Hi
Yesterday I've got my BA off from the charger, put on some music, turn off the screen and left home. After about half hour, I've noticed that the battery is still on 100%. Ooookay, that's just not right, I have my BA since 8 months and it should be around 95%. A little bit later I've noticed that the battery meter is basicly shows 100%, then goes down to 99%, goes up to 100%, and so on. I've done a soft reset, nothing, battery is on 100%. Took out the battery, put back a few moment later, and bang, my battery is at 94%. It works well since then, but I'm wondering, what can cause this? Can it be that it is cold winter here? Or my battery is dying?

I think this may be a general WM problem, i had the exact same problem with an Acer N30, although only a hard reset fixed it. Possible that the battery just needed a reseating?

After having gone through the posts regarding battery being drained very fast, went out and got a new one. It worked like a dream for about a month. Used to last a couple of days before requiring a recharge (it would go down to 20% remaining).
I usually leave the battery to charge overnight, have been doing that since the beginning. Well two weeks back, I find that my JasJar shows Green light but it would not turn on. A soft reset resolved the issue. But now everytime the battery goes into full charge (after the orange color LED turns Green) either of the 2 happen
1. The device resets itself. When switched on the battery charge shows less than 100%.
2. The device will not turn on until a soft reset. When switched on the battery charge shows 100%.
I have used WM6 from Laurentius, KDSKamal and the T-Mobile WM5. All ROM's give me the same result.
I tried using my old battery ( to make sure that my device charging was not faulty)and that works fine (except for the fast drain problem).
Anyone with any ideas as to what the problem could be?

seems like your new battery wore out (was not able to take the prolonged charging, an hour of charging will already give you almost 100%)... you said it yourself that your old battery works without the same problem
if you have just bought it for a month... there should be a warranty for this.... have it replaced immediately...
This seem to have happened to some other Samsung devices (like the GSII) but I don't think it has been brought up in the GN forum (my bad if my thread search was poorly done and someone had talked about it before).
So I was using my GN a few hours ago, doing some messaging and whatsapp. Then I left it to sleep. Just now when I pressed the wake button, it didn't turn back on and I thought it was a sleep of death. I did the battery pull trick and turn it back on only to discover that its battery had been drained from around 55% to 0% in no time (see the attachment screenshot). It really freaks me out and I'm wondering what's wrong with my GN - is it a software glitch or a sign that some hardware is gonna fail?
Same thing happened to me just now. Dropped from 62% to 0% (zero percent) in no time!
Screen flickered a little and then - POOF - it's gone... Pulling the battery and reinstalling didn't help; looks like it's really at 0%
What could be causing it?

I also experienced the same thing about a week ago, battery went from about 40% to 0% almost instantly. I plugged it into the charger while the phone was off and started it after about 30 minutes . When it booted the battery was 55%.
I haven't experienced it since.
Hey Guys,
i got my ZL 3 or 4 weeks ago, and can say it´s absolutly awesome, but since ca. 2 weeks, i have a problem with my battery. The problem begun, as i found my battery completely discharged, so i put it on the charger. But it didn´t charge the whole night. In the next morning it startet to charge, i waited till 100% an took it off the charger. Over the day, i watched the battery drain, and it was more than normal, the battery went empty, after a 5 or 6 hours with 95% standby time. At home i charged the phone again up to 100%, ab pluged it off, the next morning, the battery had lost not a single percent off its charge. So i went to work, with the phone in my pocket. A little later the phone got really hot, i pulled it out and, found the battery with only ca. 55%, so i turned off the phone. 45 minutes later, i turned it on again, and the battery had only 27% left. And so it goes on the next days, with more or less battery drain, some days the battery holds 10 hours perfectly, and at some other days it only holds 4 hours and less. And now the charging procedure have problem too, when i charge the phone via USB, it charges unbelieveble slow, and even discharges sometims , but when i charge it with the power adapter, it charges unbelieveble fast, you can watch the percentage rise in minutes. I tried the STAMINA modus but, it didn´t help at all, and the screen is on the lowest brightness.
And i have too say, i don´t have any apps activ, and 3G is only on for a few seconds sometimes.
The phone isn´t rooted, or everything else, it´s completyly stock.
I hope someone experienced any similiar problem, and have a solution for me, because it´s an awesome phone and i didn´t want to miss it.
(Sorry for my not so good english)
Yours faithfully

Hi, after 3 happy years with my xperia s, here it is a major issue. Three weeks ago, in the middle of a phone call my xperia shuts down (battery at about 85%) and no mean to restart, it was like dead. No led if in charge or connected to my pc. After three days, a friend opened the phone, pull of the battery, reconnected the battery and, here it goes, it started again. But, another issue now, battery drains at 10% each hour in stand by. I changed the battery with a new one, same thing, i had a hard reset, same thing. Battery status shows 30% consumed by the screen (but it was only 15 min !) and google services 25%. Anybody has an ideea how to fix it ? Thanks for your answer.
Phone was at 98% battery. Did a reboot as I do every morning, and when it started up again it showed 91% battery. I know reboots don't take 7% battery, so what gives?
My Pixel 2 XL has been having some battery reporting issues, I noticed that when I took my phone off the charger it would lose 15% very quickly then stabilize. Rebooting would also cause a drop in indicated battery %. That's my guess. Investigating to see if it can be fixed by doing a full charge/discharge cycle.

I've also been seeing this issue! I will also be letting it do a full cycle today to see if it helps since it only started a few days ago.
My battery seems to be okay but my charge port when I place the cable in it doesn't feel like it fits snugly it almost has a slight wobble to it. Have you guys been noticing that as well?
I've actually been experiencing this as well for a week, I called up Verizon and they shipped me a new phone. So far no charge issue anymore on this one.
I have experienced this too
Tested this again this morning. Had the phone charging overnight.
Unplugged it, it showed 100% battery.
Immediately rebooted, and it dropped to 96%.
With a lot of phones, battery stats reset on reboot. Also- the percentage isn't a perfect science. Just let the phone do its thing. Run the battery down and recharge it. No need to reboot the thing every day.
The battery has been great for me. I use my phone extensively throughout the day, maybe 3-5 hours on time, I always make a day of use without needing to plug in. I had a light use day yesterday, and had 30% left @ 11pm, after pulling off charge the night before @ 11:30pm.
Pleased to announce that (in my case at least) doing a full cycle reset the fuel gauge and it is now working properly. I've never seen a device come with a miscalibrated fuel gauge from the factory, so that was odd. I usually keep my li-ion powered devices between 80% and 30% SoC(state of charge) to reduce cell degradation so we'll see if the fuel gauge becomes uncalibrated over time (which would be somewhat unusual) or if this was simply a software fluke.
Yea I have noticed that in my case, my phone says 100% on the charger so I will restart the phone while still plugged up and once it's booted back up it says 98% so it lost 2% while hooked up to the charger lol. Doesn't seem to affect the battery life. I'm still able to get 5 hrs of screen on time but I will try to kill it completely and charge fully today and see if it fixes it.
This morning I didn't do the restart and didn't use the phone or even turn my screen on and within fifteen minutes I turned it on to 98 % remaining.
