I have been using gingervillain for a few weeks now and just updated to 2.3. I have noticed a problem with the battery. When the battery runs down to 15% the phone powers down. After plugging in to charge the charging starts from 0%. I think the phone is misreading the battery stats (thinking there is 15% left when its actually empty). I have tried the battery calibration app but this doesn't solve the problem. Had anyone had this problem our know any solutions?
Cheers

You can wipe battery stats in recovery. They say its best to do it before flashing a rom, but worth a go for sure! The option is under "advanced" if I remember.
Cheers, will give that a try, I thought that was what the app I tried was supposed to do but will give it a go anyway. Thanks.
That seems to have done the trick. I wiped the stats in recovery them re flashed and it seems top have worked. Thanks for the help.

Hi! Before i have got a drain of 3-6 mA with most of the roms, but suddenly all roms dain 16-20 mA. No matter if it is MIUI , cm7 or sense roms. They all have the same drain .. is my battery bad ?
Got my phone waterdamaged 2 weeks ago , but this bad battery time started yesterday...
First you need to calibrate the battery.
Charge your phone until Current Widget shows 0mA. Then go into recovery and delete battery stats. Let the phone discharge until it shuts down by itself, then charge until it is back to 0mA. That will calibrate the battery.
Secondly, new ROM's do take a few days to "learn" how to use the battery most efficiently so you wont get the best battery life instantly.

I know that ROM´s need a few days , but i have waited a few days ,and noticed that it is allways the same drain... But i will try calibrate my battery next
And please make sure that during the period of charging it the second time that you do not take it off the charger. That will mess up the calibration and you will have to start all over again.
you might want to try a new radio too
same for me. I tried everything I could.
I tried these roms:
-coredroid
-ARHD
-honey
-virtuous
-MIUI(current)
I tried these methods:
-multiple new recommended radio + ril
-battery calibration app + clear battery stats(recovery) @ 100%.
-full wipe 1.5
-re-root(hack kit v12.3)
-different kernels
When I first rooted my phone battery was perfect on any roms until I flashed ARHD,thats when my battery drainage happened.

how many hours you are getting now....with regular usage ????
I'm getting the same here... Started with ARDH too, then LeeDroid, now Virtuous.
Clean installs each time, apps restored using Titanium. Also re-flashed the recommended Radios too and calibrated the battery once.
Current drain is 15% / hour on Standby ~70+mA.
I noticed no unusal Wake Locks either.
I'm loving Virtuous, but thinking to go back to stock if the new Viruous update doesn't solve this.
Just whilst typing this I lost 2% :-(
Yeah this is no fun...

okay so for the past weeks, i have been running the latest cyanogen rom nightly and i read about the script by puremotive that improves you battery life so i flashed it, everything was working wonderfully, noticed increased battery life but yesterday when i woke up my phone was off some how, so i turned it on and before i could even open an application it turns off. i mean like just turns off no bootloops whatsoever. When it turns off, if i have like full battery charge its drops down to 15%
so i was wondering is it my battery thats the problem or the phone?
and yes ive tried wiping everything and even flashed a different rom.

Ehhh it seems like its the battery, cause my phone only works when plugged into a charger
My phone was all fine, till i flashed Arco's CM10, then my phone started randomly switching off. When started, it showed 0% battery, which was weird as it was always properly charged.
Then i restored my CM9 backup, to check if it was a ROM bug, but I got the same error again.
Attached screenshot for battery stats. Battery problem or Software bug ? Anyone with same bug ?
After flashing the ROM, did you wipe battery stats? If not, that will probably be the cause of the weird readings......
Basically, over time, your phone would have calibrated the battery usage to your previous ROM....when you installed your new ROM (that has different battery usage patterns) your phone is still trying to apply the stats from the old ROM which is what is causing the problems.....wipe your battery stats then complete 3 or 4 full charge - full discharge cycles, and things *should* settle down....

Try the battery calibrator on the playstore.
If it still persist then the problem is in your battery.. suggest you change the battery with the new one
Pressing "Thanks" button will be much appreciated if user's posts useful for you
Or you can try this:
Clear battery stats via CWM. Turn off your phone, and charge it. Wait until the charge indicator shows up on screen. Then turn on your phone and leave it until it's full.
Sometimes when I get batt weird reading, that trick works for me.
In some occasion I found that offline charging and online charging shows different battery level.
when should i plug the cable if use ur trick?

Clear the battery stats first via cwm then turn off your phone after that you can plug in your charger.

Just like reddvilzz said above. After charge indicator shows up on screen, turn on your phone (but do not unplug the charge) and leave it until it's full.
Okay, I currently run CM10, about a week ago I flashed another developers version of CM10, and started having battery percentage reporting issues while charging, So I flashed back to the original ROM, formatted, cleaned battery stats and for some reason the battery will charge up to like 75-80% and stop reporting the correct percentage until I reboot the phone, even when back on the old ROM, I am using simonssimons34 ION kernel, which running it before with the old ROM, reported fine, so I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel.
I have almost always let this battery deplete to about 1-2% before a charge, and never over charged it, so I am a little annoyed that my battery stats are mis-reporting now until I reboot. Is there any fix for this? Or do I need to try another ROM or something? It only reports incorrectly while recharging, it depletes normally and never has issues with that.
This happens to me every day. Learn to live with it.

You can clear battery stats in recovery. There's also a few root apps that let you do this. (search for clear battery stats)
It'll take a while for it to rebuild accurate battery stats, but it sounds like at the moment any fresh stats is better than what you have now.
You can try calibrate with this app:

I've laready tried as both of you have suggested before, and it hasn't helped me yet, I did it two ways I did battery wipe in recovery, and through a 3rd party app, but the phone still wants to stop reporting the correct percentage until I reboot my phone.
And I even tried letting hte phone completely deplete after wiping battery stats, and it's still wonky ='(.
Ugh this is soooo annoying ffs, anyone ever had any luck on fixing this issue? I've tried:
Flashing two different ROM's, nothing
Charging, rebooting wiping stats, calibrating, draining to 0, rebooting, nothing
Using calibration apps
None of this has worked for me what so ever, the only thing that seems to work is rebooting after the phone has stopped reporting then it will show 99% then charged.
What I don't get is it will charge to 100% if the phones off, but if it's on the phone reports an incorrect percentage, wth?
I am about to try a full RUU reflash and see if that will fix it, but that's a last resort. HELP PLEASE!

Hi, Its simple Install Battery Calibration app from Play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=enand perform calibration. It will reset battery stats data. Reboot. Tell whether this has solved ur issue or not.

No need to wait till 100%. Press that and change it to calibrate any time. Now go ahead with calibration. All the best.
Battery Problem
Guys
I updated my GD to 4.4.4 CM11 and everything is working ok except for one detail.
I carry my cell phone and start using normal, if not shut down or restart, but if I turn off or restart
sometimes ends when rebooting the battery for example was 74% back to 39%.
This has happened to me a few times, i already reinstalled the ROM, calibrated the battery but the problem remains.
Do you have any experience or story about this behavior?
