Problem with displayed Battery-status while charge-only mode? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I am currently using Quarkx's CM10 Builds on my Motorola Defy red lense.
A long time ago I noticed that my battery gets empty really really fast (I would say 20 minutes of active usage in 12 hours --> 15% remaining in the evening).
So, as my charger had some problems, I decided to charge my phone after shutting it down.
Then I saw something unexpected:
As i shut my phone down it shows me about 10% remaining.
After the shutdown, with the charger connected to the device, it starts to boot in charge-only mode as usual, but it displayes about 70% remaining!
I have the impression that the battery status doesnt get reported correctly to Android in "full functional-mode".
How can I fix the issue of two different battery-statuses?
I really hope you can help me and understand my bad english,
Greetings,
Battlestr1k3

Hi, use from supercharger thread the batteryscript.

Battery not charging to 100%

Been running Android for over a week now and this morning when pulling the phone of the charger I noticed it was only at 89%. This is from a full overnight charge.
Got to work and it had dropped to 85% (Watching videos) and plugged it into my laptop at work and it again only charged to 89%
Anyone else had the same issue. Will cut back to Windows to see if it goes further.

Hello dude!
Try removing the battery, wait a few minutes and put it again. See what happen.
Sometimes it is a error when the driver is "reading" the battery settings/status.
Hope it help!!
Same with me, only 90% with all night chage
Same here mine will only charge to 93% while charging overnight
Rebooting into womo and it then proceeded to charge to 100%.
Not a major but a bug that needs investigating.
also had this issue a user responded to me on the builds thread, he said to let it run down to 5% and plug the charger back in. also the one about booting to wm then back on android should fix it.
Same here at 94%. Seems to be a common problem...

Yes, I've got a same problem.
I've heard that no Charging-Stop exists (in kernel), so you may "destroy" your battery because it is overcharging ... so be careful
mine stops at 93%
yeah im a bit scared for my battery...ive been charging it almost twice a day now cause it dies so fast
i even have SetCPU with the profiles from the other thread, but its still draining REALLY fast...
i hope this doesnt have any permanent damage to the battery :S

where did you hear that? can you confirm?
The no stop sounds like complete nonsense. For one, it would be an obvious massive problem so the devs would have worked on it. Two, if you can detect battery charge it would be really easy to make it stop. Three, if it didn't stop, why did it used to halt at 98% for most people?

also battery working in read only mode, it's why during long android usage u can get wrong results. Will be fixed in future.
Hard reset..is only one solution
Actually _everyone_ can get this problem - after reboot u won't able to launch any external exe (exe from rom will work).
It happen because something sometimes can be corrupted during WM shutdown...
I got this problem two times Both time need to hard reset device.
So I recommend to everyone make backups!
So is it confirmed that robot voice (apt voice ) issue fixed now?
^^
confirm problem
read this before post
I have the same problem. HTC wildfire.
Try recalibrating the battery:
1. Turn off all uncessesary apps in the background.
2. Let the battery of the phone run out until it turns its self off.
3. Take out the battery for 2 minutes
4. Put the battery back in and charge the battery until it is fully charged "At least 4 hours"
5. Once it has charged take the battery out for 2 minutes then put it back in and boot the phone up
I managed
The phone was on and charging all night and it was at 97%. I turned off the phone and left it plugged for couple of hours, on and its 100%. Simples

[Q]The truth about defy+ battery fixes

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU POST!!!!
Hello!!
i wish to know if someone could charge his defy+ to 100% with some of those fixes in froyo rom.
The thing is that some fixes charges to 100% BUT is not the defy+ 100%, those fixes make the phone use the battery like a normal defy one. But doesnt charge it to the real value in mV
defy full mv charge : ~4160mV
defy+ full mv charge : ~4320mV
So is there someone who using some fix could charge his defy+ to the REAL defy+ value? it doesnt matter if it says 100%, the thing is to check the mV.
The truth, to relate to your title, is in fact, that there is no fix that works for everyone...
I've read a lot on the original German topic for white rabbit, and the author Einsteinno tried to implement such a fix with a little help from his fellow beta-testers.
The conclusion was, that for almost everyone who tried any of the fixes another one or none worked... Maybe it's the build of their Defys, maybe bootloader or kernel or something else.
It seems you have tried a few and if none off them worked so far, you might have to wait a little longer...

after changing lots of rom i finally stayed some time on miui pikachu edition and i had the 83% battery charge.. then i tried with some fixes and it displaied 100% but the real value wasn't around 4300..
then i decided to flash a full sbs, charge my phone till real 100% and then install cm7 white rabbit! till then, i get always full charge!
hope i help you
bye
I have got a fix I tried that some one tried on MIUI and they say it worked and as far as I know thats froyo based?? Any way give it a go but back up your original battd.bin (copy it to a SD card location) incase it fails so you can restore it.
Here is the link the fix and instructions is last post on page one. Please post on that thread if it works for you and what version your running.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625504
I would guess that both batteries are fully charged at the same voltage ~4.2V - However you need to be carefull when you measure the voltage. Use a Multimeter and try to draw some current and measure while you do it I bet the voltages will differ.
The thing that differs on the batteries are the capacity (mAh), which in no way translates to fully charged Voltage. (lower than 4.2 does however say something about how much charge is remaining, but the discharge curve is pretty flat)
A battery charge circuit typically detects the fully charged capacity by measuring that the voltage no longer increases (and then continue to trickle charge for a while to get it fully charged).
EDIT: spelling

Here is some info i postin the link from above
What's the difference between the battery indicator while the phone is turned off and the one when it's turned on?
I own a Defy (Red lens) and have CM9 (Defy+) with its batteryfix. However, strange things happen with battery measurement:
-Turned off it shows 100%, and when I turn it on, it shows 89% or so.
-I plugged it when it was on 8% (turned off), and as soon as the battery indicator showed, it said "45%".
Now I'm charging it (turned on) and it shows 96% and 4146mV in BatteryCalibration (I understand this is ok).
I'm curious about it, and also a bit afraid of damaging my battery.

[Q] Defy+ MB526 bettery discharge too fast

Hello!
This week I bought a new Defy+ MB526.
Tried to root it, no success.
After thinking I flashed:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP231_AR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTARAB_P016_A027_M001_Service1FF.sbf
The problem is I have to charge battery twice a day! Yesterday I charged it to 100%, and after 7 hours (WiFi on, BT standby, GPS standby, no calls\sms) battery fall to 50%.
I used to have HTC HD2 with CM9, ICS 4.0.4 and battery could last for 2 days before charge needed..
Does anyone have an idea what causing it and what to do?
Thanks!

Sometimes it happens to me a similar problem. Battery get drained within a few hours without any CPU activity. What I can say is that it seems to happen especially in the move while fast hopping from one cell to another. Battery suddenly reaches +40°C which is a good pointer to expect only a few hours of phone activity. As of now I didn't try to reboot the phone, though.
Questions go in the Q&A section
In my case, battery didn't rise ~32 degrees. The only Time it goes over ~40 degrees is when charging.
Currently I'm starting to be sorry for bought this device..
Reflash the ROM. And calibrate your battery.There's an APP for that in the play store (If I remember it correctly)
PS: You're sorry for buying it. M sorry 'cause mine's been stolen & I miss it..
battery discharging soon
using cm 10 on my defy + mb 526
battery discharging very fast which used to last long before rooting my phone
GPS -off , wi fi -off , 2G data - on some times

"Show low low battery logo" Nexus 7 thinks battery is dead even when fully charged!

"Show low low battery logo" Nexus 7 thinks battery is dead even when fully charged!
I have already got a replacement on order from the Play Store but since I haven't seen any reports on this after plenty of searching I figured I'd describe the issue.
My 16gb Nexus 7 worked pretty much flawlessly for the first several days of pretty light use minus very minimal flicker on occasion. As of two days ago the unit is basically unusable as it randomly but excessively decides that the battery is dead even though it is fully charged. The first several times this happened I wasn't paying attention and I thought it just shut off by itself, but then I started to watch it more closely but it also started happening more and more. As of this morning it will not stay on more than 5 minutes before it audibly notifies a low battery with the messages "Connect Charger" and "Powering down". Sometimes it will give two options "Battery" and "OK" but I was never able to actually get the buttons to respond because it would already be shutting down. Other times it will just show the connect charger and powering down messages with no buttons which is strange, but in either case the device shuts down.
Once I started troubleshooting I figured out a little more information.
Watching the lock screen while it is charging I will see it go from it's (I think) correct charge percent to 0% randomly.
While not charging it will either show a red battery indicator in the notification area or just an empty battery when it decides to shut down
Sometimes it will boot right up and be back up to regular charge level (of course just to shut down again within a few minutes)
Other times it will not boot up and I noticed the error message (almost like a debug prompt mistakenly left in the code) in the upper left corner "Show low low battery logo" + some strange symbol like when you get 100 1-Ups in Super Mario Brothers . Yes the message has the word "low" twice - I guess this is lower than standard low!
Anyway, kinda bummed but since I have not seen any other report of this particular issue I'm hopeful that the replacement will not have the same problem. I'm just hoping I don't get a unit that has some of the other problems being reported so I'm crossing my fingers.
Mine started doing the same this morning

This sounds pretty similar to my problem from another thread. Every time it hits 25% while discharging it dies. Normally I'd say it's just a software calibration issue and fixable by wiping battery stats, but I've wiped several times at 100% and run down to 25% and it still dies.
Do you find that you still get a normal amount of battery life before it dies? It'd help to establish whether this is the battery misreporting, or actually not discharging properly.
* Strangely this time after my N7 had died at 25% I turned it on and it's at 0% battery. It's been charging for ~15min and it still says 0%... When you all first got the device, did you let it run to 0%, or did you charge it right away?
** And now, after almost an hour, it's at 1%. Seems to be charging, but brutally slowly (and I'm using the bundled charger, not PC USB).

Yours sounds like a similar but different issue. My N7 dies regardless of how much charge it has. It can have 100% charge and within 5 minutes it will report 0% charge and die. Then when I can get it to boot again it will be back up to 99% charge again. I can't get more than 10 minutes of use before it dies regardless of how much charge it truly has.

I'm starting to have this same issue, however mine goes at about 19%. Just turns off. I have also seen the show low battery in white text thing. I have tried calibrating by fully charging then deleting batterystats.bin from data/system and letting it decharge and it still died around there, I'm recharging again to 100 to see what happens this next time I let it go... thought mine was issue free than this happens
Well in case anyone else runs into this, I have no idea what caused this or how I got out of it thinking it was dead at 20%. I tried deleting the stats, reflashed stock and then CM10 and back again, tried a different kernel, and still died at 20 and gave me the "low low battery logo".
I just took it into Gamestop where I got it and started the process for an exchange, so I have another one coming now. Go figure when I got home I plugged it back in, and now this time just like omnikai said instead of being at 20% it was at 0 when I turned it on. Been a while and now and seems to be charging normally so hopefully it will decharge fine.. either way really weird only problem I've had with mine so far
** Just wanted to edit and say its now decharging normally dont know what caused it to spazz out or fix it one of those ghost in the machine android moments

Replacement N7 seems to be fine thusfar...
Apparently, somebody in StackExchange is having the same issue as well:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/27222/nexus-7-system-error-show-low-battery-logo
if anyone else gets this, try disconnecting the battery and then re connect and see if that fixes it. i had same type of issue on viewsonic g-tab and that was the required fix.
Mine did it at 10%, calibrated the battery and im getting truly awesome battery life 2 full days without a charge

While this reply is late to the game, it needs to be pointed out that such apps are 100% snake oil and do not calibrate the battery. They are based upon gross misinformation and any dev that tells you that clearing batterystats.bin has any effect on battery life or reported battery charge clearly doesn't know how Android works.

Have you fixed this yet cos mine does the same?
I had been having the same problems that everyone described: would suddenly die at 25% and wouldn't turn back on unless I gave it a charge for a bit and then held the power button down for a while.
For the last 2 weeks, I've been charging it only with the stock charger and that seems to have fixed it. Previously I would charge with any charger I had around.
Not sure if it's a permanent fix but it's working now (I've taken it down to 4% before charging it back up).

I only use the stock charger on mine but after this happened so often I tried another one and battery charged OK but then kept blipping from say 50% to 54%, went bed with it at 49% and this morning dead again. Charged it again today on stock charger and waiting to see what happens.
Sorry all for this bump.
I just got this same issue tonight on stock, unrooted nexus 7 16gb and I only use the stock charger, I let it die through battery and then when I charged it amend turned it on, all these problems happened.
One symptom that hasn't been mentioned is that the clock is set back to January 1st 1am.
I managed to get it to start without turning off by holding the power button until the Google logo showed twice, at the moment it's on but charging.
Hope this doesn't become a problem again in the future.

I recently started having the same problem with my 2 month old rooted Nexus 7 (wifi only) . It was dying at about 19% - 23% charge . Tried doing the battery recallibration at 100% charge, even wiped the device clean and flashed the Jellybean 4.2 factory image but it didn't work.
I talked with the ASUS service center guys to get it fixed, and created a sort of guest user so that I won't have to disconnect my accounts. After that my problem seems to have been fixed. I discharged it to about 4% and then put it to charge, it's charging properly now so I am hoping the problem has been fixed.
I am not sure whether this would work for everybody, but I guess it's worth a try.

Battery problem

Hi,
I have problem with in Jiayu S3 2GB. Under 50% battery drop to 0% in few minutes. Also battery doesnt last long , max 3 hours screen time and it is problem to use it whole day withnout charging, but normally screentime should be around 6 hours what i read.
I recived phone with Android 5.1 2015-06-23 tryed flashing newer version 2015-07-14, also tryed battery calibration, fully charging, discharging few times and still same.
When is fully charged voltage is 4,2V (measuded with app battery calibration) at 50% is only around 3,6V (this is almost 0 capacity for lion battery) and is turning off at 3,4V.
Have anybody simmilar problem? It looks battery is bad not just software problem, but dont understand that it is showing 50% for that low voltage.
Thank you

IF you are on lollipop then its software problem as 5.1 seem to have the battery bug, and never calibrate battery on MTK devices, Calibration apps mess up MTK phone,they are not made for mtk devices.
I recieved phone with defective battery, after changing it dont have any battery problem even with Lollipop.
I noticed that battery discharging very fast below 8% (Stock 4.4.4 13.08 and other KK versions)
Well, i had different problem
My phone didnt charge, no matter how much i change cables or chargers.
But when the device was shut down, charged well.
I bought mine from pandawill, so i sent them a mail,and they sent me another battery...
In the meantime, the problem had solved, maybe the battery calibration i did helped.
Anyway,i got now 2 batterys...

I also have the problem and have the following conclusions:
1. Battery level will be displayed correctly after a reboot. Otherwise, the battery level indicator doesn't change as quickly as it should: it doesn't go up as fast while charging and doesn't go down enough when in use.
2. The point where the battery indicator starts going down by about 5%/minute varies and is in connection with the time it has been used. After two days without charging and without using the phone for more than one or two phone calls, it happened at around 5%, while lots of screentime made it happen when the indicator was above 50%. Some experimenting made it clear that it's not the battery's fault (in my case, at least) but rather a software problem.
Using stock KK 4.4.4.

Hi,
I have problem with in Jiayu S3 2GB. Under 50% battery drop to 0% in few minutes. Also battery doesnt last long , max 3 hours screen time and it is problem to use it whole day withnout charging, but normally screentime should be around 6 hours what i read.
I recived phone with Android 5.1 2015-06-23 tryed flashing newer version 2015-07-14, also tryed battery calibration, fully charging, discharging few times and still same.
When is fully charged voltage is 4,2V (measuded with app battery calibration) at 50% is only around 3,6V (this is almost 0 capacity for lion battery) and is turning off at 3,4V.
Have anybody simmilar problem? It looks battery is bad not just software problem, but dont understand that it is showing 50% for that low voltage.
Thank you

Try to go battery settings and find out what application is eating your power.
Hi! I have this phone and few weeks ago I had a similar problem, when my phone had about 20%, it spend a lot of battery and in some minutes, it was without battery. I installed the Xtreme Rom and this was fixed. I hope you can fix your problem too with this.
Sorry for my bad english
Battery not charging when on - Solutions ?
Hi all,
My Jiayu will not charge when the fone is on, will only charge when switched off.
Any suggestions ?
Thanx Geoff
Known problem.
Saw it at my phone and in another phone.
How to solve: charge with original charger and cable and then switch to the other charger.
It worked for me twice.
Play it a little if its not working, switch cables,chargers, turn on and off...
Good luck.
