My dad went to use the tablet this morning and its somehow over night gotten bricked. All it does is when its plugged in the orange light flashes. ADB still picks it up but no commands are functioning. Please help i desperately need it.
Can you access the bootloader?
He neglected to tell me that the charger wasnt completely plugged in...as soon as i had it plugged into my laptop for around 5 mins i pushed an adb reboot command and it turned back on.
Thanks anyway bro!
A question then. Is it dangerous to empty the battery or what? Is it cous of the cwm not charging?
And why did you have to reboot it with adb?
I have flached a custom rom on my fathers flyer 3g. Should I be scared for the battery?

As far as I know, people don't recommend to empty the batteries from 100% to 0%, better let it discharge to ~8-10%? and plug it in and let it to either charge fully, or somewhere to ~90%.
And no, you shouldn't be scared, flashing custom ROMs won't kill your battery, it's software, not hardware
See I was tryin to reboot it with adb because I was under the assumption it was soft bricked.

What Im a little bit scared of is when battery goes to zero I cant charge it any more. I read some where about flyer not charging because cwm had a flaw but battery then goes to zero i have to change the batter physicaly.
If that is not the problem, why is it best to not decharge battery ?

I plugged in my to charge my phone at near 25%. I let it charge till 100 and used the battery recalibrate tool. Once I removed the charger the meter went down to 49% ....lost 51% just like that.
Guys please help.
I seem to say this a lot, but we need more information. What ROM you're on, how old your battery is, what kernel you're using, is it a stock or OEM battery, is it an eBay battery of questionable quality, are you using any battery mods, what voltage settings it showed when you reached 100% charge on the charger, are using the stock charging cable with wall charger or a 3rd-party USB cable or charging from a computer or PS3 usb slot, etc etc etc...
With what information we have so far, try bump charging.
I on phillipe97's Juwe's port with bullet kernel. The phone was bought in March 2011, never changed. No battey mods. Not sure of the voltage it showed when it reached 100% Stock wall charger
What is bump charging?
That's really strange. Are you running a gingerbread rom? I know gb roms have a problem with the battery draining after charging to full even with it still plugged in.

Bump charging is charging your phone to 100% with it on, then turning the phone off and charging it again to 100%, then turning it back on and doing the same until it stays full when you unplug it.

Darn it, LazyB! You're too kind! I deliberately didn't explain bump charging because I knew the OP would be too lazy to do a simple Google search, so when he came back to the thread with some badly worded and not particularly useful response that contained, "What is bump charging?" I could say "OMFG Google it you twit!" and then link him to something like

Haha sorry I must admit I've been jumping on the noob threads being overly nice to try to help to get my post count up to 100. I'm only about 10 away. I'm a firm believer in researching and reading, reading, and more reading. I lurked on here for months before posting anything. The info is just so readily available for anyone willing to do a simple search. Sorry to steal your thunder there though.

So, after I get it to stay 100% when I unplug it will I have to keep doing this everytime I charge my phone or will the problem be solved?
Hey guys.
I hate to make yet another thread on a topic that seems to have been beaten to death, but I can't take this anymore. My battery life has been really ****ty lately, like extra ****ty. With poop on top. It's gotten to the point where after 5 hours its under 30%, and this is with very minimal use. I don't know why this is, maybe because I sbfd last Thursday, and the battery calibration stuff is screwed up... Or maybe its because I started using widgetlocker recently, idk.
Anyways, attached us the battery use monitor thing. The first screenshot is from this morning, showing how I lost 10 percent battery doing NOTHING for 45 minutes. The next shows my battery being dead after 5 hours of very light use.
In both screenshots the top waster of battery is the phone idle. Is there anything I can do to minimize this battery drain from the phone doing nothing? I have eclipse v6 blurless (v7 seemed more unstable and i'm not into the cyan theme) and I am not using any special scripts.
Any advice/thoughts/sympathy would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Go to the market and find an app called "battery calibration". It will have instructions in the app on how to use it, and it should help you out.

I've had the best success by doing this: Download battery calibration from the market (free). Charge your phone to 100% and run battery calibration, but DO NOT remove your charge cable! Leaving the cable plugged in will prevent the phone from creating a new batterystats.bin, I believe. Ok, now reboot your phone and unplug the charge cable allowing the batterystats.bin to be created at the 'M' logo. **Before proceeding, be sure recovery mode is set in System Recovery.** Discharge your phone till it shuts off. Proceed to charge to 100% uninterrupted. After fully charged then pull the cable and simply reboot your phone..
There are many ways to calibrate your battery, but I found doing it this way has proven the best (2.5 - 3% /hr drop) given my varying use of the phone.

I'm going to try this... But why do I need recovery mode set, and when you say discharge your phone does that mean I can wipe battery stats this morning, follow all the steps up to the moto logo and then just go out and around my daily business until my phones battery completely dies?

I only say to have recovery mode enabled b/c if you don't have either charge or recovery set (new flashed ROM) then your phone will sit at the moto logo after discharge. My attempt to avoid you thinking it's bricked. And yes, go about your daily business after recreating the .bin file

U DO NOT want recover mode set if u plan on letting your phone battery run ALL THE WAY DOWN. Recovery mode will hijack your charge only mode.
U will want CHARGE mode to be set so u can CHARGE instead of going into recovery like your.phone will do when u power off and plug in.
I also just want to say to google lithium ion battery. U should find that these batteries will actually lose life if u let it completely discharge to much. They are designed to get low(5-15%) and be charged not to be complete dead. Not letting it die can improve battery life. Just saying. I don't ever try to let it die 100%. I always get it on a charger before it shuts down.

Hahaha. Yes I have been known to do that on occasion. But that's what I get for not having my coffee today. I just cracked a red bull after realizing how much I need it lol need to vitalize my mind hahaha...
I just wish I had drank a redbull last night before I flashed the new eclipse. I wanted to make a android of the stock in case I wanted to go back to stock at any point but silly old me just flashed while half asleep without even wiping data even. I woke up this morning to see my phone still in recovery with install complete but no wipes or backups before it. I was like www damn. Phone bootlooped till I went and wiped. Im an idiot. Now to get a android of stock im gonna have to sbf and start all over again. But I don't have a computer to do with. O well. Lol
Sorry...that wasn't even close to on subject haha
Recalibrate your battery.. and install the Speedy Scripts... IDK how your current setup is, but if you flash a new rom, its always in best interest to recalibrate your battery. CHARGE OVER NIGHT>RUN RECALIBRATION TOOL AS STATED WITH PLUGGED IN>WAIT FOR 15 MINS>UNPLUG>DRAIN BATTERY TILL FULLY DEPLETED>INSERT AC POWER CABLE AND CHARGE FULLY>BETTER BATTERY LIFE
further suggestions
Install the Speedy Scripts in the x2 Dev section or Get a The SuperCharger scripts and fix OOM grouping to bulletproof and set to big memory device.
Enjoy 14+Hours of Battery Life.
Also, If you are in a bad service area, put in Airplane mode while you are not using your phone or in a bad area.
Hope this helps.
You guys seem to know what you're talking about so let me ask you this: what do you think about Juice Defender? Does it help, do nothing, or actually make your phone worse? Lots of different opinions out there.

I noticed an improvement in battery life when using Eclipse v5. I was getting the life the OP mentioned and juice defender helped with that. I suggest to try it and compare your results w/out it..

I have had inconsistent results using it. I have juice defender plus.
The main thing it does is it kills/manages ur data connection as that is the main things that drain battery running in background
I have had a few days where it worked and gave me an extra couple hours battery and some days where I didn't notice a difference.
I just wish I could set my phones own battery and data manager to shut data off whenever I turn screen off instead of 15mins of inactivity.
If wiping battery stats doesn't do it for you, you could always go with an extremely minimal setup..
I'm talking 0% brightness, BT/GPS/Wi-Fi Off, a data managing program that turns off data and restores it at set intervals, SetCPU to make a screenoff profile, NO SYNCING of anything (FB off) email set to 1hr (or whatever the minimum is). 1 Home Screen, minimal widgets.
If you really want to get extreme you could use Titanium to freeze FB/Google Maps and unfreeze when you need them. I don't use FB on my phone and I rarely use G Maps so it doesn't bother me to have them frozen.
With all that I get an easy day out of my phone with light use (< 30 text messages, < 15 minutes call time, an hour of browsing on Wi-Fi, and a couple hours of music) probably a full day of Moderate use, and 8 hours of heavy use.

Hi im new to the XDA and have a very weird problem. I have a rooted SGS2 running Task650 aokp jellybean 4.1.2 siyah kernel. I have several problems. My first problem is that my phone wont charge correctly. It charges but it starts to drain after it is fully charged. So over night around 5 am it is fully charged but it drains super fast so its around 72% at about 7am. After playing around taking the battery out putting it back in it has another problem. It charges for 2 or 3 mins then it jumps back and forth between charging and not charging. After trying about 3 days it charges correctly. So for about a week it works and then it starts back up. I would like to try to soft reset it but unlike its stock rom it doesnt soft reste by holding HOME+POWER. I have tried hard reset.unrooting, different charges, and different batteries. Please link me or give me an answer thanks in advance.
ps i have tried wiping battery stats and will it notify me in a email when someone post a commet

If its a s/w issue, better battery stats might give a better picture.

friends amaze seems to go thru batteries every few months. the first 2 were original, and recently the anker battery doesn't seem to hold a charge, either. i mean, it's bad to the point where the battery power percentage changes rapidly(all over the place), and the phone eventually shuts off.
what gives? he uses the OEM charger at home.
I think it's just something the amaze causes somehow. Don't know what it is. Have you ever taken off the back cover and smelt a really weird smell... It's the battery, atleast mine does, like its being cooked or something

Powering up the phone, when it is actually plugged in for charging, develops such type of problems.. another thing what may cause such behavior is wiping the bat stat when the the battery isn't fully charged..

The battery cannot be worn out in two months (and then another one again in couple months..) consequently the problem what Cobra281 faces is due to malfunctioning (faults) of the battery controller, hence I advised on the things what may affect the battery controller operation.
Well, I power up my phone while charging all the time, My battery is over a year old and working fine.

is it possible to flash this phone (Atrix 4g) without a battery and only the wall charger connected? i've did some search and couldn't find anything specific on this phone but it seem like its not possible to do so on android. maybe i'm wrong cuz today i was having some freezing problems and i did a battery pull but before i reinsert the battery out of curiosity i connected the wall charger and booted into recovery. of course i didn't do a wipe and flash to test it out myself since i don't have the time for all of that but i got into recovery without the battery. is that normal and does that mean you can flash a rom without a battery?
I think so... but be warned that any energy fail will lead to a possible brick of ur atrix

good to know it works. thats great. now no more worrying about battery when flashing a ROM (sometimes i'm just too impatient to wait till my battery charge to flash a new ROM. we all know that little feeling we get when a new ROM comes out)
now i can just leave my charged plugged in with the battery.. if battery fails the wall charger should continue.. all my electronics are connect to a backup battery so i don't think i ever have to worry about the wall charger losing power. those battery go for 2 - 3 hours
I don‘t think so！don’t do this
