Battery indicator shows "Unknown"

[MateiF]

Hi guys !

May be someone could help me with this.

Since the original Diamond battery was too "small" I've ordered an enhanced battery, 1800 mAh, from Easy Devices UK.

Everything went fine with my 1.37 ROM.

But then, after upgrading to the 1.93.831.1 WWE ROM, I have the following problem: the battery indicator shows a battery with an exclamation sign on it and when I go to "Settings\System\Power", instead of displaying the remaining battery charge, it only displays "Unknown"!

This happens only with the 1800 mAh battery (with the 900 mAh one, it works fine).

The 1800 mAh battery can be normally charged (but I have to guess when it's full, because I have no indicator) and then normally used (but , I don't know how much is left, which is very unpleasant.

Did anyone of you have this ? Is any way around ?

Thanks,
Matei

Hi guys !

Exactly the same issue for me (except I have never tested it on original ROM, directly on a new SwiftBL cooked ROM). battery bought from GPSForLess via eBay.
As MateiF said, it's seem it's a ROM issue as battery works correctly on 1.37 ROM.
So, does-it exist a workaround or a special file/driver for new 1.93 ROM ?

TIA

Hi guys!

I have exactly the same problem with an Offical ROM upgrade!
would be great if someone could help us out, as its a pain in the backside not knowing how long your battery will last for!!

Got the same prob but wit added pain onto it

I too got the same above mentioned problem but added pain is that when my battery is over completely then it wont boot my phone on recharging and jus keep the phone on restart again and again.
Then i have to remove my battery off the phone and charge it on some external charger then only my phone can boot up.
Any suggestion for it.
Tx in advance
