I have been researching around on old and official threads of CM7, but still couldn't solve my problem. I really hope the forum moderators do not scold me opening a new thread asking for help on development section.

My device: Defy+ MB526
ROM: CM7.2.0-RC0-Defy-KANG (built 2 Jan 2012)
Kernel: 2.6.32.9

Everything works perfectly, and way much better and smoother than the stock GB rom.

Problem: Charging stops at 80%. I have been searching around for a workaround or patch, but nothing found so far.

Please help....

Yes, this is last thing what I want to fix. Battery calibration, wiping battery stats, replacing battd from latest builds, nothing fix this.
If my defy eat about 1% after 2-3hours, it will be great to have 100% of battery.

I've the same problem on my Defy+ with WajkUIU rom.
It stoped around 82%, and I've tried to wipe batt stats in recovery, but it didn't help.
I thought that I've solved it when I did factory/data wipe becouse it gone straigt to 100% with 4196mV, but after I've recharged my phone next day it stoped at 87%.
I'll now try to do the factory/data wipe again at 87% and do the battery calibration right after.

this is the 'hard' calibration: let you battery drain fully, till it switches off. let it remain switched off, plug in your wall charger, and let it charge till it sais 100% (phone is still switched off). pull your battery (leave the charger plugged in), wait till it displays a question mark, put your battery back in, and let it charge to 100% again, thats it.

1) No I didn't, from what I read it is not recommended to use it as primary OS, it's still very experimental and camera is not working

2) Is it just about the percentage, or does it charge over 4100mV as well? Because if, as I think, it's just about showing 100%, but not really charging the bigger Defy+ battery, I'll just stick the way it is now, it's not healthy for the battery to leave it to fully die anyway

I would just like to clear a misunderstanding I've been seeing in more than just one thread.

The full charge of a Defy+ battery is around 4310 mV.

It is not around 4150 mV. My CM7.2 Nightly replaced with the latest battd from stock build charges perfectly till 100%. But its voltage level is 4160 mV, which is NOT 100%.

Please monitor the voltages for the correct reading, not just the percentages.

okay, my maximum is 4176mV and 84%. nothing more.
battery monitor widget see battery capacity 1650mAh, which is plus minus correct :)

edit: cm72-111213.. (with changed camera.apk, overlay.omap3.so from [] AL [] and battd from cm72-111223

Same problem when using different miui roms meant for the mb525 and not the defy+. It's really annoying because these roms are awesome, but the battery is crap. Please help us someone!

I've tried everything but I only got 100% after factory reset and it was on 4190mV. After calibration, on next recharge it only charged up to 81% 4156mV. I'm done with this rom and I'm now back to stock 2.3.6 rom.

For me, although with this battery bug, this ROM is way much better and smoother than the stock. I have been using CM rom back from the old days (on different brand of handphones), and hardly can replace it. With so many power sources around, I can live with this 80% bug.

Maybe this is a bless in disguise? Read here for battery care tips:
