I just installed eb40 yesterday and I'm not happy with its performance... I have attached my battery stats here. Is there a way to check capacity of the battery to make sure it is not defective?

Perhaps you should wait a few days so you can compile the stats and then decide if your battery is defective.
It definitely shouldn't dip like that. Did you calibrate it correctly.

Yup, I did calibrate... But it is quite a heavy use... My stock battery only lasts for 3 hrs on that use...

not even looping hd video over wifi with max brightness would let my eb20 quit in 3 hours

Help me out to callibrate the battery and to get max out of eb40... Also suggest a best battery friendly rom...

Let it fully discharge. Run Movies/Netflix till it just dies then let it charge to max (use the wall charger for this).
Battery Friendly Rom.....they don't make those for us.

^haha very true. The best rom battery wise that I've tried is Younggun's HoloBlur (feel free to correct me)

I'm using the holoblur ROM ATM and I'm getting good results with my battery life. I'd recommend it also.

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.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
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.

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.

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%
It's only been 2 days since I updated to 4.1.1, but, knock on wood, I think I'm getting much better battery life! Can't give exact numbers yet, but at least the battery page on settings works for me now! :victory:

Google Now eats up battery life. I'll be making a guide on how to maximize battery life seeing as no matter what I'm on (ICS, JB, or JB OTA) I still manage to push 8+ hours of screen on time with the setup I use. Also, disable fastdormancy if you're using a carrier that doesn't support it.

If you're rooted, get Titanium backup pro and freeze "orientation notifier", "modem fast dormancy...", and "modemstatservice". Under battery, these were labelled as "wakelock" and used about 25% of my battery

Two hours of screen on time contributed to only 10% battery loss???
Did you just left it with screen on without touching it?
Can you post all the things you've frozen? I am on T-Mobile as well.
This is literally everything frozen
And I lose 20% per every 2 hours of screen time

Does any mod or anyone know how to fix this problem I am extremely new to android and I would really appreciate any help I did manage to root my phone if that helps. Thank You :angel:

Just once it dies try to to turn it on to make sure its dead and if it won't turn on plug it in and leave the phone off till it says 100.

Yes, It will work. However it will most likely drain the battery in about 5 hours, you may consider the EB40 battery mod.

Yes battery drain is crazy as for the eb 40 after you trim it out just snap it shut .. I broke my original battery being overzealous. That flex cable is sensitive.
