Battery issues on diff roms - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So my wife and both have t989's hers is running jugs and i'm running beastmod. We both have spare OEM batteries, and what i'm seeing is that every time we swap batteries, a fully charged spare battery will read 88% upon reboot(even confirmed this by charging to 100% in the phone then swapping to make sure wasn't external charger defect) but if you put it on the charger it hits 100% within a min. Has anyone else come across this with using spare batteries

Also forgot to add once it's charged to 100% it gets froze there until you do reboot and then it's normal for days doing daily charge until the next time i'm unable to charge and do a battery swap..since it's happening both our phones it don't feel like would be a phone defect as what ate the odds 2 phones under one roof have same defect and don't seem be a ROM issue as were on diff ROMs...so it's leading me to think maybe t989 in general does this?? Idk any insight would be nice

thats weird. bro..i personally wouldnt be swapping batties..the phones like to settle with the same one for little whilw if it makes sense..plus uyou can try to recalibrate the battery once it hits 100% or wipe battery stats in recovery..?

I dont swap em unless I need to...I travel alot and listen music and watch movie on plane which drains battery and can't re charge until I get in a rental car so have swap em out or have a dead phone.

I was just curious if anyone else using a spare battery has encountered this

Question with battery

I purchased the official Seidio 3500 mah batteries for my evo and the wifes evo. After a full charge, her battery under normal usage all day and night is at 57%. My phone after a full charge and barely any use whatsoever was at 13% after an hour..... We are both running Azrael x3.0 rom with the newest htc kernel #15... any suggestions?? Maybe my new battery is faulty?? I would expect this from ****ty ebay batteries, but not something official!! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try eliminating a variable by swapping batteries with your wife....then use your old one again.....if both work well then you have your answer......

Swap batteries ... if hers only lasts a short time in your phone then issue is with the phone. Then you can start troubleshooting.
Edit: Ha I was a few second to slow!
Ok I will give that a try.... I noticed in the battery left widget when I go to usage, the very first one says "running" 84%, and I click on it, basically it is stating that the phone isn't sleeping when I lock the phone..... could this mean that the everything is staying on when it should be sleeping?
Thank you for tips!!

Switch batteries with your wife.
EDIT: I guess that was too obvious! We must have all hit return at the same time!!!

Ok after being on the charger for all night, I unplugged it, and really haven't done anything and I dropped to 90 % within 8 minutes.... I haven't had a chance to try my wifes battery yet, but im thinking this one is definitely faulty...
Why would android system be at 63%???

Dropping the first 10% quickly is not a certain indication that its the battery....your battery charges to 100% and then, begins to be used up to 10% before it charges again.....so you could have been lower than you thought you were originally ...thus making it appear that you dropped 10% in minutes.....if the remainder of the battery does this then I still recommend you try swapping with your wife to eliminate or confirm

Ok well I just wanted to say thank you guys for your advice, but I think I figured it out.... I think that some things within the phone were not getting along. I flashed the SBC-Net-4.2.2-more-havs kernel #11. I fully charged the phone, including bump charge, and I left it on for about an hour or so longer, and I have been unplugged for 1:44, and my awake time is 45 min. I am still reading 100%!!! So I think I am good to go....
Thanks again guys

[Q] Battery life decreases after a few days

okay so im running the mikofroyo 4.3 rom it starts off with 26 hours of battery life at a full charge... after about 3 days it decreases and at a full charge i only get 7 hours what can i do to fix this? this, has also happened with other roms as well
You probably use,it differently at other days..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no the most i use it is on the weekends where i work we are not allowed to have cell phones so it just sits in my pocket or in the car all day
Do you use chats or something like that ? Like aim and stuff
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Get an app called battery booster. Let the phone's battery get under 20% click full cycle charge. See if that helps. Also how often do you let the phone just die out? That could help. Oh yeah and don't mess with the phone on full cycle charge.
Yeah try different things

(Q)How long does it take you to charge phone?

How long does it usually take to charge your s3 fully? I ask because mine has always charged very fast but lately its taking sooo long to charge and I dont know why..what do you guys think?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
with the standard charger came with S3, usually took around 2h30 to fully charge.
Mine used to charge super fast but now its taking soooo long.. its takin me an unusually long amount of time.. any body know what could be up ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I can't really tell you a time exact but not that long. Last night I was at 50% plugged it in and charged completely in bout 45 - 1hr. I usually don't touch it tho.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Takes me a about 2hrs. With the charging accessories that came with my phone. Are you using the original charging accessories?

Rogue app.
Yes everything I use is official samsung came outta the box.. I had been flashin quite a few roms then went back to complete stock lj4 and it just seems like its taking way too long to charge.. ive never noticed this problem infact I was always alarmed at how fast it would charge

With the phone turned off, it takes mine about 2 hours to charge.
When you flashed this last rom did you wipe data/factory reset?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I have a Q: My rom (SlimRom2.9.0) has an option for Quick Charge mode, where it will charge faster but you loose USB connectivity functionality (for connecting to a computer).
Will the SGS3 also take advantage of a higher output (2.1a) USB charger, ala iPad chargers? Does the circuitry inside detect and is smart enough to adapt?
Look at the battery stats and see if something is hogging it. Get something like battery drain analyzer to see the percentage you're charging at.
You guys think it has anything to do with the stock lj4 kernel? My battery life kicks ass 4 hours screen on with 17 + hours of battery life.. still charging is slower than usual. Hmmmm

Yes I always do before any rom even if I dont have to..

I would try to drain the battery all the way down, then with the phone off, recharge it back to 100%.
After that see if there's any improvement.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Been on the charger for 4 hours ive been using it and booting to recovery here and there and from 8% im still only on 85%.. so damn strange. Tonight im going to borrow my buddys charger and see if it improves.. but this sucks

Mine takes about 2 hours from 15% sometimes I'll be playing a sandbox game and it will take much longer. Just don't unplug it when you plug it in.
My unicorn died, back on the pony.
Could it be a faulty battery?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Like most others on this post, my GS3 will take roughly 2 hours to charge.
Depends where I am charging from, usually I end my day with around 20-30% battery life still.

It could be. But to be sure id do the full cycle I mentioned before, and even consider flashing back to stock! Just for testing. You can always nandroid and go back if you like. Though a fresh rom flash may be better.

I use the charger from my 10.1 tab. I believe it runs at 5 amps. Definitely charges faster although I've never timed it by how much. If I charge it on the wall charger that came with my chinese batteries, it takes over 9 hours sometimes. Yet the chinese batteries only ever charge up to 91% on it's own charger, I have to charge the rest once I put it in the phone. Weird.

Battery drains even while on the charger!?

I've had this phone for 1.5 months now flashing daily never had any problems until three days ago my battery charges so slow that I can't keep my phone charged it's even draining while I have it on the charger! I know one ONE time I couldn't find my Samsung wall adapter so I used my iPad charger but the voltage is the same and its at 2amps so it can't be the culprit can it?? any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Oh BTW I wiped data, both cache, /system, fresh flash, fix perm., baterry stats, all of the above and still dies slowly on the charger... maybe I need another cable? Iddk :/

I think I charged my battery once or twice with a nexus 7 charger (2 amps). I didn't explode or anything.
Go to a sprint store and ask nicely to test their own battery. See if maybe your battery died (don't discharge this type of batteries below 10 or so %, that damages them over time and the capacity is reduced).
Also thought I should mention I have all sync support off..

When you say test their battery do you mean just to check if it charges? Maybe I should go with my charger and all? But honestly I can't find my s3 wall adapter I'm using my Epic 4g Touch adapter lol!!!!

Sprint will give u one at the store under warranty. Samsung will ship you one, even out of warranty, as they warranty the batteries for 18months vs the 12 for the device itself. Or so said the guy at Samsung that sent me mine for my E4GT last week

[Q] Charging Overnight

Hello!
I just bought my note ii and the phone its awesome! I just wanna ask if there is a problem charging the phone overnight?
Thanks in advance!
No. It will be fine. That what I do all the time when battery hits 1%
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No problem. I charge every night regardless of percentage.
Although if it's like 90 or higher i just leave it til next day.
I like to make sure i have a full battery each day instead of charging as little as possible like other people
