Battery issue

[gambit07]

Hey guys, I've been running Sapphire 2.0 for a week or so now and it's great but I've run into a problem. The battery life has been okay, not as good as I was getting with BB but good enough. One problem I've noticed though is that the phone will drop from 70 or 80% all the way down to 10%, especially if I use navigation. The other problem I have is that when I put the phone on the charger it says its charged to 100% after maybe 20 or 30 minutes. I know it can't have charged all the way from 5 or 10% in that time. I have tried clearing battery stats but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?

I get 15hrs avg in Sapphire. Did you wipe your batt on a full charge and let it drain all the way before charging again?

I did although I've heard that's not even necessary, but I like to cover all my bases. I do get through a full day usually it's only when I use navigation that the battery seems to drop like a rock. I'm not sure what could be going on with the charging issue either, hmm

Not sure. Nav does eat battery. Idk about the charging thing. Maybe try another charger. Screebl is a good battery saving app. This rom is one of the better ones for battery life for me so idk.

Yeah it's odd, navigation drops it from 80 to 20 in about... 15 minutes? Haha I don't think that's right. And the charger I've been using all along and never had any problems with BB or previous roms. Maybe I'll just try reflashing it again

Yea it shouldn't drop that much. Yea I'd backup, wipe, format and install again on a full charge. Maybe wipe dalvich cache too.

i have no idea how you guys get such battery life. im lucky to go like 4 hrs without charge. =/ my phone is constantly plugged in via usb or wall. the only time i dont charge it is when im driving (no navi either).

Well battery life varies for everyone. It depends how you use your phone. For instance my battery drains super quick when I play quake2 or angry birds because of all the resources it takes to run those things. I think 4hrs is kind of low but it depends on usage and battery wear and tear.

How old is the battery? Are you overclocked? I've noticed similar battery issues but not quite to that level. If I had to take a guess I would say your battery is worn out and it's holding a charge anymore
