How do you guys calibrate the battery? When I installed CM7, I ran my battery down to 0 and then charged it up to 100 but thats all I did

The simplest way is to get the Battery Callibration app from the Market and follow the in-app instructions.

 

[phoenixus]

Is it possible to damage your battery at all doing that?

 

[mingaldrichgan]

All the app does is delete the battery stats file, so no.

Running the battery down to zero, on the other hand, I've heard is bad for the battery.

 

[phoenixus]

So I just used the app and it removed the file. Do I need to reboot or anything afterwards or is it done now?

Glad you joined the community ... umm hard question as when CM becomes official/stable release status is Cyanogen's call ...

Release candidates and stable releases are by name required to have 100% working hardware and sadly we are not quite there yet, close but not close enough ie. we are still agressivly bug hunting

I want to point out now that I have the extended battery. It's just that I'm getting the best battery life from this rom that I have ever gotten with any rom on this phone!

I have the extended battery as well, but my battery life on CM7 (and Liberty GB) has been somewhat disappointing compared to when I was on Fission and Liberty FroYo.

I'm getting way more than I need with CM7. I'm on auto brightness, no OC, generally stock settings on everything else. Leaving wifi on, no GPS.

I was trying to calibrate my battery which requires charging to 100, hitting calibrate, running down to 0%, then recharging. I tried to run it down to 0 over 24 hours. Took be about 30 hours total. And I was doing all sorts of crap. Kept my phone on with music full blast while swimming. Did a ton of browsing. Left my GPS on for hours. Ran the flashlight Torch app. All sorts of crap.

It still took 30+ hours from 100 to 0. I slept a whole night after running it down as much as I could the day before and it didn't turn off until I was at the theater the next day watching a movie.

TL;DR: maybe you guys should calibrate, because my battery lasts a long ass time.

How did you achieve this?! I have the extended battery and the phone on battery saver mode with Quickclock (yet still clocked at 1ghz), and I can still manage to run my phone down in about 10 to 12 hours with heavy usage.

batterycalibration app.

Beyond that, nothing. Also, I do mean 0. You might get antsy after the battery gets to 20%? 15%? I ran mine down to absolutely nothing, until it turned off on its own. That'll add some time.

These batteries don't like being run down to zero...they last best and longest over their life if not run too far past 30% or so regularly. One run down to zero probably won't be an issue, but I would not do that regularly.

Yeah. I've only done this once or twice. I was just trying to understand how his battery lasted so much longer than mine did.

Haven't seen that....what text app are you using, stock, or Handcent, or ?

Stock.

Still doing damage control.

There's an old rule, never put anything down in paper or electronically that you wouldn't want to share with everyone you know.

Unable to replicate your issue...

True that. :icon_eek:

My battery life is plain ridiculous. 1 hour and 15 minutes with normal web browsing and very little texting, auto brightness, and I'm at 81%. Battery stats say display is using the majority. I am oc'd, but also undervolted, my vsel on all for slots are significantly lower than stock. Could a small lcd density cause my battery to run lower quick(considering my display is the major battery user right now)? Or is it the fact I'm overclocked, even though I've reduced the voltages? Best case scenario is my battery is shot.
