Have you tried re-calibrating your battery?

Yeah dear I have tried but battery celebration apps required 100% charging for celebration.. but my device has always showing under 60% charging that's why its not works..

If u know any other idea for battery calibration so kindly tell me, will really thankful

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.

Thank u so much to all of u..
I,ll do it and see the results.. :beer:

Sounds like your one of the many people with this fault, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26658803, I haven't come across a quick fix for it either.

This is strange... Changing the battery is not an option as it works well... Have you tried flashing another ROM?
If I may ask, did this battery issue started when you flashed CM7?

Its happened to quite a few people since I've been around this forum, dont think anyone has pinned down a particular reason for it happening and the only explanation from HTC is that its a mobo fault........
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

May be its a mobo fault but this is truth that I am facing this issue after flashing cm7.2..!
I have been told this rom working almost perfactly and such a nice and smoother one but before I was used Sunabh Rom v.1.1 by Vibhus which is also nice rom and had never facing issue like this on my previous rom..

Try revert to your previous ROM and see if your battery shows its true status.

Its not yet possible.. I have been delete nandroid backup of my previou rom

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.

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.

Sometimes an app prevents your phone from going yo deep sleep. Install betterbatterystats. It shows which apps are causing wakeblocks. Uninstall all apps. Also, which rom and kernel u use?

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.
It's all in the 'One X All In One Kit'. Search for it .

Or charging to 100%.

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.

Wiping battery stats does nothing. It's already been shown. Search Google. It's not going to magically make your battery lady longer
Unfortunately

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
That's what i learned
As what Mr S says ... didn't see your post while i was writing mine

Factory reset resolved it

Glad you got it working.
But just to reinforce this for other people: wiping battstats does nothing. Your battstats are reset everytime you charge too 100%.

So does this mean battery calibration after installing a new ROM is useless? Or is that different than wiping battery stats?

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

Bricked

So long story short i can't flash anything because my battery is too low and there's no way to charge it.
Here's where i'm at... i have CM installed but non-working, bootloader is relocked, can't boot into recovery, can't unlock my bootloader to charge, trying to charge using the instructions below don't work as it always boots itself up
1.- GO TO FASTBOOT
2.- HIT "SHUT DOWN"
3.- WITH THE POWER OFF PUT IT TO CHARGE
4.- RED LIGHT NOTIFICATION SHOWS THE CHARGING
i'm stuck, can't charge and can't flash.

Use this lil script to charge.

[Q] Not showing proper Battery states

After rooting my wildfire s, i'm not able to charge my battery to 100%. It always shows between 70 to 80 %.
I tried using my battery in my friends cell phone (wildfire s) and it shows 100%.
& again tried using my friends battery ( which was full charged -100%) in my cell phone.. it shows around 67%.
Please help me what is the problem. I can't understand.

Use the battery fully.
Shut down the phone.. charge the phone continuously to 100% while switched off and using original charger.
Boot into recovery.
Wipe battery stats.
Reboot.

thats strange after clear battery stats it should be working.
try another rom i guess.mostly stock is very stable but you might get some luck.

[Q] Won't charge beyond 57%

For the last 2 days my HOX refuses to charge beyond 57%, I haven't got anything running in the background which could be sucking up the energy as it tries to charge, does this sound like it could be a fault with the battery?

Have you tried battery calibration tool? or reset battery stats etc
Andy

Try charging with the phone switched off.

I always charging my phone when Off and never had any issue. Also doesn't matter where I am and what time, as soon as battery shows 5% switching it Off before reaching 0%.
