[Q] Inconsistent and Incorrect Battery Reading topic






I've just gotten a used Droid 4 as an emergency replacement phone. When I got it, I did a factory reset, and then flashed the latest Verizon Jellybean firmware. Then, I rooted it and installed SafeStrap recovery. In a rom slot 1, I've installed Paranoid Android 4.4, and left stock slot alone.

Basically, when the phone is powered down and plugged into a power source, the battery reading there is different than that reported by both safestrap recovery AND my 4.4 OS. It read 70%. I immediately booted to recovery, where the battery reading was 50%. From there I immediately booted to Android 4.4, which reported around 30%.

While using 4.4, battery will sporadically drop 20% instantly, but I know it's not accurate, as it hit 0% but continued to function for up to twenty minutes. Android's battery reading is lower than the actual value.

When my recovery reported around 30% battery, I powered it off and plugged it into a power source immediately, where it then read 60%. When I booted from there to my stock 4.1 slot, Android reported 60% there as well, which led me to believe my SafeStrap recovery was also reporting the incorrect battery (which itself was different from 4.4).

I'm trying to use 4.4 as my primary OS but now I have really no definite way of knowing my true battery level at any moment. How can I fix this?
