So I bought the official Motorola extended battery. I've followed ever freaking guide there is to resetting the battery and all. I still have issues with my battery, multiple roms, wipes, resets haven't helped. I unplug my charger at 7am, by noon I have 10% or less left. It stays low till it turns off sometime the next day.
What am I missing.....
That's very odd.
I know that you stated you had already tried a battery wipe, but just to be careful:
Charge to 100%
Let it run completely dead
Charge to 100% without turning the phone on
Wipe Battery Stats
Also, there's more information I need to post here, and what rom are you using?

I'm running MUI, latest build. I don't think it will charge with the phone off will it? On this rom I mean.
the 2nd Init ROMs won't charge while off. You should try putting up with a stock ROM for a day while you troubleshoot the battery. If you can correct the issue using the above method you should be gtg. Once it's fixed install MIUI on a full battery and do a battery wipe.
Ok so I flashed back to Libery .9. Charging from fully dead now while off.

Why not? It is nice to have always-signal available though
The miui rom drains the battery quite fast I have the extended life and I get about a day with miui. when I switch to cm7 I get about 3 days its the rom itself unfortunately

It's the roms more than likely.

Not sure what it was, I sbf'd, updated to the latest greatest and it still didn't work. Gave up on it, bought a Bionic when it came out
Ok, my battery(atleast I believe it's my battery) is having a serious issue, so hopefully someone will be able to help me out on this one. After flashing multiple roms and such over time now, this has never happened till now, basically whats going on is my phone will be completely charged, then ill unplug it and mess around with it for a short time then say the battery percentage is at 75% well randomly the phone will just completely shut off. When turning it back on the battery will be completely dead, or on occasion it will either be slightly the same percentage or lower, but most of the time completely dead. Ive been running the same old stock evo battery since the day the evo came out and im currently running Gruesomwolf's shooter e3d rom which ironically this all started happening the first time I flashed it. So hopefully someone can help out with this, been thinking the battery is just done for, but im not sure. So I figured i'd ask for some help and opinions on what to do haha
Sounds like the battery is done to me.
Your battery is toast.

since no one's said it, I think your battery is pining for the fjords.
Might want to clear battery stats and charge to full once while the phone is turned off, but I really think daisies are being pushed up...
Check and clean the contacts on both the battery and on the phone itself, being careful not to short the battery while cleaning it. Then, reinstall the battery and make sure theres not too much or any play where contact may be lost. If you do that and still have a problem, its definitely new battery time.

your battery might be dead but you should either try 1 of 3 things first:
1 - you can calibrate your battery
2 - Flash a new Kernel
3 - Flash a new Rom
you may find aosp roms/kernels in the link in my sig, if you are interested. hope i helped ^_^
Calibrating Without Downtime!

Try this trick by zeppelinrox: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11803458&postcount=10
Sounds like its toast to me as well. But you can try calibrating like others have mentioned just for sh*ts and giggles. It may or may not help.
Unplugging your battery and dropping a ton of percentage...that's normal with most evos...lack of an SBC kernel

If u clean the contacts use a qtip and 91% rubbing alcohol. Let it sit for 30 mins so the alcohol can completely evaporate. Then charge til green light with phone off, boot into recovery wipe battery stats, and cache and dalvik while ur there, reboot to phone run it completely dead recharge to green while phone is still off. Use like normal afterwards if battery is still acting up time to euthanize it and get a replacement
Edit: by 91% alcohol I mean the bottle says 91% on it not like 91% alcohol mixed with 9% water its the purest alcohol u can buy at the store

Having this issue too after installing CM a few days ago. My extended 3500mAh dies out a few hours quicker than with stock. I heard Tiamat and Savages Zen kernels help battery life. But having major problems trying to flash it.

Hey guys I need a little troubleshooting help from the community! I have a rooted(of course) mt4g. Recently I have been having an issue that I think may be battery related. Dont think its rom related but just for info, it happened to me on darkside ROM and capy's port, both sense 3.5. I thought it was a kernel or overclock/voltage problem but it happens on any kernel and i dont mess with voltages nor overclock more than stock. So now to the problem:
My phone randomly just shuts off at times. Usually when I'm on the phone or even when I'm just scrolling on a screen! I have noticed that when I go into recovery it shows me a battery percentage at the top but when I boot the phone without the charger connected, the rom shows a much lower percentage! However if I boot the phone with the charger connected, the rom shows the same percentage as recovery does! I have the battery calibration app from the market and used that as well as wiping batt stats from recovery and nothing has worked! So with that, I'm thinking I have a fried battery! Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated! If more info is needed, I will be happy to answer!

From reading this, i can say it's likely the battery, but a suggestion would be to try another battery on your phone before jumping to conclusions...i've had my phone reboot itself several times, especially when i first bought the phone, but has stopped.. am currently using the Darkside Rom as well.. there's an updated version 4.0 out.... so try another battery.Also not to bash any app developer, but 4ext recovery battery stats basically does the same things as the other battery app used..For me, i shut down my phone, and plug it till i get the green light(100%), then take out the battery, wait like 1minute, put it back have the charger plugged in, reboot in recovery clear battery stats.. reboot when fully booted take out the charger..it should be good..i don't do this all the time, but i noticed doing this helps my battery in terms of fully charging..
Thanks! I will try your method while i'm waiting on the battery I ordered to come in.

I got the phone just 3 days ago from an insurance claim, had no problems with it other than the power button is a pain sometimes.
I rooted the phone yesterday with visionary at first, then gfree after i got the s-off, and I have the CWM 5.8 touch recovery. I then flashed Virtuous Unity 2.39 and the Darkside v12 kernel, as well as all sorts of different radio's. I then fell asleep after installing those, and before setting up the ROM, and i left it charging on my computer overnight.
I woke up about 5 hours later, and the phone was at 4% battery life. I dont know what happened. i can get it to about 2% charge and then it stops and dies out. i did notice that the clock on the status bar froze at one point and said 11:40 when it was really 12:27. the clock widget on the main screen was correct the whole time.
I am able to get into recovery, I am able to get into fastboot, I am able to get into the ROM...
I have switched out the radio to different one than the one last night, and i have switched the kernel to "CollectiveACE-BFS-v0.1.5" and that doesnt solve the issue. I have also cleared the battery stats, even though i didn't want to since it was at such a low level of power...none of these things helped.
I have also noticed that after the phone shuts off, when i power it back on, it goes into recovery. I am unsure why, but when I tell it to reboot from recovery, it goes right back to recovery, and i have to pull my battery to get it to go to the OS.
Any idea's? and I am sorry if this is confusing...
Try flashing a new ROM. But before you do, flash Mike1986's superwipe script from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61962340/Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe.zip , just to make sure everything is fully clean . Then flash your ROM of choice. Also, never flash radios for the heck of it. They can easily brick your device. Be careful, and report back

Stop flashing aosp kernels on your SENSE rom... Try darkside sense v7 or one of the unity kernels and all should be fine.

I have installed Icecreaminsanity 7.1 AOKP fixed or whatever the name of it is. I did not know the kernels were different depending on AOSP and Sense. If i have ICS on it now, which kernel should I use since there are no ICS kernels for the glacier?
I dont know if the charging issue is fixed yet, because i just did the superwipe and put on the ICS ROM. I will post if it is fixed or not, but my hopes are low
edit: Sorry, it is IceColdInsomnia 7.1.AOKP-test.
WOW i love this ROM...but i digress...its still too early to tell if it's going to fix the charging issue. I did notice that when the screen was on and i was going through the launcher, it didnt interrupt me telling me my battery was only at 3%...maybe that's a good sign.
No, it didnt fix the issue. While leaving the screen off and plugged into the wall, the charge dropped to 2%, and now it's blinking between the green and orange LED's...what do I do now??? Any recommended kernels for this rom? would an AOSP kernel be better than a Sense kernel for this new ROM?
Edit: I am already using the kernel mentioned by the OP in the thread for that ROM...the Collectives ACE kernel.
Get an external battery charger or find a friend with a glacier or t-bolt and charge the battery. Flash PD15IMG.zip and start over. If it still doesn't charge tell them they sent you a busted device, raise some hell, and see what you can get.

i think that may be my only option. I appreciate your guys' help. it was really nice to see people giving actual advice with links instead of just telling me im in idiot and telling me to search for it.
Haha, well some of us are trying. Also, you didn't post in the dev section, so that's an automatic plus.
Don't forget to get S-On if you have to send it back.

Haha yeah, props to OP!
i'm no noob to this forum or to rooting...but i am to the MT4G...lol it's a completely different beast than the MT3G i came from. Thanks again, and i guess a mod can close this thread out...
My Nook is suddenly taking about 12+ hours to charge, with the OEM cable and plug. I couldn't get it to charge at all at first. I did finally get it fully charged, and it instantly jumped from 78% battery power to 30%. I had tried to clear the battery thing in recovery mode, which might have made things worse.
It doesn't appear to be going into sleep mode, either, as after the 30% jump, I turned off the screen, and the next morning, it was completely drained. Am I looking at a dying battery?
Using one of the latest CM7 nightlies. The problems started after a few weeks of it working fine with the new ROM.
How old is your nook and is it one of the version 1 or version 2 releases?...I had a version 1 doing the exact same thing. Luckly I was still under Warranty and was able to get a replacement, which is the version that was released mid may of 2011 I think. And it had the 5gb data 1 gb media partition...its bwwn working fine and I'm running the cm 7.2 kang w/ mirage kernel.

Let it completely discharge (screen shuts off and Nook is non-responsive) and then charge it up fully. Any battery problems come after flashing and this method always fixes things.

It's about two (?) years old and version 1. Doubt it's under warranty anymore.
