Strange problem with battery - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody!! I am using Evo Gingermod #7, the thing is that I came back from holidays and started to charge the phone again with the dock. When I get up in the morning it says "5% of battery, please connect you charger"!! So I had to take the charger and the dock with me when I was leaving home. At the office I charged the phone with the charger and surprisingly it charges up to 5% and it stops and when i disconnect it the phone continues charging as it was still pluged in!!.. I tried battery recalibration and it didn't work, tried wiping battery stats and neither.. I wanted to flash an sbf but in rsd mode it says "battery too low to flash".. I tried changing the battery but the same problem.. In some way the phone takes the 5% as the 100% because it is all day turned on with 1% :S
Thanks for reading

Have you tried booting into recovery and wiping cache/dalvik cache?

Battery calibration - Or battery problem

Having an issue with ROMs where I take my phone off the charger and within a few minutes im down to 93% battery. 100-93 in several minutes is quite bad...
Ive tried to calibrate the battery by running it down then charging it backup etc, but it just keeps persisting. Anyone know how to fix this? Erasing battery stats did nothing also...

Ya but my phone turns on into CMW recovery each time i plug it in when its off.
You should charge up to 100% and leave it trickle charging for about an hour.. then reboot into recovery and reset the battery stats in Clockwork Recovery.
If you're staying stock, I don't have any other options.

Battery miscalibration

hi guys. i've just flash a new miui rom on my o2x. and i found that the battery drain much faster than it was before. last night i had 14% of battery left on my phone, and this morning it shut down due to out of battery. so i pluged in my wall charger while my phone was off. and when it showed the green fully chargeed bar i disconnected the charger and boot my phone in to CWM recovery to wipe battery stats. then i reboot the phone into android and u know what? the phone show 100% of battery only in 3 secconds and then it show 1% left, please connect the charger. huh? what the f*** is going on? i connect the charger and the phone show that it's being charged? how can it charge a fully charged battery? and the charging speed is faster as light. it's has been charging about 15 mins now and it show 46% charged. may be google was wrong saying that batterystats.bin does not affect the measurement of battery level.
Seems to be a bug issue.
What i would do is reinstall the rom.
Wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache.
Make sure you wipe both at least 3 times then reinstall because sometime android doesnt get everything the first time.
If still fails flash a custom kernel.
These help adjust the phones hardware to correspond with the settings of your software.
good luck to you.

Optimus one wiped battery stats too soon

Ok I made a mistake.One day after I installed a new rom,I wiped the battery stats,and the battery was around 40%,after that I had problems with the battery.I mean to make it charge to 100% I had to wait for even 3 days!
So I changed the rom,and wiped the battery stats again,when the battery was about 50%.
The problem is now,I can't make it to 100% to calibrate the battery.I mean my phone shows it's charging and after 2 hours,it didn't add at least 1% to the battery.
So,right now I can't get pass 45% battery,because (probably),the phone is set that is actually the max it can charge.
This might sound stupid but I have no other ideea.The phone shows it is charging,but after 2 hours it didn't charge at all.I tried plugging it into a computer,or a wall charger,the same,the phone remains at 41%.
Is there anything I can do?
Wiping battery stats has nothing to do with your problem.

Try this - Flash a new rom, but wipe the battery stats before that. Don't wipe stats again after flashing :thumbup:

Battery drain problem

Hi all,
I have read almost every threads related to this problem but nothing solves my battery drain problem
Everything was fine with my battery until one day I was at work and didn't have my charger so my phone went off because of empty battery. After that when I pluged my charger battery wan't charge at all, it was dead completely. I went to the store I buy new battery but I still have problem with draining very fast. It takes a lot of time to even charge the battery to 100%...after 10 hours of charging battery is just 30-40% full. One time battery was at 68% and I turned phone off...after turning it on again after few seconds battery is at 28%...
I tried everything that I could find in other threads - factory reset, deleting cache, dalvik cache, battery stats, calibrating battery, putting phone in flight mod, checking battery stats, background apps, removing SD card, deleting all apps, turning off media scaner...but nothing helps, battery is still charging very slow and drains very fast...
I have JB 4.1.2 stock rom on my phone and also tried with gingerbread 2.3.3 stock rom but problem is still there...
What could be a problem?? Please help...
Have you tried another charger?

Yes, i tried with original AC adapter, usb cable and even with HTC AC adapter...
The usb port might be damaged...I'll guess your battery never get's 100%, that's why it's drained too fast.

That's true, in last 2-3 days I'm trying to charge it but I didn't get 100% yet...not even when I shutdown the phone...it shows 100% but when I unplug the charger it's on 40-50% only.
It look like my problem is solved
I'm not sure what solved my problem but here is what I did last:
I have removed SD card from the phone and deleted Google Services App, then I turn on flight mode and connected phone to AC adapter...battery was at 28% and it tooks about 5-6 hours to fully charge the battery. After that I have disconnected the charger and after 15 hours my battery is at 88% with some minimal use of the phone (few SMS, 5-10 minutes on the internet via wi-fi and some settings). I also tried to turn off the phone and power it again and everything is normal, I didn't lose any percentage of the battery like before. I also have putted back my SD card and there is no problems ( it has same files like before, it's not formated ).
I'm very satisfied with this battery life so far, I never had better
So, to conclude this, it looks like Google Services was draining my battery or maybe it was because of the new battery so it needed to be formed.
Anyway, I hope that this will be usefull to someone with same problems.
I'm glad you sorted it out mate. Lol with some search it looks like that Google Services app is causing many people battery problems.

[Q] Battery used up suddenly

hi,
I recently change from rom IC stock to JB stock (Spain). Every thing is fine except after working with phone for some time & battery used up to 25%, suddenlly the signal drops & phone shuts down. I cannot turn on the phone unless I plug in the charger where my battery is 0%. Also after flashing to JB, I wiped the data in recovery.
Phone is NOT root & battery is brand new.
Thanx

Did you create this topic immediately after putting it on charge or did you at least wait a hour or 2?

Yes, I know what happened you said so in your first post, My point was have you left it charging yet, for an hour or 2 and then tried to boot?

Actually I had the same problem with my old battery. I was advised to change the battery; with the brand new one, I left it charge fully to 100% for 6 hours as per instruction, then turn the phone on as the aforementioned problem occurred again. Again put it on charge for couple of hours to 100% charge then reboot the phone. Right now every thing looks Ok but I am worried why it happened with the new battery. is it the rom or the phone?
