I was actually more trying to point out that the solution is temporary, and that a link to this post wasn't needed in CM9, Recovery, and Stock ROM threads - Not that this band-aid has been already posted.

On topic -

This does work, until you run your battery very low / dead, then the "fix" needs to be applied again.

Example -

For me, my battery will show that it is charged to 100% until I have a day where it drops to 30-35%. What happens there is that the battery will suddenly "lose" 2-10% charge instantly. Obviously the battery isn't actually draining by that much, its just how the software sees it. Anyway, at the next charge the phone will only go to whatever 100 minus how far the battery instantly drained. So if I was at 33% and it dropped to 26%, on the next charge it won't go past 93%. At that point I need to re-apply this band-aid.

There was a script floating around here somewhere, I believe it was in the neutrino thread a few months ago, but I can no longer find it. You could just run the script and it would remove the files listed in the OP, then you could reboot the phone and it would be okay. I'll search for that script later - its time for me to go kayaking.

Its just deleting battery percentages to help with calibrations. This method he recomends and wiping battle stats is the same thing. I don't know why it worked for you when wiping battle stats didn't. Just like how I recommended discharging fully to recalibrate the battery percentage. But the OP of this thread said not to tell people to do that because it doesn't work. I must have been lying when I said it worked for me many many times.

His method isn't a permanent fix either because you have to reflash everytine you flash a new rom, just like wiping bat stats.

And I don't trust trolls who spam other threads for traffic in his.

Thing is he did the same exact thing last month when he posted a "proven" method that turned out to be not so proven. Then he did it again claiming it was the radio. And now this is by my count his third claim to have fixed the problem. I'm trying it out so we'll see but I'm not holding my breath.

I can't find the thread again but the only guy who claims to have fixed the problem permanently except Soldier-2Point0 is someone who says he bought a new battery.
[Atrix 4G General] bimasakti85:
Who?

Btw, already tried this twice, and it will always show 100% after previously stuck at 96%. It is true that this not a permanent solution. The phone will stuck again if we use the phone untill low. But at least, I dont have to pull the battery anymore or flash new rom to solve this.

[Atrix 4G General] markh7999:
I found the best way to fix the battery issue. You have to put your phone inside a Glad zip lock baggie while charging. After the phone is in the bag and hooked to the charging cable try and squeeze as much air out as possible and zip the bag up. Make sure to close the zip as close to the charging cable running out as possible to keep any air out. Then once this is done plug the charge cable into the wall or usb and let it charge. This will fix the issue. Please post your experience with this.

Ps. This will probably work with a generic or another brand zip bag even know I used a Glad...

Good luck!

Okay, tried it. On second charge it's down to 99% and I suspect it'll go down further on subsequent charges so this is yet another temporary solution like all the others that came before it.

I know i was wrong. That's the reason why I changed the title to "please delete". I noticed that you were able to find all my previous posts without visiting my profile. You stalk people on Facebook too?
[Atrix 4G General] :
I removed the battery pull method because I believe you might overcharge your battery beyond it's capacity. On your second charge, your percentage will not reach 100% because the phone "remembers" a higher charge capacity.
[Atrix 4G General] surrealjam:
I can confirm this is sadly only a temporary fix.

My last charge finished at 4196mV reading 86%!

Considering how sophisticated these phones are, why can they not just remember what voltage = full?? Frustrating.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Trust me, i know it is very frustrating. The reason I have been looking for a permanent fix to this.

Are you constantly checking voltage? Or do you let it charge until it displays 100?

I can leave it in all night when it gets to this stage and it will not charge any further. Sometimes, just letting it get to 0% and giving a full charge gets it to say 95% - but again, the next partial charge normally drops to about 88%...

What is the maximum mV value?

Before applying this "fix" my battery was stuck at 99% by a mV value of 4205.

Now it has a maximum of 4203 but it shows 100% as it should.

And is there hope for a permanent fix?

Btw: after unplugging the mV drops to something about 4185 mV. Is that correct?
[Atrix 4G General] Moonshield:
Hey man,

It seems to work on my Atrix 4G...

Will have to see if it sticks after several charging cycles, will update once I have the info.

Anyhow, thanx for sharing this information :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] Cusa:
The maximum mV value should be 4205 but sometimes it gets stuck at around 4203 so there's nothing to worry about. Also, when your phone is fully charged at 100% and as soon as you unplug it, the phone should immediately drop to 99% which should be around 4185 mV like you said.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
It is entirely possible for your phone to remain on 100% battery reading for a while after unplugging from the charging source. The battery charge is a repeating cycle, and does not constantly charge once it reaches full charge. Charging stops until the battery drops past a certain threshold, after which charging begins again. If you happen to unplug at the right time, your battery will remain at 100%.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I doubt there will ever be a fix. This is a well known issue and none of these developers have figured out a permanent fix.

The files that require deletion reside in /data partition which is user data. I don't think just flashing a new ROM fixes the files in this location. If you open a nightly zip file, you won't see a /data folder thus any errors/corrupted files will be carried over no matter what.

Now, some people had said that wiping battery statistics the same as performing the steps at the beginning of the OP. It is not the same! Wiping battery stats only resets your BATTERYSTATS.BIN which is the colorful graph that we are all obsessed with.

BTW, are you the guy that posted the boot animation files a while back? If it is you, I wanted to thank you.

My battery was charging to 100% no issues until I flashed the 0420 nightly on battery power. The next charge did not get me to 100%. I continue to suspect that any power spent outside of the OS, CWM for example, will not be calculated into the BATTERYSTATS.BIN and will mess up calibration. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I successfully calibrated my battery again by performing the steps in the OP.

I for one have only ever had battery problems once since this phone was released, and I am still on my original phone and battery. I flash new ROM's, kernels, etc., and nandroid backup/restore all the time without any issues. The one time I did have problems was after flashing multiple ROM's back to back, and the fix for me was to wipe stats in CWM, then charge and calibrate with Battery Calibration again.

Damn.. it's the most annoying issue I ever had.

Is it a common Atrix bug, or CM7 related? Can't remember that I had it with Stock ROM...

In your post quoted above you asked for anyone to confirm or deny something. I posted a response which effectively denies what you said, as I haven't had any problems. Your response to my response is typical of you as has been noted by several other forum members previously. Anytime anyone posts something which is not in agreement with what you believe, you react in this same way. I didn't say that wiping battery stats fixed "your" problem. I stated that it fixed this problem for me the one time I encountered it. I also said that through all my flashing I have not had this issue occur but that one time. I was being, for lack of better words, very polite in response to your request for confirmation or denial.

Now, if what you believe is true about battery usage stats not being recorded while in CWM, there would appear to be something seriously wrong with your theory, (actually I would call it what you did, a suspicion because you once again have no data to back up your opinion), since I can spend a significant amount of time in CWM, reboot after flashing, backing up, etc., and see an appropriate drop in my remaining battery power/percentage. If usage in CWM were not being recorded/factored, there would be a normal "reboot" usage of power showing after being in CWM which would be consistently the same within a reasonable range.

Learn to take the critcism of your thoughts, (that would be what you call negative comments), especially since you are so prone to plastering unsubstantiated "proven methods" all over the forums, many of which other people have already posted months before you ever appeared here. Everyone does not have to agree with you, and it's your "negativity" towards many people in multiple threads who have not agreed with you that has resulted in continued criticism.

[Atrix 4G General] Formhault:
I just tried this (guide at the first page)... After a full discharge, when charging it back up, again, it is showing "Charged" on the lockscreen, even though the status bar battery indicator shows 94%. I did it two times during 5 days - same result (or, I should say lack of).

Regarding the recovery charging (I briefly saw read someone saying something related to that here) - it appears that the ATRIX does not charge when in recovery (RomRacer's CWM and TWRP). There's a recovery that DOES allow charge : 4EXT RECOVERY (only for several HTC devices, though).
[Atrix 4G General] :
Thanks for reporting your results. If I continue to receive negative feedback, I will close this thread and give up on trying to fix this problem. I have spent too much time searching for a permanent solution.

I believe the file /system, /bin, BATTD might be the root of the problem. If I deleted this file it does not regenerate after boot and battery status becomes "unknown".

Can anyone extract and post this file from a ROM that reports in 10% increments? I would like to experiment a little more before giving up on this.

"battery level jumping" and "battery level not reaching 100%" problems

Do you know about the

this

thread?

I think there are two different kinds of problems (at least with stock ROM 2.3.4)

1) the problem of the "battery level jumping" (after a reboot) that was

solved

by jug6ernaut in the post linked above (at least for me).

This problem refers to having the battery level, say at 73%, rebooting and finding that after rebooting you battery level has jumped to... say, 89%... :confused:

What is the right level? the one before rebooting or the one after that? ​

2) the problem of the "battery level not reaching 100%" after a full recharge (the one addressed in this thread)

If it can help, this is my experience:

I had the problem 1) ("battery level jumping").

I fixed it taking advantage of jug6ernaut's post. Anyway I chose not to follow his automated script procedure, but just applied the fix in a manual way.

It consisted of just replacing the default android 2.3.4 files:

System\lib\libbattd.so

System\bin\battd

with the ones included in CMW_Jug6_FIXv2.zip (in the System subdir of the zip archive). AFAIK the new files are taken from a previous Motorola/Android version (2.2.3) and they are not affected by this specific "battery level jumping" bug.

After that the "battery level jumping" was solved, but I had the problem 2) ("battery level not reaching 100% after a full recharge").

I applied your recipe and after a full discharge/recharge the problem was apparently fixed(*).

Presently I've just completed a single battery cycle since then, so I can't tell if the fix will last or not.

(*) The only little thing is that, after a full recharge with the phone off and then turning on with the wall charger plugged in, it shows a good 100% (as hopefully expected). But as soon as I remove the wall charger it drops to 99%. Anyhow I think that can be normal or acceptable.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Thanks for your detailed response. I wish I could elaborate more at this time, but I have to go to work.

Edit: I will experiment replacing some files in the /system folder with files from ROMS that did not have this "not displaying 100" issue.

BTW, the link you provided is an old issue and I believe that the fix has been implemented on the latest CM7 releases.

The reason I included the deletion of usage stats is to start your usage history fresh. They get filed there every day.

[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I had the percentage issue today again myself...........battery stuck showing 95% at full charge, (i.e. 4200mV). Solution was boot to recovery, wipe battery stats, boot to OS, start Battery Calibration app from market, put phone on charge via USB 3.0 on my laptop. For 2 hours I have been showing full charge, i.e. 4200mV but my battery is now showing 97% and has gone up to that from 95% since I started to charge it. (In fact as I typed this it has gone to 98%). Might take a while, but it will get back up to 100%.

Now, before you shoot me down again for basically disagreeing with your solution, take a look at how long it has taken my percentage to rise. The problem may be with the circuitry in the batteries themselves rather than anything with the OS. These batteries have what is basically a mini computer in them to manage charging. Maybe the problem lies therein.

Hey bro, I am not trying to be your enemy or anything like that. You keep saying wiping battery stats from cwm works for you, but it has not worked for me. I can perform my method one time, and it'll stick for a while. I do not know exactly how long because every time a new nightly gets released, I have to redo from scratch.

I know you are a very knowledgeable member of these forums, but sometimes you approach me like I don't know what the * I'm talking about. Trust me, i do not want more enemies than what I already have. I am a Us Soldier. :D

Maybe your right. Maybe all the people having this issue might need to buy a new battery. I myself am trying to solve this by manipulating existing files in the OS.

Questions for you:

Do you know what the calibration app does when you tap calibrate?

Does your battery show 4200mV on the dot when fully charged? Mine usually shows 4205mV or 4207mV.

What change do you notice when you wipe battery stats from cwm?

If you have not personally tried my solution, I recommend you do a nandroid backup, then try my method. If it does not work for you, reflash your nandroid backup and continue using your solution. Did that sound offensive? :D

My battery shows 4194mV fully charged. It always has since new. I consider this close enough to 4200mV to be normal variation in performance from manufacturing, materials, etc. (No device ever being exactly the same).

What change do I notice? The battery will show a higher percentage at full charge past whatever number it was stuck at (i.e. 95% in this case).
