Recently I've had a problem where my battery meter doesnt go down till I reboot. Sometimes it will, and then it'll drop like 15% or so. I've had 100% for like thirty minutes now and its kinda scaring me.
Das Bamf 1.3.2
Ziggys 4.6.11 CFS kernel
Edit: it just dropped to 97%... No 99 or 98

I had the same problem on Das Bamf....couldn't figure it out. I'm on Perfect Storm now and have no problem with it reading correctly now. I like Das Bamf but can't use it until that is working.

I'm not so sure its a problem with the Rom. It didn't start happening till I wiped my battery stats a couple of times.

i been having the same problem but only on my extended battery. if i put my stock one in it reads it just fine and it drops down. when i put my extended battery in it gets stuck forever and if i reboot the phone i lose like 30 percent later on in the day. i did all the methods i can find.
bump charge the phone wipe status let it discharge completely recharge it full and still nothing. i dont worry about my phone dying because its the extended battery but its just more annoying than anything

its not a rom issue for me I believe because I tried chingy rom also and had the same problems. I am now trying virus and will see. But as mention the stock battery works just fine for some reason.

Game the extended battery as well, started napping when flashing p. Storm v1.2

Well I am having the same problem, except I am on the stock rom, and have never wiped my battery data. I am however rooted, and removed some of the verizon bloat (e.g. blockbuster, ect). Stock battery as well. The indicator and widgets will show the correct percentage on boot, but will not update after that.
I noticed it last night when I was trying different battery widgets. I have tried removing them, rebooting, nothing seems to help.
***UPDATE***
I think I fixed my problem, i'm not sure if they are all related, but here is what I found. I noticed I was getting a force close by SuperUser. So I force stopped it and cleared its data. Did a reboot and now all seems well. No force closed and the indicator appears to be updating.
I'm using battery left widget its fixing my battery metter
-Monky_1
Ive been having this with every rom, well virus roms for sure, I just drain the battery all the way down until it dies, then after i fully charge it, it refreshes... goodluck
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.

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..

May want to confirm that you don't have any apps installed that are draining battery life. I have been on 6.5 for a day or so and do not see this drain whatsoever.

You might want to be careful before you bash a beloved rom. 6.5 works great. Try disabling the swipe features or Google Now. Something is eating your battery, but you need to research it, instead of just saying a version sucks. My battery life is great.
Not trying to be a jerk about it, but badmouthing gets you nowhere.

I never use those swipe fancy crap. As I said, my phone is on airplane mode which means no installing of new apps. I do not know how you use your phone but by just saying its great is ignorant.
I do the same stuff before and after the flash which is reading ebooks/playing 1080p movies/playing games(hill climb racing) and the battery drain is noticeably worse(and yes, I didnt update or changed any settings on any of my apps

Whoa...take it easy. Did you try doing a full wipe and clean install? You might have just had a bad flash...
If you really want to downgrade without losing data, you should just restore the nandroid you made before you upgraded. You DID make a nandroid first didn't you?

I bought my RAZR off Craigslist, came with a hdmi dock and a car dock. Anyways the battery seems go be terrible. I have nothing syncing such as email and twitter accounts, and put it in sleep mode or turn it off when I'm Not using it and the phone won't even last me a few hours..my phone is always on the lowest brightest. If I start to play games on it it'll run down even faster. I'm running stock 4.0.4 on the USA Verizon version. Is there a battery reset? Or is my battery worn out and I need to replace it? I'm fine with removing the back and putting in a new one but should I do the maxx conversion? Or just look for a Maxx to purchase. I really love the razr but I need a phone That's going to last me a full day.

Re:
I would recommend installing a task/cpu usage app from play store (there are pretty good ones for free) and analizing which processes is draining your battery, I did that and noticed a process using 70% almost always, had to reflash. Good Luck

I bought motorola razr maxx then update OTA to ICS and used for about 2 days. I feel my phone getting hotter while use for few minute. The Back case get warm and screen getting hot while i put on my cheek like to make a call. I check battery temp is about 36-38 celcius. Phone get normal again quickly when not use for a moment. Is it normal? If not i will return back to the store
I have charge this phone for the first time while phone off until full. I get about 1 day with not often use, about 8 hour phone idle but connected to wifi. I charge again while phone off till full again and i use until now, i get 12 hour 40 minutes with 40% battery connect to 3G. Is it normal or its not quite longer battery life for motorola razr maxx.

there is a list with every safe system app you can freeze, and it is in the android development section. you will find it

latest ICS is stable, all right. but JB is a lot faster and battery friendly (soak=test version, in verizon case official update)
I strongly suggest that after you get used with the phone, you move to JB update
