A weird battery problem - Instant 50% - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was on root 4.1.2 and I removed it to upgrade to 4.3
Usually I drain my battery to 10% or so and then turn off my phone to charge it to full at least once a month. This time around it was different, the moment I plug in the charger the battery charge indicator jumps to 50% or so.
I unplugged it and turned on my phone and the % on the battery was 50%.
What was also weird was that the battery lasted as would at 50%
and it has been like that ever since as long as I charge my phone when turned off.
Charging with phone on isn't a problem.

Charging problem! slow or no charge..

ok, over the last week or so ive had this issue, gradually getting worse...
my battery will charge to around 40-45% and then charging will slow right down.
two hours later, it will be on around 50% if im lucky, and about 3 more further hours before i hit 60% (this is some of the time, other times, it just remains on its current charge%)
if i leave it overnight for about 10hours or so, highest it goes to now is about 73%, but this is rare, usually 45-50%ish.
ive tested with htc ac wall charger, htc usb, blackberry charger, car charger and a random microusb wallcharger. all have same issue.
when tested with two friends desire hd's on different days, my battery charged perfectly, and at the normal gradient speed over the % range. and my phone reads it correctly at the 100%-98% when back in my phone after change back.
i thought it was down to my phone, just dont know if its rom or hardware. shud i factory restore, or claim on insurance?
i have another issue here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18480603&posted=1#post18480603
which also applies to the question of restore or insurance...
thanks
What Rom are you using, i am using runny 2.2 only 62% charge in 6 hours
9 hours later on battery only upto 68% i have amazing battery life now
i'm using runny 2.2.....left it on charge for 2 hours with phone on, but wifi and everything off and it had only gone up 2% ! !
Turned phone off and plugged in charger, 30 mins later, only went up 1% ! !
72% charge at this point.
So took it off charge, put it in my pocket, went upstairs to bed, turned it on to set alarm and it said 100% on battery....weird!!

Lol this is an issue with calibration. The battery is charging but the software doesnt report it.
You have to charge the phone for as long as possible so you know it is on 100% whether the software says it or not, go into CWM, wipe the battery stats and then let the battery drain fully until it shuts down by itself. Then plug it in and leave it until you know for certain it is at 100%. If the green light comes on leave it for an additional half an hour. Then it will be fixed.
ive only recently got this handset, as last one was replaced on insurance a month or so ago, and its runuing on stock rom with latest updates....?

4200mAh and 82% charge ? wtf?

my battery used to charge good. yes i have done the battery calibration. but when i kill my phone to 1% battery and then plug it in and get it charge straight through i notice it reaches 4200mAh at about 80% charge which is actually 100% full. anyway i can fix this? im on Start Burst 1.9.5 with 1.0.0.8 LostKernel
EDIT- I I turned my phone off and used the charger that came with the phone and did a full charge with the phone off and when I turned phone on it was at 4182mAh ( which is close enough to full ) and showing 99%. I hit the callinrate button right away. Hopefully after this drain the next charging cycle will associate 4200Mah as 100% charged. Uh damn confusing techknology

Battery Issues (calibration?)

Hey XDA, I just purchased a new AT&T SGS3 and I'm having some issues with the battery on the phone.
When I charge the phone overnight it charges to 100% then when I unplug it, the battery drops tremendously in about 5 seconds down to anywhere from 50%-75%. I tried manually recalibrating the battery by charging it 8+ hours, removing the battery, charging again while off, charging it again while on, then restarting. That seemed to work for one charge and the battery acted the way that it would have on my Nexus S.
However charging it again after a full battery drain, the same thing happened.
Also when the phone is low on battery, it displays the normal battery messages, but then the screen stays on, draining the battery faster.
Solutions? I want the root the phone, but only after I have these issues sorted out. (I'm still under warranty right now)

Did you try a reset of the phone through the settings ? After that try charging to 100% then drain completely and then recharging without break then use the phone mormally and try to recharge only when it hits 10% remaining for the next 2 or 3 charge cycles and see if that helps

It sounds very much like this:

I replaced the battery and it's been working well for a few months now.
Battery drop from 50 % to 0 %
I had the same issue.
After force shut down (power + vol-up for 10 sec), the battery went back to normal.

EDIT :
That was a short lifesaver, battery is "fubar".
Guys , maybe there's something wrong with the battery charging in Amami . I have two Z1C, one of which normally charge up to 100 %. But the other charges the battery to 100% only in Stock 4.4.4 ... In all versions of Lollipop (stock or not) battery charges to 82% ... Calibration of the battery does not help. I replaced the battery - no change. I tried another powerful charger by Samsung - without effect. Anybody have an idea what's going on ?

Big battery drain from last night

Hello.I have htc 10 from year and 4months.Never had a problems with the battery before.Usually i charge it to 100% before i go to sleep and in the night without using the phone have 93-94% in the morning when i wake up.But this morning i woke up and saw 25% 75% battery drain without using.Every time after when i using phone i delete all of the recently apps.Before 35min i charge the phone do 100% again and after 35min without even touch the phone i have 93%.I checked the apps that drain most and its this - System - 6%, Mobile networkk 2% and Phone idle - 1% and everything other 0%.
I never let down the battery to 0% to turn of the phone.Maximum 5 times my battery was lower than 15% and never used Power saver modes.Always with the last official software.Can this be a problem of the battery and can the warranty fix that battery issue ?
I tried the fix from this theme but dont see any improvment.Also i noticed that when the phone is on the charger, the phone says - "16min to full charge".I leave the phone and after 10min i look onto it and it - "14min to full charge". After another 10min - "12min to full charge."
