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:

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........

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.

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.

Quick battery drain

Hey everyone ,from when I rooted my device my battery is draining very quick.before I rooted I used to charge it once a day.

What ROM are you using now?
Are you using a Live Wallpaper?
Also mention something you've done after which the battery drained faster... (something done after rooting)...

I don't know and im not using a live wallpaper.but when I rooted the first app I installed was set CPU and its on highest frequency,also when u finished rooting I remember that I entered cmw and flashed an update.zip which came by itself.could you please give me a battery saving ram?

I think its definitely setCPU. When i installed it my cpu freqquencies would change every second between min and max frequency(no matter what governor i used). The result:excessive battery drain
I think its because stock kernel doesnt support overclocking(or even underclocking)...May be the devs could explain it
After i did a factory reset, battery is ok now for me. No battery drain when kept idle for a night:good:
P.S. Also before reset my HW decoding(in video playback) wasn't working(now its ok)....any1 experienced this too?

The problem isn't setcpu the problem is that he set it to 2ghz

I think it is the setCPU too, try to use no-frills, it is a tad better in my opinion, but stock kernel doesn't like non-stock settings that is for sure.

I upgraded to rc2.1 cz they told me that the battery drain will decrease, but its still the same

how often do you use your phone and what operations do you do with it... are you always on full brightness? is your gps always on? are you always on wifi or bluetooth? some things to consider that may take chunks of battery life..

you need to reset the battery by the sounds of it, empty your battery tonight, run some games or put youtube on or something....there used to be an app on the market that would run gps\wifi\brightness all max etc and empty your battery for you....not sure if it's still there.....but when you do root you can clear battery stats which will make your life easier....but yea empty it, charge it while it's off and HOPFULLY everything will be fine for you also as a sidenote, i charge my phone with wifi on and internet radio playing in the night and charges to 100% fine

When should I clear the battery stats?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium

it's known to reset the "capacity" of battery, but personally i don't believe it.
Use program BetterBatteryStats and see what's keeping your mobile phone awake, and also install CPU Spy to see on what frequency is your phone mainly working.

Something is eating my battery

Hi everyone,
I got my Nexus 7, so I thought I could ease on the HOX a bit, but I found that something is still running rampant in the backgroundm but I can't find what it is, even using GSam Battery Monitor. Screen has only been on for 25 minutes, and already at 43%!
I used the HOX as mobile hotspot this morning in the train, when I arrived at work, it had 80% left. Rest of the day I only used it for the occasional whatsapp. It's not even closing time for work now, and it's close to 40%, so something is eating the battery, but I can;t find what!
See enclosed screenshots, I would love to hear some advice!

Kernel, but who knows why?
Also, your crappy mobile signal on the way to work when you had no WiFi... It didn't like that much.

yeah I can get into that, but I don't get why, at the last part, the screen isn't turned on, but it the kernel is switched on ALL the time, I guess something must be running rampant in the background. I've just started going to apps and force stopping a lot of things to be sure...

Try using watchdog, it tells you which app which above threshold, gsam never tells u what the kernel was upto. U can also try better battery stats and check kernel wake locks.

Thanks, I hadn't heard of watchdog yet, installed it! I will buy better battery stats when things get really out of hand

Wakelocks problem

Hello everybody, I have a really annoying problem. I'm in cm10 nightly, latest version, and with ncx kernel.
I spend some days like this and my battery was not really good, I could get 3 hours on screen on like to much when I saw people have 4... so I decided to install the better batery stats app to watch if any app or something was drain my battery and I discover this strange wakelock about gtalk, I didn't understand why that was happening if I don't use talk, so I unnistalled it but the wakelock was still in there, in fact this screenshot is after uninstall it and some rebooted.
This morning I change the ROM to slim,but the wake lock was in there as well,so I can back to cm10.
Can anyone help me please?? I really do know what's happening...
Thank you very much!!

You need to check this after at least running the phone from full charge for a few hours. Ten mins is not enough to get an accurate picture. It may lead you to wrong conclusions.

Yes I knew, but I took this pictures after all day with the same wakelock, but I tried lots of time to reboot and wipe cache and it didn't have any effect, is for that I took the picture and I ask, cause it was the all day and today is being the same...
Please anyone know what is it? Thanks

Disable automatic back up in privacy settings. This is a cm10 related wake lock.
Also your audio out wake locks are high, disable un needed sounds in the sound settings like screen lock sound etc.

Thanks for the audio, I didn't think about it lol
And back up was the first I disabled but the wakelock was still in there....

Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I think i discovered what's the problem. That wakelock is simply because, like you can see in the picture,I'm connected with data connection but don't have Google services connection(know that because I was reading when the icon of connectivity, doesn't matter if WiFi or data, is grey you are not connected to Google)
I realised because I've have connected to Google services for a moment and this wakelocks disappeared.
So now I have another problem, why dont I have connection to Google services when connected by data? Even if I go to my Google account and sync it manually it connect and sync the gmail and everything but the icon is still grey and there are no connection... Because when WiFi I have and this wakelocks is not in there...
Please anyone know how to do?? Thanks you very much!!

In the beginning I tried just cm10 Rom and in everyone of them it was that problem, and after y flash sense toms as well and exactly the same.. and yes, I asked in the ROM posts but nobody reply me, so its for that I asked in here.

Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

From your posts it looks like you have a problem when off WiFi. It could be your data network. Are you sure you are using a radio with matching ril? That could cause connectivity issues.
Alternatively, Do a fresh install after full wipe of a sense based rom or go back to your stock Rom. Sync your contacts etc and then disable all Google related sync and then run better battery stats after a decent interval to see what wake locks you get.

Just to clarify whether its your radio causing issues, do this and tell us your results:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril&hl=en
Its called GetRIL and checks your RIL against your Radio version, if they don't match then thats probably your issue. If they do then sorry I couldn't help.

Thanks mates, I downloaded the app and see that but I didn't understand really good, I have the radio matching ril, so what's that means? Thank you again!!
Edit: and what I have to do? Download and install ril or not necessary cause its matching ril??thanks

I guess its not your radio so you will need to do it the hard way. Use a process of elimination to see which app is causing the wake locks.
Would strongly recommend that you run better battery stats after charging the phone to full and using it for the full day.

Rooting and unlocking is huge if you want battery improvements. Removing apps such as google+ will help with battery drain and the ROMs we have out now also have scripts and other battery enhancements.
