I'm noticing on gummy and other roms I try that the first 10-12% drops fast then slows down to normal. No matter what kernel I try this seems to be the case. Anyone have any idea or maybe you could school me? Thanks community
I've wiped stats and tried to open and close camera, super aggravating!

When your phone is on the charger, it will charge to 100%. After it hits 100%, it will remove itself from the charger and run on battery. This will go down to a certain percentage (maybe 95%, maybe 90%), at which point the phone will reattach itself to the charger and charge back up to 100%. The drop you are seeing is when you take the phone off the charger while it is in the midst of one of these cycles. I would assume it still shows 100% battery but drops down to what it's really at.
Thanks but my battery doesn't get consistent until around 90 and lower so I'm sure your rite but why does charge to 100%
On my nexus s it stoped at 95-96%?

One way around it is to unplug it for a second and then plug it back in to top it off.
Or charge it while it is off

It's really not an issue, it's just how it works. It gets to 100% and instead of charging more and frying itself, it stops charging. When you take it off the charger at 100%, it's not really at 100%, it's somewhere in between 90 and 100. The reason it says 100 is that if you let it charge all night and it said 93% in the morning you'd have already called to Samsung to complain, as would have everyone else.
The HTC thunderbolt did this as well. To protect the battery, once it reaches 100%, it stops charging. Then once it hit 95% or somewhere in the 90s again I believe, it kicked back on. You have to bump charge. Though I believe once I started installing custom roms, the issue seemed to disappear. So maybe its in the code or something.

Seriously, bump charging will destroy your battery health.
Every phone does it. It is to protect the battery's life.
Batteries suffer when they are 100% charged and when they are really low.
That's why when you get a brand new battery is it charged about 50% because it extends the battery's life while in the shelf.
When I disconnect in the mornings it's always 97 or 98%. who knows when it stops charging in the middle of the night. but from 98% to 75% it is really quick. maybe because during that time I'm on the train listening to music and browsing the internet at the same time.
With iphone 4, I always disconnected at 100% in the mornings and after the train ride the battery was around 88%.

He was just saying that if you put your phone on for a full night of charging and woke up to see it was at 93%, you'd probably assume something was wrong and call the manufacturer. Chill out, he's not insulting or mocking you...
I didn't leave it on all night but he was a little offensive by basically calling me a complainer by saying did I call samsung already
I just wanted to known if my problem was rom or kernel or maybe even hardware but coming to find out that my GN is just like that was a bit of relief. I've owned a galaxy s,nexus s but this was the first time I've seen a Google samsung battery charge behave like this. No biggie was just curious

In the long run maybe a little, for how long most people keep their phones it won't matter though. This was actually something HTC recommended we do for the Evo 4G cause it was the exact same way.
I actually did have one of my batteries discharge too much to where it wouldn't come back, but all I had to do was take it in to Sprint and they gave me a new one for free.

I don't know how you got that from what I wrote. I was just saying that if you woke up and the battery said 95% after charging all night you'd think something was wrong with the phone, as would everyone else. The reason it says 100% is that the phone manufacturers don't want to explain that it's not a problem to a million callers a day.

The same thing happened to my brother's G2.
Then I remembered, It can be brought back to life either with high voltage or high current. I plugged in to my Touchpad's charger (which is 1.3 amps I think), and the miracle happened. It returned from the dead.

Not true.
The best thing for a Lithium Ion battery is to keep constantly charging it as much as possible. These are not the old nickle batteries of ~10 years ago. The internal circuitry inside your phone's charging system is what keeps the lithium cell in it's "happy range".
However, once a cell is outside of it's "happy range" one of two things will happen:
1) Thermal run-away; this is when an overcharged cell begins to generate it's own heat by consuming Lithium, creating more heat, consuming even more Lithium, creating even more heat, etc... When you hear of people's laptop batteries catching on fire in airplanes or where ever, it's usually because of thermal run-away.
2) Cell depletion; if a cell is discharged too low it looses it's ability to retain a charge. It's not a "Hmmm... my batter doesn't seem to hold a charge as long anymore" like the old nickle batteries, but it won't hold ANYTHING at this point.
In closing, there is nothing wrong with "bump charging" your Lithium battery. The charging circuitry has been HEAVILY scrutinized and tested for safety measures and will never overcharge your cell (assuming the HW is opreating correctly).

I am having the exact same problem and can't figure it out. I try to recalibrate the phone before as soon as I unplug it, but it drops down below 100% as soon as I unplug it from the wall charger that came with the phone
This JUST started happening to me this morning.

I get to 100% from both USB and the wall chargher (although I don't use the Samsung charger, I use one from a Bluetooth).
After unplugging, I stay at 100% for a few minutes, then it drops to 99%... Which makes sense, because the instant you unplug it, its obviously not charged 100% anymore.

And the reason I've had the phone for a week now and it just started happening this morning?
(not rooted)
Phone not charging to 100% is actually a good thing.
There's a website I read I think from this forums in another thread or somewhere else but basically explained how lithium batteries work. In it, it explained how manufacturers are encouraged to program their devices/chargers not to charge 100% to prevent over-charges. Doing this actually extends the battery life and efficiency. Its also bad to discharge batteries down to 'critical' levels. It defined critical as being anything under 20% and is recommended to recharge phone using outlet than USB at those levels. Anything above 20% is ok to use either USB or outlet and prefer with phone off.
I can say I saw the same thing happened to my phone where it was charged to 100% but once turned on its actually a little under that. I thought this was related to the "Android OS" battery bug but it isn't.
I charged mine to 100% then booted into cwm and wiped battery stats rebooted and it said 95% heres to hoping I get that extra 5%

When I had the motorola photon it did the same as well as the nexus I had. I think they do this so the phone doesn't over charge. But also if it's just started then you may have the battery drain issue I saw on here. I don't have it so I have no idea where it would come from....

What part of he's not rooted did you not understand? He's asking if Samsung phones are supposed to reach 99% immediately upon unplugging as stated earlier in the thread, then why his only started to do so recently. Nothing about flashing ROMs..
I've bumped because I noticed this phenomenon only recently on mine and think I recall it sustaining a 100% charge in the past. So it may only start happening as the battery ages: for some, like oosoul, after a week, and for others, like myself, after over a month.
If anyone doesn't drop to 99 straight after unplugging, can you post how long it stays at 100? Thanks

It's not a feature.
It has to do with battery calibration. You should be able to fix this by draining your battery, then going into clockwork and deleting the battery stats, then re-charging it up all the way.
Mine was originally charging up to 100%, but then after I flashed a rom it charges up to 99%. I haven't bothered to fix it because it doesn't really matter, but the same thing happened with my Evo and that's how I fixed it.
Does the battery go to 99% for you guys instantly? seems like mine does, as soon as i unplug it goes to 99%, just wondering if its normal or just my phone, because on my galaxy s II i would get like 30 minutes of no drain, like it would stay at 100 for a while, while this phone is like as soon as i unplug the battery is already down to 99.

Calibrate it
Mine stays on 100% for a good half an hour or so too
what is the easiest way to calibrate it? any links.. my GNEX will go 99% instantly too but overall battery drain is awesome
my battery life is TERRIBLE on this thing, it drains like crazy.. i want to calibrate it super badly but im not rooted, so i cant delete batt stats.bin , i even let it drain last night completely charged it again while it was off..still same terrible battery life. its a shame because i really really love this phone.

I'm sorry but that sounds like badly calibrated battery. Lithium-ion Batteries are -never- 100% except for a very brief moment.
It is natural that your phone displays 97%-99% when unplugged (or even when still plugged in). Batteries protect themselves like this, because these batteries cannot be charged while they are full, they will stop charging the very moment you hit 100%.
Generally you don't want your battery to be above 90% for a extended amount of time, that much voltage/capacity speeds up the degradation of the cells. So actually you should be happy, because your battery will have a longer life.

He's technically correct. LiIon batteries are happiest around 60-70% charge level. However given that your actively using a cell phone battery and your not storing it at high charge its OK.
If you really want to learn more about Lithium tech I can link you to a forum where people are VERY serious about this stuff and use them for high powered lights.
This is a known design "feature."

Hey I've read on other forums about these battery calibration apps and whatnot, just want to know if anyone has used them and know if they really do work? The wife and I both have the Dinc2 and i loaded andybonestock on both of our phones.. i use my phone like crazy and she barely uses hers. i put drellis's 21 on and UV 50 and within 15 min off the charger i'm down at most to 98 battery and she's already down to 90. her battery drains rediculously faster than mine and they're both the same exact rom's and kernel specs. Will these app's actually work or is there a real/better way to get hers working better?
Use battery calibration from the market and follow the instructions to a T. Her battery could also be defective. Try the calibration first though.
that's what i'm trying to do. I have it charging right now, at 84% then im going to run it.. just wanted to know if there was any proof it worked or any other option
I left my inc2 get charge to 100% and then use the battery calibration,i notice that my battery goes down from 100% to 97% in just 5second,the battery life is good after goes to 97%,but im not sure why goes down to 97% that fast.

Just a heads up, that is normal, your battery will never stay at 100% it doesn't charge to 100% unless you bump charge it (and that is bad for your actual battery). Having it drop anywhere from 97% to 92% is common, after that you will notice a substantial slowdown in battery drain unless you are heavily using the phone.
I added a picture of my battery life as an example of the length I am getting from the ICS Rom I'm currently using. I have my phone oc'd to 1.4ghz and uv -25 across the board. This screenshot was taken after a day full of phone calls ranging between 3 minutes and 20 minutes, moderate browser usage, moderate facebook usage and lots of texting.
Ya I knew it wouldn't stay at 100 at all but like how mine would be at 97 after 15min and hers at 90.. it just didn't add up.. she rarely used her phone and only had about 6 hours of charge, while my battery with excessive use had enough battery to last me about 16 hours. I reset battery stats and then bump charged her phone. Now its fine

careful on bump charging, it decreases the life of the battery itself everytime you do it.

Charging to 100% and then powering off and charging again IS bump charging, that is bad for your battery itself, it takes away life on the actual battery everytime you do it. I said this above. You may be getting an extra half hour to an hour out of your batterys life but you are decreasing the amount of times it can actually hold a charge each time you do that, therefore ruining your battery for a tiny bit of extra battery life per charge.

The smoking analogy doesn't really relate, smoking can kill you but doesn't always, bump charging for a fact decreased the longevity of your battery hence shortens the time before it does not hold a charge anymore and you have to buy a new one. I made a factual comment, I did not need a condesending response.

My phone's been doing that since the first day I got it. I wouldn't worry.
Just want to add something
The second you stop charging the phone starts using the battery. Even after one nano second it isn't 100% anymore. It might be 99.99999 but it isn't 100%. So, it isn't a problem, it is a feature. The gauge truly works.
oh oh oh! pick me!
i have some knowledge from my evo to bring to these forums! finally!
on my OG htc evo 4g, HTC built something called SBC (Superior Battery Charging) into their kernel. when my evo would get to 100%, charging would shut off. this is designed to prevent over charging and ''thermal runaway'' leading to bloating, overheating, and death of a LI-ION battery. my battery would drop from 100% to 93% in less than five minutes, operating normally the rest of the day. similarly, ive noticed this type of behavior on my E4GT. the difference being, if developed/programmed right, is that charging can be turned back on once it drops below a certain percentage (done on my evo 3d). thus, you can never have 100%, since it will immediately drop once no longer connected.
yay knowledge!
if you find my explanation too long/confusing, it all operates on FMS (****in magical ****)
Got my phone December 19th, and it does this as well. Makes total since though, Once you use even the SLIGHTEST amount of battery, you're no longer at 100%. Im coming from an Evo 4G as well, and ran SBC kernels. Totally agree with the post above me!

HTC kernel did not have SBC, or even built it. Only a few custom kernels had sbc support.
I think it has more to do with the rather unique Maxim chipset fuel gauge on Galaxy S2 phones than anything else.

I was on here trying to find a way to reset my battery's memory...and I found it! Its so easy. So during the day, drain your battery to 20%, and plug it in all night. When you wake up, take off the back, and take out the battery for 3-4 minutes. Then, put the battery in the phone and turn it on. As it's turning on, plug in the charger. Leave the charger in until the phone says "charged" or has the battery icon showing full. Unplug your charger, and say Hi to a factory battery.

it is a way to prevent overcharging the battery (because on the long run, it is decreasing the battery life and performance)
So, what you are doing is that you found a way for overcharging the battery and the result is that the battery life for the first 100 to 98 will be very good, however it will go back to normal after this step.
Correct me If I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I'm right
Nah, its completely better...

Lol....you'll have to show more proof than that, even if youre phone confirms what you said.
Matrix is right, I think this is in your head. Placebo effect as its known.
show us screen shots of batterry useage for a week with this technique, then a week with out.
Then others will have to try it out.
Hey if your smart enough (since again your NOT doing anything physically, trust me ) you could write a a little script and make it an app?
Also its been said the battery gauge is really kind of a pasifier for us.
Physicaly there is no way you are changing the state of the battery by just touching the contacts real fast.
UNLESS your batter contacts are totally fried/or oxidized and somehow the friction has cleaned them???
If any thing, you are resetting the battery statistics/calibration and that ( confirmed by google, and a few a manufacturers)
does nothing.
One thing about batteries; the harder you work them the shorter they live, this is why Samsung,htc even apple said the batteries don't fully charge 100%, because if they did the batteries wouldnt last half as long.
But hey keep working on it maybe you got something there! :good:
and just for yucks
Your phone never charges all the way to prevent over charging and help keep your battery healthy for a longer period of time. Some kernels allow you to change this hidden setting from 98% to 100%.
All you are doing is circumventing the system and potentially harming your battery. And unless you keep doing this for every charge cycle it will return to normal.
You may be experiencing a placebo effect because your battery stats have changed based on the over charge. The battery stats data is used to guage your battery life.. This is updated for every cycle and will eventually return to normal on its own.
