[Q] Battery Indicator always show 100% - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone always show battery as 100%, from past 1 month, i tried alot of things as-
1) Reset phone to factory setting.
2) Rom change - been on atleast 6 different roms
3) Battery Calibration ( used many calibration apps)
4) Tried diffrent Firmware also like XXJVT, XXJW4, XXJVU
5) Bought a new battery ( and this also shows 100%, so clearly its a phone problem not battery)
Searched and tried every possibility, I hope someone could help to fix this.
Thanks.

Whats happens if you let the battery drain? And have you already tried deleting the battery stats in cwm?

maybe you can try to wipe the Battery status on recovery mode.

Did deleted status in recovery mode, and also in system, deleted batterystats.bin file.
I even went back to froyo then gingerbread, stock roms, nothing is changing battery indication. Could it be hardware problem?

Hi, I have a huge problem with my phone.

So I rommed and rooted the phone,last night I charged it up to 100% percent (i did the battery callibration a few days ago) and today morning I woke up and I found my phone (I turned it off for the night) with 0% battery,and it wont charge at all,i tried to wipe the battery data,and it still won't help,any suggestions?
BTW my ROM ver-CM7
and the version of this CM7 is ?
the version is 7-11162011-NIGHTLY
i don't know for sure what build it is, but it should be #20 or the Kang
1. as i believe,there's no way to turn off the phone while it's charging
are you sure it's CM7 and it turned off last night?
2. if the battery show 0% and it won't charging, how did you wipe the data ?
however, try to do a factory reset
i managed to do so in the little time window when i plugged my phone to the charger and it works for like 1.5 minutes thats all i could do,now i was successful of charging my phone but it quickly decharges.
Also my phone doesnt pick up the sd card and im already frustrated
Reflash with newest cm7 build and nova v11c . Also try to do battery reset cwm->advandced >batterystats wipe
I hope this helps
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
can you explain how to i reflash and give me a link for the cm7 build?
thanks!
P.S
Perhaps i should erase everything from my phone and bring it back to android 2.2.2 and then re-do everything again with a different cm7?
Get.cm.com then search for p970 download the zip file i think it's build #24 copy to your sd card and reboot into recovery then press install zip and select the cm7 zip install and try to boot see what happends
Goodluck!

Have you done a factory reset?
If you've done it already,and the battery still drop hard,open the SpareParts -> battery information -> see the battery health
Or you can try to calibrate it (Battery Calibration from market)
Sent from my heart into yours
Try to mount the sd card in cwm that should work

Maybe your battery died , it happends i think you can test that the way agent said

I finally fixed the phone,i have restored it to the previous setting from the date i bought it,and the battery works much better,though it still uncharges preety fast,during the night,11hs from recharging it dropped 20%,i still dont get it,ill try to calibrate but i dont think it will help.
Ill keep you posted.

Camera and Charging Problem

X8 running MiniCM7 2.1.9 with nAa kernal-11
Camera
First access to camera since boot, it shows blank with camera framework there.
If i exit and return back to camera, the screen is now complete blank without camera framework. There saw once i got "Could not conect to camera" error.
Charging
Charge when phone is turned off, screen appreads with battery charging image. If i press on/off button to boot up rom, it stops charging(shown in settings>about phone>phonestatus) but my LED notification shows constant red.
Battery icon shows 0%
Sometimes after boot up it discharge at 18% and after sometime(i dont know how long or maybe it keeps on repeating) the phone restarts. and turn to 0%
Could it be virus? Cause my SDcard folders' name start to change to weird symbols.
Or because i dropped my phone on the floor?

Have you ever try to full wipe your phone?
Try to reinstalling your ROM, maybe it will help

Forgot to mention, i reinstalled 5-6 times the rom.
But havent data wipe.
Will the data cause these issues??
After i fix my sdcard, now the phone can be charged, but camera still dont work.
Do u have any partitions on ur SD card?that MIGHT have caused the camera issue.

no, 1 partition, FAT32, i didnt do anything to partition before this problem.
And now again the charging problem came, after i reinstall the rom.
Dont forget u need to factory reset after installing,it will only remove the stuff on ur phone not the memory card,anyway u can install em back
EDIT:Wait if i remember correctly,i used to use minicm7.2.x and after u install the kernel and rom u ALSO need to install gapps.zip files by flashing them with CWM,u better double check with the guys over at minicm thread .used to have charging problems cuz i forgot to install gapps.zip as adviced by them.
EDIT2:Yup u need to install gapps (google apps) there is a link there for you to download it,all u need to do is follow all the instruction given and it will be fine.

try to full wipe data / reformat your SD card, and install your ROM again,

did you try to revert back to Stock ROM and Kernel?
if the problems gone, i think that's not a hardware problem..
do you have somekind like travel charger? you can charge your battery if your phone won't charge..

did you try different charger? maybe the problem is in your charger,
Listen here,its IMPORTANT to install gapps if u havent alrdy.
Step 1 flash kernel
Step 2 reboot to CWM then factory reset (full wipe) MAKE SURE U DO THIS.
Step 3 install rom minicm7.2.1.x and then gapps
Step 4 reboot,takes 2 ~ minutes
GAPPS is a VITAL Step it has nothing to do with ur charger nor hardware.
Edit:i know i might not be an x8 user anymore,but i had that problem because i didnt read the instructions propely.
Edit2: im using a apple wall charger and it works fine,charging my Xperia Neo V.

if don't facing the problem with stock rom/ stock kernel, then your phone doesn't work perfectly with custom kernel or ROM. or maybe there are step that you didn't take it

maybe, but first time i unlock bootloader, and use minicm7, no problem at all.
and there's some problem with battery now. Overnight 100% will become 0 %
I think its because malfunctioning camera keep running background, let me try to freeze it and see the result.

or, you can try to reinstall your custom ROM, and then full wipe data.
don't install any application except the preinstalled application built-in with ROM.
let the phone running normaly, if your battery doesn't face the problem, maybe there's some application causing that problem in your phone

Note will not charge

Can someone help me? I’m currently running Criskelo’s ICS V11.2 with CF-LRG. Yesterday i noticed a massive battery drain up to 12% per hour. After charger was connected for a few hours i can’t turn phone on, after 5-10 min phone going on by itself, after starting the Phone going again off. I wipe in recovery but it did not help. It keeps repeating.
First of all I'd say you try other battery saving kernels out there e.g. SpeedMod, if your still getting that battery drain bug, try to go to CWM, wipe dalvik cache and batterystats and charge your phone until it's full. Use it until the battery drains to 5% and charge it to full again. (Do a complete battery cycle is what I mean).
Check back after if your still getting the battery drain issue.
probably the problem is hardware issue ( usb connector).
i have flash other rom other kernel, wiped. nothing. i still can't charge battery over usb. how i can restock (cause of warranty)? no way with ODIN

If you flash any gb with pc Odin use a full wipe version and it'll erase root and cwm. Doesn't matter if it's 3 part or not.

[Q] short battery life

I have gingerdx v29 with nAa & my battery drains in a day without even touching the phone... (on stock rom it lasted few days longer)
I tried with changing recomended settings to save battery & cleaning battery stats in recovery mode but it doesn't help...
is there any fix or some other custom rom that I can flash to improve my battery life to a descent level ?
Tnx in advance & sorry for bothering you but I'm desperate :\

I'm not an expert on this, but I think it would be a good idea to download both CPUSpy and GSam Battery Monitor to find out what exactly drains your battery so much.
CPUSpy is to see if the sleep states activate normally as they usually would. (mine is at >80%)
GSam is to see if there are any rogue apps or system processes that eat the battery up.
Then report back here
EDIT: Also, I heard that it is recommended to calibrate your battery after you flash a new ROM. I think this can be done via recovery by wiping the battery stats.
Please check this..

Hit thanks if i helped
i gt da same problem once, so i re flash the rom, & wipe everything, after that i used " battery calibration" tool from market & used it, now everything is fine. . . .

try fresh re installation.... and before installing wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache partiotion
For save battery in lock mode try a app called juice defender.
It's really worth so......:thumbdown:

[Q] SlimBean 4.2.2 build 1.1 - Battery doesn't reach 100%

Hi,
I installed SlimBean 4.2.2 build 3 on my i9000 but got some battery drain problems with a program called "Media", so I changed it for 4.2.2 build 1.1.
Now, I have this issue that when I charge the phone when it's on, the battery doesn't seem to be able to reach a status of 100%. It just hangs at 95%. This is true for both USB charging and A/C charging. (When I turn the thing off it does reach 100%.)
Can't seem to wipe battery stats in CWM, because it lacks the option to do so.
Any ideas?

Hi bbrad, have you tried different versions?
Maybe it is a kernel feature that has been set to that value.In my case there is an option in NSTools to set the charging limit.
Hi,
I installed slimbean 4.2.2 (Buildv4.2). But after installation, I cant find the option to go into CWM recovery which was earlier there in the reboot menu of the phone. I have upgraded from earlier versions of slimbean therefore I performed a direct install.
How can I get the CWM recovery back?
Thanks.

"Where's the reboot to recovery in the power menu?
It's hidden.
Go to the developer options and look for "advanced reboot" and set the option to whatever you like.
Now you'll have it again."
There's a full FAQ section on the Slim website.
