I have ATT Atrix 2.3.4 with Bootloader Unlocked bought in End of March 2011.
After 2.3.4 update I had Battery Stats jumping issue and applied jug6ernaut Fix.
After that everything was normal until yesterday.
When plugged in for Charge overnight, my Atrix wont exceed charging beyond 70%.
Is it so early a battery would loose its power within just 9 months?
Also When i run Battery Calibration app, it shows 70% with Voltage as 4115mV, which shows the battery is providing good voltage.
Is there any Fix for this or any thing I can try to get it to 100% without buying a new one?
Thanks
Let the battery drain itself and charge it in offline mode. It will be %100 again.
May I know what do you mean by Offline Mode?
Is it Charging without powering Atrix ON...
yup - dont log into the phone and just let her charge while asleep.
In development and general forums there are some ways of fixing it, the easier is to discharge your phone to zero percent, put it on charger, without the battery, wait it to see that isnt with battery, put the battery in, and let it charge, i did that, its not a 100% sure it will work, but is something you can try if nothing else solves the problem

I tried the last method.. put on charger without battery and then put my battery and left for charge for full night and its back to 100% and now its back to 100%..
Thanks everyone for your updates to solve my issue..

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
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.
So I charge my Galaxy S2 to full (or at least, it says it's full), unplug it, and it says it's only charged to 60%, or 43%, or something random. I plug it back in, and off it goes, starts charging again, this time usually up to the "proper" 100%.
On top of this, the battery drain is very fast (10-15% overnight)
So, believing it's the battery, I get a replacement. Same thing.
I then learn that the reason might be because I flashed Lite'ning ROM while not on full battery, and that it just needs a battery calibration.
Ok, so I do a battery calibration - I charge it to full, drain it to 0%, then charge again. Take it off the charger, plug it back in to make sure it's full and...what do you know, the battery meter shows it at about 20% It continues to charge for about 4-6 hours after this.
Help? Is my phone faulty, or am I just not doing the calibration correct? I don't think it was like this before I installed Lite'ning ROM. So I'm praying it's not the phone itself?
The only other thing I can think that it might be, is the fact that it's a UK Galaxy S2, but I'm using it in Japan with a Japanese charger. Though I don't think that's an issue.
Any help would be very much appreciated.... not only does my battery not charge to full in one go, but it has **** life afterwards
did you try removig battery stats from recovery mode?

Yeah, that's what I meant by "tried the battery calibration".
Charged to full, wiped battery stats from recovery, then rebooted.
Try using app battery monitor widget, and check battery is actually charging it to around 4200mV, and discharges to around 3500mV at approx 1%.
100% is not full, it will continue charging for quite a bit after to around 4200.
At least you will know that the high and low scale is correct, and can monitor in between.

So I charged it overnight via AC adapter (with the phone turned on), woke up, and the phone was at 4%!
Seriously, what the hell?
Phone was indeed reading close to 3500mV via Battery Monitor when it was almost empty
Any help?
Try charging via usb, much slower than ac though, then check again.
Don't drain battery to 0%, certain reports indicate not good for the battery, others say no worries. Try 1% so the phone doesn't turn off.
Although the huge jumps in battery level indicate a battery issue; If still no good, try a different ROM, and recalibrate. Also try in flight mode overnight and check results.

Thanks for the suggestions man, I appreciate it. My main concern is whether or not it is a problem with the phone itself - the place I bought it from has a ****ty returns policy and won't exchange it or anything. So I'm hoping like hell it is something I can fix myself (new battery, new charger, different rom, etc etc etc).
As I mentioned, I'm currently on the latest Lite'ning ROM with Ninphetamine kernal I believe. Just did a factory reset/data wipe via recovery mode, thinking it would get rid of lite'ning rom and the ninphetamine kernal, but upon rebooting the Lite'ning rom theme (blue lightning on the icons, etc) is still there.
Anyway, I have it charging on USB now, and I have ANOTHER battery coming tomorrow, along with a stand-alone wall charging unit (that charges just a battery on it's own, not connected to the phone). Maybe I should charge the new battery via that for 16 hours, then stick it in the phone, wipe the battery stats via recovery, and flash a new ROM (say, the new villainrom)?
Yeah, forgot about that also, I have two SGS2 (one in for repair), and each time new have let is charge overnight without turning on before first boot. Then discharge to approx 1% (do not let it die), then charge fully to 100% and approx 4200mV. Quickly clear battery stats with Battery Monitor Widget (menu / stats / SU permission, no need for recovery as you'll waste battery rebooting and get inaccurate reading) and immediately disconnect charging. A new batt stats file will be generated.
At least with this method you'll know your at a "true" 100%.
Also, it may take a number of charge cycles for full battery potential, but don't let it die.
I use Cognition straight "out of the box" with no issues.

When I charge my phone it only charges to 99%. I'll leave it in for a while, come back and it's only at 99%. Either charging in the wall, or on the computer. It used to make it to 100% then all of a sudden it just stays at 99% regardless how long it charges. So the charging light always stays on and never lets me know when it's fully charged.
Any idea why?
Thanks.
Mine does that too once in a while, randomly.
But the Sensation would do that to randomly.
Dunno why.
Battery is strange...
I get that too. But eventually it will get to 100%. There has been times where it was charged to 100% then suddenly drop to 99% even though it still plugged in.
Did you get your phone recently? I'm thinking its because the battery needs to be conditioned.
Mines always does that, as soon as I unplug it it jumps to 98%. Im hoping ARHD fixes this
I've installed Battery Widget (from Market) and it reports 100%. I plug in every night and in the morning it reads 100%.

New Amaze Android Revolution HD ROM by mike1986?
This happens with many devices. I have not seen this yet on my Amaze but I am sure at some point it will happen. Try turning the phone off and charging it to 100% then power it on also try running the battery all the way down and letting it charge to full UNINTERRUPTED over night. If those dont help you can always try another rom with better battery management or go into a t-mobile store and get a battery replacement if your battery is still under warranty. Hope this helps
HTC does this on a lot of phones. It is a safety default to keep the battery healthy and safe. I had this issue with the Evo. The only way to fully charge a battery is to have other a wall charger or a SBC kernel.
its the best sense rom known to man in my opinion.

My stock battery is 3.8v, and it only goes to 100% if I charge it in the phone. If I use my wall charger, it shows up at 99% when I put it back in my phone. I have two aftermarket batteries that show about 98% when charged from the wall. I am thinking that the phone charging circuit is set for 3.8v, and might possibly overheat the aftermarket batteries (3.7v). I saw one review that said these batteries melted the top of his SIM card. I'm not planning on trying that; I use the stock, charging every night, and swap the spares in if I run out of charge during the day.
I just remember hearing the same stories when I had my evo. You could charge for hours and unplug it and it would almost immediately drop to 99 or 98. So my previous statement may or may not help.
I charged mine over nite and woke up to it being 99%, left it for another hour or two and it hit 100%. I would say to leave it a little longer to get that last 1%.

For anyone who is running quicksense, if you want better battery life, charge your phone completely and go into recovery > Advanced> wipe battery stats. And done!

I find that if my phone its powered off while charging, it shows 100. If powered on, it shoes 99.

this is normal for lithium ion batteries...it also depends how the manufacturer perceives the battery...some manufeacturers say that your phone is 100 percent but it might only be around 95-98...overcharging lithium ions are bad...also some manufacturers say you have 10 percent left while you might actually have 15 or maybe to percent left...this is a fail safe method to shut off the phone and keep the battery from draining completely WHICH IS REALLY REALLY BAD FOR LITHIUM IONS...OVER CHARGING THE BATTERY IS BAD TOO...perhaps htc's thresh holds are a little different and actual to the real battery life.
also not a good idea to use your phone or any lithium ion device while its charging
powering off your phone to charge it overnight is the best idea to give you lithium ion a long life but this is not practical. this is why it says 100 percent when you turn off the phone and 99 when you're phone is off....it confuses the phone: " A portable device must be turned off during charge. This allows the battery to reach the set threshold voltage unhindered, and enables terminating charge on low current. A parasitic load (which means using phone or turning screen on while its charging) confuses the charger by depressing the battery voltage and preventing the current in the saturation stage to drop low. A battery may be fully charged, but the prevailing conditions prompt a continued charge. This causes undue battery stress and compromises safety."

I have searched the forums but not found a thread which is similar to my problem.. I know there are battery drain issues with wifi etc but this is wierd and only started happening a few days back.
Basically i plug phone in to charge and it charges completely normally and quickly as it used to but only charges up to about 68/70% then it basically stops charging any higher, LED still red, charging display over battery still there. Turning phone off, rebooting, unplugging and plugging charger back in all makes no difference!
Any ideas what could be the cause of this? how to resolve?
I'm on stock JB, using the official wall charger and USB cable and i made sure the battery was full when i updated to JB as well.
Try a different battery, these are getting to the point where some will start to fail, six month warranties on batteries for a reason.
Well i have a £1.99 spare battery in atm as i run the original battery completely flat today. Seriously though be surprised if battery fail after 3/4 mths - never had battery dying issues on previous phones i've had until they were a good 2/3 years old.. Always a first though LOL
Its like the battery is saying its fully charged at 70%, now its completely flat i will charge it overnight with the phone off to full (if it gets there) and see if is resets the battery callibration or something.
Try to wipe battery stats via cwm recovery/advanced.

if you are rooted than download batterycalibration and untick 100% charge and click recalibrite and leave the phone on charge and it should charge up nto 100%

This app just wipes battery stays, so you can do same by going to cwm/advanced/wipe battery stats.

It has nothing to do with wiping battery stats. I think Kangburra is right...
UPDATE.
Shamed to say that i am not rooted yet... I have been there and done all that on my old phone ZTE Blade, but i really like the added functions that TW brings and don't suffer much in the way of anoying redraws or lag etc (although i do feel that TW could be optomised alot better along with better RAM Management)
I was going to at least root to sim unlock but got a sim free unlocked phone so had no need, then other stuff i wanted to do like freeze samsung apps etc is all possible without root and i've not come across that "I" need root at the moment.. was going to for APPS2ROM but i got no need to free up space yet.
Cheers for the suggustions though - I have that battery callibration app already (from old phone days) obviously don't work though.
Anyway - I am monitoring battery atm but it seems that running the battery completely flat until it turned itself off and charging overnight with battery off has resolved this issue - maybe this reset the battery stats and recalibrated it.
Its back to normal now, charges upto 100% as normal!! Fingers crossed this was just a blip
So, i bought from eBay a small and cheap battery bank. After charging my phone with it, my device started to reboot now and then. As the time passed, the problem was getting serious, until i wasn't able any longer to turn on my device (the initial logo would appear for a ms and then vanish), even when My device was plugged with the wall charger. I then bought a generic battery, and my device seems to be working fine now (except for the battery meter,which seems not able to get celibrated - after a full charge, it would show 100% for some time, then a fast drop to 80, it would stay there, suddenly then 70, then 40...).
So, I was wondering if you could tell me what did get wrong with my first battery. The battery meter got messed up. After a full charge (battery level 100%), and a reboot, my battery meter was showing no more than 15%, while the voltage was pretty much 4200 mV. From then on my device was rebooting constantly, until I couldn't get it on again...
Now i have this second battery, on which i'm afraid to plug that battery bank, since it could possibly damage the battery.

Get a proper working battery from your friend...let your phone run through a complete charge/discharge cycle..
Completely drain the battery..Connect to wall charger and leave it for 5 hrs..See if it fixes the battery meter..
I suspect the battery bank is giving a over voltage or its not grounded properly...dont use that anymore..
Hit thanks if i helped you..
Regards..
