[Q] When to Battery Calibrate

Do i need to do a battery calibration when switching between the extended battery and the regular? Depending on my work day i take a different batter with me but the extended seems to be dropping as fast at the standard one. I am running Blurry 1.3 ROM.

IMO its just a placebo effect

I had never run one before but when I stitched to blurry 1.3 I was losing 10% battery life every thirty minutes while not in use!! I was told to run the calibration on it and boy did it help, now I drop ten or so every hour/hour and a half with heavy usage, and only a percent or two when not in use.

Absolutely. Placebo? The battery stats are for the stock battery. You put a bigger battery in, and you don't think you need to tell your system?
Don't calibrate and enjoy the same battery life you got on the regular battery.

I'll post a link to a great calibration trick in a minute. I was easily getting a day and a half on my x2, with heavy use.

So you think the battery calibrator app is not good enough

I think it's good. I use it in conjunction with the other one. Google "juhde calibration DROID" and you'll find the thread. Made a world of difference for me...

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.

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.
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%

1% Battery Discharge Every 2 Minutes

Hi,
I had V10F now im at V10H (same problem)
My battery life decreasing literally by the minute, when I hold the phone with nothing running, just looking at the screen I get 1% battery decrease in about every 2-3 minutes.
I got the phone with V10F and now upgraded to H and did Factory reset, nothing changed.
Is this a common bug?
Thanks

Install better battery stats and check what is draining ur battery. And it ain't sounds like a bad battery. But better battery stats should help u determine what is causing the issue.

It started on the 10F for me, I got the phone with it.
Whats the best app to see which apps takes the most battery?
I think it was a mistake to sell my Galaxy Note for X4, I never had such serious battery issues and I always assumed that in regular non gaming, non multimedia use the tegra3 will use the 5th LP core.
what a disappointment.
Now It stopped connecting to WiFi N networks for some reason

Hi Dante501: I have Better Battery Stats installed on my mobile. I am able to check the battery loss since unplugged, boot, etc.
However, BBS app does not show the name of app that took maximum battery, etc. The other app sugggested on XDA Easy Battery Saver does show the detailed information. EBS has some in-mobile advts which I clicked quite often and get charged for some useless services. I have unisntalled and have only BBS.
Is there some other apps that gives the details as to which app too how much percentage, and so on. That will be very useful. Thanks in advance for your suggestions/info.

Im not sure its possible, after I updated the ROM I did factory reset and format
Well unless its one of the Lg apps.
Im going to use the guide and disable all of them
Any ideas what can affect wifi? I mean if it connects to G but not N its not broken rihgt?
P.S. I also noticed that X4 has no WiFiN 5Hz support, when I used Note it always found my 5Ghz SSID and I was able to connect.
X4 wont even find it, it finds 2.4Ghz N but trys to connect and then nothing.
was working fine 2 days ago. with occasional issues, I had to off/on the wifi before It could connect to N network.
Now it wont connect at all.

I don't know what you guys are doing with the phone but, mine last for more than two days last time I need to charge it, using GPS for 45min.+/-, normal calls 30min.+/- and about 45min. total in the internet (checking emails, facebook, playstore and xda app).
Today I almost didn't use it, only one call, about 5 min., I play a race in NFS, around 5min., check the playstore for news and updates 10min.,
and I have 80% of charge...
I'm on v10h and I don't see any or a big difference between one and the other.

Please let us know which v10H do you use?
is it Open Europe? The one from the first post on this tread? or something else?

I understand, but i have the impression that Braziv V10C has a better battery life (even if it is without root). I may be wrong, but that is my impression.
I use 10H cause i dont like many stocks apps xD

Battery at 30% after 8 hrs

What in the world is draining the battery so quick? So HTC One was unplugged for a little over 8 hrs, the battery is at 30%. Based off this photo it looks like the most battery was used when the phone was idle and using the Wifi.

I believe that sense on 4.3 is the culprit! I removed it and went senseless, and it seemed the Android OS was only using half the resources afterwards. I was getting almost 8-10 more hours on 4.1.2.

Plus I do believe that WiFi searches constantly now! That's another reason for the battery drain.

You probably haven't turned off the WiFi constant search, or haven't turned on sleep mode.

Battery life

I have veeeery bad battery life with my Moto X, maximum screen on time is 1.5 hours, wake lock detector requires root, any other apps which can detect the battery drain?

You must have a defective phone or something wrong with your software. I already have an hour of screen on time and am still at 90%.

I am at CES right now, so probably it happens because of overloaded 4G... But previously the battery life was relatively bad anyway

Gsam will tell you a lot. It's free and doesn't need root.
Then maybe try the "how's your battery life thread"....Have a read through and you'll find tonnes of tips and what not.
