You need to drain the battery down to 0% firstly, than while its off charge it for 4 hours without using it at all, phone calls if needed but preferred not to. just do what i did and drain it till night and charge it till morning, good as new!

Well....I've just ordered a new battery for my phone....
I take my phone off charge first thing in the morning, check my email, check in here and (occasionally) check fb....in all no more than 10 or 15 minutes online....might make a short call or 2...
By this time battery is getting close to 85% remaining power where the phone shuts off.....every time. Plug the phone into charge again, and power on, and remaining power is at 40% or less. Battery is also showing *some* signs of physical deformation....minor swelling.....
I'm assuming that this all points to a faulty battery and not some ROM bug.....and I also assume that it's not the ROM that's causing it?

Yeah that's the battery. It couldn't be the ROM or else we'd all be replacing batteries. lol
A new battery also has to be calibrated. The store guy should tell you how to. If not, let it drain with normal use, then full charge. Take it off the charger as soon as it gets to 100%. Do this for 3-4 charging cycles, and the battery should be good to go.
Maybe you should also wipe battery stats from CWM once it charges to 100% the first time. That should clear up your batterystats and let you start fresh.
Good luck!

Just so you know you're not alone, this is happening to me now for the second time... I already replaced my stock battery and that replacement is beginning to swell now with terrible drain.

Yaay.....I have my phone back....the battery arrived this morning....I charged it up and so far have seen no evidence of catastrophic battery drain. The new battery is a 1700mA unit....it's not Samsung branded and only cost £5 from Amazon.....so I'm not expecting miracles....I'll just have to see how it fares over time....who knows?......
CM 9....I don't HAVE to, I just......can
This also happened to me with CM9 beta 2 firmware
Well I need to know from you guys, it's not that I don't know, but need to reconfirm. I think mine is taking much lower now than it was. A full charge, say from 5% to 100%, with Stock charger?
Thanks in adv.

roughly 1 percent for 1 minute. should be charged in a couple of hours

Charging from 0 to 90% happens in no more that 2 hours I would say. from 90% to 100% the charging rate gets slowed a lot. So basically shouldn't take more than 2:30 hours from 0 to 100%.
Thanks guys. Now I remember it was 2 hours 45 mins for me too at first.
Today it took 4 hrs 30 mins. Reason? I'll say tomorrow, after confirming.

I rarely charge it to 100%, usually to 70 or 80%. much better for the battery in the long term
Any research or refrence for this longevity ? I heard its always better to charge 100% ?

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
you are welcome. the general rule is to try to 1) avoid charging to 100%, really diminishing return the higher it goes; and 2) avoid deep discharge cycle. I usually use 40% of the capacity at work everyday, so charge to ~70% in the morning, use down to ~30% and then charge again. charging time in this range is rather linear, about 1 percent a minute

Yeah, it happened to mine too few days back. My Note2 went crazy, taking around 7-8 hrs to fully charge from 15%. So, i tried searching about the problem on google but to no avail. Did a factory reset with cache wipe and problem solved :good:. Now it takes about 2.5 hrs to fully charge from say 10% (using the samsung wall charger with phone switched on). I can only say that the slow charging was caused due to some software but don't know exactly which one? You may as well try the hard reset if anything else doesn't work out .
P.S : Btw i'm on stock fw with no root or mod! Only did some OTA updates couple of weeks ago.
Guys, we have a changeable battery and is already writed Inside to android that it won't charge to 100%, it just shows at 100% but really it is at 95%-98% that feature came with 2.2.1 update 2yrs ago.
And we can change the battery after 2yrs for 20-30$, unlike Nokia lumia users or HTC one x or iPhone users.

Yeah, thanks. But if you've Watchdog installed then you can see which app is going over threshold and keep running on background. And yes, this time, again, the culprit was PowerAMP! Uninstalled it and voila. The same app created problem for me when I had my S2, charging was pathetically slow, even I had to go to SC and they said battery is gone. But I didn't believe and asked a techy friend and he said it might be some app, and damn right he was.
Anyway, if anyone having the same issue like mine, that is, charging duration has increased with Stock charger, then install Watchdog (the lite version will do) and see who is the culprit.
I have no idea how a top app like PowerAMP could cause this! Jeez!

Yep, I guess everyone has this
Send from my GNote 2 what else...
Li ion batteries calibrate themselves, and I think one of the variables that helps compute the battery percentage can change upon restart. Hence the amount of juice in the battery is unaffected, but the calculated percentage may change. This is also why you can sometimes see a sudden drop by three percent, but it can stay at a random percentage for a longer stretch of time.

Hey guys.
Seen this thread and wanted to ask.
I have a 7 day old GT-N7105T and I've charged it right, ya know the first charge to 1% ect and have given a few good full charges.
Now, I'd assume after even one or two charges I should still get a feel for the battery capacity, I'm a week in and I'd say my galaxy nexus lasted longer or the same. I thought it would be a lot better.
Maybe I'm judging too soon but I don't think so. I may have a bad battery.
Right now I'm on 13hr stand by, 30mins calls, 2hr screen time and I'm down to 53%?
Is this normal?
Thanks guys. Just want a second opinion. My friend has one and he easy gets 5hrs screen time and still has juice while having everything on and doing normal stuff. I've turned off everything. All I have is weather every hour and email every hour. That's it basically. I've even turned off all motion and google search and s-voice just to see what the go is.
Thanks in advance guys.

I am a heavy user of android playing games and such. Therefore, the battery drops down to 20 in nearly an hour and a half. I end up charging the battery 4-5 times a day. Is this bad? Can I improve battery life in anyway?
No it's not bad. and post questions in the Q/A section from next time please.
To improve battery life don't play so much games.

Nothing, while you are using phone during charging you are charging your phone. You can do.everything with your phone. But better if you use EP850(1500mA) while using it instead of standard charger (850 or 550mA)
