,this is how i calibrate my battery,before i have 45min of standby it will decrease from 100% to 99% but now it is 2hours & 34min before it go from 100% to 99%,i felt the drain after 2 weeks of overusing my phone (1week playing paladog and 1 week flashing different roms,kernels and theming my phone with different launchers),
- Charge your phone to 100% while it’s on.
- Unplug it from the charger, power off, then charge for 15 minutes with it in a powered off state.
- Unplug charger from phone. Power it on, and then charge 15 minutes while the phone is on.
- Calibrate battery using battery calibration by NéMa then unplug charger reboot.
- Power on, charge for 15 minutes then unplug.
- Finished.
note: deleting battery stats(calibrating) don't increase your batterylife said by others and it is just a placeboo and i believe in them,but it fix my battery drain so why don't we give it a try,there is nothing to lose,battery drain is so annoying.
,thanks to NéMa for the awesome apps,
,thanks to jgezau for his thread as my reference,

That was from LEWA OS, one of the best rom at that time...:good:
First and foremost, a Google engineer debunked the idea that batterystats.bin has anything to do with how the phone charges. By deleting it, you're actually inconveniencing yourself, as there will be a short period in which you won't have accurate stats.
Secondly, the O1 has a lithium ion battery. Lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries don't need to be calibrated, as they have no "memory" effect (you can read more on that here).
Moreover, these batteries have built in charge circuits that protect and regulate the battery. Ever wonder how the phone knows the battery temperature? It's pulling it off the charge circuit. That same circuit also prevents the battery from ever being overcharged or discharged fully, which is why that convoluted guide about calibrating your battery by draining it to "empty" and then recharging it to full doesn't work. Worse yet, intentionally draining your battery is actually counter-intuitive, as lithium-based cells wear more as their percentage of discharge increases (you'd be hurting the battery in your effort to calibrate it).
Your instructions aren't detrimental, so if it works for you, go for it. However, based on my understanding of these batteries, it seems to me that this procedure is inconsequential.
Besides, a new battery for the O1 is only $6 USD on Amazon or Ebay.

Hi everyone,
Im running cherryblur 1.4d obviously rooted and unlocked. I've been running it like this for over a month now and its been great but a week ago my phone stopped charging up to 100% when I let it charge overnight. It reaches 90% and stops. I have a charger that charges the phone and an extra battery at the same time and it has worked great since I got it and the only way to get the batteries to go to 100 is to take the batteries out of the phone and put 5hem to charge in the battery slot. Please help me guys. Its not the battery because I have another battery and it won't charge fully either. I'm going crazy with this I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything
Charge your phone to its fullest capacity (I guess that would be ~90 for you)
Wipe battery stats in recovery, reboot.
Let the battery drain completely, until the atrix shuts off. Watch a bunch of videos or something.
Recharge back to full capacity, hopefully 100%

You might also want to try charging the battery with the phone switched off, when it reaches 100% remove the battery and wait for the no battery icon to appear on the screen. Then re-insert the battery and leave to charge for another hour or so.
After doing this, boot into CWM and clear the battery stats. This should fix your problem.

Mine won't charge to full unless I'm using the charger that came with it, ALL other chargers stop at 95-98%.

Make sure the other chargers are kicking out at least 700ma the moto charger kicks out 850ma.
Any less than 700ma and you'll not get a full charge, a lot of 3rd party chargers only 500ma which will not work too well.

^ This. Most people don't realize that they can't use just any charger with some phones, this phone being one of them. It requires a certain amount of juice running through it to charge properly, which is why if it's dead it won't charge from a USB port.

Thank you guys I'm in the process of trying the first suggestion I'll see if it charges fully tonight
Also if you are swapping batteries, the battery stats will continuously get messed up. It will be trying to configure the two as one and that could make this a reoccurring problem for you
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Oh that could be it as well because the second battery I got drains quickly (or it shows that way) and spends the other half of the battery life (8~10hrs) at 1%
Ok guys turning it off and charging fully and then unplugging and plugging again, and wiping battery stats after worked perfectly. Thank you!
For anyone who has this problem you can wipe battery stats with the battery calibrator program or in CWM and then you must drain the battery after wiping the stats.
When I charge my phone it only charges to 99%. I'll leave it in for a while, come back and it's only at 99%. Either charging in the wall, or on the computer. It used to make it to 100% then all of a sudden it just stays at 99% regardless how long it charges. So the charging light always stays on and never lets me know when it's fully charged.
Any idea why?
Thanks.
Mine does that too once in a while, randomly.
But the Sensation would do that to randomly.
Dunno why.
Battery is strange...
I get that too. But eventually it will get to 100%. There has been times where it was charged to 100% then suddenly drop to 99% even though it still plugged in.
Did you get your phone recently? I'm thinking its because the battery needs to be conditioned.
Mines always does that, as soon as I unplug it it jumps to 98%. Im hoping ARHD fixes this
I've installed Battery Widget (from Market) and it reports 100%. I plug in every night and in the morning it reads 100%.

New Amaze Android Revolution HD ROM by mike1986?
This happens with many devices. I have not seen this yet on my Amaze but I am sure at some point it will happen. Try turning the phone off and charging it to 100% then power it on also try running the battery all the way down and letting it charge to full UNINTERRUPTED over night. If those dont help you can always try another rom with better battery management or go into a t-mobile store and get a battery replacement if your battery is still under warranty. Hope this helps
HTC does this on a lot of phones. It is a safety default to keep the battery healthy and safe. I had this issue with the Evo. The only way to fully charge a battery is to have other a wall charger or a SBC kernel.
its the best sense rom known to man in my opinion.

My stock battery is 3.8v, and it only goes to 100% if I charge it in the phone. If I use my wall charger, it shows up at 99% when I put it back in my phone. I have two aftermarket batteries that show about 98% when charged from the wall. I am thinking that the phone charging circuit is set for 3.8v, and might possibly overheat the aftermarket batteries (3.7v). I saw one review that said these batteries melted the top of his SIM card. I'm not planning on trying that; I use the stock, charging every night, and swap the spares in if I run out of charge during the day.
I just remember hearing the same stories when I had my evo. You could charge for hours and unplug it and it would almost immediately drop to 99 or 98. So my previous statement may or may not help.
I charged mine over nite and woke up to it being 99%, left it for another hour or two and it hit 100%. I would say to leave it a little longer to get that last 1%.

I find that if my phone its powered off while charging, it shows 100. If powered on, it shoes 99.
Sent from my Dell Streak 7 using xda premium
this is normal for lithium ion batteries...it also depends how the manufacturer perceives the battery...some manufeacturers say that your phone is 100 percent but it might only be around 95-98...overcharging lithium ions are bad...also some manufacturers say you have 10 percent left while you might actually have 15 or maybe to percent left...this is a fail safe method to shut off the phone and keep the battery from draining completely WHICH IS REALLY REALLY BAD FOR LITHIUM IONS...OVER CHARGING THE BATTERY IS BAD TOO...perhaps htc's thresh holds are a little different and actual to the real battery life.
also not a good idea to use your phone or any lithium ion device while its charging
powering off your phone to charge it overnight is the best idea to give you lithium ion a long life but this is not practical. this is why it says 100 percent when you turn off the phone and 99 when you're phone is off....it confuses the phone: " A portable device must be turned off during charge. This allows the battery to reach the set threshold voltage unhindered, and enables terminating charge on low current. A parasitic load (which means using phone or turning screen on while its charging) confuses the charger by depressing the battery voltage and preventing the current in the saturation stage to drop low. A battery may be fully charged, but the prevailing conditions prompt a continued charge. This causes undue battery stress and compromises safety."

First and foremost...lets get this out of the way..if u want more battery life..get a newer more powerful battery...thats the best option..
But if you still wanna stick with your current battery and still want improvements..here is a little something i want to tell you..
Obviously you might have searched about how to improve and come across the method known as calibration.. this is the method as described by one of our members..
nickrule1896 said:
Steps:
1. Before flashing a new rom, use root explorer (with read/write set) to delete the file "batterystats.bin" stored in /data/system/.
2. Charge your phone with it being turned off.
3. After it is fully charged(100%), take out its battery without plugging off the power supply.
4. Wait for a few moments, and a ? sign will appear.
5. Put your battery back in. You should see that the battery percentage increases quickly to 60%. If it increases to 100% with seconds, please skip to step 6.
6. If it stops increasing at 60%, let the phone continue to charge until 100%(takes quite a while)
7. Once it reaches 100%, let it charge for a further 15-20 minutes.
8. Once that's done, you can boot to OpenRecovery and flash your rom!!!
Alternative way of calibration(thanks a lot zeppelinrox!!!):

If you dont believe me...then read this post..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460553
and subsequently read this post by Google Engineer Dianne Hackborn(funny surname i tell u) and you'll finally believe Battery calibration is just a myth..unless ofcourse you dont believe you know more about Android than the people who designed it
https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
As is mentioned.. "It has no impact on your battery life" !!!
So...BATTERY CALIBRATION IS JUST A MYTH!!! Still...if you dont believe me..continue following your stupid practices..
Coming onto bump charging...
When your phone shows u fully charged it is actually charged only till 90-95% and thus u may experience a sudden decrease in battery %age after u unplug the charger...
The method for bump charging as you ardent ritualists may already know is as follows..
" Phone on, charge to full
Shut Phone off, charge to full
Phone back on, charge to full, use like normal. "
The main disadvantage of this is that it increases your battery voltage...Also in some case of sudden overvoltage while charging this can damage your battery...what for? 5% increase...
also..all that extra heat is bad for the lithium batteries...
Therefore 95% battery is good enough for daily use
so..if you really want to improve battery life...dump all these methods and just buy a more powerful battery and give it a month to give you proper results..all new batteries require at most a month to work to their full potential...
P.S. : come to think of buying a new battery...this idea may be very helpful to you if you do happen to own a Galaxy NOTE..

If this is all a myth, and I'm none the wiser, why is my battery percentage all over the place? For example, went on a hike listening to music etc. Ran the battery out. Got home, plugged into charger, turned on and it said I had 46% though when I first plugged it (while off) the battery symbol showed obviously barely anything.

Android is very....insensitive when it comes to battery .
Android keeps track of the battery using a permanently running Battery Service , which polls at a certaon interval....
For our phone , deep sleep will affect battery polling and thus your battery will be displayed as being larger than it really is .

Heyy guys I have a problem regarding the battery life on my fone
On any rom be it cm7 cm9 or cm10 whenever i charge my fone to say for eg. 65-70% and unplug the charger battery starts draining quickly until it reaches a particular point like (45-50%) then the drain becomes somewhat stable
However when i charge the phone fully (ie.100%) the battery depreciates economically (like on stock)
This means I have to charge the battery full in order to prevent for drain
What should i do to prevent this from happening? Or should I buy a new battery
Any Help Appreciated
In my experience with any lithium battery not just android increase battery life by let it die fully so it wont turn on at all then charge till 100% and no harm done by leaving an extra 20 mins leave charger in while turning on should vastly improve an older battery

I am afraid you're wrong in letting old batteries to drain completely man...when battery is new like say within 150 cycles what you said is true but as it becomes old it's better to charge it when it goes below 15...coz the chemicals will become inactive and won't be efficient in taking up charge

During discharging from a calibration, its normal for the phone to last a very long time at 1%. This is especially true if you were not at 100% at the time of flashing the rom you're running.
I take it you charged to 100 and then wiped the battery stats. If you havnt restarted your phone or plugged it in since then, let it sit at 1% for as long as it has to and until it dies. Charge it to full without removing it from the ac adapter. Now get it down to one percent again. You'll find it sticks at 1% for a shorter amount of time before shutting off. Two or three charges and discharges later you should see that when it displays 1% its much more accurately at 1% and will power down quickly.
Also, take into consideration that lithium ion batteries suffer greately when it literally has no more juice to give. Because of this, android will actually display that it has 1% battery left when in reality it has closer to 6%. This is a safety measure so to not damage the battery.

I checked my phone battery from the sys folder and its showing only 500 charge full design and i think i am i having a battery indicator problem bcoz of this as my phone drops the charge from 100 to 1 % in only 1 to 2 hours of use and stays on 1% for many hours.So is there any way to change it with actual photon battery capacity.
I am facing this problem from the first day with original photon battery that came with the phone i also tried various calibration methods,roms and kernels but nothing worked.
/sys/devices/platform/cpap_battery/power_supply/battery
My phone uevent is showing this
Powersupply-capacity=5
Powersupply-voltage-now=3836000

If youre on sprint just go to a sprint store and tell them your battery wont hold a charge, theyll give you a free one.
I decided to replace my 2+ year old Atrix battery with an OEM battery. Since then I can charge to 100% just fine (ran the battery fixing apps and did a wipe battery cache thing) but the battery discharges visibly, like down 4% for a single google search, and gets stuck at 1% for many hours. I used an app to see the voltage and it tops out at 4.2v and levels out at I think 3.5v and dies around 3.2-3v if I remember correctly. Anyway, I just don't know how long the phone will last but it is lasting most of the day. Even turning setcpu off I run for hours with a battery drain app and stay at 1%.
Using MROM-1-0.20120505-olympus. I think this is still considered CM7.
Kernel 2.6.32.59-MB860-MROM-ga43d614.

Okay, the question is what can I do to make the drop more linear rather than going from 100 to 1 in an hour and staying at 1 the rest of the day.
And I've charged discharged half a dozen times with no change.
As you have tried, I don't have better ideas.
I like checking the voltage reading, rather than the percentage value. It usually makes more sense above 3.6V.
Delete all files (or even better copy somewhere for backup) in /data/battd/. Turn off your phone, charge it few hours after led become green, remove battery with charger connected, wait for "?", place battery again and charge it for about 1 hour, turn phone on with charger connected, check battery level, wait to 4200mV and 100%, finally disconect charger. Use phone without recharging until it turn itself off or reach 1%. Then charge it and use normally.
I did it with new battery and now works great, charge to 4200mV, 100% and discharge to 1%

I have the EXACT same problem as original poster, and i see my battery dying to 1% within couple of hours, and then remaining on 1% for rest of the day! This is misleading and most of time i have no idea how much more my phone will go on. All this despite the fact that i bought my battery paying 35 bucks to get it directly from Amazon!
Tried doing what Zeljko1234 has said in his post above, but to no avail. The problem remains as it is. Anybody else faced this issue and found a resolution? Will hard reset or rooting help? Appreciate any help
