Second day with the battery. I ran it down today to the point where it shut off and wouldn't turn on. I charged it with the phone off for about 30 minutes and turned it back on. The charge was 54%. Did it really charge that fast?

I just checked mine and it shows that over the last 20 minutes mine has gone from 1-99% & that's just ridiculous.

Also it seems that even after 2.5 hours of charging with the phone off (first two times with the anker) it still doesn't turn the led to green

Same issue..

I have the same issue...ran Anker battery down and recharged for 5 minutes, battery widget showed 54% charge, the System Returned charge was like 5% so there is an obvious disconnect there. I get a green light if I charge for 3+ hours, just left it charging at work. Until we get the Sensation rooted and can reset the battery stats, this probably will remain an issue.

I guess you can temp root it and reset the battery stats but I'll wait for perm root.

My Anker should be here in a few days. As you suggested, you guys just might need to reset the battery stats. So you'll know, I used a battery calibration tool and it worked great under temp root. With stock battery, my % would spike pretty quick one way or another....it did help give me more steady readings. No worries there....

Just charged up my new anker yesterday for about 9 hours. Popped it in this morning. I will do three full overnight charges and full dicharges and report back. My chichitec got the same conditioning and its lasting about 25 hours for me. We will see. Got this thing for 9.50 so it won't be the end of the world. Seems good so far. At 99% and had it off the charger for three hours. Phone call and some email and xda.

Once we get root ill be wiping the battery stats for sure though.

Use battery calibration app it wipes stats.

care to walk me through how to do this (not the temp root) so I can reset my battery stats?
