I am one of the many having the battery charging issue - won't charge past 85%... As I am using NottachTrix4G 1.3.1 (a Motorola-based ROM) with the standard Kernel I can't see what might be causing the trouble.
The only thing I can think which is not standard relating to this is that NottachTrix4G has the 1% battery mod.
So, the question is, does anyone know if it is possible to revert to completely stock Motorola battery drivers, and remove this modification? I would prefer to be stuck with 10% increments if that might be causing issues.
Many thanks
James
Unless I'm mistaken, the 1% battery is strictly a display modification. Nothing was changed in regards to how the battery itself is monitored and handled by the system. At least, that's my understanding based on my (admittedly minor) work in theme creation and modification. As such, reversing this wouldn't really do anything other than mask the actual problem. (Someone please correct me on this if I'm mistaken.)
surrealjam, search the forum. Same question asked many times. Solution is simple but not so permanent.
Charge your phone with charger to 4200mV, leave charger connected, turn phone off, remove battery (charger is still connected!), wait for ?, put battery back, you'll see about 5%, charge battery for about 1h, turn phone on, disconnect charger.
You may clear battery stats from CWM.
Thanks for the input MJPollard. Zeljko, I'm well aware of that temporary fix.
Unfortunately there isn't permanent solution. Actually I'm investigating one, but I'll see is it or not.

I am currently running Das_Bamf 1.3.2 but I have heard that the problem also exists on the stock rom/hernel.
My battery percentage does not drop over time. Only after I reboot the phone does it show any change. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Try installing battery left widget. Gibes you an accurate picture of what's going on. You will have to start with a full batteryband run it all thebwaybdown to calibrate.

I don't really want to be forced to install a widget on one of my home screens just to know what percent my battery is at. I would like to figure out why the status bar indication isn't updating. It was working when I first got the phone.

I agree. I had the same problem with Das Bamf. I don't see anyone else really complaining about it and my post was basically overlooked when I asked about it in the thread for the ROM. I ended up just switching to the new version of thunder and lightning and all is well. I'll give Das Bamf a try again when it's working.

are you using the extended battery? I am and I am seeing the same problems but I have flashed back to my original root stock rom with the htc kernel and still seem to have the problem. I may have to try thunder rom if the battery does work
Stock battery. I have tried a wipe and that didn't fix anything. So far I have no real idea what might be causing it since it seems to be happening on different roms including stock as well as kernels.
I was having this issue with VirusROM for the first week or more that I ran it because I didn't flash on a full charge (stupid me)... It also dropped from 100% to 90% in about 10 minutes when it did drop without rebooting - not sure if you have that problem. I resolved all of this by bump charging. There's a workaround for the CWM issue that I followed in another thread found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016508 ... ie. charge with your phone booted; reboot, charge, reboot, charge, etc. until you are at about 99% when you reboot. Then just wipe your battery stats and use like normal. I didn't think that it had worked permanently until a couple days later when my battery was recalibrated. I'm running the same kernel as those of you on Das BAMF if you didn't change it so I hope this helps you as well. Basically after I did this it only dropped 2-3% on reboots when not fully charged but I believe that is normal since it takes a lot of power to boot the phone up completely. Hope this helps.
Edit: Wanted to point out that after I wiped my battery stats I didn't reboot all the time to see if it was dropping since I figured that would affect calibration. Ran it until it died on normal use and got a lot longer battery life than stock, which makes me question as to how "accurate" it actually is after rebooting. Just a thought.
could you also just re flash on a full charge?
I don't think so, because your battery may not be at 100% if it says it is, which is why you would have to bump charge.
Ah, I see.
Well I think it worked. Thanks a ton!

FWIW, I'm on the extended battery and stock ROM and there's no issue that I can observe in terms of the percentage not dropping/reporting properly.
Most of this stuff seems like urban legend and placebo effect to me.
Does anyone have any documented (by Google) evidence that any of this "battery calibration", "batterystats.bin wiping", "only flash roms on 100% charge" stuff is legit? If not some documentation on the OS, then some actual controlled testing with data that supports these concepts as legitimate?
I mean something that documents how batterystats.bin operates and what it controls and doesn't.
My understanding is that the batteries themselves have integrated circuits that control the battery's charge. Surely this can be communicated to the phone (how else does the phone know the voltage being supplied as it diminishes?).
Seems that an intelligently designed OS would take advantage of the battery's own reporting and just go by its charge status rather than come up with some silly scheme that involves the phone using batterystats.bin to control it; especially when, if the urban legends are actually true, that file is so easily confused and needs to be wiped so often. Gr
I see where you are coming from and agree that testing needs to be done but bump charging and deleting battery stats got my battery notification to start indicating again

Regardless of any calibration method i try, i can never get an accurate battery reading. (Before i continue, ill point out that every app ive used to check my battery health has said "good")
Ive tried calibrating with/without the calibration app. Ive tried just deleting the batterystats via rootexplorer. ive tried calibrating before/after cycling. nothing seems to work.
the reason i know its not working, is because i will calibrate/cycle. lets say ill start a day with 100%. ill unplug my phone, leave for work, and use my phone moderately to feel out the battery drain. then at some point, ill plug it into my charger at work......just now, for example, after three hours of use my phone went from 100%-71%....i went to charge it, and once i plugged it in my percentage display changed from 71% to 63%!!! my percentage will constantly jump up and down throughout the day when i plug/unplug my phone.
anyone else experience this?
PS - its not ROM or kernel, its been happening to me for the last 2-3 months...ive flashed several roms/kernels in that timespan, and have ODINed at least once.
PPS - Ill also add that when i unplug my phone to start my day (after its been charging all night), it will stay at 100% for about 30-45min, at which point it will then start draining on an average of 1%/10min. i feel this may have something to do with it.....does it have something to do with me calibrating at too high of a voltage??
Well as for your inaccurate battery readings, i would suggest that you to odin back to stock and. Leave the phone to charge for 4hours(the time my phone takes to charge from 0-100%)then use the battery calibration app or wipe battery stats via cwm. And as for the draining it might be corrected after you calibrate it.
I know this coz I have experienced this in the past and i'd lose around 1% every 20-25mins now.

So if i clearly state in the OP that it was happening to me before and after ive ODINed, and someone says you should ODIN...thats not a lazy suggestion?
or if someone says to try calibrating, when I stated several times in the OP that ive tried multiple calibration methods...thats not a lazy suggestion?
What i expect is if ive pointed out that ive already taken troubleshooting steps, then dont suggest those troubleshooting steps. no one is forcing a response, so if you dont know, simply dont answer. dont just read the title, skim the post, and give programmed suggestions.
theres absolutely nothing wrong with trying to seek out answers other than the conventional ones. ODIN and reflash are the laziest responses......granted, they will often fix problems, but there may be other ways to solve certain issues.
The goal of my OP was to see if anyone else had experienced it, and if someone responded affirmatively, i would ask them about their calibration methods and we could brainstorm. I would much rather seek out problem-solving knowledge before resorting to ODIN/reflash/new battery/new device...which teach nothing.

This is typically the method i use. i usually let it charge for an hour or so beyond when it reaches 100%, just to ensure i have a full charge. this has not worked for me. i also take it a step further and let my phone discharge all the way until it dies, let it charge overnight when powered off, then ill wipe the battery stats first thing when i wake up.

this was an extremely informative read. it doesnt shed light on all of my problems...but it definitely explains the longer battery life upon unplugging in the morning. my only question is how am i getting that extra juice when im not actually "bump charging"...i just plug it in when i go to bed, and unplug it when i wake up.....maybe my phone doesnt stop sucking in a charge the moment it hits 100%?
i agree with what he says about not paying too much attention to your battery.....but when its bouncing up and down by 20% increments, thats cause for concern haha. im going to calibrate one more time tonight, and i i get similar results i will swap batteries with another vibrant user.
do you guys suggest deep cycling, before or after wiping battery stats? (or should i just wipe stats at a full charge, and not deep cycle at all) >>> there seems to be different opinions on deep cycling throughout XDA
I have had a similar issue. After flashing Roms, plyugging and unplugging it was jumping by a good 10-15%. This turned out to be a simple bad calibration. Normal jumping should be up to 2%, more than that usually indicates bad calibration. Granted, normally nowdays, mine does not jump at all.
I recommend cycling it fully empty. That means, go ahead and drain to 0. Then let it shut off. Then turn it on again. Keep turning it on till it STOPs being able to turn on. Then charge it completely. Don't charge overnight as that will charge to 90-95% as the article suggested. Charge it while you're awake so you see when it hits 100%. It's even preffered if you charged it while the phone is off. After it hits 100%, give it another hour on the charger. You can even bump charge to ensure it hits full charge. To bump charge, after it's full, disconnect and reconnect the charger every 20 minutes for that last hour you're charging. Then unplug it, boot into recovery using the 3 buttons. Wipe the battery stats from there. Boot normally into your ROM. See if it is still jumping by 20%. Worst case scenario should be a 5% jump. Let us know what happens.
^ See, there is my confusion... there is a great example of how to calibrate, but the OP seems to get in a tiffy for offering up a suggestion he has done (calibrating). I'd also be cautious about the bump charging as that will really hurt the battery. I'm not one to try and get something for free, but why not just get a new battery?

I support the new battery notion too. It's FREE.
Drain your phone til its dead.... charge it up full.... run a battery calibration app on the market and let it die fully again then charge to 100 percent one last time... good to go!
You might even try using a differnet battery

Topshelf, I have run into these problems, There are a couple of things that cause the battery to be wonky.
1st Samsung has the battery set not to 100% but actually less (95-98%) so when it is charged and reads 100% as soon as you unplug you get a immediate reading of 95-98% (nice huh?)
The dev/mods, and others have tried to rectify this. No one has found an exact fix for this. On thing I have found that does help is to charge to 100% then unplug and then plug into the computer and recharge back to 100% (the lower milliamp off the computer seems to allow you to get to a higher percentage). Then calibrate. Now when you do that the battery calibration/battery widget/and phone All will read more close (for me +/-3%). This is one of the issues you raised.
The other is the battery drain, with some of the custom roms the gallery seems to one of the culprits, mms sometimes stays on with others and some others that are in TSR but instead of being asleep they are taking resources.
I have used systems panel to trouble shoot and that has helped me. I think you may want to ask Explodingboy70, Roman or whitehawkx, they know more on this and maybe can help.
Hope you get it solved......... stay with it you will........... I did.........

I'm incredibly happy with Gingerbread (even though I admittedly only had Froyo for a day, REALLY good timing ), except for one small, minor, insignificant problem: the battery readings jump by 10%.
I scoured the topic on the Dev forum, and tried wiping the battery stats (with both the "Battery Calibration" app on the marketplace AND the instruction Kenneth gave using CWM Recovery) but it's still not reading right. I didn't install a battery percent mod, which I read could mess with the readings.
Does anybody have any other ideas? Like I said, everything else is working great, and if I didn't get the point across in the first paragraph, it's really not a HUGE deal or anything like that, just an annoyance.
Thanks!
Don't think it's Kenn's mod. The OTA 2.3.4 has similar battery jumping stats. Every time I reboot I get an extra 5-10% lol but it drains down quicker.
When you say they jump by % 10, do you mean it jumps up and down or that it only registers the charge loss in% 10 increments? If its the former then its a known issue where battery calibration is your best shot at fixing it. If its the latter, this is normal for the atrix. It only registers % 10 increments by default.

I don't think we're having the same problem. The READINGS are jumping on mine, so it'll go from 100% to 90% to 80% etc. I never see anything in between. The battery seems to be lasting as long as I could expect, considering how much I've been using it. I'm having a hard time figuring out which side of the reading it's actually on, even. Like, if it's reading 90% is it 90-100 or 80-90.
Also, just to clarify, I wasn't outright blaming Kenneth's ROM for anything, as far as I know his release is stock, and just repacked so it can be installed with CWM (maybe deodexed? Or maybe that was a different thing altogether? There's been so much coming out I can't keep track). I just didn't know if it made a difference or not, so I was as specific as possible.
Thanks for your reply though! Maybe someone can shed some light for both of us
Edit: goscrewsir, I used to get single percent readings. Since it's by default, is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? Thanks for the info!
The last person to answer is right, the 10% incrementing is normal. It shows 90% for all the values between 80 and 90...there is a mod available to show 1% increments however, which you should be able to find in the themes and apps board.
OK, I guess I didn't notice since I installed GingerBlur almost immediately, and maybe GingerBlur had a half version of that mod built in (the system read single %, but the icon was normal)?
Thanks again to everyone for the explanations!
[MOD] StatusBar Fix for 2.3.4 - 1% Battery!! - CWM (6/28) by Nottach
Thanks neotekz, I knew where to find it. Plus the one you linked to is for HKTW.
I wonder if Nottach would be kind enough to leave out the custom battery icon. He seemed to be doing a lot of single requests in that topic, haha.
So what does the battery graph look like in 2.3.4? The stock graph that shows usage, does it look chunky and not smooth? Or does it look correct?
I seem to have a problem with the battery reading. Also if I reboot the battery goes from 85% to 99% . When I hit 70% it drops to 50% immediately. Clearing battery stats doesn't work.

so does the 2.3.4 battery graph work normally on the atrix? on other phones the new battery graph shows 1% battery, so the graph is smooth and accurate.
does the atrix 2.3.4 version of this graph work the same way? or does it only show the graph in 10% chunks?
Hello guys,
I have a problem with battery :
Every morning, after booting, my phone was powered off over all the night, I can see my battery decreasing by 10%!!!! And I sometimes notice after few minutes that it increases itself bit by bit...
I've already did a battery calibration, but not after flashing the new Siyah' 2.0 kernel.
This is very annoying, and makes me wondering if I should recalibrate or what...???
BTW, the question is : HOW ?
Some say you have first delete batterstats, power off, then full charge.
Others say you have to power off, full charge, manually delete batterstats.bin, or use Battery Calibration App.
What is the f*** best way to calibrate our battery ?
I'm really pissed off loosing 10% battery with my phone powered off every morning...
Regards.
Using Revolution 2.7.1 ROM with SiyahKernel v2.0
Was there really any need to create this thread in Q&A and then 30 mins later create the exact same thread in general?
If you read the FAQ on the SiyahKernel v2.0 thread it clearly states:
Q: do I need to recalibrate the battery?
A: You don't need to calibrate battery for SGS2. Thanks to Entropy512 to pointing out that our device uses MAX17042 which is specifically designed not to require calibration.
Therefore it is not a battery calibration error, you should get your battery checked or replaced as it may be faulty. Good luck!
Of course, no.
Sorry for duplicate that thread.

I've already read it.
But the fact is I am not the only one who gets issue with battery calibration, when flashin new kernel/ROM.
Shall we all replace our battery for a new one ? I don't think so at first sight.
In addition, many people notice calibration really works and make the battery more accurate than before... Common placebo or what ?
Hmmm...
It's definitely weird if powering off your device still drains as much as 10% overnight. I don't think any battery calibration can stop the phone from draining when off.
Have you tried reflashing a stock rom? From my experiences, the stock rom gave me the longest battery life when I first got my phone, but that may just be the fact the phone was new.
No, I've been stayed with Revolution ROM for a while.
At the beginning, never had this dropping issue. Seems to starting after flashing Revo 2.7.1 and Siyah' kernel, but not 100% sure.
It is very strange cause, I use it normally and battery is working fine : no decreasing on deep sleep.
Maybe this could help :
Just after full charging, use Battery Calibration App, and notice it didn't delete Batterystats.bin in data/system... I've always use it and never pay attention... (maybe error with SU permission ?)
Very strange, so this time I delete it manually.
Hope it'll calibrate my battery well this time.
Wait n see.
My first current conclusion :
The best way to calibrate your f*** battery is definitely to do it manually.
Just delete batterystats.bin in data/system, after full charging (with Rootexplorer or another app)
Then, use it until to 90%, and full charging.
That's all ATM.
Why ?
Because, I've just noticed that Battery Calibration App doesn't always delete this file. Ya, sometimes, It works, but sometimes It sucks. I don't know why, but seems to be related to some SU version and permissions' bugs...
Hope it could help some of you.
... I just have some things I'd like a little assistance with if possible.
1. Because the battery has over double the capacity of the stock battery, I wasn't expecting even close to sensible battery reports from Android. However, I wasn't expecting it to last for a long time, drain at a rational rate, and then halt at 1% for 6 or so hours. I have no way of predicting how much time I have left when I reach that 1% mark, and it literally just shuts off the phone without warning, as if I just unplugged the battery. Is there any way to adjust anything so that It properly reports the battery charge value from 100-1%?
2. I have no idea how long to charge this phone. Obviously the stats of the stock battery are hardcoded into the OS; after the phone shuts off, I'll put it on to charge, it will enter the charge-only-mode (which is weird to me in itself, thought the custom bootstrap overwrote this?), and it will only take a couple hours to reach 100%. This is about how long it took for me to charge the stock battery. Anyway to have the phone properly display the current charge while in its charge only state? I'm afraid of not properly cycling the battery if I don't charge it long enough, or even worse, damaging the battery by charging too long. After it hits 100%, assuming I am correct in that it still needs to charge after reaching that mark, will the phone even accept more power from the charger? As silly as it might sound, that sorta made sense to me. If the phone is incorrectly measuring the battery at that point, shouldn't it cease to charge after reaching what it thinks/I] is a proper 100%?
3. If there is no way to fix the issue in #1, I read somewhere you can measure the voltage of a battery and know when the phone is fully charged or about to die based on that voltage? At least I think it was voltage.
I've calibrated, don't bother asking. That has never worked, even on stock; I'm convinced its a myth, but that's a discussion for another thread.
By the way, Eclipse ROM's battery life sucks. Anyone stating otherwise is misinformed. The best battery life I ever experienced was on stock 2.2, followed very closely by Liberty 3 ROM. I have no idea why Eclipse has such terrible battery drain, though I would be interested if anyone knows. I've gone through two phones, their respective batteries, and now my third battery, the monstrosity that is the 3200mah, so please don't bother trying to convince me that Eclipse has better battery than some alternatives. It sucks. I'll be downgrading back to 2.3.4 and flashing Liberty right after I finish writing this.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
Also, I've been following the Droid X2 bootloader status for like 6 months. Realistically, how close are we to being able to flash a new kernel? An I'm pretty sure we can't crack to bootloader anyways. I remember calculating the possible combinations of keys Motorola could have used; it was a massive number. In that case, how would hijacking the boot process allow us to use Cyanogen? If we can't crack the bootloader and then flash the CM kernel, wouldn't it just be a glorified version of Eclipse? I don't even like Eclipse. Lawl.
I'm done typing. My sexy computer comes tomorrow; crossfire 6990's here I come! Need to get to sleep so I can all-night-hardcore-no-life play BF3 with Shibby tomorrow. I hope someone on these forums knows who that is.
You need to boot into clockwork recovery. Go to advanced and hit clear battery stats. after that fully charge and discharge your battery 4 times and that should fix you up.

Calibrating will NOT, as you've already found out, fix battery reporting.
I used to gauge when it was going to die by looking at mV left. Around 3500mV is when it would die. Get Battery Indicator from market to find out mV.
Oh, and: 4.2V = 4200mV etc

Oh sorry. Didn't realize cw hasn't been released for your phone yet. Have you tried deleting the batterystats.bin file manually. I believe there is also an app for this on the market.

I figured as much. For a multi-billion dollar investment, you would think Google and its partners wouldn't overlook something so silly, not to mention locking our ****ing bootloader.
Anywho, I'll try out that app. Is 4.2V a full charge for the 3200?
Thanks!
This is a known issue with the droids. Some have had success with the batteryleft widget which can learn the full capacity of the battery.
Also not googles fault. This one is only Motorola's issue.
