[Q] Inconsistent and Incorrect Battery Reading topic

I've just gotten a used Droid 4 as an emergency replacement phone. When I got it, I did a factory reset, and then flashed the latest Verizon Jellybean firmware. Then, I rooted it and installed SafeStrap recovery. In a rom slot 1, I've installed Paranoid Android 4.4, and left stock slot alone.

Basically, when the phone is powered down and plugged into a power source, the battery reading there is different than that reported by both safestrap recovery AND my 4.4 OS. It read 70%. I immediately booted to recovery, where the battery reading was 50%. From there I immediately booted to Android 4.4, which reported around 30%.

While using 4.4, battery will sporadically drop 20% instantly, but I know it's not accurate, as it hit 0% but continued to function for up to twenty minutes. Android's battery reading is lower than the actual value.

When my recovery reported around 30% battery, I powered it off and plugged it into a power source immediately, where it then read 60%. When I booted from there to my stock 4.1 slot, Android reported 60% there as well, which led me to believe my SafeStrap recovery was also reporting the incorrect battery (which itself was different from 4.4).

I'm trying to use 4.4 as my primary OS but now I have really no definite way of knowing my true battery level at any moment. How can I fix this?

Reading mod topic

Apperantly reading mode only works on play books…
I applied it to xda, instagram and even the stock browser… but it is still not working!

Is there an xposed model or something to optimize it for all apps?? ?

[Reward] Need help reading https/ssl traffic from twitter app topic

Hello everyone, i've been racking my brains for the last few days figuring out why i cant sniff my twitter android app traffic anymore!

Basically what worked before was that i had simply installed fiddler/charles proxy on my PC, exported the root certificate (and added it to my android devices CA storage), then i installed cydia's mobile substrate and Android-SSL-TrustKiller because apparently the twitter apk uses certificate pinning that needs to be bypassed in order to properly MitM the app. I set my android wifi proxy settings to the same ip:port as the machine that fiddler/charles is listening on.

Unfortunately this does not work anymore and im left unable to properly read twitters app traffic, whereas googleplay, facebook, instagram, etc etc all work fine. It had worked fine until a few days ago. I hadn't updated my twitter app either so im just not sure how it could have broke itself.

I tried proxydroid (which uses iptables i believe), and fiddler showed attempts at connecting to one of twitters ip, but it never goes through (i believe this is an issue with the IP not resolving to the host-name correctly, which causes certificate name mismatch errors)

I'm incredibly vexed... i'll pay a fair amount to anyone who can help me properly diagnose and fix this issue.

If it helps, im on a SGS3 android version 4.1.2 (I even tried genymotion emulator, yielding the same results). Perhaps if someone can sucessfully perform this on their own device, they can help me along to identify the issue.
