Home screen battery icon issue - not drain related

I'm having a rather paticular issue with the battery icon, and unfortunately searching does not bring any relevant results.
I've flashed numerous 6.1 roms, so do not think it is rom related, as the issue is apparent with all roms - including the oem one.
Sporadically, when the phone wakes up, the battery icon is showing a -1 status, no charge bars - or an empty battery. As soon as I change screens, and then go back to the home screen - the battery icon is showing the actual percentage, etc. Icon appears full based on status, etc.
I've tried a few different battery status icons, including batterystatus as well as the ones that come with the roms, and have the same issue.
Anyone having a similar issue ?? Is it hardware related ??
Any feedback greatly appreciated

Battery status indicator bar slow to appear... sometimes

Is it normal for the battery status bar to be a little slow to appear on the power tab in settings sometimes? It's a bit hit and miss, sometimes it does it, sometimes not. Mostly does this after bringing the phone out of standby, getting a little annoying.

Mine was always instant using the stock rom.
Have just checked it on the custom rom i'm using and don't have that issue on this rom either.
What % of memory is it sitting at? (Mine rarely gets over 50%)
Have you installed a lot of additional apps?

This is with nothing installed except my contacts and diary. My TP doesn't do it and that has got a shed load of apps on it. hmmm

hmm....
maybe someone else running the vodafone rom will pop on and say if they have the same issue.
I honestly can't ever remember having that issue.
Sorry i can't be of more help.

no worries As I say, doesn't do it all the time.

Battery and Charging Icon issues

I have an odd issue. I am running the stock ATT rom until I can get the stupid phone to take the HardSPL (different issue being worked on).
The icon at the top shows the battery at full capacitiy all the time. I have Phone alarm on and it has a battery indicator that shows it as low as 20% while battery icon is still 4 bars full. Also there are times when I remove it from the usb and the charging icon stays on instead of showing the battery icon. If I soft reset then it seems to go to normal and the charging icon is replaced by battery which seems to always show full.
I am quickly getting frustrated at this ATT rom. My Kaiser was set up perfectly for my liking and I want to get this to the same point.

[Q] Weird issue fixed? Gnex turned off after plugging out of charger

Hi,
I know some people already went through this and i'd like to hear from them how they solved it and what are your thoughts about this issue. (I'm not sure if i solved it yet...)
It was all ok yesterday night. Received calls, sent messages through Whatsapp, Facebook, read articles on Flipboard, and set up the clock alarm and left it on the screen (in that dark mode with blue numbers - my phone is set to never sleep when charging).
And no, the phone didn't drop/suffered a hard impact or anything liquid came near the phone.
Plugged my phone to charge on the wall, the charging bolt icon appeared on the battery icon and i went to sleep. (The battery was at 34%)
I woke up this morning, battery was 100% charged as expected, so i unplugged it. Just after that, the phone went off and i couldn't turn it on.
I plugged it back on the wall and the charging battery icon appeared. It was showing an empty battery charging all over again. I tried to power it on. Google screen showed up, followed by the loading X from JB, then turned off.
I unplugged again and left my phone quiet for a while and then i tried to turn it on again. Turned it on all the way until the lock screen, but the battery icon was empty (with a "!") and then the phone went off again.
I've tried to follow some workarounds i've found on Google but none of them worked for me.
-Hard reset, trying to remove battery, sim card
-Cleaning the golden contacts on the battery compartment/battery/sim card with dry soft cloth.
-Trying to plug it on pc without the battery (couldn't recognize the phone - weird, because i've connected it many times and it was ok with it's drivers properly installed - no beep after 5 seconds)
-Power it on after plugging it on the wall
What i've just tried and seem to work (i hope so)
-I took the battery and sim card off the phone for a while. Put it all back after some minutes and turned it on. After the JB loading screen appeared, i waited a while and then plugged the cable on phone/wall.
Looks like the phone is working now, all my settings, pictures, data, music still there and the battery is charging all over again, from 5% (!?!?!?) but i'm not sure if it's really charging. I don't know if the phone will turn itself off again if i unplug from the charger.... Anyone has any ideas?
Could it be any software issue? (I've installed "Battery Widget? Reborn" from Play some days ago. It's a really beautiful widget for battery info but i don't think it's the problem because i've charged the phone a few times since then and it was all working good)
And i don't mess around too much with the phone. Just rooted to change from yakjuvs to yakju and update from ICS 4.0.2 to ICS 4.0.4 and then to takju/JB 4.1.1.
(My GSM Nexus is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1 - JRO03C, XXLF1, all stock and rooted. And yes, standard battery that comes with it)
Thanks!

[Q] 4.3 Update -> GPS going crazy at times...?

I connected my GS3 to a computer running Kies 2.6 yesterday and it prompted me to update to Android 4.3 which I did...seems to work really well for the most part (although I did it late last night so haven't had much time to mess around with it yet), but I've noticed that, at least at times, the GPS icon in the notification area is constantly coming on, disappearing, and then coming back, etc. - anyone else experienced this? My only concern regarding it is that my battery will drain faster because of this...?
