Hi guys,
So recently I started noticing that when my phone has been fully charged, it would say 100%. But when I unplug it, it says 98%.
Is there a problem with my battery? Do I need to delete my battery stats file or something? I'm running stock battery.
Also I've noticed this across different ROMs.
Thanks

It's not your battery. Happens to me too.
My phone is a week old and does it also.

i think that it has to do with the roms lately and battery stats has nothing to do with it and battery calibration wont solve the problem either
has to be rom based
Not sure about 4.2.2 roms, but its been a known bug on 4.1.2 since official jb came out, and is on roms based off it o believe!
Nothing we can do....yet.

Thanks for the feedback guys Glad its not a problem with the hardware

Ok so I have flashed a few roms and now my battery seems like its on a drain suicide mission. I used the same Rom for a week had great battery life with sinister Rom tried cm7 and flashed back to sinister for example my phone has been off the charger less than 10 minutes and its drained 11 percent already.
What's going on? It was so stable.

Search the word battery calibration.
I found switching to sense and aosp a lot messes with the battery stats

Look for viperboys rom in e3d dev. There is battery calibration info in there that I just tried. It takes about 3 cycles to complete but worth it.
Support TrevE !
Well now I'm getting random reboots too I think I just might go to my first nandroid right after I rooted my phone and start over

So my battery life is just not good, I'm wondering if there is something I'm doing wrong or not doing.... but even when the phone is off it loses battery life really quick.
Is there maybe something I'm missing or need to do?

Happens to me too...I tried calibrator apps and still no luck i actually left cm9 last night and to rujelus22 it was good but ended up running into problems but maybe you should try flashing a different rom or charge your phone fully then reflash cm9 let the battery drain all the way then charge it again fully...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Yeah I wasn't sure if there is some setting I can change, might just end up getting the bigger battery like I did my Evo and call it a day! Other then that I love my cm9
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Hey, I would try to flash an updated kernel for the cm9 alpha 3. Alpha3 comes with FD10 and I found that it made the Android OS drain my battery faster than it should. With FD26 the Android OS drain on my battery has been much lower. However, from what I hear which kernel works best varies on the phone, so I would try a couple others.
Hey guys... I have a problem with my battery.. started about three days ago.. I haven't flashed or changed anything in my rom at the time... I was running blazer's ginger bread and I love it.. anyway.. the battery shows that it's charging even when it's not.. the notification light is on and the battery icon shows the little lighting bolt... the battery dies fast and nothing seems to help.. I reflashed blazer(wiped everything with calk's mod).. still like that.. wiped it again and went back to stock... still messed up.. I'm thinking maybe my battery is shot... what are your opinions...

Try odining back to EL29 so you have a clean slate then flash the blazer rom. That should fix your issues.

I flashed calks 1.6 the other day and noticed big battery drain. I reflashed today just to make sure. Drains about 20% an hour in my pocket. As soon as I start using it, it drains so fast i can watch the percent countdown lol. It dropped 20% posting this. Its also charging weird. When I plugged it in it was at 65% and in 20 min it was full. This is very odd because I used this rom many times and it had great battery life. Anyone else experience anything like this on their E4GT ?

Must be a bad battery, how long have you have your battery? also have you removed battery stats?
Try using phone at maxxed out power until it drops to 0% then recharge battery until full, I recommend overnight.
And get back to me...
I don't think its the battery unless it went bad overnight lol. It was fine the other day. Something weird happened a few weeks ago i dont know if it has anything to do with this but I flashed a rom that I had flashed before many times (phantoms blazer ics) and it aborted the install. I reset my phone with sfhubs one-click , formatted it,
And tried flashing a new rom and same thing. I posted about it in Q&A and no one really helped out too much. I tried everything new downloads, new kernels you name it I tried it. And it still happened, everything I tried, to flash got aborted on el26. It was so odd cause it was doing it to old downloaded roms and the el26 I've been using since ics . I could flash a gb rom in el29 but as soon as a flashed el26 and tried flashing something it would happen again. The only thing that would flash successfully is calks format all (every time)So I got frustrated, and i stayed on stock rooted el29 for a week or 2 since no one would help. The other day I figured id try again off a fresh reset and new downloads, and it went fine, I flashed a few roms but decided to go back to calks 1.6 . And now the battery issue ? Should I wipe battery stats? I don't really know what that does. Btw I reflashed and it didn't solve anything, still draining. I will try running it down and charging overnight. Any other suggestions?

Btw I've had this phone with the same battery for about 5 months now
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Did you flash back to gb ?
Or flash another Rom but imo its probably due to an app installed that's not ready for ics
only thing I can think of is I downloaded the T.5.3.0.32 VVM for ICS. The one I downloaded is supposed to safe for ICS. You think that could be draining my battery?

Time to upgrade to a released rom....
Calk's 1.6 is based on old, unreleased code and isn't supported. Calkulin has moved on and no longer dev'ing for this phone.
I would like to but I liked that rom for its stability and battery life, but my question is why is my battery life bad now. Ive ran this same rom (same download) before and it was great. Why the bad battery life all of a sudden?

Hey xda community,
I'm dealing with a serious problem
So i'm using my galaxy s3 (SGH-I747M running Liquidsmooth JB 4.2.2) and im dealing with this strange issue when I'm using it. it is actually losing charge while im plugging it into the wall charger, and it is getting very hot. im not even doing anything but writing this. im guessing because of me over clocking /undervolting the cpu. right now im at 6 percent and i even reduced the cpu speed to 300-something mHz using the utility the rom came with. please i really need help on this and i really need a fix.

Thanks for the reply,
Im using the stock galaxy s3 charger, but the charging process is either very slow, or its losing charge while charging. I believe the charging method is the most powerful atm in my household, the apple ones suck and my computer is worse than the wall charger. The phone is still hot, but i changed the frequencies to the original configuration. it helped, but not by much.

install battery stats app and find out what app is hogging the resources in the background, and get rid of it.
this happened to me when i installed xbmc and enabled the dlna service by accident and it kept running even after the program was closed.

Nope, still losing battery. You could link me the .apk file if you are talking about something else. Can anybody else tell me how I could restore previous cpu frequency and governor configurations prior to overclocking/undervolting?

ok for sure partly its the chargers fault because the wire itself has been bent along where the connector is, because i was using the phone without the charger and im gettting results before the overclock. could you tell me the governor and schedule for the cpu? thanks.
BTW, if i shut down the phone, it will charge, but a bit slower than before. AND, could anybody tell me if wiping batterystats.info will be any good?

I have a friend on stock that went through the same thing because his charger was damaged. As soon as he got a new one all problems were solved. Try Amazon for decently priced chargers

BBS is always good to have, but not in your situation. You have a bad charger. Here is the BBS XDA free version thread:

Wiping the battery stats will do nothing for your issue.
In Performance, stock Samsung is Min CPU 384Mhz, Max CPU 1512Mhz, and OnDemand / Deadline I believe. It may be Interactive / Deadline.
I use Asswax / Row

UPDATE: ok this is bulls***. i wake up to find my phone to be at 5 percent. it must be the charger. i have no understanding why this is happening. ive only had this phone since april and its doing this. is there any original cpu configs and charger configs?
