i've had the same issue. and taking forever to charge. i followed some steps in another thread to wipe battery stats. i'll see if that fixes it.
steps are:
fully charge the phone
boot into recovery (i have anon) and choose wipe - wipe battery stats
use phone as normal & let battery drain down
recharge to full.
i'll see if that fixes anything.
i just did all that. still at 100% awake time when charging.

Do you mean awake time is 100% or the screen stays on? Can you see what is staying awake?
Charging over USB?
The Hero has always keeps a partial wake when charging over USB.
no i mean when im charging my phone the awake time keeps going up and doesnt stay down. if i would to trun my phone on and charge it right away the awake time would be at max 100%. when im charging my phone via WALL charger..i see in about phone battery it says "charging (USB)" but im using the wall charger. wtf ?

Not sure why it says charging (USB) but if it thinks it's charging over USB then it will keep the phone awake, period. That's how it's always been.
hm, maybe its a bug ? cause im using the wall charger.
am i the only one with this issue ?
??????????????????
come on guys i still have this problem. its so annoying.
i'm no longer having this issue after wiping battery stats. battery life is also really good
the battery wipe trick...all i do is wipe the battery stats then let the phone die on its own ?

Charge it to full first. Then wipe battery stats. Then keep it off the charger until the battery dies. After that, recharge to full before using it again. That should clear any issues with charging memory. Not sure why it would do anything for 'awake time' when USB connected (you can turn that off in applications/development), and it CERTAINLY shouldn't stay awake while on the wall charger. But since someone else said it did the trick, can't hurt to try it.

hey guys.
lately my Hero seems to be draining battery like crazy at night when the phone is on stand-by. i have the villainrom 10.3 ROM installed, and during the night the only app that was running was "clock". no wifi or mobile network turned on, no GPS etc, and were talking 45-50% battery drain for 8 hours with the phone in stand-by.
why is this happening?
I had the same problem yesterday. In 5 hours my battery drained 80%, so I closed all the apps that was running, but still no change. I then restarted my phone, and after that, it looks normal, but will update if it does it again.
Hope someone has an answer...
Firstly, have you recently flashed a rom and when doing so hard your phone on charge?
If so you will need to run a procedure to reset your battery.
Either
Discharge down to around 5%, go into recovery wipe batt stats, then charge to full with it powered off
or
Charge to full with power on, then power off and charge until green light again. Then wipe batt stats and boot and continue normally.
If you have not flashed a rom recently then this is unlikely to be the issue and something else will be draining your power, e.g. an infinite sync?
Thanks, will try that
thanks lenny, yeah i recently flashed to villainrom but i do believe the problem started a few days prior to it, will try to reset the battery.
how can i check the infinite sync problem?
either by reading a logcat or checking to see if the sync icon is always on and never seems to go away.
Best practice is to untick everything you don't need to sync in the sync menu.
Allrightyroo, I don't see the sync icon and I think all the syncs I do are manually. Did the battery wipe now, I'll see if it helps.
Btw, is there any difference in charging thru USB or wall socket? I might be biased but I feel I get better battery performance when charging with wall socket..

It will charge quicker from a wall socket but it won't be any better.
Well, I've tried everything but it still drains up to 50% battery during the night, avg. 8 hrs or something. Have turned off background data and sync, wiped battery stats, recharged the way Lennyuk explained etc etc.
what the hell is wrong? My Hero is unusable if I have to charge it as often as this.

Reflash / change ROM.
And about USB or wall socket. There is big difference. USB gives only 500mA, when the wall socket gives is 1000mA. Feel any difference? Do not charge you battery by USB too often.
P.S.
Check with task killer whats on when you go to sleep. Try to kill tuchflo before standby.

Charging through a wall socket makes no difference other than it will take long to charge via USB

Well, IMHO there is difference, because of we have double ammount of ampers, with the same voltage. Charging with USB is slower, and may charge battery not to 100% (even if phone is saying it is 100%). Ofcourse it will not damage your battery if you use USB.
i had this problem prior to flashing to VillainROM 10.3, i used Modaco 3.2 up until then. checked my taskkiller and nothing was using battery other than "clock".
Do you have the calender widget on your home-screen? That widget is draining the battery like hell. Had also the same problem after i've added the calender widget to my homescreen.... after removing it, everything was normal.
yes i do actually, will remove it and see if there's a difference.
Try removing auto-sync or the calendar sync because if i remember well there is an issue with that with a few roms..
Removed the widget and had 54% battery for atleast two hours now, seems to be the root of the problem.
Can someone explain the uptime and awake time? When I checked my Hero this morning after 9hrs of sleep it said
Up time: 20h 48 min
Wake: 2h 39min
and this is without touching the phone for 9 hrs.

I'm interested as well. Where do you remove calendar sync? I could only find the Google calendar sync, and unticking it didn't change anything. Calendar still appears in Spare Parts on Partial wake usage.

Up time is the time the phone's been on.
Wake time is the time when you have been using the phone (screen on). When you turn the screen off, wake time should stop until you turn the screen on again. If wake time still goes up even when the screen's off, then there must be some application preventing your phone from sleeping.
Yeah, and that is kinda strange since "clock" was the only open application during that period. What does it say on your Heroes when you press the sleep button and then wake it up and check battery stats? 10 sec?

I was going so far because of this problem, that i asked htc about a new battery, after i told them that the calender was the source of this problem i asked if they will update it, but i didn't got a clear response... in the end in the response was nothing standing... well maybe they got it with the 2.1 update
Hi guys,
After a week with hard usage, I decided to adjust my SGS2 battery. Maybe you know this method anyway... It works for me at least and I can see the improvment.
Here we go,
Let the phone charge 100% full. Unpluge and turn it OFF...
Plug charger and wait again till 100%...Then unplug it again...
Turn the phone ON ...Use a few minutes DONT PLUG.
And finally, turn it OFF again and plug charger and wait till 100% full of charge.
Now you can turn it on and use...DONE...
Hope it helps...
This is close to the way of doing it, but the battery stats file remains. So to improve this further, you'll need to wipe the battery stats. Let it decharge. Then charge it to 100% while it's off or something.
So what does that give to you? Better batery life? How did you decide that it works?
Its like; after 10-15 minutes playing game, battery is still 100%

new to the atrix.
I installed the latest oat update, and the phone was @ 70% after charging all night. I also noticed it discharge updates only by 10% increments.
I installed the homepage Rom, and it charged overnight to 93%.
I've applied the battery fix, but that only seems to stabilize the display (I noticed it fluctuating before the fix)
is there a fix? I've done calibrations on phones, but I needed to get 100% and the charge while off. Not sure how I can calibrate if I can't get a full charge while on.
Use recovery to wipe battery stats. If it still fails to display 100% when charged shut the phone off. Take the battery out, then plug the phone in. Wait until the "?" on the battery shows up. Then put the battery in while it is still plugged in. Leave it like that for about 30 mins. When you click the volume button the battery will show only 5-10%, but turn the phone on and it should read 100%.

I'll try that. I already wiped battery a couple times in cwn
OK, then the 2nd part should do the trick. It works for me anyways. Once you do see 100%, wipe batt stats again and let the battery die, then charge while the phone is off. Should fix you up.

You might have to wipe battery stats several times. I had an out of the ordinary calibration problem between flashing roms and had to wipe everything several times before it started working properly. Also note, that charging up to 95%-99%, and unplugging and plugging back in and slowly charging past 95% is common and not a problem. The software is estimating battery charge. And if you do charge past 95% and unplug its ok if it quickly goes back down to 95% and then tapers slowly.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
You have to wait for battery to go beyond 95%.
It takes time but it goes their.
My personal experience.
Just drain the battery til it dies. Then plug it in over night while you sleep. Once you wake up wipe battery stats and everything should be good.

Hi, today I went to office, I can see the battery reading is 84% after one hour of use in the transportation. When I plug the phone to the charger it shows 100% immediately (Charge so quickly isn't it ? :laugh. It remains 100% even I reboot the phone. Did anyone meet this bug?
Have never encounterd such a thing. Are you rooted?
Sv: Incorrect reading for battery after updated to 4.2.2
Never seem it but try a factory reset. I always do one after a system update.

It's likely nothing is wrong. After every ROM flash, the battery calibration always messes up a bit. Just use the phone normally and the calibration will fix itself after a couple charge cycles. If you want to fix it sooner, run the battery down and charge it again.

That will happen with any/all N4's at some point. More commonly the battery will lie to you, forget to update battery level during deep sleep, etc... Your phone isn't "broken".
Mines just did that today.. Was at around 38, plugged it to the laptop to transfer stuff, took it off showed 100.. reboot fixed it but now I have to recalibrate

i tried it on my old phone and it worked. So far my N4 is still fairly calibrated.
batterystats.bin has absolutely nothing to do with the battery level your phone is showing you. Its a per charge battery history file, i.e. what you see if you go to Settings>Battery.

As far as am aware it doesn't really work? So your saying changing recovery for you helped with your battery, coz like i take it off charge and its 100% then it jumps down to 97% after a few minutes and am not even doing anything.. and i just got this phone this week. Am tempted to send it back, i don't know what to do?

That is because you left the phone plugged in for so long that it hits 100%, then it starts discharging to prevent overcharge.. so it drops to 95%, then charges again. You took it off at 97% (yes, it might still have shown 100% for a little while so you don't go and plug it in again).

first of all try a battery calibration program like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en
maybe it is a calibration problem.
as far as i know batter stats are not erased with a factory reset
then try an app like this :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.bmw&hl=en
it should tell you the battery capacity and see if everything is working as it should.
good luck! i hope that will solve your problems, or at least find out what your problem is!
P.S. if it is an app related problem, or wakelock related you can find it with betterbattery stats.

That battery calibration app is a placebo. The batterystats.bin file doesn't do anything to change the microcontroller inside the battery pack itself.

Allow the phone to discharge fully until it turns itself off, by normal use and not using a battery draining app (or a benchmark). Then charge slowly and continuously until full, without making the battery hot, eg. by USB port on computer.
If you discharge too quickly you risk getting the red light of doom.
