any got this problem regarding led light turnign green before it was charged to 100%?
Which build of Android and Kernel you are using? And what battery? Stock 1230 mAh or higher capacity? I had a similar problem too. New kernel resolved this problem for me. Try m-deejay builds wit his OC S5 or S6
Try this, maybe it will solve your problem.
Wipe Battery Stats
Hi all,
I am facing sudden battery drops using the phone & sudden battery hikes while charging.
Attached are the pictures.
What can be the reason for this.
Present rom details are attached.
I have tried out recalibration via battery calibrator application & via recovery.
Still drops randomly.
Any solutions for this?
Can you specify, Which device you have, i mean Defy Red, Green or Defy Plus and is it from Eppy's or Quarx build??
battery hardware problem. i had the same issue. now i have a new battery and the problem is gone. so its hardware.

We can see a pattern in Drops.. it always drops on some specific Roms and usual drops is between 60%-40% .. We Just need to collect the info. for the Bug.. I am pretty sure that battery drops are experienced only for those who are using GB builds on Red Lens Defy and also who flash Battery Fix.
Calibrate it ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
sometimes starting flashing again from sbf..
and installing evrything again works very well.
try it maybe it will wrk for u..
I have a bug in battery reading...it falls from 30% to 20% suddenly ...my defy build is cm 7.2 skanky-jordan with the last 7/11 updated build..
any way to solve this problem ? thanks
OK, so here's my issue: I have a red lense defy that has BL7 on it (I understand it can't be downgraded). I have followed a couple of the rooting methods and I am able to obtain root. My problem is that no matter what custom ROM I install (I've tried most all of them) I can't get my battery to hold a charge. The battery drains dry in about 8 hours with no data, no wifi, no gps or any other activity. I've put the battery in my green lense defy and ruled out it being a bad battery because it works fine in that Defy. I was told that since I have BL7 I have to use Defy+ roms and I think thats killing the battery since I believe the Defy+ comes with a different battery.I have the BF5X 1500mAh battery and have tried all the battery fixes I can find. I tried Quarx's custom kernel along with CM ROM's (both Quarx & Epsylon), MS Ginger, CodeNameAndroid, Slim Bean and so many others but all with the same result. Battery completely dead in under 8 hours.I have tried messing with the overclocking, governers, screen brightness, wiping battery stats, battery calibration and all the other settings that one would think could affect battery life but no luck. So I'm asking for help or suggestions. Any ideas? If any dev's see this, I am completely willing to try or test anything since the phone is no good to me like this. I would really appreciate any suggestions or input. I'd really like to get this phone working right but I have run out of ideas. Help please.
Well, the fact you have BL7 MB526 ROM is not an issue of your red defy.
Would be good if you post screenshots of battery usage stats (both, 1st after clicking on battery usage, 2nd after clicking on diagram)
Also - do you have exactly the same baseband in both defies - required for comparison of battery life? (Improper baseband can cause huge drain)
Other proposal is trying CM7.2 by Maniac for defy+ - my red lense with defy+ stock ROM takes ca 2% during 7h in the night (2G, all the rest off)

Sorry for the delayed response...I use the same baseband for both and the battery usage stats show the screen uses all the battery. That makes no sense since I've reduced brightness by half and the screen turns off after only 15 sec. of idle. I've basically given up on the red lense defy. Its the same result no matter which ROM I flash so there must be something wrong with the handset itself.
I also have a green lense Defy running MIUI 2.4.2, Android 2.3.7, kernel 2.3.32.9.. Can I flash CM10 over that without having to use sbf? I want to be able to return to MIUI if there's any problems because the green lense is my day to day phone and any time I've encountered problems it seems to be after changing sbf. Thanks again for any help.

But could you post both screenshots after few hours?

Here's the screenshots. Not sure if its what you were asking for.
Anybody have an opinion about my green lense Defy? Would like to try CM10 on it.

Now it was what I asked for. It is really too much for the display (if it is true)
Just to check it try to keep the screen on for an hour (make it in settings) - the battery shall be drained totally then. Send the screenshots again.
Two notes:
Do you really need wifi always on when screen is off? (wifi settings)
Do you really need to keep the unit awaken so much when screen is off?
Concerning green defy - no problem for CM10. But if it's BL4 ensure then to be it froyo 2.2.2 and not a lower version
Thanks for the input. I'll try that with the screen and post screenshots later. I changed the wifi settings but i'm not sure what you mean about keeping the unit awake. What settings would I find that in?
For the green lense, I thought there was a tool for checking bootloader version floating around the forum somewhere but cant seem to find it. The phone has been running MIUI for a long time and I have no idea what sbf was flashed back then. Is there a good, easy (for a noob) way of checking the Bootloader version? Thanks again for all your help, I'll post screenshots later.
Here's the new screenshots.

Concerning screenshoys - as you can see it does not look so bad and it is not a screen that drains the battery. Ca 15% down after almost 2h with a screen on and wifi too is nearly a standard.
You need a battery fix to get 100% (suppose you don't right now) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1241322&d=1344093287
You can see in your 2nd screenshots that your unit is awaken a lot (mine for example much often goes to sleep) - it can be caused by some user apps - as an example is an official facebook app which works in a background nearly all the time
Here is BL checking tool in OP, Suppose in post #309 of this thread you will find 'a manual'
Is there anyway to get a battery light while charging like on cyanogenmod while running stock rom?
I believe lightflow has that feature. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rageconsulting.android.lightflow&hl=en
