Post OTA battery issues...

[kirkman81]

Hello all,

I purchased a Droid Bionic when they first came out in September and like a lot of you I've had issues with it. It had all the big ones like losing data connectivity and the black screen unresponsiveness. Since I had the OG Droid before that, I knew Motorola was capable of making the phone right so I held out for the inevitable updates to fix these issues. I downloaded the latest OTA Friday and it seemed to be working much better... until today. First, it died within 2 hours after being fully charged the night before. Then when I plugged it in it wouldn't even start to charge for about 10 minutes. Finally it did charge but now it is showing I have 100% charge even though it's been unplugged and used for several hours now. I am I alone in this? And even if I'm not I can't imagine having to wait for another update.

Any feedback would be great, guys. Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Settings > Menu > Manage Apps > All Apps > Scroll down to Battery and data manager & tap it, then tap Clear data.

Then back to Home screen and power down/then up.

Check your battery level again tomorrow after a full charge and see if it behaves normally.

HTH

Edit: Oooops! I Shouldn't have started with Settings...just the Menu button.

Thanks for the tip. It all happened again today so I just took it in to Verizon. They are sending me a new one. Hopefully this one works better.

I could not see clear date on my settings- what am I doing wrong?

Be advised, that even the slightest movement of the memory chip causes major battery drain and overheating of the system. This has occurred twice for me when i changed batteries and moved the chip slightly. If you change batteries make sure the chip is seated properly, not askance, to avoid battery drain.

See my edit to the OP...sorry.

I too am seeing no apparent drop in my battery the last few days. It is why I came to the forum today. My battery icon has stayed at 100% for 3 days now. I take phone off charger in morning, use it normally, and by night when I plug it in to go to bed it still shows a full charge and doesn't even start charging initially. Before the update this was unheard of and I often would need a booster charge up in the late afternoon. I wonder what is going on. Stock non rooted with ota 902 and extended battery. Weird, but I don't really want to mess with it since I seem to have stumbled upon a random magical GOOD thing, ya know.
