Okay, I currently run CM10, about a week ago I flashed another developers version of CM10, and started having battery percentage reporting issues while charging, So I flashed back to the original ROM, formatted, cleaned battery stats and for some reason the battery will charge up to like 75-80% and stop reporting the correct percentage until I reboot the phone, even when back on the old ROM, I am using simonssimons34 ION kernel, which running it before with the old ROM, reported fine, so I don't think it has anything to do with the kernel.
I have almost always let this battery deplete to about 1-2% before a charge, and never over charged it, so I am a little annoyed that my battery stats are mis-reporting now until I reboot. Is there any fix for this? Or do I need to try another ROM or something? It only reports incorrectly while recharging, it depletes normally and never has issues with that.
This happens to me every day. Learn to live with it.

You can clear battery stats in recovery. There's also a few root apps that let you do this. (search for clear battery stats)
It'll take a while for it to rebuild accurate battery stats, but it sounds like at the moment any fresh stats is better than what you have now.
You can try calibrate with this app:

I've laready tried as both of you have suggested before, and it hasn't helped me yet, I did it two ways I did battery wipe in recovery, and through a 3rd party app, but the phone still wants to stop reporting the correct percentage until I reboot my phone.
And I even tried letting hte phone completely deplete after wiping battery stats, and it's still wonky ='(.
Ugh this is soooo annoying ffs, anyone ever had any luck on fixing this issue? I've tried:
Flashing two different ROM's, nothing
Charging, rebooting wiping stats, calibrating, draining to 0, rebooting, nothing
Using calibration apps
None of this has worked for me what so ever, the only thing that seems to work is rebooting after the phone has stopped reporting then it will show 99% then charged.
What I don't get is it will charge to 100% if the phones off, but if it's on the phone reports an incorrect percentage, wth?
I am about to try a full RUU reflash and see if that will fix it, but that's a last resort. HELP PLEASE!

I have been using gingervillain for a few weeks now and just updated to 2.3. I have noticed a problem with the battery. When the battery runs down to 15% the phone powers down. After plugging in to charge the charging starts from 0%. I think the phone is misreading the battery stats (thinking there is 15% left when its actually empty). I have tried the battery calibration app but this doesn't solve the problem. Had anyone had this problem our know any solutions?
Cheers

You can wipe battery stats in recovery. They say its best to do it before flashing a rom, but worth a go for sure! The option is under "advanced" if I remember.
Cheers, will give that a try, I thought that was what the app I tried was supposed to do but will give it a go anyway. Thanks.
That seems to have done the trick. I wiped the stats in recovery them re flashed and it seems top have worked. Thanks for the help.

Hello all. Ever since I got my EVO, I've been experiencing random restarts, even before I was rooted. Right now, I am running CM7.1 and Tiamat from kernel manager, and I probably have to do about 8 restarts and 5 battery pulls a day, no matter how often I use the phone. For instance, today I woke up and had to do a battery pull because the screen would not turn on. The light was also still orange despite the battery being fully charged. I unplugged it at about 8 in the morning and by 10 with no use, I had to pull the battery again because the screen was frozen off once again. Once I got it back on, the battery was down to 80%. I tried using it and half the apps would force close immediately, so I restarted... You get the picture. Some roms have been better than others, and kernels don't seem to make any difference, and I figured it was about normal. Then, I installed what is supposed to be a really buggy CM7 on my touchpad, and have only had to restart it once in the past 2 days, which makes me question how stable my phone actually should be. Does it seem like I should take it in to sprint, or is my experience about normal?
I also never overclock because of my already poor battery life and have tried underclocking, but don't see any noticible difference
bump. should I post somewhere else?
Run an RUU but stay s-off for the moment and see if the problem persists. If your phone begins working properly, then you can flash a recovery and flash whatever rom you want - but don't restore your backup. I'd start totally fresh if RUUing fixes your problems, don't restore your apps and data, just download them from the Market as you need them.
If the RUU doesn't help and the problem continues, take it in to Sprint. It's up to you if you want to s-on before taking it in - I've never heard of anyone getting problems from Sprint with s-off but without root, but I think it's a general rule to do so.
I hope everything works out for you!

I have heard and seen on here many times that random reboots are caused by battery problems, and bad software installs. Try calibrating the battery, also use battery monitor widget to see what ur batt temps are. Then reinstall all your apps, do not restore them then see if that helps.

I'll try an RUU when I get enough time to do some thorough testing. I have reinstalled everything directly from the market multiple times since I've had the phone, and also have used a total of four batteries with no change in behavior. I Will try the RUU soon though. Thanks for the replies
Hi, i'm running Paranoid Android 2.52 and since the last 5 days or so I've me experiencing the two following situations: the battery is fully charged, i start using the phone and it discharges normally, but when I load a heavier app it just shuts down suddenly with a low battery warning. the other situation is when i connect the phone to the wall charger after this issue, it starts charging normally but then it just jumps right to 100% with the same speed that it went down. Already checked the usage statistics but cant seem to find whats causing this, the battery just goes down abruptly.
Thoughts, anyone?
Try a different rom.. I recommend a Gingerbread rom with a kernel that supports battery calibration like Oxygen Rom. If there is no improvement after using the rom, calibrate the battery with this guide. http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=723
If there is no difference, your battery is probably shot.
I've tried wiping the battery stats several times, re-flashing the rom, scripts and gapps, calibrating the battery and flashing rooted stock desire rom.
Is this method any diferent? I want to avoid moving to another rom if I can, i have tried several and i really like my current one.
EDIT: okey, I did as you suggested, flashed oxygen and followed the calibration steps. I was quite hard as the phone shut down as soon as the voltage level drop bellow 3201, but i managed. I experimented for a while on oxygen and the battery acted just the same as before. i have now reverted to jb, this time on AOKP v2.1. Is my battery ready for a replacement?
Im having a sudden battery issue with my G2 that started about 2 weeks ago. Im currently running 2.3.4 and have been for a while now. When using my phone at near full charge, it randomly shuts down. When it restarts it states I have less than 2% power and the red "x" is at the top. A few seconds later it shuts down again as it if it has no power. The only way to correct this is to remove the battery completely and reboot. Once I reboot, the battery level goes back to a normal state or it will read somewhere near 50%. Ive also noticed the following: the battery will charge VERY slowly. Sometimes overnight it still won't say fully charged. I've done the following to try to fix:
1. I replaced the battery with a brand new one. Same issues right off the bat.
2. Wiped my phone and reinstalled.
3. Checked to see if any APP was draining the battery or causing the issue. None are!
I've seen this issue reported by other G2 users on the Tmobile Support forum and none of them have gotten any solid results. I've browsed this forum some and couldn't find it either, unless i missed it.
Any help is appreciated!

Power down and charge 'til it thinks it's fully charged (should be a green light). If it doesn't show a green light (like you said, it won't fully charge), just leave it charge for a while (overnight would be good). Boot into recovery, either by booting Android + rebooting recovery or by rebooting recovery through bootloader, go to advanced and select wipe battery stats... I think CWM 5 still has this option (don't know about 4EXT)
zeppelinrox has a battery calibrator script which is useful and can automatically delete battery stats once fully charged... I can't find it though. I'll attach / PM it if you need it.
BTW I'm not sure if this is the problem, it could be hardware related. I'd try it though, it might help.
If all else fails and you're sure it's not a hardware problem, I'd do a factory reset and /or reflash ROM.

Thanks for the tip. I had already deleted the battery stats bin file from the system and rebooted and received the same results (assume thats what your fix does). I've also reinstalled the rom and had no issues. Ive done searches and found that SEVERAL other people with the G2 had this issue. Kind of surprised it hasnt yet been addressed on this forum. Back in 2011 Tmobile was asking for people to volunteer some info in order to fix it. Apparently nothing was ever done and when i call in (several times), no one seems to know what im talking about even when i point them in the direction of their own forums. I'm really at a loss and don't feel like paying out the a$$ for a new phone when I know this is not something I did.
I've been having some strange battery issues.
TLDR: Phone battery drains and warms up when in use, but not when in sleep. Resetting batterystats doesn't fix it. Closing all processes doesn't fix it. It does it on a bunch of ROMs, which were always clean installed. The usual battery saving tricks do nothing.
More detailed:
Basically, whenever I use my S3, I get a considerable amount of battery drain. I used to have fantastic battery life when I was running LiquidSmooth RC5, where I was capable of 4-6 hours of screen time in a day. Now I can only get 2 or less hours of screen time in a single charge. This seemed to start after flashing LiquidSmooth RC8, but I also have the same issue in LiquidSmooth RC9, LiquidSmooth 4.2 beta, Task & Ktoonsez 4.1, Task & Ktoonsez 4.2, Slimbean, and Cynagenmod 10/10.1. So I don't think it is my ROM.
Anyways, so the battery drain only seems to happen when the phone is in use. During that time, the bottom of the phone around where the CPU is located gets considerably warm after just a few minutes of use. Otherwise, when the phone is locked, it deepsleeps fine with no drain. It still does it even when I go through my entire process list (and cached process list) and stop everything, it doesn't help. I've tried the whole batterystats reset where I charged to 100, drained, then charged to 100. That didn't help. I do make sure to clean install my ROMS, including clearing user data, cache, dalvik cache, and formatting my /system. When I look at my battery usage, it usually seems to be Android System using my battery the most. It can also be Android OS, Google Services, and Media sometimes. I've tried a ton of fixes, nothing helps. And of course it still does it with WiFi, data, GPS and all that off.
Help would be appreciated
battery life is an issue with many different factors.. there can be a bad app, bad battery, bad rom, anything really. if your phone is having issues then maybe 4.2 isn't the best for your phone there are many different roms to choose from and many are very stable.
Running 4.2 isn't the issue, though. It does it on 4.1 ROMs too. I'm not even on a 4.2 ROM right now.
Sounds like a rogue app or widget draining it. Get better battery stats. Type it in xda search. That will tell you for sure what exactly is draining the battery. Good luck.
Maybe your battery is just shot and its time for a new one

No, all these guys are wrong. Your phone is shot. I did everything you did. Better Battery Stats, calibrated battery, changed battery, changed SIM card, all radios shut off like data, GPS, Bluetooth, et cetera, no rogue apps, deep sleep according to BBS. You name it, I done it. And no one knows why our phones are doing this.

Except two of my friends that have S3s have the same issue, as well as another friend with an S2. I don't think all of our phones are defective.
