Battery Manager error

[slowtype]

Got the latest update and am getting a battery manager error that some of us were seeing on the leaked update.

I got the official OTA update, I'm also seeing the Battery Manager force closing on me everytime I try to use it.

It's been working fine for me.

No problems with mine either...

Did you guys with the error, try going into settings/applications/manage apps/ "all" tab and clear the data for battery manager?

 

[slowtype]

Yes. I cleared the cache data

Occasionally the battery manager does work. Never when I need it though

I checked the Motorola forum and a number of people have reported having this problem there as well.

I updated last night and I haven't seen it yet.

I cleared the cache. The problem is still there. I tried manually force closing the app, it refuses though. When I tap the force close button, it shows me pressing it but it doesn't do anything, it goes back to its "unpressed" look. And I keep pressing it over and over, nothing happens.

I've gotten this too. I've found that it works for a while after first boot, but at some point starts failing. A reboot clears it. My guess is something in their improved battery life fix introduced some kind of memory leak where attempting to use the settings tool to query battery properties results in a crash/force close.

It'll probably be a while before they address this in another OTA update or patch.

I had the same problem with battery manager right after the update. However, after a couple of reboots, it has worked fine.

I encountered the same problem, guys. A factory data reset might fix it....but I'm not certain.

If you use it while plugged into a charger it seems to work. When it is not plugged in it doesn't work.

I also get the force closed error. I showed the guy at Verizon and he offered to give me a replacement.

I have the same problem on my R2-D2.Verizon even sent me a new phone after the factory resets didn't work.Still force closes on the new R2-D2 I guess i'll live with it till someone figures out what is causing it.

Been using these forums for a good week now since I got my D2, thanks to all the people here for the help!

Back to the topic- I've been looking all over for the name to credit who first said how to fix the battery manager app crash. Can't find it- so if you're out there... you're appreciated. Hope this helps.

On a D2, I went from rooted 2.2.20 to 2.3.20. Had to use RSDlite with Vista to upgrade to 2.3.20 b/c I had deleted bloatware- causing the OTA update to fail. Once I had installed Triple Threat 2.3.20, batt mgr began with the force closes. This is what fixed it:

-Cleared app data/cache through "Manage applications" for Battery mgr (could be optional)
-Booted into stock recovery and selected "wipe cache partition"
-Rebooted and Battery Manager works fine.

I'm struggling finding any instructions on booting into stock recovery. Can you please explain how to do this on the D2
