Came across some posts about battery calibration and thought I will give it a go. Used the battery calibration app. It basically wipes the battery stats file and replaces it with a blank file. After running the file, realised that it sets the tab at 4200mAh while the Jetstream has a capacity of 7000mAh. So now am stuck with the lower battery stat. Tried resetting. Didn't help. Any ideas anyone? When I do get sometime will try to install the stock rom and try my luck but in the meanwhile any ideas?
Also, someone rooted on stock, could you please pull the batterystats.bin file from /data/system and upload it? I thought if I could replace that file with another file from a stock Jetstream, it may solve the problem. If not stock, anyone else who gets good battery life?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Have you tried booting to CWM and resetting the battery stats from there?

Yes, I realized that option existed yesterday. I am currently waiting for the battery to discharge completely before I can use that option after I recharge it completely. Will report after doing so.

Could someone please pull the batterystats.bin file from /data/system and upload it? I am able to see it using root explorer. Using astro, i must 1st use the up button to get to the main partition of the internal memory. Next I use the view/preferences button to show hidden and system files. after that I can view it from there as well. Can someone please pull this file and upload it here?
There you go
hope it helps.

Will check and confirm. Thanks.
Tried it - seems to work - get around 7 hours of continuous movie playback - which is a bit lesser than what i used to. Will check run and check again. However, I realized 1 thing. The battery has a capacity of 7300mAh. But I am not aware of the voltage it supplies at - could someone check that out? It will be listed on Quick system Info Pro - under the battery status. It shows 4.x Volt power supply when I check it around 70-100% and 3.x for <60%. 60-70%, it fluctuates between them.
Did some research and it seems that in order to correctly calibrate the battery, we must delete that batterystats.bin file (even manually) and then for around 6-7 cycles, make sure that we charge to 100% before unplugging the charger, then discharge till it goes dead (or reaches ~3-4%) before recharging and repeating the process. So, I guess this is what I was doing wrong - I did it only once. Will 1st try out the batterystats file uploaded by guru_shastri with this method, then the delete and retry it again and report back with my findings.
Thanks for all the help.

Hello.
Because of numerous rom and Kernel flashes my battery behaves erratically.
For example, i am out of battery, my phone died, but when i put it for charging, the battery status indicates 100%.
I have tried clearing the battery stats but no luck there.
How can i solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Charge full battery and calibrate it with battery calibration from google play
I can't. I am charging the phone with it off, but it indicates a full charge state. If i try to power it on, after about 1-2 minutes, the phone turns itself off, like when not having enough battery.
I have tried the battery calibration tool, but the problem still persists.

I think you should read this tread regarding MAX17040 chip that is installed in your battery and steps to reset it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273. If this doesn't work then I'm afraid that your battery is gone and that needs to be replaced.
I have done the indicated steps and i had no luck.
I have observed that after charging to full ( 100% ) the phone runs ok until about 93-94%. After this, the phone shuts itself down, and if i try to power it on, the display hangs at the Galaxy S2 screen ( the one with the triangle )
What am i suposed to do?
This happened to me before, and i got over it without much hassle, but now i can;t get past it.

joke
maybe this would help
reboot in cwm,
-factory/data reset
-cache reset
-in advanced menu dalvik cache reset and battery stat reset
-in mount and storage menu format system
-flash custom rom,
-when done ( do not restart system ) do a factory/data reset and battery stat reset again
i know, i can see irony in my advice but can't think of anything else
Try charging it for a while, just to make sure it is actually 100%, then pull the battery and wait 2-3 mins. Plug it back in should be good to go, works every time for me.

1) Battery calibration apps/methods are rubbish/placebo & do absolutely nothing. Save your time/money.
2) Sounds like the battery is cactus to me. Time for a new one.
I have managed to get it working by leaving the battery out of the phone, overnight.
I started noticing recently that as my battery got low (like to 50%) my screen would start glitching and just selecting random things over time its just gotten worse (now it does it at 60%). I tried unrooting it and rerooting via sdcard, deleting apps that i installed around the time it started but its still doing the same thing.I wanted to inquire if anyone had the same problem before i look into switching it out.
This sounds like behavior that occurs when the nook gets to about 15%. Have you noticed it dying quickly after it freaks out? Try resetting battery stats.

You'll need to boot into CWM for that.
thanx, I don't have much experience with cmw so any instructional help would be appreciated. I did find an app called battery calibration, has anyone used that?
Previously when I ran into this issue, all I had to do was run this handy program here, but alas, this time it is not fixing my issue, and my phone still will charge no higher than 81%. What should I do next?

With that app, check the voltage, should be as close to 4200 mV as possible (mine charges up to 4196 mV but get stuck at 81% ~ 90%) then run the fix (first button) and either reboot the phone or restart the service (I restart the service) and you should see it rises beyond 100%, when you unplug the phone, it downs to 99%

Stats read
Power Source - USB
State - Charging
Voltage - 4200mV
Temp - 33.0 C
Percentage Shown - 81%
Actual Percentage - 80%
I just ran the fix and restarted the service (as you suggested), so let's await and see if I will get my bat up any higher
EDIT --
I guess I should clarify so that it is not misconstrued that I didn't do this prior, but each time I ran the fix before I rebooted my device.

Ah, thank you for that info. I will def purchase a new battery
This way works for me to fix this problem
For me, the BatteryFix app works only if I use it this way:
1. In BatteryFix, check "Fix when power detected". (only once)
Reboot the phone, if required.
2. Connect to the power adapter ( the phone must be on)
3. After the notice of BatteryFix shows, turn off your phone. (every time)
For my Atrix 4G, when power adapter is connected,
turning power off makes the phone reboot.
I cannot really turn it off.
I didn't try reboot button, it might work too.
4. Let the phone charge to the maximum percentage.
5. Start BatteryFix, tap "Fix battd" and restart the service. (every time)
No need to reboot for me.
Then, I can see the percentage changes.
I hope this works for you too.

Correct. It might seem as if it's turning on, but it will instead go to this special "charging" mode. Unless of course there's something wrong with the bootloader and it proceeds to full boot instead (there have been reports of this happening to some people).

Actually, from what i learned on the kernel thread, the chargin mode is rom dependant. If there is something wrong with this charging mode, is rom's fault

This happened last night when i calibrated my phone then it suddenly shuts down. I think i miss calibrated it that much that it reads my battery percentage as 0% even when the battery has some juice in it. Pleas help me guys I'm new on this kinds of stuff. Thanks

install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=de
charge your phone to 100%
use the app to recalibrtae battery stats
sir i can't use the app because if i remove the charger the phone suddenly shuts down

i dont understand your problem.... again, do this:
plug charger & boot phone.
install that app & load your device to 100% (or just for 1-2 hours)
open that app. (DONT REMOVE CHARGER!!!!!) then press on calibrate battery.
power off phone normally. NOW UNPLUG
try to turn on that phone.
also maybe your battery is dead. so need a new one....
Sir the phone needed to be connected to a charger before I power it up because if I power on the phone by itself it won't open

I think I encountered this kind of problem once. It happened when I swap my empty battery with a new one. Difference are, mine still manages to turn on without charger but battery meter shows almost empty (it actually had full juice) so the phone shuts down after homescreen. Try wiping dalvik, somehow it fixes the calibration for me.
Or look for DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown on xposed installer downloads.

then, if its full on 100% use the battery calibration app (leave it on charger). after using it, reboot via reboot menu. if the phone vibrates once, pull off charger. take out battery. put it in back & try to start the phone. if still not starting i think you have some HW damage... or maybe just battery dead but if you say its charging normally till 100% i guess its more a HW damage

Got my phone fixed. It's just a battery problem. I replaced the old one. Thank you guys
Hi,
I already got this problem and been able to fix it with battery calibration (root) apps. But since about 1 week I cant fix it and I dont know if someone have the same issue.
When I charge the phone to 100% and unplug the power, it doesnt discharge until 3h after unplug. And between 45% and 30% the phone shut off. When I try to power ON, it say battery too low keep charging before power ON (something like that). When the battery is charge enough, its already at 30% and reach 100% very fast (maybe 15-20mins)
I did try to do battery calibration, reboot the phone and use it normally... but no success.. I already did this 5 times
I cant let it discharge to 0% because it automatically shutoff at 30-40%.
I use the "stock rooted YNG1TAS2I3 ROM. Includes root(enable in Developer options) and the rest is untouched, so it's OTA update safe" from Calkulin (thanx to him he does great work)
I didnt want to factory reset because like I said before, its not the 1st time I got this problem but its the 1st time I am not able to fix it !
And please, do not answer to buy the OnePlus 2
Thank you in advance, sorry for my english

Hi, definitely sounds like a calibration issue. If possible, can you access the bootloader options, and select bootloader logs? It's an option on nexus, not sure about oneplus. If you can, select logs and reboot. That resets the calibration. Otherwise, it could be a faulty battery.
You can always ask in your device's specific help forum here:

Good luck!
