imate jasjam battery discharging rapidly

hi
i have a imate jas jam the problem is the battery discharges rapidly while making a call or playing music but stays on stand by for a day or two. the battery discharges and charges in incriment 10% that is during charging 10,20, 30 etc and during discharging 90,80,70 etc.
i did a rom upgrade from official site and also changed battery still no luck.
any solution guys
regards

I found the battery always did discharge rapidly when being used. To fix the 10% increments it would be a good idea to flash a cooked rom BUT make sure you have installed Hard SPL 1st...
Might not discharge so quickly (or seem to) when going down in 1% increments...

hi gopalg73 i have the same probem but i asked u about ur upgrading was it wm6 from htc?? and after ur upgrade the tohchFlo did work or not
waiting for ur reply
drasd

i flashed it with original rom from imate support and not cooked one,the battery hardly gives 10 to 20 minutes talktime,
regards

How old is the battery? If you got the original one when the device came to market a few years back it would be on its last legs now.

haha yeah mine is 2 months away from a second birthday and about to be retired!
Battery lasts about 40 minutes just by using 3g connection and streaming AD2P at the same time and getting worse everyday.

[Q] Phone has about 1 minutte of battery life

Hello everyone,
I rooted my phone in early september and put cyanogen 5 on it. I loved the new features but the speed wasn't very good so I switched to biffmod. That's when the problems started to happen. My battery life significantly decreased, I could barely keep it running for 4 hours. When I would open apps like google maps it would turn off instantly, but the phone and text messages worked flawlessly and I loved the speed so I didn't really mind. In the last few weeks it got worse. After a phone call the phone would turn off. I decided to reflash but it stayed the same. Now the phone lasts about 1 minute after unplugging from 100% charge. Anyone knows what could be causing this? or how to fix it?
EDIT : I'm using Biffmod 2.1 with 245 CPU minumum frequency and 556 maximum and DangerSPL.

is this happening on other roms or just biffmod??

Cyanogen 5 was working fine, only hapenned since I switched to Biffmod. (Which is using cyanogen 6)

do a nandroid (plug the phone in for this so it keeps power). then try another rom i say. we can then narrow down whether it is a rom issue or a battery issue. as far as i know no rom should give your battery a lifespan of 1 minute. make sure you have wiped your battery stats too. not sure if this will change anything but you never know.

Looks like a battery wipe fixed the problem. It got past the 1 minute mark! In fact I didn't even know that RA's recovery had that feature. Thanks!

no problem man. i figured it may have been something like that. if the stats dont match then it thinks the battery is low on power when it isnt.

False alarm, it did get better but it shut down after 30min of idle with wifi on.

ok. try a different rom to see if that helps or try draining the battery completely. keep turning your g1 on until it wont turn on any longer. then try charging it from there.
how long have you had the phone by the way?

I got the phone 1 year ago. I'm trying to drain the battery right now. I'll try switching rom after this. Do you have a recomendation? I'm on ebi1 radio.

not sure myself mate. i went for cyanogen, then went to superE as it suited my needs and aint changed since

Charge and battery life problems

Hey there i have a HTC Legend running cyanogenmod 7.0.2.The problem is that i can't charge my phone to 100% it usually charges to 65% and it drains very fast but i noticed that i stays on 3% for +- 8 hours with extensive use.I thought that my battery wasn't good anymore but yesterday i tried putting my battery in my friends htc legend and it showed 83% while it showed 13% on mine so i put the battery to charge on my friends phone till it charged to 100%(that means that the battery's still good)but when i reinserted the battery in my phone it showed 65% just like when i charge the battery in my phone.I thought that i could try calibrating my battery but the phone doesn't charge to 100%.I was running blay0's b0.8.4 rom before this cm7 rom and had the same issue.
Any suggestions how i can fix this.

turn off your phone, plug it all night long then restart in cwm recovery and do "wipe battery stats" ( or something like that in advanced)
restart and see

I have already tried that i have turned the phone off and left it to charge for two and a half days long without disconnecting the charger but the light still didn't turn green.This is really annoying cause the battery drains fast and when its less than 15% the orange light turns on which i don't like to see

I have the same problem with my Legend since I update from stock 2.1 to 2.2.Actualy because of this I root my Legend then i can calibrate it but nothink seams to help.After all night charging the led is still red and when i start it up it shows 75% and go down fast.(1 hour or so can bring it to 5% easily).After when i switch it off and take out battery for few second and put it back it come back to about 55%.actualy the same problem as you have.
I just live with it....i trayed every calibration method and app. and nothink helps.
On another forum one guy told me then it probably need to be recalibrated in factory because i dont have the right tools for it.
I dont think then HTC will do that for me specialy after i root it.
If you find solution please let as know.thanks

Then unroot it, install your carrier's firmware just the way it came with on the phone, and send it back. I would imagine it be hard for them to tell that you've rooted it.
Or just before you do so, check if the battery's still messing around before you send it back.

I have two battery's and the problem is the same with both of them.If is true then they can not understand i will give a tray...i think then this is the first think they will look it at just to tell me f**k you..hahaha

I' ve the same problem with stock legend 2.2. How can we do?help!

So this is what i tried i drained my battery completely till i had 1% of charge then i put it to charge while the phone was still on and it has been on charge for two days and i see that the phone has charged to 76% usually it would charge to 65% so maybe if i leave it for a couple of days on charge i could get a full 100% charge.So that is my last hope unless you guys find something else.
I will post back if it works for me

BTW couldn't it be a kernel problem??

All I know then the problem started when I update from 2.1 to 2.2 stock rom.so my theory is then when you flash new rom the process take some time and energy from battery and when the process is finish the system take current battery state as full which is not true because of used energy from flashing process.So maybe providing DC power with the same voltage as fully charged battery when flashing new rom may fix it.I maybe wrong but in theory it may work.what you think?

I have 2.2 since release date,and the problem is present since one month,after about 6 months 'hotspot mode' for home internet.i think is a battery problem (charge and navigate at same time for 2 hours for day)but this thread show that is a common problem!

i'm having the same kind of trouble for the past 2 months. no matter what i've tried nothing happenned. i'm running custom 2.2 , without rooting or so and charging level stops at 71-75%. drops down relatively quickly until 15% and easily can stay with 3% for over than 5 hours.... htc suggested to run a factory reset,but even this didn't help. if someone finds a solution it would be ...LEGEND...

The phone is actualy charging the battery correctly,i find that out with the multimeter.I measure the battery voltage after all night charge and even then in the phone it shows 75% and voltage 3.950 with multimether i find out then voltage of the battery is 4.220.So thats mean then phone is charging correctly just the indicator(software)doez not interpret it it right.Still is anoying to look at red led after 1-2hours of use.
I have S-ON so maybe even if the calibration app.say after i tray to calibrating then batterystats.bin is deleted it maybe not true becouse of S-ON.
Do you guys with this problem have S-OFF or S-ON?
Maybe is not related to S-OFF or S-ON but who knows...

Maybe if we charge the battery till its full and testing it like pirate81 said with a multimeter and then flash a new rom maybe that could fix it has anyone tried this??

I start to think then XDA developers forum is useless...i post my problem hier to get help from people(xda developers)which I think then they actualy know somethink about android but It seams to me then XDAdevelpers actualy dont care..end i am sorry for that....dissapointed.I see then this forum works on basic.."help your self"...where are you XDAdevelopers...we come to your forum because we need help from you...
I know you doing it for free so i should be happy for what i get but i was waiting a little bit more of interest....sorry i am just dissapointed.

Anyone find a solution?
Would it help if we went back to android 2.1

I allready trayed that..save your time...no changes.

Can't we just use someone elses battery stats file someone who's battery does charge to 100%

I have same problem for 6 months already and yes, it started when I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2 and it's only getting worse. It was 95% maximum, then 75% then 65% and now it's 45%.
Changing battery or firmware (custom or official), wiping stats, factory resets or calibrating batteries does not help.
Now it dawned on me that I still heve 2 weeks of warranty left and I think I'll try official service.

Please let as know when you will get it back...if they change just rom and calibrating or you will get new phone.I am interestig if it is software or hardware issue.thanks

I had a similar problem with my ol prophet.
I let the phone deplete its battery and charge over and over again (4 times as I can remember) and it's solved.
But I don't think it's the same. People were doing something to raise battery life and health, I can't remember. Or a simple factory reset (or a wipe) could solve. Possibilities.

same with my wildfire tried 2 or 3 roms but stil not able to slove my problem it stuck around 70 to 90 % please help me out buddy ..

Try wiping battery stats using ClockWorkMod recovery (I believe AmonRa has this function as well).

thanks guys for replying
i have stock 2.2 froyo.. i guess i have to try factory reset.. but will try that draining and charging thing first ..
any other solutions

factory reset also did not work.. any other solution guys ??

[Q] Defy+ MB526 bettery discharge too fast

Hello!
This week I bought a new Defy+ MB526.
Tried to root it, no success.
After thinking I flashed:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP231_AR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTARAB_P016_A027_M001_Service1FF.sbf
The problem is I have to charge battery twice a day! Yesterday I charged it to 100%, and after 7 hours (WiFi on, BT standby, GPS standby, no calls\sms) battery fall to 50%.
I used to have HTC HD2 with CM9, ICS 4.0.4 and battery could last for 2 days before charge needed..
Does anyone have an idea what causing it and what to do?
Thanks!

Sometimes it happens to me a similar problem. Battery get drained within a few hours without any CPU activity. What I can say is that it seems to happen especially in the move while fast hopping from one cell to another. Battery suddenly reaches +40°C which is a good pointer to expect only a few hours of phone activity. As of now I didn't try to reboot the phone, though.

Questions go in the Q&A section

In my case, battery didn't rise ~32 degrees. The only Time it goes over ~40 degrees is when charging.
Currently I'm starting to be sorry for bought this device..

Reflash the ROM. And calibrate your battery.There's an APP for that in the play store (If I remember it correctly)
PS: You're sorry for buying it. M sorry 'cause mine's been stolen & I miss it..

battery discharging soon
using cm 10 on my defy + mb 526
