Its a protective function of the battery, saving it from overcharging.
2.2 roms dont show the truth. Even if they show 100% the battery is not 100% charged.

In the CM7 FAQs it advises you need to flash a 3 file firmware via Odin to revert back to stock. I tired the way you are asking but it did not work.
Flashing with a 3 file firmware does work
You can get the firmware from samfirmware.com

Yep, you can't flash back via cwm, you need to use a 3 file firmware with repartition checked on odin.
About the battery life on cm7, there are a few things you can do to help:
1) in the wifi advanced settings, turn wifi sleep to "never" as it may prevent the phone from sleeping
2) with the battery full, reboot into recovery and wipe battery stats (also wipe cache/dalvik cache while you're at it)
3) check the battery stats for any app that might be using up the battery in the background and uninstall it
4) make sure you're on the latest nightly
5) use a cm7 kernel that supports undervolting and undervolt your phone
6) lower the brightness, disable gps/wifi/bluetooth when you don't need them
and yes, the 97% battery is perfectly normal, have you read the FAQ?...

Thanks for the help I'm a noob to.android. Also it never reads my external sd card any ideas? I formatted it and everything else I can think of

External sd card is named "emmc" in cm7.

Hi, I have a huge problem with my phone.

So I rommed and rooted the phone,last night I charged it up to 100% percent (i did the battery callibration a few days ago) and today morning I woke up and I found my phone (I turned it off for the night) with 0% battery,and it wont charge at all,i tried to wipe the battery data,and it still won't help,any suggestions?
BTW my ROM ver-CM7
and the version of this CM7 is ?
the version is 7-11162011-NIGHTLY
i don't know for sure what build it is, but it should be #20 or the Kang
1. as i believe,there's no way to turn off the phone while it's charging
are you sure it's CM7 and it turned off last night?
2. if the battery show 0% and it won't charging, how did you wipe the data ?
however, try to do a factory reset
i managed to do so in the little time window when i plugged my phone to the charger and it works for like 1.5 minutes thats all i could do,now i was successful of charging my phone but it quickly decharges.
Also my phone doesnt pick up the sd card and im already frustrated
Reflash with newest cm7 build and nova v11c . Also try to do battery reset cwm->advandced >batterystats wipe
I hope this helps
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
can you explain how to i reflash and give me a link for the cm7 build?
thanks!
P.S
Perhaps i should erase everything from my phone and bring it back to android 2.2.2 and then re-do everything again with a different cm7?
Get.cm.com then search for p970 download the zip file i think it's build #24 copy to your sd card and reboot into recovery then press install zip and select the cm7 zip install and try to boot see what happends
Goodluck!

Have you done a factory reset?
If you've done it already,and the battery still drop hard,open the SpareParts -> battery information -> see the battery health
Or you can try to calibrate it (Battery Calibration from market)
Sent from my heart into yours
Try to mount the sd card in cwm that should work

I finally fixed the phone,i have restored it to the previous setting from the date i bought it,and the battery works much better,though it still uncharges preety fast,during the night,11hs from recharging it dropped 20%,i still dont get it,ill try to calibrate but i dont think it will help.
Ill keep you posted.

[SOLVED] P1000 stuck on 32% battery.

Hey guys my tab is stuck on 32% battery since a lot of time. i had charged it all day around 2 weeks ago but still the battery % didnt go up. i had aokp build 29 in my tab then and as i removed the tab from the charger it would go off so i decided to re stock it and followed the overcome guide now also it shows 32% though it works without the charger. what should i do ? it is completely stock now.
Thanks
Edit : Thanks a lot guys . I dont know how but this problem got randomly solved Really appreciate the help . Thanks a lot again .

This should be not a big issue, just wipe battery stats, your tab should be rooted and use battery calibration app, or you can do it from CWM recovery and wipe battery stars.

caliberation from cwm recovery ? where ?

It differs from CWM to another, but it is "WIPE BATTERY STATS" , may be you find it in wipe menu or in the advance menu. By the way 10 days ago I had this exact situation but I wiped battery stats and everything fine now.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
well salahmed has rightly suggested you to wipe battery stats....
but if this doesn't work
try this....
1.keep your phone switched off for 4 hours or so and then again charge it....
2.Or power off your tab and connect the charger to it...the charging battery icon pops up and then press power button and touch the screen simultaneously for some seconds and maybe this should work...
I tried all these three things including battery calibrator app and one of these things worked for me....
wishing good luck....

Galaxy Note stuck at boot animation after battery dies.

Hi,
i was using my Galaxy Note GT-N7000 last night. While texting my phone battery went low and phone turned off.
After sometime i connected my phone to the charge, battery got charge a little bit. when i turned on the phone it got stuck on boot animation logo.
i waited for it for like 2 hours but it wont go further.
My phone is on ICS 4.0.4, I'm using classic rom v4.0 wid abyss kernel.
i didnt install or uninstall anything, its just that battery died.
i need to fix this issue, i don't wanna reflash any other or stuff coz i have hell alot of stuff on it.
Can anybody help me out with getting into my home launcher without flashing any other ROM.
Thank you
Put off the battery for about 1 min, then retry

Just wondering if you're battery is bloated and therefor not holding proper charge? Place it on a table and see if it spins.

I ran the backup by mounting the \data, \system, \cache etc. backup successful, factory wiped and the phone works. I restored the nandroid and its working It's very strange why this has happend.
Thanks for the advice
Fixed!
I made a backup in cwm, factory reset and restored, everything ok now!

Note will not charge

Can someone help me? I’m currently running Criskelo’s ICS V11.2 with CF-LRG. Yesterday i noticed a massive battery drain up to 12% per hour. After charger was connected for a few hours i can’t turn phone on, after 5-10 min phone going on by itself, after starting the Phone going again off. I wipe in recovery but it did not help. It keeps repeating.
First of all I'd say you try other battery saving kernels out there e.g. SpeedMod, if your still getting that battery drain bug, try to go to CWM, wipe dalvik cache and batterystats and charge your phone until it's full. Use it until the battery drains to 5% and charge it to full again. (Do a complete battery cycle is what I mean).
Check back after if your still getting the battery drain issue.
probably the problem is hardware issue ( usb connector).
i have flash other rom other kernel, wiped. nothing. i still can't charge battery over usb. how i can restock (cause of warranty)? no way with ODIN

If you flash any gb with pc Odin use a full wipe version and it'll erase root and cwm. Doesn't matter if it's 3 part or not.

Take out the battery for 1min.
Try removing the battery and then try the 3 button combo to enter download mode. I thing Odin failed because when you tried to install F4 it changed partitions and when you wanted to downgrade to jw4 you did not repartition with 512 pit.
When you enter download mode remember to install the 3 file stock rom with 512 pit and repartition checked.
After installing the stock rom before proceeding with jellybean remember to backup your efs folder ( you can search xda dev how to do that)
I strongly recommend going with Cyanogenmod 10 stable. Its very fast and with the latest semaphore kernel runs like a beast.

after i made it jvu i wanted to make it jw4.. it was doing something else.. i forgot the names now.. and then the screen just went off
removed the battery many times but nothing. i am charging the phone in case it's the battery :/ i closed also odin when i saw it was doing nothing..
i think i did a serious damage on the phone. If it gets fixed i will try cm10.. right now.. nothing :/
I think Odin crashed my phone
because i changed 3-4 custom roms in some hours..
i saw some threads about how to put it back in recovery mode but nothing..
screen is black.. not responding at all : (
I think your battery died in the middle of the flashing process. When you charge the battery does it show the battery indicator charging ?

nothing at all..
Then basically your battery died in the middle of flashing process, you can try with another full battery and try to enter download mode by using the 3 button combo. If it does not it means you have to use a USB jig to access download mode. Once you access download mode remember to have a fully charged battery before flashing

so when the battery dies in the middle of flashing... i can't charge it?
Possibly not, you have to try with a fully charged battery before flashing anyway. I think if you touch the phone while on power and the battery is warm maybe is charging. If there is no sign of life or there is no heat at all maybe is not charging. You still have to try to enter download mode with a fully charged battery, keep trying.

nothing though : /
i don't know what to do
You have to try the dowload mode using an USB jig.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
You can't broke this mode by flashing your phone, if an USB Jig don't work, you really have an hardware problem.
my pc makes sounds when i connect the phone.. then the sound that it got dc'ed
i don't think i will find a jig here.. nor i can make one.
i will give it to samsung service center and pay them..
if it gets fixed
1 week and more without a phone lol
Where you're from..? If you're from holland i have a jig for you... if not you can order one from the internet i paid €3,75 for it
GT-I9001 4.1.2 JB by Invendor
same happened to me
i live in India i have the same problem tried repairing my phone but no result.....i gave it to a repairer he tried the riff box repair but nothing happened....and when i am charging the phone it doesn't heats.... if you get something done please update it on this thread, while i'm trying too
i guess i have to find a shop and buy a jig : P
you can order the jig on ebay... i got one for my phone... in continuation of the discussion going on, my phone is bricked as well... nothing is working... neither the 3 combo button or the JIG... also, when i plugin the charger, no indication is showing up... can anyone please suggest what can be done for this?
I checked with Samsung.. they have asked me to get the motherboard replaced and it will cost around 8K...
