After I clear my battery stats and let my phone run down. If I use a second battery in the phone and recharge the run down battery in my external charger will it kill the process of resetting. Also if I just recharge the run down battery in the phone, and latter use one of my spare batteries will this also kill the reset process? I have been confused about this and want to do it right.
Thx
Can anyone help with this?

Since you dont want to root then youre limited to just calibrating your battery. That drop is pretty much normal because the phone doesnt charge it fully to keep the battery safe and make it last linger. Li-ion batteries can be unstable beimg fully maxxed out charged . Short answer all you,can do is calibrate. But root your phone. You don't need to update your phone. Just update as the dev of your rom does... We gave new trickle charge kernels that add around an hour of battery life. And they fully charge your battery too.check out my guide in my signature to explain more about SBC kernels.

Here is an email from HTC themselves on how to get better battery life.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712990
If you dont want to read it, here is what they said: " To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well."
I finally got fed up with my battery on my EVO (lost its ability to hold charge for a long time) I went and bought a new one. My question is what is the correct way to break this new battery in so I get maximum battery life. I am still on my old battery and am hoping I can get an answer from someone. Thanks in advance.

I got it, never mind.
Just use it like any other battery, there is no special battery. They can only hold to a certain amount and stops. You just have to use the right kernel and see if your phone likes it. No other way I think. After you flash a Rom just wipe bat stats and calibrate it once it reaches 100%. Hope that helps.

Yep, no need to "break in" a lithium ion battery. Just charge it all the way the first time you use it.
I found this on another thread and thought it might be helpful, the battery stats posted with it were pretty phenomenal too......

All people experiencing bad battery life....after flashing a new ROM or kernel should follow these steps.
1. Charge battery to 100%
2. Unplug go in recovery and wipe battery stats.
3. Plug in and charge to 100% again
4. Unplug use and enjoy your device until it dies!
5. Plug it in charge to 100%....your battery is now calibrated.
6. REMEMBER after flashing a ROM or kernel it could take a few days for it to settle!
Do you know where the thanks button is?? If so please hit mine if I've helped you!
That's the key.....2 to 3 charging cycles, you can't make a determination untill after that period. And of course there will be some of you who still don't get great battery life with anthrax, but that's the way it is. Same as when someone's phone runs great on x kernel, but it sucks on mine. This a pic of my battery life on anthrax, its pretty good."
I need to figure out exactly what's causing this battery drain. At 7PM my battery was at 100% after installing a new radio+kernel combo. I also calibrated my battery using a method I read in the Calkulin thread for his ROM. The method was as follows: After installing a new radio, rom or kernel charge the battery to 100% then physically take the battery out for 3 minutes. Boot into recovery then wipe the battery stats and dalvik cache 3 times each. Boot into Android then charge to 100%. Download a battery calibration tool use that and discharge. Anyway, I did all of this and was done by 7PM. After light use...listening to a few songs via google music...did a search using 3g...nothing too heavy. By 8:23 my battery was down to 76%. I thought this was pretty abnormal so I downloaded some extra battery tools and app watcher tools to see exactly was draining me so bad. Over the course of about 1:30 hours my battery dropped from 76% to 46%. I froze some non essential apps after checking up on them with watchdog (social hub, yahoo finance, tts service and accuweather). Decided to do a restart to see if that would help and my battery read 17%. I just noticed that it went up to 18% and it's holding steady but this is really weird...I honestly don't know what's going on and I could really use some assistance with this issue.
I forgot to post stats for the past few hours. Before I started the battery drain quest the Battery Monitor Widget said that the estimated was around -280mA. Over the course of a few hours it ranged from that to well over -600mA. After the restart it dropped to like -2mA but now it's back up in between the -400mA to -700mA range. It's slowly dropping as I type but there's no way that this is normal.
Sometimes when doing reboots messes up the battery reading. Its done that to me before. I have noticed that on ics when I flash a kernel and modem it takes me like a full day to get good battery. After I flash it my battery is pretty bad. Search for an appstore called bettery battery stats. Its on here at xda somewhere. Use that to see if your phone is sleeping properly or if an app is wakelocking your phone. Also it depends on who u ask but wiping battery stats does absoutley nothing for me. Its been said before that it doesn't work. Hope u get it straightened out.

thanks for the response. I've downloaded the battery stat app but I need to read up more on it to find out what the program is telling me. In your opinion what is good battery drain? I was on facebook for a second and it skyrocketed to high -600's but now it's down to about -90mA and dropping by just sitting in front of me.

Clearing battery stats does work to wipe any info the os has on the battery. Just check your battery graph in settings, boot to cwm, wipe battery stats, then look at that graph again.
I know you know your fair share of info, so no disrespect man...

I think he meant wiping does nothing to actually effect the life of the battery... Which, I agree. I've never seen any benefits when I've done it on my ET our my Moment.
Wiping just resets the OS's experience with the battery. Using your phone normally for 24 hours had the exact same effect.

things were looking up as far as battery life goes. i got rid of some programs that were hogging the cpu and i was almost to around 12 hours on a single charge with light use. however, i did a reboot at around 6pm and my battery read 45% before hand. after the reboot it read 10%. do you think it has something to do with the kernel? this is the second time a reboot has jacked up my battery.
Guys
I have been having the same problem and try lots of things but what I did not try and just found out is that my phone has a 1500mHa instead off a 1800mHa Sprint store made a mistake and placed the wrong battery inside my phone.
Maybe some of the problems you guys are having is due to that fact.
Besides opening the phone there are several app that will actually tell you which battery you have I.E. Battery Monitor
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
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
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
I had already use battery calibration

Hello guys...I am new to this community as i recently registered to XDA...but i know maybe a bit about our phone Galaxy W GT-i8150....That could prove useful to Starters......
Now...mostly Users have problems with battery when they flash new ROMS....the reason is....their battery stats...for example if a person flashed a new ROM with 60% of battery....the phone will detect 60% as 100% and battery will drain quickly.....but You guys don't need to worry as i have found some ways to rectify this problem....Battery Callibration...yes u need to callibrate your battery in order to get long lasting batteries....there are some ways of doing it...most easy is through an app found in play store....Battery Callibration by NéMa...you just need to charge ur phone at 100%....and go to app and click 'Callibrate' (with charger plugged on!) ...and this will reset ur battery stats....it is recommended (not necessary) to drain out all the battery after callibration and Charge ur phone from 0% to 100% without a gap....
As i am a newbie...so i cannot post outside links...however if anyone needs to get more of it...he/she can PM me at any time and i ll try my best to help...!
I hope this post would prove useful to all of you.....! :good:
I have that app. Never really used it lol what happens if I calibrated it like a 50 wouldn't that mess it up?? So technically it is necessary.. idk lol I'm def no noob but I don't quite understand this app. Batt life seems the same after I calibrate battery (last time I tried)
Anymore info!!?!?!?!

You shouldn't uncharge your battery to 0%.
For calibrate your battery just charge it to 100%, shut down your phone, let it charge to 100% again, go to CWM, advanced, wipe battery stats, before wipe unplug USB cable.
I realize that..I'm just confused about this battery calibration. Doesn't make a difference for me..and yes I agree I never fully discharge me phone. Bad idea
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I don't know about the ROMs the op flashes, but if my battery is at 50% when I flash a new ROM it doesn't go to 100% more like between 47-50%.
Besides the fact that battery calibration has been explained away as a myth, I can also state "calibrating" battery has never increased my battery life.

Do you mean that using all of your battery (till 0% when the phone automatically turns off) is a bad idea?
Why?
Thanks

Yes, it's bad idea, because you have a Lithium-ion battery which as no memory effect.

Actually this app wipes your battery stats and makes a fresh copy of them...

Well i wrote that for those users who have flashed stock rom and dont have or want CWM recovery...moreover it's just recommended...
And me and other users have experienced that the more roms we flash...the more battery life decreases....anyway if there is a better way...please do let me know...
