Hi folks,
my Xperia Active shuts down at 25-30%. I tried to calibrate, but occurs after few full-charges again. phone is rooted, using latest stock ROM 2.3.4. Any ideas? I mean if you have an experience with it - gimme any hints / step-by-step advises. THX many times!!!
I would try to delate battery cache,discharge it few times and format it.i have had this same problem but after them few steps my batt work normaly.What i think your battery was not formated properly on the very start of using it.

calibrate - full charge and remove the battery charge info file
format - full discharge batter, turn phone off, full charge and than turn phone on?
thx
Yep this is what I mean mate.

If you've tried calibrating the battery and thats not work it might be that the batterys faulty. Try a different battery and see if that works.

the battery MUST be ok, as it is only 2.5 months in use in the phone. It worked and after I re-flashed the standard ROM, it worked a few charges and now it went crazy. the Battery Monitor Widget is not able to detect the battery capacity (mAh) and when charging, it indicated 100% at almost 4.00 V, where it shall be 4.2V as 100%.
I will completely discharge the phone, and when it shuts down, will put it to the charger, turn it on, calibrate - erase the battery info, unplug, discharge untill it will completely turn off, charge it with phone being OFF and the, after it will be completely fully charged, turn it on.
will see where the rabbit hole goes...

need help with this problen
flash into xrecovery and wipe battery stats!
Also, calibrate your battery. Fully charge, remove battery, reinstall battery, fully charge again. Repeat 2-3 times until says 100%.
Stock charges to around 88%.

Read this thread: [GUIDE] X10 Battery Calibration
My battery is also causing trouble
I put the phone in charger is loading the phone up to 88 then stops
And when I take out and put in the charger my phone charges up to 100
While the charger still connected is again removed the battery to 88
I have to use the directory that you brought?
Sorry for my english lol
Yeah calibrating your battery almost always will help. Check the market if you haven't yet. There are a couple Apps that will help do it.

Ok thnx
dont use your phone while in charge and then see the status of ur battery.. if u use ur phone while charging, it never charges up fully..
Pls hit a thanks if u r satisfied
I experience this when I leave my X10 charging all night long (turned on). It seems it charges up to 100% and then keeps draining it, despite the connected charger. Have you ever tried offline charging?
I want to charge it when it is turned off. But I do not know if he filled it to the end. Because I do not know what percentage has
That there is no sign of a fully charged battery
After I fully charge the phone, and disconnecting it from the power, the battery suddenly drops to 96-97%, it is normal? I already made a battery calibration past week. Even after I upgraded the phone from XXKG2 to XXKG6, still the same problem here. I bought the phone last month. (by the way, it is rooted and I have on it the 2.3.4 stock)
Post some pictures of the battery usage.
And also some of bestbatterystats.
Try this: After you get the "Fully Charged" notification, try not to take it off charging immediately. Leave it on there for about 10 minutes or so and then take it off of charging, you should see it as 100%. If this does not help. Please post some screenshots of your battery usage screen, we can troubleshoot from there.

Tap your finger on graph above and screenshot that.
Did you calibrate your battery, before or after you upgraded to KG6? If you calibrated it before, then you should try calibrating it again.
1. Charge 100% (best way switch your phone off)
2. Run Battery Calibration
3. Drain the battery until it's totally empty.
4. Charge again 100% (best way switch your phone off)
5. Reboot and enjoy

Yes. It's exactly that.
I think maybe batterystats.bin was not removed, I tried to remove it with Battery Calibration app, but I didn't checked if it was or not. Tommorow or on monday I will try to post some stats from Battery Monitor Widget
That does look very much like a non calibrated battery. Try calibrating it as 'Bruaca' mentioned, and you should be getting the correct readings this time around.

I did another calibration, with the device turned off until battery riches 100%, then I turned it on, then I removed the charger, and it was on 100%, I put the charger back, again after 5 minutes I heard the signal, then I went into Root Explorer and deleted the batterystats.bin, and pulled the charger, now I have 100% + 4143mV, it's normal? or should be more mV?
4143mV sounds a little high. Mine is ~3600. Though I'm getting the opposite problem. What might happen is that I'll leave it on overnight and it'll gain 2 or 3 percent of the battery. I started getting problems charging after I installed font changer, which was also weird. Like, it'll take ages to charge to 100%.
Edit: 4143mV sounds about right for a fully charged battery.
Yea, as the title says.
is there a way to fix this ?
THANKS!
I would try re-calibrating your battery. Try this which is straight from my MIUI guide.... (I suggest method 2 as it is the easiest)....
RECONDITION YOUR BATTERY
AFTER FLASHING IF YOU FIND THAT YOU HAVE BAD BATTERY LIFE TRY ONE OF THE METHODS BELOW TO FIX:
Method One:
Use phone till it dies on its own, completely dead.
Charge phone completely, plus 30 minutes longer.
Unplug phone from charger
Reconnect, you'll notice it's not full, charge till it is again.
This is bump charging and NOT something you want to do often, a few times is okay, in my opinion. You could skip the bump charge if you like.
Phone remains plugged in.
Boot into recovery (volumes + power)
Advanced > wipe battery stats, reboot.
Use phone till it's literally about to shut off (or does) Charge till full + Use phone like normal
OR
Method Two:
Download the Battery Calibration app by NeMa from the Android Market

Tell me if this works for you...
A real battery capped to charge at 96% or 97% due to voltage issues that would occur if charged to complete 100%. But samsungs stock ROMS and most other ROMS are customized to display this 100% when its really not at that level. Since MIUI is based off of CM7(and this is uncredited of course), it is not modified in any way and it displays the actual battery life. Which in your case is 96%. Hope this helps.

Hello. I've been charging my phone the whole night and it only got to 94%. After I restarted the phone, the battery was at 81%. Does anyone knows what's wrong? Thanks.

A little more info would be nice. What rom are you using? Do you have root permissions? Are you s-off?
The first solution is:
On OVO 3D sometime if battery is charged to 100% he starts to use battery power instead of charger so if the light is green you need just to connect the charger again and it will start to charge again.
And the second:
After you installed some kind of ROM you need to calibrate the battery again. You can do by discharging your phone to 3-5% and then charge it to the full. You need to repeat this process few time and then you have calibrated battery.
Sorry but i forget to say that before recharging you need to delete old Battery stats

The first thing is correct. When the phone is fully charged the charging stops and the phone uses power from the battery.
As for your second statement - you are partly right. Even though most developers say the same thing you said I found the battery calibration is the best way to get the most from your battery. I tried everything that developers suggested and it didn´t work so well. Battery calibration did the trick - now my battery life is great
Anker batteries seem to work the best
Hey. Thanks for the replies. I'm using the 4EXT recovery and KingCobra3D - ICS 1.6 ROM. The thing is that my phone doesn't even charge up to 100%. Is it necessary to discharge the phone to 1-5% and then charge it to full and then calibrate via recovery or can I just calibrate the battery without having to discharge it first?
Also, I have root on my phone and S-ON.
My anker battery has reported like 4000 charge since I got it and I tried using the calibrate app but it still reports the same after a few cycles? It should be reporting 1900.

If you don´t use battery calibration you should go into recovery and wipe battery stats. Then boot up and fully charge the phone and let it discharge to 5-15%. Charge it to full and that should be it.
If you use battery calibration just charge to full, enter calibration app, hit calibrate and that is it

Okay the phone charged up to 100% but it took ages. I've downloaded the Battery Calibration app from the Market and hopefully everything's gonna be well now.
I have battery life issue too. I will try battery calibration.
most people here are changing ROMs...and most of the time people say that some ROMS are a big battery drainer..
some move to other ROMs because they noticed that the battery performance of the ROM they are using is changing..
this happens because all the records on the way we charge are saved on the battery stats..sometimes our battery meter says the wrong information. that is why we have to calibrate our battery...we usually do this by going to CWM and wipe battery stats..
but are we really doing it the right way?
here is my guide to do this in the proper way:
i know some of you are using battery calibration from them the market, but all it does is just delete battery_stats.bin from system..But the truth is, the system is still writing the old battery stats if it's erased online...So the only solution is to delete it through recovery...
this is what you need to do:
1.Install Battery Monitor Widget from Market for Monitoring
2.Charge your phone to 100%
3.When done, restart your phone, but go to CWM recovery
4.Go to advanced -> Delete Battery Stats
5.Reboot, you should get battery about 90-100% (depending how much margin has been wrongly calculated)
6.Open Battery Monitor Widget to monitor the voltages. the maximum voltage is 4200mV for Li-Poly battery. Try to reach that value before disconnecting the charger.
7.Before the voltage graph getting dropped, Disconnect the charger immediately. for me it is stopped at max 4190. your mileage may vary.
8.You're done, your battery is calibrated..
kind regards,
baiclark
Thanks for the tips

Guys!! Wipe battery stats is havent nothing to do with battery life!! There is only info about battery drain of every app and time of theses app. Also battery stats are wipe every time when you charge battery above 90% so this function in cwm is practicaly useless.

For sudden drops to 0% Sony Service recommends that you charge the phone to 100%, remove the usb cable and the battery for at least 10 minutes. Return the battery to your device, turn the power back on and put your phone back on the usb charger until it hits 100%.
