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?

Mine too. Had Sprint send another phone, so I hope this battery life is better.
this is happening to me as well
happens to a lot of Android phones. I had 70% and flashed starburst 1.4 then started back up with 25%. WTF! ha.
Same here. Then once restarted and idle for a while, it increased by 5% or so. I'm rooted on with Midnight ROM and Zedomax overclock kernel
It's an error in the Android OS. The battery isn't losing 50% battery, it's only displaying that it is. You'll stick @ 1% life for awhile. lol
yah i got the same thing with the battery life.. it went from 70 to like 17.. then it went to 18.. thn 21.. and sat there for like 5 hours .. then wnt 20
last night i was out of town and phone was still 20% after full day. got los on the way home. did a quick reboot and got service back. upon rebooting the battery dropped to 3% and phone died in few minutes later... (>_<) WTF
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..
Nevermind... I'm Tired and thought you were talking about a different issue...
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 had the htc one for a couple days i noticed it can charge from around 5 percent to full within 1 hour-1hour-1/2. I just installed battery widget reborn and it states that it will be fully charged within 4 hours. I also read about the charging time being 4 hours also they covered that in a bunch of online video reviews. Is there some kind of software glitch that shows its fully charged but not really charged all the way?? just weird little thing to me.... thanks guys for any input...........
My phone doesn't take 4 hours to charge unless I'm running aosp. Then it will take around 4 hours.

I've calibrated my battery a couple times this month due to ROM and kernel updates and it takes just over 2hrs from zero. It has never taken 4 hours for me. Running Viper/Elite Lunar.
Battery calibration is a myth. In android once you hit 100% it deletes the batterystats.bin which makes the stats start over. When you do the calibration all you're doing is manually deleting that file which does nothing really. If your battery drops large amounts between a reboot or drains super fast it is probably a bad battery.

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.
