It is a problem with the battery stats. HOWEVER. I've read somewhere (cant remember where ) that even though its an annoying problem. Re-setting the battery stats will not improve battery life. It will give you a more accurate representation but the battery life will stay the same.

Instead of messing around ressetting stats just remember that 13% = dead battery.

just my 2c

Some batteries shut down with 13%, some with 20%, some with 1% and others with something between. As long as you did not notice a strange battery drain, I would just stick with 13% = dead battery (as already mentioned).

I guess it depends on the battery. I have one that goes almost until 0% and I have another one that holds only until about 11% or so... 13 is not that bad!

My desire did this, except it shut down at around 20%. I just bought a new battery, not even an official HTC one at this fixed it. Now it shuts down at 0-1%.

So basically, its just the battery imo. My battery was about 1 1/2 years old and had seen better days.

same here

Mine used to do this aswell. Reboot to recovery and clear battery stats? Then full charge and full discharge.
Worked for me at least.

Like every desire user am having this problem too. I often switch between roms. Even after resetting battery stats my desire dies at 15% battery.:confused:

Lol.

It is not a problem any longer since theGanymedes published his great guide.

Notice how he never mentioned wiping battery stats? :D

You need to recalibrate the registers in the battery. There is a special program that does that.

Use this howto and it will be fixed.

BTW, you need to have Cyanogenmod or Oxygen installed for this to work or a distro with a kernel that supports it.
