Looking for a battery recalibrate hack...

---

Hiya,

I was poking around the forums a couple days ago and I stumbled across a hack that recalibrates the phone's battery STATUS, it doesn't do anything about helping battery life or anything.

Last night when I was about to go to sleep I had a battery life of 32%. I plugged in the phone, and immediately restarted it. When it booted up again, I kid you not, it had 63% battery life. I turned off the phone while plugged in to see the battery icon, the one that shows.the battery status while its charging with the phone off, and indeed it showed around 63,65%.

Anyone know where I could find this? I think its buried somewhere on the forums.

THIS WILL HELP RECALIBRATE YOUR BATTERY SO YOU DON'T HAVE THAT ISSUE

1.Charge till full when powered on
2.power off
3.charge till full again
3.boot into recovery(adb reboot recovery or Power off the phone and then hold the volume up + Volume down + the power key. When it goes black the 2nd time release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons.)
3.wipe stats by going into Clockworkmod recovery -> advanced -> wipe battery stats.
4.boot and continue to use as normal

Heres 1 from another board:
""So, you are having trouble with your battery seemingly draining too quickly, especially after having flashed many ROMs/Kernels/etc...
It is possible that the problem (or part of the problem) is not necessarily the phone using too much power. If this is the case for you, you should see some results from doing the following:
1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%
2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).
4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.
6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.
You should only need to use this sequence one time.
Hope this helps.-Joeybear23"""
