Yesterday, I let my battery drain completely. Then, when I recharged it and powered back on, all my text messages had disappeared.
#1) why?
#2) anyway to recover them?
Cheers,
joe

Ok, before I get flamed, I've been trying to search to find a solution to this problem. I read somewhere about there being a software glitch when you power off the phone while plugged in.
Well I did that by mistake and now my phone battery indicator totally doesn't work. The phone shows half charged even when full, even within settings. What can I do other than reflash? I tried to delete battery stats in rom manager but I don't think that will work because I have ryan zas lag fix installed. Can someone help me?

yea the phones battery indicator is off. Nothing you could do about it. I use a widget called "Batterylife" by CurveFish.
It works great and pretty accurate.
The solution is to root your phone and replace framework-res http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=758797
WARNING: Rooting your phone will void your warranty. Messing with the phone's filesystem and configuration presents a risk of bricking your phone, proceed with your own risk.
Just to clarify. I've never had this problem before, and its not the same as the battery indicator just being off. I'm not even getting the battery full pop up when plugged in and the settings show the actual percentage never full. I do however get normal battery life out of it regardless of what battery life shows, and I'm not just talking about the icon!
This started after powering off and then on while charging. The big green samsung battery icon popped up prior to the phone restarting and that was the start of this going on. I read about this issue on a prior thread but can't find it for the life of me, either when searching galaxy and vibrant using the search function. I want a mod, just the stock battery function as it was before.
Thanks for any help!

Did you try flashing one of the more accurate battery indicators? Check out the ones in Themes section. They have the battery % and are either stock looking or circular. That might reset the indicator.
you can also recalibrate the battery following the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765656
I'm going to try the calibration method, thanks for the good suggestions

Hey< I'm experiencing the same problem on my TAB.

here same problem too
Hi guys, try giving it a full charge every nite, e.g 11pm to 6pm, regardless of the battery level left on the indicator. I do it continously for full five days and I dun encounter this prob. Furthermore, my charge can hold longer even till 2 days full medium usage.

Hey,
I have just recently noticed a weird problem on my Arc..
When the battery goes below 20% it shuts down (similar to the way how it would shut down when the battery is out).
Then I need to connect the charger and switch it on, after which the battery will show at 1% and in 5 mins it will change to 21-22%...
so basically below 20% the phone thinks its actually ran out of battery even though it hasnt and hence shuts down..
any ideas about what could be causing this? is it a problem with my phone or the battery?
thanks

Have you try to clear the battery stats?
You need to be rooted to do that (I hope everyone knows that )

First thing you need to have "root". If you don't haven't rooted, use GingerBreak to root. Search the forum for the thread.
Second install Battery Monitor Widget from Market. Open the application (This is a widget. So you may want to insert the widget in your home screen), press menu and click "Statistics" option and it will prompt you for confirmation. Once done reboot to make sure it's cleared properly (Not necessary, but recommended).
Hope this resolves your issue.

I had a similar problem with my arc after charging it for the first time (charged it till 100% with the phone turned on). Then, after I used the phone, when it reached 10%, it just shut down. Then I decided to charge it with the phone turned off and this really helped. After two full charging cycles, the battery is acting normal. Now my arc shuts down at 2% which I think is normal.
Clearing battery stats has worked so far...thanks a lot...

Great to know that. Thanks for the feedback.
I am having problem
I am using Generic 2.3.2 version. I am using Extended control to show battery status. The battery suddenly drops to one percent from 30/40 percent and then to zero within 1,2 minutes
Use battery calibration. You have to be root
Or directly delete batterystats.bin (root too)

I am gonna try this one. But it says Calibrate it after you flash new ROM. Mine is still factory ROM.
Now while charging my phone jumped from 1 to 30 in 5 minutes and then straight to 67
waiting for 100 percent charge then I will try Calibration tool
I found the gps switch doesn't work.

Hi,
(I did search on google and xda).
No solutions found so far.
On my nexus S (no 4g); the screen turn off when the battery was about at 20%.
Impossible to get it back on. The backlight is very very very low, I can say almost off. In a absolute dark I can see the screen to make my backups.
What I tried :
- Complete flash rom ( running CM7)
- Hard reset
- Battery change
- Using the device on AC power
My guess is that the phone's dead because even on boot the backlight's off.
So far, on the internet, it seems to be a recurrent problem...
Any solution? BTW : this device is from a exchange on a old warranty. It's about 2 month old and I can't return it back...
Thanks
How about Pull the battery out for a night to let it lost power and memory at all.

Done, but only for 4 hours...
I'll try for a night.
Thanks
Worth a try but it really sounds like the display is broken. Still got warranty? You should also try to flash stock and "oem lock" it before, obviously.
