Battery issue after charge

My battery goes from 100% to 66% right after pulling the cord when it finishes charging. How do I fix this?

Try booting into CWM and clear battery stats, restart your phone, run your phone until the battery is so low it shuts off. Then plug the phone in, turn it on, put it in airplane mode and let it charge to 100%.
At thus point use it as normal but let the battery die one or two more times before charging it again. This should give your phone a nice solid calibration.
Good luck!

Just to add on to that one idea would be pull the batt. Five minutes should do it...when u restart what it reads will be "true". Some Roms have battery saving scripts and when you switch they take a min to go away while dalvik resets...leading to a rude awakening...lol

Gonna give my input. I was having a similiar problem. Battery draining like crazy. Dropping from 99 to 80 in like 30 mins of use. Finally got fed up and decided to go to a sprint repair and service center. Turns out the battery was shot to hell. Bloated. So they gave me a OG epic battery for the mean time and ordered me a new oem one. Free of charge with TEP Picking it up tuesday. Been using this OG epic battery and altough it does have less capacity it defiantly is draining more slowely. So try it out have them inspect yours.

I agree with "rwilco12"

This worked for me...

I'll try these suggestions. Thanks!

Guys
I have been having the same problem and try lots of things but what I did not try and just found out is that my phone has a 1500mHa instead off a 1800mHa Sprint store made a mistake and placed the wrong battery inside my phone.
Maybe some of the problems you guys are having is due to that fact.
Besides opening the phone there are several app that will actually tell you which battery you have I.E. Battery Monitor

I just downloaded that battery monitor and it said I have a 1500MAH battery too so I called sprint went down and got a new battery and when I opened my phone to put the new one in it turns out the one I have is a 1800 so I would not put much stock into what that Battery Monitor app says but hell I just got a free spare battery so it was still a win!

That app is set to 1500 by default. However, I do remember seeing a thread here and on AC about several of our phones that were shipped with the 1500 battery by mistake

I have 1800 and the method with the airplane mode worked

Battery Reading is messed up

So after the pass couple of months I've been getting battery drains, for example losing 1% after 5 minutes while on standby and had to charge every night
Last night I was out for a long long time and the battery drained with normal usage until I hit 18% (with about 14 hours off the charger) and it stayed there for quite a while. I was sending texts, outputing music in my car,using the GPS/Maps and the battery stayed at 18%. Was using data and brightness was around 25%.
I've been wiping battery stats every week, I don't know why but I got in the habit after this battery drain issue.
Is there any way to fix this? Probably not :S

Wish I knew, man. My PLAY stays on 100% for a REALLY long time, then drops much more quickly once it finally gets to 99%

That's happening right now actually. It's at 100% and suddenly it's already at 97%

Battery drained all the top 16% and the next time I woke it up, it went back to 18%, this is so weird!
Sent from Xperia PLAY running Gin2JellyBean

all your claims happen to me, too. and i think they're normal.

I would suggest 2 things.
Stop wiping the stats first. You dont need to do this anymore. Your stats level out tge more it is used. Just do full charge/discharge for a week.
Second would be to look for a rogue app running in the background.

happen to me after restoring from nandroid backup, battery is not discharging, it charging instead, even when i didn't plugged it to ac adapter,
fixed the problem after wiping battery stats & re-calibrate battery by totally drain it and full-re-charge after. Also defined battery capacity using Battery Widget,

Mine stays at 100% for a long time too, then drains fast till around 90% and work ok after that i guess.

Mine doesn't even charge It always stays below 10% When it's plugged it, there's a solid red LED (not flashing)

I think the battery ie 20% n after u left it, it move a bit say 23%, that is coz of the oc'd u've been doing. Each frequency hav diff volt. So the more u use the more it pulls. And when u finally let it down the un-wanted un-necessary volt is return back to the batt. So its normal. Its like a rubber bend or something similar. More tension means more power, when there's less tension it revert back to its form with a bit lost of physicality. Hope y'all understand what i'm getting at. The phone batt indicator is correct. U should always watch ur oc frequency. Hope thats explains everything

When plugged in,it goes back n forth from discharging and charging.

Your charging port could be spoiled. Not sure though, u need to test it yourself..

Batt stats has nothing to do with % display. Only usage info is stored in batt stat.

Fair enough but its all in your head. It's just not how it works. All batt stats is for is the battery usage window.

[Solved] Battery will not chare to full

Hey my Samsung GS3 will not charge to 100%. It usually stops around 90% on the stock charger. I'm not sure if it happened when flashing a ROM or Kernel (I think it was when I flashed Faux kernel but not 100% sure) but has been ongoing for over a week now. Even when the phone is turned off and shows the battery charging animation It still only goes to about 90%.
I occasionally use some extra batteries that I got off ebay (they say Samsung and look like Samsung however they are knock offs that last about half the time) but I read that you do not need to clear battery stats on Samsung phones.
Any ideas? It isn't the biggest issue, just annoying when trying to see if the phone is fully charged.
Thanks!

Turn your phone off. Charge to 100%. Reboot and calibrate your battery. Bunch of apps on market. I personally use "battery calibration". Ironic huh?

Just tried this and I can't calibrate it because your battery has to be charged to 100% and mine only goes up to 90ish. Unless I missed something in the app...

any ideas?
Edit... There were 2 battery calibration apps with the same name. One has to be at 100% where as the other can do it either way. Downloaded the proper one and all is well thanks!

Doesnt have to be 100 to calibrate

Battery Issues

I started running into some battery issues earlier today. I was on AOKP without any issues and one day the battery just started draining very fast. I went from about 50% to 15% in a matter of an hour. That night I slept with my phone charging and it did to get charged passd 54%. And it's charging very slow too. I thought it might be the ROM so I flashed Slim Bean. But it is not heling at all.
Anyone have anything similar going on?
What can I do?

Try calibrating the battery and go like 2-3 charge to discharge and see what its like afterwards

Will do. I'll post back

Yea it takes a few rundowns to get into the sweet spot, I thought I was getting horrible battery life till someone suggested that to me now I get about 32-33 hrs on a charge. Which I think is about prefect, I don't game on it I just use everything else all the time. I have ps3, xbox360 & psp for gaming
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

Well it's been charging for about 6 hours now and it won't get past 54%

I let it charge all night and when I woke up it was finally at 100%. I left for class and unplugged my phone at 7:40. 20 minutes later it was down to 47%. Then another 2 hours later, it was at 11%. Obviously it is draining far too fast. Will AT&T replace my battery? Or does it look like I'm gonna have to buy a new one?

What I normally do is charge it to 100% then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot and don't unplug the phone until it again says that the battery is full. Then run with it and see if it helps.

Go ask them I don't see why they wouldn't replace the battery, it does sound like its shot that kind of drain isn't normal at all
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium

I had the same issues with not getting to 100%. Seems like leaving it on the charger for another couple hours (overnight) got it there.

So I went to the AT&T service shop yesterday and she took my battery and put it in a different Galaxy S III and it showed the battery was charged 97%. In my phone, it showed 23%. She told me that it had somthing to do with my phone being rooted. She said the software on my phone was being "tricked" into believing that the battery is a lot less full than it actually is. She told me to unroot my phone and flash it back to stock. So I did that yesterday and it is still no better. I don't know what to try.

Wiping battery stats doesn't help battery life... Something i learned a long time ago with my X10

My Android system is almost always under 15%. Seeing it that high is alarming. I assume you've tried full wiping and changing ROMs?

Yep. I must've flashed my phone to stock at least 10 times now. Ive tried rooting and Unrooting, clearing my flash counter, I really don't know what else to do.

Thought I'd try installing CM10 just to see if there would be any difference. Screen Brightness shows up as my highest percentage on the battery usage and Android System is much lower on the list, but the battery is still not charging or discharging correctly.

I would unroot and take everything back to stock, then go back to the AT&T store you went to before and show another service rep that the phone is messed up and see if they give you another one.
Good luck

mrb1946,
Even though your S3 is reporting percentage values as you stated....the PHYSICAL battery did not drain from a real 100% to a real 47% in 20 minutes. It can't actually physically drain that fast. It would be on FIRE! So, either the calibration of the rom/software or the battery itself somehow messed up.
Also, during that time...was the battery/S3 HOT? That physical evidence would account for some of the drain if it's coming from a rogue app or misbehaving rom component. Did you post a battery drain graph? And were you monitoring the cpu activity during these high drain periods? I mean...periodic checks to see if your CPU is stuck on HIGH freq and if you have any wakelocks shown under the battery graph.

If this problem is still occurring, here's a thread explaining a possible drain from android system. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827087&highlight=android+system

how long does it take you to charge your battery?

mine usually takes 3 hours.
the thing is if i touch it and turn the screen on and use it for awhile, i notice that my battery % isnt going up. it just stays to the % where i start using it, even for 30 mins.

I read your thread earlier and let my phone shut down by itself then charge it while it is turned on and most of the time DayDream is also on. It is about 1 hour and 50 minutes to be fully charged. I do not remember it ever exceeded 2 hours unless I am playing a heavy game while charging.
I am running my own AOSP ROM and trinity kernel alpha 7.
A similar thing happened with me when I had my S II. The percentage holds and does not increase, but if I reboot the phone then it shows that it was really charging. For example if it stopped on 45% for some time, then after reboot it may show something like 75% immediately. I think it was a ROM or kernel problem, so try another combination and see if your problem is fixed.
Hope this helps

Sorry I don't get your point.
As I mentioned, my problem was related to ROM and kernel on my S II, so maybe you would like to use another ROM and kernel then check if this problem is fixed

If you do a full wipe (system, factory reset, cache, and dalvik) and install a fresh ROM, does the slow charging and inaccurate percentage exist as well?

Is it a problem with the charger? If it's a third-party charger, maybe it doesn't deliver enough juice. If it's the mfg's charger that came with the phone then maybe it's dying on you.

Doesn't anybody use math? The stock battery (1750mah) will charge in just under 2 hours on a 1A wall charger assuming you leave it alone to charge.
