D2g battery help

Software control of battery life is built into the phone as a failsafe Against chargers that push too much current through the phone.

If what you're saying is true you have to charge the phone while it is off not necessarily give it a full charge as long as the phone is powered on the charging will be controlled by software and/or the charger

Therefore if I charge it when it's off it should give me an accurate level?

I only us the screen off(300/300) setting with the on demand governor, but going to test the smartass governor kernal which is only for GB roms I think. Another thing to consider, is wiping your battery stats when you have 100% full charge. This can help improve accuracy and battery life I believe.

How do you wipe the battery stats?

If you are rooted read My Battery Life Writeup in the D2G forums here- lots of good info, also tells which apps you might want to freeze. Also consider an extended battery- I love my Gorilla Gadgets battery- Google that if interested. If you aren't rooted, give that some consideration. You can freeze useless apps, use SetCPU (you do, so I assume you are rooted), and install another ROM if you are interested. After rooting, you can do as much or as little as you prefer.

For the gorilla gadgets battery, does the droid 2 battery work on the droid 2 global?

If you're talking about the initial drop of 5 to 10 percent when you take it off the charger this will always happen and it's just a result of the physics I was talking about earlier. Immediately dropping to about 80 percent is actually in fact accurate. the inaccuracy is in it telling you that it was at 100 percent to begin with. To protect the battery from long term damage the chargers don't allow it to charge to 100 percent. By turning the phone off and charging it you can overcome this. With respect to the battery gauge being inaccurate beyond the first 15 or 20 percent, I'm not sure. I don't know enough about linux or the batterystats.bin file to answer your question there.

Set your display brightness to the minimum and still ne usable.

The gorrila battery is a lower voltage battery and runs for a long time at less than 5%. It does last a long time.

I run b/t off, wifi off, gps off, except when needed.

If you leave coverage, air plane mode on.

Keep a spare battery and charger.
