Battery indicator shows "Unknown"

Hi guys !
May be someone could help me with this.
Since the original Diamond battery was too "small" I've ordered an enhanced battery, 1800 mAh, from Easy Devices UK.
Everything went fine with my 1.37 ROM.
But then, after upgrading to the 1.93.831.1 WWE ROM, I have the following problem: the battery indicator shows a battery with an exclamation sign on it and when I go to "Settings\System\Power", instead of displaying the remaining battery charge, it only displays "Unknown"!
This happens only with the 1800 mAh battery (with the 900 mAh one, it works fine).
The 1800 mAh battery can be normally charged (but I have to guess when it's full, because I have no indicator) and then normally used (but , I don't know how much is left, which is very unpleasant.
Did anyone of you have this ? Is any way around ?
Thanks,
Matei

Hi guys !
Exactly the same issue for me (except I have never tested it on original ROM, directly on a new SwiftBL cooked ROM). battery bought from GPSForLess via eBay.
As MateiF said, it's seem it's a ROM issue as battery works correctly on 1.37 ROM.
So, does-it exist a workaround or a special file/driver for new 1.93 ROM ?
TIA

Hi guys!
I have exactly the same problem with an Offical ROM upgrade!
would be great if someone could help us out, as its a pain in the backside not knowing how long your battery will last for!!

I'm having the same problem with a 2400 mah battery...

Got the same prob but wit added pain onto it
I too got the same above mentioned problem but added pain is that when my battery is over completely then it wont boot my phone on recharging and jus keep the phone on restart again and again.
Then i have to remove my battery off the phone and charge it on some external charger then only my phone can boot up.
Any suggestion for it.
Tx in advance

Battery Icon doesn't work

Hello,
I'm building a ROM but the only thing is that my battery icon doesn't work.
When my battery is 100% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 50% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 25% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 10% loaded it gives: Battery icon with 2 stripes
When my battery is 5% loaded it gives: Battery icon with exclamation mark
How to fix this?
Also when I check the registry everything looks ok
[HKLM]\controlpanel\Power
Help please!
Thx

Is there really nobody that can help me?

hi Not sure what could be causing this except a fault in one of the dll files for the battery icon. I would test a different taskbar like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132 this one as it has a number for the battery and you can monitor it better. If all works ok uninstall it and monitor again.
If this does not work i would Hard Rest the phone

batery percentage

hi,
somebody know how i can enable the percentage display in the battery icon in status bar? i had it already activated once but now i cant find the option nowhere in the settings after flashing a new rom.. i thought it was in spare parts but it isn´t there anymore Oo
another thing is that sometimes when i acitvate the screen after sleep i get this weird color error like a negativ image with really strange looking colors.. than i have to put it back to sleepe and wake again and everything is normal again. i had this with lots of different roms so i think maybe it is a faulty display.. any ideas?

You can get battery percentage by downloading Battery indicator from the market.
I got the same problems with my screen only when OC speed is below 245MHZ. Make sure you have got min 384MHZ in sleep mode.

oh ok..
i downloaded the battery indicator but last time i had the percentage showing ion the regular battery symbol in the notification bar. now there are 2 battery icons :/ ..

i'm able to do this in cyanogens roms.. but havent tried on sense-roms, actually..
in cyanogen-roms it's located in spare parts

ok i found it in spare parts after all.. the thing is, spare parts is in the new rom i have (i think its ezhero) in the settings menu. but u can also download spare parts form the market which i did. and in the market version are a few options missing it seems.. well, thanks guys..

[Q] Double battery, double problem

hi , i m running cm7 and i previously had a sgs and sgs 2. on sgs i had 2 batteries and switching beetweens the two i remember that battery life indicator was not so accurate but usable. now i have 3 batteries on my lg dual but when i remove the discharged one to change it with nother one the phone shows me always 0% .... almost unusable. anyone has this prpblem? is there any way to solve it?

You must go to to recovery mode and in advance menu wipe the battery stats.

When removing the battery, wait a while before inserting the new one. That will fix it. If you insert the new one immediately the phone won't realize you've changed battery at all and show the old battery-percentage.

[Q] Battery bug in dark knight 5.5 ? or just me

I seem to be getting about 4.5 hours of battery life (heavy use) . is that normal for a galaxy s or is there something I can do to fix this ?
am using dark knight 5.5
I followed installation instructions to the letter regarding installation.
the phone is a year and a half old as well . should I replace the battery ?
also was wondering if there was any way to bet rid of the back light of the hardware capacitive buttons ???

I had the same issue, but it's working fine for me now, phone is also 1.5 years old.
Few tips:
- Download Battery Calibration Charge battery to 100%, calibrate, unplug phone.
- And also go to the lowest screen brightness as possible.
I doubled my battery life on average use (from 14 hours to about 28 hours) , you should get better results heavy use as well.

problem fixed ! thank you !
hey thanks a bunch sanderpovic .
I figured out my problem . I had already calibrated and brightness is at auto , but the real problem was ns tools . it made the CPU usage maximum by default ! like as if I set the governer to performance ....
I updated ns tools and now seems to be OK
thanks a bunch for replying will try with zero brightness today n see .

The battery is rapidly drained when you use the phone: I must charge twice a day.

Hay IM doing this but it not work for me, but some one suggest me after calibration battery, then use it until 0% n off phone automatically. Then charge phone 100% n then its get less battery drainage. Is it right?
Sorry for my bad English.

yeah by doing that your phone shows you the actual battery .
when you flash roms the battery stats gets corrupted so when you caliber ate the battery the battery stats file gets deleted and the system generates a new one . by letting it fully discharge and recharge to a hundred it gives you a more accurate battery level
simple ans : yeah ....

im gettin sd card scanning error on dark knight v5.5
