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

Have you tried a fresh reflash of the ROM after you did the battery calibrations?

I had same issue.. Using Battery Dr app to charge my phone.. I just let the phone get down below 20% and then did a full cycle charge again.. that fixed it for me

How did it fix it for you? I tried it last night and still only reached 95%
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 had same issue too,tried a full wipe or flashed different sbfs,but it didn't work at all.i guess it is gingerbread's fault.this didn't happened in 2.2.

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.

i am trying to do this, but no matter how long my phone stays connected it never says fully charged, just keeps showing the animated goo at 90% on top of battrey, it can do that forever, should i try what you said even if it does not say fully charged?

I just flashed KaosFroyo v34 a couple days ago. Coming from stock 2.1, I have noticed that the battery life on my eris is nothing like what it used to be. My battery runs out VERY quickly. I have heard that KaosFroyo has great battery life so am I doing something wrong? Any suggestionson how to get better battery life?
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section I wasn't sure where to post it.
Look a few threads down for the thread saying for those having issues with battery life.

Did you recalibrate your battery? This is an important step, to do this charge your battery to a full charge (turn your phone off and charge at least 1 hour after the led turns green) boot into recovery, wipe bat stats, unplug your phone and run until it turns itself off, try to reboot, if you can reboot run until the phone dies and repeat until the phone will not boot, connect charger and fully charge, let drain again and you should be calibrated.

I would try the recalibration as mentioned before...or if you want to try something quicker, you could run v32 and see if that makes a difference for you.

holy crap thats a lot of work to calibrate for me since my phones calibration is off aswell but not by that far, with a full charge im able to run music for about 8-12 hours or so, so i think im good. Only reason i think my calibration is off is that even when my phone shows green the charge says only 87% and i can still let it continue to 100% the phone is not stopping that. But would it be a good idea for me to re-calibrate the battery?

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.

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!

Yea, as the title says.
is there a way to fix this ?
THANKS!
I would try re-calibrating your battery. Try this which is straight from my MIUI guide.... (I suggest method 2 as it is the easiest)....
RECONDITION YOUR BATTERY
AFTER FLASHING IF YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE BAD BATTERY LIFE TRY ONE OF THE METHODS BELOW TO FIX:
Method One:
Use phone till it dies on its own, completely dead.
Charge phone completely, plus 30 minutes longer.
Unplug phone from charger
Reconnect, you'll notice it's not full, charge till it is again.
This is bump charging and NOT something you want to do often, a few times is okay, in my opinion. You could skip the bump charge if you like.
Phone remains plugged in.
Boot into recovery (volumes + power)
Advanced > wipe battery stats, reboot.
Use phone till it's literally about to shut off (or does) Charge till full + Use phone like normal
OR
Method Two:
Download the Battery Calibration app by NeMa from the Android Market

Click to collapse
Tell me if this works for you...
A real battery capped to charge at 96% or 97% due to voltage issues that would occur if charged to complete 100%. But samsungs stock ROMS and most other ROMS are customized to display this 100% when its really not at that level. Since MIUI is based off of CM7(and this is uncredited of course), it is not modified in any way and it displays the actual battery life. Which in your case is 96%. Hope this helps.

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

This will definitely fix the problem, but only temporarily. Next time it drains down and I try to charge it up again, it stops at 80-85%. But when you look at the battery stats, it shows 4200.
I've tried wiping the battery stats, applying the Juggernaut fix, following the steps in the ultimate batttery guide -- still have the problem. I even switched back from CM7 to stock ROM and can't seem to shake this issue.
Just totally kill it and then recharge it fully.
Thats what I do whenever I get this problem.

I am having the same problem since updating to gingerbread. Will try deleting files above. First time I´ve seen that advice.
Just an update. Temporary fix for me only. Phone still charges only to 60% after a recharge.tried everything so far with no results.
I switched from the ics mod cm7 to nuetrino and also drained it fully. It now charges to around 93ish%, but my phone normally charges to only about 95-97% even when it was on stock.

this method works to set your current level to 100% or 99%. just did it with 67% remaining and rebooted to see 99% battery. tried wiping batt stats and plugging in without booting but it still saw the batt as full.
luckily i was just experimenting so i had backed up all three of those files and restored them and was back to 67% after reboot. so i'm charging it to the max my phone sees now (87%) and then deleting the files to set that as the new 100%.

Let me know if it sticks after a full discharge and recharge. I deleted the files while i was at 100%, maybe if should have done it while stuck at 60%.

I also just deleted the files, i had a full charge (showing 93% (and thats been the highest in weeks!)), i will post back my findings as well
~~~EDIT~~~
4 hours later, full brightness and no screen timout, i am down to 1%.... just waiting for the phone to turn off. i want to post my results so you guys can see when you come on next... the longest part now is going to be the full 100% charge, which i have not had in weeks.... fingers crossed!
~~~EDIT 2~~~
Well I have been stuck at 93% for the last 30 minutes or so. looks like if you let the phone go dead or power down, it reverts back, or there is something else causing. this issue
It seems to me deleting those files results the same as removing the battery while charging and placing in back.both tips gets you back to 100% but only temporarily for some of us. After a discharge it will not charge to 100%, just as before. I have no idea what is causing it, but my phone battery is about to die from overcharging. like everyone else, it started after a flash.but for some reason it is permanent for some users. Will be getting a new phone if I cannot solve the problem. If anyone had any insights feel welcome to contribute.
ya... after leaving it charge overnight, mine is only at 94%.... so this is only a temp, VERY ttemp fix.
i was thinking the other day, my dad has an Atrix also, his is BONE stock. i was thinking about switching batteries for a day and see what happens.... what do ya think?

Worth a try, I was going to buy a new battery to see if it solves it. from what I have read it is a problem with motorola battery driver and gingerbread. Let us know how it went. Maybe a new battery somehow resets it back into working.

So thats a twist in this issue. he said he took his battery out with the phone off and when he put it back in, it was 100%. he just told me that the other day it went to 80% charge.
