That doesn't help man.

Probably a battery calibration problem... Wait until ALL the battery has drained, when it reaches about 2-3% then screenshot. The battery's indicator in the ace is quite buggy. When it says 74% it probably means 90%

Also you can try juicie defender, search it on the playstore.

Just fully charge your phone. Not when it hits 100% in 30 minutes you gonna pull the charger.

If your ROM drains too much battery, try another, such as droidace, or maxiAce I'm using now, both of them are good at battery as well as the UI.

This is common in Cyanogenmod roms. So, Firstly, change your Battery Status Style to Icon.
The instant when battery says 100% or charged, actually it's not fully charged. You'll still see the spark in battery's icon. Keep it charging for extra 30-45 mins. Also, when the battery is fully charged, you'll not see that spark in battery's icon while the charger is plugged in.

Wipe baterry status should help, go to CWM recovery / adwanced / choose it: wipe baterry status and restart.

Copying battery stats file?

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.

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.
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
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%

Battery

I some up this morning and saw my battery was at 88%, it has bin on charge all night how can I fox this so it charges to 100%?

"some up"? Ok... go to CWM->Advanced->Wipe Battery Stats ... if doesn't work, do a full wipe or reflash ROM, you are using...
Woke* auto correct lol, and o do this after every ROM flash and this wouldn't affect that anyway, its not done it before, only to 98% or something but I read that it does this it will reach 100% the stop charging to preserve the battery, but dropping to 88% is a bit extreme I think I'm losing like an hour of battery life

This is a calibration problem caused exactly by you wiping your battery stats, you need to leave them alone and after each flash do a full empty to full charge cycle so the stats can provide proper calibration statistics, I have never wiped battery stats in 2 years of owning my phone
I always do this after a wipe, wait till fully charged>wipe stats>discharge fully>recharge fully
Sent from my GT-I9000 running remICS-UX using XDA premium
Ok, I know the point you are making but I personally think it does more harm than good.... Does it drop straight down the moment you remove the charger?
I don't know if it might be a battery problem, or if the CM9 Nightly build I'm currently on holds a charge really well, but sometimes I charge my phone up to 100%, then after about 30 minutes of continuous, non-stop usage, the battery is still at 99%.
Is this odd behaviour or is it normal?

No it only charges to 88% unless I remove charger then plug it back in again then it will charge to 100%, I think its because the phone charges to 100% then drains then charges, but I think its failing to start charging once it drops to a certain limit (say 10%) so normally it would charge to 100% drop to 90% then charge to 100% so it doesn't damage the battery, but as I said I think its failing to start charging again so it just keeps falling... I need a fix for this? And yes it is a cm9 base

I've always been wondering: is it possible to "damage" the battery or lose some of it's juice by doing wipe battery stats to many times?

Battery drain while charging after new rom install

I recently installed the latest version of Paranoid Android running Jelly Bean 4.2. Since then I've not been able to charge from usb or car charger. Charging from the wall socket works but is SLOW.
I'm stumped as to what the problem is, Google and the paranoid android thread haven't helped so I really am at a loss.
Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

Have you tried make battery calibration ?
It's a known issue after flashing a new ROM.

The simplest way to do is power off you GN. Plug it into a power supply for recharge. When the level reaches to 100%, unplug and get out the battery. Wait for 5 minutes before put back the battery into the GN. Then restart it.
Otherwise get an appli like Battery Calibration, recharge the battery until 100%, the start the appli to calibrate it.

But that sounds like I calibrating the battery itself. I use multiple batteries with my GN. Would it have an effect or am I doing something within the phone itself? Because both batteries drain while charging.
Also if I should do this then should I keep the charger plugged into the GN while I've taken the battery out?

No,unplug the charger.
I also have 2 batteries. Often, but not always, after a new ROM flash, battery recharge takes long time when the GN is On.
In such case I have make calibration for all my batteries. For each new ROM, calibration once for each battery is sufficient.

It's probably just a case where the application you're using and the battery aren't calibrated.
Sent from my GT-I9070
Reboot phone. Maybe that will work.
And please then caliberate battery
Calibrate batery.. <facepalm> It is an android myth and it isnt working! You can only discharge your phone to 0% (when it off) and recharge to 100%. Then you have full anergy, and maximum battery life.

This 2% per 5 mins is when the phone is in standby mode ?
then there is some crap that is eating all your battery.
have a look at the battery usage and see what is using the battery most, in my case it's exchange service -- i cant do anything there because i use email app to get my office emails.
please reply with the app that is using most battery.

Looks like your battery is dead. This phone is the most power-effective phone I owned since Motorola Defy+, it can hold any abuse and still has juice at the end of the day.

And then you've either installed some app that keeps your phone constantly awake, or killed the battery immediately by discharging it to 0. That's the only 2 explanations.
Right now I'm 17h on battery at 50% remaining, and screen as the top discharge reason with 32%. My father, who doesn't use the same phone extensively, routinely charges it once in 2 days. You should have screwed up something really bad to cause this phone not to hold charge.

Could be killed battery. This app won't do anything bad, I believe.
Might also be something reception-related, but I'm not sure if the reception is good/bad or if your carrier does/doesn't support fast dormancy and to what degree does it affect the phone.
