I recently bought 2 Chinese made batteries with charger for my DHD.
When I swap one of the new fully charged batteries into my phone, it boots up and shows 0% then promptly shuts off, unless plugged into the wire charger.
This only happens when I use any version of CM or any of the new ICS roms. Doesn't happen in Sense roms or MIUI roms.
Has anyone encountered this same bug and found a proper solution?
Same for me. Keep powering up the phone. After four restarts it works fine for me. The battery needs to drain to aboot %98 for it to start up.

That's interesting thanks for the reply. I'll give that a try with my batteries next time.
But I really wanna know is how the people who cook MIUI roms got this bug fixed. Seeing how MIUI is based off CM/AOSP, someone must have figured it out.
No idea. I've seen a couple of posts aboot this but no proper fix.

Same for me. When I'm changing the 3rd party battery, I have to boot to recovery first, wipe cache and battery status and then reboot the phone.
After rebooting, 98% battery level shown.

Hey guys I'm having a little bit of a crisis here. I installed Cyanogen on my HTC Evo a few days ago and have been loving it due to increased performance and battery life. Today, I tried to charge my phone and I get zilch. I've tried different cable and different chargers, even tested them with a multimeter to find they are working properly. So far I've read cyanogen can cause this with the Evos, my problem is custom rom voided the warranty on my not-even-month-old/never-dropped-phone and is currently at a 1% charge with no way to charge the phone to restore my stock ROM. Does anyone know if there are any solutions to this problem or know of a way to revert stock ROM so I don't get raped by Sprint for wanting a a more efficient ROM.
P.S. Phone does boot up

Try charging it with the phone turned off
tried it still nothing : (
I don't think I've ever heard of one not charging while it's off, could be an issue with the port on the phone. You could try charging from recovery and seeing if that works.
My last ditch effort, if you have the necessary SD adapter and reader, would be:
Grab a stock ROM in PC36IMG format from this thread
Put it on the SD card (make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip and you put it on the root of the card)
Get another battery or a standalone battery charger, just something to get you powered up just long enough to flash - if it helps, the Touch Pro 2 uses the same battery
Start up the bootloader (turn on the phone with Vol Down+Power) and let it apply the PC36IMG
Take it back to Sprint and get it fixed!

The charging issue was a kernal problem that was long ago fixed. I doubt the cyanogenmod rom has anything to do with your issue. When the was a problem the phone would charge when turned off, since yours doesn't I would venture to guess your problem lies else where.
Yeah, I'm defaulting to a hardware issue to now that the phone will not charge, or boot up even though we charged the battery externally. Also the phone vibrates indefinitely if I try to boot pressing down on the volume and power
Just an idea, if you have access... charge the battery thru something else (another Evo or phone that uses that battery, or a dock)... then do what you gotta do to get back to stock...
Hi,
due to my low post count I can't post in the actual thread about that ROM hence this topic.
I have a little problem with battery in my Desire Bravo. On my previous ROM DeFrost 6.1a the battery was holding for ~52h (low usage). After flashing with RCMix S v2.0 it dropped terribly to ~7h (nearly to none usage). This is a huuuuuuge difference as you may notice.
The phone is running exactly the same apps as previously, same settings (Wifi, GPS etc. I mean the most battery related). The only things I've also done prior to flashing the ROM was:
S-OFF
flashed with HBOOT CM7 r2
that's all.
Did anyone experience the same problem? Or does anyone know how to solve it? To anticipate the question: I haven't wipe battery stats after flashing.

Well there are a few things that have changed. You have gone from Froyo to Gingerbread. You have fine from AOSP to Sense. RCMix S has bits of Sense 3 thrown in too. So really, it takes a lot to run. I have used that rom but you really have to maximize the battery yourself instead of relying on the rom to do all the work.

I also had battery issues with 2.0. Flashed 2.1. http://rom.robocik.mobi/Desire/RCMixS/v2.1/
whenever you flash a new rom calibrate your battery(i use battery calibrator) and i am using this rcmix 2.0 rom from last 2 week i have no issue with battery.
I generally get a fair while out of mine.
I've been "up" for 14h:40m and I've lose 42% battery.
Here's some battery saving tips:
Turn off OTA updates (Settings-About-Software Updates)
Turn off "Notifiy me of Open Networks" (WiFi)
Change Wi-Fi Sleep policy to 15 minutes (Wi-Fi Advanced)
Turn off Pocket Mode (In Sounds)
Also, having two batteries helps I kept my old one from an insurance claim and charge them using a dock. Means I don't have to worry about running out of juice if I'm out for a long time.
Well, I updated to RCMix S v2.1 as someone suggested and it actually made it even worse. The battery was sucked dry after 5 hours. Then I used the Battery Calibrator. Now it's been 20h since last charging exactly and I got 60%. That's way better than it was. So it seems like the problem was that I haven't wipe the batter stats after flashing new ROM. Lesson learned.
Thanks for all your answers. I appreciate that.
When do you wipe the battery stats, though? I've never done ir.
I had 15h yesterday and about 22% loss. Now I'm at 1d, 13h, 17m and 54% lost!
Well, as far as I know we are supposed to wipe them after every ROM flash as those stats are old (previous ROM) and not reliable anymore. I'm sure someone more experienced than me will have something more to say about it.
I never knew that. Aren't you supposed to wipe when it's dead, though (0%)?
This would explain why when I got a new phone and installed this rom straight to it the new battery was better than the old. Both are fine now though. Or at least I can't tell which is which anymore!

You are actually supposed to charge the battery to 100% and then some. Download current widget and put on your homescreen. Charge until 100% and when current widget reads 0a you unplug, boot into recovery and whipe battery stats.
Hi all,
I have a problem while charging battery. It gets stuck at 80% (60% when cell is turned on) and doesn't go higher. Same problem changing battery. Calibration tool doesn't go to 100%. I wiped battery stats. No luck.
I have a cm7 stable version anddid not find a solution yet. Do I need to reflash the os? Do I loose anything?
I just flashed to the newest radiofor charging issues when in sleeping mode recently. But I don't. Remember I got the battery issue after flashing radio
Thanks.

Not really the solution for your problem but you might want to flash latest CM7.2(I think). This CM7 "stable" is not so stable and smooth as you could expect.
Thanks for your reply. I'll do that and let you know. Do I lose any data flashing to a newer version?
Hi,
I'm downloading the 7.2 candidate release. Are there any issues installing it? Will I encounter issues updating the official 7.2 from this RC?
Thanks.
Hi all,
I upgraded to CM7.2, but seems that the problem persists. I have it turned on and connected to the USB, but percentage stuck at 70%. If I connect to AC all the night, battery gets stuck at 80%.
Has anybody found a solution?
Thanks.
I have the same problem
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
In my case, I installed Battery Monitor Widget and I found AC in input gives between 6 and 60 mA, which is low, while on other HTC phones is about 230 mA.
I think that my phone is faulty from when I used US adapter using 110V somehow.
You could try installig that widget and check. It AC is too low, you can ask someone to give you his charger and see. It may be a phone issue or charger one.

Hi there,
so i gotta HTC one x last week, my first android..and I've gotta say that so far im hugely disappointed.
The phone has been draining battery like crazy ever since I got it. I've been charging it more than I've been using it, while it runs for no more than 4 hours when fully charged and heats up quite quickly. The battery usage options shows that the battery is being used mostly by Android OS and Android systems (over 85% for the former).
My friend suggested that i install a custom rom because it might be that the OS is corrupt. I bought the phone brand new and it came packed with an ICS stock rom. In the recovery mod the phone states that it is an S-off, with a CID #111111.
So i flashed the phone last night and installed a Jelly Bean Bindroid rom but the problem still persists. The phone drains the battery even when on stand by.
The phone runs fine besides the battery running out way too quickly issue.
Could anyone please help me with deterring what the cause of this problem might be and if the S-off thing has anything to do with it? and if so, how can I solve this battery problem? could it be a hardware issue?
Please help me. Im a NOOB at this!!!
Thank you in advance.
Might be a faulty battery. Look for a replacement OEM battery.

Check task manager too see which apps are running. Disable background sync if it's enabled, delete htc sense account if you have added it in account settings (it's a real battery hog).
Also, try to charge the phone to 100% battery 2-3 times and then check the battery performance.
Use BetterBatteryStats (search on here for the apk and instructions on how to use it).
Or, factory reset.
Hi,
I've searched through various threads here and in the development/ROM forums but need some advice and didn't find advice for my specific scenario.
From Jan - Sept this year I was rooted but running the stock 4.1 Android (Rogers), I tried CM10 and a few other custom ROM's but eventually went back to stock carrier TW, with the only root change being the 4.2 Camera (for Photosphere) being installed (via CMW). During that time my device ran pretty ok in terms of battery life.
Then in Sept I started getting serious battery drain issues. I've got a few extra batteries and an external battery charger so I ended up swaping in and out charged batteries twice or three times a day.
So I decided to re-enter the root world and have since tried a variety of ROM's to see if the battery issues might be fixed. Installed TWN recovery rather than CWM, Tried ROM's such as Task650, CM10 Stable, CM10 Daily, and I still am encountering pretty dismal battery life?
I've tried various battery apps and generally keep screen brightness to a minumum, turn off mobile data, and have wifi/gps/bluetooth/sync off for most the day
I can't imagine it's the battery themselves, 1 is the original that came with my GS3 last year, 1 is official Samsung bought a few months ago and two are Anker ones that worked fine for months.
Can anyone recommend a specific ROM that may have worked for you? I haven't really messed around with custom kernals much, only played with kernals and governors a while back when trying out SETCPU (which I havent used in ages).
Any ideas?
Thank You.
Try the app BetterBatteryStats and see what is using up the battery. After a few hours of having the phone idle, look up the process running on the phone that uses the most wake locks.
Hi,
BBS did not really reveal one glaring thing draining the battery while the screen was off.
Any other ideas?
