Battery dies with 9 percent left on darkstone build.

Help, my phone is dying even though the battery still reads 9 percent left. I am using darkstones froyo build v3 and 2.12 radio. Is there some way to reset the battery to make it go down to 0 percent ?

turn off phone. charge up to 100% and then start windows. make sure the battery reads 100% after charging (with phone off), if it reads 100% then boot android. and let it fall to around 50% (take note of exact %) turn off, boot into windows and check if % is same on windows as it is in android. if so, w00t theres your problem solved. if not, well. thats it. nothing more to do.
also. this should have been posted in darkstones thread..... NOT POSTING A NEW THREAD IN DEVELOPMENT.
and if your finger was itching that badly to make a new thread. do it in the GENERAL OR Q&A FORUM!!! NOT DEVELOPMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same problem. Are you using Hastarin's v7.7 kernel?

I wasn't getting answers on darkstones thread and I wasn't itching for posting a thread. I was itching for an answer.
Thank you for the tip, but I've already done that. Ill check again.
And no, I'm not using that kernal. Are you?

same here
my phone just died it was reading 7% when it died. using the Nexus one build 1.5 and stock kernel 10.27.

Charge to 100% (as in: turn it off and make sure it reaaally is fully charged), then remove battery stats using a root explorer (Google for where exactly this file is stored), then let your battery run out completely. Afterwards, problem should be fixed.

The hastarin kernel didn't help. Same thing happened.
And do I let the battery run out in android or winmo after deleting the battery stats file? I removed it before with terminal emulator but didn't let the battery run dead in winmo. It died at 9 in android again.

1) I don't know about this so...
2) You're not alone,all newer videos can't be played in HQ in the YT app...Try the browser version,some videos might play in HQ there
3)Only way I know of is to turn off Data or Wifi

Yeah I'm tryingti block ads like that but I heard that you can change smthg in the hosts file and it will stop the ads.
Anyway thanks.

drain your battery completely, let your phone switch off on its own. Reboot into recovery (dont plug in your charger yet, and dont worry - it still has some juice left) and wipe battery stats. Now boot up again, still not plugging in, and as soon as it stabilizes it should power off on its own. This time you will not have enough juice to boot up again. NOW plug in your charger, and after a couple of minutes, unplug and boot by holding power button+trackball (CWM recovery bug) and plug it in again. Dont use it till its fully charged. See if this helps at all.

Yeah I found your post yesterday 8am it was unplluged (music for about a hour, internet all the time, sms) and now its 10:35pm and I have left 27%. Better than 0

I read a thread. It is about battery problem with adw. Adw claims that the launcher will dry your battery. But I think the problem is already fixed.

Why do we got the problems with our BATTERYs ?!

So... I was wondering... WHY DO WE GOT THAT PROBLEMS !?
If we take the NEXUS S Rom and convert it for our PHONES (GT540), where is the TRICK ? Why do we get that problems with the battery and te NEXUS S users not ?!
NEXUS S got the same battery like GT540 and after the GSMarena compare, the GT540 takes it much better then the NEXUS S !
CAN someone explain it maybe ?! Cause I really dont understand

Its the rom itself not the battery.

I know that thx for the reply... But where is the TRICK, why is the ROM quilty for that probs, why is everything else working just perfect and just the battery not ?!
Im sry for that topic and for that question, but Im gonna sell my phone cause of the freakin ****ty battery lifes on every better ROM

Well the rom has a file with the battery calculator. And this isnt calibrated right for all roms.
Also most roms are still under active development so dont get your hopes up about good battery life etc etc

I think battery problem have something with kernel, on 2.1 i use 4 diferent kernel (orginal lg, 666 infernal, quarx, pcfighter) and every kernel have diferent battery life, diferente dischargin steps. So... no orginal kernel no good battery life.

THX for you answer !

I have a Nexus S. The battery lasts 1 day If I use .It is not overclocked (yet) . The battery is same on gt540 it lasts 1 day if I use it.See the attached screenshots from my Nexus S.

What I usually do is that after the battery is charged to 100%, I reboot the phone in recovery and keep it plugged in and charge for anther 15 mins. That seems to give me an additional 1 hour as my phone stays at 100% for at-least an hour before falling back to 99%.

I have had my phone off charge for 5 hours and its sitting on 95%.

Really god i need to invest time in re calibrating mines shocking 13hrs then it died

Battery depends on few things.
1. Kernel
2. Rom itself
3. It will drain faster with data on.
4. Some crapy apps kill your battery.
Choose kernel and rom wisely. Turn off your data if you don't need it. Uninstall unnecessary apps

FOR all those WHO GOT the same problem like me...
I fingered out how my battery is holding for 4 days now...
When you plugin your phone into charge mode... just dont let it to go into "SCREEN OFF"... make your Screen OFF to 30minutes and just hit the screen every 25 mins... or just install an app which doesent allow your phone to autoScreenOff it
After this lil trick... it just works for me now... I hit 113Hours with this trick on Muraiks M6 Version !!!!!!!!!

Running codefireX 1117 nightly, heavy usage, and I get around 7ish hours before the phone hits 0 %

Uses like 35% overnight, 7 hours. Airplane mode. But that is not the worst part. It uses much more when screen is on. It is like 1% per minute or so. I can have like 30-60 minutes of screen time... I wonder if it is a problem because there is no JB ROM for our device so some part is missing. Because I have same problem with my wife's Galaxy Ace. I wonder if JB Sense ROMs are any better in this respect, they are closer to stock than our pure google JB.

If you install a new ROM, in the first minutes battery live is very short.... after that it goes to a normal state.... it's possible to go to 48hours, if I use it as a phone :angel: If I use it as a smartphone, battery is empty in 12 hours.... :victory:

battery problem
first THANK YOU randomblame for the awsom rom :good:
yes i confirm the battery consumption is very bad ...... i am sorry to say that I really love this rom but the main problem is the battery I hope in the next release the battery will be better
another problem i found is the dailer is taking to long to load some times i hope in the next release it will load faster the same of sense roms

Ultimate Battery Tweak - think I've cracked it!

Just finished my latest raft of battery saving tweaks for my rooted s3 and here are the results.
I consider myself a medium user and managed to get 54 hours off my last charge. Interested to see how other people's experiences match up to mine.

Look at your Awake and Screen on times.
Might as well leave your mobile untouched for 2.5 days.

What matters is screen on time, not how long between charges, if you only use your phone for 5 mins a day you will wait a long time between charges. I can get 4 hours screen time which is decent (That's 4 hours in one day) So in theory if I use my phone for 1 hour a day I should get 4 days usage out of it.
All it shows is you don't use your phone much, show me a screen time of more than 6 hours and I will check out the battery tweak in use (as long as I can still use my phone)

Ok will post my screen on time stats from my next charge, pretty sure it's more than six hours.

What's the point of having these devices if you'll use them like regular phones. I see no apps in your battery details. Obviously you're unlocking your device only for phone calls and swiping between screens and app drawer because of boredom.
Better to get a nokia 3310 and never care about battery again...

There you go Delsus just got home from a day out onsite plus the commute back & forth - 8 hours screen on time.

Cool, so what exactly is your "tweak"?

The second image is "screen on time" though
later edit:
one more,but not mine.
when i will have time i will try to see how much "screen on" i can reach (although i can reach 8 hours of text reading, i doubt that i will reach that playing NOVA.)

i am currently using Null 15.1 with siyah kernel
i used to let my Wifi on the whole time to test it and with screen on + downloads time to time..
Max time :8hrs
Min time : 7hrs.

A bit of background I use my phone for work & spend alot of time away from a power supplier (either a plug socket or my car charger) & was finding my battery was fried within about 4 hours of constant use.
By researching & implementing battery tweaks (which don't affect the performance of my phone) and I've managed to get it up to 8 hours.
I'd be happy to post my battery tweaks for others to use, what I'm interested in is other user's experiences to benchmark against.

The problem is a lot of noobs post junk or badly researched / bench marked stuff .or even exact same battery life posts week after week . We have three identical topics in the first three pages of General as it is .
Hence regular users are cynics after all it is a developers forum not some childish fix my phone look at my quadrant forum .
Well researched logical topics don't get attacked .

Do you mind sharing your tweaks, would be interesting to see.

Finally some members with a modicum of common sense. Yes will post a full list of apps & settings when I get home this evening.
FYI although my background is in Linux based sysadmin I've not gone seriously 'under the hood' merely used apps that are properly configured & applied system tweaks via root.
