Even after installing cm7 I would get about 8 hours of use out of my kf. One day It would only charge to an indicated 90%. So I let it charge overnight, cleared battery stats, and let it run until it shut off. I let it charge back up but now I'm only getting bout 5 or 6 hours of use.... suggestions?

Question: Does anyone know if it's ok to boot on Clockwork and wipe the batter stats? I flashed my phone last night to midNIGHT 2.5 w/ext4 with low battery charge and this morning within 2 hours of unpluging it from a full charge I was down to 18% and pretty much all I did was listen to music for about 30 minutes total time. Any thoughts? I'm not running a bunch of apps or widgets and Im using ADW launcher Ex
You should have a full battery before you wipe battery stats.
Try this:
Charge with the phone on until 100%
Turn the phone off, unplug it, plug it back in and charge again until it is done.
Turn the phone back on, unplug it, plug it back in, and make see if it is at 100%
Then wipe battery stats.
Or if you have an external battery charger, just charge and bump charge a time or two, then wipe battery stats.
Hi all,
My Atrix won't charge more than 90%.
Do you have a solution ?
Thank you
goto the market and look for battery calibration, when it hits 90% or so or wont charge more, hit calibrate, then drain it to 0 and charge it back and see what happens, also whats the voltage levels at 90% ?
Thank you for your return,
The voltage is 4.036V at 90%.
I will try and let you know.
Same problem here. Also when charging, the indicator is not working.

The battery thing is a pain in my A$$.. this is what I did to fix it:
1) drain phone 100%
2) charge to full while phone is off
3) while phone was still charging, I pulled the battery, waited for the screen to show a question mark, then I plugged the battery back in. Then it shows the battery as 5% or 10% (YMMV)
4) let it charge again for another 2 hours
5) before turning on; I went into recovery and deleted battery stats, then rebooted
6) phone should be at 100% or close to it, if not, then wait until its at 100%, then calibrate the battery using the app.
NOW ---- after doing all this, my phone seemed fine.. then.... the problem started happening where the phone wouldnt charge to 100, then it wouldnt charge to 95, then it wouldnt charge to 90, then it wouldnt charge to 85..
of course I started freaking out like WTF -- but.. this is what I did to fix it:
I tolerated it. I just kept using my phone, charging when I needed too, etc etc etc. I never let it die completely.. i just kept charging once the phone hit 10% or so (over night mostly, and sometime thruout the day).
Eventually the percentage started creeping back up... slowly.. I noticed after every overnight-recharge, the percentage would climb up by 1. So it would goto 85..86...87.. etc. etc. until it got to 95.
Then over the weekend while I was streaming a movie on a car ride home; the phone died because I ran out of battery, I took it home --- put it on the charger without turning it on... let it charge for an hour or so, when I turned it on the phone was at 80%.
I kept charging it -- and now.. after ALL OF THAT... my phone charges to 100% . EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Sorry for the long post -- but this is what I went through to fix my battery. a PAIN IN THE A$$ , but I think eventually your battery will learn to fix itself.
This is from all information I found in these forums, I can't take credit for any of this.
Started last night after I updated a few play store apps. I put my phone in the charger and it was at 1% at the time. I got it up to about 17% and it just stopped charging. I thought it was just the charger (official LG) so I switched it out and grabbed another (Touchpad charger) and it started charging again.
Skip to the morning about 6-7 hours later. Phone is really hot, 75% battery and not charging even though it's still plugged in. First instinct, restart it. At this point I had to get ready for work. When I got to work I let it slowly drain out and waiting about 30 minutes after it died before charging it, thinking that the battery needed a calibration. So I charged it up to about 35% and had to go for lunch. By the time I get back in a little over an hour it's at like.. 10% I think which is pretty odd for that amount of time.
Anyway I let it drain out again, at this point I also reflashed my current rom (dirty wipe), installed betterbatterystats and another app to check wake locks. I also installed greenify and froze 2-3 things. Drain is still happening although it might have slowed a little bit.
Fast forward to home, I have now completely wiped my phone and flashed the latest stable CM on it (10.1.2). In about 40 minutes I went from 25% - 15%. I DID NOT FLASH GAPPS YET. This is running barebones with literally no apps, no syncing (no gapps, no google signin) with WiFi on. I'm thinking the fast drain has to do with A) Uncalibrated battery (I haven't hit 100% in about 48 hours now almost) or B) battery is dead (or really bad).
TL;DR Battery is draining super fast, no [excessive] wake locks, dirty flashed once, clean wiped once. Drain still happening. All in a period of less than 24 hours. Is this a hardware issue?
have you tried a custom kernel?? .. try Franco's i think it's the best for battery life.

I flashed Franco M3 last night before going to bed. I'm going to see how today goes, but right now I can tell you I don't think it fixed anything.

I'll give it a shot whenever it gets low battery today.
you can' really judge franco kernel until a few battery cycle as it need to settle with your ROM.
Yesterday, my battery was running perfectly fine. Today, the battery goes for about 10 minutes on screen time. Getting it charged from 10% to 100% is very quick, maybe takes about 10 minutes. But going from 100%, it can discharge at about 5% per minute, regardless if im using it or not. When I was at 70%, i tried to restart my phone to see if it would fix it, but when It was going to turn back on, i was greeted with the low battery sign, signaling that the phone wasn't able to turn on. 70% = No Battery? Battery drains by 2% per minute when screen is off.
I'm running Lineage OS 14.1 official rom with magisk. Please help.
GSam Battery Monitor Says that 60% of battery is consumed by "Kernel (Android OS)"
Many times i have watched my battery go down multiple percent in a matter of a second its really scary

Your phone needs to re calibrate the battery. This is probably the bit I like the least about these phones. Near as I can tell the best method is to let it drain till dead - then plug in with your charger and leave for several hours. Power on while phone is still plugged in - let it continue charging another hour.
Use normally. You may need to repeat this a few times.

I've done that about 4 times. It didn't really make a difference... then I used a battery callibration app from the play store which didn't even require a full battery drain or charge and it worked very well... weird.

What app? willing to try next time I have the same issue (about every couple months it would seem)
Hey all
I've noticed something of late with my OP6T. When I charge it to 100% and take it off the charger, it drops ~5% very quickly seemingly without any wakelocks/alarms that cause it. Does anyone else experience this? Is there something I can do about this or is the battery just on it's way out? It's a little strange as the device is only 1yr old. I bought it around 9 Nov.
Here are some of the screens from BBS attached. As you can see it doesn't look out of the ordinary.
Another strange thing is that once it reaches around ~95% then it will start to act as normal, so it takes MUCH longer to go from 95 downwards.
What's going on here?
Other things tried:
- root and run battery calibrate
- factory flash fastboot images
- use custom kernel
All show the same issue so far. This did not happen at all until recently. Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE: I let the battery drain completely and had the phone self-power off, then powered it up a couple more times until the "Battery too low, charge before use" sign started coming up. Once that happened, I plugged the phone into a slow charger, turned it on and left it to charge. I plugged it out when I went to bed (at 100%) and it seems to be all good now. Woke up 6 hours later with the phone at 98%.
Just in case anyone else is having the issue, give that a try.

Battery percentage is a estimate. Discharging it fully and charging it only makes the estimate a bit more precise. I remember on my old phone that it could drop 40 percent in 15 minutes and when you put the device away in your pocket it could go up about 5 percent.
