BATTERY LIFE STABILIZING AND INCREASING METHODS
FOR MOTION ROM BETADescriptionOK I know and you also may have noticed that Motion ROM beta Doesn't have the best battery life
I have seen and tried the method of Resting battery stocks method - But it took very long and made my battery life even worse
But I came up with another method By experimentation. So I would like to share it
MethodMethod 1
-Discharge your phone battery untill it reaches 0% and shutdowns by itself
-Power on the device and let it power off by itself again
-Plug in the discharged Device to your charger - Don't restart/reboot
-Let it charge till 100% on the LED display screen
-Now Unplug your charger
-Turn your phone on. It's possible(happened in my case) that the battery won't say 100%, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100% on-screen as well - not switched off
-Repeat this process until it says 100% when you start it up without being plugged in(Most probably after 1st 100% it wont happen again so once is also fine enough)
Method 1.2
-If still weak
-Let your battery discharge all the way down to 0% and let your phone turn off again.
Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption
This Method 1 Worked for me, I am also providing the other method if you have any problem
Method 2
This method was provided for our device by @dr.moh1976
Here is the Original Thread on our device XDA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-grand-2/general/reset-battery-stock-motion-ll-roms-t3313518
This is the Actual Tread/Source - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54836915&postcount=5634
I am mentioning it here too for the ease to find all at one area
1- charge your phone to 100%
2-disconnect charger
3-open phone app and type this code in phone keyboard *#0228# and wait a second
4- this will open a battery status screen and it will show now 100% charge
5-at bottom of screen press "Quick start" a popup window will appear press OK then screen will be locked
6- unlock screen now battery status will be change to your real battery charge level ( surprisingly mine show 66%; what a loss)
7-now reconnect charger and charge again to 100%
8-Repeat steps from 1 to 6 till you get near 100% at step 6.
you will really notice a big difference in battery life
NB; it takes longer time in second charge to reach 100%
Crediti can say that goes to
-Me @sumitgupta06 For working Method 1 and 1.2
- @dr.moh1976 For providing Method 2 on the Section
- @lawyer_06 The actual founder of Method 2
:laugh:Thank:laugh:If you guys like my work or find it satisfying and helpful PLEASE LEAVE A THANK
@lawyer_06 if you don't like the thind that I mentioned your work here you can pm me and I will remove your method ASAP
Guys if you find any other method you can mention it in comment, If it works and is helpful to others, I will add it and we all will give credit and appreciation to you for your work

Hi,
My phone goes to 99% charge without a hitch but wont go to 100%
At 99% battery my i got 4207mV
All i did was to follow the instructions on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198333&highlight=battery
Before that 100% is no problem and after that stuck with 99%
and one more thing my phone shows me messahe on lock screen that phone is fully charged unplug but when i see the battery its just 90%.
From 90% onwards i see unplug message.
I am using Alien#4 ROME and Atrix-GB-Kernel-0.1.7-ext4-sv Kernel
Any suggestions or i am just over thinning ?
Same thing continually happens to me. I've done all the "fixes" and suggestions..and it still does it. Sometimes it goes up to 100%..sometimes 95%. All's I ever do is reboot with the phone still plugged in and "usually" (not always), it boots up showing 100%. IMO there is something with GB that is causing it..cuz i've noticed it on every rom i've tried (Alien, Cherry, CM7 etc)..
=>
Same here. It won't charge past 89%, and it did the same in the past at 92/93 %. I fixed it with a hard reset, but don't feel like doing that again.
Sometimes when I disconnect the charger, the phone still acts as if the charger is plugged in. Only solution is to reboot.
I will try to reboot with the charger connected to ser if that fixed my battery metter. Thanks for sharing.

Another thing i've done (as per xploited's thread), is when phone is fully charged reboot the phone (while still being plugged in) and pop out the battery right away. The phone will reboot with a ? (looking for the battery)..then pop the battery back in and it will usually say 5%. Leave it charging until it reaches 10% (i've never gotten it to go higher)..at which point unplug and reboot your phone.
Just read this interesting tidbit from another thread:
"Recently i have tested "Battery left widget", a market app.
When i go in "Summary" and "History" and "Sensor usage" option, i see this :
Sensor is activ "all the time" since last "plug on wall".
Sensor is in use by "Android System"
I have test this :
Charge 100% (and calibrated with CMW wipe battery or "BatteryCallibration" app before), unplug, and REBOOT.
This manual reboot stop "Sensor" activated by recharg.
After this simple action, battery drain has disapeer, and "sensor" activity too
Battery drain is the same than Froyo, 1 day in suspend mode, 1 hour game, 1 hour web and 15% battery left. It's magic !
I think, System detect the wall plug, and activ "something" in system nether desactivated after unplug.
Reboot is the only way to stop this sensor, and baterry drain"
So basically..after fully charging your phone..reboot with it unplugged and it should eliminate some of the drain people are experiencing. Until a new version of GB comes out..I think we'll all have to deal with these weird battery issues.
same issue here with alien 4
it was all good i used to get a very impressive battery life. but after i put alien 4 ( before that i used first ken's release of GB ) the battery life is worse and it doesn't charge till 100% and the drain from from 98 to 90 is very quick compared to other drains in range of 10%
With the 1% mod your phone thinks that the battery is at 100% while at 95%... like 94% would be 90% so it would take a while to get to the full 100 because it doesn't want to overcharge the battery and damage it. Also don't worry about the 100% 4200mv is the normal capacity of the battery's cells aslong as it that or over its still fully charged
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
As mentioned above, you're fine if you're at 4200mv. Ymmv because of battery. And the juice is calculated by software. No chip on the battery. If your mv are significantly under 4200 mv then you need to calibrate. If it's close or over, quit worrying and rebooting and just use it. Sometimes my phone flies through 90's but after that it settles down and everything is normal. If you keep trying reset battery stats your battery is not going to calibrate because you're not discharging enough for the software to figure out more accuracy with numbers it gives you.
I voided my warranty.
Without any thing doing battery is back to 100% charging
Yep, what the other posters wrote is right. To summarize:
1. If you are at 4200mv, stop worrying what % it shows, because you are at full charge.
2. Android software tries to keep the time when battery is @100% to a minimum, because fully charging and completely discharging on regular basis hurts the battery.
3. The battery meter is lying to you, and it's not such a bad thing, read the article -

I am using CM7.1 Weekly #4 and i am unable to charge it to full 100%. the best i can get is 95% and it says battery full on lock screen. i don't know how battery percentage works in CM7, battery life is awesome so can any one help me how to get back to 100% charging like stock rom.
If you just flashed the rom then it could take a couple charge cycles for it to work itself out. Another "trick" I've read about is to:
1. Turn off the phone and take the battery out
2. Plug it in while the battery is still out and still turned off
3. Wait for it to display the "battery logo", it should have a question mark in it
4. Put the battery back in, still leaving it turned off, and wait for it to recognize the battery
5. At this point it might only show like 5% or 10% charge, don't worry about that, just let it sit on the charger for about 30 minutes to an hour while leaving it still turned off
6. After waiting, turn it on while plugged in and wait for it to boot and then unplug
From my understanding, this is a method to "bump charge" it.
Also, try using search next time instead of starting a new thread.

yes i am aware of that method, i think this method is only if ur facing bad battery. i am having gr8 battery just wrong percentages that's all.
First of all it wouldnt charge past 99%, And then, after one hour of standby it went down to 88%!!
Cm7 official stable release.
Me too no pass 99% :S
Try to download a "battery caliberation" app and do that, also burn it to 0% and charge to 100% while the phone is off..i heard that this might help.
Now i will flash Nottachtrix and do what i wrote Good luck man !

The charging thing is something that is (seemingly) well known throughout the community. I have tried to do the calibration, but it doesn't seem to work that well (at least for me). There is a thread around here somewhere for fixing the issue. I just have never tried it due to work reasons.
The charging past 99% is a known issue with most of the ROMs. There is a thread in here that takes you step by step to get it to display 100%. Basically....
Charge the phone long enough to where you know it should be at 100% even though it is still displaying 99%.
Power the phone off while it is still connected to the charger and then pull the battery.
With the battery pulled, power the phone back on until you see the battery indicator with the "?".
Put the battery back in and reboot.
You will then see the display of 100% with the phone still connected to the charger. The only downside is that as soon as you disconnect the charger, it will drop back to 99%. I have done this multiple times.

I read good things about it.
First of all, use Wipe Battery Stats function at recovery.
1 - Discharge all your smartphone battery;
2 - Connect it to the wall charger and don't turn it on;
3 - Wait till it shows you 100%;
4 - Remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, put it again and keep it turned off;
5 - Wait 30 minutes, keep it connected to the wall charger and press power button till it turns on;
6 - Wait 30 minutes, keep it connected to the wall charger and use Battery Calibration App to calibrate it;
It doesn't make any sense, but sometimes, after step 5, i prefer connect it to usb port in a laptop or computer and wait one hour. It always worked with me.
It might solve your problem .
Wiping battery stats does nothing. it just takes a few charge cycles. If it's a new rom and it's draining fast it's also cause you are probably playing with it a lot

It could be a bluesleep problem... Install CPU Spy App and look if it goes into deep sleep mode. If not, there is a fix for it.
Aside from the OP's issue with the battery draining quickly, why does it matter if it doesn't show 100%?
Nothing can ever 'really' be 100% charged because as soon as you take it off mains it is instantly on the battery at lets say 99.9999%...
As long as the battery doesn't drain quickly I couldn't care less if its showing 99 or 100%.
The problem was that it was draining very quickly to smt like 50% and then it would hold longer...I just wiped everything, restored a neutrino 2.7 nandroid backup i had, flashed the jug fix v2 and now it shows 100%
hi guys! i'm running cm7.2 on my su660 (it's a kang build which is ported from p990 official CM build). and i have a problem on charging the phone. when the phone have 10% of battery left, i plug in the charger, the phone show the charging symbol . but when i leave it sleep and come back after 'bout 3 hours, it still show 10%. but the voltage in sparepart is aproximate 4200 mV. so the battery is fully charged but the rom didn't regconize it. but then after some minutes turning the screen on, the rom show that phone is fully charged. so i guess that the battery percentage counter doesn't work why the phone is pluged in and sleep. so this is a rom issue? can i fix it myself?
PS: sorry for my poor English because i'm not a native English speaker. i'm from VietNam. i tried my best to explane my case. hope u can understand me!
If, after rooting or more likely that case after flashing a new rom, you often have battery reporting errors, and re-calibrating the battery along with some steps I will outline for you below will ensure that your battery is getting a full charge, and the battery reporting accuracy is right on. As far as power cycling, I don't know that it does much good. I run my device in performance mode all the time, and with a CPU overclock of 1.25GHz and various tweaks, I have about a day an a half to a day and a quarter of full runtime from my battery. This is with moderate to heavy usage (calls, emailing, text, gaming, web browsing, etc.) so you should have no problems getting acceptable battery performance after following these steps:
1. Take the case off your device (one of the latter steps involves taking the battery out from the phone while it's plugged in. Make sure your case won't stand in the way.)
2. Install Battery Calibration app from the market
3. Plug in your device to charge while it's on, wait till it gets to a 100%
4. When the charge is 100%, open the BatteryCalibration app and lookup what the charge is in MV while at 100%. Write it down.
My Atrix 2 was showing ~3400MV while at 100%, which is definitely not the maximum capacity.
5. Discharge your device completely until it shuts off.
A good way of doing this quickly is by turning on wifi, and a video player.
6. Without turning on the phone plug it into a wall charger and let it get to 100%
7. When it's at 100%, without unplugging it from the wall charger, take off the battery cover, and take the battery out.
Your phone will "reboot" and show a Missing Battery icon.
8. Without unplugging the phone from the wall charger or turning it on, put the battery back in and wait until the phone recognizes the battery.
9. Your battery should now be recognized by the phone, and showing a charge % significantly lower than 100%.
Mine showed only 5%.
10. Let it sit there charging for 2-3 hours (or more).
My phone wouldn't charge past 10%, but yours might. The numbers don't matter much as the phone is definitely getting additional charge that could have been lost while flashing ROMs, etc.
11. After 2-3 hours (or more), turn the phone on while holding the volume down button and get into CWM (if installed) or use Rom Manager (is device is supported).
Do not disconnect it from the charger still!
12. Wipe battery stats in CWM, reboot.
Do not disconnect it from the charger still!
13. When the phone turns on, go into Battery Calibration app again and look up your MV numbers -if you were like me, they should be significantly higher than before. After this whole process I had 4351MV at 100%, comparing to 3400MV before calibration.
Do not disconnect it from the charger still!
14. Before going to sleep - Install Watchdog Task Manager Lite from the market. Go into it's preferences, set CPU threshhold to 20%, check "Include phone processes", check "Monitor phone processes", check "Display all phone processes", set system CPU threshhold to 20% as well.
Do not disconnect it from the charger still!
15. Make sure your wifi and data connections are off. Now finally unplug the phone from the charger.
Go to bed, let your phone sleep too.
16. Success! Next morning check where your battery % is at and if you followed the instructions correctly / got lucky like me, your battery life should be 90% or more.
I went to bed with 98% and woke up to 94%. So, I consider this mission a success.

It is my first post and my English is not very good, so if something is wrong, please correct me.
Some users have reported that when the battery reached 15% of android, mobile phone alerted 'low battery' and battery level drops to 1% and the phone hung up.
But when he began plugged the charger from 15%. And that was not the case for lack of calibrating the battery, has more to do with 'Custom ROMs' and 'kernels'.
1. The solution is simple, just let the battery runs out (15%) and mobile off.
2. Then turn on the phone one more time, so that you make sure that the battery died.
3. Hold the phone off and then remove the battery for about five minutes.
4. After that put the battery, switch on the phone again and put the charger before it shut down. (The mobile will shut down anyway.)
5. Remove the charger and, even with the phone turned off, reconnect it.
6. Wait for the screen 'battery charge' appear.
7. Wait a few seconds and turn on the phone.
8. If everything goes well as my mobile, your phone will start charging from 1%.
9. Complete the charge, disconnect and use the mobile phone until your battery runs out.
10. And the issue is resolved.
PS: You may need to repeat the process once more.

Thank YOU.

This will work if the problem with the battery is the power meter. These steps are similar to the ones recommended by Sony Service :good:.
Here is how Sony says to do it:
1. Charge the phone to 100% using the wall charger.
2. Remove the power cable and the battery for 10-15 minutes (no power al all to the phone).
3. Return the battery and power up the phone. The battery meter should have dropped by about the same magnitude as your drop off (15% using your example. It may not be exactly the same number but should be about the same.
4. Charge the phone to 100%.
If you have to do it more than once, you probably didn't do step 2 long enough.
use battery calibrate (instruction included). get it on app store. or if you unlocked bootloader and have CMW, just wipe battery in CMW.
none of this solutions isn't working for me
