[Q] battery problem - drains then jumps to over 50pct when plugged in - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

As per title. Battery will drain .... Quickly !!! Then when I plug in to charge it instantly changes to over 50% charged. It will then charge to 100 (which I guess is actually less than 50% in reality).
I have tried various ROMs. I believe the battery is empty, just don't understand the instant reading of over 50% ??

I would assume the battery is done for. But I would try to drain battery boot into recovery And wipe battery stats. I've heard wiping the stats doesn't ddo anything useful..but its worth a shot.

Thanks. I was going to try resetting the stats but so many people say that does nothing .,... Have tried flashing 4.3 and will see if that kick starts the battery again.

Let us know how it goes, I've noticed my stock battery lasts about the same amount of time as my extended because I've used my extended the whole time I've had this phone. Good luck: 4.3 is slick

A full wipe and flash to 4.3 has managed to clear it.... Next dilemma though I've been offered a 4 month early upgrade to an s4 ..... With the x phone disappointing (IMHO) I'm not sure what else is worth waiting for

About the Battery Calibration App

Is it a good idea to use this to calibrate my batt now that I have so much stuff running in my handset?
Seems like it's better to do a calibration when freshly flashed

that's what i'd recommend you. battery stats easily get f***ed up after flashing. just get battery calibration or wipe battery stats in cwm. you will see results after 2 or 3 days. u have to do that everytime u flash tho...

Thanks, I was just wondering though, is it ok to battery calibrate halfway through using the phone?
I hard-resetted the phone upon getting it. Does this f***k up the stats? I didn't flash new ROM. Just CF rooted, that's all

[Q] sgh t989 bombaridier horrible battery life

I flashed bombaridier to my phone and apparently something is very wrong. Battery down to 75% on standby for 2 hours. This can't be right. i'm not blaming the ROM, I think its great! Just wondering if anyone has any experience with what my problem could be. Thanks!

My battery life was that bad no matter what I flashed. Then finally I stuck with a rom (stock) and slowly it started getting better. Took like a weekafter calibrating, but now I can do 20 hours with no changes (all stock 40% brightness autosync on). My advice: stick with a rom Amd wait it out. Battery should get batter everyday.

Remember to wipe
Cache/ Partition
Factory Reset
FLASH
THEN wipe DALVIK CACHE after you flash.
You must must do a factory reset. Bombadier doesn't work correctly without it.
I never had to calibrate the battery if I did the steps above.
Bombabidier gets me 20-30 hours of heavy use.
and Poster #2 is correct. You have to wait it out at least 3 days of use before you see any steady battery #s.

I'm having good battery results with Bombardier. I first tried Beastmod and it was bad for me. In standby it was draining 10% per hour doing nothing.
With Bombardier it barely goes down 1% in an hour or two in standby. 40 minutes on the phone went from 71 to 69%.

Hey thanks. After doing that I instantly have better results. Must have missed a step when I first flashed it. Whatever was wrong is gone now. Also my whole phone was getting really warm too. way warmer than usual but after redoing these steps, everything seems back to normal. Thanks again!
Now I'll wait it out and cross my fingers that it gets even better. Thanks everybody for such quick responses!
try different rom/kernel? i had really bad battery life with the stock kernel
currently running jug rom/bullet kernel, getting really good battery life
Hey jmcustomsim getting bad battery too and im running bombraider with fauxs stock kernel... I lose a percent in less then 5 minutes
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
At least i'm not alone in this. I'll work on my patience for two more days and see if it improves. After that maybe flash new kernel.
Hey.. Just following up. How is Your battery now? I switched to Juggernaut and I am getting about 5 hours with heavy usage... Using Slacker radio, 4g, surfing, using apps, watching with dice player and all...

It's that kernel Imo. It was eating my battery alive too, so I went back to the stock kernel.

Deebo took your bike too?
Well a4 moda and shehrammajid said be patient and wait it out, so I did. They were right so thanks! And thanks to everyone else for their input and quick replies. With moderate usage my battery got to the point where it lasted almost 2 full days. thanks again everyone!

[HELP] Erratic Battery Behavior.

Okay, is it possible my battery for my One V is already going bad only 5 months into owning it? Over the past 2-3 weeks my battery has NEVER reached a full 100% charge unless I reboot it, otherwise it get's stuck at a certain percentage until a reboot. Then about 2 days ago I started to notice severe battery drain with incorrect percentage reading, my phone would literally lose like 5% every 30 minutes. And it would drain to 0 really fast but when I reboot it owuld only be a like 50%, then it would drain real fast again, i'd reboot and it may be at 40%, and this is continuing to happen.
So is my battery just going bad?
If u are rooted,wipe battery stats in recovery..... It might help.... And also, if rooted, which rom are u using.....????+ check your overclock....
I have tried battery wiping, it hasn't helped, I am using Code Fire X and I am OC'ed but i run it on SavageZen so it's almost always underclocked.
PrimoC????
Ask the rom developer about it then.... He might be able to help u bettet...

first wipe your battery stats from recovery and wipe dalvik cache then install battery calibration and charge the battery up to 100% then let it go until it become show zero % remaining then charge your battery and check the performance
You must be joking. The issue is with misplacement of battery. Remove the battery somehow and wipe the contacts and replace it

Remove battery???? i guess We can't!!!! Its inbuilt....:what::what:
Simon has said that he's still working on getting the battery kernel modules working correctly on the CFX ROM. I would probably try a different JB ROM to see if it's really your battery, or just the ROM.
It's a 4.2.2 update there is got be bugs....so u have to manage for a while

pacman rom

Hey guys I'm kind of new to the rom world and let me say i LOVE IT. So much stuff you can do with the android. I'm on a i747 galaxy s3 and I've just downloaded the Pacman rom.I've downloaded other roms so i know i flashed this one correctly. I even re flashed it again last night. Both yesterday and tonight my battery went to 100%-%50 in one hour. After i charged it up it would decline 20 percent in one hour. I look at the time screen time on and to see if anything is waking up my phone excessively. And all sings say to no. Any tips? I feel like I'm back in pre ics days haha.

when you flash a new ROM it is recommended to wipe Cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset and System. If you've done that you should be okay with the installation portion.
Have you modified the kernel at all, have you over clocked anything?
Go to the play store and download BetterBatteryStats. This will help you determine the cause.

Yeah i have. When i installed i did the whole wipe thing. And I'm useing gsm batter monitor. All the readings are normal which is the weird part to me. And no i haven't over clocked (No need to imo) and haven't modified the kernel. I know that on previous androids you would have to do a wipe batter stats. I actually tried looking for that in CMW but i wasn't able to find it. Would you have to wipe the battery stats using "batter calibration" or wiping it manually in CMW? Or is that even necessary for galaxy s3s?

I would also recommend using Better Battery Stats as it is the best one I think. I always use the battery calibration app after I flash a new ROM. It usually takes a couple days or so anyways to have the new ROM settle in and everything. After a couple days you should see your battery life where it should be and not draining so fast depending on what your settings are.
Battery calibration is a myth and has been confirmed by Google themselves. Its all over the forum and wholly unnecessary. Those apps are useless. The only way to truly let your battery stats "calibrate" is to let the ROM and kernel settle into the phone after a few charge cycles.
Here's the Google+ discussion by one of Google's people: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
If you want to keep "calibrating" your battery for the warm and fuzzies, its your time and device.

Wow thats interesting. Everywhere i go people say that battery calibration is a necessary part when switching roms. Just out of curiosity what do you do for better battery life ? Basically what you use and not use settings wise.

Everyone's battery life varies. Honestly, it doesn't matter the ROM. The kernel does play a part in it but its how YOU use the phone, display brightness, sync, etc. Way too many factors.
As for me, I get about the same life on most ROM's I use after letting the phone settle for a few days. The only constant I have is the kernel I use which is in my signature. Lately, I've settled on one ROM as the dev is on top of his game with this device. That ROM is also in my sig.

Abnormal battery drain

After installing lollipop OTA, I experienced battery drain, so I did a factory reset and the battery was better than ever. Now recently, for the past 3 days, the battery is awful. Doesn't even keep a charge for like 5 hours. Look at the screenshot. I am fed up of always doing factory resets, and I barely have any apps installed. This isn't normal. I have an SD card, I tried removing it for a day and I still experienced the same battery drain.
Gsam / WLD / BBS?
Providing us your version will also help, you might be using a version that had a battery bug in it

I find battery life unstable too on all Lollipop versions from D to H. Test versions had much better battery life.
I also tried greenifying apps that wake my phone often, but still I see percentage drop even when I don't use the phone. I barely use phone thourghout the day (30mins-1hour on screen time in the end of the day) and I am left with 70% before going to sleep.
Try doing a CSE flash via FlashTool versus doing a factory reset. See if that helps.
