It seems that many people are having this issue...
I've noticed when using the new T-mobile MC6 4.1.2 roms
that when I take my phone off the charger showing 100%
it instantly drops to 96% or 97%
I own multiple batteries and have an external charger
when I charge externally it shows 100% correctly
even if I plug in charger and unplug it again will still show 100%
it seems the new roms are not allowing the battery to charge fully
let me know what you guys think...at same time I will keep testing and posting
Same here.

Ran into the same problem a month ago. I flashed my phone back to stock, re rooted my phone, and then ran a battery callibrater app. I got better battery life and a quicker recharge. Don't forget to fully discharge your battery and run the app again. I hope this helps and happy modding.
Try taking out the battery for a couple minutes then put it back in and fully recharge. Should recalibrate it.

So far I have swapped my battery out 2x with my external charger
both times rebooting into JMT JB it showed 100% properly both times
in the middle of the night last night I pulled the charger out when it said 100%
it dropped again immediately to 97%
I plugged it back in... when I woke up I unplugged it again stayed at 100%
15 min later still at 100%
I will try and install AOKP and see if the problem stops
it seems that the rom is reading the battery wrong
when I boot to recovery it shows different percentage
right now I am at 92% in JMT JB
when I go to recovery it say 95%
when I reboot back to rom it says 92% again
I went back to AOKP M1
and the better shows the same % in rom as in recovery...
going to keep trying diff things...
its gotta be the 4.1.2 T-mobile rom
You do realize you could edit a previous post instead of spamming your thread just to bump it.
As for your issue it seems to be a battery calibration problem...just let the ROM settle in and you'll be fine
Have you tried using gsam to see what your battery level is after you unplug it

thanx I appreciate your input... cheers m8
btw... after using AOKP and doing 2 charges...
the phone went back to reporting the 100%
correctly and didn't drop when when unplugged
I will also be testing my phone with official koodo/telus roms 4.1.2 based
to see if its just t-mobile 4.1.2 based roms with this problem
This should be me last post on this subject...
after trying the latest Koodo and Telus roms and charging my phone using them
the same glitch occurs when you pull out micro usb shows less than 100%
my conclusion... this issue seems to be on the stock 4.1.2 based roms only
and is not a significant issue...
if you want 100% just re-plug it back in for a little while... and fixed
hope these posts have helped to understand this silly little issue
cheers m8's

Everytime my phone reaches 10%, the phone will shut down itself and it won't turn on again.
i have tried bump charging and calibrating the battery but still without success... anyone got any soulutions other then buying a new battery?
thanks.
Try this: fully charge the phone then let the battery drain completely, until the phone shuts down. Plug the phone into the wall charger, let it charge for a minute or so then turn the phone on while still plugged into the charger and let it charge completely. After a full (100%) charge, the battery indicator should be precise.
I've noticed that if i restart the phone of plug it in after charging, the battery indicator will show an extra 10%, so that's the main reason for the shutdown at or a little below 10%.
This operation should be repeated once a month, just to keep the battery and the battery stats fresh.
Don't wipe battery stats and don't try any other calibration tweaks. They might damage the battery. There are some people here complaining about that.
If the phone still shuts down at 10% after the above-indicated trick, then your battery might be old and in need of replacing, but i wouldn't replace it just because of a 10% indicator error if it can still hold a proper charge.
I have the same problem. I also calibrated my batterie and everything but it still turns off at ~10%.
But since I know that, it's not really a problem
Its always turned off at ~15% for me. I accepted that this was normal. I've seen a lot of posts around but no one seems to of found a proper solution. I actually doubt that there is a proper solution to this.
Punched in..
snq's kernel? I take it is normal with it as none of the GB sense rom managed to come even near the 1-2%. A bug with the kernel probably.
Flashed Oxygen last week - bam, phone turns off at 1%. No calibration was needed even .
Every time this happens to me I charge it 100% then I reset battery stats. Then let it discharge threw normal use then give it a proper charge, plugged into wall charger, not PC.....! And once its 100% ignore green light check it says 100% on the top bar then I unplug. Its normally always sorted then. But I have had to repeat twice in the past.
I also agree about kernal, often after updates it goes bonkers, and I'm on miui, lots of updates

Mine also used to turn off at ~14%. After using a battery calibrator, i could push it down to 7%. However, on the other "side" of the scale, it goes down qute quickly from 100% to ~92%. All this on GV2.8, and the unofficial ManU kernel 2.1.1.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Just wipe battery stats in recovery after full discharge if you changed ROM, and then let it charge to 100%.
Used the battery calibrator app (for nexus one) with detailed instructions. Now batt lifeis awesome, turns off at 3%.

I'm on FB17 and my phone is getting really hot while charging is stuck at 99%. It's been like this for a couple hours. anyone know what's up?

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
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.

Pull your battery out after charging to 100. Wait a minute, put it back in, boot up, and then charge to 100 again. Repeat until you boot up to 100 then wipe battery stats and use until 1% battery.

Also might want to let it drain all the way.. then fully charge and try wiping battery stats in a cwm recovery..

will do..
Did the advice in this thread fix your problem? My phone just started doing a similar thing today while at work. I'm on CM9 A3, FD10 kernel and FD26 modem. I had my phone plugged in at my desk, it indicated it was at 100%, and then as soon as I unplugged it went down to 84%. I flashed back to EL26, rei-nstalled CM9 A3, and it's still doing it. It also will do it with the phone off. After it's plugged in for a matter of seconds, it jumps up to 100% and stops charging. As soon as it is unplugged, back down to the 80s.
the same thing happens to me every once in a while, pulling the battery seems to help

This! I have always done this when it has happened to me and it has always worked. I would recommend before flashing any new rom when you wipe everything else like cache and delvic and all that good stuff include wiping battery stats.
Thanks for the responses. It is apparently the charger that I had at work. I'm a little surprised that a charger would cause a phone to think it's charged all the way but I guess stranger things have happened.
Charging off usb seems to work the best, I was using an old blackberry charger that gave me similar issues. Now I only use samsung wall chargers.

Trust me a bad charger can cause a lot of problems. One time I was using a crappy lg charger and whenever I would plug my phone in it would say battery disconnected I was sure the phone was messed up took it to sprint they hooked it up to the Samsung charger it comes with it charged fine. They gave me a new charger and I have never had a problem since.
I am used to having my phone charge to 100% over night, and then when I unplug it it goes immediately to 99% This morning I had the blue LED notification to let me know I had a full charge. But when i took it off it said 60%, my first impression was whoa thats not right.
tbh im only running stock FF13 not even rooted.
Where is that 40% difference coming from?
thnx

maybe bad battery. is it bulged?
I dont think so, its a extended life battery. I was more looking to see if anybody else had an issue similar.
for the past week i've been having battery issues where the charging LED lights up, but the phone does NOT charge. or the phone says charging, then the light turns blue saying 100% but as soon as i remove the plug, the % drops to whatever the battery truely is at.
even when I go into about phone>battery, the time spent charging does not show that it has been charging. Also better battery stats does not seem to even show any processes being run...as if theres no battery stats to read from. also Gsam battery wont even calculate the average time left
my usb port works fine. i've used all different usb cables/chargers. i've wiped battery stats numerous times. ive done clean installs of ics and even tried going back to gb roms. issue reappears on BOTH oem batteries i have.
That's just one of those pesky ICS bugs that affects some phones and not others. I ran one Epic on the official ICS update for 4days and went back to gb before any bugs occurred, so I guess I was lucky not to have any aftereffects. It may clear with a custom Rom , you need to research the threads.
Good luck.

Never seen such odd charging cycles I can have my s2 on 3 % and plug into ac outlet and it will go to 29% for instance in 4 -5 minutes
yet immediately drain as fast as it charged
I didn't notice this on stock ota 4.0.4. until using jb 4.1.1ROMs
Any ideas ? I put a diff battery in same issues" this still doesn't explain the fast charge rate
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
I have seen that as well. I can sometimes go from 50% to 100% in 30 min. I think it is just a bug in JB. There is a JB Tweak file that I hope makes this more accurate. I loaded it day before yesterday, and I have not noticed any charging bugs. Exit Only says there are some battery scripts in there to help with drain, so we will see.
I would download battery calibration from the play store and go from there
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Yeah this is an knows issue with jb ROMs. My workaround is an external charger and several batteries. The other option is to just leave the phone on the charger longer. I think they will stay at 99% for a long time.
I've been running KingKang ROM as my DDr and it will charge fast but it takes awhile for me to go from 99 to 100. My battery drain is great and this helped me out as well.
