dont know if you guys experienced this or not, it seems like i cant get my phone to be fully charged after the 1.5 firmware update, it takes like 10 hours to get it fully charged. So i thought it was my phone, but after i get the replacement from t-mobile, its the same thing, so i thought its the battery, but after i replaced the battery which i got from HTC, it turns out to be the same....what do u guys think what happening to my phone ?
for example, if i charge my phone for 2 or 3 hours, and it says its 60% charged...then i reboot my phone, the battery bar becomes full, and i check the battery info, its 100% or 99%.....so you guys think it's the software issue ? maybe my phone is already fullly charged, but it just cant recognize it ? but this cant happen to 2 different phones with different batteries right ?
This happens to my phone even i flash it to the cyan 4.0.4
CyanogenMod-4.0.4
HardSPL
2.22.19.261
Please Help !!!!
weird, have u tried to UN-root?
ya...tried...was back to normal once when it was at 1.0 firmware, but then after i root or updated to 1.5 firmware, it happens again...i dont even know why this is happening
Anything running in the background sucking up battery power? Bluetooth enabled? Music/Video player "stopped"?
There is a file you can delete to make the phone forget its battery charge settings and start over. I searched but with the old Cy threads gone I can't find it. Try searching the forum a few different ways. Maybe it is also in a different rom thread. If I come across the file name I will post it here.
if i delete the file, would it indicate how much battery is left ? or how much battery has been charged ?
i think the directions on what file that needs be deleted are in the experimental thread, i remember reading about it as well. basically, what you are doing is deleting the old battery readings and the files that tell the phone how much juice the battery has left, and when you reboot after deleting them, it causes the phone to create new ones.

Try deleting batterystats.bin in /data/system if you upgraded without flashing. This will recalibrate your battery...

@StanSimmons thank you for finding the post.
in the recovery console
Code:
mount data
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
reboot
Good job finding that post. I wish they would open the thread back up just for the troubleshooting info it contained.

they don't want it to turn into another "I hate google" thread. i am pretty much sure that is the reason they locked it.
so if i delete batterystats.bin , the battery indicator would back to normal ?not just going up by only 1% for every 10 minutes ?

I don't know, try it and find out. The worst you will do is waste a few minutes entering in a command and rebooting

what command ? im not a tech savvy guy...so i will make sure all things are ok before doing anything to the phone.
i put the command up in the first page of this hread ,and it was still there when i looked a minute ago.
so after i deleted the file, and i go to the recover console and type the commands and thats it right ?
i tried....didnt work....
i rebooted to recovery mode, then select console..input the commands....reboot the phone...problem still not solved....hmmm
If I remember correctly wasn't the procedure for resetting the battery to completely drain the battery till the phone shuts off on it's own, then charge the battery while the power is off till charging light turns green, then when you boot your phone use the terminal or adb to remove batterystats.bin

Yes those are the proper instructions. Don't do this very often though, its not good for Li-ion batteries
What an interesting problem. I have never run across this problem before.
I'm using rugglez New Year's gift (cm10 on new BL, BB30a)
I found my battery status not drop on each % and it will decrease only the screen is on. i can use the setting battery to see the history but it is not in detail and it will be erased after phone is shut down.
Also, using battery widget monitor can't read the actual status too, when i woke up and the phone is shut down, BWM apps history only shows a drop from 82% to 0% in one second.
what can be done to solve this problem?
i just want the battery status shows the actual condition even the screen is off for the monitoring purpose.
i remember that i have seen solution on DJ ICS post, but i don't know can the patch be applied on cm10 new BL

Try the app betterbatterystats (paid), and try to let battery go to 0%, fully charge it, go into CWM and clear battery stats
Anyone know how to enable battery percentage?
Mines just shows the battery but it does show the percentage when I'm charging the phone.
I want it to show permanently. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Phone is unlocked and rooted

There's a button for that.
Is there a different mod (ADB?) or app that shows battery percentage next to the battery? Perhaps there's a Nexus Trickster mod or something I'm overlooking? The app for non rooted phones is hard to see the numbers after 60% . I'd like to see something that has a 99% next to the battery and is the same size as the clock text.
If you are stocked and rooted check this thread out. Right now it just adds the battery percentage next to the battery, but by reading through the thread you will see there are going to be a lot more options added. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/modpack-mcr-modpack-nexus-6-r1-t2996168
I never use NFC and I'm sure it's off, but for some reason in battery it's shown to drain a lot of the battery
my phone is rooted btw

If you never use it, try freezing the service, see if that helps. Because even when (never) I use NFC it never uses that many resources. Or just restart your phone if you didn't already.
Look under settings/more and see if it's off.
The "Phone idle" process in this phone is drainage a lot of battery, about 20% average. I understand for Android 6 Google have stricter requirements to list battery stats, but since this device don't have that yet I don't really know what's really causing it.
It's not a big deal yet because the battery life is very good on it's own, so I still have plenty of battery after the end of the day. For now I will try disabling all the gesture features and see if that's the culprit.
I've heard that if you have a lousy LTE signal where you spend most of your time, your phone constantly looks for a better signal and that process drains the battery. How's your signal strength? Maybe try airplane mode and see if that makes a difference.
battery drain in idle is at least 5-6%. noticed that i had battery up in full charge before going to bed and by the morning it was at 94%. no calls/messages/alarms/notifications during that time. however all background sync tasks were running
Not sure whats causing this . Only getting 4 hours sot. Main reason i got it for my work phone because of battery life. Any tips would be great. I have sync on for work email. And lte and almost anything automatic. Had a moto for work before and got 6 hours of sot

I noticed when I turned on Black Screen Gestures the phone drained a lot faster. I turned it off and disabled a bunch of apps and this is what I got so far.
I am getting very good battery life. Stock everything except for root. Black screen gesture on, google now disabled.

When I rooted my phone, I had to "factory reset" (formatted /data and /cache). I am using sim slot 2 only since I don't want to take the battery out to swap sim if needed. I am not using an SD card.
this is mine . do you see all the Awake . its by android system and idle
this is from the battery monitor app
That's strange.. Something is wrong with that graph for sure.. Have you tried using your phone in safe mode?

how do you disable google now anyways. i only have google now cards turn off i cant find setting to completely disable it.
is this even accurate
1000 mah? instead of 3150mah
I am rooted, I have Greenify, Xposed, and Amplify installed This combination seems to make sure the phone goes in to deep sleep now. Using CPU Spy I was able to see that my phone was not going in to deep sleep very much.

You can disable Google Now by dialing the Google search app. Or if you have a back up, you can delete the priv-app/velvet folder.
I am getting big time phone drain and I don't even have a SIM card in yet. Battery graph says the phone is awake the whole time. I had black screen gestures enabled but I'm gonna try to disable those.
My phone standby is about 10% drop per day. Dual SIM standby, one AT&T , one TMO.
It drained mine as well. What I was able to do in order to offset it was twofold Xposed and 'prevent running' app. Then simply a matter of disabling everything you can think of that will not interfere with booting. I can list what worked for me as far as apps and system apps if you'd like. I have total 57 and testing tomorrow more. Just over half are system apps like play store play services google+, etc...
Doing that saved almost enough to offset near 25-30% average. Idle as yours. Next I simply adjusted my habits with keeping GPS off, WiFi on though even sleeping.
THE biggest issue is Adups spyware comes pre installed on it. It collects every letter typed, site seen, text sent..All of it. Using terminal emulator and pm disable works until reboot. Freezing it seems to trigger more hidden like com.fw.upgrade.fota.sysoper to collect. I tell you as well many claim to remove it I have tried 12 ways. It is a battle and 1 I contacted BLU over this to no avail. Second BLU phone and last. Huawei, Samsung and ZTE also have this installed for this phone they are (at least the known ones)
com.adups.fota
com.adups.fota.sysoper
com.fw.upgade.fota.sysoper
There are more but offhand I forget them. *.quicksearch something and what is not stock browser but similarly named.
*.sysoper anything is assuredly as are anything with adups in the name. Use Mixplorer and sqlitedb viewer and go to /data/data find the folders and look at the db's it is everything. Sent to a server in Shanghai every 72 hours or less
