[Q] Shoot Down at 15% - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people
I have a problem with my Desire
It shoot down with still 15% battery level
What should I do because I need long battery
Many thanks in advance for your help

The problem could be that your battery is not calibrated. Download the Battery Calibration app from the market and follow the instructions within. That should do the job.

If it doesn't help then your battery is faulty.

CurrentWidget with a no-rooted phone

Hello!
I saw the guide "Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain".
Can I use this solution to enlarge my battery life on my no-rooted phone?
Thanks!
Not really because you can't calibrate the battery or flash a new radio.
You can monitor your processes though.

Have you tried re-calibrating your battery?

Is it in your status bar that it shows the incorrect value?
Try going to Settings > About Phone > Status
It should tell you the correct value there. If it still shows up as the incorrect value i believe it could be a problem with your actual battery.

In your case, you don't need an app for calibration. Since you can't get your phone to show correct status, reboot into Recovery, go to Advanced and Wipe Battery Stats. Reboot phone, Run Wifi, Bluetooth, Torch, Music and anything that could drain battery faster altogether until the battery runs down and switches itsef off. Try recharging and see the result.
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
Thank u so much to all of u..
I,ll do it and see the results.. :beer:

Sounds like your one of the many people with this fault, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26658803, I haven't come across a quick fix for it either.

This is strange... Changing the battery is not an option as it works well... Have you tried flashing another ROM?
If I may ask, did this battery issue started when you flashed CM7?

Its happened to quite a few people since I've been around this forum, dont think anyone has pinned down a particular reason for it happening and the only explanation from HTC is that its a mobo fault........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
May be its a mobo fault but this is truth that I am facing this issue after flashing cm7.2..!
I have been told this rom working almost perfactly and such a nice and smoother one but before I was used Sunabh Rom v.1.1 by Vibhus which is also nice rom and had never facing issue like this on my previous rom..

Try revert to your previous ROM and see if your battery shows its true status.
Its not yet possible.. I have been delete nandroid backup of my previou rom

i have been experiencing the same problem with the battery .. doesn't seem to get past the 70% mark. I started noticing this few weeks into using CM7 ( currently using CM7.2 RC3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698029 the issue still remains) At first i found out that if i reboot my phone after putting it to charge , it would charge all the way to 100 %. But slowly that too started fading and now nothing i do gets it above 70%. even got a new battery to no avail, and i cant get more than 5 to 6 hrs with the battery .. the battery drain is incredible
am i using an incorrect kernel or something ?? any help is appreciated .. thanks in advance !
My opinion is its something to do with your phone itself, if it was software/kernel related we would all most likely get the same problem as we are all using the same piece of software.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I too have this problem mine does not charge beyond 79% sometimes 75%. With my experience this is too do with the kernel that CM7 uses. If I restart the device it will show 100%.
If I go back to the stock kernel the charging goes all the way to 100%.
Either my charger has broken or its the overclock-able kernel.
I have tried every other method out there.
The battery performance is good BTW.

Battery status jumps from 70 to 100 ??

My Desire battery while charging the status jumps from 70 % to 100% immediately.
I have been using battery calibrator application.
If the battery is fully charged, my desire turns off at 30%. That means in anyway my desire only uses 70% of the battery.
:cryingls help me
try this
Charge till full when powered on
power off
charge till full again
boot into recovery
wipe battery stats
boot and continue to use as normal
Thanx... Will try this...

Did u do the guide i posted? All those battery calibrate apps do is wipe the battery stats, and thats not how to calibrate a battery

Sorry.. I missed the last step in my previous post. Allow the battery to drain completely before charging again..
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
yh, in the app once u check the boxes in settings and set the values in learn prep, turn on learn mode and drain ur battery, once it hits the value, a popup screen will say learn mode detected, plug in charger. (or something like that) just have the charger ready coz u only got a few seconds to plug it in then it shuts down lol

Nothing works for me... I followed the battery calibration steps.. But fails.. Still have the same issue...
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
Do you have these problems when you charge via usb or directly from the plug? As the second procedure is much faster, you can have some erroneous battery capacity readings from time to time, especially in (not really old but still bit) aged batteries.
Try before using the calibration tool the following: When the green LED appears, sign of a full charged battery, unplug your charger and turn off your phone for 3-4 minutes (you can even pull off your battery for a while). Turn it on back on, plug the charger and wait until fully charged. At this point reset your battery stats through the calibration app.
edit: oops, it is essentialy the first solution posted but without going into recovery. The calibration tool does this automatically for you.
I have the opposite problem
My charging is quite accurate but while discharging, the phone suddenly dies at a random battery level below 20%, without becoming close to zero

Battery Drain

Hey everyone, I'm experiencing some pretty bad battery drain. I've had my phone off the charger for an hour and its already down to 75% and I've barely used it. I checked my battery usage and Google Services are taking up 75% of my usage. Is this normal and if not is there a fix that anyone knows of?

I would start with going over to android central and the HTC one forums, they have a sticky post about battery life here http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/269518-htc-one-battery-life-stats-discussion.html
Looks like you should turn off your GPS and location, and turn off your sync. Download the gsam battery monitor. It will help you out too.
Thank youuuu

How can see my onscreen battery usages?

Hey guys I wonder how can I see the onscreen battery usage of the phone.
Thanks in advance.

Download an app called BBS (better battery stats) or GSAM battery
They will give you details for your battery.
For some reason HTC has removed that option in the ROM.
