Help yet again.

Ok installed EB01. Everything's working no problem at all. Then I was looking at my battery icon. It was at 40-30 percent then all the sudden drops down to 10% it doesn't even try to hit 30-20 % etc. Is this a known bug or is there a fixed to this? I've tried wipe and battery wipe on the red clock work.I'm clueless what next to do. No task killer. Juice defender etc. Thx

You charged the phone 100% and then cleared battery stats?

Yes.

The fact that you are giving battery life ranges implies that you are judging by the stock battery graphic ib the upper right, which is remarkably misleading.
Install a better battery mod/theme or simply download OS Monitor and look at its Misc tab.
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.

Thx I'll do that.

Weird. Download battery % app. Phone battery icon is at full bar. But then app battery % is at 80% . That's weird. This a known bug to EB01 Stock dedoxed?

What I've noticed on some is that they yank the battery when it's full during a bat cycle based off of what the stock image on the upper right says. What is more then likely the case is that you wiped (or didn't wipe) the battery when it was actually at 100% so it reads at 100% when it really is at 80%. Best thing to do is charge the phone till the bat app says 100%, then wipe bat stats after letting it charge for an addl 10 min. Then full cycle the battery and charge again and report back.

battery falls

Hello everybody! I've installed all CyanogenMod (6 and 7) and every time battery drains fast!
Now i'm trying CM7 RC3 and charged to 100% at 18.15.
At 20.00 battery is 84%!
I've installed some software with 3g and Wi fI but I think is not regular.
Any ideas?
Thank you all.

Clear batt stats under recovery.

Done on 100% charge. Nothing changes. Do I wipe when charhe is 0?

With battery wipe and charging phone swtched off seems to be a little bit better. Yesterday I flashed new radio and firmware and battery goes to 29%. On phone reboot battery was 50 %! Now is 8 and am approaching to wipe battery near 0. Thank you for your comments.

This belongs in question and answers section.
You might be able to fix this by reconditioning your battery,otherwise your battery is just getting old

It could not be getting old I just got it last month

Thats how it is.
cm7 and miui have same problems, and its to save you from over charging, and thats some phones start heating up too much.
Don't worry about it, its for your own phones life.

Ok that's good to know and my phone charge extremely slow and sometime not at all but then I reboot and my battery life goes way up wat is that about
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

Thats because your phone is mis-reading your battery's charges.
a Re-condition would help phone re-read it more accurately, but idk how you'd do that since to re condition you have to charge till' 100% lol.

Will they change rom to make it 100 cuz I don't want to go back to 2.2 rom cm7 is to good

the CM7 your using is not OFFICIAL, so the problems your facing is up to the developer to solve, not the CM team because as far as i know, they haven't even supported CM7 for us fully yet.

it's just how cm7 is reading the battery. on one revision i would get a max of 95% then 97% on another. just recondition the battery after its been plugged in for while after hitting the 97%. worst case is you have to recondition your batter again after you flash another rom or it gets fixed.

Do you know what cm7 version they've used as a base for the vibrant version? The Nexus S does this by default, to protect the battery as others have mentioned.

YOU need to re-condition, YOU can fix it.
the people on MIUI or CM7 can't.

As stated its a known thing.
I used my Samsung Focus to charge a battery to 100 percent put it in my phone and it discharged to 95% then back up 97%. So the phone isnt charging the phone up all the way as it is. This is also good for the life of the battery and the battery will last longer. Also it gives and accurate reading. Sometimes with phones if it says 100 percent it is discharging thus you actually only have <95%.

I fixed the problem I just switched to best rom(trigger) then reconditioned and it charges perfect thanks for the help

This is by design and should occur on all Roms. Below is a link to a good Phandroid article tiled "Your Smartphone's Battery Gauge is Lying to You and its not Such a Bad Thing". It really does an excellent job with a fair amount of data explaining why your battery will only charge to 95 - 97%.
It boils down to three options:
The phone manufacturers essentially have three choices:
1. Use older charging styles which actually maintain a full battery, thereby decreasing its eventual life
2. Use new charging methods and have an accurate battery gauge
3. Use new charging methods and have the inaccurate battery gauge

RECONDITION.
I told you before everytime you flash a different rom, the battery is going to be different, so reconditioning is going to help you make it more accurate reading. brah.

I did I fully charge then wiped then drained recharge then wipe

You may need to do it a few times.
But since you are on a 2.2.1 rom... no need to worry, when it tells you its at 97% it's actually at 100, soon when you don't notice going from 1% to 2% will take more than regular time, it'll make up for the 3% somewhere along the lines

Ok ill let u know the results of this second try and do I have to recharge when phone off

Battery problems

I'm currently running cyanogenmod 7.however my battery percentage changes irregularly. It can be 50 then all of a suddejt jump to 30. Don't know what is going on.
Anyone have a solution. Cheers
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

do a full wipe and reflash the rom
charge to 100%
than use a battery calibration tool
see if it works
otherwise, full wipe and another rom

When I put the phone on charge the percentage doesn't increase however it shows the charging symbol

Juice Plotter
Try Juice Plotter to monitor your batter use over time.

Did you ever leave your phone in a very hot place such as inside your car?
I've had the same problem after leaving my DHD in my car in the blazing hot sun, and it cooked up the battery which stopped providing correct battery info to the phone.
I've replaced my battery and the problem solved

wrong sub section but in answer, my s2 done that all the time almost after flashing a rom.
could start off at 100%, flash a rom and itd be at say 25% then start building up again toward its correct %. no biggy, its kinda normal :good:

Wrong section to post this but this problem also happens on my s2, it is something wrong with the fuel gauge. Just do regular charging and discharging and it should return to normal.

Your battery has a problem. Cause of overcharging.

If you've flashed a new rom, often the history of battery values and voltages get messed up. So its not really sure what percentage of battery is left when the battery is at X volts for example. Usually a complete discharge followed by a full charge should recalibrate the battery monitoring.

Try a few complete charge cycles. Hopefully it should fix itself coz its not really uncommon.

you should download battery calibration app
