothing
Maybe theres a faulty batch of batteries and we both got one
Can people PLEASE stop telling us to calibrate we've BOTH DONE THAT MANY TIMES NOW. The problem is that the capacity of the battery is being reported as 500mah not 1930 or whatever its supposed to be. THe actual running time of the battery is fantastic, just thinks its at 0 all the time lol
