[TIP] How to fix frozen battery indicator - Xperia Play General

Hi,
I had this problem with my xperia play running CM9 RC2... The battery indicator froze, I couldn't see if my battery was discharging or charging... Always at 100% charge... so if someone has the same problem, this is how I fixed it! easy
I donĀ“t know if this works on others roms....
Enter CMW recovery
go to Advance->wipe battery stats
Restart andThere you go! :highfive:
It may be a dumb thing... but it could help someone!
cheers :good:

I agree, this should at least be stickied to keep people from asking.

Battery problem.

My Wildfiire battery doesnt last nearly as long as it did when I first got it.
I have had it with many custom ROM's and 2 RUU's to see if it could be the a software issue but they all do the same.
I have gotten a new battery but does the same.
The only thing is when I install and do all the wipes the battery cache doesnt seem to say its completed and its done that on all the rom's and ruu's.
I am using Rom manager with the lastest clockworkmod.
3G and wifi is always on and has always been that way auto sync is of.
Any ideas ppl?
Would love some help.
cheers
Wow nobody had this problem?
Not me certainly. Battery life actually seems better to me than when I got it, thanks to the CPU Clock setting apps and Custom ROMs.
i've had some problems as well, it stays at 100% for a LONG time and then drops drastically if I'm using mobile data. Try draining fully, boot into recovery and clear battery stats, and then charging full. then don't charge again until dead, after which charge it till its full again. might help.

Actually, when the phone turns off on its own, it still has some juice left, should be more than enough to boot into recovery and clear stats.

You can try an app called Battery Calibration from the Market. Someone had recommended it when it helped with his incorrect battery readings.
Ok. I try battery calibration app. Thank u very much for u help.
One more question: i flash tiamat 2.2.2 and is a very good rom but when i download all my apps on market only have a problem with thinkfree, i use this app for work and i need, i pay for this app two month ago and now when i try to instal market force close, all another app restore ok.

Can you go into purchase history in the market and find that app? Sometimes I have found that I can click on it and sometimes manage it and clear the cache, etc. I would start by clearing the cache and data (if you have it saved somewhere else) and see if it works OK. I'm on Moray 2.2.2. and that app works ok, I just checked.
I go to web android market and i vcan instal the app. Thank u very much for ur help and tonigh i charge battery $ hours and after see what can i do with battery app u told me. Thanks

Sorry, I forgot that that only works with a rooted device.
root checker say im root. What can i do?
If you're rooted, you should have Clockwork Mod installed. If you boot into CWM, you can reset the battery status from there. That seems to work sometimes.
Obviously he is rooted fellas if he's flashin kernels...
Try doing this
power down
charge it (while its off) till green
unplug
power on
charge it (while its on) till green
unplug
Go into recovery
Wipe battery stats
Reboot
Power on
Let it sit for a bit
**OPTIONAL**
CHARGE TO 100%
when i wipe battery stats is CWM nothing happen.

Well nothing is suppose to happen it should start to charge normally after you calibrate your battery the way I posted if it doesn't flash a different kernel
when i conect charge white light still on but when the battery have 30-50% the light flashes still white and only charge 5-10% more. Never green light last night i charge the xoom 12 hours and only charge 54%. Thanks

Don't trip on the English bro trust I've seen worst lol
As far as the kernel goes it really depends on the ROM your running what ROM are you running right now?
I use tiamat 2.2.2 moray. Thanks

Recurring battery issues

I've been having a problem with my battery for a while now where the mV's stay where they should and the percentage drops really fast leaving me with horrible battery life. I've tried calibrating my battery plenty of times and tried various guides and fixes but nothing seems to fix my battery. Can anyone help me or should I invest in a new battery? Thanks
For example, I took a screenshot while my battery was at 3593mV (4200mV is full) and it said it was at 15%. This happens on every rom I flash but I'm currently on Miui Alpha 3 if that makes any difference.
i am sure you have looked at this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1407569, it seems there are a few of us that have some battery issues.
I have seen that thread, but I'm not sure if I have the same problem or not. For me, the percentage of my battery just goes down way faster than the actually charge on my phone.
for some reason, i think that its the way the phones are reading the data. the math is wrong. the only reason why i am thinking this is cause my dads phone is doing the same thing, not showing 100% charge when it should be.
what happens when your phone reaches 0%? does it shut off? whats the battery voltage when this happens?
My phone shut off at 0%. After rereading that thread I managed to fix my battery by doing this:
1. Charge to %100
2. Use a wall charger and take the battery out so it shows a question mark, then put the battery back in till you think its at 4200mV
3. Keep phone plugged in and delete the battery stats in /data/system, and cc_data, cc_data_old, and powerup from /data/battd
Hope those directions are good enough, hope you get your batteries fixed!

Battery issue since unrooting

Hey all,
Since unrooting my phone the battery seems to go down a lot faster, now I didn't clear anything off the phone once I added the new firmware so that maybe the issue.
When I look at the battery meter it's saying most of it's being used by android services, can anyone help me sort this?
Cheers
Paul
Hi,
Try recalibrating your battery . To do it, just let it fully discharge, then charge it completely while turned off (battery icon will pop up). After it you'll let it discharge completely again and do the same. I don't know if it's really the method, but always worked for me .
~Lord
Before unrooting did you use stock rom too?
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes used stock firmware to unroot everything and went okay but now my battery doesnt last long and wondered what I can potentially try to sort the issue out. I have tried letting the battery drain as above.

It's not.
Charge to 100%, pull battery, charge again to 100% while off. Battery calibrated. Fully discharging only damages your battery.
Yes I have done this also.
I have now done a factory rest and wiped everything clean so I will report back with my findings. Fingers crossed.

Problem fixed after the factory reset

[Q] Galaxy Note 3 massive battery drain and power button problem.

Hey guys.
My first post ever, so please bare with me.
I made a big mistake updating to 4.4.2 coz I've had only problems since that. I have a rooted SM-N9005 with a Danish carrier. I have read and read and read for at fix, but can't seem. to find on. . My problem is this.. I can have a fully charged battery, unplug the phone and can, by using the power button, turn the phone off and on again. BUT if I pull the battery out and insert it again after 10 sec, then the phone doesn't turn on. It only turns if it gets the power cord in again. That's the first problem.
The second on is the battery drain. I have done a dalvik clean, cache partition clean, factory reset, soft reset, hard reset, uinstalled pretty much every app that I have... nothing helps. I even bought a new battery.
Can you guys help me or guide me in the right direction on what to do??
Thank you in advance
Can't help with your first problem, sorry.
How quickly is your battery draining? Can you post a screenshot? And more details - custom/stock ROM, kernel etc.
You can try and pin down what is the biggest battery hog with Better Battery Stats.

Hey B3311
Thanks for the reply
A couple of screen shots. Even when using BBS I haven't been able to pin point the exact cut print
Dreadful drain indeed....
Can you see what's under "partial wakelocks" and "kernel wakelocks" in BBS?
You had wifi on but still huge drain when the screen was off and the phone was asleep, hence I'm thinking wakelock - something is stopping your phone from sleeping. But you need BBS or Wake Lock Detector to pin it down.
They can be a ***** to find, but can be zapped.

Hey Jdomadia
Pretty much everything is off.. data . GPS.. Bluetooth and so on.. I'm still wondering if my problem is due to the power button issue that I'm having
Hi Bro i had the same problem the source of it is the developper option just desable them from settings and every thing will be normal again i hope that works for you too
Hey Abdel310
That never cross my mind. Better Google how to disable them once I have enabled them. Bro, I tried everything so I'm gonna try this straight away!!
Just did it, and man if that helps I'll be the happiest camper you'll ever see
i had the same problem i left my phone fully charged and i go to sleep and at the morning i found it off and 0 % battery and no apps runnig just try it and full charg it and it will not drain battery at lest in the sleep mode
Sadly disabling the developer option didn't fix the problem..
it still drain battery in sleep mode ?
the latest screen shots from better battery stats. I can't find any partial wake lock that seems to cause the drain
It's starting to sound more like a malfunctioning battery itself. Especially considering your first issue.
Have you tried a different battery?
Also try it without the SIMcard. A malfunctioning SIM can also cause these issues. (Happened to me back on 4.3. Drained 12%/h, not a single wakelock and 98% deep sleep. No SIM, no drain. New SIM fixed it.)

So here is the latest update.. I found out that even when the phone is off, like shut down the phone drains the battery. had to phone to a complete charge, shut off the phone and left it alone.. during the night the battery was drained... and it's a brand new battery

If you can get your hands on another battery, just to test, try that (could be you bought a bummer battery) Do you have any friends with Note 3 you can swap batteries with just to see what it does?
Hey Burtcom
tanks for the reply. I can't believe that it's the battery, without knowing for sure. I'm still wondering if my problem is due to the power button issue.. as I mentioned, if I remove a fully charged battery from the phone and reinsert it, then the phone won't turn on. it will only turn on with a power cord.
Now my phone drains the battery even when the phone is off.. like completely turn off.
