my battery was down to 11%, so i turned my phone off and charged it for about 60 seconds through USB and now that i turned it back on it says 47%! there's no way it could have charged that quickly. this is on cm 6.1.2
i flash a lot of different roms but wipe data, cache, and dalvik before each new one. i don't run any unusual apps that would drain my battery and i have tried wiping battery stats every once in a while. ive also tried charging techniques such as charge for 8hrs, charge for another hour, etc. and nothing seems to work. my battery will drain in about 4 hours of moderate use (just web browsing and google talk while watching TV). im in an okay signal area, not using any 4g - happens with any rom.
this is a launch day evo battery but the actual phone (was 002) is replaced with my current 003 refurb.
im gonna try to wipe the whole sdcard and start from complete scratch.

i had this problem and when i checked to see what all was running i saw Google Maps was running... I didnt turn it on either but with a force stop and reboot im back to normal.
wiped sdcard completely, repartitioned, flashed latest cm 7 nightly, used for a while, charged to 50%, unplugged and in 20 minutes went from 50% down to 31%. had the same sort of behavior before on all roms. just display, cell standby, and android system using battery - not much else. maybe i need a new battery?

Ok so I just rooted added a few apps for root nothing that I know will drain my battery, ok so my battery goes down like 10% each hour doesnt last, thats just sitting in my pocket, any ideas

Are you running stock Rom? I suggest using an SBC kernel..
more info needed what programs have you added. something maybe causing a wake lock issue.
rooted my new EVO with unrevoked3,then installed netarchy-toastmod 4.3.1 kernel and my battery lasts all day with moderate usage
I doubt rooting it made your battery worse. there are many rom choices and apps to help you out. With rooting comes tinkering and it looks like its time to tinker. Look into an app called Spare Parts and another one call Autostarts

^^ is your best bet to find out what's eating your battery.
Cheers!
The other issue is your battery stats may be off if you did something odd during rooting. There are several ways to fix that, the generally accepted way is to charge the phone while its on, turn it off completly, then:
1: Unplug phone when light is green
2: Plug in the phone
3: Repeat 10-15 times
I had the same issue, and this is what I did to fix my battery.
1. let the phone die completely, IE when the phone cannot turn on at all anymore.
2.Leave the phone off, let it charge overnight.
3.Verify that the phone is at 100% by going into settings->about phone->status
4.Power the phone off.
5.Boot into recovery
6.Wipe battery stats.
This should fix the issue, if not then consider using a different rom/kernel combo. I myself am personally using CM7 and suffer maybe 40% drain at most with my phone in my pocket with a typical 12 hour shift at work.
**Also, turn 3G off if you aren't using the internet, facebook, or Gmail ect ect. You can still recieve phone calls and text messages using this method. I believe there used to be an option to only have 3G running when the screen is on but i'm not 100% sure if this is still available.**
Yeah like I did that crazy charge thing I read about where you let It die and it helped for a bit and now thing just goes down like 20% after 30mins of just sitting in my pocket

Recently with there updated version 1.9.9 I updated and after I had a reboot because of freezing issues. I noticed my phone was not charging the way it should be and the plug in wasn't hot. So I noticed a few other sensation roms and decided to flash one.
After it was done doing what it does I found a kernel for the sensation tinys something - I knew it would not give me a fast charge but the battery didn't seem to drain fast.
But switched back to MIUI 1.9.2 because in 1.9.9 was when I encountered this. Now using 1.9.2 flashed Chad's incredikernel and installed incredicontrol enabled audio boost and fast charge.
Started playing on my phone again, when I was at 10% 53minutes later it was at 12%. Now I'm confused.. why is this happening is there a way to stop this? On the upside my battery is finally registering the right percentage. Could this be a battery issue itself our something in the system files that never got wiped?
Note: -
I wiped two times and cleared system in mount as well as data.

EDIT : The problem ..you'll laugh at this but was the cord itself. Luckily I had a spare but something it seems happens to a wire within the cord itself not putting out enough charge.
The new one I just used/tried just spit my battery life from 32% to 54% within 8 minutes.

After using odin to go back to ec05 and returning to srf 1.2, everything was pretty stable and I am pretty happy with the result. Today I had something strange happen, I booted up voltage controll and it said it was asking for super user rights like it always does except it was just hanging there thinking. Also my albums in my picture gallery would not load. So I held the power button down and chose the reboot button not the turn off. When it booted back up my battery said it only had 5% left, before reboot I had 35%. So what the heck, why would it do that.
First, did u update super user in market, and then go into super user app and update the binary?

Its an improper display if you boot into cwm and wipe battery stats it would have showed the proper battery also next time you charge your phone play with it once it reaches 100% and leave it on the charger for an extra 20-40 minutes and then you battery should be back to normal. Side note get off of froyo where no longer in the dark ages bud

It is a bug that has been reported hundreds of times. Plug into a charger and reboot back to where you were or leave battery out for 5 minutes and reboot. Wish people could search for this but know the search function is not great.

Yeah, but that is not the OPs issue. There is a bug in CWM and the battery stats that when you reboot below a certain percantage...let's say 70, it will incorrectly drop to a very low percentage. This is easily avoided by rebooting connected to a charger or can be resolved by removing the battery for a few minutes. It will go back to where it was. All the wiping and recalibrating in the world will not resolve this bug. It is just a glitch.
I've been having some strange battery issues.
TLDR: Phone battery drains and warms up when in use, but not when in sleep. Resetting batterystats doesn't fix it. Closing all processes doesn't fix it. It does it on a bunch of ROMs, which were always clean installed. The usual battery saving tricks do nothing.
More detailed:
Basically, whenever I use my S3, I get a considerable amount of battery drain. I used to have fantastic battery life when I was running LiquidSmooth RC5, where I was capable of 4-6 hours of screen time in a day. Now I can only get 2 or less hours of screen time in a single charge. This seemed to start after flashing LiquidSmooth RC8, but I also have the same issue in LiquidSmooth RC9, LiquidSmooth 4.2 beta, Task & Ktoonsez 4.1, Task & Ktoonsez 4.2, Slimbean, and Cynagenmod 10/10.1. So I don't think it is my ROM.
Anyways, so the battery drain only seems to happen when the phone is in use. During that time, the bottom of the phone around where the CPU is located gets considerably warm after just a few minutes of use. Otherwise, when the phone is locked, it deepsleeps fine with no drain. It still does it even when I go through my entire process list (and cached process list) and stop everything, it doesn't help. I've tried the whole batterystats reset where I charged to 100, drained, then charged to 100. That didn't help. I do make sure to clean install my ROMS, including clearing user data, cache, dalvik cache, and formatting my /system. When I look at my battery usage, it usually seems to be Android System using my battery the most. It can also be Android OS, Google Services, and Media sometimes. I've tried a ton of fixes, nothing helps. And of course it still does it with WiFi, data, GPS and all that off.
Help would be appreciated
battery life is an issue with many different factors.. there can be a bad app, bad battery, bad rom, anything really. if your phone is having issues then maybe 4.2 isn't the best for your phone there are many different roms to choose from and many are very stable.
Running 4.2 isn't the issue, though. It does it on 4.1 ROMs too. I'm not even on a 4.2 ROM right now.
Sounds like a rogue app or widget draining it. Get better battery stats. Type it in xda search. That will tell you for sure what exactly is draining the battery. Good luck.
Maybe your battery is just shot and its time for a new one

No, all these guys are wrong. Your phone is shot. I did everything you did. Better Battery Stats, calibrated battery, changed battery, changed SIM card, all radios shut off like data, GPS, Bluetooth, et cetera, no rogue apps, deep sleep according to BBS. You name it, I done it. And no one knows why our phones are doing this.

Except two of my friends that have S3s have the same issue, as well as another friend with an S2. I don't think all of our phones are defective.
Hey Guys,
Woke up this morning to my G2 out of battery life, due to getting home late and forgetting to charge it.
I plugged it in and turned it on, as I usually do in this situation. When it started up it, everything seemed fine until it got into the Rom, and it immediately powered itself off (not abruptly, it came on with this usual "powering off" message that happens when it runs out of battery life.
I assumed this was because I hadn't charged it enough. So I let it sit for a couple of hours on the charger. Tried it again after that and the same thing happened, and has been happening all day since then. The strange thing about this is that the Recovery and HBOOT seem to work fine, so it can't just be the battery that's causing this.
I wiped the phone, and installed a new rom. Still the problem persists. And I still have no issues going into Recovery. It's only the actual OS that doesn't work.
Any thoughts?
Have you done any undervolting?

Any undervolting wouldn't be present after a full wipe but you may not be getting a full wipe
Use a superwipe script and or fastboot wipe and try flashing a new ROM again
