Turned on my Desire HD today and used CurrentWidget during the first charge, now its on 100%. But when should I calibrate the battery?
- Can I do it right away, or should I wait for the battery to be drained?
- Should I calibrate it with the phone being all new, or should I do it when I feel like the battery is getting worse? (Couple of months?)
I wouldnt recommend calibration until youve got at least a week of normal use under your belt or you wont see any kind of improvement
When u notice unusual battery drain u could try to calibrate it but a new phone shouldnt need it perse.

My wildfire s battery life is very bad.
When fully charged,the phone works for a long time without even 1% drop but when it goes down to 99% then battery began to discharge quickly.
Is there any way to solve this?
HTC is popular for having low battery life so it can't be blamed but
U can underclock it

solution
in my case, I left the phone to discharge and shut off completely. Then, with the last drop of battery juice, I powered it on into CWM recovery and went to advanced -> clear battery stats. Afterwards plug it and charge it to 100% (until the LED turns green), preferably with the phone off.
I know some say it's only a placebo effect, but in my case it makes my 806Mhz overclocked & automatic sync enabled phone to last around 35hours.
You dont want to empty battery in our wfs completely ever
Lition-ion batteries dont like full dischard and they tend to loose juice after that process
Good tip-never discharge your phone so you can't turn him on without charger
My battery life sucks, I think its the quality of HTC batterys, I need to go on eBay and buy a new one

my battery is doing the same, plus it never charges 100%, stops on about 90%, after few hours of charging it gets to about 91
I've never had any real problems with my battery life, but with the CM9 that I'm running as a daily at the moment, it just can hold up a long working day till I get home. Really annoying, but damn I like CM9 to much ! I hope that get's sorted quickly!

Agree with that,its quite correct.
Also guys try this...
-HTC checkin service apk...its a bigeest consumer next to wifi,cell,and display...amongst two top ones.
Do following:download rom toolbox or titanium backup or any similar app
here the links https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94Il0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5rZXJhbWlkYXMuVGl0YW5pdW1CYWNrdXAiXQ..
with this in app manager find that app...long press on it and choose FREEZE (u can unfreeze it later if you want)...also freeze the maps if not using them...etc...just DO NOT MESS with system apps if you dont know what you are doing.
I prefer Romtoolbox cause its all in one app...you can also wipe your battery stats from there as well...great app for root users...try it out
Hope i helped with giving some of you some ideas what can you do amongst other battery tips im sure you all know by now.
Enjoy
Battery calibration
if you use a custom rom you have to calibrate your battery with néma's battery calibration you can find it on the market .my battery last longer since i did it at any rom instalation
@Fikus011
I freezed those two apps with titanium backup.i wil report later about battery life.
Thanx for the info.
@TheKilLapops
I had already use battery calibration
BTW thanx

Wiping battery stats does NOTHING.
Same battery life!!!!!
My battery is doing the same
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda premium
Hi guys, I bought 2 batteries so I could play longer (info here)
I charged one and replace my original battery. At that moment my original battery was at 70%. I put the new battery and with shock I see that the battery level was 70%, the same level that my original SE battery.
I think battery level got stuck somehow. Is there a way to fix it or is a battery problem?
ADDED: while I was writing this post, my battery went from 70% to 80% without been connected to a USB cable or charger... extrange.
I think it has something to do with the battery stats not being tuned to the new battery. I wish I had more info for you, like how to reset the stats, but I can't recall on how to do it, as I have yet to do so myself lol. I just remember reading about it here at xda....maybe under accessories section.

Ye its not your battery thats screwed anyway just let ur battery drain then charge it to 100% & wipe stats, u can do so by searching for battery calibration app on playstore. It comes with instructions and is simple. It just deletes a file for batterystats inside data/misc I think ( I havent had to do it in a long time ).

Hello
A few weeks ago i installed clockworkmod en cyanogenmod 9. This because i thougth it would be better for my battery.
When i installed those mods, i didn't remove the batterystats.
By installing those mods, i concluded that the software wasn't the problem why my battery was draining that much, but it was the battery itself.
When i brought it back to the store, they told me it was damaged.
So because of that, i ordered a new one.
Now i have the following question.
1) When i replace my old battery with the new, do i have to clear the batterystats via clockworkmod?
2) in fact, i never cleared those stats. Should i have to do this?
Thanks!
Ps, sorry for my bad english.

Battery stats are cleared whenever your battery reaches 100% (when you fully charge it). So it actually is useless to manually reset the battery stats.
Ok so your battery is damaged? How was the battery life before you flashed CM9? I don't think that it is the ROM's fault. Was your battery swollen? (getting fat)
No you dont have to reset battery stats.. Just keep in mind that CM9 and CM10 uses kernel 3.0 and they cause fast battery drain...You may have to install some apps to prolong the battery life like deep sleep battery saver and Greenify.

Hello,
Battery life before CM9 wasn't also that good.
This was one of the reasons why i changed to CM9.
After the installation, i noticed that there wasn't improvement in batterylife. It become even a bit worser...
Because of this, i went to the store to check the battery. They tested it and told me that the battery indeed was swollen.
So, if i understand good, i just have to replace the battery without clearing stats.
For the rest i just have to install some apps to counter the kernel 3.0 drainage?
Yeah you are right. Just charge the battery 100% and start using your phone.

Greetings everyone!
I'm facing battery issues using Gimmeabreak 2.0.6, but (maybe) read somewhere that is a cyanogenmod related problem, but I still can't find a way to solve this problem.
I got huge battery drain by screen from (40% to 50%), with auto backlight, 1 min shut off.
Battery is 2 months new, cleaned cache and dalvik cache from recovery, recalibrated battery.
Is a rom related problem or a cyanogenmod problem and there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Thats an awesome rom by an awesome developer.. If you concerned about battery use Gimmeabreak 1.1.. Best battery backup and most features as 2.0.6... Dirty flash over it...
Thanks, I'll try that later!
I think that for most ROMs, custom ones at least, the biggest battery drain is often from the display/screen. I'm currently using Jellytime 4.2.2 R11 and my battery drain from the screen is ~40% but I still get a decent 15-18 hours of usage daily before recharge. You could try saving battery life by disabling other features such as Google location reporting and turn auto syncs off your accounts
Hope my input could help :good:

The only other things I could think of would be to:
1) Wipe battery stats via recovery
2) Recalibrate the battery (but I see you've already done that)
3) Use the app BetterBatteryStats to find out what apps are keeping your phone "awake" cos it could most probably be just an app causing battery drain.
4) Worse-comes-to-worst, buy a new battery?!

eheh! Done everything, used another battery, still no solution!
I think I'll wait for a stable kit-kat rom!
Same case here
I have the same battery drainage issue. The battery drains from 80-70 or 50-40 in matter of mins or sometimes seconds when the screen is on. I guess its something to do with the CM ROM. I also use Greenify and i've hibernated most of the apps that relies on GCM.
Any good battery saving kernel's for CM10.1?
Wipe battery stats via recovery seems to help a little
It seems like a normal drain, I have the same drain for screen, is pretty big for the battery...

My battery is 2 year old, normally the screen uses about 50% to 60% with also auto and 1 min. I think your battery drain is not very normal.

I think you should consider replacing the battery after 2 yrs. It.s cheap, at least on ebay, you can buy one of 2-3000mah. I did so and the problems stopped, but I didn't had such a battery drain. Try a different rom, I.m on JellyTime R10, and I find it most stable and no battery drain.

Normally the battery can hang on about 1 day for a regular use, and I have 3 backups, after this one dead I will use another one. After randomblame release the stable 4.4 I will try. Maybe it's a cure for all problems, haha

Seems you need a new battery too
I'm thinking if it's not because of the battery life or the ROM, maybe it's some apps are using too much resource. I've tracked my CPU usage, one weather app was always using about 20% CPU.

Sorry to bother you, bit which brand and model of batteries do you buy and use?
I already searched many and many opinions, reviews, etc...
And all say the best ones are OEM, Mugen and Anker.
I really want the brand with the best battery life 100% to 0% , bit also the best life and reability to end of life (years) based onde old users that buyed.
And best quality too, this is with temperature sensor and protection overcharche, trust legit laws, that things =D
Which are your recomendations guys/girls?
Thanjs so much
PS: sorry errors of keyboard correction prediction, and english not my native language. Lol.

It was just some batterys without a brand, haha. I think it's not gona be a big problem if we use a third party brand, just don't use too cheap one I think. I'm using it even with CPU overclock to 1.5GHz.
