Dear forum!
I have the problem, that it seems like my Backup battery is defective. If I remove the main battery a hard reset occurs. So I removed the Backup Battery for replacement. But following is strange: When I remove the backup battery and turn on the device the status bar of the battery shows 100%. Is this ok. Normally it should show that the battery is not available.
Any expierience with that?

As the subject says, when i restart my xda mini s the battery status stays at 100% !!
I have to take the battery out for it to start going down slowly, but then i don't really know how acurate it is after that.
Is there a way of resetting the battery status ?

Its a known bug with the wizards - just keep the soft resets down to a minimum, seems to be no other way.
Hi,
I have an Imate JAM, it does now show battery status. When I go to Settings -> Power, it shows 0% and with it, it says 'Unknown.'
What to do?
It does charge, but doesn't show charging status.
have you tried a hard reset ?
Yes, I have tried hard reset. It used to happen occasionally. The phone does charge. I know it because if I don't charge, it just shuts down to let me know that the battery is fully empty now. This error occasionally gets fixed. It does sometime start showing the battery status, but then again goes back to the problematic condition.
Try using other battery meters like "Ariel battery meter" see what they indicate.

do u live in a city where temperatures are near zero? this could be one reason.
or
backup ur data on storage card, flash rom 1.12.00 and see if anything happens.
or
if ur device still works perfectly with this problem, ur magician is having a hard time determining the amount of battery remaining...can still contuniue with it.
I am using a nand build, and i changed the status icons in the framework. but now the battery icon wont update as the battery drains, its supposed to be at 90% but the icon still reads full. is there a way to fix this? when i look at battery status it reads that is draining so for some reason there is an issue with the icon changing along with the battery reading.
I've had my phone for 20 months now and apart from the odd freeze it's been fine. When I first got it I installed an app/cab that shows how much battery is left in percentage. For the last couple of months this hasn't been working properly. For example it might show there is 20% of the battery left so I put it on charge. When I unplug it, it is still showing 20% so I need to restart the phone and then it shows the correct level. Yesterday it was showing 42% so I put it on charge this morning as I need it full for today. When I unplugged it, again it was still showing 42%. So I restarted it and it then showed 22% (was only on charge about 40 minutes). So obviously the battery was close to 0% rather than 42% when I put it on charge. This doesn't happen all the time, maybe once a week.
Do I just need to uninstall/reinstall the app, is there a better one I could use or could it be a battery issue? The phone is still on 6.5 but I might try a custom ROM now it's out of warranty.
Well, its quite a common problem now really...Firstly, you might want to recalibrate your battery. Read through this link and install the app: (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-m...e-battery-discharger-better-battery-life.html)
If your battery percentage is still not displaying values correctly even after following the instructions and using the app, you have to try other methods.
Try downloading another battery percentage app (http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile...-monitor-show-battery-percent-windows-mobile/) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584772). Before you install the app, you should uninstall your current cab and observe the default battery indicator icon. If that does not correlate with your actual battery life, then ditch installing other percentage indicator apps and proceed to the steps below. If the default indicator is working well, then its your application thats causing the problem. In this case, reinstall the cab or install a different percentage indicator app. You can also skip the below steps(but you should really give custom ROM flashing a try. It will lead to many extremely good wonders like Android and WP7)
If the above does not work, it is recommended that you flash a custom ROM that is compatible with your phone.Also ensure you flash the right HSPL and radio. Most custom(and the popular/good) ROMS have a battery percentage indicator cooked in. If the ROM you flashed doesnt have the indicator,install the battery indicator app and see if your issue is fixed. Again, monitor the default battery indicator first before moving
If everything has failed and both your battery percentage indicator and default indicator is not displaying the correct values, the problem should most likely be in the battery. Get a new battery and see if that fixes the problem. Hope this helps. Gd luck!
Hi,
In my rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 ) I used to have a battery indicator which showed remaining battery in percentage. Now I re installed it and the battery icon shows just remaining battery without number and I cant find settings which would allowe me to change it.
Any suggestions? Thanks!!!
