So yesterday I calibrated my battery and was suprised it actually worked. But today I flashed a new rom (for like the 6th time this week, I think I have a problem) Should I calibrate again?

I /think/ it's only when you flash a rom without a fully charged battery.

Well if you have tons of time I don't see why not. Most of the time, I feel that it is not necessary to calibrate the battery. I only do it when there is a severe battery drain.

+1 to this. Please ensure u flash a ROM after u charge the battery to 100%.
I've been looking but have yet to find directions on how to calibrate a battery. Can some one please tell me the ways to do this?

Charge the phone till 100% while it is turned on, disconnect the cable.
Turn it off and charge it till it's 100%, disconnect cable.
Turn it on and off, charge till it's 100% and disconnect the cable.
Now, delete battery stats using CWM or run the following command using ADB or Terminal Emulator:
Code:
su
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
Sorry but what is cwm?

Alright, I am throwing this here.
For some reason when I send a text, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to go out. I thought, well, maybe its the program, just not saying it sent it. But indeed, last night, I sent several texts to my wife, her phone next to mine. The first message I sent was received 5 minutes later. The second one, which I sent within a minute of the first, took 10 minutes. The third, again with in a matter of seconds, took 15 minutes. WTF, right? So I did some homework, and looked into this. I tried Handcent, no go. It must be with in the system itself and nothing related to the program.
Now on the reverse, it takes 15 seconds to receive a message.
I came on the web and did more homework, talk about account sync bogging down the phone, so I cleared that issue. Nope, still got lag. Reboot. Nope. Soft reboot, again, nope. Still lags. Problem with the ROM? Nope, I have seen this issue reported on a stock phone, here in the forums.
My option, as I see it, a factory reset. Please tell me I am wrong. On the plus side, I do a reset, and I take on Verizon's stupid update, and then push Clock and decrap.
Do it in clockwork not from inside android privacy menu. I definitely think its ur phone as I don't think anyone else has this issue. (At least I don't)

Now how do I safely back track to default? flash stock then unroot? do we have the stock programming on the forums?

I occasionally get something similiar. I'll send a text and it stays stuck on sending. Rebooting doesnt help. The only thing that ive found to somewhat fix it is to put the phone in airplane mode.

Indeedy do. Now what would that system have to do with airplane mode? Hmm, my connection is more active on the awakening from the airplane mode. If I send a message, I get it stuck in sending. 5 minutes usually. But it will say I sent it 5 minutes earlier. I froze the stock messenger, lol, 10 minutes.
But when I initially send, I can watch my connectivity to 4g kick, for a second, and then nothing. Surprisingly, even 5 minutes later, it won't budge. But when I kick it out of the airplane mode, it goes nuts communicating with the tower, and completing my last messenging task. There needs to be something that I did when I snagged the rooting, and rom downloads. This didn't happen to me before, and it has happened to no one, currently. So I could go back to stock see what happens, run wifi, and download the root, and rom again and see what happens after that.
Yeah exactly right. Flash stock unroot.

Oh well, I broke it pretty bad, so I downloaded everything to fix it. I went to IRC and waited for someone with a bigger brain than mine to come along. Much to my dismay it was Regn. But mt was not toI far behind. They got me going in the right direction, and Cube came on and sealed the deal. So far everything is working good. I do have one issue with handcent doubling my messages.I cleared out the default, so that doesn't pop up, but handcent is giving me doubles. Thanks again. And I did wreck my phone on purpose, I saw enough threads to know where I was going, just not enough head knowledge to get me all the way there. God bless you guys, even Reg !!lol.

I started getting the double received messages with handcent for some reason. I just recently had changed to gosms, and now use stock and no more doubles with either.

Hello I was wondering if anyone has a guide or something special for the lg revolution on how to calibrate the battery.
Thanks

I downloaded "Battery Calibration" by Marosige from the Market. Have you checked that out?

Another thing you could do is if the phone has CWM on it you can wipe battery stats from there. Just have the phone at 100% then let it die completely and charge back to full charge without interrupting the charge cycle.
i have the charge and this is what i use im not sure if it will help the revo but i dont see why not, its nothing phone specific as long as you can get to recovery
almost forgot to cover my butt. i didnt make this or come up with it. just use it to make my day last longer lol. hope it helps
Anybody that has used this app.. I charged to 100%, clicked on Calibrate, then unplugged. But at about 50% battery an app caused my phone to freeze and couldn't even power+up+down reset. I pulled the battery. Do I have to start over with the calibration? There isn't any indicator on the Battery Calibrator app.
I don't think so
Just read that all these programs do is delete a batterystat file somewhere and Android will rewrite it at times. Thx.

You can clear the battery stat logs in CWR too.

Couldn't you just clear the battery stats in CWM? Or is that entirely different?

Think you guys are talking about he same thing. If what I read about Battery Calibrator is correct then I guess I could just go to CWM and clear the battery stats. Good Call!!!
It is the same

Is it better to clear them when the battery is dead or fully charged? Or does it matter?

You should only do it when fully charged. Charge your phone to 100% then leave it plugged in for another 20 minutes, till it's at around 4200mV. Delete batterystats.bin and it will be replaced during reboot.
Edit: the issue is that your battery will drain in cwm even while plugged in. Battery Calibrate does the same thing only without having to go into cwm.

Is it needed to recalibrate the battery each time you flash a new rom?
Does it increase battery life?
Supercharged GingerVolt B-) R U ?
Would it work to just copy the battery stats file to another rom so u don't have to re calibrate everytime u install one or would that be a bad idea

You don't need to calibrate, just charge it full. Battery stats are automatically wiped when you unplug with a full charge.

Well the new 3500 milliamp battery I got says to fully discharge and charge 4-5 times to get the most out of ur battery. Or is that just for when u first get it

Just when you first get it. Its a "break in" for batteries.

Although I believe that its good to do a full discharge and charge every so often.

Alright that's what I thought. Although while discharging my phone froze up and rebooted so I think ill have to recalibrate again lol

It shouldn't affect battery. I've tested it myself, battery life before and after calibration is no different. This calibration myth was debunked by a google framework engineer.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
ya I read a short thing on that. Kinda odd though. Seems like sometimes u could get a worse battery life some days compared to others. But it also seems like a good idea since u don't have to calibrate every time u do something.

The calibration has nothing to do with the battery life, it just gives a more "exact" reading of the battery level.. I miscalibrated my battery once, and it was at 1% for about 3 hours, then finally died..

Ya that happened to me once. Now I just make a point of being able to fully charge anytime I flash a rom.

I have now been convinced that there is no reason to calibrate your battery at anytime. Google engineer pretty much put it to rest and since then I have flashed repeatedly and all that changes is the ROM , sometimes battery is bad and other times its great. CM9 is best so far. Until we get new kernals our battery won't ever be great.

Ya reading through the comments it seems batterystats.bin has nothing to do with the displayed battery level, but rather just what is using the battery. The displayed battery level comes from kernel level

Same, although not for 3 hours but 15min heavy load (720p mkv). Which normally kills 10% battery.
After calibrate it never happened again and died right after 1%
