Wow, interesting answer!!! Is that true guys?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Use Autorun to block all those pesky CPU cycle-munching rogue apps from ever starting!

Have to have root unfortunately, as only by blocking the listeners (or even freezing useless apps) can you stop them. Technoholik is correct, using a task killer will waste far more battery than it saves as these apps will pop up again minutes, or even seconds, later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musheercmr:
So, if i removed some apps (like Google Map, Google Voice...etc) from start-up, once i open those application after sometime it will be again in process and will drink battery, till the next re-start? advise please...

Sorry for my stupid question.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gitdroid:
What you should worry is cpu cycle, not memory used by the apps. Some process maybe look like use some memory in background eventhough you're not use that process, but that's ok if that process not use much cpu cycle.

Please read the link i just posted before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Not a stupid question, and the answer is "Yes". Many of these apps keep responding to 'listeners' (events in the system) and do things that we have not asked them to do when they receive this trigger. Many of them send & receive data. You cannot stop them apart from disabling the listeners of freezing ()or uninstalling) them. You need to be careful because some system apps are required. I try one at a time and if nothing else fails, leave it disabled.

Do do any of this, you require root access.

Look at Badass Battery Monitor and use the appsucker tool to see what is doing what. It shows the % CPU, CPU time, wake events and wakelocks. All of these are things that drain the battery.

I am currently on 2.3.3 Rooted.

I cannot perform an OTA update. I go through the process then when the phone restarts it says 'update not applied'.

If I update via my PC with PC Companion to 2.3.4...am I likely to suffer any ill effects?

I'm assuming this will remove root. So was planning on using SuperOneClick when I've updated to 2.3.4 via my PC (if it allows me too).

[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
Note: I searched the forum and saw nothing like my issue, if there is then I missed it and I apologize.

So here is the issue. When charging it gets to between 85-90% then immediately jumps to 100%. Have tried clearing the stats, draining, then full charge. Any suggestions on this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
How old is the battery are you charging USB or AC?

Most likely its a old battery
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
very odd, I've actually experienced the inverse. Charge would hold at like 20% and then jump to 10% in a second. Are you noticing in use there is a jump back down i.e. when you unplug, does it jump from 100% straight to 90% or does this just happen when charging. If it just happens with charging, I'd say run current widget and see how much mA is left when it makes the jump to 100% and see if the battery is actually charging correctly. In other words, if you're charging and the battery jumps from 90 to 100 and you still have like 200 mA left, something is goofy with your battery and I'd recommend a new battery or at the very least full wiping and reflashing your ROM.

If it jumps and the remaining mA is like 30 or something low, then the actual battery seems to be fine and I'd recommend a full wipe and reflash the rom you're using. In all honestly, it's probably the battery and may just be worth getting a new one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
Im not attacking you im just trying to clarify. Are you saying it jumps to 100%, meaning you see it say 100% or are you referring to the led going green at about 90%?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
I'm not convinced it is a battery issue... I've only very recently rooted my phone (have had it for 11 months) and haven't had the charge indicator jump past the last 10% like it did just today.

Looking at the last 26hours of history (ICS 3.0.0 install), the initial battery discharge showed normal taper from 100-85%, however on charge it jumped from somewhere just below 90% to 100% instantaneously.

I should have taken a screenshot, but instead I wiped the battery stats and am in the initial discharge cycle still. I've had the phone 11 months and have never cleared the battery stats before.
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
Maybe 8 months old.

When it hits 85-90% the led turns green then it shows 100% right after that.

Sent from the internets
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
the led is supposed to go green at 90% to indicate trickle charge mode. but ya that should not be triggering the 100%. are you using a battery mod that isnt included with the rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Run the battery down until the phone dies. I have had this happen to me before. When I got down to 1%, it took a really long time for the phone to die. Recharging and doing a couple of long cycles of letting the battery go down to a really low level before charging fixed it. Do not delete battery stats as it does no good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
Did that already, stated that in OP

Well if calibration processes fail to correct it, then I would suspect a bad battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jp2132:
You might try an app called Battery Calibration. Found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1024867

I don't necessarily use it to calibrate but to monitor the mV. It might help in seeing if it is in fact a bad battery or if your battery indicator is showing a false reading.
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
Yea I tried that after the normal calibration. Another weird thing is my phone has been sitting at 1% for like an hour.

[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Go back and read my first post. I told you this would happen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] virusmonk3y:
The sitting at 1% was happening before. Just never really payed attention to it. Have tried the normal calibration twice now and the method you mentioned as well. Going to ATT tomorrow and see about exchanging the battery. Will post results.

Edit: Want to add a thanks for all the suggestions from everyone.

Sent from the internets
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
Then it may be that time. I got my battery to hold out a little longer, but soon after, I started getting bad drain. I recently replaced my battery and haven't had issues since.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
Sounds more like a battery calibration issue than a battery issue.

Give it a bit of thought... from 90% it skips to 100% when charging. However at 1% it camps out for an hour or more before shutting off. This indicates an issue with how the charge of the battery is being measured/expressed...

Now let's think about what is happening behind the scenes. This measure of charge is "defined as the available capacity expressed as a percentage of some reference, sometimes its rated capacity but more likely its current (i.e. at the latest charge-discharge cycle) capacity but this ambiguity can lead to confusion and errors. It is not usually an absolute measure in Coulombs, kWh or Ah of the energy left in the battery which would be less confusing. "

Essentially, the way the phone is measuring the battery isn't working correctly. However, is the duration of the battery life what you would expect given your use of it?

If YES, then it's a measuring issue.
[Motorola Atrix 2] kc92iyngr:
Is it possible to mod Home screen like touhwiz and toggle shortcuts in notification bat other than go launcher?
[Motorola Atrix 2] cainn24:
For now, the closest you can probably get is TW Launcher (available from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061883) and one of the apps available from the market that adds toggles to the notification pulldown (search: "notification toggle").

EDIT: Actually, you'll need to use one of the older versions of TW Launcher that has been tweaked for our QHD screens. You can find them here: http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/motorola-atrix-themes/3242-touchwiz-4-5-launcher-touch-sii.html
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
I have used that tw launcher on my infuse and it was unstable for me. I don't know how it acts on the A2 but on the infuse it constantly rebooted my phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cainn24:
I used it on my old Optimus 2x with both the stock ROM and CM7 and apart from an occasional FC while tweaking the settings, I found it to be very reliable.

I guess mileage varies depending on your hardware.

Personally, I think Motorola's launcher is one of the best one's I've ever come across, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all (including some rather obscure ones), so I'm sticking with it for now.

Edit: Stuff like that happens when there has been too many contact imports so the storage gets filled. You can manually clear contacts storage completely by going to settings-manage apps, select contacts storage and clear. Once done, import contacts you backed up or from sim card, google, fb and sync.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahmonkeys:
This is just an idea... You could get a simple version of all your apps and themes on a ROM. Make an Nandroid backup of it.

[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Did your friend happen to pull his battery anytime before all this started?

Recovery doesn't just "disappear" - he must have done something prior to that...

Anyway, the first thing is to rule out (or in) a fried eMMC

So do this:

Set up adb/fastboot and connect your phone (link in my sig)

Then connect your device to the PC, enter recovery, open cmd (command prompt) on the PC and type:

adb shell

dmesg | grep mmc0

any ideas?
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Well, since you can get to fastboot, try this anyway.

Also, see if flashing recovery again gets you up and running.

Boot into fastboot on the phone, and using the cmd terminal, push a new recovery to the phone. I'm attaching 4EXT recovery. Just download it, extract recovery.img from the zip file, put it into your adb/fastboot folder and issue the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then try to boot into recovery and tell me what you see...

[HTC Desire S] NeTvAmPiRe70:
...no luck:( hangs on "writing recovery".
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Okay, i'm attaching 4EXT recovery in PG88IMG.zip format. Just place this on your sd card root, and boot into bootloader... it will try to flash this recovery on its own the moment it detects it. Let's see what happens...

this is not the same thing but with a different recovery?

however,I'll give it a try.
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
I don't know what was there in that file... so i sent you mine.

But if fastboot wasn't working, the possibility of an eMMC brick is looming larger...

Just try the commands i asked you to type in my first post... I mean boot into bootloader, then see if these commands cough up a report... if it doesn't work, boot into fastboot and try again. You must have some kind of recovery man...:confused:

Also, you didn't say what happens when you select Recovery option from the bootloader... what happens?
[HTC Desire S] NeTvAmPiRe70:
...same as before,when starts to flash the recovery,the vertical progress bar stops and the phone hangs on "do not power off the device".

tried the dmesg | grep mmc0 both from bootloader and from fastboot but the phone,does not appear to be recognized by adb.

when he select recovery from the bootloader,appears the white screen with the htc logo,then the phone turns off itself vibrating.
