I have an issue with my cappy running Cog 4. Out of the blue, applying the traditional calibration process (full-on, un plug-off to charge when off, turn-on & wipe stats) gets stock with the phone off. This is happening with Cog 4.1 and 4.2.
The battery will be charging for ever when the phone is off, even when the phone shows 100%/full status when on. Wiped stats twice, played with different kernels and result will be always the same. Never full charge when the phone is off.
I haven't put this question in the Cog Q&A thread, because it seems is not rom related. Suggestions are welcome
Try another ROM. Andromeda is very good on battery and the indicators work well.

Thank you AdamOutler, may give it a try, although I have been using Cog since Dec. and I am very happy with it. I believe that the battery calibration is not related to the rom you are using... but believe is different than certain, that is why a posted the question.

I am facing a rather "cruel" issue with my phone of late.
I am unable to calibrate my battery ever since I installed 2.2.1 based ROM. It goes upto 98% properly, and then within a minute or two shows me the "charged" message. When I pull the charger plug out, it immediately falls back to 98%.
I tried charging fully with phone on, then off, wiping battery stats using both sgs tools and CWM console more than half a dozen times till now, but am still facing this issue.
I even tried changing the battery, but even then am facing the issue. Also tried the total discharge and total charge method.
Could anyone help me please.
Note: I tried like 2 different 2.2.1 based ROMs.
in another thread someone mentioned it being a bug with all 2.2.1 roms. I'm dealing with it too. Best thing to do is use a battery theme that doesn't show the percentage that way its not bugging you. 1-2% means nothing.

Oh. Thank you ninjuh. So I think I would go back to 2.2 based ROM and wait till 2.2.1 is fully fixed.
Known issue 2.2.1. i would expect a fix eventually
Sent from me
I got this app called "Battery Booster" from market y'day. I started it, and put the screen "never off" and then had it on charge. It took like a good 20-30 mins to come from 98 to 99 to 100. And then it came to "charged". It stayed at 100% after I pulled the cable off.
But then, it was back to normal 98% behavior when the turned the app off.
One thing I could notice was that, once the charge hit 98%, and the turned off the screen, the "charged" message comes in under a minute. But with screen on, it took more than 20 mins.
Thread can be closed.
Looks this is a known non-issue in 2.2.1 and some latest kernels to help avoid battery overcharging.

Just edit your title to [SOLVED] Unable to calibrate battery on 2.2.1 based ROMs
Thank you sir.
Hey guys,
the day before yesterday i flashed Darky's 9.5 on my phone.
This is the first Darkys version for me. The flashing was fine and very easy but then i got big problem regarding the Wlan battery use.
First i tell you how i flashed Darkys, perhaps i did a failure here.
1) First i flashed Darkys Reserrection Version on my phone
2) After that i configured the Darkys App from the market and flashed the reserrection.zip with CWM
3) At the end i flashed Darky's 9.5 with CWM
Now the points regarding my problem.
Yesterday night i switch off my phone with at least 85% battery. I switched off GPS,Bluetooth and i deactivated the data transfer mode for UMTS. But it was my intention to test the battery drain with active WLAN, because with the original T-Mobile Firmware the phone uses circa 25% battery a night.
But when i woke up i was really shocked. My phone turned off and the battery was complete empty. In this night the battery drained 85%. How is this possible? There were no apps running excepting the Advanced Task Killer.
Did i something wrong? (When i flashed the battery was fully charged)!!
//edit
Here are my settings:
PDA: I9000XWJS8
Phone: I9000XXJVE
CSC: I9000XXJS1
Kernel: DarkCore 1.0
I wouldn't think this was a common issue. Have you tried just re-flashing the ROM again via CWM? Maybe try the same thing again?
Thx for your answer.
Yeah i even think that it's not a common issue.
I will watch the battery this night. If the bug occurs again, i will flash the Rom with CWM again. Have i to disable the lagfix or can i do it on the fly without changing something in the current system ? If yes, where?
my battery is the best its been in a long while since using this rom so i wouldnt dismiss it just yet. what modem are u using?
I use the modem Darky's App Configurator has recommend (JQ1 but i have read that JVE is flashed (se my settings above)). But i think I will try flashing again. This night the battery drops from 100% to 47% with the same settings I mentioned above. Then i watched the battery usage, but they were strange.
Wifi and "Wifi using" uses 100% cause they were running the whole time. But the category "execution" used 75%, so the phone did not drop into sleep mode for about 75% of the whole night? How is this possible? I checked all my 3rd party apps I installed on my own and they don't have a setting to manage this.
Does one app of Darky's Configurator do this?
Well Darky can answer question best .
Me i blame the rom change the rom .
jje
Now i flashed Darkys 9.5 with wipe again.I will watch the battery drain and I will notify you about the result.
//edit
Now I go asleep and I will report tomorrow if the flash was successfull. But I got one question left:
By accident I saw in the wireless setting window that my phone scans every 5 seconds for new devices, even if its connected to my own router. (If the phone goes to standby the WLAN does not scan cause of my settings). But why das it scan every 5 or 6 seconds, even if it's connected to my own device?? Is it possible to increment the scan time?
Good morning guys,
here is my update:
I think the reflash worked. Last night my phone uses 10% battery with wifi and data transfer on, gps and bluetooth off. I think this is a good value.
By using the flightmode the next times I will save some more
Now there is the question left regarding the number of wifi scanns. (see the post above). Is it modifiable ?

If you don't mind me asking: what modem do you use? And how long does your battery usually last for?
Thanks

Did you recalibrate your battery after upgrading to Darky's 9.5?
It is recommended that u recalibrate your battery when you flash a new ROM.
You shoukd recalibrate your battery, i.e. drain it, turn off your phone and fully charge it, completely drain it (use it heavily). Then charge it again and voila, recalibrated!
Also, I find that after flashing a new ROM the battery drains really quick the first 2 times I charge it, before actually working as it should. So it's not that strange that your phones battery was dead in the morning. But I think this also has to do with recalibrating the battery.
Darkys v9.5 has a battery life of 3-4 days for me (not heavy usage) so it should be better after recalibrating your battery!

so this issue has been happening for about a week now. i didnt flash or do anything with my phone during this period of time. it just randomly started happening.
the issue : for example. my battery is at 20%. if i start charging my phone, the battery goes up to 98%, however the battery starts dropping(while charging) until it hits 87% and stays at 87 the whole time.
I've been noticing that it always goes up until 98. and also it always drops til 87.
any fixs for this issue?
Old batter? Did you try recalibrating it?
What kernel do u use?
recalibrating didnt help.
and im currently using the talon kernal.
Sent from my Galaxy S captivate
Well talon is known for that, it has the accurate battery mod .Calibrating ur battery might help, if not the latest talon 0.5.2.4 has the battery drivers of i896 and it seems like it's back to what it was in the past --> charges the battery 'till 100% and stays there, but upon disconnecting the cable it will drop to xx% (good old gb charging bug)
Go back to Talon 0.5.2.3

So it seems that my phone won't stay on when fully charged. If i leave it plugged in, once it gets to 100% it will shut itself off. I recently upgraded to CM10.1 nightly and have tried 3 different days. I've also found something about using setCPU, but that didn't seem to help either. Also, i can't turn it back on unless it is unplugged from the wall.
To make things worse, i noticed today that when i turned it back on (it turned itself off over night), it was at only 7% battery life. So now i have no idea what is going on.
Thoughts??

SoD.
There are quite a few things that can trigger it (like deep idle) but first I'd need to know what changes/mods you made.
So i was running CM 7 when decided to finally update to 10.1 nightly. That was major change and it started happening. Last night i downloaded setCPU, and configured that to keep minimum @ 200MHz when screen is off (hoping to keep it running and not going into deep sleep).

Did you go back to stock and factory reset first? Also, did you restore any system app or data with TiBu?
Are you running with stock kernel? If so, you could try flashing Semaphore.
I do not have a stock kernel, but it was the same one from when i was using CM7. I also updated from CM7 to 10.1 (no from stock), but i did do a factory reset. ANd no programs were restored, i freshly installed them all from the play store. I will try flashing Semaphore tonight and see how it goes.

Kernels for GB are quite different than for JB 4.2. When you flashed CM10.1, it most likely also flashed their stock kernel. This is what I meant by stock kernel.
any possibility that you've got a battery that is failing? or if the third pin is dirty, the power management chip could do that, even if the battery isn't fully charged. when the battery was at 7 percent after 'charging', what was the battery level before charging.
have you cleaned the batt terminals on both battery and phone?
hope this is helpful.

To make things even more confusing ... every time i reset the phone it comes up with a new battery level (anywhere from 5 to 17 to 60). new battery time?

Heys Guys Im having an issue with my Captivate, its was working fine for the past week. It started giving me problems like battery temps too high, cant charge, had to charge it manually, removing battery & charging it all night. All this happened when im with stock rom latest with leaked 2.3.5
& i did unlock this with changing the 01 digit to 00 in efs file.
From the past 2 days im trying to install CM10,9, 10.1..... after installation it shuts down itself. Not able to use it.
Is there any way around to make this work. If pics are needed i can provide that too.
Thanks
No reply... :/
Some one should have had an issue.

When/how does it happen?
What are the changes/mods you made?
Did you restore anything?
Did you try different kernel settings?
Did you try flashing a different kernel (like Semaphore?) or flashing a different ROM?
I could be asking more questions but really, I dunno what causes it, I can only guess. Also a search in the CM10.1 thread might give you an answer to your SoD <-- Should've been your first step*

Battery temp to high is a big problem. Did you overcloak? Have you running bunch of stuff at the same time?
When it shuts down, does it reboot by itself or you have to do it manually?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Sounds like Battery health status does not equal healthy. That forces an immediate shutdown, whether due to temperature or excessive internal resistance. That's because once a Li ion battery reaches critical temperature, it combusts and destroys your phone, burns you and anything around it, etc.
GET ANOTHER BATTERY ASAP.
Stop trying to circumvent high temperature shut down.

Recently i bought a new battery, original samsung make, it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high". No overclocking here, just used to call, receive & wifi hotspot. Currently i charge battery in a battery charger & use it in phone.
U pointed out something right, sometimes screen just goes blank, i have to manually switch it on.

I think it's not CM related but hardware related. Does this happen when not using the wifi hotspot too?
I'm thinking your battery is bad (even if new), charger is bad, connection is bad (maybe from water/humidity) or that your usb port is bad. No easy way of finding it other than testing.

May be yes, the phone some times just goes blank, i have to manually switch ON. The same battery works well in my frnds phone quite well.
Port dont know, i can copy files no errors even now when i plug it in on stock gingerbread the battery doesnt charge but can copy files as before.
Since the batt works well in other phone, a couple of ideas. Perhaps silly to ask, but just checking:
did you wipe battery stats in cwm after flashing?
did you clean the phone's battery terminals with a bit of alcohol?
what's the battery health,temperature and voltage history look like, if you can get it. you can log it with battery monitor widget or similar app. set to short 1 minute interval for testing.
