Pull your battery out after charging to 100. Wait a minute, put it back in, boot up, and then charge to 100 again. Repeat until you boot up to 100 then wipe battery stats and use until 1% battery.

Also might want to let it drain all the way.. then fully charge and try wiping battery stats in a cwm recovery..

will do..

Did the advice in this thread fix your problem? My phone just started doing a similar thing today while at work. I'm on CM9 A3, FD10 kernel and FD26 modem. I had my phone plugged in at my desk, it indicated it was at 100%, and then as soon as I unplugged it went down to 84%. I flashed back to EL26, rei-nstalled CM9 A3, and it's still doing it. It also will do it with the phone off. After it's plugged in for a matter of seconds, it jumps up to 100% and stops charging. As soon as it is unplugged, back down to the 80s.

the same thing happens to me every once in a while, pulling the battery seems to help

This! I have always done this when it has happened to me and it has always worked. I would recommend before flashing any new rom when you wipe everything else like cache and delvic and all that good stuff include wiping battery stats.

Thanks for the responses. It is apparently the charger that I had at work. I'm a little surprised that a charger would cause a phone to think it's charged all the way but I guess stranger things have happened.

Charging off usb seems to work the best, I was using an old blackberry charger that gave me similar issues. Now I only use samsung wall chargers.

Trust me a bad charger can cause a lot of problems. One time I was using a crappy lg charger and whenever I would plug my phone in it would say battery disconnected I was sure the phone was messed up took it to sprint they hooked it up to the Samsung charger it comes with it charged fine. They gave me a new charger and I have never had a problem since.

Strange charging issue

I've had something odd going on the past few days. I'll leave my phone to charge overnight and when I wake up and unplug it, it drops down to around 70% right away as soon as I unplug it, When I plug it back in, it will charge for a few minutes then tell me it's fully charged. I take it off the charger again and it drops down again to the 70% range.. It's freaking me out. I was on the stock rom when it happened. I tried wiping and starting from scratch but no dice, I installed culkins rom and the issue is still happening. I've even tried to do a battery calibration but that didnt seem to do anything. Anyone have any ideas?
Probably need a new battery since it can't hold the charge

[Q] Charge time from 0 to 100 ?

So... I'm calibrating my battery. Charged it to 100%, left it run down to 0%, and am now charging it back up without any break. The problem is... as soon as I plugged in the charger when the phone powered down, the charging battery icon came up..and it wont go away. It's been like this for 2 hours.
I'm hoping the device is actually charging and isn't just frozen or something; I don't want to turn the device on as that might hinder the whole calibration thing.
Question is: Does anyone know how long it takes to charge from dead to 100% ? I need to know when to take the phone and see if it's actually been charging this whole time
Actually that happened to me last night let it charge for a lil bit unplug the phone take the battery out and then put the battery back in and turn the phone back on with the power button and it should turn back on

Yeah I'd battery pull but can't mess up the calibration process. I know it's charging because the device is somewhat warm in the back and the display can't stay on for this long unless it's getting juice...
I'll battery pull if necessary in a couple of hours, or tomorrow morning. But seriously, this thing better be charging ಠ_ಠ

So it's morning, the device charged, but I did have to do a battery pull before booting it up. All is well :}
Yeah, I had this issue too
Wondered WTF was going on as I couldnt turn it back on whilst it was charging and the battery logo stayed on even when I unplugged it
Was resolved by pulling the battery and powering back on
OP hows your battery doing now?

When I did a full charge from the point that I ran the battery down until the phone turned itself off, it took approx 140min for it to charge completely to 100%. That being said, I'd give it 2.5hrs max and if it still isn't showing it as being done charging, then there may be a problem.

It's caused by the bad cwm. We need a fixed cwm.

Battery was at 27% at 2:47pm. Been turned on since 10AM and playing music for about two hours with screen turned on for 2h 15m. Was in airplane mode for about 2hours as well. No es bueno imo, compared to what I saw before. Might be the new rom/kernels I flashed; even though they were supposed to significantly increase battery life.
..ah well who knows lol

Has this issue been solved? I just rooted my phone, installed CWM, and different ROM. Whenever phone is powered off and I try to charge it, I cannot turn it back on without battery pull. This wasn't an issue with stock phone.

Phone stuck at 99% while charging

I'm on FB17 and my phone is getting really hot while charging is stuck at 99%. It's been like this for a couple hours. anyone know what's up?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Is something running? When you're plugged in, you're still running off the battery. Mine only goes 100% if it's in standby while plugged in.
Nothings running at all

Turn off the phone and let it charge.
If that doesn't work, pull the battery and let it sit for 2 minutes
Yeah, I'm having the same issue. Also read a few others were as well. I'm going to try and recalibratey battery. Ill keep you posted.
+1 to Nibrs' comment. I would shutdown the phone completely, let it take a full charge WITHOUT the android OS running, unplug the charger, remove the battery for a few minutes then boot the phone back up. After it's been up and running and settled in, plug the charger back in once again. It could take 30-45 minutes to finish this last trickle charge.
I've had this issue since cm9 alpha 1. Don't really care.

Thanks for your non-contribution to this thread.
Alright, are calibrating didn't work ( might of helped battery life tho) it charges to 100% only when my phone is off. As soon as I turn it on, its at 99%. I miss my blue led.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Mine will be stuck on 99% for a long time also but mine will eventually say 100%. It has to do with how the battery is charged. Once it gets to a certain point it only does a slow trickle charge to maintain the battery level. So for the 99% part it's supposed to do that but you shouldn't have those heat issues. Did you flash a new ROM recently by chance?

Since GB my phone has done this same thing. I just figured its an ICS thing...really if u think about it, ur phone is at 100% while charged...u unplug it and it is using battery so you're at 99.999 percent off the bat...seems like the phone just doesn't round less than whole numbers.

You're not actually fully charged when you unplug it. It would be in the 90% area because it doesn't constantly charge the battery. It stops once it gets to a certain point and then will start charging again once the battery hits a certain minimum level.
Well, took almost 12hrs of charging but finally got to a 100%. Btw. I'm on blu kuban rom. Not sure if its a ics bug or a battery issue. Never had this happen in stock.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I think it is supposed to float between 95% - 100% to avoid damaging the battery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Don't know if this a factor but had this happen today on ff09. Battery jumped from 54% to 10% on one reboot (phone was hot)... Rebooted again and back up to 26%.
Got home, plugged in on LG cord to 99%. Changed to Sammy charger, finished 2 hrs later.

How many cycles have you gone since flashing? I have been on blu kuban for over a month now. I update the instant I see an update. Most times it takes around 3 full battery cycles before I see decent life. This last update seemed to take longer than usual to see normal battery behavior. First I would try draining battery to 5%, run battery calibration script in the updater then fully charge and calibrate again. If it continues I would recommend the standard restore to stock and reinstall.

Battery jumps to 100 and stops charging?

So my battery was at 59, plugged it in the charger. Went up to 60, and then to 100 so then it stops charging. But then I use the phone for a little bit and it jumps back down to 60. I've never had this problem before. Any ideas? Oh and I'm using the stock charger.

Tried a different battery?
have you tried just booting your phone down for a bit remove the battery and then trying again?
Have not tried a new battery yet, but I did try removing the battery for a while and putting it back in. I even reinstalled juggs rom. Letting it discharge right now and gonna try chargin it see if it works
EDIT: Let it fully discharged then removed battery for 10 mins. Seems to have fixed it.
EDIT 2 : nevermind it just did it again. FUDGE!!

I'n not an expert. But I had a thought...
Did you by any chance did battery calibration?
And possible your battery was at 60% not a 100%.
Because battery calibration needs a full battery in order to calibrate. Also if you have CWM(ClockWorkMod) get in and try to clear battery stats.
My phone has done this once. What you need to do to fix it is once it says its at 100% unplug it and wait for it to drop back down. Plug it back in and keep doing that until it is actually at 100%. Its a pain in the ass but it fixed it for me and has not done it since.
Factory reset/data erase should do the trick if nothing else works.

Damn. Well I'll try a reset and if that doesn't work I'll try this. Thanks. Also I noticed even though it jumps to the 100 it still is charging. Last night at 23 it jumped to 24 then 100. Left it connected for like 15 minutes and when I unplugged it, it went from 100 to 32. I left it overnight and today when I woke i unplugged it and rebooted. Battery was at 92. So I guess its not that bad but I still want to fix it

Had this happen to me a few times... After a trying a ton of things I got electrical contact cleaner and cleaned both the charger cord end and the charging port of the phone.. Be sure to dry with compressed air gently..

100% battery to 96% after unplugging charger

It seems that many people are having this issue...
I've noticed when using the new T-mobile MC6 4.1.2 roms
that when I take my phone off the charger showing 100%
it instantly drops to 96% or 97%
I own multiple batteries and have an external charger
when I charge externally it shows 100% correctly
even if I plug in charger and unplug it again will still show 100%
it seems the new roms are not allowing the battery to charge fully
let me know what you guys think...at same time I will keep testing and posting
Same here.

Ran into the same problem a month ago. I flashed my phone back to stock, re rooted my phone, and then ran a battery callibrater app. I got better battery life and a quicker recharge. Don't forget to fully discharge your battery and run the app again. I hope this helps and happy modding.
Try taking out the battery for a couple minutes then put it back in and fully recharge. Should recalibrate it.

So far I have swapped my battery out 2x with my external charger
both times rebooting into JMT JB it showed 100% properly both times
in the middle of the night last night I pulled the charger out when it said 100%
it dropped again immediately to 97%
I plugged it back in... when I woke up I unplugged it again stayed at 100%
15 min later still at 100%
I will try and install AOKP and see if the problem stops
it seems that the rom is reading the battery wrong
when I boot to recovery it shows different percentage
right now I am at 92% in JMT JB
when I go to recovery it say 95%
when I reboot back to rom it says 92% again
I went back to AOKP M1
and the better shows the same % in rom as in recovery...
going to keep trying diff things...
its gotta be the 4.1.2 T-mobile rom
You do realize you could edit a previous post instead of spamming your thread just to bump it.
As for your issue it seems to be a battery calibration problem...just let the ROM settle in and you'll be fine
Have you tried using gsam to see what your battery level is after you unplug it

thanx I appreciate your input... cheers m8
btw... after using AOKP and doing 2 charges...
the phone went back to reporting the 100%
correctly and didn't drop when when unplugged
I will also be testing my phone with official koodo/telus roms 4.1.2 based
to see if its just t-mobile 4.1.2 based roms with this problem
This should be me last post on this subject...
after trying the latest Koodo and Telus roms and charging my phone using them
the same glitch occurs when you pull out micro usb shows less than 100%
my conclusion... this issue seems to be on the stock 4.1.2 based roms only
and is not a significant issue...
if you want 100% just re-plug it back in for a little while... and fixed
hope these posts have helped to understand this silly little issue
cheers m8's
