hi,please move if in wrong place, im running rcmix hd rom and wanted to calibrate my battery.
it says to charge fully while phone is on until green led which i have done,
it then says to power off phone and charge until green led but this is the bit where im stuck.
because i have clockworkmod, when i power off phone and charge, the recovery menu comes up???
i have been charging while supposedly off for last 3 hours, my led is orange but is my phone off??
i shouldnt have thought it would take that long to charge a powered off phone cos i charged it fully while it was on??
so if anyone can explain what i need to do that would be good, or if anyone knows of another way to calibrate my battery without having to charge it while off that would be handy too, thanks
Try the new modded recovery with full shutdown, no more auto clockwork start

Yea sure, here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1027835
I'd pick the 3.0.2.4_r1. It flashes like a rom in cwm, then just reboot recovery. But now to access recovery from turn off you have to boot into fastboo first, vol down+power
Thanks for the link ;-)
Ok so I just flash it like a rom and reboot, and that gives me the ability to charge while completely off??
And if I need recovery then I just go into fastboot mode?
Thanks mate

Pretty much, you can try it out easy. Flash, then go to advanced>reboot recovery and make sure it says 3.0.2.4_r1 then press power off and plug in your charger

not that it matters as you are sorted, but phone does charge in CWR but you need to use a second party program i.e QtADB to monitor charging and delete battery stats only when it's at 100% charged.

what about the method whereby u use currentwidget to monitor the charge.
when it is at 0ma then reboot into cwm and wipe battery stats?
does that work too?

The idea of charging it whilst off is to ensure it is at 100% when the battery stats are wiped, with some phones they erroneously report fully charged when they arent, hence charge to 100% turn off charge to 100%, reboot and charge (to replenish charge used in rebooting) then wipe battery stats. People are worried that older CWRs would boot when phone was turned off making it hard to ascertain that 100% charge was attained.
so what is the correct method of resetting the battery stats?

100% battery 0ma on current widget.

once booted up it shows 99% but charge again and its at 100%.

It will work, but if you want the optimum results you must charge the phone back to 100% after rebooting before you delete the battery stats.

Battery life is really relative, you can't control everything you do on a daily basis on your phone. You can't control the number of email, text message you received, etc. or the signal reception.
So, perhaps the battery now die faster because you change the way you used your phone? It's a possibility.
It's you.
I say that because you don't follow instructions.
Step 1 is to CHARGE FULLY FIRST. Where did you see that it says let it die and wipe?
Reading is fundamental.

I use my phone the same and on bionix 1.8 thread someone posting two ways to do it one was chargefully and wipe and they other was let die then wipe..
Should I charge fully then wipe now to see if that will fix?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Bionix says to charge fully then wipe..
I doubt it's possible that reconditioning would worsen your battery life. It could be a bad app or a setting that needs to be changed. For example, the Facebook app is defaulted to refresh itself every hour.
Aside from reconditioning (which really is just to kind of calibrate your battery status with the rom) it's best to check your running apps. If you leave GPS on, some apps run it in the background etc etc.
I think people spend too much time tracking their battery life that they ultimately cause it to worsen. No need to wake the screen every 5 mins to track battery etc. I get EXCELLENT standby time using bionix mainly bc I don't take out my phone unless I need it to use, vs tracking battery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yeah that's the thing when I first flashed bionix1.7 my battery would last forever buy now even on standby without checking my phone it will die.. It didn't do that before the failed attempt at battery recondition which I should not have done in the first place hopefully it will get better

There's no guarantee that your battery will be fixed once you do it correctly. You could just have a defective battery. My first Vibrant was defective that could not get any reception and on top of that my battery would drain real fast.

Er, if you wipe the stats, won't it "forget" the draining and charging you did first, making them pointless?

Simple answer, no! You will wipe all battery stats previously stored. Starting with a fresh charge and no batt data the fone will have to re-learn the battery data and this should give you a more accurate representation ( cuz thats all it really is ) of battery state from that point on. Hope this helps.

No, his point is that you have extraneous steps. Wiping stats AFTER a charge--drain--recharge is pointless. All you have to do is charge to full with the phone off, wipe stats, reboot.

Yeah, in theory you can reduce the life of the battery. But batteries are cheap, and I doubt I'll ever have this phone long enough to see my batteries go bad.
Ima just leave my phone alone the roms are good enough

Exactly. Why charge it, drain it, then delete? The stars start over. The draining and charging are forgotten.
Sure, you wasn't to start fully charged, but draining it first seems pointless.

"Battery recalibration
If you're experiencing higher than normal battery drain, try the following:
Charge the phone to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Battery Level = Full.)
Boot to recovery mode and go to console (or adb shell) and type:
mount -a
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
NOTE: Newer Amon_Ra and ClockworkMod recoveries have an option to delete the battery stats, do this in place of the console commands above.
NOTE: To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the phone immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for CM to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the phone, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.
Do not charge the phone until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.
Recharge the phone completely and then use as you normally would."

I've wondered this -- what does the conditioning actually "fix"? (I understand it doesn't affect the way the battery physically charges & drains.) Is the problem (pre-reconditioning) that the phone is thinking/saying it's fully charged when it's not, and so you're not starting off with the 100% charge you thought you were? Or is the problem that the phone thinks (and represents) that the battery is discharging faster than it really is, as you use it? Or something else?
Also, I've read others on here talk of allowing the battery to completely discharge, and then charging to 100%, ~1x per month -- without any talk of "wiping stats." Is that supposed to be something different altogether? Thx
any ideas how i can fix this.... my battery will not charge to 100%. i have tried doin g a battery wipe.. i downloaded the battery calibrator app, and tried to wipe it, and see if it charges... and it will not go past 99%... is there something that i must do to get it to 100%... im trying to get a 100% readout, so i can do a flawless battery calibration via the app, but 99% is sort of lacking haha
My battery max charge changes depending on the theme I have installed. Sometimes I can get to 100%, and others only 97%. I find I get the same battery life in any event.
What theme are you using?

just the gingerblur 4.5-----on the slide to unlock screen it says 99% and says its changing,,,, on the battery calibrator app it says 99% and it says 4187mV isnt 100% 4200mV?
Try unplugging it and letting it discharge a few percentage points and then plug it back in to charge. Sometimes it takes strangely long to go from 99-100 for me though.

You could try calibrating it.
Charge the phone until it no longer charges. Leaving it plugged in, shut the phone off, then pull the battery. Wait for it to boot up and display a ? and battery symbol. Then place the battery back in. It should read 5%. Leave it for a few seconds, then boot the phone. Should now read 100%.
definitely trying that later today, thanks.

This, but I would add, that when you reboot, go to recovery first and wipe battery stats.
Mine has the same problem. Never charges past 60%. Calibrating, wiping battery stats several times does not fix it. I plan to buy a new battery to see if that solves it but I am not optimistic. Search for the thread named "atrix not charging past 88%", no fix for me yet and several others.

Juggernauts fix helps the battery jumping issue, but not the battery not charging to 100%, at least not for me. The problem started after flashing official 4.5.91 and it has continued after I flashed to CM7. I am now used to removing the battery and putting it back in place while charging for it to read 100%, but it is annoying no one has found a cause or solution.

I am not an expert but i think you can do this....
1. Clear your batter stat
2. Drain your phones battery completely
3. Recharge your phone to 100% while it is switched off. (this might take 2 hours i think)
4. Once it is completely recharged....then use any battery calibration application and calibrate it while it is 100% charged.
I hope this works, else you will need to find some battery fix for this problem
Thanks.
Maybe u hav a defective battery mate. Try another battery, see if u still got 80%.

thanks for reply dude but my battery is ok i needed to calibrate it .
I need some suggestions on how to calibrate the battery on my n4. It got miscalibrated when I did the update 4.2 to 4.3 and I haven't been able to calibrate it since then, a week ago.
I tried using battery calibration from the store but it didn't work, I tried charging the phone from 0 to 100 and it didn't work.
I remember I had the same problem 2 years ago with my Atrix and I solved it by wiping the battery stats from recovery, but now twrp and Cwm removed this feature and I don't know how to solve my problem.
Maybe it would help flashing all back to stock with the toolkit?
If you have any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.

Just the answer I didn't expected, and frankly a pretty useless answer, everybody knows that battery calibration doesn't improve battery life.
But I have other problems, like I turn off my device at 80% and when I turn it on it's at 77%. Do you think that's normal?

Either faulty battery or do the following:

2.Charge fully(+2 hours after hitting 100&) WITHOUT disconnecting from the charger.

I've had many phones, and none of them lost charge during the boot, at least not that many. I think that's the clear sign of battery miscalibration, I've had this problem before with another phone. Besides that, I've had a strange behaviour of the battery, for example I saw it lose 4% in 1 second, from 66 to 62 in a blink of an eye.

It's not that it's losing charge quickly, it's just the OS (or the hardware itself) doesn't always do the best job of reading it. There's not much you can do about that, and it's really not an issue unless you make it so by staring at your battery level all day.

I live in India and the phone is from Canada, so replacing the phone will take some time but I can get the battery replaced for around $20
Also my nexus is also showing +ve mA values while it's not charging, and the values are absolutely crazy, +268, +168, +1171 (in batter monitor widget)
Please tell me what I should do.

Before you replace the battery try to disconnect the battery's flex cable and reconnect it [after you charge to device to 100% and turn it off of course] check if its 'reset' the battery.
