SOLVED Battery always displays 100%
-
Hey there ! For some reason, my battery always display as full. It's a recent issue. The bacon is second hand, but working fine, until I started experiencing battery drops, which in my experience indicates a failing battery. I ordered a new one, but now I don't even have an indication of the state the battery is in... Any ideas ? Cheers !

What are you complaining about, my indicator is always below 40%
Sorry, just kidding.
I think that's the same story than with printer cartridges... The phone does "recognize" its battery and behave weirdly.
I heard the same kind of story with android so probably just an incompatibility between the battery and the phone. I don't think there is something one can do on the OS side. -
@applee he he I guess I'm stuck with an immortal battery then ^^
Yeah I thought the same thing. Anyway now it seems to work again. -
@emphrath
Good that it started to work.
Maybe an init thingy -
Maybe try draining it until it turns off then charge it to 100% while turned off. Open it and charge again to 100%. I recently replaced my MX4's battery and I kinda did this just to make sure. I had no problem with it so far.

@kugiigi
Where did you get your spare battery ? -
@keneda I took the risk to buy the cheapest one online. Luckily it worked and look quite similar to the original. So far it seems to last the same as the original, which was very bloated and kinda scary already when I took it off. It also came with tools for installing it which is cool.
