False battery status - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This has been happening on the stock rom as well. And also whichever rom I'm using, the battery will not update or show how much it has drained. Sometimes ill even have 8% before the phone shuts off and it wont turn back on. Wtf is going on?
Also the battery while charging will.not update and the yellow light will still be on and the phone will state that it has a current charge of whatever I had when I plugged it in. It wont update unless I restart the phone. What's the matter folks?
Thanks

Back when i had my cliq, this would happen alot. The problem is simple.Simply do the following:
1.Fully Charge phone
2.boot into recovery while plugged in (through ROM manager)
3.Go under advanced then hit wipe battery stats.
4. unplug your phone and let the battery drain completely
5. once the phone is dead, keep trying to boot it for a few minutes(ensuring there is no charge left in the battery)
6. Fully charge it(try no to use it while it is charging)
And once its fully charged, things should be fixed and you SHOULD see better battery life.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

[HOW TO] Calibrate HTC Aria Battery - Taken From Desire Android Development Forum

Found this on Desire Android Development forum ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903 ... MOD Edit: Link created.
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.

From what I have read on there forums the whole procedure should go like this :
So combining the two bits of info we've compiled, the best way to calibrate your battery is as follows
1: Charge phone whilst on till LED is green.
2: Disconnect phone from charger, power it off.
3: Reconnect to charger with phone powered off and allow to charge till LED is green.
4: Disconnect the phone from charger, power it on. Once completely powered on, turn it off again and reconnect to charger until LED is green.
5: Reboot into recovery (back button held at same time as power button) and wipe battery stats.
Battery should now be calibrated.

So I am trying this right now as I type this but the problem I am running into is I charged my phone to full - green led . Problem comes when I power off phone and plug charger back in the phone automaticly boots into Clockwork Recovery ( Thats with the stock charger plugged into a wall socket not computer ) I tried to charge phone that way but led never turns green so I charged it all night that way. Powered phone back on fully , then turned off and charged again in clockwork recovery led never turning green . Cleared batt data in clockwork recovery and powered on . Battery life is unimproved drains fast if not faster than before lol . Hope someone can help . Main problem being how do I get phone to charge with power off and not booting into clockwork recovery when charger plugged in.
Now I have read else where
It seems the old battery icon was part of the original recovery, so there is no fix is on the horizon. Really, no functionality has been lost. The phone is never really off when charging anyway. Better to just leave the phone on and let the screen go off while charging.

HTC Aria - Unrevoked3 Root Method - Attn1's ROM: Liberated_Aria_b005
Hope I made sense I am noob to all this
Ok so here is what I am doing right now - My Calibration Breakdown
1: Did cjperone's !!!!Battery Saver Fix? hit fix permissions in ROM Manager app ( Don't know if this is needed but said what the hell go for the gusto )
2: Rebooted phone per ROM manager app telling me to
3: Charge phone while on till LED is green. Battery was at 4137v ( From what I have read 4137v is opptimal full charge )
4: Disconnect phone from charger, power it off.
5: Reconnect to charger with phone in Clockwork Recovery and allowed to charge for 4 hours . (Since Led Will Not Turn Green )
6: Disconnect the phone from charger, power it on. Once completely powered on, turn it off again and reconnect to charger with phone in Clockwork Recovery and allowed to charge for 4 hours . (Since Led Will Not Turn Green )
7: Since I was already in Clockwork Recovery I wiped battery stats and rebooted phone.
I will use my phone normally today and will see what happens. I will post back results later on tonight.
Well first try not so good with method above I rebooted my phone and within 30 minutes of normal use charge was already at 86% honestly I think froyo 2.2 has a lott too do with the results people are getting. So I installed the newest version for the aria on the forums and gonna try again. I'll keep you updated.

if u did a nandroid from the beginning before u rooted ur phone u can do the original method then flash ur most recent nandroidd back up
Hi mate, glad to run across your post I was wondering what was up too. I have the same setup, but so far mine charges in a normal off status but still doesn't hit green. If I turn it on it is at 100% but not for long. It's definitely draining quicker than the 2.1 setup I had before. Not sure what to do exactly.

[Q] Battery changes to 68%, may have a solution but need advice

Hi guys,
So I recently flashed to the latest ChuckDroidRom and have had no problem so far except that my battery never charges past 68%.
I believe this is because that was the battery level when I flashed the rom...and I'm not sure how to fix this.
If I turn the phone completely off, charge until the phone is 100%(green light), and boot into the spl screen and then flash the rom again will it reset my battery indicator to 100%?
Just an idea, if anyone knows what to do please let me know thanks!
If you are using the clockwork recovery image, just choose "wipe battery stats" option there to reset your battery stats OR you can delete the batterystats.bin in data/system if you are rooted. try to search this forum using "batterystats.bin" as keyword. Hope this helps!
turn your phone off, charg it till the led turn from amber to green, then boot android. now it should charge till 100%.
Try to charge it to 100% when it's off. Then boot to WinMo and use your phone till it dies (reaches 0%). Now charge it again when it's shut down.
Boot to WinMo and then to Android. That should reset your battery information. At least it worked for me.
Cheers

When I Charge my battery it is stop at 91%, so what is the problem

I have HD2 with
1- windows mobile 6.5
2- ROM Prestige X
3- Radio 2.15.50.14
4- Android ROM Moto234_Incredible_Remix_V2.0
When I want to charge my device it is stop at 91% even in the charge plugin more 5 hours, so any body faced this, and what do you think the problem.
The same Scenario was happening to my hd2, it stopped at 91%, even i let it charge for long hours, it does not pass 91%. This is what i did, I let the phone charged on the Winmo side, till it gets full charge 100%, then i return to the Android side while it still 100%, used the phone and when the batterry need to be charge, i let it stayed on the android side and charge it there. Since then about 2 weeks now, it will charge now all the way to 100% on the Android side. I only return to the Winmo side 1 time to let it charge 100%, and never return again since then. This is just my experience, let me know if it works for you. hopefully it will.
I've also noticed that if you let your battery drain down yo almost empty it will charge to 100% consistently. If you always keep it on a charger and never gets very low, you will start to see its Max % get lower. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this. Just my .02

Boot into WinMo, charge phone until 100%. Turn phone off and let charge for another 15 minutes. Boot back into Android. Open terminal emulator and enter:
su
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
Unplug charger, and use phone until it powers itself down because of empty battery.
Your battery is now recalibrated. This has also been discussed quite often already.
well... here's an easy method;
plug your phone in with the charger
charge your phone until it wont go anymore (in your case 91%)
open up the back, and pull the battery when the phone is on
put the battery back in and reboot into android (while still plugged in with the charger)
Once it's booted up to android unplug the charger and replug it back in.
it will go to 100% from now on.

weird i've done this with the same SD card for pretty much every single build i've tried, and have not had any issues with the SDcard being corrupt.
with every new build however i wipe the SDCARD and reformat it...
that may be why... who knows?
% doesnt matter ... its cuz u dont have it configured to ur battery and most likely use an other one too ... but if u keep swapping it will never configure ..
as i said the % doesnt matter , as long as its 4.195v+ its full !

Battery Qustion???*

i just got the phone nad first charge i charged it whe ni got it and now its dead im charging it battery is very weak compared to nexus one i had.... but is it true that if u discharge it completley and then charge it completey and repeat 3-4 times battery gets good? i also heard over a little time that battery gets way better? any one can relate to this?
Sounds like you could benefit from re-calibrating your battery. It can be done manually through recovery by resetting battery stats, or easily through an app like this one (you must be rooted).
how u do it without rooted and i heard discharging 3 times and fully charging works? any update on that
There's lots of different "methods" floating around about how to calibrate your battery, many of which actually don't make much sense. The ones that do make sense to me involve deleting the batterystats.bin file. That app TeeJay3800 linked to pretty much does just that. For rooted devices, all the ClockworkMod recoveries have an option to delete battery stats in the Advanced menu.
I think this file is located somewhere in /data but I don't know off the top of my head. I also don't know if root is required to delete this file. Maybe try finding it with Terminal Emulator and attempt to delete it. If that doesnt work, then you'll probably have to root the device (or maybe just temproot it).
yea i did it yesturday nad today its still bad about to attept 3rd charge and im waiting till it dies it went from 39% to 19% within an hour wtf is this??? im waitign till ti dies then recharge to fully
i also did this wthich is good but will it mess anything up if the phone is brand new and is charging fine
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.

This is "bump charging" and all it does is try to fill up your battery as much as possible. It's like topping off at the gas station. It won't do much as far as battery calibration. You may see a minor improvement in battery life after a bump charge, but you'll have to do it each time you charge.
Keep in mind that battery life is dependent on many factors, including your usage pattern. Improving battery life is a matter of being mindful and selective about what connections you leave open (bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, account sync) and what apps you let run. Screen usage plays a role as well. Network signal strength also plays a part, but that's not something you can control. Don't use taskillers, they cause more problems than they solve.
I'm assuming you're still on the stock ROM. If that's the case, you should be aware that there's lots of extra stuff on there that runs in the background to support the HTC Sense overlay. The biggest improvement in battery for me was (a) flashing a custom ROM without all that junk on it and (b) flashing a custom kernel which both underclocks the CPU and uses lower voltage settings.
If after all these considerations you still think your battery is borked, head over to a T-Mobile store. They may give just you a new one, otherwise it'll probably cost you not very much.

[Q] i9500 S4 CHARGİNG ONLY RECOVERY MODE -SOLVED-

Hi mate ,
What rom are you using , what kernel and what bootloader do you have?
There are some incompatibilities between the old bootloader and the new kernels like with the old bootloader if you try to charge your phone while is off the phone will switch back on by itself but it will charge
What happens if you try to charge when the phone is booted?

Draining your phone to 0%, wiping battery stats and deleting batterystats.bin are completely useless things to do. It does nothing. In fact draining your battery untill 0% might actually damage your battery.
Your battery will calibrate itself, nothing you need to do.
Try what it does with the original charger.
I solved the problem
I flashed again same rom without last updated expect
problem=last updated package
