Help Ability to turn off "low battery LED" ?

[amped_imports]

So I've had my DroidX for about a year now and love it. I ended up getting a Gorilla Gadgets battery for it and love it as well, the problem though is the battery life meter that's stock on the phone won't sync to the bigger battery. I ended up downloading an app called "Battery Left" which seems to work pretty darn well, but, it has no ability to override the stock battery meter. So, when I'm at roughly 60% battery my phone goes into mode making sure it tells me it's going to die as well as flashing the LED red none stop.

Is there a way to go into some file and turn the low battery level off? Or is there some file somewhere that I can specify how big my new battery is? Any help would be much appreciated.

Also I'm not sure if it matters but my phone is not rooted and I'm running
Android version 2.3.3



Thanks for all help and I apologize if this is a repeating thread.

amped_imports,

I think your issue is a battery stats calibration issue (which you might have already noticed ).

Typically, the battery stats are re-calibrated when you charge it fully and/or then drain it completely--"teaching" your phone the battery's upper and lower charge limits.

I did have a user that I tried to help with my BattMonX app where I created a setting that we thought might help with exactly the issue you are experiencing. Unfortunately, I think in the end, we realized that Android kept thinking that the battery was dangerously close to being fully discharged and would keep turning the LED red like you are seeing. My app would work, but when the phone was asleep (and so was my app), Android would override the LED suppression that my app was doing. We could fix this by also enabling the wake-lock feature of my app, but that has the added complication of keeping your CPU running and therefore consuming battery. Vicious cycle.

My advice to you at the moment would be to try researching your battery statistics calibration options. Please note that calibrating your battery doesn't actually do anything to your battery--you are just trying to properly train your phone to record its statistics about your battery's limit.

I'm not an expert on battery stats calibration, but I've read that you should be careful when draining your battery completely. I would think this would normally be safe--I've had an old phone that had a battery that was completely discharged restart just fine after being fully re-charged. I would just caution you to be careful and informed.

Anyway, perhaps others will chime-in with some helpful advice.

Good luck and cheers!

Sadly I've tried "Teaching" or "Syncing" the battery with still no luck.


The battery I'm using really doesn't give a way other then "some phones syncs, others it doesn't" but that really doesn't help.


Thanks for the input scary alien, I appreciate the help
