I'm trying to track down the source of some odd battery behavior.
Rebooting my Inc changes the reported charge 10-20%, i.e. if the reported charge is 75%, upon reboot it is reported as 61%, or even if the charge is 15%, upon restarting it is 26%.
I can no longer reach a 100% charge, but charging stops at 99%. If I attempt a bump charge by powering down at 99% and continuing charging, I have never yet (since my installation of Virtuous 3.1 on 10/19) seen a green LED, and when restarting the charge level is reported anywhere from 65-90%.
This behavior is observed in both my stock 1300 and 1500 batteries, so I have to look to hardware or software issues for the source. I have charged as fully as possible and wiped battery stats each time I switch batteries. I have only noticed the behavior since my clean install of Virtuous 3.1 with the newest kernel. I have added the Inc. rEVOlution theme.
My battery life overall appears to have dropped as much as 1/3 with my same usage patterns compared to previous ROM/Kernel combos. Based on what I've read here about the new kernel and battery life, I should be seeing the opposite.
I'd like to try applying an older kernel (the previous stock V.4) to see if that addresses the behavior.
My question to you is: is applying an older kernel advisable? Am I chasing my tail with this whole issue?
Everyone here knows a lot more than I, and I apologize for even mentioning battery problems, but I really prefer this ROM overall and I want it to work for me.
Thank you.
