Can anyone think of why my battery consistently, every time it gets low, jumps from 24 to 14%? Never 23 to 14% or 24 to 13%, but always 24 to 14%. And it always jumps. It never goes 24 to 23 to 22, but 24 to 14. Every damn time.
Try calibrating your battery?

I agree with this guy + you should reset the battery stats in your recovery.
Alright, now I need to get off topic for just a minute. What's up with your sig dude?

Ugh to the above posters. Battery stats are not used for reporting battery percent. Calibrating the battery is also BS.
Do you have a 1% battery icon? Most 15% battery icons jump like that. Have you tried battery monitor or something similar to track your actual charge over time?
To check if it's just an icon problem ... you can pull your framework-res.apk(/system/framework/framework-res.apk) and unzip it. Look in res/drawable-hdpi and/or drawable-xhdpi. There are a series of files stat_sys_batteryXX.png where XX is a number. Do you have anything in between 24 and 14?

Agree that wiping battery stats is BS. We know that now.
It's not about the battery icon, I don't think. I use battery monitor, and I waited until I had 5 instances of this happening in battery monitor (I can post the logs) before posting this thread. It happens every time in both the icon and battery monitor.

Would anyone be interested in creating a 100% transparent lock screen slider?
I think it would create a nice clean minimalistic look on are phones. I had it on my old droid X. Only way currently to do so on droid X2 is to used widget locker which I have purchased, but it seems to drain batt significantly since it is all way running.
If some one is able to do this it would be sweet, and not be a drain.
Moved to proper forum.
I have been using widget locker for months now. I don't see any batter drain. I get 20-30 hours on a single charge with normal usage. Have you actually looked at your battery stats and seen anything more than a 2% drain? Also, what did you have on the lock screen itself? Did you have a lot of widgets running?

On widget locker I only use clear lockscreen and time. On my regular home screens I use launcher pro plus. Its configured to use 3 screens. One has lpp bookmarks widget. 2 has be weather pro widget and lpp Calender at bottom. 3 has lpp messaging widget and Google voice inbox widget. I don't think that's too much.
My normally useage is surfing three or four sites a day and checking the x2 forums within the sites. About 4 5 to 10 min phone calls.
I've cleared batt stats several times and checked usage a couple days later and if I add up all the percentages on the screen and divide them by he's I tend to get 3% or more and hour. I've seen it as high as six%

Right now after 5 he's and 20 min I have 73% phone idle. 13% cell standby. Display 12%. Browser 2%. My phone idle is always very high I don't understand why.
2.3.4 Eclipse 1.2RC1
I am using ADW Launcher EX with ADW Notifier, 3 screens (7 widgets: Twitter, G+, FB, Google Music v4, Digital Clock, Google Search, YouTube), Widget Locker with 4 sliders and a digital clock.
85% Battery Remaining
5 Hours 5 Minutes 53 Seconds on Battery:
47% Phone Idle
17% Display
9% Mediaserver
9% Music
9% Cell Standby
5% WiFi
3% Android OS
I cooked a big lunch this afternoon, about an hour in the kitchen/grill with Google Music v4 playing the entire time.
How can I figure out why my phone idle is so damn high. I suspected that to be my problem but couldn't figure what the heck it is. Im on the atrix port which shouldnt make things that drastically different. It seems like you use your phone more as well.
Well, the phone idle % represents the amount of time you are not using your phone. So phone idle will always be a dominant percent unless you are constantly using it. That doesn't mean it is eating your battery power. What % was your battery at that same time?
If you use your phone less than me, and at 5 hours you are at <75-80% and phone idle is still high then you have a lot of background processes eating up power. I mean, I leave my WiFi antenna on, unless I am driving or somewhere I know I wont get WiFi and I will had 85% while using it for Music for an hour.

I use battery calibration from the market from mariosaige. You can also do it in recovery from the same place you would wipe davlik cache and fix permissions. The specific name of the section in recovery has slipped my mind right now.

No, no. What it is saying is if you battery is 85% at 5 hours, of the 15% battery drain 73% of it was due to phone idle. They are just telling your percents of percents lol. To put it in easier terms, assume the battery is calculated in 100 units instead of %, so out of 100 units you are down to 85 units. 73% of that loss is Phone Idle, meaning, you did nothing on your phone probably the majority of the time. If you see significant overall loss(in units) while your Idle % is high, you have too many background process' that are abusing the battery.
Also, keep in mind, 2.3.4 has erratic battery reporting on most devices right now. It may say 65% when you really have 80% or vice versa.

I'm back on attic port now. How do I figure out how much is lost per hour. People have said 2 to 3 % is normal.
I have never used the Atrix ports. I would assume in settings you should still have a battery settings area. If not, hit up the dev that ported the rom and see if you can find an alternative way.

"Battery Calibration" works well. I usually leave the phone plugged in about 30 minutes after it indicates full before calibrating. After calibration, I also think it is helpful to let it run all the way down and recharge to full without interruption, as suggested by this app. The times that I have done that, I have let the battery drain down with normal use, rather than accellerating the drain with high-engergy consuming processes. I don't seem to be having the problems that others have reported since the GB 2.3.4 update - especially beyond the frist day or two after flashing a new ROM update.
FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ibration&hl=en
BATTERY CALIBRATOR - 47 KB size
2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
3. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
4. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
5. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
6. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.
ENJOY! Hope this helps!
Even Google confirmed that deleting that one file has nothing to do with battery drain,its just place where phone saves battery using from apps.

Surprisingly this issue continues to be resolved by simply following this easy trick. Worked for me, hence I shared it. Worked for good many other people. I don't see the explanation for that. As long as it fixes someone's headache, it's helpful.
You should charge your phone as often as possible. That's good for the battery.

me to surely it will shorten the life of the battery quicker than waiting for the battery to nearly flat i.e ~10% or less before you do recharge it

Letting Lithium Ion get to low charges then charging it will decrease battery life, you can leave them plugged in a charger and it will be fine, just like when you leave your laptop plugged in or leaving a UPS plugged in.

actually what battery calibration really do is it makes battery percentage display on status bar more "accurate".
when you flash a new rom, old battery data is not deleted so it will be inaccurate (ex: showing 52% on status bar when your battery is at 30%)
therefore, calibration doesn't improve battery life :laugh:
Ive heard of it before. keeping your battery level between 60% and 80% help prolong your battery's lifespan.

It kinda does improve your battery life, because for instance your phone is reading 10% while the phone actually have 30% then the phone may shut down anytime because it think it has low power.
help me please
Hi I am ray
I bought a new note 4 a month ago
I needed to root it badly but I cant find any proper way, so I flashed a prerooted custom rom called nameless rom v7. It is perfect in performance yet my battery charges to a maximum 87% and when it reaches 13% my device powers off...I tried calibration and clearing dalvik and reflashing rom abd buying a new battery but none had solved my problem. Please help me. My email is (but dont publish it or abuse it) wwwwwwward8 at gmail . com (since website dont allow me to post an email full) seeking help from you. And thanks in advance. And by the way I ama game hacker so if u help me get this solved I will let u chose any game 4 me 2 hack and get it as a reward
Hi.
I have used lots of roms to find out what the problem was but did not solved it.
My battery drains from 100 to 85 very very fast.
I mean 10 percent in 1 hour :crying:
No matter what kernel or rom i use.
Then again it wont go to 100 percent its like 96-97.
Is there a fix ?
I already bought a new battery and a new charger.
Same results with the charger of my wife s3 mini.
anyone have a suggestion before i trow it away and buy a note 2 ?

Its idle as i am on wifi and mobile date it both suck..
Nothing strange to see with better battery stats.
EDIT : i pulled the battery for 10 minutes and charged it with phone off.
It looks like its not losing percents now,
The only problem is why it not goes to 100 percent.
I installed the rom this morning.
Does it automaticly goes to 100 after a few charges?
And it started to drain again.
Anyone have a clue ?

Check Your Battery Stats. .. download a battery stats app and check which app is causing the most drainage. .. There was a media scanner bug sometime back. . Maybe It's That. . If It Is, There Are Fixes For It Here. Good luck :thumbup:

Try BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. BBS is better but not free. I use this. i have a widget on my homescreen at all times.
You may just need to go through a full charge cycle to get it to 100%. It's just that the new ROM thinks that 100% is 97%. A couple of charges / drains will sort it.

I removed my sd card now and see if it will help.
Thanks for the answer for the 100 percent :good::good:
Solved!
I flashed the original rom with a different version of odin then i used before.
Its seems to be very stable now the battery.
The only problem is i dont want to flash custom rom because im affraid it will start again!
Thanks for thinking with me guyz ! :good:
I don't mind it if it's off by a couple percentage, but to be way off like this is just stupid. It rushes down to the low battery warning, then it stays there for the longest time. Today, it said there was 2% left for roughly 3 hours. How do I know? I was playing a game till around 4:45pm when it said 2% battery life remaining. Then, see the screenshots.
During this time where it said my battery life was at 2%, I did nothing but text. I must have sent and received around 100 text messages or notification ringtones.

It supposedly gets wiped every time you charge the battery to 100%... But I guess I'll get it another try.

Been a bit over 2 weeks now since wiping them. They're going crazy again. "5%" left for the longest time.

Didn't one thread satisfy your needings?
Just Google it. In the past your phone had to has root. I'm not sure about now, if there are any rootless apps for battery calibration.
Take one of the application on the internet and fully charge your phone, delete battery stats with such an app and deplete battery to 0% without any recharching inbetween.
You have to battery cycle it basically 100 to 0 percent then 0 to 100 percent. Twice

Since you seem to be doing it again, I can give you one solution. After hitting save, open another tab in your browser and visit the same thread. If your post is available there, you need not hit save again. If it is not there, then you hit save again.
Usually on the first hit, your post is sent to the website and properly saved. The delay is in reloading the page. Basically this is what you check as per directions above.
No no no, you have to charge it to 100% then let it go to 10%, then rub ur belly in a circular motion whilst tapping on your head.

Perhaps it is a myth. But when I bought my Poco F1 late 2018, it used to show about 32+ hours of charge remaining after a full charge, and the charge typically did last that long, or even longer. Today, after a full charge, it shows about 35 to 45 hours left after a full charge, and the charge actually lasts only between 12 to 20 hours. That is irritating. Is there something that can be done for this? (Battery time left as reported by Settings->Battery & performance)
TIA
