Something is wrong with my battery meter

this morning it was 100% and when i got home it was at 87% but after i did a soft reset it said 15% i did another resent and now its at 45%, i cant get it to read the batter correctly anymore?
charged for AROUND AN HOUR and how it says 100%

i am having the same problem after MR2. it was abt 56% after a soft reset(Phone was really slow kind of hanged) wend to 15% and another soft reset back to 54%. some bug i guess

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682270
it seams that it is some bug but no one has found yet an solution..

come on guys, too focus on how bad the x2 is and forgot about the basic problems.. has anyone come to mind it might be the battery?? i had that problem too thinking i have overcharge the battery so when out and buy a new one now its all sweet.. and send the old one back SE they gave me a new one.

well hard to say but it is from the start-brand new battery and from the beginig..li-polymer battery are hard to overcharge-they can be charged even if they have 70% or 80% power still in it...but l have confirmed in Serbia several cases of battery issue-so are they all "overcharged"?

ive had at least a dozen mobile phones over the last decade and ive found with practically every one of them that if you do a reset or turn the phone off the battery meter will drop. this is nothing new and not specific to the X2 or even sony (ive had nokias and philips phones do it). i dont know if its because it takes extra grunt to restart the phone or it loses calibration or what. the battery meter guesses the percentage of power based on the voltage so its not an exact reading anyway. ive found that popping it on charge for a bit seems to sort it all out again.

it never happens to any of my phones. I mean sure, it drops by about 5 percent but that's if I am updating on the phone.

not that it wont stop charging, its just the meter changes erratically with no reason, frim 90 to 4 back to like 50 just from a soft reset

but now how to stop charging?
when my phone is turn on and connected to a wall charger,then charger charge the battery to 100%..and that is that..but it still charging. when phone is off and connected on charger,then it charge to 98%..that is what it shows when i turn on the x2. l have tried battery calibration procedure and nothing..

I noticed this happened on MR1 when removing and replacing the battery (as we all needed to do soooo many times ). Something must be happening with the contacts. I just made sure they were clean and reinserted my battery and haven't had a problem since.

has anyone noticed that when you charge the battery
when the phone is switched off, that the battery does not stop charging? the big battery icon keeps going up an down even if you leave it charging all night? the icon is still showing charge..

i can confirm that too.

My previouse post is a guidline for charging.
With Li-Po's if you over charge them they discharge, this is a well know fact for RC cars/planes that run Li-Po's which is why they have charges with so many settings to get optimal performance and warnings and cut off when fully charged if the cut off/discharge does not take place it makes the Li-Moss (dendrites) unstable, when they get long enough they can short out the battery and cue explosion
When on charge for a long period have you noticed that the battery gets rather hot, and after 30/40 mins it is cool again?? this is because it has been over charged and is discharging to stop it from exploding. it also explains why even tho its been on charged all night its only at %60 odd because the discharge has taken place.
and i have just been told by a work friend that HP are doing a re-call because of the above.

All this you provide is ok,but problem was from the start-brand new phones were bought and from start this happens..so SE sold us defect battery? Funny, but there is no point to talk about over heat and overcharge when simple..battery icon large one when phone is off do not stop or go off display few people tried 9-12h and it still is there. Battery is no hot..it is hot after 2h-little hot..after that phone is cold. l believe that something is wrong with registry keys for charge time..l am not a programmer or developer but l dont think that we all fu*** up our batteries ..this is not a first phone to us..so we are not amateurs in usage of battery charge.

i dont understand.. why would you turn off the phone to charge it? it does appear there is still an error but this isnt necessary and wont charge the phone any faster or more efficiently.

Some times l do not want to be disturbed and if battery is low l turn off the phone...and plug it to charge... obviously there are no body who thinks that this bug is annoying.
This is my first device with such a bug,and because l deal with mobiles(l had over 100 devices and use them form last 10 years) never cross to such a issue..and nobody know how to solve this bug.

Battery not charging to 100%

Been running Android for over a week now and this morning when pulling the phone of the charger I noticed it was only at 89%. This is from a full overnight charge.
Got to work and it had dropped to 85% (Watching videos) and plugged it into my laptop at work and it again only charged to 89%
Anyone else had the same issue. Will cut back to Windows to see if it goes further.

Hello dude!
Try removing the battery, wait a few minutes and put it again. See what happen.
Sometimes it is a error when the driver is "reading" the battery settings/status.
Hope it help!!

Same with me, only 90% with all night chage

Same here mine will only charge to 93% while charging overnight

Rebooting into womo and it then proceeded to charge to 100%.
Not a major but a bug that needs investigating.

also had this issue a user responded to me on the builds thread, he said to let it run down to 5% and plug the charger back in. also the one about booting to wm then back on android should fix it.

Same here at 94%. Seems to be a common problem...

Yes, I've got a same problem.

I've heard that no Charging-Stop exists (in kernel), so you may "destroy" your battery because it is overcharging ... so be careful

mine stops at 93%
yeah im a bit scared for my battery...ive been charging it almost twice a day now cause it dies so fast
i even have SetCPU with the profiles from the other thread, but its still draining REALLY fast...
i hope this doesnt have any permanent damage to the battery :S

where did you hear that? can you confirm?

The no stop sounds like complete nonsense. For one, it would be an obvious massive problem so the devs would have worked on it. Two, if you can detect battery charge it would be really easy to make it stop. Three, if it didn't stop, why did it used to halt at 98% for most people?

2)Battery: at current moment extended battery not supported (2350 mAh). Support of them rather complex however.
also battery working in read only mode, it's why during long android usage u can get wrong results. Will be fixed in future.
Hard reset..is only one solution
Actually _everyone_ can get this problem - after reboot u won't able to launch any external exe (exe from rom will work).
It happen because something sometimes can be corrupted during WM shutdown...
I got this problem two times Both time need to hard reset device.
So I recommend to everyone make backups!
So is it confirmed that robot voice (apt voice ) issue fixed now?
^^
confirm problem
read this before post

I have the same problem. HTC wildfire.

Try recalibrating the battery:
1. Turn off all uncessesary apps in the background.
2. Let the battery of the phone run out until it turns its self off.
3. Take out the battery for 2 minutes
4. Put the battery back in and charge the battery until it is fully charged "At least 4 hours"
5. Once it has charged take the battery out for 2 minutes then put it back in and boot the phone up

I managed
The phone was on and charging all night and it was at 97%. I turned off the phone and left it plugged for couple of hours, on and its 100%. Simples

[HOW-TO] Battery calibration

I've just found that on the desire forum, do you think it will word on ours HD2?
vidler said:
Found this on another forum, I have done this a few times myself (do it whenever i flash a new rom because i always clear battery stats, can't hurt). Have found that it does top it up a fair bit. Before doing this i find my desire will drop to +-93% straight off the charger, however this keeps it 100% longer and i actually get to see the numbers 99-94%
Worth a go in my opinion because it only takes 5 mins of your time and can't hurt the phone... So any minor gain from this process is a win...
Hi *******, I understand your concern regarding battery life on your Nexus One device. The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it. You need to use this sequence only once. If the issue of battery life on our phone persists, I recommend you contact our HTC accessory department directly.

my guess will be no on this. As i think that the batteries are different. and it might be something with batteries that are in droid devices perhaps.

I'm trying right now i'll report as soon as I have an answer!
I think it should work as it's wiping battery stats in android

im trying it too as we speak

I'm pretty sure that calibration will not work currently in android properly. Cottulla posted a few days back that the battery driver is still incomplete and currently only supports reading battery state and that the write too part of the driver has not been implemented. When the driver is complete and has full read/write battery function this procedure should work better.

thats' true i didn't know that . it may be impossible to wipe battery stats this way
....

My battery wasnt calibrated properly and wudnt charge over 90%. Someone in this forum told me to switch off and charge until green and then switch it on. Now my battery seems calibrated plus i got 2 days of use on moderate use

but ive seen several posts of people calibrating their battery in winmo and reporting better battery life....idk maybe placebo

i will try this too. i myself had an issue today. i'm using chuckyrom right now. i use it at work so i can turn the "phone" off while at work. so it is in airplane mode. i only used the phone today to check the time and played some uno on a break. my battery stayed on 100% for 5 hours. so i turned the phone off, took the battery out for 1 minute. put the battery back in and turned the hd2 on. it was still on 100%. 4 hours later it was down to 94%. i just didn't think that a true battery reading. most days when i have the "phone" turned on at work i only have 10% battery left by the end of the day... just seemed odd to me. idk.

Well, I don't know if this works 'properly' or not but it's certainly had an impact so it's doing something right.
Prior to the calibration I could only charge to 95% or so. Phone now seems to be charging to 100% all the time which is good. Battery life also seems great, not sure if this is down to the calibration or not as I moved to Darkstone V2 (16/08/10) release the day before so don't have a baseline.
FYI, as I type this I'm on 49% battery remaining after being unplugged for 10hrs. Fairly light usage, couple of calls; some texting but quite a lot of browsing and XDA App on 3G and WiFi.
Amazing progress the devs are making. Have been running various builds of Android for a week or so no and haven't yet had to revert to WiMo.

Edit: Couldn't figure out how to take a screenshot without plugging in (and hence losing the 'time since last unplugged stat') - so here's a ropey photo for the inevitable 'screenshot or it didn't happen' remark Seems I've been unplugged for 13hrs not 10... where does the day go?!

Anyone able to do this with mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense? The charge indicator LED never changes to green.

Yeah, its hard to remember to take a screenshot before you plug it in (or in my case...reboot the phone)
You may want to try BatterySnap...its a free app in the market which gives you a great battery widget, plus a lot of really useful graphs and information.
I upgraded to Froyostone on the 12th...thats why the information is only going back that far...but as you can see, 18-19 hours a day at moderate usage is what I am getting on a regular basis

Power the phone off...then charge till you get a green light (Maybe even for an extra 10 minutes or so)...power the phone back up and plug into your charger. now it should charge up to 100%
I dont know if the battery itself is limiting the charge, or if its just the battery meter that is not displaying correctly...Anyhow, the above method corrects it for me whan this happens on my phone.

Thanks matey . I've only had my HD2 for five days but thanks to the awesome resource that is the xdadevelopers forum, I'm successfully running Android on my phone. :-D

[Help] Battery charge

Hello guys,
I have a big issue and I'm affraid not to damage my device.
Here's what's happening:
When I've first started using Android builds...my phone batt. was charging to 100%.
After testing and playing with different builds..it would only charge up to 97%.
After even more testing...it only charges up to 95%.
I've always done a task29 before installing a new ROM, I've formatted the SD card each time as well.
Do you know what is going on? I'm affraid that when I leave the phone charging, it won't stop doing it (the led is orange and the icon of charging is there) thus damaging the batt or the device.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help.

I guess the answer you're gonna get from others is "Search before asking". I won't do so though. The answer might be you are using old kernel, updating kernel should work. Alternatively, switch to WinMo and charge it to full, and boot Android.
You should not let baterry drain to 15%-20% while using Android also

Let you phone charge to 100% in WM and then boot into android.

Charge to 100% in winmo. Leave it still plugged in, and boot android. That way the 100% caries over to android.

why we not sould let batery drain to 15%-20% while using Android

This question is way hard for me lolz. Really, I do not know the answer, just an experience I collected from other posts. I guess draining too deep out of HD2 Android will make the battery reading function work improperly

Thanks guys!
Will check if charging to 100% in WinMo and then booting into Android works and let you know.
I'm using the latest kernel available.

some users have reported that letting the battery drain completely in android corrupts the file system on the sdcard. so best to charge when nearly empty or switch off/boot into WM until you can find a power source.

Something that worked for me!
I had the same issue. Charged till 100% for the first few days. Then it used to top at 97%...95...and finally today at 92%. What I do is I let it charge till the led goes green(In android), and then I switch it off and take the battery out. Leave it for a few minutes. Then put the battery in and boot to android. Voila! 100%!
I guess its something to do with the batterys memory or something. It just needs a resetting from time to time.

I also experience the same. When I boot android with battery fully charged, it shows 100%, but when I charge it while running android, it shows max around 90%, even when fully charged. After reboot it shows 100% again.
I do not think it is the battery, but the linux driver.
Moreover, when I boot android when charger is plugged in, the LED does not lit and android does not report charging. When I unplug and plug in the charger, android shows charging and the LED lit orange/green.

I hope someone figures this mystery out soon, this is driving me crazy. When I first started running Shubcraft 1.4d everything was PERFECT. Battery charged fully with no problems & I got great mileage out of it. Then I installed the 1.5 update & it just stopped charging properly. Now no matter what I do it won't fully charge even though I've reverted back to 1.4d. I've tried charging in WM then booting into android, deleting the batterystats.bin file through terminal, letting it die completely then recharging it, all with no luck. Tonight I think I might try fully charging in WM & doing a clean reinstall of Android.

This does work perfect - it appears calibration of the needs this to happen from time to time... I am pushing for 2 weeks now without taking battery out - so it works fine...
Besides this - battery improvement on my end was gained by installing Auto Killer and uninstalling setCpu and all Task Manager Killers, etc...
Just quick sugg for better battery life... (from 12%/hr stand-by I am now easily geting 5%/hr with light usage)...

Battery life problem

I flashed original rom but my battery behavior is still like on 2.3.5 RC4. Charge to 99% and drains very fast. Did someone know how to get back it original life. I tried battery calibrators from the market and battery wipe from clockwork mod but no result

If your optimus is old it is normal that battery life will get worser and worser ... All you can do is get new battery of ebay like I did and now my battery life is normal ...
Mike

It's not old. Its younger than a year. Battery life was good and on swift it last long and charge to 100% but after last time i flashed 2.3.5 rc4 i calibrate it (to try it last longer like on other roms) and now even on stock it drains like on rc4 and not charged to 100%

Use spare parts to see is there app that drain battery.

install "batterycalibration" from market, charge to 100% and calibrate your battery for this rom

Yes i download two battery calibration programs but the problem is that it's not charging to 100% but to 99% and drains very fast after this. i'll calibrate it a few days hope to fix

yeah, that happens to most people.
unplug, use a few seconds or 1min or so and plugin and wait if its fully charged, it could be that you have to do that a few times (2-3x)

Your not alone on this, same thing with me.
I have ordered another battery from ebay but dont really know why all of a sudden this just began happening whilst using the same Rom which I think has something to do with it.
I use a program from Market called Android Booster to terminate running programs that start up or dont close once started, as sometimes if you use your camera, it will be still running, even if you close it up so hence battery life turns crap.
But also, if somebody phones me for 5 minutes this also nearly drains my battery, and I have everything also turned off. (WLAN, Blutooth, Data, GPS etc).
So dont know why this is suddenly heavy on the battery as it never seemed to do this when first installed.
There you have it, your not alone but think I will migrate to another or buy another phone as I think its pathetic to have to charge one's phone everyday, or twice a day if you chat to somebody for 5 minutes as it defeats the purpose.

Try charging through the wall charger instead of through the USB port on your pc. Worked for me then, recalibrate.

I got my brand new battery and even charged it up via Power Supply from the wall.
Have run the phone only on 2G network only box ticked and everything else turned off (and I mean nearly everything) and for whatever reason, the Battery new or old still does not last long.
Even after it charges to 99% says its charged, it discharges very fast, or if somebody phones you and you only talk for 2 minutes the battery drops to like near 30% which is pathetic.
Something is sucking the life out of the battery folks with these Rom's so can somebody exactly put the food on the table here and say, whats up?

What ROM are you using? It takes some time to charge up the battery and even if it says '99%' that doesn't always mean that it is. What is the capacity of the battery? I'd say charge it for about 6 hours and see then.

Thanks Johnny,
Problem at present seems to be solved now.
Yesterday and before I had been using Mur4ik's CM7 2.0 RC4.
I then uninstalled a stack of apps that I only used every so often and now its like back to normal so I guess it must have been those apps installed.
Folks here is a big tip. Uninstall Apps to test your battery to find out which one is the Energy Hog because even if you are not using them, they seem to be running due to either bad programming of the app or a system management issue related connection between the two.
Now, I have just updated to Mur4ik's CM7 2.0 RC5 and will certainly think twice prior to installing a bunch of things for the sake of installing apps.
Cheers people~!
