Hey all,
I recently flashed CM 10, the stable version, and am loving it so far. The only issue is an odd one. When I turn my phone off and charge it, it will only charge 20%, not a % more. It could be at 40, and when I wake up and turn it on, it's at 60. The battery icon while the phone is off shows that it's fully charged, but it's not. When I turn the phone on and charge it, it charges up to 100 no problem. I'm running the stock kernel and have in no way messed with it.
I'm not really sure at all what to do. A battery calibration, re flash the rom? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
I installed the newest version of AOKP, and the same thing happened, althought with this rom it didn't charge at all. The icon showed it was, but when it was turned on, it hadn't gotten anything.

Ever since I flashed Ultimate Droids Rom my battery has started to take alot longer to charge. I throw it on the charger at 6%, and check half an hour later to see that its gone up maybe 1% or none!
I've tried to nandroid to past Roms that haven't had this problem but they all seem to be the same.
Could it be my Evo,or my Battery?,

It might not be your battery nor your phone. It might just be the rom you put. take it off and then see if your battery improves. If you know someone who has an evo, maybe an incredible since it uses the same battery try putting theirs in and see if it makes a difference. That way it will save you some time from completely restoring the rom.
Okay I'm pissed off. I took my phone off this morning at 28% ,so I throw it on the charger turned OFF,30 minutes later 8% l
WTF is happening!?

You are being punished for being a bad person.
Lol, seriously, my guess is any number of things:
1) Check to make sure your red charging light comes on when you plug in.
2) Make sure your charger isn't plugged into a socket controlled by a lightswitch you have turned off.
3) Make sure there are no micro-breaks in your charging cord's casing that would be causing a short (this happened to me - got new charging cord, problem solved).
4) Make sure your charger is rated at at least 5 volt / 800 ma.
5) Your usb port may have gone bad.
6) Go into Clockwork Recovery and clear your battery stats under "Advanced Options".
7) Your battery is cooked (happens - hardware breaks).
8) It could just be a coincidence that this is happening to you after you flashed UD. I was just over at their forum and this doesn't seem to be a common problem.
I have an EVO and am running the UD 12/3 nightly and it is flawless. 2.3 was a bit buggy. The new nightly is better.
same problem
Has any one figured out what's the problem with EVO and the battery charging situation? A couple weeks ago I noticed my battery wasn't charging, I turned the phone off and on then it would charge...now it won't charge at all WTF? I got a red light indicating my phone is plugged in, I got a thunder bolt in the battery window indicating charging, but the green bar is not moving while charging anymore. If I unplug the phone it will shut down. ANY AND SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED...THANKS IN ADVANCE
EVO not charging fully and draining fast
Okay, here's my deal. My friend and I both have EVO's. We both are running Vaelpaks 3.1 rom. We both have the Battery Monitor Widget. When I charge my battery, it charges to 100% and 0mA. When my friend charges his phone, it reads 100% but the mA is not going to 0mA. Instaead it bounces between 64mA (red) or 252 mA (green). When he unplugs the phone, it drops 10% within minutes and continues to drop at a much faster rate than my phone.
Here's the kicker, when I pull his battery out of his phone and charge it in my phone, it charges to 100% and 0mA. then we put it back in his phone and it works great, until he charges it again. It charges the same way regardless of the rom we run. We have loaded Manilla Carbon by xxbabiboi228xx, VaelPak 3.1 and even stock and his phone won't charge to completion and drains quickly. Also, we are both rooted with Urevoked. We may switch to S on and see about switching the phone with Sprint unlees anyone has some sort of idea about whats going on with his phone. It may have something to do with the Hardware Version through settings/About Phone. My hardware version is 0003 and his is 0002. Thanks
you guys running the same kernel too?

It's the kernel, when your battery reaches 100% its supposed to stop charging but SBC kernels will continue to trickle charge. Li-ions aren't supposed to be trickle charged so they will wear out much quicker and possibly become unstable.
So i'm currently running CM7 on my incredible. I have been running it for a little over a month with no battery problems. Just recently the battery has been draining crazy fast. I'm saying losing 1% every minute. At first I thought it was my battery so I took the battery from my wife's Dinc to try her's as she has absolutely no battery problems at all. It drained the battery 8% in a matter of 5 minutes!!!
I left my phone on and had it charging all night and in the morning it was still at only 78% charged.
Is there a fix to this? Ideas?
Thanks for the help!
I'm surprised that it wouldn't fully charge over night! Seems like it only takes an hour or two to fully charge my phone (stock battery, cm7, incredikernel). I'd recommend a different kernel that has fast charge at least, might also help your battery life too. Chad's incredikernel or invisiblek are my favorites, both charge very quickly.

Charge your phone until it won't anymore while turned on. Then turn it off and keep charging until the light goes green. Then unplug it, and plug it back in until it goes green again. Then boot into recovery and go to Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats. Reboot your phone and let the battery drain to 0% (don't plug it in at all until it's at 0%, it's relearning all the charge points and whatnot). Then plug it in and charge it all the way up again.
I hope this solves your problem!
What's your CPU utilization look like? If something is pegging your processor, the battery will run down pretty fast.

that's really weird. I got great BL on cm7. And I get comparable with a sense 2.1/3.0 rom which makes me very happy. I have a 1500mah battery, but I just got it recently and I got great BL with stock. But it's great because it came with 2 bats and a bat charger, so I just keep one on the charger and if I run low for whatever reason, I just swap the battery. And unlike a lot of battery chargers, when it gets full it doesn't start to drain, it keeps it at 100%.

I WAS getting great battery life. all of a sudden the phone had shut off one day and wouldn't go back on unless I took the battery out and put it back in. Since then the battery life has been just crap. I tried resetting the battery points and nothing happened. I think I'm just going to go back to 2.2. I never had any issues with cm7 up until now but something is completely ****ed and I can't do anything to repair it.
ugh.
Check what apps are consuming most of your CPU. If you nothing stands out there it may be worth buying System Panel ($3) for the monitoring capability. There are probably free apps that do the same thing, but I can only recommend what I've tried. Also, if you just recently flashed an over/underclocked kernel or just installed SetCPU, you may be running into Issue 9733, which has a known workaround. If you want any more detailed assistance, you'll have to post more details. Can you post an adb bugreport?
I'm not sure what happened but I decided to just flash a different ROM. I just flashed Kingdom Stock GingerSense 3.0. Works great! I installed all my programs on it just fine and I just tried installing the google apps zip (it has navigation, places, ect) and now I'm getting an error message. UGH! WHY! It didn't install the apps from the zip file and now for a few programs that I had already installed they are no longer there and when I try to install from the market place I get a "Missing Shared Library" error message. I'm trying to install the TD Bank app and Tweetdeck as well as Craigslist and get the errors. I'm not having any problems with anything else.
problem solved!
About a month ago, I flashed Gingerbread onto my Epic 4G. Did nothing else, been running the usual BatteryLife by CurveFish without any hiccups or fluctuating readings.
However, recently, I don't seem to be getting a full charge. Or, the battery likes to drain. Either that or BatteryLife is not giving proper readouts anymore. For example, I can plug my phone in and let it charge. Its LED will go blue and the widget shows 100%. But, now, sometimes I'll look at the phone again later (while it's still connected with the charging cord or not) and the widget will read something like 82%. And, just now the widget is now showing 78%.
My battery has been fully discharged and recharged many times before for proper calibration. I even ran a battery calibration app. Still, this problem happens. What exactly is going on? I have had the phone tethered to remain charged and never once had a problem with the battery. I do know when I flashed Gingerbread, my battery life has increased dramatically.
Charge till you get the fully charge notification
Then turn off
Then go into click work recovery
Go to advanced
Click reset battery stats or something like that
Put back on charger
This proly happens cause of overheats from the super crap **** gb leaks
Also discharging the battery doesn't help

Then, why does everyone say to get the most out of your battery, you discharge it fully then charge it up to 100% about a couple times to maintain proper battery life and calibration?
There is an issue with some installations of the gb leaks where the battery stops charging at 100% even when it is still plugged in. I had this issue and could not remedy it. Went back to a solid ec05 base and my charging works fine again.
I have a odd problem. I have the Leedroid custom rom with its kernel installed, and it seems as when i plug in the charger that the battery DRAINS extra fast instead of CHARGE. I have no idea whats going on. The red LED light is on as usual but when i turn my phone off for a while and let it charge and then turn it on i only had like 5% battery left when i started charging at 20%. What do i do? Is this some kind of bug?
I dont believe that i cannot charge my phone, but im afraid that if i leave the charger in my phone will become completely drained of battery and that i then wont have any option left.
Please help me, my phone only have 5% battery left, and if there is something i can do before the battery drains completely, tell me as fast as you can!
Thanks!

Never mind, i got it to work. It seems as if the battery didnt get enough electricity. Probably because i got the charger hooked up to a powerstrip whom also have a halogene spotlight connected to. That was on. The phone died and when i tried to charge it the red light flashed. So i turned off my spotligt and tried bashing the powerbutton.
The LED started to statically glow red and the phone turned on. I almost panicked because i rooted the phone yesterday and have only had the phone for like 1 and a half week.:angel:

why dont power off the phone and charge it. maybe there are apps that cause it

why dont you check which apps consume the battery.

In this case it wouldnt have mattered since i charged the phone while it was turned off, but as i just wrote, i found out what the problem was. Haha :laugh:
So, a moderator can close the thread if he/she would like to. I will change the topic to *SOLVED*
Last night I turned my HOX off with about 20% battery left so that I would have some left in the morning. When I tried to turn it back on in the morning I found it was flat and too a full 10 mins connected to a charger before the red light came on. When I powered it up it had lost the date/time too but this was less of an issue as it resynchronised a few minutes later..
My question is why would it drain like that turned off, surely the ROM / Kernel wouldn't even be running? I am on Hboot 0.43 maybe that is at fault but I'm sure it hasn't done this before I installed the latest custom ROM I have now.
Maybe you guys will know what could cause this drain?
