[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.

NAND Phone-Off Charge Issue - *WORKAROUND*

I've been having this problem since the first installation of MAGLDR; The "Orange LED" bug, as most of us know, prevents the phone from charging while the phone is off, and the LED remains orange even AFTER the phone is unplugged. I've found a few circumstances where this will occur:
1. Powering down the phone with USB plugged in causes this issue with most builds
2. Same as #1 but when doing a reboot
3. Phone dies, then plugging USB will bring about the "orange LED" bug
I've found a workaround for these as I'm sure MANY of you have already, but I wanted to post a thread just for people who haven't found an answer yet. The following list corresponds to the items above:
1. Unplug USB before selecting "Power off" on your device
2. " " " " "
3. Kinda tricky.. a) if phone is COMPLETELY dead, pull the battery, plug USB, THEN replace battery, and b) If phone has battery and is OFF, power on phone, wait until "GO! GO! GO!" screen disappears, and then plug in USB.
I think the problem comes about when finishing the installation of your ROM via MAGLDR, OR it could be a bug within MAGLDR itself. It could quite possibly be the kernels, as JDMS' UltimateDroid ROM did NOT cause the orange LED when a REBOOT was performed...
Well either way, I hope this helps some people avoid this problem and gives the dev's something to work on.. Not that their work goes unappreciated

Or do like me. Leave the phone on, put it in flightmode and charge it.

How would this help if phone is completely dead? Seriously, this could be useful. Can someone try this and confirm?

I'm afraid to answer here as the OP might get upset, or tell me to start my own new thread.
Anyway. As I like to help people I will answer your question.
I bought a new battery for my HD2, and it did not have enought power to power on the phone (running NAND).
Not sure if this fixed the charging problem, but I removed the battery for +/- 30 seconds, reinserted the "dead" battery, plugged in the charger.
After some time (seconds) the orange battery came on, and the battery was beeing charged.
I left the phone charging for some time (expecting the light to go green when done), but it never did (NANDproblem?)
So after 1/2 day of charging, I disconnected the charger, and guess what.. the oragne light was still on.
Again I removed the battery, reinserted it again, and powerd on the phone.
The battery was fully charged, and I'm now enjoying 2 to 3 days of phone use before needing to charge it again.
Now.. I'm not 100% sure about 1st connecting the charger, and reinsering the battery, or 1st reinsering the battery and than connecting it to the charger.

I'm having charging issues but in a different way.
when i plug the charger to the phone while the screen is off, the LED does not light until I i press the red button (actually any button) to wake up the screen.
Is anybody having a similar issue?

This is not a problem for me too. The real problem is with whatsapp
when ever someone sends me a message on whatsapp while the screen is off, i dont receive it until i press the power button to unlock the screen. So i thought this might have anything to do with the charge issue.

I have no problem with this bug,he it is on the charger,so why turn it off is my question.....i just turn the sound off lol.

[Q] Strange problem

As the title says I have a strange yet very annoying problem. I am running my HD2 with hyperdroid cm7 Nand build (from april 29th). The problem is that when my battery is deleted, as is the case now, and I put my hd2 in the charger it will automatically boot. I think this is due to a setting or something. However since booting drains energy faster than the hd2 charges, the phone will by turned of before it has completely booted. After a while it get's stuck in a pattern of starting to boot and turning of. I don't know why this is the case because I think my phone just used to boot fine before when connected to a charger.
So my questions are:
1. does anyone has a suggestion how to turn on the phone?
2. this automatic booting, can it be turned off?
3. Why is it actually happening?
Maybe it's a very stupid or obvious problem, but I hope someone can help me though.

Do you have installed MGLRD?, it's a Known fact, search in the forum for answer (I'm sorry, I'm with SD Builds and don't use MGLRD, so I can not help you anymore).

I had the same problem with some rom i used earlier. The only way i could solve the issue was to remove the battery and put it back, then I could insert the charger without the phone booting up. Charge it for a while and start it.
Hope this way works for u 2.

I guess this is what I used to do as well. However now, if I remove the battery and put it back in it keeps automatically booting. Also if I put the charger in the phone and then remove the battery same thing happens. But thanks for the help though.

I am currently using the same ROM via MGLRD. Because of MGLRD, it will always turn on the phone from off when you plug your phone in. This is a known feature of MGLRD to preserve the battery. Checking just now, I turned my phone off, plugged in my charger and the phone automatically booted itself then the lockscreen came on then turned itself off after one minute. This is the cycle I see every time I charge my phone if it is off. I do not see it going into any boot cycle. What I see is after it goes through this, the orange LED light is on letting me know it is charging and will change to green when it is fully charged. Did you make sure before loading the ROM to do a complete wipe before installing? Usually most of the problems are associated due to not doing a complete wipe prior to loading a new ROM.

Well, this cycle I think is caused by the fact that the charger is not strong enough. Normally if plugged in the phone would just boot. The reason that it fails to boot is that is doesn't have enough power to complete the boot cycle even though the phone is plugged in (don't know if booting consumes a lot of power?).
A month ago I bought a new usb cable. Maybe that's where the problem lies? Because I have been using the hyperdroid rom for a while now. Although I don't know if one cable can be stronger than the other.
I have found a solution btw: Though it is a bit hit and miss cause it didn't work a few hours ago. When booting I let it go into mgldr and let it charge there. After a while I'll let it boot when it has enough power to complete the boot.

Humm, now you making me think lol, the 1st time I installed Android on my HTC HD2 was the NexusHd2 rom one and he had the same problem, no battery but once I plug it to the wall charger it would do the full(normal)boot, I thought was the rom so I changed to Hyperdroid Cm7, but, still does the same..
The wipe you talking is the one, wipe data/cache right?

if it happens to you a lot, I think it's time to invest in a third-party battery charger. you can charge it out of the phone for a bit, and then you're safe to put it back in a continue charging using the phone

Tried some different roms and all them do the same.. so I reckon its normal.. Thank You.

[Q] CM7 Battery Charging (with phone off)

First, I'd like to thank all devs who spent a lot of time on developing NAND Android for HD Mini!
(I don't know whether it's alright to put my question here)
I've been using sp3dev's release (v2) but I have doubts with the battery bugs...
I get something like this:
When the phone is off, I try to charge the phone with A/C power, the LED light will turn to red. (It's normal until here.)
But when I plug-off the power, the LED light still keep lighting and does not go out! When I try to turn on the phone (by pressing the power button), it has no response. What I can do is to pull the battery out and put it back to turn on the phone...
I asked this in other forums, but some people say they don't have this problem. So anyone know if this is my phone's problem or the ROM's bug?
Any solutions to this?
Thanks.

I have this problem too
I using CM 7.2 - 2.6.35
if you want to charging battery when phone is off goto recovery and select power off and connect dc charger

have the same bug too :S
the only solution for me is to take out the battery and put it back

Hello, same symptoms, although I think the battery is charging! Led indicator and key backlight not working properly, using [schlund] photonic CM 7.2 - 2.6.35.
For me the solution is to wait for 2-3 minutes with a cable in the phone (battery is charging) remove and set back the battery and turn on the phone.

I have this problem too, from first time to flash ROM as android.
I using CM 7.2 - 2.6.35
I think it is cause by boot and recovery.

same issue with my phone....

Hi,i have the same problem.maybe schlund or others could help us..

If it is really just standing for 1 minute, then it's your battery's problem! But if you've just enlarged the problem, you can calibrate your battery by charging it to 100%, then unplugging, let it drain the charge to 0% and turn off automatically. Try to turn it on without plugging till when it can't get turn on anymore. Then without turning it on, just plug it and charge it again to 100% (The LED goes to green). Then you can turn it on again. This may help!
