Ever unplug your HTC Droid Incredible in the morning only to find it down to 85% in a matter of minutes without even doing anything? I know I have, and it is VERY frustrating. Now I'm not a crazy battery watcher, but when it drops down that fast there has got to be something wrong. Some of the guys over at XDA have came up with a couple solutions, one you have to be rooted to use, and the other doesn't require anything special.
Method #1 (ROOT ONLY)
- Charge your phone fully (don't just go by the orange light turning green check your battery under settings>about phone>>battery)
- Reboot in Recovery and get adb shell running
- Once you have adb shell (#) running type in the following commands:
mount -a
rm /data/system/batterystats.bin
- Reboot the phone immediately after running the commands
- When your phone reboots disconnect your cable and DO NOT CHARGE until the battery dies (the phone will shut off)
- When the battery dies out charge the phone like you normally would.
*We are not held responsible for any bricking or damage to your phone*
Method #2 (STOCK or ROOT)
- Charge your battery like normal
- When you see the green light unplug the phone and power it down
- Plug it back up (you should see the orange light again for a while)
- When the light turns green again, then you are fully charged.
These are just a couple methods to help some people out. I have had my phone unplugged for 45 min now and still showing 100% (it would usually be down to 89% at this point)
If this has helped you out the please donate
