Turned on my Desire HD today and used CurrentWidget during the first charge, now its on 100%. But when should I calibrate the battery?
- Can I do it right away, or should I wait for the battery to be drained?
- Should I calibrate it with the phone being all new, or should I do it when I feel like the battery is getting worse? (Couple of months?)
I wouldnt recommend calibration until youve got at least a week of normal use under your belt or you wont see any kind of improvement
When u notice unusual battery drain u could try to calibrate it but a new phone shouldnt need it perse.

My wildfire s battery life is very bad.
When fully charged,the phone works for a long time without even 1% drop but when it goes down to 99% then battery began to discharge quickly.
Is there any way to solve this?
HTC is popular for having low battery life so it can't be blamed but
U can underclock it

solution
in my case, I left the phone to discharge and shut off completely. Then, with the last drop of battery juice, I powered it on into CWM recovery and went to advanced -> clear battery stats. Afterwards plug it and charge it to 100% (until the LED turns green), preferably with the phone off.
I know some say it's only a placebo effect, but in my case it makes my 806Mhz overclocked & automatic sync enabled phone to last around 35hours.
You dont want to empty battery in our wfs completely ever
Lition-ion batteries dont like full dischard and they tend to loose juice after that process
Good tip-never discharge your phone so you can't turn him on without charger
My battery life sucks, I think its the quality of HTC batterys, I need to go on eBay and buy a new one

my battery is doing the same, plus it never charges 100%, stops on about 90%, after few hours of charging it gets to about 91
I've never had any real problems with my battery life, but with the CM9 that I'm running as a daily at the moment, it just can hold up a long working day till I get home. Really annoying, but damn I like CM9 to much ! I hope that get's sorted quickly!

Agree with that,its quite correct.
Also guys try this...
-HTC checkin service apk...its a bigeest consumer next to wifi,cell,and display...amongst two top ones.
Do following:download rom toolbox or titanium backup or any similar app
here the links https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94Il0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
with this in app manager find that app...long press on it and choose FREEZE (u can unfreeze it later if you want)...also freeze the maps if not using them...etc...just DO NOT MESS with system apps if you dont know what you are doing.
I prefer Romtoolbox cause its all in one app...you can also wipe your battery stats from there as well...great app for root users...try it out
Hope i helped with giving some of you some ideas what can you do amongst other battery tips im sure you all know by now.
Enjoy
Battery calibration
if you use a custom rom you have to calibrate your battery with néma's battery calibration you can find it on the market .my battery last longer since i did it at any rom instalation
@Fikus011
I freezed those two apps with titanium backup.i wil report later about battery life.
Thanx for the info.
@TheKilLapops

Wiping battery stats does NOTHING.

Hi everybody!
i've got a little doubt about the battery calibration method and tool..so...i've done all the process(the one suggested by the user Ganymedes with the battery calibrator from the market) every time i flashed a new rom update(in this case the sandvold ICS),for calibrate the original 1400mAh desire battery,and also because my desire shutted down at around 15% battery remaining..and every time without any positive result..so i tried in many ways,and at the end i kept the battery as it comes out after all the times i tried to calibrate it...but now,i just bought a brand new high capacity mugen battery..the bigger one with 3200mAh,'cause the old one drained too fast..so,the question is..i've got to recalibrate the phone again,'cause i changed the battery?..i wish to precise that i haven't calibrated the battery after the last ROM update..so,what you think?'cause i read that the battery calibrator app will save and make permanent the battery stats..and i'm afraid that an old batterystats with the info from the stock battery is still saved..misreading the power of the new battery!
thanks for all the answers!
Is far as I know the calibration configuration is saved on the battery not on the rom.

So you need to calibrate it because you replaced the battery.
via xda app
Cycling the battery through one full charge and full dis-charge cycle should do the trick. I don't think a calibration tool will help much. Wiping battery stats is also useless.
Hi guys, I bought 2 batteries so I could play longer (info here)
I charged one and replace my original battery. At that moment my original battery was at 70%. I put the new battery and with shock I see that the battery level was 70%, the same level that my original SE battery.
I think battery level got stuck somehow. Is there a way to fix it or is a battery problem?
ADDED: while I was writing this post, my battery went from 70% to 80% without been connected to a USB cable or charger... extrange.
I think it has something to do with the battery stats not being tuned to the new battery. I wish I had more info for you, like how to reset the stats, but I can't recall on how to do it, as I have yet to do so myself lol. I just remember reading about it here at xda....maybe under accessories section.

Ye its not your battery thats screwed anyway just let ur battery drain then charge it to 100% & wipe stats, u can do so by searching for battery calibration app on playstore. It comes with instructions and is simple. It just deletes a file for batterystats inside data/misc I think ( I havent had to do it in a long time ).

Hi XDA,
I am pretty noob at forum posting so no hate
As we all know, the One X does not have a great battery, but, it enough to get a whole day, recently my battery starting playing up, Id have 20% left, and it would just keep turning off, as if it had no battery, I full charge it, and that seem to not occur again, Id listen to music for 20 minutes and Id loose about 8% charge, Im not using headphones, just earphones, now, im loosing 15-20% battery, id also loose battery with it in sleep, firstly I tried to wipe battery stats in CWM, and I loose 2% just from that!
All of that within a week, except for the 20% turn off thing.
It also seems to be a little warm around the camera, and a bit more below the camera.
Ive tried recalibrating using Battery Recalibration (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en)
Ive tried full charging after a full drain.
Nothing seems to be working.
Im running:
Rom - Viper 3.3.4
Kernel - The Viper Provided boot.img
Hboot - 1.36.0000
Any help is much appreciated
Ill provide what ever you want to see (screenshots etc)
Thanks
Re-calibrating battery doesn't do anything for battery life. It's a myth. Read up on that. Maybe your battery has become old, or overheated at some point and is now malfunctioning. Too much heat is bad for batteries and overheating has killed one of my Desire HD batteries too. They expand at the middle and also lose their capacity quite a bit i.e. they discharge faster.

Okay, That might be the issue, Thanks
Full Draining your battery is a bad idea..
As the One X has a Lithium Ion battery
and they dont like to be discharged very low
Last mouth my X.S have made 1 year of use.
But, recently, the battery was drained very fast...
about 30%over the night
and with a casual use, it lasts about 12 hours, with 3g on brightness on 25%
I use the 6.2.B.1.96.
I was wondering if this is something the OS is causing(which will need to reinstall the room or a custom one)?
or it is an natural aging of the battery.?
If it is the battery, i would buy a new one from ebay, you guys have some good seller to recomend?
I'm afraid that the seller send a fake one.
Thank you guys!
I would recommend you get Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats and find out if it's a rogue app draining your battery before you start looking for a hardware fix. Because if this is the case, you'll have bought a new battery only for it to have the same issues as the old one.
Power
I have found that a lot of the apps I use with push notifications really cause the drain, though flashing to a fresh build always seems to help too.
You could force calibaration
Fully charge the battery
And natruly let it die and turn off when it hits 0% and then put it on charge then leave for a few mins and then you should be able to power it up
