Hi, all

I have a problem in my SE xperia mini, after rooting with zergrush version 4 and running the script the fixes overheating problem, I got my battery miscalibrated,
the battery indicator goes from 15% to 1% in a second then warning of shutting down,
I have tried the two highest rated battery calibration on market but it gets worse
It started to shut down at 11% then at 15% now at 17%
is there any tool that can fix that problem, please note that I'm running version 4.0.2.a.0.42 and I only rooted the phone without flashing any custom ROMs

thanks a lot in advance

There is no such thing as battery calibration for Android.
That is because batteries do not have any kind of memory effect. NONE AT ALL.

Even this batterystats.bin file doesn't affect anything, it only contains information about what has used battery and how much, only for the battery usage page.

Don't believe me, go check the link in my signature.

Thank you, so can I ask .. how to adjust my battery indicator :) ?
it shuts down at 15% after rooting, is that a coincidence :) ?

ok buddy i also have xperia mini and i faced the overheat problem and i was on v 62 firmware so i downgrade to v 42 then root the phone and used the gscript and
now the phone works fine no problems now you tell me that u have a kind
battery problem so as you said the problem is software and you have 2 possible
solutions :

1- try to unroot your phone

2 - upgrade your phone to v 62 and dont be afraid the overheat problem
wont come back in the new version 62 or any time

I have the same problem but I'm getting 52% to 0%.
I tried battery calibration with app and cwm battery wipe. No success.
Read somewhere today that charging battery with the phone off and don't let it charging for a long time can solve the problem.
I'll give it a try.
I have it stock and rooted, no alternative rom instaled.

As I said, there is no such thing as battery calibration.

Also, there is no such thing as too long charging. Charging is stopped via specific onboard circuit, if battery is full so there is no chance of overcharging.

Overheat problem exists in 62 too.What he can do is update over the air (OTA) to 62 to maintain root.

I tried just one time.
I let the phone die with no battery and fully charged it with power off.
Now it's ok again.
Give it a try.

a solution

Dear all,

I found a solution for this problem, I hope it will be useful for people that are facing it

after my battery was totally discharged and the phone shut down, I removed the battery ... waited for a while .. then inserted it again ... powered on the phone with charger cabled plugged .. then the phone started to charge normally again 1% 2% 3% ..etc and when it was fully charged I unplugged the charger, it drained normally to 1%

thank you all for your tips.

Quote altered slightly for length.
I have this same problem and i get consistent shut downs at 72% then 53% and every few minutes of usage afterward however this is on my Xperia Play! So perhaps this is a similar issue, I've been needing to solve this for a long time and hope this works! I'll try it asap but I can never seem to fully drain my battery! So I'll just leave the machine for a week and see if it drains! (crosses fingers + Knocks on wood)
