So I have tried several times to calibrate my new 3500mAH battery. I always drain to fast and sit at 1% for about 7 or 8 hours. I am getting frustrated that it drains so fast cause then I am left with not knowing when my phone is gonna die...

Anyone notice if theres an improvements, or worse, decreases in battery life
I feel its a bit worse, i'm at 7 hour usage and down to 20% already, have nothing to compare too however, so was hoping someone else was monitoring battery performance in 2.3.4 compared to stock
Thanks
i feel the battery life is pretty good considering im a very heavy user! took it of the charger at 8 this morning, its 4pm now and ive been on it all day and im down to 40 percent! if it was on 2.2 it be dead already! just my observation
you need to calibrate the battery.
download battery calibrate by Nema from market.
put phone for charging on wall plug.
wait until it reached 4200mV.
do not unplug the charger.
Hit calibrate.
Done..!!
unplug the charger.
Root required.
I just picked up a spare battery and was curious to hear some opinions on what would affect the battstats the most.
Would the stats and battery drain be less accurate if I were to bump charge multiple times a day, or if I swapped out batteries when needed?

What my girlfriend and I have noticed is at the beginning multi battery straight swaps aren't that bad. Over time though the stats get bad and charge life BLOWS GOATS. Also on another note I purchased an extended battery 3600mAh and that thing sucked horse malarkey! To get it to fully charge we had to use an external charger. when u put it on the phone it rocked at 100% for about 30 minutes then dropped to like 15%, then 5%, then sat at 1% for 16-48 hours straight depending how it was charged. The ongoing low battery notification was just too annoying so we tossed it.
Overall a single battery is your best bet but a secondary battery will get you by in a pinch. That's how her an I both roll now and seem to get much better battery life with a single battery.

I'm wondering If someone knows about batteries for our Folio 100? maybe any with more mAh than the original?

I'd like to know that too!
I found some baterys on ebay...... they looked kind of "strange" so I decided to keep searching.... nothing so far
Where
Where I can buy a battery for my Folio?
I found some batteries on ebay at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Ori...8-battery-PA3836U-1BRS-PABAS238-/270859820087 . On contacting the seller he said that the batteries were original Toshiba manufactured (or made by their OEM for batteries), and thus had original Toshiba labeling. However, the battery was identical to the existing one, not a larger capacity battery. Any found larger capacity batteries?
Battery life fix from 2,5 hours to 5,5 hours!
I bought a used folio and in the original OS it had battery life of 2,5 hours after couple of complete charges. I then installed ICS CM9 and no change in battery life, the device shut itself off after 2,5 hrs.
Well after Googling I decided to try the battery stats reset in CWM. After 100% charge I did the battery stats reset in CWM and went to ICS to test the battery. After about 2,5 hours battery meter was showing 6%. 3hrs still 6%. 4hrs still 6%. 5hrs still 6%. Only after about 5,5hrs it dropped to 5% and about 15mins after that it was 1% and my device shut itself off. What an improvement! And I was using wlan and watching videos etc practically the whole time!
To fix the battery meter showing 6% for several hours I have used the device many times from 100% to lower than 6% and then charging the folio with power on. Now it shows 6% only for 45mins or so and I bet after couple more cycles it will be perfect! Then ill run it to 0% once more to be sure to make use of the whole battery.
So before you buy a new battery this is definately worth a try.
PS. You don't want to drain the battery to 0 % very often because this too will have a negative effect on battery life. Maybe once every 20 cycles is ok.
Wow, I'll try to reset it on CWM and see what happens. With a normal use is lasting about 3 hours before shutting down.
Do you have news for battery?
Thank you in advance.
Ive been having a weird battery issue. my battery gauge will say its at 15% or whatever it says at the time. ill plug it in and like 10 minutes later it will say 100% battery is fully charged. Obviously its not 100%, even when I charge it overnight, when I unplug it itll be stuck at 100% for like 2 hours then all the sudden drop to like 85%. im lucky if my battery lasts 12 hours now , same thing has happened on different roms. Do I need a new battery?

I'd try a different ROM/Kernel, see if that makes any difference (after clearing batterystats in CWM).
If that wouldn't help, I'd say battery is ze dead.

tried differents and kernels, and wiped battery stats guess my battery is done
try "battery calibration" app. it helps me a lot, and keep my phone running longer. i can last almost a day with medium use.
i have also tested with on screen non-stop (wifi + online game that require wifi, brightness roughly around 30%, medium volume, with whatsapp and talkbox in between), in conclusion, i can run for 4hours plus straight with sufficient battery left. i never push it through, i think i can go for 5 hours if i want to.
battery calibration app can be found in play google store
Worst battery life evah!
Im having issue with my battery as well, I plug it in a electric outlet for about an hour last night and when i saw the charge, it was only like 49%!!!!
And today, before my meeting it was like 22%, after an hour of meeting, BOOM! EMPTY BATT! What I only did was surf and checked my calendar!
It charge slow! And its draining fast!
something happened to my battery before last month, when i charge my fone it says 88% then suddenly after few mins 1 or 2 it become fully charge,but when i unplug my charger it comes back to 88% again, i tried some apps like battery calibration and also i'm wiping the battery stats in cwm everytime i flashed a new rom and it helps my battery charge in normal and accurate level...i'm using also cpu spy to checked if my fone is going to a deep sleep. now my battery lasts for 1day 11hrs with light usage. but for heavy usage i've got 40% after 4hrs of continious hd gaming.
Whenever I change the original battery of my Redmi 1s with a Nohon replacement one, with same settings the standby drain goes from 1% every 3hr to 1.5% every 1 hour, thats over 4 times worse standby performance. Looking at battery stats when the Nohon battery is in, the phone is kept awake alot by Android (around 1hr for every 4hr standby). However the battery performs better in actual usage, if I play a game for 30minutes the Nohon loses a bit less percentage. I can replicate the problem over and over again whenever I change the battery back to 3 year old original, stanby drain stops and awake time by Android stops rising.
Its supposed to be one of the best brands for replacement batteries so why is it causing this standby drain issue, is this normal when you change a battery on any android phone and do most people just not notice it?
bump
bump, is it worth buying another replacement battery or is this something that normally happens with replacement batteries?
