[ Guide ] Fix Battery Drain Issue ( Root Required )

---

Guys This is my 1st Post on XDA.. So pls bare the mistakes that i make..

Am a Photon user for around a Month, i had a gr8 Battery life in the 1st, and after When i tried MIUI and CM9 and CM7 and rolled back to Stock Rom, my Battery life got messed up pretty badly..

I tried to drain the battery till my Photon died and recharged it again to 100% for 3 to 4 times, still no use at all..
As soon as Unplug the Charge from my Photon, 10% drops inside 30min without any issue..

I was digging our Photon section and i down a guide somewhere regarding battery calibration after a Fresh Rom install..

So what i did now is.

My Device is Rooted but no CWM in it.

I went into Play store and grabbed a free of a APP called Battery Calibrator
Installed it and Charged my Photon to 100%.
As soon i get notification that my device is fully charged, without unplugging the device from the charger, i launched the Battery Calibrator App and Click Calibrate Now button in the bottom and unplugged it from the charger..

Booommmm... 3hr 5min still at 100% with wifi turned on, few min of call and msgs. Still am at 100%

Let me know guys if this works out for you too..

I think your exaggerating a little. I will try it soon, and post results.

yeah... i think your phone is playin a joke on you. if its still showing 100%, then its probably showing the date as April 1st.

if u r unlocked, wiping stats is the best way. if not unlocked... well you are missing out on alota greatness with an unlocked photon.

Throw the finger to wimax (never was great and never will be, dead) and unlock

Sounds like you just wiped battery stats and the manager of the Android framework engineering department at google chimed in to debunk this process impacting battery life.

Not saying it's all placebo, but Dianne Hackborn is lol

I did expose a motorola bug while playing around one day which sucked a battery from full to dead in about 4 hours. Turns out moto has a bug where if you start the process of adding a new sync account, and back out or don't complete the process, it causes a wake lock and kills the device. Battery pulls, wiping cache/delvik/etc ... none of that works. Once i tied the mystery wake lock back to the add accounts bug, i deleted my accounts, set them back up, and the wake lock was gone which returned my battery life. I suffered through this for about 4 days and it was completely frustrating.

Cheers!

P.S. Maybe this can be moved to general?

Is this real?
In my experience, the phone goes to 99% IMMEDIATELY after you unplug off the charger.
Are you sure something didn't go screwy with your phone?
