Hello I have this problem where the stats are wrong(or so I think...). Besides that, I had my phone charged to 100% and after half an hour it got to 70% (guessing it wasn't actually at 100, maybe just a bug). I included a picture.
EDIT: Now the battery appears to be full, screen now consuming 100%. Another weird thing I found is that there is no more charging symbol on the battery icon. I'm still plugged in tho. Included another pic.
Couldn't add the pic, so here goes:

Is anyone else having a problem with the touch pro 2 not charging fully when it is off. I have the Tilt2 and have tried many different ROMs. For whatever reason if i charge the phone while it is off, it only charges to around 96% or less. I do have the 1% battery driver installed and i can not figure out for the life of me why it will not fully charge. If i leave the phone on, it charges to 100% but at some point i get a message telling me it disconnected from the connection. Can anyone help. Thanx
Same issue :-(
me too. Same problem
There's been several threads on this. The general consensus is the battery stops charging when it reaches 100%, and then begins to discharge. I've noticed the same behavior but haven't found a fix.
Very odd
The weird thing is that I have charged my phone while it is off and one morning I wake up and turn it on and it is at 91% then the next morning it will be at 100% then the next morning itll be 86%. I usually turn it off around the same time and turn it on around the same time. I cant see it starting to discharge if there is only an hour possible time difference. REALLY annoying lol
Icon issue with charging and Battery level
I have an odd issue. I am running the stock ATT rom until I can get the stupid phone to take the HardSPL (different issue being worked on).
The icon at the top shows the battery at full capacitiy all the time. I have Phone alarm on and it has a battery indicator that shows it as low as 20% while battery icon is still 4 bars full. Also there are times when I remove it from the usb and the charging icon stays on instead of showing the battery icon. If I soft reset then it seems to go to normal and the charging icon is replaced by battery which seems to always show full.
ok my battery has good days and bad days. I have now tried something different and it seems to have worked for me. When I wake up in the middle of the night and the light is green i unplug my phone from charger. Then when i wake up four to five hours later it is usually around 95%. In the past I let it charge till I woke up then I would send a text or two a quick call or check email and it would drop to 88% or 90% in minutes. But now that I leave it unplugged for about five hours I get up and do what I usually do and battery doesn't seem to drain as quick. My question is why does this happen???? Strange that before it would go from 100 to 90ish real quick. now i start off at 95% and battery drains slower.
My battery is absolutely horrible. I unplugged it today n within minutes it was down to 93% n i didnt even use it at all. I have GPS turned off, wifi is off, 4G is off, friendstream is gone, i have everything set up to sync manually so idk wat the deal is.
If you are running a custom Rom you should do a search in the dev section for how to calibrate your battery.
it is stock rom. I have tried every battery trick. you could think of even the one someone posted from htc. none have work but for some reason this seems to be giving me better battery life. and i am just wondering why and sharing for other people to maybe try.
nothing new under the sun. a search would have revealed the following posts...

it sounds like voodoo, but based on the battery graphs before and after...it worked for me. the upgrade to 1.47 and 2.5 baseband seemed to help quite a bit too.
Strange battery design
OK it seems odd that the EE's who designed the phone specified a 4.2 volt charging cut off to the battery, and a 3.5V battery. It was probably to limit the heat production by components regulating internal voltage.
SO we can either up the charging cut off by rewiring a charger to use the feed but not the sensor ( 4 tabs on a battery), or get a battery rated a a slightly higher voltage ( which would only be partially charged due to the HTC charging algorthym). It may be that the recycling on /off specified by HTC ignores the sensor reading.
I recently had a problem with the battery of my Defy, shows that this charged and stops charging even at 95%. I tried calibrating the battery, with the app and the same from the recovery, and removing the battery.
I can't think what else to do. Help Please!!
Edit, i'm on CM7.1
Have you tried wiping battery stats from recovery??

have been facing the same problem right since the day i upgraded to CM7..but what i have observed is that even though it says that the battery is fully charged @ 95%, it still keeps on charging...check after half and hour and it goes upto 100%..yes, but when u start using the handset after charging, this 5% comes down very fast!
Im having the same problem with the first 10% of the battery disappeared really quickly? Im on standard rom 2.2.2.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Just my observation... In Defy though the hardware is capable of 1% reporting of battery state the software is configured to assume near values. For Example 25% to 34% is considered 30% and 35% to 44% is considered as 40%. Hence when the battery reaches 95% it assumed 100% and reported as fully charged. But if you don't unplug the phone the charging will continue to 100%. In my Defy I don't see any significant difference in drain other than the first 1%. To know the exact charge I use ledefy with LED indication. Ledefy can be configured to change the colour of LED at exact 100%.
yeah, but now it goes up to 100%, i think its solved, but if this persist i'll report the issue to cyanogenmod forums...
thanks for the info pprakash
One thing I found that showed an accurate battery % is Android Circle Battery Widget.
This showed my battery % to 1% accuracy (1% 2% 3% rather than 90, 80, 70, 60 etc)

LEDEFY also have similar notification. It can display the same in the notificatin bar saving space on the screen or if you are having customer rom you can use a different framework-res.apk which can display 1% values ( This is my case for exact values ).
Try clean the battery stat created by older ROM, and use Battery Calibration free app which you can find easily on the market to calibrate ur battery... i think that would help
Whenver i flash a new rom, i make it a point to use BatteryCaliberation from Market.
Though since the last couple of times, I have noticed a weird thing.
Whenever i let the battery charge, it stays on a particular % for too long,
in my case (most of the times), its 60% or 72%. And then directly jumps to 100%. (this 100% is confirmed by the mV in BatteryCaliberation.
And while discharging, it goes to 0%. Then when i remove the battery and power on, it shows 2% (Although one time , it went to 20% )
Is my battery broken and should i replace it? (It has been giving me crappy battery life too)
i've got this, always charges up to 70-80% and stays there for a while, then jumps to 100%, changing roms, calibrating battery doesn't fix it.
Always wondered why it happened, I assume it's to do with the battery but not sure if faulty or not, hopefully someone can shed a bit of light...
First guys The battery calibration has been shown to be pointless and useless. Dont bother doing it. Next if you ever do bring a battery to pure 0% then it will bot boot at all. The issue could be many things. From a bad battery to just the way your device charges. As long as it last a decent amount of time then you may be able to rule out the battery being bad. I wouldnt worry about it unless you see the battery discharging really really fast.
Try to go into recovery and wipe battery stats, and then discharge it to 0 % until it won't turn on and fully charge it 0 ma on current widget. it happened to me many times and this is how i fixed it (old problem on hd2 on android nand)
Hello,
I've read the threads about battery in the desire, BATT FIX with new kernels etc but can't really find a definite answer for my problem.
I bought my phone 18 months old and from the beginning it has shut down at about 20%. Tried the battery thing with charging, on/off, charing again etc, wiping battery stats etc but it doesn't seem to matter. So, I thought I'd just buy a new battery and be done with it.
The new battery arrived yesterday (actually, it's a used battery from customer returns but seller tells me it's been tested to be in mint condition). So this battery shows 3% when I first start up with it, "good, this seems to work" I think. But when at 75% the charger indicator (LED light) all of a sudden turns green and battery % jumps straight to 100%. I do the battery calibration trick with on/off charge and wipe battery stats. Stuck at 100% for some time as reported by others trying this "trick", have been using it all day and it shuts down at 25% even worse than the other battery...
The best voltages I've seen on this supposedly new battery is 4,144 and somewhere above 3.5 (nowhere near 3.2 and 4.2). What strikes me as odd is that I get very close to the same values with my old battery so I'm starting to think that maybee both battery are good but the phone reports way wrong values...is this possible?
Battery life with phone and data connection on, 1 gmail account but disabled backup feature (no GPS, BT etc) gives me -5% after 10 hours standby and I can use the phone for browising, light gaming for about 3 hours and 40 minutes before it dies (more or less constant usage at very low autobrightness levels and Turbo 3G enabled).
If someone has some insight into this it would be really helpful before I contact the eBay seller for this particular battery.
Regards, Olle
Same thing
My phone shuts down at 35% now... Is that a problem with the chipset or what? Only with Alex-V's calibrated kernels my phone shuts down at 0%, and sometimes it decalibrates too, but after calibration is Okay. I wonder if i need a new battery or my chipset has issues.
