[Q] Battery Issues

---

Last night I was have force close issues with a game so i did a soft reset(took battery out) and to my surprise it powered back on to 3% battery life. I lost over 60% battery life doing a soft rest.So i quiclky threw it on the charger and left it there all night. I woke up this morning afrer 8 hours of charging to only 28% battery life. I unplugged it and plugged it back in verified it was charging and took a shower and all that when I was finished and ready for work I looked at phone still charging and unplugged it and still only 28% battery life. Anybody else see this problem?

Try an actual reboot? Try to let the battery die and see what happens? Lastly did you try a hard reset?

Yes, I suspect the battery is not really down. Today I had the phone on charger, when I went to unplug I hit the button to wake up the phone and it said only 5% remaining and to plug it into the charger. I then unplugged and went into the battery widget and it said 99%, WTF. Once before it was fully charged, took it off the charger an in a minute or so it was dead, put it back on the charger and it took forever for it to get to 27% but as soon as it hit 29% it went straight to 100% instantly. I suspect the software.

There are a lot of people reporting similar battery issues. You might download battery monitor widget and put battery temps in the notifications bar because you might be having high battery temps, which can fry a battery. Some people have had batteries replaced but I'm not sure it isn't a general software issue with charging. Hopefully the upcoming update will take care if this.

Is there a good solution or quick way to see the actual % of the battery?

I always use battery life for accurate temp and % since the hero days

Are you running a custom rom? Might be a software issue when reporting the battery life. Could try a hard reset to verify.

How are you guys getting the battery to show in 1% increments?

There's various battery widgets on the market. I use batter monitor widget. It has a notificationbar display you can use without turning on the recording function.

Cool, thanks. I've been using battstatt pro and battery indicator pro and they just mimic the MoPho's displaying usage in 10's. I'll try the battery monitor widget.
