Good Evening
I have a problem with the battery indicator. While I charge 100% just to get it out of the stream begins to bounce up and down from 100% to fall to 1% then goes to 35% and generally unstable indicator.
I have 2 batteries, one original and a Chinese and I do at 2 in the same problem. The phone is root and I rom 2.3.3 DSC v2.3.
I've done what I mentioned in another post but not corrected
1. boot into recovery and clear battery stats
2. download battery calibration app from play store and calibrate your battery.
3. charge your phone completely and let is discharge completely(0%BATTERY) do this cycle at least 2-3 times
your battery might do well

The time, however, keeps the battery is over 24 hours and let the indicator on the 1%
thx
All you need is the first step... not the app

I flashed to the newest release of the Cyanogenmod beta two nights ago and my phone won't charge the battery to a full 100%... I've seen other people post this problem as well. Theirs may stay at like 60%, I saw one person post it won't charge past 19%, etc.
I don't want to flash the ROM again right now, so does anyone know any other fixes?
did you flash cm7 with a full battery? try letting the battery drain to the point that it wont turn on before charging. did you try deleting batterystats in recovery?

That was me who had the 60% battery problem. Here's how I fixed it.
1. Take the battery out of your phone
2. Plug your AC charger into the phone and wait until it gives you the missing battery icon.
3. Plug in your battery
4. Charge for 6 hours
5. Check on it again (it will probably still say 75% for you)
6. Reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats.
7. Viola you have a fully charged battery now.

I'd like to see if this works for you. Be sure to update.
No luck. Phones in charger battery will decrease and get hot.

Lol same thing happening to me too. This time with Darkside 2.5.1.
wont go past 86%... will try this out and update
Download BatteryCalibration from the android market and follow these steps:
1. Load the App.
2. Plug your phone on charge
3. Wait till your battery gets to its max whether it be 70% or wherever it stops.
4. Uncheck the option "calibrate when reaches 100%"
5. Click on Calibrate.
6. Click on Calibrate again (just for good measure) and if it says something like your phone is not supported or battery.dat is missing, then it means you did a good job.
7. Unplug your phone.
8 Drain your battery till 0% literally. (Switch wifi, gps, H+ on while playing Shadowgun....worked for me).
9. When your battery is dead, charge it again and it should reach 100%.
Did you wipe battery stats after the charge?

you can try jug6ernaut's battery fix it might not work since its not a jumping issue but it's the same in that it is not reporting the correct battery amount left

This worked for me, I might have to do it again or something though because now it stays at 96%, much better though. Thanks
About to give this a shot myself. My phone stayed stuck ~82%... couldn't figure out what the hell I messed up on it!
I think as a reminder/heads up, there should be a note on the different ROM threads OP's to tell people they should recalibrate their batteries after flashing a ROM... I had no idea.
Cheers!
Edit: works!

Hi guys, when i try to charge my battery its stop charging with 90% and never goes beyond that. It starts to happen 2 weeks ago.
Any help would be great to fix it.
Thanks,
Did you search this forum?

Boot into recovery, then go to advanced and reset battery stats, then reboot. Use your phone until the battery dies then fully recharge. If this doesn't fix the issue, you may have a bad battery.

Have you Tried to Recalibrate the Battery?
Sometimes the phone battery monitoring gets out of sync and the remedy is to recalibrate the battery.
You can either try one of the available apps in the Android Market or you can do some manual steps available online(just search for Android Battery Recalibration).
Here is one example, scroll down to Battery Calibration section: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-battery-life.2551/
I tried wiping the battery stats and calibrating as well but what worked for me was:
1. Charge for at least 4 hours to ensure a full charge
2. Unplug, turn off, and then pull the battery
3. While battery is out, plug charger back in and wait for the battery icon with the question mark.
4. Reinsert the battery (results will vary here, mine comes up as 5% for some reason)
5. Unplug the charger and then plug it back in, it should show as 100% now
6. Turn on while plugged in, wait until fully booted and then unplug from charger (it should read as 100% or 99%, depending on how your battery gauge works)
This is just what worked for me, I am running Navalynt's pi-crust (based on AT&T 4.5.91) so please be careful and research if there would be any issues with other ROMs

Im unlocked rooted running wetdream. Ever since installing it, the battery indicator wont show charge beyond 95%. When charging with phone off, it reaches 100% but as soon as I power on, it only shows 95%. I've done battery cal app, let die completely twice, charge overnight, pull battery while still plugged in (which I never got missing battery notice for) and wiped battery stats in recovery. Is this something I just need to learn to live with or anyone have any other ideas? Btw, im loving nottachs wetdream rom. I know this has been posted elsewhere, I've tried all those tips. Just wondering if there are any new tried tips I can look into. Tia

Have you tried a fresh reflash of the ROM after you did the battery calibrations?

How did it fix it for you? I tried it last night and still only reached 95%
No need of any app. Just drain the battery till it powers off. Full charge without switching it on. Should get the 100% bck.

i had same issue too,tried a full wipe or flashed different sbfs,but it didn't work at all.i guess it is gingerbread's fault.this didn't happened in 2.2.

I never had this on stock, but with the 10% changes in battery, would I have noticed.
When you are installing custom ROM, this is expected. You can try this,
Steps:
1. Drain your battery till gets shut off, then charge it till it says "Fully Charged" irrespective of 95% or 100%.
2. Once charged, Reboot the phone in recovery mode, keep the phone plugged into charger
3. Start it in Recovery mode using CMW, then remove battery stats
4. Switch off the phone
5. It show battery icon with %, with plugged in remove the battery
6. it will show missing battery icon, then insert the battery.. it will show 5% or 20%
7. Charge it for 3-4 hrs, then reboot the phone, you will see 100%
This Fixed for me...
Hi I've been using Neutrino for weeks and have not been able to get past 97pc battery using all techniques on xda. I finally fixed it yesterday when I installed clamsysns 1.5 kernel and charged over night and it was back to 100.

Just an update. I installed the newest version of wetdream yesterday. Got it to charge to 100% then thru resetting up phone and such, dropped to 18%. Recharged but didn't make it to 100% this time. Got to 95% but 4200mv, so I assumed full charge. At that time it was bedtime, so decided to just plug back into charger for the night. This morning it read 100% again. So its basically getting its full charge, just not showing all the time. A glitch I guess ill have to live with.

i am trying to do this, but no matter how long my phone stays connected it never says fully charged, just keeps showing the animated goo at 90% on top of battrey, it can do that forever, should i try what you said even if it does not say fully charged?
Ok I have had a 3500mah for quite some time... I'm getting tired of the battery saying 1% for a whole day so I never know when it will die. I have read to edit build.prop but my build.prop has nothing to do with the battery mah....

Not sure if this helps, but have you tried wipeing the battery stats .bin file and reboot? Or use a battery callibration app? Sorry if ya already tried that.
Again, this has been covered in the Mugen battery thread. Due to a hardware limitation in the Atrix, the battery level from 100% to 2% covers 2000mah after that the phone will show 1% for the remaining capacitance of the battery.

Strange....wonder if the Photon is really that much different from Atrix. I actually had modded the power-profiles.xml in the framework-res and got my phone to show the proper charge whereby I ended up with it starting at 100% and finally dying at 1% 33 hours later (showing proper charge the entireway).

Just don't believe it...
Why on factory firmware, with full charge, let the phone die down to about 20% than reboot the phone and it will show 100% again. This would last me 3 days farily easy with a reboot or two to get a better %
With cyanogenmod it will just show 1% for a while and seems like it doesn't last as long.

My DX2 suddenly sucks for battery life. This morning I took it off ther charger at 100% and used it for 20 minutes looking at twitter. I got the 15% remaining message and 2 minutes later I get the 5% message and it immediately shuts down. I go to plug it in and the larger battery graphic comes up (the one it shows when you are charging it while it's off). And it says 80%. So I unplug it and turn it back on. Once it went through it's boot up and aquired signal and all that, my battery widget shows 50%. I plugged the charger back in and in about 10 minutes, it said 60%.
A couple days ago, I left the house with 90% and turned on GPS and navigation. I got 8 miles from my house and it shut down due to dead battery.
Is the battery going bad or is the phone going bad that it can't read the battery?
Whenever I check the battery usage, it either shows DISPLAY or IDLE as the number one battery user.
What are you running for a ROM?

Sounds like a battery issue or defect in the phone somewhere. Or, it could be a very old custom rom but you haven't answered that yet so not sure.

No ROM. Bone stock
Sounds like a dead battery to me. If you know anyone with another X2 or a Droid X (same exact battery) try swapping. If you continue to face the issue it is a defective phone. It someone else's battery seems fine it's a defective battery.
