OK, guys, I heard that ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 has issues with off-charging. I tested that for myself.
I flashed Revolutionary Recovery 4.0.1.4, and the phone seems to CHARGE while turned off. There's a bit of a problem, though.
A few friends suggested that I discharge the phone entirely then charge it while it's turned off, for 12 hours. I did that! LED was green when I woke up (12 hours since plugged in), so I disconnected it and turned the phone on. SURPRISE ! 64% BATTERY ! I rebooted the phone, thinking that maybe the % counter isn't showing it properly. No, it WAS showing it properly.
What is the problem?! Is it because of the recovery, again? I thought Revolutionary CWM 4.0.1.4 isn't broken like that?!
The problem is not that it doesn't charge while off. After the phone's battery depleted, I plugged it to the wall charger, then the red LED switched on, 5 seconds later it went off then it switched back on. I believe the phone charged to 100% then it was supposed to discharge to 90% then charge back up to 100%... and it didn't recharge once it went back to 90%, but continued to discharge. Otherwise I see no explanation why it was at 64% after 10 hours of charging...

I have left mine on the charger over night when I woke up mine was green and said 96% it's discharging to keep from spakin the battery...
Once it gets to a certain point it will charge back up...
Charge your phone till 100% green light unplug it go to recovery wipe your battery stats reboot phone and use it till it dies.
Then give it a full charge and your good to go..

Charge it tll green while it's turned off, right? Then, RIGHT AS it goes green, I go wipe that placebo file?
I'll do that, I was planning to do that anyway.
I know it's a protection so it won't damage the battery... But it's supposed to charge back up once it's discharged to 90%, not continue to go down below 70%!

It's been charging from 80% to 99% relatively fast. Stood at 99% for about half an hour =) .
I'll wipe that file, then...? I let the phone battery die and charge it while it's off and when the LED goes green I disconnect it? That was my concern always : do we have to charge it back up while it's OFF or ON...

It's 2012. It's time to aggressively spread the word that discharging your phone, charging it back up and repeating the cycle 3 times while you chant monk songs will do absolutely nothing for your battery.
Battery 'conditioning' methods do not work, are not needed, and haven't been for a very long time now.
That is all!

Yeah, well, I did do that 'conditioning' and it seemed like it worked, at least for a few days. I guess it's just a placebo. That was when I had the Desire and the Desire HD. I didn't have time to let the phone charge while off lately, perhaps I will, soon.

Whenever there's a socket nearby and I have the cords with me, I preffer to stay on the charger and take out the battery. I know it's reccomended that you use the battery 2-3 times a month and never stay without the battery for a long period of time.

I'm also having this problem.. Was wondering whether there is a solution for us GSM users? I've installed the oldest ClockworkMod that I can find on ROM Manager 5.0.1.6, but that still seems to have the same problem.
Are there any alternatives? Or does anyone have an older ClockWork and a method to install it without using ROM manager?

3rd party battery makers (like Momax, Seidio etc.) claim their batteries hold up to 80% of the specificed capacity, and sometimes, EVEN 60% ! That is RUBBISH.
I had a solar battery (China). It said it was of 2600 mAh. Wouldn't charge my old Desire even up to 80%... So it barely had 1000 mAh, lol.

And yeah, ClockworkMod Recovery by Revolutionary (not sure how to really call it, lol) 4.0.1.4 is the best... Too bad TeamWinRecoveryProject isn't available for us, GSM owners . WHY THE F*** is it for CDMA only, though. The hardware CAN'T DIFFER THAT MUCH .

I have been using my g tablet unplugged for several hours with both TnT Lite and ZPad clean and the battery meter still shows 100%. Has anyone else experienced this before or have any ideas how to fix it?
Mine stays at 100% for up to an hour but not for multiple hours and that is on various roms.
It finally starting coming down from 100%, but it took about 3 hours. I am thinking it may not be the most accurate battery meter
I'm having the same issue. At first I thought , gee this thing has great battery life, then it shut down even tough the battery was at 100% , start it it , then shuts down. I thought it broke , then realized I had seen a post on this issue n plugged it in.

Mine does the same thing, and I thought that it might have been a problem but it eventually starts dropping, and usually starts dropping quickly or so I think.
It looks to me to be a problem of an improperly calibrated battery meter... still haven't tried the Clockwork mod wipe batt data yet though...
(This happened to me on stock fw & TnT lite 2.0 - 2.2.0 so far...)

I had the same problem.
I downloaded "Advanced Battery Improve" and it works for me. Now the battery meter updates correctly. Do not know if its a coincidence.
im having this problem too...
I had the same problem after my first charge. I let the battery completely drain, then powered up with the the power adapter plugged in. I used CMW to reset the battery stats on boot, and now the battery meter is working like I'd expect.
I also had the stuck 100% meter problem. I completely drained the battery, plugged it in, booted to CMW, reset the battery status, completely charged the batter (a few hours past when the green light came on), booted to CMW, and reset the battery status again. Now the battery meter seems to be reporting correctly.
Hope this helps others.

Battery life on the G Tablet
So what's the general consensus on battery life for G tablet? I thought mine was permanently stuck at 100%. I let it run out for about 10 hours and then it began to slowly decrease.
I thought it would die within a few hours after that at 90% or 80%... Well it lasted 25 hours with some moderate use in between and finally died at 23%. Still incorrect but 25 hours?
Total discharge worked for me.
I had this problem. I let the battery completely discharge until it shut off. Then, I completely recharged it while it was off. After that, the meter worked correctly.
Anybody else have an issue where it takes forever to charge the phone? The past few days I've been charging my phone overnight and it's only been hitting 85% and coming to a stop. I'm assuming its 100% but the display is lying to me, but I could be wrong.
I have the same issue. Even if I charge the battery on a dock still won't reach past 85

Seems like it just sits at 85 for a while, as if it's really 100 and just waiting to drop below 85 to update the status

Erm, that's how the phone works.
It charges to 100, then drains to 90, then back to 100, over and over. You're just not pulling it off when it's at 100%. It only sits at 100% for about 5 mins.
As for the 85% thing? That's not something I've seen before... Run it for a few minutes at 85%, see if it drops like normal. If it sits at 85% for too long, it's probably a display bug.
I am not having the same issue, but didn't want to start another battery charging issues thread. My evo3d isn't charging overnight. I will put it on the charger and it will show charging, but then when I wake up it will either be shut off or at something like 12% . I am (currently) on infected eternity 1.41 no tweaks. Taints kernel oc'd to 1.44. Does anyone have any ideas?

The kernel is panicking and shutting your phone off, try another kernel or stop ocing your kernel until after phone is charged.

I'll give it a try then report back
you can also try battery calibration app. shows the batt % and voltage and lets your recalibrate on the fly if your rooted. but yeah the batt will charge and discharge. if it's in discharge phase just unplug it and plug it back in and it'll start going back up.

So I bought SetCPU, and set up a profile for charging which is below the normal clock. This seemed to work as my phone charged all the way up last night. Thank you again.
I wonder why HTC did this. My EVO 3D won't charge to 100%, it will only charge to 99%. When I see the green light I thought it was fully charged but see it at 99%, so I leave it on my charging dock. Then I check later and it's down to 96%
This is my 3rd EVO. The previous EVO's did charge to 100%.
Try this. What ever your battery stops at unplug the charger and then plug it back in if you guys haven't already. This is what worked for me. Maybe it will for you as well.

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.

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.

As the app says, all it does it delete the batterystats file. Use root explorer and go delete /data/system/batterystats.bin and you accomplished the same thing as that "app"

I get the same thing.. and because the device doesn't die all the way(at about 1% it does a soft power off) I can't get it calibrated right.
I'm using senseless, and I think it is more than the battery stats file.. tonight it was at 40%, started bootlooping for no apparent reason.. pulled the battery, rebooted and it said it was at 13%.
It has been a solid rom in a lot of senses(pun?), but I may try something else because of the quirks it has been having..

As the app says, all it does it delete the batterystats file. Use root explorer and go delete /data/system/batterystats.bin and you accomplished the same thing as that "app"

thats what was happening to me, i did a full wipe, using bulletproof, then calibrate, Im still testing but so far it reads fine, will update if everything is working fine in a couple of days.
another method is abit troublesome...
1. charge your phone battery till full (off mode)
2.when full unplug it, and open up the cover
3. take off the battery and left it there over 90sec or more..
4. put back the battery n bootup your phone.. it should calibrate..
if your battery is used too long it might your battery problem

I might try this. My battery indicator stays at 100% for like ten seconds or maybe longer then goes back down to 99%. Makes no sense lol

I'm only a two week owner of the Amaze, but I've found curious differences between the stock battery and the Anker (1900 mAh). First, the stock battery will remain at 100% for a fair length of time before starting to drop (sorry, I haven't quantified it, but it's easily half hour to 45 mins even after making a call or two). However, the Anker battery drops off of 100% pretty quickly, as little as 10 minutes without doing anything. Admittedly, I've cycled the stock battery a few more times than the Anker, and even Anker says it takes 4 to 5 full charge and discharges to reach best performance, but I don't recall the stock being that quick to drop even after the 1st full charge. I haven't used the Anker enough yet to have a feel of whether the Anker will last longer overall, though.
Off topic, but somewhat related - The Anker charger doesn't seem to charge the battery to a full 100% - either the Anker battery or the original. In both cases, as soon as I install the battery from the Anker charger, the Amaze meter indicates just 96%. I even left it plugged in for another hour after the light turned blue, but it didn't help. Not a biggie, just an observation.
BTW, I got this from someone else who had already posted it, but according to a Google Engineer it seems that resetting battery statistics doesn't help. Read about it here: http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer

exactly lol. my battery will stay at 100% (99% according to bulletproof) for a long time then once it drops it drops fast
I left my phone off while charging, and I'm having good results.. only weird thing is that it slowly flashes on and off the orange light and never shows green while powered *off* and on the charger.. I can't find anything that shows this is normal. Is it supposed to get to a green light when powered off and charging?

Hmmm. I would check this out! http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer
I didnt think it improved battery life, My phone just didn't read it correctly which wiping battery stats does fix!
For the past few days my battery has been charging to a max of 92%, whether or not I try unplugging the battery, leaving the phone on the charger, wiping battery stats, and doing all that I can to try to reset the battery stats.
Anyone have any idea?
UPDATE: My phone is still not charging past 92%, no matter how long I leave it on, or what I try to do to fix it. 4167mv max
I have a similar issue, it's been like that for a long time for me. What ROM/kernel are you running? It might fix it to completely drain it, charge it powered off, reinstall ROM/kernels when it is completely charged and reset battery.

drain it until it shuts off and then charge it all the way to 100%.
I too was having this issue after going from cm7 week 5, to week 8. I did what others were recommending and charged to what showed 4200mv, pulled the battery while still plugged in, put battery back in then after it showed 5%, turned it back on and Viola, 100% battery. Try it.
its most effective if you know your battery is fully charged, power it down, pull the battery, while the battery is pulled plug it into the power adapter, it will act like its starting to charge, but then instead of having a percentage, it will have a question mark. pull the power, put the battery back in, turn on, wipe battery stats in recovery and run with it...

I just started having this issue and cant wait to try it thanks for the suggestions.
when this happend on mine all i did was keep using it and it fixed itself. i ran it down maybe to 20% before I got to charge it again and it slowly creeped back up to 100%. took about a week.
I've had the problem, and have run the solution more times that I can count. But nothing ever fixes it permanently. Everytime I run the battery low, the levels get all screwy again. Maybe my phone is just worse than everyone else's, but I had to just give up on it. Would love a permanent solution, but so long as I'm running this ROM (CM7), I doubt I'll ever find one.

I'm in the same situation as you are... I had this problem for a long time now (Guess it has something to do with excessive flashing...) and no matter what kind of solution I do (Wipe battery stats via recovery, re-calibrate the battery, pull the battery out while charging and replugging it) it returns after a day or two.
I want to check if it has something to do with the battery or the device, and if I will remember to do so, I will plug my spare battery for several day's run, but that is subjected to me leaving the comfort of my usual laziness....
Would love if there was a permanent solution as well, thou I doubt that too....
I've had the same problem on a number of different roms and at different times. I find that instead of mucking around wiping stats etc, it has always come good eventually for me.

Didn't really understand what you meant, did the battery percentage fixed by itself and gave you 100% at full charge on one day? out of the blue?
Or did you just got used to have less then 100% battery display?

First let the battery completely drain and the phone shut down by it self. Second step is to pull out the battery and leave it out for 10min, after that take a plastic bag and put the battery in it and place it in the freezer for 15min. after this palce the battery again in the mobile. make sure there is no any moisture on the battery. Then charge the phone without power on till 100%.
By following these steps this will made your battery to charge fully and more talk time

Um correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but doesn't cold kill the battery and shorten its life? I remember my mom always putting new batteries in the fridge and them only lasting a couple days compared to the ones left out that lasted a month or so with same use.

Haha, I got a good laugh out of this one -- you've got to be joking.
I've had this problem for a quite a while now with the Atrix and two different batteries. I've tried dozens of combination of resetting the battery stats, running the battery completely down, and powering up without the battery and hot swapping it in. The hot swap definitely allows me to finally recharge to 100%, but once I run it down again, the problem returns. I've learned to just live with the less than 100% reading -- battery still seems to last a full 24 hours for me.

That trick hasn't worked since nicad batteries in the 90s, and is a really bad idea with our Li-PO.
Drain the battery till the phone shuts off, charge back up while the phone is off.
If it still doesn't get to 100%, boot into CWM, wipe battery stats and power off the phone to let it charge again.
^^ I know it works because I've done this like 2 days ago, and many times before that.
I have had this issue as well for a very long time. I've tried the pull out, question mark, 5% thing and it usually only works for one cycle, then the next only goes to 97%, then the next to 93%, then 90%, and it continually goes down until I have to do it again. Hopefully a permanent fix can be found soon. I've tried clearing battery stats, draining it to 0%, then charging it fully. I've tried everything. As far as I'm concerned, there's no fix as of right now.
Thanks man this worked like charm of 100 witches and 100 warlocks having orgy and satin worship

★ATTENTION! I FOUND THE FIX!★
Turn phone off and plug it in to a wall charger. Charge it until your notification light turns green, quickly tap the power button to check battery level. (Usually shows 90%) If the notification light turns on, but the battery indicator is not at 100%, unplug phone, take out battery and put it back in. Now plug your phone. It should be 100% now. For the final fix: go into "Android Recovery" and select "Mounts". Mount Your SD card and Emmc. Finally wipe battery stats. Reboot phone.
This method worked for me. I am 100% sure this is the fix for this problem. This has to be done every time you flash a new rom or when your phone freezes and you screw up calibration by pulling the battery while it is still on. BTW, this is my first post so don't be mean to me!
