Hi all.. for the past the days I have noticed that the battery usage or the battery information tab (eg. Display 30%, Android OS 25%......) in the settings of my motorola razr doesn't add up to 100%.. It varies between 92% and 102%. All I did was root my phone a week back using Motofail and I unrooted it yesterday using Doomslord unroot. Should I factory rest my phone? Please help!!!
Also does anyone know or have you seen this "battery report.apk" file which is also known as "Cool Down Mode"? It is in your phone internal memory. Do you know what it does. Has anyone installed it and checked what it does?
Thanks I advance!!!

seems to be a software hang. Drain battery completly and charge it without start the phone. This may fix the problem. If not, do a factory reset.
Thanks

Try looking through your sync settings, set them as low as possible and be sure to exit your apps with the back button not hitting home
Edit : you could also use better battery stats

I have my sync settings very low as well.. I use juice defender free version!! And I flashed into another build, from Asiaretail03 to PSHAsiaretail and still have the problem!!
How will Better battery Stats help me?? is there a free version of the app?? If not is there any other way?? will it affect my battery life???

I have the paid version of jd, it seems to make things worse for me in terms of battery life on the RAZR, and the lag in the initiation of the cell radio was very annoying. It was great for the og droid though. On another note, freeze all bloat!, and you may have to go through and change the sync settings on each app that uses network sync individually. I'm hesitate to suggest this because there's so many post claiming it's bad for your battery, while I understand the train of thought, I still question the validity of the advice. So do this at your own risk. Since the os is reporting more than or less than 100% battery my guess is that the os's scale is off. The os shuts down your phone well before your battery gets to zero as a fail safe, and stops taking a charge at 100%. When you flash a new rom, or didn't charge the phone fully before you turned it on when new, or any other number of variables, your battery stats get mucked up. The old school way to retrain was turn off and charge for how ever long it takes to know your fully charged (over night), boot into recovery wipe battery stats, unplug boot up and run the phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out turning back on, then use as normal. I dont advise that method, my advice is to run phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out powering up, run phone normally

Ok I don't want to freeze my bloatware... And I completely drained my battery and charged it till 100 without powering up (twice).. But still have the problem...
Let me try the other method but where will I see the recovery wipe battery stats in the boot menu? ?
Thanks a lot for taking your time..

It is in cwm menu under advanced, if you don't have cwm there is a file in the root system, you'll have to research to find its location, (i cant remember where it is), that holds the battery stats, you can delete it and it does basically the same thing. You might could find an app on the market that will find and delete it for you. Just be careful, do it right, you can make it worse.

You should be fine, just let the phone charge to 100% and be sure not to boot up before it gets there, and by no means charge the phone while draining the battery

I was rooted when I froze the bloatware.. This issue with my phone is there for a week now.. Now I am unrooted.. Thinking of rooting again to wipe the battery stats..I will do that if the problem happens even after charging the phone once more to 100%..

Have you ever considered something as simple as % rounding error? Seems more likely, currently mine shows 101%.
I was also curious, what in the world compelled you to bother to add up the percentages in the first place? ;-)
Peace!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Just to be totally sure, you're having problems with battery life, its not just that your battery usages are off. The percentages are rounded, but shouldn't be off by more than 10%, if so than its a tell of another problem, also if your a medium- heavy user your screen should be the highest percentage, if its android os or system using a large percentage its normally bloatware in your root file system, if it's media, you need to look at the motocast apps, if its cell stand by, check the time with out signal, if you have a large % with out signal, you should 1st check for the most recent radio, 2nd find out where it is you're getting poor signal and keep your phone in airplane mode in that area if possible, if not only turn off/ on data as you need it, your cell radio seaching for towers will drain your battery quick, also, the reason i suggested better battery stats is it can provide a more detailed breakdown of what is using your battery and identify apps that are keeping your phone frome going into a lower power state with wakelocks
A little more info.

Thanks for the info.. The battery percentage ranges from 92-103%... And my highest battery consumer is the Screen followed by Voice calls and Android OS..
I will try getting better battery stats and check but I don't want to buy the app and experience the same problem..
If the battery life is getting affected will it be because of a faulty battery? can I get a replacement because of this?
And yes thanks a lot for spending your time..

I did battery calibrations with two different apps, i even let the battery died from 100% this is my 3rd exchange Idk what do at this point, it seems like I'm not getting battery life like other droid maxx users, i looked under settings and battery and the screen is always 78% or higher any help is appreciated.

Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
I have just the regular Razr and my battery life is significantly less than Gingerbread. When I check the settings it says that the major usage is screen, even though I have it down to 18% brightness level. As an official release is months off I kind of expected bugs to be worked out, but hopefully someone figures this out before then.
Nila
What is your screen on time and how long is your phone awake. Maybe an app is forcing your phone to awake instead of letting it idle/sleep even though the screen is off. Check the other graph with the bars on the bottom.
No I don't have Netflix install, i even set in developer options back round processes to only 1, i did a titanium back up restore for my apps

There's a wakelock keeping your phone from sleeping. I believe its in the android os grouped apps, probably means it bloatware.
Here's a bit more info

Right now the battery is at 70%. It's been on for 4.5 hours and only a few phone calls made really. Screen accounts for 35% and Voice calls 20%, Android OS 19%. There's a separate Android System that is 3%. Time on shows 26m42s. I'll keep an eye on the time on and see if it looks right to me later.
I got the same battery life on ics I get on gbread. 5 hrs screen on on 3g. Use battery indicator. Its free in the market and there is a checkbox that shows 1% increments. If you can't get 4+ hours screen on time something is running away and you should do a factory reset. Start over.

The reason i think its a wakelock is because of your screen shot, if your android os time on keeps pace with your phones time on, its most likely going to be an app in your /system/app folder keeping your phone from sleeping. I had the same problem, I found for me it was the Verizon backup apps I had initially set up then decided Verizon were evil bastards and removed my account, set my phone to stop syncing in settings, but the apps still held a wake lock and network connection that started at boot.
One thing i cant stress enough is to exit your apps with the back button, not the home button, the home button is for multi tasking between apps and keeps apps fully running in the back ground, that will help a little with all the apps eating small percentages that add up

I got 3 hours and some change yesterday on my original RAZR. I dont think the battery stats are reading correctly because my phone lasted for a long time at 5%
Check the last link i posted, read the whole thread, it may help.

Unlocked rooted verizon htc rezound... I notice while charging my battery it almost never goes to 100% always seems to stay at 99-98%... When it does go to full as soon as I take it off the charge it drops down to 98%.. I charge with the phone on.. should I turn phone off to charge? Also this last week any contacts that I assigned a ringtone to it that call rings default? ?? On the contact card it shows the right assigned ringtone but its not the ringtone that rings??? Any ideas???

The battery does that while charging to prolong. it's life....it will charge up to 100 and then run down to 90 or so and then charge back up....there's a post somewhere called "battery percentages, why your phone is lying to you, and why that's not a bad thing". Search for that on xda and there's a great post explaining it.

Hello i just want to know if there is a possible way to see the percentage of the battery while charging on switch off mode, bcoz on my cousin note 2 the battery percentage is display when she charge on switch off mode. While on s3 all i see is a green battery, and you can only see the percentage when it is fully charged displaying 100%. Im asking if it is possible to turn on that function on s3, if yes, how?
Thanks in advance

what is switch off mode? under display settings you can select to show battery percentage or not.
I don't think it is possible
I think there is no need to switch off your phone to charge

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Not possible, but you get a good idea looking at the green bar
BTW it does charge faster when phone is off, but if it is on with the screen off you wont feel a big difference in charging time...
Hehe i see thnx, i guess i have to just estimate
But i hope samsung will add that on the next update since note2 have that

Hey got a idea, hope it helps some app developers..
As u guys know Li battery will eventually get low backup due to chargings extensively(like whole night chargings).Many people forget to unplug their chargers even battery filled to 100% due some workloads or whatever..
SO HOW ABOUT CREATING A APP WHICH REMIND BY ALARMIMG AFTER GETTING 100% CHARGING
or
A TIMER WHICH AUTOMATICALLY STARTS WHEN CHARHGER PLUGGED AND ALARMS AFTER SOMETIME(say 1Hour)
Check out big text battery notification

Better make an app that can disable/cut charging after specified percentage of battery charge and started charging again when battery drop to specified threshold.. That would be awesome!!

Don't devices cut it off when it gets to 100% anyway?
