If you have flashed your device or frequently flash your device and are having a few battery live woes perhaps this quick little fix will get you up and running again. You pretty much charge your device, reboot into recovery mode and use&nbsp;ClockworkMod Recovery to wipe the stored battery statistics file. Any of you flashers (rom flashers... geez, people) out there having serious battery drain issues?</p>

On my Xperia X10, I flash ROMs weekly, sometimes daily. I use xRecovery and erase battery stats every time I flash. (As well as wiping SYSTEM, CACHE and DALVIK Cache). Battery life is just fine.
