First, charge until the battery is full, make sure your phone is on during the charging.
Second, power off the phone.
Third, charge it again until the battery is full, make sure your phone is off this time.
Fourth, stop charging and power on the phone.
When your phone is on and the app menus appear, power off your phone at once, then repeat step 3.
Make sure your charger is original before calibrating. My battery is back to normal with above method, hope it's helpful to you.
Hope so! I've tried something similar, but I usually use my wireless charger. Thanks!

Root doesn't allow you to recalibrate your battery.

Sure it does. It allows you to remove the previous battery calibration, for whenever you switch ROM's, but also works if your stock gets wonky

Dude I'm not saying on this phone, I'm saying on phones in general. It's a part of having root in general. That's why I'm asking how to do it on this phone (droid turbo) BECAUSE I don't have root.

this is a droid turbo forum, and when imply that one person is wrong because of that pretty much states your talking about this phone. Also wheres this proof that root will calibrate the battery. I see none.
Edit:

If your talking about the ABOVE LINK that is only after you flash a rom. i am pretty sure you cant with stock root only.
you can calibrate the battery with your turbo charger, follow the procedure here, worked for me!

plug into turbo charger, hold power till it cycles on it's own (you'll see the real %), leave plugged in and walk away for an hour.
I had the same problem and I had to return the phone to motorola. Tried the steps to recalibrate it and it didn't work. Motorola replaced it under warranty under defective battery

No. This was debunked over 2 years ago, though some of us already knew better.

I just tested the OP, and wouldn't you know it, mine shut off at like 6%. I plugged it in, had to wait about a minute, then turned it on. While the power was off, it was not reading a %, so I am assuming 0%. When the phone booted, it was at 6%.

I think you've got a few options.
One is to find another charged battery.
Second is to find another Milestone to charge your battery in (in which case you'd probably have access to another battery anyway).
Third is to supply power to the phone directly bypassing the battery.
There was a thread about this when I got my first milestone (which was 'broken' with these same symptoms). Basically you can chop off the end of a USB cable and stick the red and black wires in with the battery to supply 5V directly (I soldered them directly to the battery to ensure they didn't cross, but I'm quite good at soldering/desoldering). Then the phone thinks the battery is full and allows programming. And after it's programmed charging of the battery through the phone will work again.

red goes on + black on - of the battery. easy.
oooh nice I did CPR on my old old HTC Wizard - it was shipped with empty battery and couldn't charge without the system running.
However - I've used an old PC PSU, because I was afraid to short circuit the USB port on my notebook
I would recommend buying second backup battery, even those chinese are doing pretty good for the price.
New battery was drained and fully charged while the phone was off.
Now it drains to 15% after less then 12 hours of average use.
When charger is unplugged the battery imm goes down to 97%
what is the best way to improve the battery performance ?
Don't use it as much
Everything has a work in time, your phone needs to forget about old battery and dance with a new partner. Give it a chance...

Reset battery stats

Did you get this battery from china?
It probably has like 800mah.
Is there any battery today that does not originate in China ?
It is marked "SAMSUNG G7 1500mah".
I already tried to calibrate the battery about a week ago using a market application that claims to perform a reset of the battery stats.
after the reset I drained the battery for 3 days and recharged while the phone was off every night (during those 3 days).
then for the first few days the battery actually held up nicely reaching 50-60% after 12 hours.
after a week or so it started to drain more rapidly reaching 15-20% in the evening.
It also fails to hold 100% when the charger is unplugged, going straight to 97%.
should I try another battery or is there a another way to calibrate the battery ?

Is there a way to identify a genuine non-fake G7 battery ?
That's how mine looks. My battery does seem to drain fast when I am actually using it. But, also when I'm not using it, it seems to keep at a steady battery level for a while. I guess it's a trade off. I also use Juice Defender which definitely helps.
I probably used juice defender for about 4 months. Then I tried running without it and found I got equal or better battery life.
I was doing the regular stuff, flashing, recovery, trying the new JB roms.
Suddenly, after removing the battery and put it on again, the phone turn black and does not turn on anymore. Not even on the charger, there's no 'light', nothing, nada.
Appeared to be dead
Any way to resuscitate it again?
Thanks

WTF Dude..... Just stop spamming and scaring users already. LEAVE!
This method is not dangerous. It fixed the radio brick this phone had. His battery doesn't make a good contact, but the phone is definetly alive.
I wanted to ask: How fast is the orange light blinking?
You could have a problem with your cord, or, I've had an odd problem before with a certain rom where it wouldn't charge from a usb port anymore.
So, if you aren't trying a wall charger, I would recommend you give that a shot. Leave it plugged in there for like 5 or 10 minutes before you go back to try it, just in case it was completely dead.
Sorry about your luck.
Hi,
I've had a Nexus 6 for some days now, and its battery life doesn't seem too good. I'm used to leave my phone overnight and wake up to it having over 90% battery left, but with the N6 it usually has a little over 80. Today it had 83%, and after browsing the web for some minutes (maybe 10 or 15) it's down to 75%... That's almost 1% a minute, which seems a lot to me.
If I take a look at the battery screen, I see this:

If I'm not mistaken, something seems to have kept the phone awake during the night. Is that right? I'm using M preview 2, could that be causing the problem? Is the phone defective? What could be wrong here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
PS. Battery life is at 71%... That's 4% down since I wrote that part above. This thing drains so fast it's scary.
It could be anything from the ROM itself to a Rouge app. I would flash back to bone stock and see what you get over a few days with a couple charge cycles. And then compare with another ROM.

Yes the andoird m preview 2 is not showing battery stats correctly. You will probably notice that once your phone goes down to 1% it could stay there for an hour or so. Just be sure to run the phone to complete 0%. Then charge to 100% and leave for about an hour after that. That should recalibrate it after a few cycles. It is a widespread "issue" with the m preview 2.

i use the turbo charger. but it doesnt matter. if you watch the voltage going in, it get drastically reduced above 92%, and again at like 97%. and when the device actually stops charging, its at 0% voltage going in. btw, most times it does not stop charging at 100%. that happens anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes after hitting 100%. thats because our battery % is slightly off.
I have been using quick charger to charger my N6 since I got this phone in 12/2014. I had no problem until recently my phone will power off itself when its battery gets to 15%. Before, 15%of better life will lasts me another 15-30 mins. I charges 2-3 times a day using quick charger and I think it's killing the battery!!! Anyone had similar issue?

Dude... Your battery is almost 1 year old... It's normal for the battery to start going weird with normal use between a year and 18 months however, you charging the phone 2 to 3 times a day isn't great and is likely a cause for your issue... I charge mine once a day.
There is a thread somewhere here in The N6 forum to possibly fix your issue.

I'm just trying to figure out what happened. I know you said about battery calibration; but why my phone dies at 30%? I think I might need a replacement!
Its a nexus 6 thing, the internal power supply hardware for this phone is cheap and "just enough" to power the phone. When the voltage on the battery drops from being drained the cpu shuts down as a fail safe, the 5.1 update "fixed" the issue by underclocking the cpu and gpu at 40% battery (iirc) and unplugging cores at <20%. Many custom kernels remove this for performance boosting but then some phones run into the power supply issues usually in the lower binned chips (ones with higher voltage tables). Age likely doesn't help anything and a quick charge probably doesn't either. There's a big post about it on the zen kernel thread.
It's more of a Nexus thing. My N7 2013 does this all the time. Happened only a few months after release. Download an app called Battery Calibrator. Can't remember if I got it from here or from the PlayStore. It requires root access.
So.....are you on a custom rom or stock? If custom rom there's your problem right there, check for an update. If on stock also make sure your on the latest build. If all else fails do a factory reset. If problems persists just put in a warranty claim with Motorola.
