I'm having some odd battery issues all of a sudden. The other night I fell asleep without plugging it in and it got down to 6% . I plugged it in for a few hours. When I checked it I realized it hadn't charged at all but the indicator said it was charging. I unplugged it and replugged it and left it for an hour, it got to 22% then I turned it off so it would charge better . When I turned it on about an hour later it was back down to 4%. Its not the plug or my charger I've checked everything. I managed to get it to 50% by unplugging and plugging it in a few times but it took nearly all day. then I left so I charged it in my car and got it 80%. Last night it charged fine in that same plug. Its been fine until today at work i rebooted and it dropped from 46% to 16 when booted back up. Other than that I'm getting great battery life. Anyone else experiencing anything like this ? Or know what could be causing it ? Any help would be appreciated.

Bad battery maybe, have you checked to see if it got moisture or if its really hot or bulging? If it seems fine I would start by flashing a stock rom after you can get it up to at least 50% and go from there.
I have AOKP milestone 6 running and have the same problem, what I did was just reboot the phone every time it got stuck at 6% while it was still plugged in and then it resolved itself. I also had the indicator stuck at 4% once too. Most likely the battery is still charging but the indicator just isn't working
Yeah that's what I did I just kept rebooting and it finally charged. But now all of a sudden its getting hot 2 days later

Gingerbread can fix that 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

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.

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.

I think it is supposed to float between 95% - 100% to avoid damaging the battery.

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.

Earlier I unplugged my fully charged note to watch Netflix. Well, after a while I noticed my battery dropped like 40 percent already which has never happened. Usually my battery drops about 10% every hour if I'm using it a lot. Well I just charged it up again and it still feels like it's dropping way faster than usual. What's even stranger is I just restarted it and went into battery and it says it's only been on the battery for 7mins and I'm down to 92 percent.. When I've had it unplugged for over 30mjnutes for sure. What's going on here?

Ok so I just restarted my phone again and the battery stats reset again.. Why is this happening?

Has anyone else had a problem where the battery stays at 100% until you reboot, then it shows the accurate level? It happened to me the very first time I booted it up (before rooting and flashing Cleanrom) and it's happened 3 or 4 more times since.
It's doing it now. Battery says 100%, even in bbstats. If I reboot, it will probably drop to somewhere in the 80s, since I've been using it a lot this morning.

This happened to me last week. I charged the tablet to 100% and it didn't change at all for like half an hour. After rebooting, it was around 90%. I'm not too worried about that though, since it only happened to me once. Sometimes when I plug the tablet into my laptop to transfer files, the battery status jumps to 100% again. It's annoying, but I work around it using the usb wall charger. Once I get a notification that the battery is full and to unplug, I think that it is an accurate reading again...

I agree, not a big deal. I just wanted to know if anyone else had encountered the issue. Maybe it will be fixed in a future update.

Hello everyone.
Past couple of weeks I have been having issues with my phone battery. No matter how much battery I have left when ever I play some game or edit photos my phone will all of sudden drop from 70%(or any given point) to 0% and switch off. At first I thought my battery was not calibrated so I drain to 0 and charge to 100 while it is off for couple of times but problem still occurs. Also when this happen my phone charge only upto 80% and stop charging until I unplug and plug back in order for it to charge100%.
Is there a way to fix it and how could I check if my battery is bad?

First, battery calibration is basically a placebo. It does nothing nowadays.
The whole thing about waiting a few days after installing a new rom or firmware so that the battery can "settle down" is real though, but is only because the new firmware will be doing a lot of background stuff and thus drain the battery more than usual.
Second, the only way to tell if your battery is bad is to try a new one. Unfortunately.
Based on your symptoms though, your battery is DEFINITELY bad. I'd recommend either sending the battery out for warranty, or buying a new one. Or both- you'll end up with 2 new batteries that you can swap out if you're a heavy user.
FYI Warning- apps that claim to scan and repair your battery are scams. There is no way to scan your battery. It isn't a harddrive.
Just thought I should warn you before you get desperate.

Been having similar issues with mine as well. My phone will show about 20% or more left in it, but then the phone ships down as if it was completely drained. When I plug it in, it will show the battery is dead. Also, like a little whole ago, it showed 25% left, but when I plugged it in, it went to 12%. It also continued to drop even while plugged in and showing it was charging. I did a battery pull, cleared the cache, then rebooted. It showed 18%, but only 23 minutes left to full charge. I did another battery pull, and it now shows 1 hour and 43 minutes left to full charge.
Like you, this has been going on for a few weeks now off & on.
I had problems a little while back (not as bad as these). Mine would die with the percent showing around 5-8% remaining. I took the battery out, held the power button for about 30 seconds, then continued normal use. I read somewhere that doing this somehow helps. I don't know if it's true or not, but now my phone doesn't die until it hits 0%, so something did change.
