the problem can be the battery, even if it's a new one.
I tried two other batteries, and the problem had continued.
I think the other ones was fake/old batteries, but sold as original and new.

Thanks for the help, the problem is solved, I just had to do full sbf install for 3 times. Now my mobile is on for about 26 hours using the new battery. (On 4.2.2)
Maybe I had problems both with the old battery and the battery files on the ROMs.

I have been experiencing similar battery problems running Whiterabbit 2.1.1 on my Green lens Defy Mb525. Which 4.2.2 ROM are you using Jinx? If I flash a new ROM and recalibrate the battery is that likely to fix it? I'm guessing sbf install is the same as a full factory reset. (forgive me, I'm a beginner when it comes to all this!) How come you needed to reinstall 3 times?

I don't know, what solved my problem, but the fact is that I reinstalled the sbf three times than updated to Quarx's latest 4.2.2 nightly than I got it right.
My phone just run out of power after 3 days 4 hours. Good luck!

Thanks for taking the time to reply Jinx.
3 days is excellent! I flashed sbf twice, had some trouble running Jellybean ROMs without serious lag, so am currently reverting back to 7.2, running 'Cyanmobile experience'. It runs smoothly, but still encountering the battery drops, so its somewhat of a mystery!
I'll keep experimenting.
I have a spare battery, and an external wall charger. Currently swapping between the two to last through the day with enough juice!

Somehow, even for me, after 3 sbf flashes, CM10 is really smooth and there are no problems so far. Oddly, after the second sbf flash, CM10 was quite laggy.

I bought my brand New defy in October 2012. I've had huge battery drops ever since I jumped onto the CM10 bandwagon from this February. How's that possible?

This might help if you hold the power for a long time it should power on, if you have warranty you could send it in? Good luck........

Leave it charging for a good couple hours. It sounds like you really run it dry. And when in bootloader... You can literally run it dry. Always charge around 5% I would say.

A lot of people are having a problem with the battery wire. Kind of a longshot , but if you open it up, the cord to the battery might be loose. I would look it up a bit more but a ton of users are having that issue.

[Q] Red LED dead battery?

I have now tried to find a solution to this in the forum but every thead I look through seem to have the LED blinking fast 3 times.
My problem is:
I updated to 4.3 yesterday. I was running stock with root and CWM recovery.
During the night something happened while the charger was pluged in. When I woke up the phone would not turn on and when I connect my charger the LED is constant red. I search around the forum and google and tried to keep the charger pluged in for 2 hours. Nothing happened. Then I read that the battery connector might be the problem and disconnected/connected it again. This did nothing ether.
Is this a sign that the battery is dead? Is there anyhting else I can try?
I dont want to order a new battery before I know that is the problem. Could it be somthing else?
Hope you can help!

Then I really don't know man sorry.
I bump this thread though so someone will help you.
Good luck fixing it!

so a voltmeter detects the battery alright?
if you get a red light while pluged in then it must be the battery, cannot charge the battery or show charging animation or boot at all.
scary knowing that I charge my phone during the night.

nope...
ours is a 2600mAh battery,
and taking 3-4 hours to charge this battery is quite normal when input current is 3.7v

Takes 2 - 3 hours. Depends on at what percents did you start to charge it.

Wont charge beyond 94%
My phone (Grand 2) takes 3-4 hours to charge up to 92-94%, but will never reach 100%. It will be stuck anywhere between 92-94% :crying:
I tried restarting the phone whenever the charging is stuck, but no use. But if I remove the battery and re-insert it, I could see a progress in charging and it finally reaches 100%. So, I thought a phone reset may help, but again, no luck.
Any suggestion is really appreciated.
Thanks!

Check your charger. If the output is 1 Ampere, it should not get stuck at 94%. If it is 0.7A, it will struggle at 94%.
Click on thanks if you think I helped.

i had the same problem today. i started charging from 2% and it took 5hrs to reach 92%. then i kept the charger plugged in for another 1hr bt i saw only 1% increased.bt pulling off the battery and putting it back helped to reach 100% within another 15mins. and i checked the charger.its showing the output current to be 1A . wht should i do? is it a problem?

Are you guys using DU Battery Saver? It sometimes makes my phone charge fast at those late stages (90-100%) maybe it might help!
