Hi,
I have a very rare problem with my Xperia X10i. Namely quickly consumes battery. Calculated the average of the 5 minutes for 1% of the battery charge. Given the battery is discharged within 3-5 hours.
Xperia (unlocked bootloader, root and xRecovery). I have tried all ways, but none of them helped. I've done a full format of the new phone by installing the Android 2.3.3. Restored to factory settings, format the memory card, Avast antivirus scanning the phone.
I took it to the living room and said that it might have some short-circuit or short circuit in the phone. They said that in the middle of the phone is fine.
The problem appeared on the original batteries from Sony Ericsson BST-41. I thought maybe the fault lies in the battery so I bought a battery Andida 1700mHa but the effect is the same. The battery is exhausted within 3-5 hours. I thought the wine so it can rom. I installed rom from Wolfbreaka "uIBIDoom" which is 90MB, to no avail.
It seems to me that I've tried almost everything, but it is still some hope. Please help me.:crying:
hi. I dont think that 3 batteries can be broken. make sure you have disabled GPS, it drains battery quicky. wifi drains it faster too but not so much. try to recalibrate your battery.
Its hard to tell if it is normal ( 5 hours battery life) because we dont know how are you using your phone. Watching youtube with wifi online can drain battery realy quick. GPS too, also playing games.
Really I dont know whats the problem, but try to recalibrate your battery and turn off unnecesary services like GPS etc.
The case of the battery is such that initially work properly. She held as well, up to two days. Phone calmly withstood the night, which is not an option now. On the battery worked well, it happened overnight. Today went well, and the next day something happened to her. All necessary application off (gps, wifi, youtube)

I am getting very poor battery life.
The battery drains within 24 Hrs to a dead phone.
Is it normal? I have heard, people talking about a battery life of 3-4 days.
What can I do to correct this problem.
Please help.
Hi Anand
I, too, had terrible battery life once I upgraded. I had heard that sometimes if you flash the ROM again over the last time it improves the life. I was skeptical ... until I did it last night.
My device was still at 94% when I woke this morning, and by 5pm this afternoon had only dropped to 87%. I have never had such great battery life! Never!
Give it a try. Can't hurt.

I tried reflashing the ROM, but it did not had an impact on the battery backup.
Do I need to take care of something while reflashing it.
Thanks a lot for the reply and the help.
Has anyone else had issues with draining battery life? After flushing with the latest official ROM, 30% left after left switched off O/N!!!!
Any fixes? is it a known issue?
Thanks!
i am having the same problem...i also reflashed...but it seems like the device doesnt go to standby mode after 'x' minutes of inactivity as selected in the power options. is the same thing happening with u 2?
also, are u using O2 Plus?
initial charging
have tried recharging your atom for 8 hours when you first bought it? try it. it worked for me. it extended my batt's life
Yes, I am using O2 Plus, also, I think charging of Li-Poly Batteries does not require to be charged for 8 Hrs. Infact it may result into over charging.
By the way, I am getting precisely 24 Hrs of backup when using PUSH email support with Ms Exchange Server.
charging
check the manual.. it says there u need to fully charge the atom for 8 hours.. that's for the initial charging. i also called one of the reps in the service center for atom here in the phils and that was waht he told me to do. cheers mate
Hi try removing the WM5 Battery Icon on the top bar through the registry... i notice that helpson my atom. i have O2 batery meter running instead.
Re: charging
I have poor battery life as well. Unit is discharge within 12 hours.
I have a whole lot of applications installed, so after I've reinstalled the ROM, I'd my backup fully restored.
I am wondering if that's a mistake as it might also "restore" the issue with the battery life. Anyone has advise on this matter?
Thanks!
I neva did that 8hrs initial charge since too excited to explore on the 1st touch~ hehe..
Btw, it's said many times that plug-ins that probes hardware needs extra battery power ie. memory/battery/storage. I've none of those plugins and even on a2dp stereos, the battery only drops from 100 to 80+ on few hours of mp3s. Some players can switch off your backlight and still continue playing mp3s ie. WM10/TCPMP, see their button assignment options. You might also wanna remove that battery icon on the top right through the registry. Set the backlight 10secs, slider to 1-4 and power down 1min helps me alot too.
reflashing
heya ppl...what do you mean by reflashing?Cheers...
Battery Died on me
hey the battery was low, and i plugged it into the computer jack (to synchronize), which was supposed to rechareg the battery, an hour later, it beeped saying battery was too low, and was shutting down. and it shut off completely.
now i am rechanging with the charger, and the amber light is on.... but after 30 mins of charging, i still can't turn on the phone.
when i try, the green light seem to flash onmce every 30 seconds....... and i have put it back in the charger
when it completely discharges, do i have to fully recharge before i can switch it on?
Atom Manual Help
Well, after getting fed up with my poor Atom's battery life, I checked out the manual to see what it said about battery life. It does say to charge the battery for 8 hours intially, and for the first 3 charges after that you must drain it completely then recharge it fully--for a total of 3 times. Okay, so I did this and I haven't noticed a difference (I know others say you aren't supposed to do this with a Li-Ion battery but it's in the manual!).
Anyone else tried this?
The only other thing I haven't tried was reflashing (reloading the ROM).
It seems this issue is the bane of the Atom.
Battery life
try to reduce the "brightness" and make sure to end every task completely! 8)
Battery Drain
I already wrote about this in some other forum but this the same problem with my O2 with Bluetooth not more then 8 hours max. Without bluetooth. 20 to 24 hours.
I never leave any application running I use the memory settings to close all applications.
I still do not find any diff. I have closed the IR, I have reduced the backlight time to 10 Secs. I have reduced the backlight to 3. No change.
I have already complained about this to O2 but no result. They are probably stuck with Windows people not supporting them or with no solution. They are not even responding now on this issue. TOOOOO BAD
I hope someone can find a solution.
Flash the ROM exactly as per the procedure. Normally the last part is not read properly. After the ROM is flashed they ask to reset the device twice. One time a Hard Reset and another time a soft reset before you load the data and programs. If you follow the procedure properly maybe you will solve the battery problem like me and many others.
If you are using bluetooth switch it off and check you will come to know the exact battery life. Secondly in settings keep IR off. Backlight a bit low 3 or 4 as you get proper vision, without reflection and most of all saves battery. Most important close all programs by going to Settings>Memory>close all so that all applications will close and not consume the battery. This is a windows software flaw which needs correction but no one does anything for it, not even microsoft.
I am getting poor battery life with New ROM 20060426 i also reflashed but nothing
it's the same prob with old roms ??
thanx
did you perform reset twice after reflashing? first rard reset, second soft reset?
thanx kropotov with reset twice after reflashing all ok . after 24 hours battery still in 75%
thanx
Alright, before you tell me to remove batterystats.bin and move along read this carefully.
I've had my HTC Legend for about 8(?) months now. Around the same time, my mum also bought one. I rooted mine, flashed CM 7.0.0, up to the newest nightly now. She left it as she got it, only upgraded to Froyo when the update came out. Everything is working great, except for the battery statistics.
Around 4 months ago my mother first complained about her battery not charging to 100%. It got worse over the weeks, and the battery level also started dropping faster and faster. It has gotten to the point where, when she gets it off the charger in the morning, it's around 52% (Even though it's been charging for forever, and should theoretically easily be on 100%). After about 5(!) minutes of using the phone, it will have dropped to a 2% battery. Battery life, however, is hardly suffering. She can just walk around with a 2% battery for the rest of the day. Obviously the batterystats are totally ****ed up. After 2-3 months my phone started doing the same, except it does it less severe. I can only charge to 50~60% as well too.
Around this point, I started looking around, and found about how android saves it's battery levels. I rooted and flashed my phone, and using fake flash, I booted into Clockwork recovery, mounted /System (S-on phone, can't edit system when phone is on, still no s-off for hboot 1.01..) and removed the batterystats.bin. I did in a couple of ways now, including the build-in option and using Android Commander. My phone, however, still won't charge past certain numbers.
Now my questions to everyone here is: Did anyone else have problems like these? Any solutions you'd like to suggest? Are batterystats/total voltage also saved somewhere else?
I'd like to point out that the battery itself is not damaged or anything. When my mum's phone had these problems, and mine didn't yet, we tested her battery in my phone, and it would charge to 100% just fine, and the levels weren't messed up.
Her problems started around the time she flashed Froyo from the official update. I can see how flashing a new rom messes up the batterystats.bin, but apparently that's not the only file being wrong?
Any suggestions are VERY welcome.
Tl;dr: Phone battery won't charge past 50% or so, battery level drops to 1% in 5 minutes.
EDIT 1: My mum send her Legend to HTC to get it ''fixed'' THREE weeks ago. She got it back today, them saying it was fixed. After a good 10 hours in the charger it still won't go to 100%, and after 30 minutes the battery levels dropped from 70% to 1%. I think it's quite shocking how HTC can say something is fixed without even trying to charge it to 100%.
you can try this, can't hurt
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more
Unplug the charger
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
Unplug the charger
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal.

Thanks for the reply,
sad to say I've already followed steps like these atleast three times. Including charging without entering pin, when off, when on, etc etc. Still, thanks for the suggestion.
no such problem yet ... but i'd be interested to know if you were able to resolve it... it cant be a coincidence both you and your mom 's battery levels acting up.

Could be so, but I don't think we're the only people in the whole world to have this problem. I'll keep this thread updated with any information I might stumble across and any other solutions tried. If anyone could tell me where the maximum values for the battery are stored in android it'd be great, seeing how deleting the batterstats.bin file didn't help, there must be another file in android tracking battery..
Hi,
so you're not alone. My Legend is showing the exact same symptoms.
I bought my Legend used via ebay and the seller told that the battery won't fully charge. No problem i thought, just buy a new battery.
Even with the new battery it won't charge more than 60% and it decreases to 10% in 5 minutes.
Just had a test. Even with 60% power at the beginning and 10% after 5 minutes it still was working for 80 hours!
unfortunately i don't know when the probs started to occur. My legend is also with the official Froyo flashed.
regards
Mario

Everyone seems to have this problem since Froyo. HTC fixes it by replacing the motherboard, which basically means they replace 90% of the phone... So basically, there is no real fix around. :/
seem like hardware fault..

Could be so, but it seems strange as the problem starts occuring after flashing to froyo. [Even though going back to eclair doesn't seem to fix it..]
I'm having very strange problem. I installed CheckROM v6 + speedmod k2-21 kernel on my phone and now my battery went crazy. Having some kind of drain when i restart the phone... Today I restarted my phone on 42% battery and when it booted up battery was on 21% and then started to rise to 22,23,24..
Anyone knows what may cause this problem? I also used BatteryCalibration app to calibrate the battery after rom flash.
Pls help!

Charge the phone 100% use the phone three days to give it time to recalibrate .
Flash a different kernel or rom .
That fails go to Better Battery Stats app and thread .
jje
give your phone sometimes. anyway, having able to last for 20 hours is more than perfect. try ask iphone users.
i did ask few of my frens (iphone 4 users), he can't even last for half day, and need to have car charger, usb cable or pc just to prepare to charge the rubbish. lol
edit: forget to mention, they can't play game continuously on their rubbish. their battery will die in around 2 hours (i can have 5 hours continuous online game playing with s2)
btw, your so-called "bug" might be the system is trying to recalibrate itself to the nearest value with the battery level. should be a good news, better than the phone "lying" about your battery.
Good fellow, again around here bothering me. I tell the 19 May last buy a Galaxy S2, came factory sealed, in fact I remove the seal, the question is that since last Sunday something very strange happens to me: charge the battery at 100% and start using the phone normally when it reaches between 30% and 40%, begins to fade as the lighting of the tactile buttons and screen, that when I have activated mobile data and the need as more cel battery consumption between the headed or cel energy loss and lose the signal goes out, if I disable mobile data if it holds until the battery to discharge, but connect with the phone off and make me inmediantamente load of 30% when it is assumed that the cel was shut down because was downloaded.
To tell a friend tell me that you step on something like a SE x10 and it was the battery with a voltage problem. Then you believe it is, that the battery is damaged and not the power to mobile or mobile to be problem?
I wonder I did, I did the following:
Calibrate the battery with CWM (I deleted the batery Stats)
I did 3 complete cycles of battery
With a multimeter measures the voltage of the battery and gave me when it comes to 3.80% by giving the prooblema and 4.10 with the battery fully charged.
To rule out problems with the loader, load it with the PC, the battery lasted a little more me, but I spend as already mentioned.
I flashed 5 times and install the ROM Andyx
If I connect to the socket and use it although it is very hard not pass this probleme when I use it only with the battery, when it comes to the percentage of battery I have before mentioned active data and give it a very intensive use (internet, games, benchmarking, etc.).
Since I bought I notice that my view is loaded very fast and just as quick to download, but until Sunday presents ehstos symptoms.
They think it's worth it to buy another battery or mobile internal problem?
Probe version of ICS LPJ European modem with LPS, the LPW and now I have the ROM ROM Andyx Extremev0 Apollo kernel and all feel the same, with percentage and holds more than others, but all happens to me .
Please help and many thanks in advance.
Well, have been so many months reading this forum, I had never need to post anything cuz everything was on there. Now I´m facin a problem, my Galaxy Note 1 GT-N7000 from 2 weeks battery level drops fastly, like 1% per minute, when was at +-5% the screen starts flickering. Then, this problem continued until it just didnt charge. I bought a new battery and works for 2 days, then the same problem. Did a factory reset, reinstall ROM, calibrate battery, clean caché, data... EVERYTHING for discard software issue, im using Android 4.1.2 Stock ROM with Root acces.
Firts I thought it was the battery, after getting the new one (seems to be original) and the problem continued I think about the USB mini port. Then I switched my uncles GT-N7000 battery, and his battery works fine on my phone, the only detail is that it didnt reach 100% and it was connected for hours, it just reach 92% and when reached 61% it stops for some 30 minutes. Meanwhile my Note's battery on his phone reach 100% but the charge just lasts for 90 minutes.
My questions are:
Can my phone be damaging all the batteries that get connected with it?
Can it be the USB mini port with a short circuit or may it be my motherboard?
PS: Te performance of the device is OK, smooth, fast, opens everything (camera, flash, sounds great), its just the battery level and uncharging. Its out of warranty Would thank any help or suggestions.
