1) turn off all radios pull out the battery take out the sim card
2) turn on the phone
3) turn off the phone
4) cnnect to the charger and full charge
Put back yr sim card and u will see yr battery lasting longer
Info: the reason why this works because with all the radios and signal on, the battery sensro does not full charge because some of the power is being used by the phone features. The battery calibrator thinks that nothing is using the phone while its charging

I will try this and I am most certain that this will work.
I once swapped my phones battery with my friends, as his phone had the navigation on. After I inserted my own battery back and charged it fully. There was a tremendous performance increase
like 1% battery drop in like 4 hours of standby !
Amazing...must try !

Hi
Got an extended battery for my G1 a few days ago from ebay.
The problem is, the phone doesn't recognized it after I switched the battery. I had the same charging % as the previuos battery right after I changed it (even though I never charged it) and the max use time in Battery time lite is the same....
Any ideas ?
Thanks,
Nati
bad phone ? my ext batterys work fine from ebay
is there any way I can be sure ?
Maybe it a firmware thing ?

I had similar issues when I first got an extended battery (Seidio 2600mA). After performing the steps below, I had no problems at all. I hope it works for you.
Try a COMPLETE drain and recharge cycle, a couple times.
Run the battery down until the phone shuts itself off, restart the phone and let it run until it shuts itself off again. Repeat until it will NOT boot anymore. This will take a surprisingly longer time than you think. Load up your music player, youtube via 3G, etc... kill that thing.
Once the batter is so dead that it can't even load the splash screen for a boot charge it up, but do not turn it on. Let it charge up to full for a few hours (usually four will do it) and turn it on. If it's not at 100% yet, let it charge for a while longer. When it's at 100% take it off the charger and run it down again like before. Run it until it is totally dead.
After a couple cycles like this, you shouldn't have any problem with your phone and battery giving accurate charge status results and operating as it should.
I've read, from a few sources, that between the internal monitoring on the battery works, and the way the G1 reads the battery state, that this complete drain and recharge cycling helps to establish baselines for "empty" and "full" and keep them synchronized. If your phone has never seen an extended battery and the battery was at partial charge when inserted, it may not have been able to accurately gauge the minimum and maximum extents and give faulty readings based on prior battery data.
That could be wrong, and I don't know for sure. But, a complete drain and recharge never hurts anyway, and in my case it actually seemed to solve the problem for me.
Good luck!

Hi guys, I just want to share with you a problem I encountered using 2 original Sony Battery BA900. I have 2 batteries, both original. Both of them fully charged, 1 battery inserted into my phone and 1 as back-up. After my battery discharged up to 10, 20 or 30%, I will try to change to my back up battery. After changing it, the phone dispalys the same battery charge level with my first one, for example before I removed the first battery, the charge level is 10%, changing into a new one that is fully charged to 100%,it will also show 10%. The battery will continue to drain up to 1% and will stay there for several hours. So that means, the battery is really fully charged but the battery icon shows a wrong level.
However using another local battery (not original from Sony), I will not encounter this problem, meaning after the original battery drained up to 10%, I will change to a locally made battery that is fully charged, it will show 100% on the battery level.
Note that any ROM that I use, Stock or Custom ROMS available for TX, I will encounter the same problem using 2 original batteries.
Is there anybody who encountered the same problem with me? Any suggestions to fix this?
Thanks
I see someone have same issue like this.they call it normal
the way to solve that when you change new battery you have to wait 20-30 sec then put the new battery on.

I tried to do it, but still I'm observing the same problem. I even waited for few minutes before I put the new battery inside my phone. The only way it can show the normal readings of the battery level is when I charge it for a few minutes, if the battery level of the previous battery on my phone is 10%, changing it to a fully charged new battery the phone will also show 10%, after charging it for a few minutes, it will suddenly jump to 100%.
I hope Sony can come up with the fix with this because the unbranded batteries can work really well.
Thanks.
I have the same problem with Mugen Power Battery. I think that the battery meter is not working fine and I hope that Sony can fix it.
my xperia x10 had the same problem a couple of times the battery off instead of a hard way of inserting normal if you want to try

Hello!
Been using my i9000 for about 2 years and 3 days ago i came around a problem that I can't solve. Let me try to explain as good as my english skills will let me.
I`m charging the battery to 100%. I`m unplugging then plugging back my charger a few times to make sure it's charged 100%. Then I`m using my phone as usual for about 2-3 hours (less if I`m playing a movie or listen to music) and my phone automatically shuts off. When I turn it back on, it shows 1-2% battery.
Now, if I let it idle, it will slowly "charge" back up (without the charger plugged). It wont show the charging icon over battery, but it's level will rise to about 60-70%.
If, after I turn it back on I use it intensively, it will shut down in 1-2 minutes. I tried to charge it to full and then enter that root menu (volume up+menu key+power key) to delete the battery stats, but still can't solve the problem.
I can't believe my battery is dieing or having a hardware problem because it started acting like this out of the blue, so I think there's a software problem somewhere (maybe corrupted battery info stats or something). My bet is on the fact that the phone doesn't know the empty and full limits of the battery.
My phone is rooted and using android 2.3.6. Any advice would be highly appreciated, thanks!
Same problem here

Did you get to have yours fixed??
I had the same problem with my I9000, in the same period.. what are the odds?
I replaced the battery, and the battery level weirdness went away, but I'm still having problems charging it. Actually, the battery won't charge in the phone, tried several charges, with different amps. I have an external charger, which will take the battery at 100%, and it will last a few hours in the phone.
I also have another problem: if I have the phone on, with the charger connected, and shut it down, I can only get it back on if I disconnect the charger. I also don't get the battery indicator when the phone is off.
I was using CM10, but then I reverted to stock 2.3.6, tried a few kernels, modems, etc, but none solve my problems.
hi guys
quite basic problem u got there
if ur on 2.3.6, then its natural problem.its not like changing kernel can solved it as it is safety measure for battery in stock ROM.
to answer ur question;
when charging at deepsleep mode nothing will change=
as cpu at min stated,even wifi will be knocked off n sometimes network signal also.
battery suddenly goes up when rebooting or awake from deepsleep=
its ur battery stat+safety measure for battery (hav u heard BLX (Battery Life Xtender) in any cm10 features?) to maintain fone power state.
battery will never goes 100% n u need to plug n unplug again for it to full=
still count as BLX (above) as in this features battery will goes 90% - 95% as its max to make sure battery lasting longer (if not,why do u think u can still use ur battery in full state after 3 years (1000+ cycles) n it still not bubling like old nokia fone?)
fone will not awake when charging (if enter sleep mode) =
check ur kernel n make sure min cpu change to ~200mhz as its min n dont lock ur cpu to its min.if in stock, something wrong with ur home or power (da one trigger awake) button.
da conclusion is, sometimes (3 month calculated) reset ur battery stat (if ur on GB) with app (too many app on Gstore) but needed root n follow strictly step. DO NOT OVERCHARGE (charging n leaving ur fone till morning to discharge) n be thankful this features intact in updated GB so u can use ur battery much longer than nokia fone.
but u can change it by upgrading to cm9 to disable it. charge it with 'stay awake' enable on dev option n u ll get full 100% usage of ur battery
thats all for my morning essay
n thank you for reading (if u try to read)
Regards

Actually we have a thread with battery problem.
1 Turn off your phone.
2 Charging phone without turning on to full and switch on then continue charging to 100%
3 When getting 100% signal, unplug quickly.
4 Pull off the battery and put it anywhere.
5 Press power buton copule time
6 Wait for 20 min
7 Meanwhile, take this opportunity to dust off the internal compartment.
8 Put back the battery on the right side.
9 Turn on the phone.
10 Pray the Battery god
11 ... and voilà !
My xperia zr is taking much time to charge 2hr.45min (approx 3hr) to charge from 0%-90% . and does not go above 90% i connected my phone for 30min above 90% it was 91% only i switch of my phone and again i tried to charge bt it dont worked. i searched on google gone through many threads none of them helped me. many threads says go for stock charger im already on stock charger . earlier it was taking 2 hr to charge from 0-100% nw it doesnt. i checked every setting switched my phone to airplane mode it also dont worked for me and my battery is draining much faster than it was at earlier.
any body can tell me how to use android phone so that i can higher my battery life ??
or is there any harm with my battery?
Mine 3 hrs to get fully charged.. Can last 17 hrs with total 3.5 hrs on screen. Auto sync is off and location access is off. You can see on battery state which one use high battery usage.

try better battery stats app from google play store. it will give u battery performance.
I think the battery may have lost its capacity to full charge.

i am listing how to use battery for android phone this are the results which i have got when i googled how to make battery backup better ,hope it will help others:
1)Charge ur battery in week 0-100% twice
2)plug ur phone for charging when the battery is between 30-40%
3)when ever u play game the phone gets hot so let it cool first keep it aside for 15-20 min then plug it for charging
4)switch off background data transfer in setting data usage or u can download an app for it.

charging cycle is important for any battery. laptop or mobiles
My phone got weird battery problem
My phone is 2 yr old & battery replaced last yr
S Off using custom rom insertcoin senseven artmod
I think physically battery is ok
Problem is phone shows battery discharging very quickly
after that what I do
reset battery stats by power off or auto shut down by low battery then holding vol up & power button screen on till phone off again then start phone again it will shows increased battery %
For eg using phone for 10 hrs with 1 hr screen on time it discharge 100 to 0% then I reset battery stats & start phone again it will shows 65% battery
2 nd thing if I'm charging phone it wether phone on or off (let's assume 35% ) it's % not increased but it shows phone using more power after some time it will shows less battery (15%)but in reality phone is charging after resetting battery stats with above method it will shows correct %(55%)
I tried these methods to correct it
Flash stock firmware again unsuccessful
Flash stock ruu again unsuccessful
Also tried vol up + vol down + power button holding for 2 minutes to battery stats reset
What I should do ?
I count manually battery life it's above 24 hr with screen on time of 2.5 hr

Did you re-downloaded your apps after flashing the ruu or you have tested the battery directly after flashing the ruu? (to make sure none of your apps or settings is draining the battery).

What about your apps? Like @alray asked. Have you tested with just the barebone stock rom with no apps installed?
I had a similar issue a while ago it turned out to be "Gsam Root companion" after removing the app my battery percentage returned to normal.

Err! Strange could be battery problem but it's weird how clearing stats cures it temporarily.
Have you tried resetting USB host mode with Vol up+down + power for 2 mins?
Maybe charge to 100% in all modes (on, off and in recovery) wipe stats reset USB host mode and reboot and monitor.

yes I tried Vol up+down + power for 2 mins
Unsuccessful
Whatever I do it always shows decreasing battery % but after battery stats reset it jumps to higher value
Even phone is off & put on charging battery shows decreasing trend but after reset shows correct %
Totally pissed off
This is latest drawing uhhh !!
I think your battery is going to die soon. Most likely some of its blocks are complitely dead, that's why it shows that kind of stats

That will be good at least I won't have suspicion to change battery or not
But how it possible to have 24+ hr battery life + 2-3 hrs SOT ?

Did you try to run your phone without rebooting to see how much it will last? Also, did you try another charger? Judging from your screenshots my guess is your battery is dying, but that would mean you couldn't get that much off charge and SOT to save your life. My battery is still pretty good, and I get just over 3 hours SOT and 36-48 hours off charge

ok let me explain screen shot
Anyhow I charged phone to 100% start it use it for 14-15 hr with 1-1.5 hr sot it goes to 0%
switched off or auto off
not charged
Battery stats reset with vol up + power button for 20 sec (it shows green HTC then goes off again)
Start phone again it shows 60% battery again (not charged )
Use 7-8 hrs with sot 1 hr approx
Goes to 0% again
Repeat process again shows battery 30-35% again
So this is screen shot history

I understood your screenshot. So, every time your phone shuts down, you do the reset thing, right? I would like to know what happens if you just try to turn on your phone after it shuts down. No reseting, no nothing. Simply try to turn it on

That's a lot like my old Xperia X1. Turned out it was charge regulator issue. You might want to look that up. If I remember correctly, Xperia had that regulator on its motherboard. I changed it and everything was fine after that. I think M7's charge regulator is in the battery, so we're back to faulty battery. But that's just my opinion, you might want to monitor charging current to see if your phone is getting correct charge current

I have 3 HTC phones in my family I use their charger randomly
My sister's HTC One m7 battery is fine no issues
I think my phones motherboard can have some issues as in warranty period it's battery changed 2 times so it could be !!
I got confused as after 1st battery replaced I hard brick phone & HTC changed motherboard after 2 months of that battery replaced again
Now I don't know what it is ?
I wish if battery is faulty it should dead asap so I can replace battery

Well, it could very well be motherboard issue too, but that was my last resort as it means you're pretty much screwed if your warranty expired

Is there any battery sensor ?
If yes where motherboard or any other chip like charging usb ?
