[Q] Phone will not charge above 79% running GingerDX

Hi, I'm so sorry if this is been answered already but I can't find it.
I am running GingerDX on my X8 with stock kernel.
Everything is completely functional apart from when I charge my phone it stops charging at 79% and wont go any further, another related problem is that sometimes the phone doesn't realise when it has been plugged in to charge. The second point isnt such a major problem but it may be related.
I will be very thankful if someone could tell me how to fix this, I think it may be a software thing but i am not sure. I am a bit of newbie to this whole rooting thing.
Thanks

Assuming you have a certain version of CWM, you can try to recalibrate the battery by wiping the battery stats (Get into CWM by pressing the "Back" key at the SE bootlogo and navigate to advanced > wipe battery stats).
This resets the scale the battery uses to meassure the voltage that's left on it.
The loader might be a problem of some dust in the contact points of your phone.
I hope i've helped any bit

Xperia T Battery Problems - Like Never Before

First things first, this is my first time posting on XDA Developers and yes I have searched the forums for a similar question/answer and only found one but my I had a small additional problem as well.
Problem 1) My battery indicator is always wrong, one time it says it's 50% and then I restart my phone and then it says 15%, then I play games until it's 12% and then restart again and then the phone now says 20%.
Problem 2) When my battery indicator is incorrect, when I turn off my phone, the xperia T will just restart and then I have to turn it off again.
What I've done;
- I used sony's repair software online (Sony PC Companion)
- Used ICS format option
- Exchanged Xperia T for another one at Carphone Warehouse 2-3 days ago (Original purchase was last week)
- Drained the battery from 100% to 0% and then charged it again.
NOTE: My Xperia T was bought from UK (Carphone Warehouse) and I haven't flashed it onto another ROM nor have I rooted the phone and the phone is unlocked too.
NOTE 2: I had exchange the phone once and still same problems occurred, dunno if I'm "Bad Luck Brian" this week or all certain xperia T's behave this way.

I have come across the issue of the phone restarting on power off. Quite strange but yet couldnt isolate as to why it does it.
Just gt my phone exchanged due to a suspected bad microphone, and the new one too restarted on a power off.
The previous one seemed quite good with battery life and the new one is yet on the 1st cycle of drain.

Yes, occasionaly my phone does a restart instead of a power off, but i find it quitw usefull because normally I am rebooting to get into recovery and I hate not having a reboot option...
Well done sony
EDIT
The other thing that bigs me is the random reboots...does anyone else get this on stock kernel. I am advanced v3 stock kernel.

Good to hear the restart is a common thing
I've had a random reboot once, while running sat nav sw (sygic).

Today I exchanged my phone to Galaxy Note 2, couldn't be happier.
Also, I've contacted Sony before the exchange (and after this thread was posted) and they said that the issue is known by Sony and it's unknown if it's a software or hardware problem for now, wish you guys good luck and hopefully it's a software bug

In the past month on which I own the device I maybe had one or two random reboots. All stock only rooted. So my guess is its in the advance kernel. Since most people who have it have a unlocked bootloader

I haven't experienced any restarts but my battery level indicator is a bit hit and miss.
I can run my batt down to, say, 5% then turn the screen off and leave it for a while and it'll report something like 15% when I turn the screen back on several minutes later. It will also stay working for AGES when at 1% - my best effort was just under an hour of video with 1% being reported!
I'm sure it'll all get fixed in an update. The T is much more stable than my G-Note was just after release, it took months for Samsung to sort things out on it!

Not random reboots nor battery level issues. Currently in fw 195.

The first 2 weeks of my tx, it could stay at 100% for several hours even over night.
After that, It could stay at 1% for up to 3 hours. Lol
The indicator is not Accurate, but hey, I got pretty good battery life out of TX, around 30hrs per charge.

As for the battery indicator: the percentage is calculated based on the current the battery puts out. The problem with current batteries is, if you pull a lot of energy in a short amount of time (boot/reboot, play game, other hard phone use) the current temporarily drops and thus a wrong percentage is calculated. After a while, the current recovers and the correct value will be shown. Comparable to the fuel gauge showing less/more fuel when parked at a steep hill.
This explains how the meter can fluctuate. What I cant answer is if your phone acts inside the "tolerance margin" or if its way off. My Galaxy Note recently went from 30% to 5% in a couple minutes (I used the hell out of it...) and after I stopped using it, it went back to 15% overthe following 30 mimutes.
As for the other issue, I obviously cant help as I dont possess a X T.

So far battery life seems insane with the extended standby mode... Haven't run a full day yet but it's barely dropping at all for the last couple hours.

Sony T restart problems
Hey guys,
Just looking at sony website, i searched xperia t and in the tutorial it said that holding the power off button turns the phone off while holding the power off button and volume up button at the same time makes it restart. All you guys saying you've got problems with the device re-booting. ITS NOT THE DEVICE ITS YOU PRESSING THE VOLUME UP BUTTON:silly: . A little research never hurts every once in a while!!!!!!!!!!

Noticed the battery percentage peculiarities too... Can't we hide the battery percentage altogether? It makes me anxious.
Had only 1 reboot on the other hand, while going into airplane mode. Phone is pretty stable (build 223).

I was having the same problem + some. Got a replacement TL and it behaves normally Read this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355862 if it sounds familiar get a replacement ASAP

That's 3 VERY old threads you have dug up, can I ask the reason why you are doing so?

[Q] Stamina Mode icon on Xperia T?

Hi, I got a new Sony Xperia T yesterday, and it's on 4.1.2 (it's bootloader unlocked which really sucks because I was looking forward to getting some custom ROMs). I installed JuiceDefender as Stamina Mode isn't (yet, hopefully it does come soon) available on the Xperia T, but I seem to be getting the Stamina Mode icon in my status bar. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help is greatly appreciated.

1) If your bootloader is unlocked you CAN install custom kernels
2) Juice defender is not needed on JB roms (IMHO)
3) That is not the stamina mode icon, it is extended standby mode. Look for the setting in power management in settings.

Thanks for the reply:
Sorry, I meant it is bootloader locked, not unlocked, haha
Do you think you could elaborate on this and explain why? I found that the battery drained really quickly so I thought the best thing to do would be to get JuiceDefender, but I am certainly open to suggestions.
Thanks, I read elsewhere that it was the stamina mode icon so that's what got me confused!

The ROM handles that stuff better. I have not used JD since I got onto ICS. In the end it becomes more of a battery hog than it can save.
With stock apps like smart connect and location based wifi you can set up profiles that do what JD does.
If you have the phone new then it will take a week or so for the battery to settle down, so do expect big battery drain for a week, then it will settle down.

Thanks for the informative comments, I've read so many mixed reviews of JuiceDefender but I have uninstalled it and instead installed AutomateIt, and created triggers so that when I turn the screen off, it turns WiFi & mobile data off. Do you think this is a good choice? Once again, thanks for your help!

No, Leave the phone to do it itself
Extended stanby mode turns off data when the screen is off.
I suggest that everybody goes at least a month without trying any of these apps, you will see that (IMHO) they don't make any difference and can, in fact, make things worse by clashing with what the hone itself wants to do.

Ah okay, I shall try just using Sony's standby mode, and I'll uninstall AutomateIt. Hopefully this helps my battery (and hopefully stamina mode comes to the Xperia T soon too!). Thank you for all of your help.

I left my phone off for about an hour with extended standby mode enabled, but when I returned to use it, the 'History details' page showed that the WiFi was still on the whole time the screen was off:
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Mine does exactly the same, not sure why and when it does this it doesn't really seem to save any battery at all is this normal behavior from the phone?

have you tried calibrating your battery? if you haven't try this.. i always do this when my battery gets miscalibrated. 1st turn off your phone, take out the battery and leave it for 1 to 2 minutes, put the battery back, go to recovery mode and to CWM recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats, reboot your phone
give feedback if it works or not,,

This doesnt calibrate the battery,it only delete the logfile of the battery.i think he need a new one.please op,next time ask in right section.
MANY GREEEEEETZ!!!

Use only 2G Networks

1. Proper way to calibrate battery:
Drain the battery completely (use an Xposed module called disable critical battery shutdown, google it). Then, recharge the battery to 100% (DON'T unplug the charger cable while charging) and done.
2. Underclock when necessary.
3. Don't run too many apps at one time.
4. Make sure that deepsleep is working.

1. You can use Wakelock Detector from Play Store.
2. It is normal behavior...... if the battery status won't move from 99% to 100% after 1-2 hours (while charging), there might be a problem.

Battery stats gone wrong @ C6603 ?

Hey guys ,what's been keeping me suspicious is that my battery stats appear totally wrong , not like it goes from 30% to 0% or something like that but the usage time is decreased ( I am always using Stamina Mode) and the funniest thing is that i think the hours have turned into days where it goes to battery life meter... see for yourself i added screenshots..
I remember downloading some kind of app from google play which was suppose to reset batterystats or something like that ,but at that time i was running custom boot.img and spikelabz xz v2 performance ROM , now i'm running original kit-kat update with stock boot.img but unlocked bootloader , so any ideas what's going on ?
as far as i'm using the phone, like music or using wi-fi it won't make it more than 4-5hours

You should be able to wipe battery stats from recovery (if you're rooted), or you can download an app to do it by searching the Play Store for "battery calibration". The app/option in recovery won't actually re-calibrate your battery though, it'll only reset the battery monitor. To re-calibrate the battery, drain your battery completely until it shuts itself off and then charge it up to 100% again without turning it on.

This is forum is for the Xperia Z Ultra which has a different chipset and ROM selections.
I have requested that the thread be moved to the correct section in order for your question to be answered by those more likely to be experienced with the ROM and the device.

Done
Thank you for your opinions.
I took care of the phone by switching off Stamina mode , playing some games,using wi-fi then when the phone automatically switched off , turned it back once again and then recharged it through usb connected to PC but not switching on , after first switch on i turned on Stamina mode and i could hold 1% for more than 4hours in standby ! Before it was like one percent per hour in standby mode..
