85% battery thank's a lot

Thank's Bazoocaze

now i have 85% battery ,how i can up charge to 100%

thank's a lot man
[Xperia Arc General] nayanasri:
Did you installed "FuelGaugeFixV154.apk" yet ?

If not download and install it from the first post attachments.

Then load that app > press menu > press "start full charge"

(You may need to "start monitor" before that) Also tick the "start on boot".

Then plug-in the charger. Phone will start to charging from 2%.

On my arc, I also needed to install "APK fix FiDra version 1.1" (Check http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18918446&postcount=195) to achieve 100% charge. Otherwise charging process stopped prematurely.
[Xperia Arc General] DooMLoRD:
after discussing it with Bazoocaze i will be adding this to my kernel as it shouldnt affect users who are NOT facing the 0% battery drain issue...

i need a few testers to help try out a test kernel...

contact me via p.m.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Hi, fellow

1 and 2 are OK.

On step 3, I think you must use fastboot to flash the .img contained on the .7z archive. Watch out for the correct key press during power on for flashtool and fastboot mode - they are not the same (I can't remember the keys, because I don't use that very often).

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Anyway, the .62arc version is a new not yet tested version. Please also try with the .58 version from this thread, that is an allready tested and know good version.

Please, test with fastboot, and report here your results.

I'm sorry you can't use your phone for too long time. This time we will success.

Good luck

@all

If anyone can confirm the .62 arc patched version is working, it will be great. Thank you.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
:) It's a great news. If anyone with 0% issue can help test the version, it will be great - people, move!
[Xperia Arc General] peacekeeper38:
How can i help to test it? i wanto to do it
[Xperia Arc General] Ghost_kh_07:
Bazoocare you can make new version of fuel fix. Ver 1.5.4 is very good but when i chager from 2% to 5% and unchager capacity auto set to 100% and after can not chager until reset to 2%. You can make monitor if cap >=98% then set to 100%.

Can you share with me source code i will continues dev.

Sory my english very bad
[Xperia Arc General] darkslayer100:
haha..sory i write a wrong step. I flash it with fasboot absolutly, hehe forgive me for this.

Ok, i will do what do you want. And i will do this with video recording, so everyone here can know what i did.

Thanx for your care/attention, its very helpfull for me :)

[Xperia Arc General] itachi naruto:

[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
You did the correct steps. Please, try to flash the latest version of the patch on this thread. If your phone isnt charging, try with differents chargers or on the USB on PC. I have a friend with an X10 that doesnt charge anymore on official charger, only on the PC and "second-hand" standalone chargers.

Good luck.

Will do. I hope we can get this fix for a locked bootloader as I know how frustrating it must be.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

This is the conversation I had with the Sony Ericsson Chat Service about the problem.

You have now been connected to an agent.

Mark: Hi Jake, thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson UK Chat Support. My name is Mark, how can I help you today?

Jake: Regarding the 0% problem that occurs in the Xperia Arc and Neo, that you are undoubtably aware of. have An unofficial patch was released recently for this particular problem at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312398. I was wondering if you would be able to sign the kernel and send it back to me, it will save you money as you wouldn't have to be repairing the phones with the 0% battery problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Mark: No, we cant do that

Jake: Why?

Mark: Its not SE software.

Jake: It will save you a lot of money from warranty claims.

Mark: We wont be authorising the use of this patch

Mark: I presume you have used the bootloader on the phone?

Jake: No, I personally don't have this problem

Jake: Is there any other way to flash this kernel on a phone without unlocking the bootlaode

Jake: Sorry, bootloader

Mark: No, you would need too unlock the bootloader

Jake: OK can you please just run this by someone with a higher authority to see what they think, I mean you could release it saying you wouldn't be responsible for any problems that occur whilst using the patch.

Mark: We wouldn't authorise the use of this patch.

Jake: OK thanks

Mark: It does state this once the bootloader is unlocked

Mark: Sony Ericsson can then no longer guarantee the full functionality of your phone, and will not be responsible for any unsigned custom software being flashed to the phone after the boot loader is unlocked

Mark: Is there anything else I can help you with?

Jake: No thanks bye

I've also emailed them but I expect the same response.

Anyone have any suggestions on what else I could say to them to persuade them?
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Unfortunately, this seems to be a dead end to Xperia owners with this issue: the only solution is to look for warranty, or then unlock bootloader and apply patch.
[Xperia Arc General] steryman:
Will Ice Cream Sandwich fix this? And... how can I patch the issue if I install CM7? Because I really want CM7 with a temporary patch...
[Xperia Arc General] slowadi:
How to fastboot. I'm a beginner and I have no idea ...

gives me this: Error: Can not load 'boot.img'

please help me :(
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Don't count on Ice Cream S. fixing this, because all indicates that this is an unrecoverable hardware failure of the fuel gauge controller.

Consider this patch as a stock Kernel, therefore if CM7 uses a stock Kernel, then it will function with this patch.
[Xperia Arc General] fcb13:
Since we all have the 0% issue, we cannot flash other custom roms? Only 2.3.4 correct?
[Xperia Arc General] SoraHaru:
Me too -*- my Arc is Dead again.Please let me know how to use ADB shell:( Thanks in advance!!
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Hi. Dont use this, its only purpose is to alter the battery %.

Try to charge with different chargers, and via USB on PC too. If this dont works for you, them you will be no luck :( .
[Xperia Arc General] SoraHaru:
So, if i try to change to a new fresh battery and flash it.After that I replace it to an Old one.Will it work? *sorry for my bad English*
[Xperia Arc General] peacekeeper38:
So what to do in that case Bazoocase? i mean mine arc doesn't charge anymore and if i want to turn it on there is a blinking red light, if i connect it to the official charger or to the computer it charge for some 3 minutes and then it turn on from nothing stay on for 3 minutes or 2 on, and then shut down again and keep doing the same, on and off, no fastboot possible or flashtool niether, i have tried with other chargers and always the same i know this not the thread for this kind of issues but i don't know what to do, maybe you can enlight me what to do. thakns in advanced.:(
[Xperia Arc General] fcb13:
Should i get a new phone? Or is there a possibility that this 0% can be fixed
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
:rolleyes: Other guy had the same issue as you, and to solve it he leave the phone off charging for 1 hour on PC USB:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18815228&postcount=64

If this cannot help you, I cant help you too :( .
[Xperia Arc General] srebar:
hi guys, I also have the 0% battery problem and I used the 100% patch, but stumbled onto SoraHaru's problem and my ARC wouldn't turn on. Powered up for about 1 min and the shuts down, no way to toolflash it, nothing. My problem was that i used the .238 build with the patch, not the .283 (missred), and after the battery was obviously drained it wouldn't charge, even on charger or USB/PC. So what i did to flash my ARC was to charge it for about 30 mins to 1 hour. after that removed the batter and did the procedure for flashing through flashtool as quick as possible before the phone turned on automaticly. the phone flashed as usual, patched it with the 100% patch and for about 3hrs now it's working properly.

and in conclusion I like to thank Bazoocaze for the great work, thank you for everything and keep up the good work. : )
[Xperia Arc General] fcb13:
So you fixed the 0% battery on your phone? If so, could you explain without that big paragraph on how lol
[Xperia Arc General] lenathou972:
Do You think that with the usb charger, the fone charged at the same speed (like the normal charger)?
[Xperia Arc General] DooMLoRD:
so is that test kernel booting & working correctly for users with damaged battery fuel gauge?
[Xperia Arc General] Ninoh-FOX:
Yes
[Xperia Arc General] Goldshot:
I have a problem in the phone and he goes out alone, I do not know what the problem i update this video on Youtube for u http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCc-lu7cyFY

Sorry for my bad english when i speak

i use this forum ▼▼

1. Read the full post, especially the FAQ. In case of doubt, you can use this guide to know how to do things:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1133650

2. Unlock booloader

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1034087

3. Grab the most recent kernel patch from this thread. The file is boot.img.xxx.7z for your phone (ARC / NEO). We call this the kernel patch, or only the patch.

4. You must be same firmware and patch version, so if you aren't firmware xxx, use flashtools to flash the correct firmware. and wipe the data if downgrading firmware version. You can find some recent stock firmwares in the [Firmwares (.FTF)] section.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1304634

5. Use fastboot to flash boot.img contained in file boot.img.xxx.arc.7z (or boot.img.xxx.neo.7z for NEO users). Flash the .img file, not the .7z file .

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1116970

6. Now you have a phone showing allways 85% battery capacity

7. Install most recent FuelGaugeFixV??.apk from this thread (Bazoocaze version).

8. For the first time, make sure the charger is plugged, and select "Start full charge" from the apk fix menu (use the menu button to show options). A full charge takes 3h00 ~ 3h40.

9. Now you have a fully charged phone, and apk fix updates battery % acordingly to phone usage.

10. See "Kernel issues" and "APK issues".

11. Press the tanks button on this thread, and optionally feel free to buy me some gift/beer/pizza/coffe.

12. Finish

i use also this firmware :

[Xperia Arc General] billy88:
Do I need to unlocked my bootloader so i can install this kernel??
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Nice to hear this :-).

And yes, you can share the thread with your arc forum.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Hi,

The best combination of firmware + kernel is to match the firmware and kernel version, so I recommend you use .62 firmware and .62 kernel patch.

Allways try to use the latest version of flashtools, and remember that you must use fastboot to flash the boot.img file.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
The FuelGaugeApp monitor the time of phone connected on the charger, and set the calculated % to 100% if you disconnect the phone after a minimum pre-config time (1 hour, I think - dont remember exactly). Actually, Arc needs a minimum of 2h~3h charge to get full charge, so you must leave the Arc connected enough time until you get 100% or the percentage stops changing.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Yes, you must be unlocked bootloader to use the fuel gauge fix workaround.
[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
Do you need to quote the whole OP?

Yes, any custom kernel requires unlocked bootloader.

[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
:( Spamming my PM box, sending me direct e-mails, or contacting me via gtalk doesn't help you get your answer more quickly. I'm not your private worker, nor I will get paid to do this all. If you want some customization, please take my fuel gauge driver source code and compile your own version. If you don't like the FuelGaugeApp, then write your own version (I will not share my source code, please dont keep asking) - use the set_capacity sysfs entry that is available through the modified driver to set the battery %. If you are pissed that your fuel gauge is dead, then blame on the sticky threads that still guide the users to downgrade the firmware, and blame on Sony for this downgrade failure.

:) Please be nice and kindly ask or report your issues on this thread, that me or someone experienced with will help you get your phone working.

hi guys.how do you find the accuracy of the fuel gauge fix?coz my arc turned of at 40%.but im sure that I full charge the battery coz i started at 2%.

and what can i do to help for the improvement of this workaround?
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
FAILED (remote: Phone is already unlocked!)

"Phone is already unlocked!" :)

Look in the forum for the .62 firmware (ftf file). If you dont have the latest firmware, try with the firmware you have - LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.

For the patch, use the patched kernel on this thread:

boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.62.arc.7z

or

boot.img.4.0.2.A.0.42.arc.7z

Please use the boot.img file inside the 7z archive, not the 7z archive. Use fastboot to flash the kernel:

fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

After flashing the patched kernel, you must have the FuelGaugeFix app installed and running for the fuel gauge to became updated by the fuel gauge monitor.
[Xperia Arc General] Bazoocaze:
Fuel gauge fix is missing cpu clock detection and miliamper consumption calculation. If you don't use cpu intensive/time intensive tasks like gaming or music, them the fuel gauge accuracy will raise.

I'm doing some research of reliable ways to monitor the cpu clock on android, to code and integrate them on the Fuel Gauge Fix. Until there, cpu intensive tasks will mess a lot the % accuracy.

Hi,

I'm getting this thread as i too have the 0% battery problem.

I tried many roms, with different versions tried many things, but so far this "Fuel gauge fix" is what seems to be the best solution so far...

I have exactly this ROM : "LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.ftf" and i rooted it with flashboot, and tried Root Unroot Sony 1.5 too.

It seems that i have successfully rooted the phone (i get the "GG message" and all), however when i run Root Check it seems that the phone is not rooted.

So the Fuel gauge fix doesn't work for me, as the phone has to be rooted. I get this message at the bottom of Fuel Gauge fix 1.2 :

Patched status = Failed/[(get_capacity) file not found: /sys/class/power_supply/bq27520/capacity]

Sorry if i missed some discussions, i went to page 20-23 then skipped directly to the last pages.

any help ? any idea on how to get this solution working ?

Thanks a lot for the work

I see you updated your original post.
