I've noticed that since I upgraded to CM-101 (I'm now on 106) that my battery takes FOREVER to charge. For instance, last night I went to bed around 1am and put my phone on the wall charger it was on 17% and when I unplugged it at 9am it was only 67% charged.
I'm at work right now and I plugged my phone about two hours ago and it was at 50% - two hours later and it's at 64%. Before it would at least be at 80% by now.
I haven't installed anything that I would think affect this (no major notifications, etc..)

Check your wake time, it could be that your phone is staying awake and sucking up the juice that should be charging it. Also, does your battery die quickly? A possible culprit could be tango, it has a bug that doesn't allow the phone to sleep.

I'll check out watchdog lite and see what it tells me. It did it again last night. I plugged it in at 12:30am and was at 23% - this morning I woke up at 9am and it was only at 89%. I turned it off and left it charging another 15 minutes and it was up to 96% when I turned it back on. With light usage (20minutes using Music and checking email/SMS message a few times) it's now 11:42am and my battery is down to 51%. It hasn't been this bad in at least a couple of months.
The only that I did over the weekend out of the ordinary was use one of those AA powered portable-chargers that I bought at a drugstore because I was down to 16% and wasn't going to be near a charger all day/evening. Could that have messed something up with my battery?
Worst ever
Mine too!!! this is crazy!!! my O2X take forever to charge and this not my first smart phone... i had HD2, touch pro, desire... all HTC. The only thing is this samsung n dual-core... doesnt make sense!!! so far anybody has resolution for this? HELP!!!!
Same with mine. Did you guys do the OTA update? I did it to watch Green Hornet and it wasn't doing it before.
I plugged it in at 1am @ around 50-60% and woke up at 8am and it was only @ 88%!
I used the wall charger, so it should be getting 1 amp.
UPDATE:
f*cking duh! ooops, my bad! I was developing last night and left STAY AWAKE WHILE CHARGING enabled!

So a week ago I was having problems with my evo losing half of it's battery as soon as I unplugged it from my charger. So I redid the clear battery stats method and it now keeps its charge like it used to. But the last three days when I charge my phone over night (like always) it will only be around 87% when I wake up. Last night I turned it off and it charged turned off for 8 hours and it was at 89%. Could this have something to do with battery stats or is there something wrong with my phone? Thanks.

No. Either your battery is going bad or the charging mechanism malfunctioning.

Thanks for helping. The problem was my micro usb cable.
ok, over the last week or so ive had this issue, gradually getting worse...
my battery will charge to around 40-45% and then charging will slow right down.
two hours later, it will be on around 50% if im lucky, and about 3 more further hours before i hit 60% (this is some of the time, other times, it just remains on its current charge%)
if i leave it overnight for about 10hours or so, highest it goes to now is about 73%, but this is rare, usually 45-50%ish.
ive tested with htc ac wall charger, htc usb, blackberry charger, car charger and a random microusb wallcharger. all have same issue.
when tested with two friends desire hd's on different days, my battery charged perfectly, and at the normal gradient speed over the % range. and my phone reads it correctly at the 100%-98% when back in my phone after change back.
i thought it was down to my phone, just dont know if its rom or hardware. shud i factory restore, or claim on insurance?
i have another issue here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18480603&posted=1#post18480603
which also applies to the question of restore or insurance...
thanks
What Rom are you using, i am using runny 2.2 only 62% charge in 6 hours
9 hours later on battery only upto 68% i have amazing battery life now
i'm using runny 2.2.....left it on charge for 2 hours with phone on, but wifi and everything off and it had only gone up 2% ! !
Turned phone off and plugged in charger, 30 mins later, only went up 1% ! !
72% charge at this point.
So took it off charge, put it in my pocket, went upstairs to bed, turned it on to set alarm and it said 100% on battery....weird!!

Lol this is an issue with calibration. The battery is charging but the software doesnt report it.
You have to charge the phone for as long as possible so you know it is on 100% whether the software says it or not, go into CWM, wipe the battery stats and then let the battery drain fully until it shuts down by itself. Then plug it in and leave it until you know for certain it is at 100%. If the green light comes on leave it for an additional half an hour. Then it will be fixed.
ive only recently got this handset, as last one was replaced on insurance a month or so ago, and its runuing on stock rom with latest updates....?
Is there a preferred battery charging regimen for the One X battery?
That is, is it better to, say, always let it drop to 15% and then recharge to 100%, or can/should I charge whenever possible, or in smaller increments?
Also, are there disadvantages to using the phone while charging (as I tend to do quite a lot )?
Thanks!
i normally let mine down to about 10% then just charge it too 100%

Right, but do you know if this is actually the way to go with the Li-Po battery or are you, like me, just winging it?
When i first got my phone i let it run down till it asked for the charger, then left it on charge over night.
I did this for the first 3 or 4 times as i found this yields the longest battery life, since then i charge every 2 days regardless what percentage is left always over night though.
Going to leave it tonight & see if it will go till tomorrow night, its been off charge since 7am on Friday morning so far & is still on 46% a total of 39 hours so far.

You get two days on a charge? Are you a wizard? Although, having just got the phone (and possessing the patience of a 5 year old), I've done a lot of start-stop charging, which I suspect isn't optimal.
I'll try to refrain from trickle charging for a while, see how much difference it makes. Thanks.
Another battery charging thread? Just plug in the damn phone! It will take care of the rest.

I have noticed that the battery does drain in strange amounts.
I have my wifi & gps on constantly, my phone went for 2 days 5 hours & i received a text at which point the phone was at 34% battery.
The phone was put back in stand by & the phone went totally flat in the next 4 hours, this i find strange as over night in stand by it only uses 1 - 2%.
There is obviously a bug in the way the phone reports its battery state, by my reasoning this must be some 10 - 15% lower than what it is reporting.
It does seem to have some difficulties reading the battery level correctly. I've noted a couple of times that it shows a significantly higher charge level (+5-7%) after a reboot. Which is hardly likely to recharge the battery. (Unless I got me one of those perpetuum mobile, in which case, yay!)
running the 2/16 release of CM11, battery meter is acting funky, but battery life seems normal. I have no idea if it started with CM11 install or just out of the blue. couple week ago after 13 hours of running on battery I noticed the meter still said 100%, then about an hour later it said 52%, and 30 seconds later 12%, battery low warning, and 15 seconds later it did a clean power off. plugged in, powered off charging said 9%, and was 52% again in about 30 seconds.
battery still lasts all day, but I have no idea how drained it is until about an hour before it's dead. it also won't actually charge unless the meter says it's below 100%, but plugged in it also doesn't drain it more. using an app to monitor the battery, it rarely shows above 3850mv, and will hover there all day long going up and down 300mV or so, but then late in the day it'll break from 100% around 3700mv and the % starts dropping.
so, what's going on here?
so, left on charger overnight (as I do every night), status app said USB power on but discharging. came to work, plugged it in (as I sometimes do), battery said 100%, again USB power and discharging.
unplugged to go to lunch, 54%. sat down to eat, 65%. few minutes later, 70%. from there it started dropping at a normal rate. used it heavily all through lunch, only went to 58%, and seems to be charging normally now as well. I'm so confused... it's been wrong for at least 2 weeks strait through multiple charges and reboots.
What about 'calibrating' the battery?
if it does it again I'll to find time to drain it and then fully charge it powered off, but with an inaccurate reading of what the charge is it was very difficult to fit that into my schedule.
it seems to have calibrated itself now, as it's been fine all weekend.
so the questions is now: what caused it, and why did it fix itself some weeks later? I certainly didn't do anything anywhere near a calibration cycle.
Hi everyone,
My G3 (D851 T-mo, not that it likely matters) yesterday shut off dead at about 40% battery reported as remaining. I was early to a movie and fired up Angry Birds 2 to kill the time. Just as I was about to start playing the phone went black. Tried turning it on, nothing at all happened. I had noticed the battery was at 41% just a minute or two before. Usually this means I have PLENTY of juice left.
After the movie I tried turning on the phone; again no response at all. Pulled the battery, replaced it, still nothing.
I got to my car and plugged it in to charge on the way home. After a moment the screen came on and gave the "powered off charging" screen showing 71% battery remaining. Huh. 71% ?
I was driving for about 10 minutes, got home, and plugged it into a wall charger. At this point the phone (still powered off) reported 51% charged.
Shortly thereafter, I booted the phone up and it reported 55% charged on the usual battery % notification.
I charged it to completion, and all seems normal, but I'm worried about it dying again at ~40%. I frequently run the phone down to 15-20% before charging in the normal course of events. Is there some battery calibration I should run? Or, is it time to get a new battery (and if so, any recommendations...)?
