I s-offed and rooted my son'sdinc2. I flashed the debloated rom by rmk. Since then my phone only charges to 50 percent. Then starts going down. I cleared the battery stats and nothing seems to work. Is this an issue with the battery being defective?. If not is there w way I can calibrate the battery? Or lastly should i just see if Verizon will give me a new battery?. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Did you fully charge the battery before clearing the battery stats? That seems strange that it would only charge to 50%, are there any other battery related errors that its given you?
No it's my son's phone so i was paying attention then he told me yesterday that his phone was not changing. I kept it on make any the charger all day yesterday and it would only get to 50 percent and start to drop. If i unplugged the phone it would drop even faster. I checked what was using the battery and the display was at 88 percent but the phone was in sleep mode so it did not make any sense. I'm going to go to Verizon today to see if the will give me another battery. Thanks for your response
Hi!
I installed blackout ICS incredible in my DHD. Everything went well but I wanted to calibrate my battery.
So I downloaded Battery Calibration by NeMa from Google play. Before calibration my batterylife was about 12-24h depending on my use.
Now after the calibration my batterylife is about 5h!! And the same usage as I have always had, couple of calls, net surfing and maybe a little of Angry Birds and spotify.
Did I do something wrong or is my battery dead? My DHD is about 2 years old.
According to Google calibrating your battery (erasing your battery stats) doesn't actually do anything, so it shouldn't have made your battery life shorter. You could install BetterBatteryStats from a thread here on XDA to see if something else is eating your battery. Look at alarms and wakelocks.
Ok, thanks. I installed the BBS and I'll tell the alarms and wakelocks here if I don't find anything funny about them...
bananagranola is right.

calibrating your battery basically tells your OS how much batter it has or doesn't have. IF you flash a rom at less than 100% battery, then the max amount of battery your OS thinks it has might be different from how much your phone actually has. Sometimes this can affect battery life.
The other thing is, did you calibrate at 100%, then unplug immediately? If not, that might trick your OS into burning your battery so quickly.
Otherwise, 12hrs to 24 hours is super amazing, I'm a semi heavy user, and I'll only be able to get 12-14 hours of semi serious use (8 hours standby, 2 hours on off usage, some of that at 100% brightness when i'm outside, and lots of music), end of that I have only 32% left. 24 is pretty amazing, I wouldn't be complaining :laugh:
Well when you simply reboot new stats are generated.

Ok, so I have had today the BBS running on the background. I tried one thing in afternoon, I switched of Wifi. Wifi was off about 3h and when I came back to home I switched wifi back to on. I have still 70% battery!! and about 12h without charging.
BBS alarms:
android, wakeups:83 (Is this much?)
com.google.android.gsf, wakeups:56
com.android.settings, wakeups:13
and the rest of them is under 10
BBS Kernel Wakelock:
wlan_rx_wake: 14m18s
PowerManagerService: 10m57s
and rest is under 4mins
BBS Partial Wakelocks:
AudioOut_3: 3min16s
Twitter sync: 1m56s
BBS Other:
Deep Sleep is about 10.5h
Wifi On/running is about 6h
Is there something wrong or is there something that uses too much battery? Could the battery be "damaged" due it's about 2 years old now?
Sorry for stupid questions but I find it very annoying that sometimes battery life is 5h and sometimes it's way more than 12h with same usage.

What you've got looks fine (which makes sense, since you had good battery life this time). Keep BBS installed. If/when battery life starts tanking, take a look at BBS and see if anything else pops up. If you've got more questions then feel free to post again here.
Although you might miss the customizations of the roms, aospX has great and I mean great, battery life.

Hello,I have a problem with my HOX, the battery percent is not updating correctly,for example I let the screen on for like 30 minutes and I have NO BATTERY DRAIN, then it suddenly decreases by lets say 10%. This happens all the time on different kernels and roms and I have no idea why. Is my battery damaged? Is there any way to fix this? I calibrated the battery a few with no apparent result. Any oppinons or advices are greatly appreciated.

Ye you have to put in a new battery. I got recently a new smartphone with a 2600mAh battery and its so awesome ! It drains like 1% in 8hours every night and screen on time of 7-8 hours.
My old HOX battery was crap compared to this, I could literally watch it drain when using mobile network (1% every 3mins on mobile internet) even when it was completely new.
HOX drained on airplane mode up to 10% every night lol.
I don't know no how many of you guys are facing this issue but earlier I was able to get 7 to 8 hours of screen on time and my battery was not drained by cell standby but now the battery is draining very fast and I am only able to get 4 to 5 hours of screen on time and the horrible thing is is when I check battery usage then the cell standby drain is higher than screen on time help me please I always look for you guys for help . Any help will be appreciated thank you in advance
Hey, what is your reception like? Are you using 4G?
Hi,
I'm observing a high idle battery drain on my OP7T,a drain of ~2% per hour of standby with wifi on.
Can anyone help me understand what must be causing this, and how to fix it?
