902 update battery %

**Trackready** · 02-10-2012, 02:23 PM

I'm 10 hours off the charger including being off the charger for the 902 update this morning. Still reporting 100% battery life, pretty skeptical right now.

thats some awesome battery life lol. Would drain that bad boy dead before putting it back on the charger.

I plugged mine in about 6-7 hours after taking mine off charger this AM and it was only at 80. usually, i am at about 40-50 lol

Just dropped to 90 then 80 within an hour. Then from 80 to 50 a few moments ago. Still, normally with 4G at the 12 hour mark I need to plug in. I'm well beyond that now and if %50 is accurate that's a huge improvement. Just will leave it off the charger tonight and see what happens.

I think you need to calibrate your battery! Lol.

Took mine off the charger about 10am, its 9pm now and im at 70%, but I wasnt on A TON like I usually am. Pretty happy with the upgrade (tweaks) to the battery.

Used mine all day with 4 g on and didn't notice a dramatic improvement in the battery life

**Trackready** · 02-10-2012, 09:40 PM

Alright, battery % started dropping heavily in the last few hours. Either way it's a great improvement in battery life. Battery calibration in question or not, before the update my phone would have manually shut down over 5 hours ago!

My Bionic still says my software is up to date (.893) but I was wondering how do you recalibrate your battery?

How would one go about doing that?

I must say I'm really don't like the Bionic's battery reporting only in 10% increments. I found version 9.4 of Battery Monitor which allows the Bionic to report battery in 1% increments.

**FNETHAN** · 02-12-2012, 09:27 AM

My phone doesnt die fast so I dont need to check my battery life every 10 minutes to see 94%, 93%, 92% lol ill stick with the 10% and have 1 less app running in the background =P

Take the battery all the way down to 0 several times and recharge all the way to 100 each time and your battery will be recalibrated.

Please post this battery meter 9.4 you speak of

**neil154** · 02-15-2012, 12:54 PM

If you go to and then in the description there is a dropbox link to get version 9.4

Don't know why this bersion 10.5 is not recoomended since I did not try it

It's available here:

The market app, here: . is no longer compatible with GB, but you can see from that link where you can get 9.4 (the link I listed above.)

I use this one because it can put the % in the notification area, so I don't have to unlock to see the amount of battery left.

If you want a market app that is similar, BattMonX does 1% increments as well: .
