It is for motorola, will it gonna work on htc ? Also when I charge my battery for 4 hours or for 48 ( turned off the phone I mean) it still lightning red led not green. Always it charged till 71 %
Worked for me on my WF using CM 7!
Okay I will try this, nut what about app Battery Calibration, does it work ?
Don't use an app because it is software based, but the guide i've posted is hardware based!
Ok thanks for the information !

1. While in Android, charge up to 100% and leave the phone plugged in.
it dosen't charge up to 100% to use this method
In this case 100% are the maximum you can reach. You can check the exact battery status in system settings!

1. Sorry, haven't thought about that. Yes, it has to be rooted.
2. If your phone is rooted you can find it with root explorer.
3. Yes, for rooting your phone needs to be S-OFF
Maybe you can use that one - found it in another topic:
1. Power on your phone then connect to your Charger and Fully charge until the LED changes Green.
2. Disconnect your phone from the charger and then power off.
3. Reconnect your phone to your charger with the power off and wait for the green LED.
4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5. Once the phone has fully booted / ready to use ... power off again.
6. With the power off connect the phone to the charger and wait for the green LED.
7. Disconnect from the Charger then power on and use normally.
Needs no root, but I haven't tried that yet. Most of the users said that it worked, but keep in mind that battery calibration can always damage your battery.
My battery never charge up to 100% last time i saw green light from fulfully charged phone was last year. I can charge it for 48 hours turned of it still wont be green
Which status is shown in phone->status->battery status?

I installed the DK custom rom yesterday and today i reset the battery indicator.
# Power off the phone and fully charge it until the led is green.
# Turn the phone on for a couple of minutes until the battery indicator drops from 100% to 99%.
# Power off the phone again and charge it again while watching. As soon as the led turns green proceed to the next step.
# Unplug the charger, boot the phone into Recovery mode and reset (or wipe) the battery stats (on advanced menu in ClockWorkMod).
# Reboot and continue to use as normal.
Ok, now however the battery indicator says me always 100% of battery life!!!
And this is not good at all. What i should do?
how long have you left it? mine can stay at 100% for quite a while before dropping, but after that it drops rather faster
Problem still there? Tested it and have no issues here

Its a Clockworkmod bug, and, there's no workaround. Actually, when charging the phone in the off state, it wouldn't turn on, and the battery had to be removed, but, the workaround to this was to turn on using Power Key + Vol Down.
how can we recalibrate the battery with the clockwork mod bug?

Try with currentwidget and/or battery monitor widget.
Did you turn off wifi/bluetooth/mobile connections?
And try to switch to GSM mode if it currently in 3G/dual.
My phone shows from 4 to 8ma while screen off, depends on which rom i'm using.
Install setcpu from market and enable profile named Screen-Off and set frequency to 128-576..It will help a lot to save battery
i use battery monitor widged pro.
Last night i shutdown my phone with 71% battery.. about 7 hours later phone on and only 39% battery... really od!
I have tried wifi sleep off, kernels , radios, cpu tweaks, airplane mode........ lowes it go is 57ma.
Soon i give this ****ty phone hammer and go buy samsung.

So are u sayng that ur phone gone from 71% to 39% while it was power off??
then, the problem is not the rom.
buy an other battery.. (htc one)..and always use an htc wall charger too

Yes.
I have new htc original battery and i allways use htc charger..
And i have done battery calibration...
Jst now i hope someone who had this broblem has managed fix this and see my thread..
Pff.. my eng so bad.
When i byed this phone i had any broblems. Now phone ower 1 year old..
Im not remember when my battery broblems started..
anyway i think is very strange that ur phone go from 71% to 39% while it is OFF...
leave away all the crap recalibration method
-flash a stock htc ruu, boot the phone just to see if it boot correclty (do not install anything, leave all off, internet, wi-fi..)
-shut down the phone (if u are on stock 2.3 disable settings/application and untick fast boot, then power off)
-remove the battery for 10 seconds (this is a sort of soft reset)
-put the battery in again
-charge it with the wall charger (not at laptop)
-wait the led to be green
-unplug the charger
-switch on the phone (it should be at 100% or 99% maybe)
then leave it on and see if the battery drain still occurs while ur phone is with screen off
if the problem still occurs (even when it is OFF), and the battery is a new htc battery, no solution. call htc, there is some fault in ur phone..and u should be covered by warranty
solved..nothing else you can do
let us know
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....

Tried that...
But it gets weirder and weirder :/

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.
Recently flashed Revolutionary HD ROM, HBoot 1.73, everything was working fine, its a awesome ROM, but last night Battery level dropped zero, I wasn't able to charge during this time. Now its not charging, as I connect it to PC red light is blinking from last four hours and when I connect it to HTC socket charger charging screen appears with blinking red notification light, but its turns off in 30 seconds and remains off for 30 seconds and again charging screen appears with blinking red light and then it keep repeating.
I don't understand why this is happening. I had keep trying to turn it on, once it turned on and showed low battery notification 3% battery and it turned off.
I really appreciate help, its my first post in XDA Developer. I tried to explain the scenario but ignore my poor English.
Thanks.

I connected the phone and let it charger for whole day, after a day I switched it on and battery was 10% and it started charging normally when phone was on.
I am going to change Rom, Revolutionary HD drains battery very fast. battery level was 100% last night, and whole night phone was on standby, in morning battery level dropped to 9%! and battery details says android system used 85% of battery.
Lukes can you please tell me which recovery you used to flash Viper 4.0.7? I had tried four recoveries but not working. cw recovery says bad package and twrp recovery is not working nor touch neither buttons working.
Thanks

In standby overnight, maybe 3-5% battery drain. A lot of things come in play though such as what apps you have installed, if your on LTE, or 3g, or wifi, or even go into airplane mode at night, etc.

first of all , I'd like to thank you for your reply ..
I've bought a new desire 816 two days ago and I can notice something wrong with the battery as it drains faster than normal
and it gives false percent as it increases after restarting the phone ..
I've tried to calibrate the battery by letting in turn off by itself then recharging it to 100% but then I realized It's still giving me false number
I don't know what to do ... It would be great if you can help

Have you tried a battery calibration app such as the one by NeMa in the PlayStore? It requires root but it basically asks you to charge your device to 100% which is done from empty to max in about 3 hours. At this point you go in the app while its still plugged in and "clear" the batterystats. This is the file that tells the device how much charge it can hold and on some devices this file gets buggy/glitched. It will wipe this file away and generate a new one based on the charge the battery holds at max. It then asks you to use the device as normal until it dies and recharge to full afterwards. This has worked for many and I hope it will work for you as well.
If you have excessive battery drain look at the Power settings and review the usage. If it shows a green line on awake and it doesn't show the same matching the screen on time then you have a background app sucking battery from the device. Facebook and its Messenger are known to be the culprits but if you download Greenify from the PlayStore. It will allow you to hibernate practically every app so there is no battery drain when your device screen is off. In combination with this app I am able to get an average day and a half of use with no charge and normal use with Videos, Music, Facebook, Messenger; etc. I average I use about 6-10 hours on this device with pure stock w/ root & Greenify with battery calibration via app done.

I fixed my battery issue. the exposed software killed mine relating to the same issue i believe you had or have. reporting wrong percentage. once had 50 percent, took it back out of my pocket and within 5 mons i had 4%. wouldnt charge.
Power it off... hold all 3 buttons (power+volume up+volumedown) after 15 seconds it will boot back up. this calibrated my battery. hope this works for you.
Wrong battery percentage report is fixed by HTC on 1.58 rom update. it works fine on 1.58 Rom
My battery on my htc is draining fast I think it went from 100% to 83% percent in like 20 minutes is this normal? I have disabled everything that I'm able to disable on this phone but once it gets to 70% the drainage kinda slows down
