My Wildfiire battery doesnt last nearly as long as it did when I first got it.
I have had it with many custom ROM's and 2 RUU's to see if it could be the a software issue but they all do the same.
I have gotten a new battery but does the same.
The only thing is when I install and do all the wipes the battery cache doesnt seem to say its completed and its done that on all the rom's and ruu's.
I am using Rom manager with the lastest clockworkmod.
3G and wifi is always on and has always been that way auto sync is of.
Any ideas ppl?
Would love some help.
cheers
Wow nobody had this problem?
Not me certainly. Battery life actually seems better to me than when I got it, thanks to the CPU Clock setting apps and Custom ROMs.
i've had some problems as well, it stays at 100% for a LONG time and then drops drastically if I'm using mobile data. Try draining fully, boot into recovery and clear battery stats, and then charging full. then don't charge again until dead, after which charge it till its full again. might help.

If I drain it fully I wouldnt be able to boot to recovery , I give it a go.

Actually, when the phone turns off on its own, it still has some juice left, should be more than enough to boot into recovery and clear stats.

Done what you said am charging now but charging can take up to 24hours and more its been getting worse and worse....
Since few days ago, im using PCFighters rom. And, I have problem with charging, my battery wont charge above 50-60%. I tried deleting battery stats from recovery; i tried bump charging (although i cant charge phone while its turned off - CM7 "feature" ), i tried some method form XDA (charge phone, delete battery stats, reboot phone, remove battery from phone while rebooting, and phone still on cord etc) - but nothing works...
Battery itself lasts like usuall, 24-30hours, but this is really annoying... and, here is pic of battery usage, you can see how it oscilates on far left side, while charging, 50-60%, and thats it...
Any solution?

There are 2 possible solutions:
1. Re Flash the ROM, let it reach all load until phone turn off, charge to 100%, then Calibrate Batt, then reach the load to 0% again, then charge the batt. If the charge stay on 60%, unplug and plug your charger continuously from the outlet energy.
2. Replace your battery with a new one.
this problem have a simple solution you must download "battery calibration" or "battery calibrator" and when the phone is charged (60%) you must click the button .. if this doesn't work you can enter in recovery---> advanced---> wipe battery states

Done this already, not working (both ways)... ill reflash ROM today, and we will see does it works
Edit:
Not working... flashed ROM again, cleared dalvik/cache etc, left battery to drain out - but it wont charge over ~50% :/

Thats How I Do It
I need to flash the latest recovery.img CWM v5.0.2.7 first and then wipe battery stats.
With Battery Callibration app see how high is battery voltage, when is at 60%, then share here with us.
OK, ill check it tommorow morning and type it here... thx, imenjak
("imenjak" - ppl with same name, in our language)
After 10 hours of charging, baterry is at 52% or 3729mV... i tryed unplug/plug in for a few times, but now it wont go over 52%.
Finally the following steps helped me:
- I flashed the latest CWM recovery.img v5.0.2.7
- Boot into Recovery and did:
- "wipe cache partition"
- Inside "Advanced" both did "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and "Wipe Battery Stats"
- Power Off
- removed batterie and waited at least 5 minutes
- inserted batterie and used GT540 until it's fully empty
- charged GT540 again
- Voila: "charged 100%"

If nothing helps, try to backup your current ROM, install a different one (for example Froyo or stock Eclair) and if the same thing happens (also after calibration) then you will know for sure that the problem is hardware nature and your battery is dying. But if on different ROM you have normal battery charging then its a very weird bug.
Good luck, imenjak!

When i must wipe my Battery Stats?
Always when you Flash a new Rom or Reflash the rom you must have to wipe your Battery Stats to have the best Battery life from your Device.
How to wipe Battery Stats?
1. charging the battery FULLY
2. boot device to CWM Recovery
3. advanced/Wipe Battery Stats
4. reboot device
5. don't charge the device until the battery still turns off your device because it empty (do not drain with heavy apps like video streaming ect.)
6. now again FULLY charge without interruption
7. Have fun ^^
Hit the Thanks Button if it help!
Thanks
I have woundered why it didn't work on my phone and that was becuse i charged it while i wiped it and i didn't let it drain all the battery
well...you can also wipe that in the xRecovery if you have it
the reason of wiping it is because the battery status will not be accurate.
also, if you found your battery is draining, try to wipe it, then check the running services if there are too much apps running in the background~

wipe it when battery has 100% and after you flashed new rom
The better and easiest way is with battery calibration.apk
Download this: http://db.tt/Ohb9vGgP
And follow the instructions
actually, it usually takes a longer time for the battery to get from 99% to 100%
the reason is... idk...
but even thought it is 99%, it takes a shorter time to consume the battery than it is charged to 100%
thats my experience
If you read the phone manual, it says that happens because it is expanding battery life... (??)

5. don't charge the device until the battery still turns off your device because it empty (do not drain with heavy apps like video streaming ect.)
what does that mean So after fully charge > wipe battery stat > reboot... what do I do now? I'm confused here

after you wipe the battery stats and reboot your device you have to wait untill your device battery is empty and the phone turned off by herself. 0% battery . After device turned off by herself, charge your device again to 100% without any interruption like reboot or unplug power plug.
Understand? Please excuse my english is not as well.

That's what I don't understand. After I Wipe Battery Stat and reboot the device. I'm waiting, and She's not turned off by herself but I skip Step 5. and everything works. still 73% after 2 hours ...
@azyar
1. Charge the phone (100%)
2. Wipe battery stats
3. Reboot the phone
4. Now use the phone until the battery has gone from 100% to 0% (when the battery reaches 0%, it will turn off by itself)
5. Now charge the phone 100% again without interruptions (don't even touch it)
When battery level has reached 100% (not 99%), you may use your phone again.
Hello, i'm currently with quarx CM10 last build (2 nov). First time i installed it i noticed it help A LOT with battery consumption.. from 12 midnight till 10 am from the other day it went from 99 to 97... that is.. like a miracle. then i did something stupid.. i used "battery calibrator" and it ruined it. Today it wen from 12 to 10 am in the morning with 99 to 60 then 49 (typical battery jump)...
I repeat, it's in the night, were wifi is off, refresh is off and nothing (that's what i'm planning to discover) is running or updating.
I attach some screens.
1) first install of the new rom. you can see it sleeps like a baby.... plain.
2).. goes down.. and down... even though i'm not using it.
any comments, help or suggestions? thanks in advanced!

Make your phone recalibrate the battery. Follow the following steps:
1 Use the phone till you have 10% or less battery left.
2 Wipe battery stats from 2ndinit recovery.
3 Boot into CM10.
4 Charge your battery to 100%.
Doing this will make the phone generate a new battery stats file and should solve your problems.

i'll try that. but already done it when installed the last build for the second time. i do wipe cache / dalvik / batt stats then flash ROM and all over again with the wipes.

If you've uninstalled your battery calibrator app or if you've not used it after the wipe, then you shouldn't have any abnormal battery drain...
If wiping battery stats doesn't work, then most people recommend reflashing the ROM, but you've already done that, so you shouldn't have the battery drain now.
Just put your phone to sleep for a few hours, and let's see what happens after doing that.
This is what i did after seeing the sudden drop the other night:
- let it drain normal till the day finishes (at midnight, that's when i did the following)
- charged the battery to 100% and turn off phone.
- pull battery., connect charger to wall and recovery.
- install ROM without battery on. Wipe cache, dalvik, stats batt, install rom, wipe cache, dalvik and statts (again)
- boot into cm10, turn off screen and went to sleep.
- THIS morning, i saw it drained me up to 60 all night.
...
so as you can see.. i've already seen that after reflashing nothing has happened.
no, i didn't use again the calibrator.

I'm not 100% sure, but as far as I remember, the battery stats gets generated while CHARGING a drained battery.
That's why you should drain the battery, wipe stats and THEN charge it to 100%. As it charges, the battery sensor detects levels (15, 30, 60 and such I think) and generates the battery stats based on these readings.
Afterwards, based on these stats, it generates a reading of battery drain, as the battery sensor itself senses only certain levels.
So, drain, wipe and THEN charge. Do this and let me know if the problem still persists.

hmmm! never tried that!.. i was just charging it and it's in 90.. so i'll let it drain and tell you later thanks for that suggestion.

Just read and engrave to your memory folks! Battery calibration never ever had a positive effect on the battery life and the battery usage shown in the android in-built "Battery Use"-app... and by the way, the stats are reset every time you unplug your nearly fully charged phone from the cable.
Hey, rather than blaming your battery stats I'd search for a process running all the time. Looks like something is keeping the phone awake.
The battery calibration IS A MYTH, as explained here, so don't waste your time wiping the values in Recovery. If you don't find any hyper-active processes with the following procedure, the drops might be related to a worn battery (I don't know how old your phone/battery is).
Open a terminal console and type:
$ top -n 1|head
(if you don't have Hacker's Keyboard installed and selected as Input Method you might need to copy and paste the line above, off course without the dollar sign).
Look at the processes listed as output and paste them here.

Hola slim , thanks for answering. here's the screen
You had it coming since you are using Swipe... It's chewing up your CPU, and consequently your battery. Search the site. Off the top of my head I think it was a common issue.

Swype? really?? shoot.. i love it.. even though i don't use it that much. Searched a bit but couldn't find much. Gonna try freezing it and see what happens. thanks.
Finally i managed with your help to accomplish some good sleep! here's the screen. i think it's awesome, never ever seen this.
thank you!!
we'll see if it gets better.
There's an interesting lesson to be learned here: if no deep sleep can be achieved, don't blame the ROM, and look for a stubborn process which refuses to stop when the kernel tell is to.
Hi,
I've recently replaced my battery and now it is not charging fully to 100% but only to 85%. Sometimes it displays it is fully charged but after a minute the percentage dropped to 85%. I've already tried multiple chargers with no result. The only thing that works is bump charging. It looks like the battery is just working fine but the displayed percentage is not right. Is there a way to 'reset' this statistic? Removing the battery.bin didn't do anything for me.
Is there a way to check if the battery is really fully charged despite the wrong displayed percentage?

To fix what you are doing you have to be rooted.
1. Root your n4
2. Download root browser from playstore
3. Go to data/system directory and delete batterystats.bin
4. Accept superuser access
5. Reboot and let the battery drain till 0%
Anyway, I don't know if it will be a battery calibration issue, because if u had to replace your previous battery maybe your phone doesn't manage battery well and destroy them... Try, report, and we will make conclusions

I just deleted it, it's worth a try!
The weird thing is bump charging will result in a 100% charge and the battery seems to work normally (20hours of battery time with normal use).

It will be a battery calibration issue since that file only stores the statistics of apps. It gets deleted upon reboot. So this won't affect the measurements in any way.

Connect the charger to the Nexus 4, then insert the plug.
Press the power button and hold it until the device turns on. Immediately after this, press and hold the Volume Down key, not releasing the power button. Appears on the screen Start, circled arrow.
Pressing the Volume Down key, select Power off and activate it by pressing the power button.
When the phone is turned off, unplug the charger and plug it in again. then turn on the phone.
Both solutions didn't work for me. Is there a way to confirm that even if Android displays a value of 85% the battery is fully charged? Because I don't care that much wrong percentage is displayed, I just wanna know for sure the battery is ok.
