Usually, I don't bother wiping after swapping roms, but my battery life this time around is being really erratic.
What apps/procedures do I need to accomplish a battery wipe/conditioning?

I got an app called Batter Celebrator that basically just wipes the battery stats.
I know there's a way to do it without an app, but I forgot haha

Charge to 100%, boot into system recovery, go to advanced, and wipe battery stats.
Sometimes you need to bump charge it to get it to fully charge. There's a process to do it from juhde in the DROIDX forums. I put it in the bh6x thread here in the accessories forum.

To bump charge make sure you dont have system recover activated...
charge to 100%
power off
put on charger..
should charge for a bit more.

I though bump charging involved power off when at 15%
plug phone (charge mode)
Wait till 100%
pull battery replace battery charge 45mins...I know im missing a step or two.check the thread mentioned earlier in accessories section about the bh6x battery
Which system recovery? Android recovery or bootstrap?

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
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
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..

After about a week my battery life returned to Gingerbread levels.
I've been having the same problem (XT912) for the past couple of days. I thought maybe I was having network issues so I got a new SIM card from Verizon yesterday, and my battery lasted a long time up until a few hours ago where it started dying fast again. Airplane mode seems to make the drain subside too, but this is pretty crazy. Yesterday I was lucky to get 4 hours on a charge (without even using the phone), but since my new SIM last night I went from 10PM to like 12PM today (14 hours) and it only dropped to 80%, then a few hours to 70%, but then went to 20% within just a couple hours and it's been like that again today. I don't think it's ICS to blame, but something weird is going on for sure.
I had the same problem. I read that if you do a factory reset then it helps. At least it did for me.

You can search in the Play Store for apps that can calibrate your battery.
My battery is very good with ICS and I don`t have such a problems (for now).

Under bbs I get connectivity service with high wakelocks and under usage I get android system at 60%+. Running stock debloated and deodexed with unsecure kernel. Anyone else with the issue ?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Mines at 46% so not sure what your phones doing. As you multitasking on it? This makes the cpu work harder so it consumes more battery. Also could be your brightness effecting it. The DNA has the most powerful screen for android so with that it uses a lot more power to keep it lit. Keep it on low brightness (~25%) and see if this drops the percentage of your usage.

Sounds like something is wrong. It's always hard pinpointing it when it just says android system. If it were me I would just backup anything essential with tibu and wipe. I've had phones do that before and wiping data fixed it.
Sent from my Limited Edition HTC6435LVW 00649
It was just wiped and returned to a debloated stock. Down to 43% now. I've been on it a lot tonight. But still, screen should be at the top. I will keep an eye on it the rest of the night and see what I can do to get it back down. I'm trying not to have to wipe as I just got it redone. Battery stats maybe?

It looks like android system includes all major functions as well as screen. Makes sense I suppose.

Mine started doing this today too. For the past few days I never saw it above 40%, usually always 20% or lower. Today it's at 60% and up for no reason. I don't think I've done anything to it that I can remember. No new app installs or anything.
Have you tried factory reset or stats reset to pin point the problem? I'm guessing that is a rogue app running in the background.

it's an issue in the kernel. need a custom kernel to fix it.
Hello
I am having some serious battery draining issues with ics stock 4.0.4 rooted. I unplugged my phone from the charger and 4 hours later it was on 70%! I have checked if there is some app draining in the background with better battery stats but there is none! What da hell is the problem then? I have set up smart actions so that when I am not home it won't have wifi turned on and keep 3g going and when I am home it will automatically shut down 3g and turn on wifi but it still won't help. Any suggestions? And no I can't use juicedefender because I need my 3g on the whole time.
Some people are getting awesome battery life with ics stock but I can't use the phone without it draining my battery. It will never last even 12 hours.
