    1. Ignore the battery level, the lower end of the battery lasts a lot longer than the top end. I get hours of use when it says there is only a few percent left.

    3. I'll give it a go, I'm not an expert, should I use CWM recovery, MTKDroidTools or SP Flash Tool?

      My phone is rooted

      Delete
    4. You could use anything..the most preferable would be CWM ..

      > says there is only a few percent left.

      thanks,
      I installed the cpu tuner, battery calibration etc ect,
      but which is the cause of the dancing level of the battery and the incredibly speedy descent
      from 100% to 80% in a few minutes
      after remove the charge-cable ?

      the battery o the internal sensor of charge or the chip ?

      maybe does it need a special fix to solve the wrong level of the battery ?

      thanks from Italy
