[Q] Battery stuck at 86% - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys. i did this.. battery calibration thingy hoping that it will boost my battery life but i think i messed it up. not it charges until 86% only and gets stuck there. and when it goes down normally to 1% and shuts down normally. I used the script from zepellinrox before this. Now, at 5% the script says it should read 36% so yeah.. sounds like im screwed. Any idea how to fix this? couldnt find anything on it because all the threads say that i need to charge it up to 100% to do a calibration and most of them mentioned that getting stuck at 95% and above is normal.
Get what I'm saying?
I've tried restarting my phone, wiping battery stats, wiping dalvik, recharging, turning it on without battery then putting it back in.. nothing helps. it's now saying 18% 3884 mV according to battery calibrator app.
did i just destroy my battery?
Anyone had the same issue before?
I was thinking maybe restoring from nandroid would help or flashing a new rom or a new kernel or just flashing stock rom would solve it but I'm not sure... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

sorry guys false alarm please delete this. fixed it

how do you fix it? I have a similar problem my battery shows 19% but its in 1%. any advice? thanks

You mean it shuts down after 19%? I just discharged it completely and charge it again. Try charging to phone to full, use battery calibrator app from market. 100% should be about 4200mv. Charge it up to the max, mine can only reach about 4190 max. Then hit calibrate and use normally until it completely discharge and charge it full again.

[Q] Desire turns off at 10%

Everytime my phone reaches 10%, the phone will shut down itself and it won't turn on again.
i have tried bump charging and calibrating the battery but still without success... anyone got any soulutions other then buying a new battery?
thanks.
Try this: fully charge the phone then let the battery drain completely, until the phone shuts down. Plug the phone into the wall charger, let it charge for a minute or so then turn the phone on while still plugged into the charger and let it charge completely. After a full (100%) charge, the battery indicator should be precise.
I've noticed that if i restart the phone of plug it in after charging, the battery indicator will show an extra 10%, so that's the main reason for the shutdown at or a little below 10%.
This operation should be repeated once a month, just to keep the battery and the battery stats fresh.
Don't wipe battery stats and don't try any other calibration tweaks. They might damage the battery. There are some people here complaining about that.
If the phone still shuts down at 10% after the above-indicated trick, then your battery might be old and in need of replacing, but i wouldn't replace it just because of a 10% indicator error if it can still hold a proper charge.
I have the same problem. I also calibrated my batterie and everything but it still turns off at ~10%.
But since I know that, it's not really a problem
Its always turned off at ~15% for me. I accepted that this was normal. I've seen a lot of posts around but no one seems to of found a proper solution. I actually doubt that there is a proper solution to this.
Punched in..
snq's kernel? I take it is normal with it as none of the GB sense rom managed to come even near the 1-2%. A bug with the kernel probably.
Flashed Oxygen last week - bam, phone turns off at 1%. No calibration was needed even .
Every time this happens to me I charge it 100% then I reset battery stats. Then let it discharge threw normal use then give it a proper charge, plugged into wall charger, not PC.....! And once its 100% ignore green light check it says 100% on the top bar then I unplug. Its normally always sorted then. But I have had to repeat twice in the past.
I also agree about kernal, often after updates it goes bonkers, and I'm on miui, lots of updates

Mine also used to turn off at ~14%. After using a battery calibrator, i could push it down to 7%. However, on the other "side" of the scale, it goes down qute quickly from 100% to ~92%. All this on GV2.8, and the unofficial ManU kernel 2.1.1.

Just wipe battery stats in recovery after full discharge if you changed ROM, and then let it charge to 100%.
Used the battery calibrator app (for nexus one) with detailed instructions. Now batt lifeis awesome, turns off at 3%.

Should I calibrate my battery?

Lately my phone will go through a massive drain until it hits around 55% then it will drain normally. I have not changed anything since this started. Any suggestions? I'm thinking I may need to calibrate my battery.

That sounds like a good idea for your situation.

Thanks for your input. I want to wait a few days before I do it. So it will give it time to see if that really is the problem. This only happened yesterday and today so maybe tomorrow will be better. Besides the only time I really have to do it is later this week.

How does one calibrate a battery? Is this the same thing as "conditioning?"

You charge your battery to 100%, wipe batterystats.bin, then run the battery down to 0%, then charge uninterrupted back up to 100%
Battery Calibration does it help ?
I have a similar situation and i followed the battery re-calibration method too but still didnt help.
Situation - The battery would charge till 88% but will show its fully charged. Recently put Vivokat so now its even more prominent. Every reboot drops the battery by steps, like i would reboot and the battery would go from 80 to 65 just like that, no gradual decline or anything. And even after a full charge (the green light indicator is on) still the battery would continue charging.
Tried - I tried resetting the batterystats.bin file as suggested, fully charged till 100% then removed batterystats.bin file then allowed to discharge all the way then charged continuously till 100%. No outcome
Anything else that can be done ?

Charge to phone to 100%, boot into recovery, wipe battery stats, reboot into the phone. Use the phone til it completely dies, i.e. manually power off, then charge it back to 100%. If you undervolting or using other mods and your charging led blinks, its okay, it'll do that for a minute and turn solid. Again, charge it to 100% and you'll be good.
Only wipe battery stats when u are at 100% charge.

Trouble calibrating Desire battery.

Hi all. Having trouble calibrating my battery. I even went as far as to buying Battery Monitor Widget Pro. But to no avail. When I unplug at 100%, my bat drops about 15 in less than an hour. After that it seems to use up the battery normally. At 20% it goes to power savings mode, turning off some stuff like wifi, etc... But then, at around 18,it shuts down unexpectedly and when I power back on and get into the OS, it says I have 0% and powers back off.
The problem is I don't know how to properly calibrate the battery. Most softwares I have tried only seem to make matters worse. Could anyone please help me out? I'd really appreciate it.

Fully charge, fully discharge, wipe battery stats in recovery, fully charge in powered off mode.. A few cycles ought to be enough.
Will try. Thanks!

Battery life number jump problem

Anyone have this problem?
My battery is below 15% there is a pop up. After few mins..about 1 or 2mins when it reaches 13% it jump to 1% and have the 1% pop up and then shut down.
Anyone have this problem?
Isit something to do with the values in system?
By rooting or flashing new ROM does it fixed the problem?

You could try getting root, and wiping battery stats in CWM.

Never did I encounter that kind of problem. Anyway, my ION is just 9 days old as of now and I know that batteries has to go through a series of charge and discharge cycles before you can get its optimum performance.
What I did was insanely used my ION until its get to 5% of battery power left then charged it, I did that for a week. What I did on the eight day was quite different. When the battery reached 5% of its remaining power, I turned the unit OFF. Plugged in the wall charger then turned the unit ON. In this case, the operating system won't boot up. You'll just see an animated battery that tells you that it’s charging and left my ION on that state for 12 straight hours. Aside from that installed this little app and configured it.

Now, after eight hours of moderate usage I still got 80% of battery power remaining. Though Wi-fi is only turned on during manual sync. Bluetooth turned off since I despise bluetooth devices. NFC turned on only when needed. Brightness is always at the lowest level and only maxed out if needed.
You may not get the same results but I hope this helps.
