Desire shuts down at 20% - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using CronMod-bravo/bravoc and phone is shutting down at 20%... Is there any way fixing this? When I charge battery after shutting down, and charge it at 5,6,7,8% and disconnect charger it doesn't shut down... Why is that? Is there any fix for this?

check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765609&highlight=battery+calibration
its also working on the desire

Another daily thread? Think last week about three popped up.

Well, i used Battery Calibration app, and wiped battery stats in Recovery but no use... Will try this link.

It's app and I have tried few of them and they didn't help... So this one won't either

Trust me, it worked for me, i also had this issue.
Just get the app and follow this instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9583271&postcount=340

OK. I'm going to try this. Tnx man!

After you succesfully calibrated your battery, keep your Battery Age in Mind! Cause everytime you charge your Phone when turned off, it will be set to the default 94% and the problem occurs again. then just go in the app to LearnPrep tap and enter your Battery Age again!

App didn't help

I think you have memory buildup in your battery....probably getting old. Replacing it may help.....

I hade the exact same problem and nothing seemd to fix it. Finally I've tryed out some other ROMs, and found out the problem was in the rom i was using at the time..

App calibrator didn't help at all. I've reinstalled rom and now it doesn't shuts down. Problem solved!

Have you tried installing current widget to see what is exactly happening, or how much voltage is going through your phone, even though it's sleeping? (ie, screen off)
I have not tried yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
This happened to me a few times (with almost no apps running) on RC7. Updating to 2.01 seems to have fixed that for me.
If that doesn't help, try using a different kernel and/or a different radio version and see if that works for you (we're reduced to experimentation as nobody has ben able to determine what exactly causes this issue).
I'm well impressed with mine. I went to bed with it fully charged, used it a bit in bed, always play a game and check the forums. Not plugged in at all and woke up this morning and its still fully charged!!
Amazing, since I have yahoo messenger running always. Been using it a lot since I woke up and now on 96% but I know its mainly the screen that uses a lot.
Brilliant ROM tbh
See if this helps:

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.

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.

You may have bricked it. Have you tried installing any rooms lately? Consider flashing back your stock firmware with "flash tool".

If it's never even been rooted, then you should take it in for repair. Maybe a hardware issue.

Maybe if he researched but oh well, this what I have and sometimes it indicates a hardware component is damaged meaning find out what it is,
you should:
Go to your phone provider and ask them do NOT MENTION ABOUT ANY ROOTING OR BL UNLOCKING.
Find out what problem it has .
Or never use it again (Dont do it)
In my case the digitlizer "Screen" is broken, because back in march I used to boot my phone and the screen wouldnt sometimes work of course there could be another problem but...
Yea I realised I tried turned it on with the battery in the wrong way. I realised it didn't come on and when I fixed the battery right it still wouldn't come on. It just kept flashing the red light only when I tried to charge via USB or wall charger

Yep

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

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

Batt started drainning very fast

Guys, I don´t know what happened but 2 or 3 days ago I started noticing that every once in a while my battery starts draining super fast. I mean 10% in 20min. I went to bed yesterday with 67% and when I woke up I had zero battery. I notice that when this is happening the phone gets really hot. I didn´t change anything on the phone but I did get some updates these days (1 small system update, facebook, smooth calendar, facebook, whatsapp.....at least I think these were the ones). Any ideas what might be happening? It´s random thing. Yesterday it was good all day long and then at night it happened.
I´ve just tried doing a factory reset but nothing happened.

When I go to power and then usage, the biggest consumers there are "Android System" (54%) and "HTC Sense" (24%). I´ve downloaded Gsam Battery Monitor and it tells me sreen 50% and app usage 46%. When I click in app usage it tells me Android System 20% and Kernel 9,6%.
I have no idea if these numbers are excessive or not.
I did a factory reset and I´m not charging the phone to check out how long it takes to go down from 100%.

You can only do this with an unlocked bootloader and have flashed a custom recovery.

So you think that when you are at 100% of your battery, you suddenly get access to the recovery?... (this is what you literally say)
Or did you mean to say that your battery stats are wiped when the battery is at 100% .
Still I think that the second explanation is one big whoop, since my battery used to drain life too with a dubious combination of kernel, recovery and ROM. A fully charging of the battery (which I do every night) did not make this problem go away.

In fact wiping the batt stats will not make your phone last longer on a full charge, it resolve the problem that the rom will not display wrong batt info

Pretty much lol. I mean theres no harm in it but its a waste of time because lithium ion/polymer batteries don't have a memory effect.
So pretty much after you flash a new rom, just use it as per normal. I've tried a lot of different scenarios over the past 3 or so years with battery calibration and roms and never noticed anything significant. Mostly placebo
Edit: with that said, if you feel more comfortable doing a calibration and you feel your battery is better. Just keep calibrating
For example: when I flash a rom, I still wipe dalvik cache out of habit even though devs have already said it gets wiped when you do a full wipe lol
