Battery won't callibrate - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

No matter what I do, my battery won't report as 100% the highest it got was 49% but battery callibration reported 4200mv. I tried callibrating and wiping battery stats and nothing worked.

Same problem but at least mine gets up to 67%. MV drops the moment it's unplugged though.
I've also tried shutting down, pulling battery, waiting until "?", then popping it back in. Only seems to fix it once.
Thoughts? Does the V6 hardcore battery calibration fix this?

If it's any help to you, this is common issue. I have 3 Atrix's and they all charged and drained normally out of the box. This might be due to the 10% increments? I'm not sure exactly what step caused it, because I've flashed multiple ROM's on all three and various theme's, hacks, etc. Eventually they all stopped getting to 100%. They all will get to 4200mv and battery usage doesn't seem to be affected, but they all top out between 75%-95%.
I've tried all the calibrations methods mentioned on xda numerous times, and all devices. None of them worked past a single charge and then back to % inaccuracies.
Just something I've had to learn to ignore. If you do come across a working solution, I'm sure a lot of people would love to hear it.

My atrix has been on 1% for the last like 7 hours. So something is going on behind the scenes.

Wow, that's even worse than mine. I can routinely get 1-2 hours on 1%, but that's it.

I have a few questions about the battery, if you would be so kind...

Not battery life.
Today i noticed my battery meter has been sticking, any way to fix that? It'll drop 20% upon reboot.
Today i noticed that my battery would spike up from 95% to 100% while charging and not go anywhere in between,. Is that normal? Battery calibration app kept going off early, and then as soon as it hit 100% i unplugged it without calibrating it, and it dropped to 99%. Happened twice in five minutes.
Also, instead of using clockwork recovery, i use Battery Calibration app to wipe my batt stats.
What mV should i be on?
One last thing, how do you bump charge? And is it really that unsafe?

I noticed this yesterday, I had my phone plugged in and it was at 94-95% and 2 minutes later it was at 100%.
To bump charge, once your phone is at 100%, unplug your phone power it down then replug it in. Once it shows the green LED meaning 100% charged boot your phone up and keep it plugged in. Might go back to being orange saying its not 100% yet so let it get to 100%. Unplug it and replug it back in a couple times until every time you plug it in it shows green for 100%.
I would think that it would be bad for the battery if you do this every day, but I can't give a definite answer for that. I use Battery Calibration to do that too, but between today and yesterday after I flashed over the new CDMA/LTE radio leak from the Radio thread my battery life hasn't been great. Considering going back to the stock radio.
I've noticed similar things on my bolt and even my dinc. To counteract this, I stopped looking at the battery % and got battery left instead. This app tells you how much longer your battery will last in hours rather than %. I no longer freak out about my battery life, %, or what others are getting; I've never been happier.

Sounds like a good idea especially for me lol. I noticed this morning that my phone was 56%, down from 74%. 18% drain over the time span of like 6-7 hours or so while I was sleeping. Not sure how good or bad that is, but for me it was just like wow.
You're being anal. Don't worry about it. Your phone is working fine. The battery level will appear to jump around a bit, especially when going on/off charger, or rebooting. Search around if you feel a need to know why.

Having a weird problem

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.

[Q] Battery problems

Good evening all.
When i'm charging my battery with wall charger our pc charger. I cant fully charge to 100. Its saying fully charged but after i unplug its going down to 96 our even 65 percent. And another thing was when is was charging my battery it was at 86 and after that the battery was going downwards instead of upwards ( when in charger ). So i searched on the internet and i found a way to calibrate the battery,turn off foon let it fully charge,take battery out 180 sec and put back in and it should be calibrated. But my problem is i cant get it fully charged because its getting downwards. Even now its stuck at 81 percent and not going furter. annyone got a solotion. Thank you in advanced.
I hope you get an answer, I have had this problem before but changing ROM seemed to fix it...... Please don't ask me to many questions if any, I'm pretty sure I'm more of a noob than you

Thank you,ive tried that already. I am thinking to go back to gb and see how that works. Realy dont got a clue what else to do. And i'm completly new to this,so i'm a noob. hehe
The standard answer you will get from most people on here is "its been covered many times before."
However, I will tell you its the fuel gauge chip. Several charge-discharge cycles should correct the issue. Very common when swapping ROMs.
For example, for the hell of it, I just reset my chip and dropped from 63% to 2%. The chip kind of "learns" over time what full charge and empty is, and drifts about a bit until its fully sure what 100% and 0% are.

try rest battery history from recovery mode>>>advance
Also did that advanced wipe battery stats. Diddent seem to work out.
Thanks reverted, bij resetting the chip.
Do you mean, wiping battery stats?

Resetting chip,do you mean wiping battery stats?

No, just fully charge it, then let it discharge completely, charge and repeat, it will sort out its misrepresenting charge after a couple of full charges.

I'm trying to do that,but battery wont charge completly.
Its going downwards after reaching 82 percent our even don't load.After a couple tries its charging again but not to 100 percent.
So when i reach the limit when its going down again pull out wait till its empty and try again? At a sertain point it will be charging again till 100?
Btw sorry for my bade english!

Did you try turning the phone off and then charge it? After that do some charges when the phone is on like stated above.
Yes m8 i did,and trying it again right now.
The weird thing is,when my foon is on. The battery shows like 49. And now i turned foon of,and its seems like the green battery is like 15 our something. I also did wipe battery stats again. And whent back to a stock rom.
I would buy a spare battery, you'll get an official 1 for £10 to £15, that way you have a spare and will also be able to set if your phone or battery has a fault.
With my battery I did few bump charges (replugging it back in after it says 100%) and the battery life is excellent. I don'the let it drop below 15% if I can help it.
Good luck

Problem solved i think.
Got me a new battery,charged on a wall charger (not cable) and it was showing 100 in the phone. Then i charged my origenal battery on a wall charger (not cable) And was showing 100 to in the phone.
Now i found out that my charge conector on the phone,has a bad conection.
So i think thats why it issent loading our stops loading at a sertain point.
Sending back my s2 and hope to get it back soon.
Thanks you all for the help. And have a nice day.

Battery doesnt charge full?!

Hey guys..
I noticed something weird on my galaxy s3. Whenever i charge my device till 100% and take it off from charger, it goes down to 99% immediatly. I thought it could be a bug in my current rom so i flashed another one. But the buf still exists. I even changed kernels. Still same problem. I am running latest foxhound rom
+franco r5 kernel right now.
Is there any solution for this bug?
Hope someone can help me.
Best regards

It is not a bug, that's how it is made.
If the phone charged to 100% and sat there for a long time, the battery would lose charge cycles and life faster. So what it does, is one of two things:
It will either NEVER actually charge to 100%, or
It will charge to 100%, take itself off the charger to about 95%, and then charge again to 100%, over and over.
HTC does the second one, I think the S3 does the first.
Thanks for the answer.
I didnt know that. Its just so weird because on every of my previous phones the battery stayed on 100%.
But anyways thanks

I know, I don't like it either haha. Some phones will even say "100%" right off the charger even if they're not actually at 100%, which is why sometimes you see people that take their phone off the charger at 100% and a few minutes later they are at 95, etc.
There have been a lot of questions about this in sammy roms, and also in the s1. And it got me thinking about it this way.
As soon as you disconnect the phone from the charger it's dropped to 99%. But in my head, I say it has had to have even used the most minimal amount of juice and is 'technically' no longer at 100%.
Some are saying other phones are reporting batteries on 100% for up to an hour after disconnecting from the charger. That might look great, but there is no way that is correct either, because it has to have used some juice in that hour.
Maybe samsung don't like pandering to the needs of the masses re battery use reporting. Maybe sammy is the only one reporting a correct level.
Me, I don't care. My phone lasts just fine. Are you getting better battery life than your last phone? Haven't I read that the 1x has ordinary battery life? Does it's percentage stay at 100% for a long time? If so, that would be a bit of a rip off to me.
I know sammy have included the option to show the battery percentage within the settings of the s3. I don't use it, and my battery indicator stays at 100% until the battery reaches about 90%. Works for me.
Batteries never charge to 100% anyways to avoid the battery over-charging and exploding

Charge stops at 54%
Hi,
My SIII e fully stock and a few days now it does not charge past 54%. i tried to drain the battery completely and charge it after ant same thing happened. I can leave it overnight charging and it stops at 54%. Any solutions?
Thanks,

Need to help with battery charge level

After flashing new roms on my photon I can never get the battery icon to display the correct percentage. I would leave my phone on charge until it reaches 100% and when I unplug it it'll immediately drop to 99%. I've tried the app battery calibration, let the phone discharge, and I still have the same results when I recharge. I've also tried to wipe battery stats in bootstrap recovery and the same thing happens. Not only that but at times the phone will alert me that it's fully charged when it at 98% charge. Is there something I didn't do properly or is there any way for me to fix this?

Mines the same way, always has been. There isn't anything wrong with your phone, thats just the way the programmers of the phones software chose to interpret different events when charging...
Oh okay. I just find it a little annoying every time I'll disconnect the charger from the phone and it shows that. The devs should look more into that and get it right but I'm not complaining, they work too hard to get everything working almost perfectly on the roms they create and the battery icon shouldn't set them back from releasing their software.
