new to the atrix.
I installed the latest oat update, and the phone was @ 70% after charging all night. I also noticed it discharge updates only by 10% increments.
I installed the homepage Rom, and it charged overnight to 93%.
I've applied the battery fix, but that only seems to stabilize the display (I noticed it fluctuating before the fix)
is there a fix? I've done calibrations on phones, but I needed to get 100% and the charge while off. Not sure how I can calibrate if I can't get a full charge while on.
Use recovery to wipe battery stats. If it still fails to display 100% when charged shut the phone off. Take the battery out, then plug the phone in. Wait until the "?" on the battery shows up. Then put the battery in while it is still plugged in. Leave it like that for about 30 mins. When you click the volume button the battery will show only 5-10%, but turn the phone on and it should read 100%.

I'll try that. I already wiped battery a couple times in cwn
OK, then the 2nd part should do the trick. It works for me anyways. Once you do see 100%, wipe batt stats again and let the battery die, then charge while the phone is off. Should fix you up.

You might have to wipe battery stats several times. I had an out of the ordinary calibration problem between flashing roms and had to wipe everything several times before it started working properly. Also note, that charging up to 95%-99%, and unplugging and plugging back in and slowly charging past 95% is common and not a problem. The software is estimating battery charge. And if you do charge past 95% and unplug its ok if it quickly goes back down to 95% and then tapers slowly.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
You have to wait for battery to go beyond 95%.
It takes time but it goes their.
My personal experience.
Just drain the battery til it dies. Then plug it in over night while you sleep. Once you wake up wipe battery stats and everything should be good.

I think he has tried both of these methods. I know I did. What I told him to do was the only thing that worked for me.
OK J, it looks like that fixed it.
Although battery showed 4169, and I saw others with 4200
Thanks issued!
try discharging until the phone shuts off and charging it again without turning it off.

Hmm...battery should show 4203 when fully charged. Mine has actually displayed 4205 a couple of times.

I'm going to try it again. I tried a different rom, and it only went to 92%. I redid the battery pull and Saw 4185.

Hey I've been noticing a weird problem with my nexus one. I usually charge it over night so by the morning it's at 100%. I rarely let my phone die completely as I'm in and out of the house all the time. so i charge it when im home. however i noticed that when it does die completely, my battery level will say 30% 40% charged and then it'll suddenly die while im using it. i downloaded a battery widgit as well to make sure it wasnt just the system's battery charge indicator. the widget will also say the batter is charged 30% 40% and then the phone will suddenly die. When i plug the phone in and turn it on, then the battery level will say 1%. this has happened to me on both the stock nexus one and now im using the modaco sense rom, and same thing. any insight on my mystery?

After wiping battery stats, charge the phone completely while it is off until the light turns green (this will take a few hours). This may solve the problem. I had battery issues too, but after doing this, it fixed it. Good Luck
so i tried both suggestions; wiped the battery stats in the recovery. and charged phone to full. tried it out for 3 days. and no results. my battery level indicator is still inaccurate. any suggestions?
Has anyone else used the batterycalibration app from the market?
I found that after using it my battery life is worse! I used Juice Defender before and after using this app, keeping the settings exactly the same, and noticed the following changes after ensuring 100% charge at night, the battery state in the morning was/is:
Before using batterycalibration - 99-100%
After using batterycalibration - 93-95%
Nothing else has changed as far as running apps is concerned so I can't understand why I now have this drop in battery. I've also noticed that the battery drains a lot quicker after using this app (only used it once). Juice Defender used to do a very good job of managing my battery but after using the batterycalibration app I'm not seeing any benefit, in fact totally the opposite.
Have you tested batterylife by timing it yourself? Batterycalibration obviously calibrates your battery. It corrects the displayed %. This means that before, when it said 99%, it could have been 93% as well, but just said it was 99%.

Yes, I check it with systeminfo so I know it's a better indication than just the battery icon.

The app sucks. I calibrated with the app and then calibrated the proper way and the proper way took an extra 30 min to completely charge.
Never use the app. Just charge till green. Unplug and turn off the charge till green while off. Then once green unplug the phone and turn the phone back on let it boot up completely then turn off again and charge till green or ten minutes whichever is longer then unplug and turn on and go into cwm and clear bat stats. Restart phone and enjoy

I was going to do this (bump the battery) but seen quite a lot of posts here, and other forums, where people have seen worse battery life and, in a few cases, their battery dies and becomes totally unusable. Might give it a go though, once I get a spare battery.
Hi Guys,
Speaking of battery calibration I am about to go travelling for several months with my desire and have 4 batteries to take with me. Is there anything imparticular I should consider when charging/swapping between these batts in terms of calibration. I also have an external battery charger I was going to use to charge them the majority of the time.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

I always use this app and it works great. It just erases the batterystats.bin file.
FYI, HTC actually used to recommend the above mentioned technique but have now warned against it as they say it is terrible for your battery's health.
Works wonders for me, use it on 3 devices, and have had no problems.

Hi, i search in the forum but i think this is not happening to all. My problem is that i noticed after updated the 4.1.1 via OTA, when my nexus reaches 25% of baterry approximately dies. I tryed doing a battery calibration with the "battery calibration" app, but it still happening to me. Has anyone the same issue? o tellme what to do?
Thanks and sorry for my english
Have you tried fully charging it, Deleting the Battery.bin let it FULLY discharge until it dies, then recharge to full again and you should be sorted.
Hope this helps.

2-Fully discharge
3-Full recharge

Don't waste your time with that. The advice to delete batterystats.bin is based upon gross misinformation. That file has zip, zilch, nada to do with reported battery level. It is only a list of the apps that have operated on battery and is wiped by the OS whenever you unplug after a full charge. It's actually surprising to see that some people still believe this actually does anything because it was clearly and concisely debunked by a member of Google's Android team almost a year ago.
If your device is consistently dying at 25%, a factory reset should be the fix. Be advised that this will wipe your data, however.

mine suddenly started dying at 50%! over and over, every time it hit 50% for several days.
but I fixed this eventually by letting it charge whilst powered off for about 30mins, then I had to go out and unplugged the nexus rather than leave it charging all day. Then when I got in that evening I powered it up and noticed it was at 20% battery! so I ran it completely flat or as low as it let me before warning me. I then plugged it in again and left it to charge all evening whilst still completely off, to 100%. Since then, over a week It has been fine.

Hi, I had this problem and think I have solved it. I charged it up and when it says 100% leave it on for an extra half hr or so on charge to make sure it is full because even though it may say 100% it doesn't mean it is full. Don't seem to have problem now, fingers crossed
Hi, today I went to office, I can see the battery reading is 84% after one hour of use in the transportation. When I plug the phone to the charger it shows 100% immediately (Charge so quickly isn't it ? :laugh. It remains 100% even I reboot the phone. Did anyone meet this bug?
Have never encounterd such a thing. Are you rooted?
Sv: Incorrect reading for battery after updated to 4.2.2
Never seem it but try a factory reset. I always do one after a system update.

It's likely nothing is wrong. After every ROM flash, the battery calibration always messes up a bit. Just use the phone normally and the calibration will fix itself after a couple charge cycles. If you want to fix it sooner, run the battery down and charge it again.

That will happen with any/all N4's at some point. More commonly the battery will lie to you, forget to update battery level during deep sleep, etc... Your phone isn't "broken".
Mines just did that today.. Was at around 38, plugged it to the laptop to transfer stuff, took it off showed 100.. reboot fixed it but now I have to recalibrate

i tried it on my old phone and it worked. So far my N4 is still fairly calibrated.
batterystats.bin has absolutely nothing to do with the battery level your phone is showing you. Its a per charge battery history file, i.e. what you see if you go to Settings>Battery.

As far as am aware it doesn't really work? So your saying changing recovery for you helped with your battery, coz like i take it off charge and its 100% then it jumps down to 97% after a few minutes and am not even doing anything.. and i just got this phone this week. Am tempted to send it back, i don't know what to do?

That is because you left the phone plugged in for so long that it hits 100%, then it starts discharging to prevent overcharge.. so it drops to 95%, then charges again. You took it off at 97% (yes, it might still have shown 100% for a little while so you don't go and plug it in again).

So how do i charge it so it doesn't drop, i am getting severe battery drain, i take it off at 100% after checking instagram, twitter and chrome for 10 mins its dropped to 70%.. matr1x kernel with CM10.1..? thanks!
Does anyone else have a massive battery drain in Kit Kat? I can charge my Nexus to 100% and in an hour or two it's completely dead with blinking red light. I tried restarting to bootloader when it was at 5% but it was still on for like a half hour. Once I restarted my phone, my battery read 0%. I'm thinking it may be time to change the battery if no one else is having this problem.
I suggest you to reset the battery stat from the recovery. The probability that this works are low but is better then nothing.
How do I do that from recovery?
Edit: phone was charged to 98%, rebooted into recovery to see if I could wipe stats in TWRP, rebooted again, phone reads 28%, 3 minutes later it read 66%.

To wipe battery stats in TWRP:
boot into TWRP recovery
/advanced/File Manager/
folder /data/system/
click batterystats.bin
click Delete
reboot system
If you can't see the folder, you need to mount the data folder.

You should have the wipe battery stat under advanced in your recovery.
The right step to follow are:
1. charging the battery FULLY
2. wipe Battery Stats
3. don't charge the device until the battery still turns off your device because it empty
4. now again FULLY charge without interruption
Wiping battery stats does nothing, see here: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/ . Sounds like your battery is borked. May need to send away for repair. Are you still under warranty?

Yeah I figured. Thought it was a KitKat bug at first but then it started getting ridiculous. Phone was at 70%, started taking a photosphere, phone shut off, and when I turned it back on it was at 3%.
No its not. Bought it off Craigslist. Just gonna order a battery off eBay for $18 and replace it myself, see if that fixes anything.
I just got out of a similar problem.
My battery percentage was jumping all over the place.
It would charge fully in about 5 mins, and die in about 20.
Everytime I restarted the phone, it would read a different percent.
I ended up running the phone on full brightness, with like everything turned on to drain the battery all the way down.
& Everytime it would shut off cause it had no battery left, just restart it and keep draining it until when you reboot the phone it no longer turns on(because the battery if fully drained of course).
That's when it is really dead.
Then just charge it to 100%, and keep it charging for about 20 extra minutes once it hits 100%, and now it's back to normal!

That really worked? Any problems with it since and is this a common issue with the N4? For some reason it won't die when it's in the bootloader even though the percentage read 5.
So yesterday it was so dead that it gave me the red blinking light, should I charge it when that happens again and should I leave it off while charging it or turn it on and not touch it?
How many times did you have to do this until it straightened itself out?

I am currently having WakeLock problems, but I do not beleive this was the cause.
I was able to restart it after it died about 4-6 times, till it was fully dead.
Then I charged the phone, and kept it off the whole time.
I installed wakelock detector to make sure that wasn't the problem. I had this problem on the stock rom even before I rooted. So the problem hasn't persisted since?
