Someone asked a similar question, but the last reply is a year old and the last reply was about settling. I don't want to just settle if I don't have to, I'm curious as to why.
Decided to try using a Droid 4 again, and I've been running into what killed me off of it in the first place: serious battery level issues.
It seems that every custom ROM I try has a broken battery meter:

This is CM 13 or 14 (Marshmellow or Nougat), I don't remember. Was actually looking for a different screenshot and realized that this had what I needed too
(I dont know CM versions as well,so please excuse me if I'm naming them wrong)
I'd say that its a battery problem, but If I go back to stock this doesn't happen (90% sure on that. I'm in the process of doing some more testing and actually documenting things. Wanted to toss something out while I wait for file transfers to see if anyone else gets this.
I think I once used a modified stock rom and it worked without battery cliffs either. This is my second D4, and the first had the same jumps in battery too.
To be fair, the same thing started happening with my HTC Thunderbolt, albeit on stock and a bit more drastically.

Try resurection remix it works pretty good on my droid 4. Its the unnofficial version ported to the droid 4 by transil. It is in the development section for this device. Also if you use bettery battery stats you can get the apk here on xda. You can use this apk to see what is draining your battery.

when DC v2.08.1 came out i downloaded it just like all the other DC ROMS prior. At first i noticed some improvements in battery and performance, but after a few days of using it i decided to check what has been using the battery in settings.. this is what i came across

crazy thing is i hadn't used the camera that day... i monitored it for the next few days and still no matter what i do on the phone throughout the day, it always shows these same stats.. the great thing about all this is my battery would last past 24 hours no matter what i did on the phone..
i ended up flashing DC v2.09.1 (cause im a flashaholic) and couldn't get the same results.. well i decided to nandroid back to 2.08.1 but i lost the battery performance i was getting before... when i checked whats been using the battery, it would show normal things that i've used and cell standby and phone idle would be back to about 40% each... so i decided to wipe and reflash DC v2.08.1.. low and behold, after about 3 days, its back to 96% camera, 2% cell standby, and 2% phone idle.
my question is does anyone know how, or why this is happening?? im loving how long my battery last and the speed of my phone because of this.. i just wanna make sure it stays like this.. or maybe how to make this happen on other ROMs cause im sure im gonna flash another one again soon...
(oh and by the way, im not missing any phone calls, text messages, or emails.. everything is working perfectly)
It happened to me a few times while on dc, rebooting would set it back to normal.
I read around here somewhere that ir wasit was a sense bug..i forget where...
I don't have any useful information sadly.

rebooting doesnt change anything for me (which is a good thing)..
Now that you mention it, I had the same experience, yet didn't realize it at the time, being new to rooting/roms/etc...i have lately been using stock 2.1 rooted without updating..and really noticed the difference in battery life. Got me thinkin' now.
Ok, i searched and couldnt find anything like this, so if there's already answered somewhere please point me in the right direction.
Lately, sometimes i've been getting these sudden drops on battery when i check the chart it looks something like this:

Info:
Stock JVT ROM
CF-Root 4.3 Kernel
Yes, i've flashed my phone with another ROMs (CM7.1, JVS, JVT) and yes, i've calibrated the battery. I started getting these even before i started messing with the phone's ROM/Kernel (with the stock unrooted JVH the phone came with).
Is it normal? Is there something wrong with the batery?

That looks more like your phone is doing a reboot. When your phone reboots it uses some battery so the "stats" will show lower after the phone have booted again.
i didnt reboot my phone and i don't really think it rebooted (not sure tho)
Noticed it looks like there was a signal drop at that time? When your phone loses signal it spends a lot of power searching for it, so that could explain it.

That screeny clearly shows a red area in signal line, so certainly signal dropped so it could be the reason for such a huge battery drop in such an instance. Has happened to me before, when I keep my phone switched off for some minutes.

Bought in November of 2011, my Galaxy Note 1 does not react to any (combinations of) button pressing anymore.
1. It was bought in Germany through Amazon.de; the so-called international unlocked version.
2. Absolutely no rooting.
3. How it got bricked (or dead): at some moment (while using) it stopped reacting and automatically reboot but failed.
4. What happened before: around one month before that, I found the original battery last less and less time, and what's more of my concern, the battery is obviously inflated, which might present a safety problem. So I bought a new battery through Amazon.com (actually two, but the first one did not work at all, so I bought another from a different seller; didn't expect that batteries can also have this kind of "fitting" problem).
5. What I have tried: I didn't spend much time in this because I didn't have much time. What I tried was to use Ordin to install a new (stock) system to it, but failed because Ordin said something like "connection problem". Later the phone cannot enter the download mode because it does not react to any button-pressing anymore.
6. Could it be that the battery is dead: I hope so, but it seems the battery cannot be charged (I tried to charge it for many times).
7. All those happened a few months ago. Today I happened to see the original battery of the phone, and found that it is amazingly so inflated that it looks like a balloon, and I wonder how could it be fitted into the phone if I didn't bought a replacement (and if the phone was not bricked, of course):

I had the same problem. I had to use a friends note to charge my original battery after draining it completely.
try to use one of those universal chargers.they're cheap(about 2 euros),but they to the right job. Or use another note to charge the battery.NEVER try use odin on less than 70% battery.
Hi, I have an ROG Phone II on Android 10 version 17.0240.2108.103, and a lot of my apps have blurry icons when I'm inside the apps for no apparent reason, almost like it's loading the wrong DPI for the icons. Snapchat, YouTube, Google maps, Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, and my Asus router app are all effected in some capacity. I attached screenshots of the apps I've noticed the issue in so far.. any ideas would be helpful. Deleting the apps and reinstalling them doesn't help

BUMP. I see all the views/replies every other post gets, c'mon, someone has to know something about this. I'm tired of everything on my phone looking like garbage

That's what my plan was, but I still don't have any OTA notification over a month after release.
I haven't looked much into updating manually, but it seems more complex than I'd like.
I'll be going for any other brand the next time I need a phone. This poor software support really sucks. I sent an inquiry about the headphone jack not functioning on the fan accessory when using the gamepad attachment, and never got anything useful back out of it.
My first Android phone was an Essential PH-1 and getting updates the same time as Pixel devices really spoiled me. Security updates were always current, as well. Much better experience overall, on a much more limited device.

Update: I dropped the . ZIP OTA file into root, and it fixed all the issues I was having.
It also removed a gesture I liked having to get to the app tray. "innovation" they call it.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it! At least the icons look better now

I switched to 12.5 ROM like a year ago after Xiaomi didn't deliver it as an update from the stock 12.0 ROM as they promised. I first checked the Google Pixel OS and did not enjoy the extremely basic UI then decided to turn back to MIUI since I actually like how it looks. While I was at it I decided to load the latest version possible.
I rooted the thing to experiment but ended up not being able to find much to gain with it since it is a failed product that didn't sell well, there were not many software stuff for it. Anyway out of curiosity I recently installed 3DMark and it performed very bad compared to average score. It looked like it wasn't boosting to max clock speeds so I tried forcing it to max clock speeds for both GPU and CPU with root Android toolbox. This somehow made it worse and get 800 points which is only better than %1 Mi8 phones that finished this test. So I reverted the changes and got the same 1140 ish score I got before. Tried testing it again while it was plugged to the charger with no difference. Max temperature was 33C which makes me believe it is not boosting to right clock speeds.
To be honest phone still feels ok to use and battery life is enough for me since I recently replaced the battery. So I will not be installing another OS if it is the only reason for the low score since I don't really care benchmark scores as long as I have a smooth experience. But I would like to know why it is so bad and if there is a way to solve the issue without re-flashing the whole thing. I also don't want to re-flash it since last time I tried loading back the stock ROM from the whole backup I created and it somehow randomly failed in the middle of it and corrupted the partition that was responsible to making it connect to SIM and Wifi and it was a pain in the ass to figure out what happened and fix it from the old save file I had.
I am also very bored by using this thing but don't really want to buy a new phone while they stagnated this much over the past years in terms of technological advancement. I am planning to make a custom 3D printed back for it and install like a 10K mah battery to BMS board of my old battery and unlock all the clock limits on the software to fully unlock its potential. Does anyone know where can I get a CAD file for this phone so I can design the stuff I need for this.
