Is it safe or good/bad to calibrate battery every time you flash new rom?
Sent from my HTC One
Hi
Greetings,
IMO the phone callibrates the battery on its own
You just have to charge it fully and wait to discharge the battery fully do this for 2-3 times and battery is calibrated
And if you mean to erase batter stats..... It's a myth

Deep cycling it is a myth too.

is anyone else having bad battery life once they updated to stock (.56) ICS?
to me I'm getting anywhere between 2-3 hours less life out of my phone and i have larger (1800mAh) batteries.
i even take the batteries out every now and then and charge them on a wall battery charger that came with the batteries.
i have taken more measures to get better battery life and it appears that there is nothing i can do
i would get better battery life on HoliRaider with 1.6GHz OC!!!

Have you tried wiping battery stats? And doing a full battery calibration? If that even applies to this device I know it worked on my skyrocket.

It's been proven that wiping the stats doesn't do much. The skyrocket imo has better battery life than the vivid and runs on a higher mah batt.

I've tried just about everything, auto-sync off, brightness all the way down, wifi on /off, etc etc, it seems like the only way to have decent battery life is to keep data off all the time
one feature that i do miss from GB is you had the option of having "on demand data"..
however i do wish that at&t would go ahead and give us the option of having an LTE on/off switch.... yes i live in one of the cities blessed with LTE but it really takes a tole on your battery even when its in your pocket not being used

i still haven't rooted my phone (again) since ICS was released, will it work with RumFloat and/or just rooted no rom?
I got a new battery from AT&T and it's still not working..
It won't turn on.. It shows the battery icon and with a red exclamation point on it..
Please help

It sounds like your battery need external charging...
Maybe plug and unplug to keep the orange light on until it stays on

Wouldnt redo Doin his battery stats in cwmr
HTC vivid
No... The problem is that the battery is dead... There are a few threads about this...
For some reason... Some vivids don't charge dead batteries...
**shakes fist at HTC**
And wiping battery stats only clears your batterystats.bin... All but useless unless you swap between 2 batteries

Its not 'some vivids'. Some custom recoveries don't support off-mode charging. If you have one of those recoveries, the battery won't charge when it completely dies or when the phone turns off. So an external charger, or another vivid, is required to charge the battery. Once the battery is charged, I suggest replacing your recovery..
Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!

If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

All stock!

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.
My butterfly s has been fantastic in almost every aspects..
But i ve found a weird problem regarding the battery..
It can normally last for a whole day, which is really pleasing me. But if i drain it to below 15%, it drains much faster. What i mean is it can be 10% after 2min and 1% after another 2min...
Is it a software problem or a hardware one
Thanks in advance!
Edit: one thing i have missed, when i connect it to a charger, it jumps to 10% after seconds...

It's normal for Li-Pol batteries - same issue with my 901s phone. Also don't use the phone with less than 20% battery unless you really need to, as that's the critical point for the battery and if you go below that level, it shortens battery life and can degrade the battery capacity.
My mini is 3 years old, the battery didn't charge to 100% for 1 month or so, so I bought a new one but still it doesn't charge to 100%
I'm running MIUI v4
what do you mean
explain.
it is not charging or it is charging down.
pls more explaining
