Guest slarti99 Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Getting random switch offs even with full battery charge. Then have to hold down the power button for 30secs to get it to boot. Battery shows it is over 80% charged when I get back in. Anyone else had this. I am not sure if its battery or phone related. About to recalibrate the battery anyway.

Guest stellablade Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) I tried this procedure but haven't noticed any improvement at all. Still the same poor battery life. Edited March 12, 2011 by stellablade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Silpion Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Remember to read this before calibrating your battery: Your battery gauge is lying to you (and it's not such a bad thing) Recalibrating prevents the security measures to automatically discharge the battery to approx. 90% after charging. It is a trade for higher initial battery capacity but you pay with a higher battery wear, which reduces the maximum capacity over time and thus is only useful if you are buying new batteries every few months.

Guest Jonny Murray Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Did it yesterday at 10am and woke up this morning at 4am and battery was on 23% which is worse than before , i made a point of not using it but juts leaving it on standby, although checking stats maps had eaten a good percentage of the memory even though i hadnt run it.

Thanks a lot, I didn't know. Is there any way to revert the battery recalibration to the factory stats? I also suggest to place the quoted text in big in the initial post, since not many people will read this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest danmanbad Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Hello people, This may interest you (from Reddit): Full Article User ebola1986's experience: Summary: 1.Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged. 2.Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off. 3.Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. 4.Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. 5.Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green. 6.Disconnect the phone, power it on in clockwork recovery, and wipe batt stats. You need to use this sequence only once. Because we are using the Blade ignore the "green LED" because Blade goes green at 90%. Just charge it for a while, max it out each time. Enjoy, Andy i used the above methard it worked for me thanks for the info i found another way of doing it There is also an app on the market called "battery calibrator" by DAMO that deletes the batterystats with out using clockwork just follow the instructions Edited April 3, 2011 by danmanbad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest josephxx Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 For me, it worked perfectly (I mean the guide, not the app above) - and the difference is very quite obvious. When I bought the phone (and after new ROM), battery lasts just for a full day (lots of full-brightness screen activity/photo viewing, 10 minutes of WiFi, no data/gaming). After calibration, it will easily last for three days of the same activity - it doesn't show even 1% discharge during night-time when I'm sleeping. Modaco R12, if that interests anyone.

Guest glossywhite Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 (edited) My goodness, what a difference it makes to calibrate! I calibrated and then left my phone on all night last night (unplugged) from 04:30am GMT and it has been used all day today from 13:00gmt until now, and I *still* have 46% remaining. Great tip - you SO need to "sticky" this! Edited April 16, 2011 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest glossywhite Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 UPDATE My phone was taken off charge, fully charged, at 04:30 am Saturday night (16th April). The phone has had constant "average" use since then, and the battery died at 17:30pm tonight, Sunday 17th April. So, that's 37 hours between charges! Wonderful! Something should be installed into all future ROMs, to allow this calibaration process to take place automatically, if that is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XpressAndy Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'm on RLS4. The notification LED in my case never turns green! It just turns white/off after 90%. What could be the reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N3M35I5 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 i did mine today as i was sick of having to charge it all the time. my phone does get a thrashing from me as of constant use but this seems to of helped a bit (i think) i wont know for sure until i test it out over a few days but iv been texting alot and doing a few bits and bobs on it for 5 hours and im on 56% battery. not great in my eyes but im running an overclocked cm7 with full brightness and either data or wifi on constantly and i have a few applications running in the background like ringo and sms popup etc.. im not sure if my battery life is good for my setup but i suppose it will have to do :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XpressAndy Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 3.Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. Its been almost half n hour. The LED stays RED only!!! It was 100% charged when I turned it off and put for charging. Should I just procedd to next step or keep waiting for LED to turn green! It never turns green when I charge it when phone is ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm not sure about this, but you may have to wait a bit after you turned your phone off before plugging the charger in. Can't remember where, but I saw stg about waiting for a few secs or removing the battery before plugging in. Anyway I had the same issue as you, so I turned on, then off again, waited for 30secs and removed the battery, and when I plugged in after a few secs the led turned green... Well this could be for many reasons, but you can still give it a try! Edit: ok forget it, don't know what's the rule behind this but what I just wrote doesn't help at all! ^^" Edited April 21, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
