Hi all!
I recently flashed Trigger + Overstock. The problem is related to battery drain. I am trying to re-condition the battery/wipe battery stats...However, My battery will not charge to 100%. It stays at 99%. I assume this isn't normal. Wondering if anyone else has come across this before?
Any ideas? Or can someone point me in the correct direction to fixing this?
Thanks!
My devices usually stay at 97% no matter how long I charge it.. Sidekick 2008, iPod Touch, Vibrant, even my computer.
I'm not sure why.
Yeah...it's just weird. I mean it used to charge all the way up to 100% and even notify me that it was completely charged before I flashed it.
By no means am I complaining about it. I just was wondering if that was normal after a flash. Also, more importantly will re-conditioning of the battery still have the same effect even though it's not at 100%? That's my real concern to get good battery life without going back to stock.
Thanks!
I had the same issue for awhile and honestly it seemed to more or less resolve itself after a few charges. I don't know if that was just my experience of the ROM updating the battery stats.
Have you fully charged the battery and wiped the battery stats? Even after doing so, it may take a few charges for the ROM to fully recognize the proper battery levels.

Yeah, I fully charged it...well to 99%. Then wiped battery stats. Hopefully like you said it will correct itself after a few charges.
In regards to wiping the battery stats, did you use root explorer and delete the batterystats.bin file in the system folder or did you try to wipe the via the CW Recovery menu? I personally never had much luck doing it through the menu.
every time i charge my phone to full, the battery level reads that i'm at 91%, never at 100%. i deleted battery stats in recovery but the problem persists. i got an htc inspire and running absolution 3.7. how do i fix this?
my current absolution rom is a backup. i had 3 different roms before restoring this rom. should i have done a full wipe besfore restoring the rom? could this be the problem why my battery doenst give a good read?
How did you charged before wiping stats?
The best way:
- power off your phone completely
- charge battery
- wait till battery-LED is green (maybe just wait a little bit longer)
- start into recovery
- wipe battery stats

hi choliemelan.. to answer your question, i had my battery at 90% before wiping battery stats in recovery.
but i got a quesrtion for you.. my current rom is a backup of absolution. i had 3 different roms before restoring this rom. should i have done a full wipe before restoring the rom?

Ok, just try out my suggestion with charging in power-off-mode

the 3 Roms you used before were Absolution, too, but different versions? So a full wipe is recommended, but shouldn't be essential.
In case of trying fully different Roms, a full wipe / factory reset is neccessary, also if you are using a "xyz"-Rom before and want to roll back to a backup of Absolution-Rom.
also your battery might have started to get weaker. if you use the phone a lot and make lots of charging cycles battery life gets shorter. also if you plug it for a minute or for an hour its considered a charging cycle. so if you have a lot, then you might have to get a new one

hi choliemelan.. actaully, i used 3 completely different roms, not different versions of Absolution, just to let you know. tell me what you think i should do.
Its not a strange problem man, google it, it happens all the time, just keep charging it properly and it will be fine. I wouldnt worry about it, some phones go to 100% and drop like a stone till 90% then go normal, its just the way your phone translates it
I had similiar problem...whenever i played games or anything that used 30% battery or battery was below 20% I pluged to charge but it stayed there for 1:30 hour 0o. So i unpluged and played games till 0% and phone "died". Than removed battery for 2 mins and charged to 100% without turning on...
when you use all of battery take battery out(i dont know why but it makes battery better). This battery in androids really mess up things...hope u fix it

yeah my battery today started off at 97& after full charge. then when i checked on it 6 hours later, it reads like it started at 100%.. this is very strange.
Kind of similar problem with me, Even after keeping my htc one v in charging for 4 hrs, the battery still reaches 85 ~ 90% always, and then it charges at snail's speed.
If i restart my phone at this point, the battery indicator shows 100% !
I am confused, since if it was a genuine trickle charge, the battery percentage should remain same even after reboot.
Recently installed Safestrap 3.05 in motorola droid RAZR having stock 4.0.4. Everything else works great but as soon as i create a ROM slot the battery falls to 95% and when i install a new ROM the battery meter meters shows fully charged at 95%. The battery then starts discharging way faster and the back cover also gets heated up
But when i go back to the stock ROM the battery is on 100% even though it shows drained to 85% in the custom ROM. And the coustom ROM battery monitor shows the android OS to be using around 50 to 60% of the battery.
I tried syncing up the battery levels by uninstalling safestrap then charging the battery to full and then install back safestrap. I tried installing different ROMs but experienced the same battery draining problems. I also tried resetting battery stats but without use
Normally battery life is up to one and half days with normal usage. But in the custom ROM its barely 6 to 7 hours.
Has anyone faced this problem ? Is there any method by which it can be rectified ?

Had tried it. Tried draining it to to around 5% and then recharging it to 100%. And the thing is it doesnt show 100% in the custom ROM. As soon as i reach 95 it says battery full. In the stock ROM it works perfectly fine. Presently i have the custom ROM installed. In it the battery is 86% and when i reboot and go into stock it shows that my battery is fully charged. I initially thought that if this is just a stat error it wont be a big problem as my battery still will have the juice to run the phone. But later on the back cover seems to get hotter. Its as if the ROM is trying to discharge the battery even though not needed. I dont know if that is possible but thats the thing confusing me. And it doesnt seem as if other people are having this problem. Dont know why.
Hello. I was low on battery and i flashed a kernel and now the phone is not booting up. And the battery gone to 0% and now i cant change the kernel. I put it for charge and it cant charge. Very strange. Any ideas? I dont have other phone like this to recharge the battery.

Some guys in russian forums say that if you leave your phone charging for 15 minutes without battery the it'll wipe all the information on the device. Including all the firmware, basebands and kernel. Exactly EVERYTHING, sdcard also, after the procedure you will have a nice piece of plastic. It may give you a chance to reflash your device. Pretty flimsy, but may worth a shot. After deleting everything just flash it through flastool.
I'd reccomend you search the information about this method.
This was long time ago and i solved it with another battery.
Hey there,
hope you guys can help me out on this:
For about 3 weeks, my battery is going crazy. The statistics won't reset even after a 100% charge (see picture). Battery seems to drain way too fast. Sometimes, charging will get stuck at 66% or something (unplugging + plug back in doesn't help). Or it will jump from 89% to 100%, and will remain at 100% when the charger is unplugged, but jump back to 89% after a reboot.
Long story short: I think I need to reset something here. But I'm not entirely sure what else to try. I've erased the batterystats.bin using the Battery Calibration app multiple times. I've tried to do a battery wipe in recovery mode, but my CWM doesn't show that option. I've done several 100% to 0% to 100% complete charge cycles. Even bought a new battery. Without any effect. Kind of clueless
Running Cyanogen 10.2 on Galaxy S2
Glad for any help!! Thanks!
