Having flashed GinSense, and it's been working fine for the last few days, the battery percentage was pretty inconsistent, so I tried the method of charging, deleting the battery stats, then letting it empty the charge and then charging back to full.
I got the battery stats point, deleted it, now it's stuck at the G1 splash.
WTF.
I had to rewipe the phone, and now it's working again, but anyone know why something so weird would happen?
I think you only had to wipe dalvik cache. If it happened on my phone (samsung galaxy 3) i'm sure it would have been a problem with dalvik cache. Not sure about yours but it could have been the same.
Normally when i wipe battery stats no problem like this occurs and i never wipe anything.
Search Battery Calibration in the Market and use it. It better.

No, it's not better. It does the same thing. I used it on my phone with another rom a few months back, and the same thing happened. I got a random reboot, then it wouldn't boot past the splash.
Anyway, I ended up just re-flashing my rom, so I guess we'll see how it goes in the future, and wiping dalvik if it happens.

Not sure about rotate stats, but battery stats wipe is useful when getting a new battery or re-calibrating your old one.
from the thread where you got the recovery image:
* [Alt+3] Wipe battery stats : Wipe the battery stats in /data
* [Alt+4] Wipe rotate settings : Wipe the sensor settings in /data
Simply deletes these files. It's thought that if you fully charge, delete the battery data file, use your phone completely, recharge fully that your phone's battery stats are changed and helps battery life.
Not sure about screen rotation.... never had an issue with it. Obviously it just deletes a file which is recreated on boot.
older roms would have problems with the accelerometer working. clearing those got it to work again
sorry for digging out this old thread...
but what file will be deletet regarding the accellerometer/rotate settings?
Recently I decided to update my phone from cupcake to Super D 1.10.3 and I've been getting a problem where my phone would randomly turn off mostly when I'm talking on the phone or when it uses data. I noticed that this problem never occurs when it is hooked up to power though. I also noticed that the battery level are showing strange %s all the time. It would go from like 80% then when it randomly shuts off automatically go into red, to the point where I can't reboot my phone without power. I've tried about 4-5 different roms, reinstalled the radio/SPL but still have the same issue. Hopefully somebody here can help me figure out what is wrong because I don't believe it's a battery issue as it works almost perfectly sitting idle.
Thanks !
That kept happening to me. I decided to brick it, but it died off on it's own and never turned on so it saved me some trouble.
most likely a battery problem i believe. happened to me and i simply replaced the battery.
Try wiping the battery stats and dalvick cache in recovery . Fix permissions . It may be a widget acting up .

I always blame it on the widgets.
What do you have on the screen. Most of the time when it does that it's because of a kernel panic. Too much going on at once can cause the device to crash.
right now the only widgets are power control, and beautiful widgets. I'll try to get rid of power control, hopefully it works! if not i'll call tmobile for a new battery

Let's try clearing your dalvik-cache.

-_-, i'm kind of a noob so i'm not sure how to do that
go into recovery (assuming you have amonra's) and go to wipe, then theres an option to clear dalvik-cache.
so far nothing seems to be working =\

I have this EXACT same issue. Started about a week ago. I think its has something to do with wiping the battery data too often ot possibly incorrectly?
Gonna try wiping davlik-catche and battery (after a full charge is reported while powered off) but one question...after wiping after charging, do I leave it plugged into power or do I unplug power before rebooting?
EDIT: I also have tried this with difft ROMS and SPLs. Only crashes when on the phone or using data. Not a loose battery (like others have suggested) as I can shake the $#!1 out of it and not have it power off, don't think its the battery. Left my G1 all night, no problems. Started checking out market downloads, crashed (with no "powering down" splash) within 3min of usage. Gonna try downgrading the radio to see if that helps (like was said, seems to be a data issue).
UPDATE: So after un-rooting back to stock android 1.0 and again experiencing these crashes yet still not having one with power supply attached I've narrowed down my problem to either the battery (hopefully) or the phone hardware itself (hopefully not). Find out later on today...
i too have the same exact problem..i twas fine until recently...but when i shifted to cyan 5.0.7 from 4 i had this problem.i thought it was a sd card problem so i just booted the g1 without the sdcard in and it worked fine.so i just reformatted the sd card n checked it with checkflash the sdcard was fine....just put in stock cyanmod and running the phone now will tell u the result when i get back...hopefully it should be the sdcard fault
Its your battery. This started happening to me about 2 weeks ago and i ordered a new battery and all my problems are solved now. Just to make sure look at the center of your battery and check if it is swollen or has a bump, if it does im 100% sure its the battery
hmm yup the battery is swollen at the center looks like i need to get a new one
Hi guys. I was using CM 10.1.3 on my Atrix HD. It was working fine, good battery life (1 day with average use). But then, 1 day ago, I had the great (sarcasm) idea of installing some animations that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455776
It doesn't give more documentation or something, but people said that it worked good, so I gave it a try. I installed it but there were no new animations. Instead my phone started running a little slower than regular. I decided to better flash again CM 10.1.3 since I didn't know how to remove the animations.
After I flashed it and used it, it lasted for about 5 hours from 100% charge with average-heavy use! I did calibrate the battery before using it, but still really low battery life. I didn't have time today in the morning to flash again, so I waited to do so.
Then, it was kind of laggy again. And the worst is that, everytime that I connected it to my Windows 8 laptop, it crashed and gave me the Blue Screen of Death. I decided to flash again CM 10.1.3. It doesn't crash the laptop anymore, but at this moment is still draining fast.
TL;DR: I installed untrusted software and phone is draining the battery really fast. Already flashed but still the same.
Can anybody help me or give me tips?
If you don't know how to remove the animations themselves, I'm 99% sure they are housed in the data partition, so reflashing your ROM will do nothing. I'm afraid you'll have to factory reset to get rid of it, wipe cache and dalvik too.

Yes, I know, in fact I wiped everything, restored to factory, formated data, system, dalvik, etc, etc, but still the same. After I formated everything, I reflashed.
Hey guys.just want to ask any1 had same problem with me or not?yesterday my phone suddenly death after online fb.but my battery percentage around 26% after i try to on back my phone it show 1 % than i charge back to untill full.2nd time last night i try to restart my phone when my battery have 61% after on back.i had this same problem.i already try check with hidden menu battery health test.everything was fine.what should i do?
I had a similar experience once on PA 6 beta 2. I had forgotten to put my phone on charge one night but my battery was 70 something percent. Woke up next morning and phone was hot and dead. So I used my iPad charger to charge it up fast. Since then I've done lots of resets and wipes of data, including formating system.
First check your govouner setting using your prefered app. Set to Ondemand and see what happens.
Have you you tried factory reseting your phone?
If you're rooted and have recovery just wipe data. If you have the ROM you're on, on you're storage of your phone format system along with wiping data, cache and delvik cache. Then reflash ROM.
Of on stock and boot loader locked use PC Companion or official Sony app for mac I think it's called Bridge something.
Hi all,
After flashing Beta 8 two days ago something weird happened, my phone showed it was on 42% charge for the whole afternoon even after heavy usage and all of a sudden I turned off and said battery was too low so I had to leave it for some 5 minutes charging before it could turn on again.
Yesterday it would not charge even when it was turned off so I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and it started charging without any other issues, today however it is stuck at 38% after I've been watching videos for more than an hour and still in 38%.
See attached for some visual...
It will turn off eventually and I hope I turned back on, I just want to know whether any of you guys are experiencing issues after beta 8 or this is just an isolated issue or maybe a defective phone. I did not have any other issues before .
FIXED
Ok so last night I just cleared cache, dirty flashed Beta 8 again, cleared cache again and the phone is up to normal again.
No clue on what happened though...

Had the same opposite problem the first night I flashed OB8, wouldn't show charging or act like it even though it was. I didn't have to do a dirty flash though, one reboot and everything has been back to normal since
