[Q] Sedio 3500 mah problem?

I think there is a problem with my 3500 mah battery from sedio. I have had it for a few months now and it really wasnt what i expected. I had heard people who have had 2-3 days + battery life from one charge when i cant even get 24 hours on a single charge with out playing a game or using gps. Im running sky raiders 3.5 right now.
Is that bad? Should i try and get in contact with sedio? Any other tips.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
For example today:
13hrs since unplugged. 29%
awake 4.5 hours
That sucks right?

That is pretty bad. I'm at 12 hrs 50 mins since unplugged, 3 hrs 15 mins screen on, on stock battery. What kernel do you have?

I have to admit i am pretty new to all this stuff, just a couple of months in so i wouldnt know how to change my kernal but im sure i could figure it out if i had to.
Heres what i got:

There are all kinds of things you can do to extend your battery life but by far the simplest is to turn your screen down to quarter brightness and turn off the auto adjustment.

You need to reset your battery.
Step 1
charge the phone while turned off till the light turns green. Unplug but do not turn on then after about twenty or so seconds plug it back in and the light will be Orange again wait till its green.
Step 2
Once the charge light is green for a second time boot the phone into cwm and clear battery status. Make sure phone is still plugged in
Step 3
After you clear the batter status reboot the phone making sure that you do not unplug it . as soon as you're able to open up your app drawer once the phone has rebooted then unplug it.
Step 4
Do not charge your phone again until the battery dies and the phone shuts off.
After this you are done

For the longest time I was convinced the eBay-generic 3500mAH that came with the phone when I bought it online was faulty because it seemed I was getting identical results from my stock battery even after wiping battery stats. But now after running the battery for a week or so continuously and not swapping out to the stock battery it seems to yield much better life now that I calibrated the phone to this battery and left it in for a while.

[Q] CM (and others?) battery meter complete screw-up

My battery never charges above ~76% when plugged in. After rebooting however, it is very much at 100% and lasts for a good amount of time. This is not necessarily a question, but I wonder if others are experiencing this too and if there is a fix? Read below.
I noticed that my battery life got very bad after installing custom roms. I also found out that this happened because I sometimes kept the phone plugged in while flashing, something that totally screws up the battery reading. So, I followed this guide to calibrate my battery and it worked.
Now, whenever the phone is plugged in it NEVER goes to 100% when charging. Maybe 80% if leaving it for a while (10 hours overnight). I'm worried about frying the battery. Is there a fix?

It is only a matter of presentation. It actually doesn't mean your batt is broken. Plug it and charge it overnight. Then discharge only for few percent and plug it back in. It should go to 100%.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
What I'm concerned about is if the phone "thinks" the battery isn't recharged and keeps squeezing juice into it when in fact it is full (which a reboot will show)? That's not good for the battery. It should go into trickle charge after reaching 100%..

The process described in the desire forum is also known as formatting the battery. In fact most of battery manufacturers (lithium battery manufacturers) recommend doing this in a slightly different way:
Before first use:
1.) Before powering the device on, plug it in and let it charge until the LED is green (fully charged)
2.) Then take the battery out of the device and wait an hour (to make sure all the chemical processes in the battery are as idle as possible)
3.) Then plug it back in, while still off and let it charge untill green LED
4.) use the device....
You can practice this slightly modified with first step being:
Discharge the battery (by normal use)until only few percent are left (1 - 5 % are OK)
I've done these steps with my Mugen extended battery and I was getting around 4 - 5 days on Legend, now I'm getting 2 - 3 days on Desire S, but the ROM isn't very optimized yet, I believe it will be better in time...

Just one thing... Why is this in Development!?

No Idea.....
can mods move this?

sz1a did this solve your problem? Have the same problem with every firmware i've tried....

Definitely did not solve it but at least the battery performance is ok. It just stays at 78% for a few hours drops from there. Very weird but as long as the battery doesn't get broken I guess it's ok.

Do you have some 3rd party battery installed in your Legend? I have one 1,5 Ah in mine and it is acting the same way. It doesn't bother me too much coz it was cheap... it lasts 48 hrs with data always on and moderate usage. I noticed this that when I charge it overnight and it reaches 80%, unplugging it stays at 80% for several hrs and just after it starts dropping if I plug it again, meter reaches 100%. It's weird but as I said I can live with that

I've got exactly the same issue with stock 2.2 ROM. I've never rooted or CM my phone; I was wondering if CM would do it, but doesn't look like it.

(sorry, I can't post links; maybe an admin can fix the link for me?
This seems to indicate it's a phone hardware fault and requires a new Legend to fix! My big worry is, as stated, that the charging light never goes green; therefore is pumping lots of power into a potentially full battery.

Strange Battery issues

Ok so last night i connect my phone to the charger it has 16 percent battery left i went to bed got up 6 hours later it only charged 3percent from what it was at .
I plug the phone in at work charges from 19 percent to 32 percent go take the phone off the charger it drops to 16 percent.
last month I changed the charging cable and even purchased a new battery as i was experiencing the exact same issues up until I replaced the battery and cable but now the issue is back.
i was running Cyanongen mod 9 Nighties but have been using version 10 alphas since then.
Anyone know what to make of this?

What kind of battery is it? Not one of those cheap Chinese fakes is it?
Battery would be my prime suspect anyway. Not if its a samsung or polarcell or suchlike though. Do you have another one or know anyone with same phone to lend you one to check?
GT-I9000 / SEMA / SLIMBEAN2.3

I had the same problem on CM10 nightly once, started charging below 20% and the next morning it didn't go above 30%.
Then I just rebooted and the battery indicator showed 100%! Seems like some bug in the battery info thing, since after the reboot the battery lasted as long as every other day.
So just try rebooting, if that does not help your battery might indeed be defective.

try charging the phone while its turned off to 100%
and then wipe battery stats from recovery

Sudden battery drain when at 10% and below

Recently I noticed sudden battery drain when 10% and below. It takes a couple of minutes while browsing or watching youtube battery goes down to 4% and then in a bout minutes goes down 1% and off. I am not sure when it started but my guess after JB 4.2 update. I am on three UK network.
Thanks

Don't know if it would help but you can try to calibrate the battery (actually the displaying of the percentage).
Charge your battery until it's full when the phone is on.
Disconnect it from charger.
Turn phone off.
Plug in charger and charge it until the LED turns green.
Disconnect charger, turn phone on and use it as usual (my desire needed a full discharging and charging cycle after that)

That's what I was thinking battery display might be off the rails a bit.
I will do it on the next charge then. Other than that battery does great job. 24h+

I get this aswell, on android revolution 12. It goes from 8% down to 1% and bam my phone is off. Really annoying

This exact same thing happened to me earlier today (ARHD 12.1). Very annoying. Is it a rom thing, or a battery calibration deal..?

i cant be sure, but it happened to me one time, so i use and app from playstore to calibrate the battery, and now it is ok,

Mine does the same thing, but it quickly goes from 5% to 1%. I assumed this was a normal feature to prevent the battery from draining completely, which is something you usually don't want to let happen. If that's the case though, HTC should have taken that last 5% into consideration when calibrating the battery.

I suggest you all should try that calibrating method and if that won't work, it's probably a defect of your phones

Has anyone else had any success at all with this
I'm running 4.3 GPE rom and I get excactly the same thing here, I don't think I had this before .... I've tried recalibrating the battery, doesn't make any difference, so frustrating.....

In your case I think it's just a calibration issue. I personally had the same issue with ARHD but it settled with 5-6 charging cycles.

Battery discharge to sub 97 upon unplugging

hey everyone , my phone's battery drops to 95-98% within a few minutes after i unplug it from the charger when the green LED shows up. I've tried battery calibration apps and everything but it didn't help, i've also charged my phone by keeping it powered off and that still hasnt solved the issue, i've read on some forums that the battery in many phones doesnt charge to 100% completely for the health of the battery, is it true? is this issue normal? i've also tried charging my phone to 100% when powered on, then i turned it off and charge it till green LED, and then turned it on and it gave 100% battery life. Most of the time , restarting my phone puts the level back to 100 or 99 %, is there a fix for this or is this normal? I'm currently running Android Revolution HD ROM on 4.4.2 KitKat. Any help will be much appreciated, thanks
