To wipe your battery stats you boot into recovery and look for wipe. Wipe battery stats its an option there
4 hours total then dead? That seems very unlikely.
we've been discussing this in this thread.

hope this helps.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming you wipe when switching from Sense roms to AOSP roms. But just it case, it's a good idea to wipe before each flash.
The thing I don't get is, is factory reset wipe includes battery wipe and cache wipe and dalvek cache wipe, or are they all separate?
Do I have to wipe battery stats?
Does the superwipe do the factory reset + cache + dalvik cache wipe?

Correct, but it usually isn't required to wipe between different versions of the same rom. I don't ever wipe before upgrading to a new CM7 Nightly Rom. I will, form time to time, format the cache partition.

I'm not exactly sure, but when I did a factory reset from the bootloader on my semi-bricked phone, it installed a stock rom(i think) and un-rooted the bootloader(s was turned on). I think the factory reset on CWM and 4ext just format all the partitions of the phone.

This is only needed if you are going to a different rom. Charge your phone to 100% but keep it in for an extra half hour, then clear battery stats, then run it all the way down without plugging it in until it auto shuts off.

I'm not sure, you might want to check the superwipe thread.
I'm fairly certain superwipe wipes everything except the SD card.

I have learned the hard way that it is never a good idea to run lithium batteries "all the way" down - that is the fastest battery killer I know.
I have researched this extensively online, and from my own experience, you won't catch my battery below 20%
perfectly accurate battery stats are not worth prematurely killing batteries!!

Not exactly.
I have run every superwipe, superwipe+, superwipe+ext4, etc, etc. that I can get my hands on, and nothing seem to erase my custom splash screen (which is a good thing)
apparently superwipe type programs must leave partition 19 alone!

why not just use 4EXT recovery? - it is better than CWM and it gives you a cool handy set of check boxes for whether you want factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe EFS, wipe battery stats etc. so you can tick as many of those as like!
I have almost tried ALL the ICS custom roms. Besides the default, T-Mo ICS rom, none of the other custom ICS roms that is based on 4.0.3 UVLE1, does not shutdown or reboot.......it just sits there.
All the instructions that I came across refers to 'Cache, Dalvick Cache and Permissions reset" - but this does not make a difference.
Even the software apps available to reboot.poweroff, does not work anymore.
Any ideas? Am I missing something?
It almost seems like something was messed up somewhere and all the ROM mods are based on that?
Thanks
Have you tried that Darkside Cache Wipe? it usually clears up that problem.

What recovery are you running? Have you tried the darkside super cache wipe? Cwmr 5.0.2.7 (i believe that's the version) the hard recovery doesn't clear caches correctly. Never had a problem with with ics roms not rebooting or power issues, been running cm9 stable since release and haven't had a problem.

Yes. I used the Darkside Cache wipe everytime before I flash the ROMs, This is my process:
Backup, wipe data, Wipe cache, ADvanced+wipe Dalvic, mount+Format /system, flash Darkside EXT4 wipe, Flash Darkside Cache wipe,
Flash rom, reboot, let is sit 10mins, reboot (well hold power in for 10seconds until it buzz and then boot up)
Afterwards powerbutton brings up menu, it even brings up the T-Mobile shutdown logo (if the rom has it) and just sits there......FOREVER.
I have even reflashed the Darkside Cache wipe - still the same.
I'm on CWM Touch recovery 6.0.1.1
Very annoying.

Yeah, that is very annoying. Have you looked into the potential that it could be a kernel issue? And also, have you flashed back to stock and done completely clean install without resorting data to anything?

I'll flash back to stock this evening when I get back home and see how it goes.....will report back.

PS. I normally ONLY restore my apps-data - NO system data accept SMS/MMS & Bookmarks - that's all system data I EVER restore.
But I'll try the 'back to stock' and report back.

I was having the same problem. The ds scripts did not fix it for me. I also tried updating cwm5.0.2.7 to cwm 6.x. still it did not work. Tried using ROM toolbox pro, titanium backup pro and ROM manager, they would all freeze while trying to power off the phone or trying to reboot to recovery. Finally I flashed twrp2.2, that has seem to fixed it.

Don't use CWM to wipe cache at all.
1. Flash super wipe
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash cache wipe
4. Reboot
5. Let sit for 10 mins
6. Reboot
Follow those steps and you will have no problems.

Honestly, I don't see the point of wiping cache after a fresh install. Unless I'm mistaken, there is no cache yet? I do that except no cache wipe after flash ROM. With Darkside in particular, it installs apps during the first boot up. Of yet to have out of the norm issues.

Must do something because the only way my reboot and power off will work is if I flash the cache wipe after the rom.

You need to flash the cache wipe after flashing and rebooting

I must be the only one with this issue when i use superwipe for some odd reason my phone will not boot unless i do a cwm recovery no matter what i do. i am not too sure why this happes, and btw i am stock...., but it does and i cannot figure it out i am scared to use it. The only other way i was able to get my phone to boot past the quick load up bar which it stops at about 90% for some odd reason is if i do a nandroid restore...any reason why this happens???
You're supposed to use the darkside cache script after flashing the rom and after flashing any other mods and themes, but I have also notice that the script does not work correctly when using twrp. So when using twrp clear the caches and fix permissions with the options in recovery after the rom.
Bert, dont use that cache wipe again.. i think it depends on the phone or something. After i use that cache wipe zip, the phone is STUCK on goodbye. Does not reboot correctly after that.. i have to battery pull. If your phone hangs "normal" time length, put it in your pocket meanwhile.. who cares, **** happens.. no dev is perfect. Thats why theres so many updates all around..
try remove everything from yr phone, sd, sim, battery, use different ones if possible. format emmc etc..... am i being unclear？ nvm, recovering from a bad cold.

Why are you pulling the battery? If for any reason the phone does get stuck all you have to do is hold down the power button for about 10 seconds for it to reboot. All you're gonna get pulling the battery so much is probably a broken back cover from removing it so much, only time you should pull the battery is if the phone isn't responding even to the power button or stuck in a boot loop where holding power til it reboots and then immediately holding down both volume rockers to get into recovery doesn't work.

Yes i even did factory reset and system wipe
Okay, I will install an update to my custom ROM in recovery, so I wiped cache and dalvik and installed the update. I just want to know if it will affect the battery stat/cache by wiping the cache and dalvik?

Jm!
Not sure, but I think it does affect the battery and wiping the Dalvik cache because when (sorry for my english) I apply it, my battery goes very fast and with time and use the term returns.

The only way to affect battery stats is by doing a battery calibration, using the app or a recovery that supports it, or by flashing an update which replaces the actual "battery file", which I forgot the name...
