Battery Problem

[flipsy]

So I installed bb5 and followed the directions exactly. i have tried slayher's 1ghz lv and stock voltage kernels and still have the same problem. my phone will be about 60% charge then it would drop to 20%. i then connected it to the charger and after 2 minutes, it goes abck to 60%. any fixes?

did u clear the battery stats in the clockworld recovery screen. also remove battery let it sit for a few minutes. Also, could be the battery is starting to go. Some of the cells might not be working

yes i tried all of that. maybe i'll buy a new battery

I had this problem this week -- what was happening was that it would be at 10% and then I'd plug it in for a charge and it'd rocket up to 70% in about 10 minutes. Impossible! I wiped battery stats but that didn't fix it, so what I did was ran it down completely, then plugged it in to charge it and let it charge to 100% and then left it there for at least another hour without touching it at all. Since then my battery life is much more accurate and seems to be better.

FWIW, I'm using the same kernel so you might have the same results.

I'd say it's the ROM. I just recently switched to UD after suffering and waiting for .6

.5 ate my battery up. I have an extended, and it died twice as fast as my regular battery. Now I switched ROMs and the battery lasts for days.

UD has great battery life

My battery life has also started sucking recently. I've been on BB0.5 since it was released, but the problem just started a few weeks ago. I assumed it was the battery & ordered a new one on Amazon for like $5 shipped. I'll post results when it arrives.
