Wondering if there's a way to turn off the low battery led in cyanogenmod settings or if ill need to get a market app to do it...which id rather not. Im using an extended battery..the 1800..and even though iv tried calibrating the battery and wiping battery stats in bsr..the phone wont recognize the larger battery so it counts down to 1% then stays there blinking at me for another 9 hrs. I am happy to be getting a full day out of a charge now when b4 i was lucky to make it 12 hrs.

Sorry, I don't think there is. You will have to download ADJ brightness.

my battery drops about 10% an hour in my pocket....
when i look at battery usage it say my screen caused 70+% of my draining.
How can my screen drain so much when its only been on less than 1 min....
downloaded different roms stock 2.1, stock 2.2, 2.2 superclean.
All drain extremely fast and my battery manager keeps on saying its my screen..
Its on automatic settings!!!!
do i need to calibrate my battery? thanks in advance.
edit*
could this be a wakelock?
When you reset batt stats, it just adjusts it so the percentage is "correct", it won't affect the drain
im almost positive its wakelock....do you know how i could fix that?
*edit*
looked up spare parts and it is not wakelock......i dont understand why my screen is eating so much battery while its not even on!
10% an hour just sleeping!!!!!!! 25-35% while surfing the web, this is lame.
Today I disabled the ambient light sensor and just went back to adjusting brightness manually. 13 hours after unplugging from the wall and I'm at 50 percent.
I also have auto rotation turned off.

turned auto rotation off and rebooted my phone a total of 3 times after installing my rom.
now after 2.5hrs im at 95%!!! The screen does not drain my battery anymore when sleeping....but if im using my screen my battery still depletes extremely fast. like 5% every 30min. still it will last me more than enough for 18hrs with moderate usage. problem solved, but don't know how. rebooting did the trick...

I'd pay good money for battery life like that. Mine is running superclean 2.92 and it'll die with screen on within 3 hours every time.
What ROM are you running? Radio version? kernel?

my phone was at 50% in sleep within 4 hours this morning!! amazing.
I'm getting horrible battery life too. Been searching for an answer. My display is using 90 percent of my
Battery in my pocket?

Check to see if your GPS is on, I'm using SC and voodoo kernel, was getting phenominal battery life until a couple days ago, phone wouldn't sleep. After banging my head against the wall for an hour or so it came to me that I had used google maps to see if it would lock my location and forgot to turn GPS off after. Shut GPS down and all is good now!
Last night I was have force close issues with a game so i did a soft reset(took battery out) and to my surprise it powered back on to 3% battery life. I lost over 60% battery life doing a soft rest.So i quiclky threw it on the charger and left it there all night. I woke up this morning afrer 8 hours of charging to only 28% battery life. I unplugged it and plugged it back in verified it was charging and took a shower and all that when I was finished and ready for work I looked at phone still charging and unplugged it and still only 28% battery life. Anybody else see this problem?
Try an actual reboot? Try to let the battery die and see what happens? Lastly did you try a hard reset?
Yes, I suspect the battery is not really down. Today I had the phone on charger, when I went to unplug I hit the button to wake up the phone and it said only 5% remaining and to plug it into the charger. I then unplugged and went into the battery widget and it said 99%, WTF. Once before it was fully charged, took it off the charger an in a minute or so it was dead, put it back on the charger and it took forever for it to get to 27% but as soon as it hit 29% it went straight to 100% instantly. I suspect the software.
There are a lot of people reporting similar battery issues. You might download battery monitor widget and put battery temps in the notifications bar because you might be having high battery temps, which can fry a battery. Some people have had batteries replaced but I'm not sure it isn't a general software issue with charging. Hopefully the upcoming update will take care if this.
Is there a good solution or quick way to see the actual % of the battery?
I always use battery life for accurate temp and % since the hero days

Are you running a custom rom? Might be a software issue when reporting the battery life. Could try a hard reset to verify.
How are you guys getting the battery to show in 1% increments?

There's various battery widgets on the market. I use batter monitor widget. It has a notificationbar display you can use without turning on the recording function.

Cool, thanks. I've been using battstatt pro and battery indicator pro and they just mimic the MoPho's displaying usage in 10's. I'll try the battery monitor widget.
Battery monitor widget was only showing in %10 increments for me.

Morning, I'm a Sprint Product Ambassador supporting the Launch of the Photon4G,
The app I'm using to monitor my battery in 1%'s is Battery Circle in the market by Adrian Ulrich, it is a taskbar widget so can be viewed in any screen.
You can also use Minimalistic Text to output an exact Battery % as well to place on the home screen or lock screen.

You have to turn on the 1% function in the settings.
I'm on Axura 2.2.7.2 and have horrible battery life no matter what battery I use.
For example, my battery percent is at 63% right now:
4h 48m 38s since unplugged
Display 90%
WiFi 5%
Cell Standby 3%
Phone idle :1%
The weird thing is that I don't really use it a lot either. I used it for maybe 20 minutes max. Talked on the phone for 5 minutes, made about 10 texts, and checked the time from my phone thats it.
Also, I'm using Zeam launcher, could that be the problem?
Please give me some tips on how to maximize my battery life.
You have to calibrate your battery. Download Battery Calibration from the market first, then kill your phone all to like 5%. Charge your phone all the way up to 100%
Then click on the calibrate button on the Battery Calibration app. You should be good after that. Make sure your unplug after calibrating and die the phone down again, and then charge is back to 100%

please go to settings / about phone / battery use and post what is consuming most of your battery so we can help u better knowing what the problem is.
there are a lot of ways of improving battery. the best 4 me so far is a custom kernel that allows undervolting which helps a lot without affecting performance. underclocking if u want to go the extra mile, and lowering brightness helps too since our screens are battery hogs.

Battery Life Help
Under Volting does not work for me...Making sure I run the battery down all the way and charge it full most of the time especially after deleting battery stats.
my neo's battery has suddenly gone out of calibration. it shows 20% battery when its actually zero and when charged stays at 100% for quite some time. iv tried many apps to check the battery level bt they all tell me that theres still 20% left when its actually zero and the fone shuts down and then starts charging from 20% when connected to the charger. its running stock 4.0.2.a.0.42. any idea whats wrong with it?
also where can i get a copy of the .62 global firmware to update using flashtool?

try battery test from service menu via *#*#SERVICE#*#*
Battery calibration is a myth (https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT). Try disconnecting and reconnecting the battery after a few seconds, helped me when I had a drop of 30 to switching itself off in a course of few minutes.
@OP:have you installed any app for show status of battery like battery indicator, or any other app which is related to battery or charging?
I had similar problems(10% shuts down) with battery indicator.
I ran the battery test from the service menu bt didnt let it finish..still it did the trick..its ok now

Having issues with roms lately. Some roms won't even give me 2 hours of battery life. (Maybe 4 hours even in standby!!)
Talked to Motorola over the phone they think maybe it's the battery, they sent me a free one but I still have the same issues.
Sometimes I look at my phone and it has already been drained. Then I see that standby has taken up 75% of the battery. Like wtf lol.
So the question is, what is the best ROM for battery life?
Thanks.
Neutrino v2.9
Make sure you install bluesleep fix if the rom you are using doesn't have it....
For me the best results have: "old" ALIEN and CM7 !!!
CM7 - 1day and 27minutes with 7hours and 28minutes screen on (30-35% luminoziti)
Sorry for english!
Atrix - "CM7"
Seeing as it happens with every ROM, you may try to calibrate your battery, it may help. Download 'Battery Calibration' app from the Play Store and follow the in-app instructions. I always calibrate mine after changing ROMs exactly because problems like yours happened to me in the past.

That app does not calibrate the battery. All it does reset the previous battery usage graphic table.

But it helps. If I don't do it, after 2~3 flashes of different ROMs I start to have huge drops (staying at ~80% for 6 hours, then instantly dropping to 20%) or the system misreads the actual battery capacity (turning off with at least 30% battery remaining, for example).
Have you tried wiping battery stats?...
Charge the phone as far as it will go (lets say over night)(also if you need to plug the phone into the charger after it has charged over night without the battery in it so you get he battery with a question mark, then put the battery in and it should show like 5% battery or something then let that charge as long as it will, which is usually around 15% if i remember correctly), then wipe battery stats in cwm or whatever way you prefer. Reboot the phone and use it until it is completely dead (0% battery and the phone shuts itself off and wont turn back on, but do not try to drain the battery using video loops or anything, just use it like you normally do. Then charge it up to 100% but do not turn it on, let it stay on the charging screen until it gets to 100% and dont use or unplug it at all. It should take longer to get from 99% to 100%, just be patient Hopefully that solves the issue.
