My battery is also doing this but then i question which is the true percentage...so then i quickly take the charger out and its just drops in a minute so i know if it thinks its dead its dead.
As for calibration you will find a ton of useful info here : http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-calibrate-the-battery-on-your-android-device
Hope this helps pal.

So this mean that the battery percentage display is just incorrect and nothing wrong with the battery itself?

I would hope so as my device is 3 month old and im guessing ur device isnt that old...it would be horrible if batterys were going wrong that fast...no i would say its got something to do with the device judging the level incorrectly fo whatever reason and your idea of calibration is the right direction....i think im going to try as couple of suggestions in that link myself tbh.....if ur battery was to be lasting like an hour though then i would say somethings not quite right.

I just got in on monday this week, the battery usually last for about a day with 3-4 hours of screen on time with reading and web browsing, with a bit of gaming which seems to kill it pretty fast. I am currently let it charge overnight and the do a full charge cycle to see what will happen. Thanks for your help :good:

My battery jumped when I was playing clash of clans when my battery was at 10%. It went from 10% to 3%. So then I rebooted and it went back up to 5%. So when my battery was almost dead.. I quickly resetted the fuel gauge in synapse.. And waited a few minutes then it died. Then I plugged it into the charger (did not touch it) till it reached 100%. Seems to be fixed now I hope.

The battery seems not to handle gaming very well i think, those drop are from playing brave frontier am still currently sitting at 38%
I bought this tablet 3-4 days ago. I installed this warship game. I also noticed that it literaly jumps from 30% to 3% in just 5 minutes or less. But my battery charges very quick,which is good on the other hand. What is going on whit this tablets battery? My tablet is still stock,not rooted and bla bla... LTE version offcourse. I'm not sure,but i think it started draining the vattery as soon as i insrted the memory card.

That's the problem I had on me T700, thank God I don't have this issue on the T807.
Funny thing, when the T700 battery died, I'd turn it on after 3 min and would show battery at 23% again and I was able to use it for another 15 min or so
I also had the battery problem,too.
After three days suffering by test all the method I Google from internet, I return my T705y to samsung,and they replace the board and battery.
Now everything's fine, try it,just return tabs to samsung.
tab s 8.4 lte battery only shows 2100 mah fully charged
I purchased a new oem battery (4900 mah) and put that in and it is still showing capacity for the battery as 2100 mah...have not a clue what is wrong?

up until this point i hadn't heard of it but I just got me a second Gnexus and figured i'd try it out.
Just over an hour into to test and you can see the same issue that had.
Testing conditions:
-both phones are rooted with the stock kernel and rom on Verizon
-I went to the settings and turned of every service possible the only that kept coming back was youmail which was on both phones
-I left the phone off (press the power button to put it to sleep) the whole time except between every call of duty match to check on the times and take screen shots
-screen brightness is exactly the same
-both phones started at 100%
I messed up the screen shots and that's why the volume pops up over the thing

Pretty crazy, I'm going in tomorrow to exchange mine ( the one that is draining ) tomorrow
My wife came home and plugged her phone up and mess my test up. I will try again, but this morning when I woke up the VZW network was down so i figured i do one more thing. I had my screen on for 90 seconds put it to sleep and then got in the shower. Here is what i saw when i got out.
The slight time difference is from the time it took me to get into android OS and take a screen shot
Here's another point of data.
I have a 2 batteries and I switched my second battery into the phone and got very different results. It may have been the restart that did something or it may be a battery issue. who knows
Both VZW phones? Does the one on the right apper to have a better signal also, or is it just me? My phone with much less screen time has AOS with about the same usage as yours on the right.
Looks like it's caused by the Media service which is running on the left phone but not the right phone...
I noticed my OS is using between 30 - 33%. I'm averaging between 6-8 hours between charges since I got it Friday.

I saw a rom that had a fix for the battery bug..
are your feelings that it is a software or hardware bug?
My battery drain is insane. I'm losing roughly 10% every 30 minutes, with 70% of that being the screen. My brigthness is dialed down to 40%. And I have the extended battery!

Is your screen on the whole time? You might need to adjust you time out setting. I always manually turn mine off as soon as I'm done looking at it.

Yeah that's keep awake is the problem
Your phone was on for 61 minutes and it was awake for 56 of those minutes.
That would be a problem. Hope it gets fixed, I like the phone but it's killing me to have to plug it in.
I hope it gets fixed quickly
Just checked my phone, unplugged for 34 minutes, only 2 minutes awake time. looks like I don't have the issue. I will post screen shots in a bit.
I have data turned off in my phone right now since data network is down. Could someone who is sure they have the issue test with data off? see if that changes anything to help validate my testing.
I should also note, I'm running Android Revolutions 2.1.1... will update to 2.1.2 later today.
Update,
After 2 hours. 91% remaining.
first hour, data was off, dropped 4% to 96%.. turned data on for 45'ish minutes, dropped another 5%... not unacceptable.
here are my screenshots for the 1st hour.
and after almost 2 hours.
So I was wondering if anyone who has their device already could post some screenshots of their battery usage, screen time etc?
I know there have been some thrown around numerous thread but just thought it would be useful if people would post in one place?
Thanks
just wanna share some battery life stats..
1st power up of the phone.. did a full charge with phone off, once charging light changed to green, i powered up the phone.. 1st thing i notice.. it is not fully charged to 100%..
next thing to take note, the entire duration the phone is on is an additional hr plus.. i rebooted the phone once so im not sure what is the actual duration the phone is powered by the battery..
all in all, about 3hr+ with high usage of the phone.. notice how the phone was awake most of the time and the screen was on most of the time too..
cheers..

Only if this phone had some decent battery packed in, as in the Note, I'd have grabbed it. Why HTC why ?

1st post so I hope it's helpful.
I'm a big fan of the phone & love it, there are a few small issues I've noticed & I'll post these in the relevant thread.
People keep saying the battery life is dreadful but it doesn't seem much worse than my original Desire on similar use.
After the first full charge last night I plugged in the charger when the warning came on at 9%:
11 hours 2 minutes on battery, screen used 75% of the power while on for 4 hours 31 minutes.
Everything else used a few % each.
Brightness was on auto at approx 50% most of the time and on full for about half an hour; indoors I wouldn't want it as bright as that.
F/W 1.26.401.2

Hi
Thinking about this phone or the one s. Just a quick q regarding the documented poor battery. Could i go out for the day - say for 15/16 hours send the occasional texts maybe a couple of photos/videos and the occasionally browsing the web - to check football scores etc etc.. should this handle that ok ?
is a pocket charger the way to go ?

That's how I intend to use the phone tomorrow, so i'll soon let you know.
The thing with this phone that is superb, there is hardly any drain when your not using it. It's extremely good for idle power saving.
dunno about you guys but i'm getting insane numbers in standby...
overnight i lose 1% with wifi, data and autos-sync on....
it's the first android phone that sleeps properly when screen is off...there's nothing keeping it awake.
i'm on 1.26 by the way
Well I don't think it's that bad on battery given how much screen time i've had....three and a half hours.
Only got 2% left so going to put it back on charge. These are my final stats for my first day after a 13hour charge

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to throw something out there...
Just got my shiny new Note 2, and its rad. But, just wanted a second opinion.
I'm aware that generally a Li-ion battery needs to be "conditioned" but usually you get a "fair" idea of battery life within a day or two. Now, had it for a day, on the day I got it, tried my multimedia dock for like 15 minutes...freaked out because I forgot it charges it too. Took it off...flattened the phone till it turned off and charged it, while off for 8 hours over night.
First day has been fairly standard really...much the same as my Galaxy Nexus. Currently on 2 hrs screen time, 36 mins of calls and I'm already down to 45%???
Is this "normal"??
I'm just a little concerned that I may have a crappy battery. I feel a bit "to soon to judge" so I might see after a week. Just wanted to know if everyone else had the same sort of experience.
Thanks in advance.

AFAIK the battery needs a few charging cycles to get it's full capacity. So it will become better.
Have you set the slider for auto brightness to minimum?
That made the greatest power boost for my Note 2.
If the slider isn't at minimum, your values look normal to me.
If it is, you should have more battery left. But here I have to refer to my first sentence.
Drained 55% in 2 hours of screen time and 36 minutes seems weird but it's too soon to judge. Get it down to 1% and fully charge your battery to the max with your phone off and see if it works wonder the next day. Do let us know the outcome.
Thanks guys. I definitely will.
I just thought me fully draining it yesterday would have made today pretty good. Your right though... I feel I'm judging a little too quickly. I just thought I'd get a surprise straight away with this phone as I know it's got unreal battery life.
What were your first days like?
Edit - My screen has been on auto all day too... Hrmmm, starting to worry... Haha. Luckily I haven't rooted yet.

Even if it is on auto, you can calibrate the brightness with the slider in the notifications.
For me it's bright enough if it is at min. And it saves you loads of battery.
Update.
Did a full charge from 10% last night... While on though, does that make a huge difference?
Did this code today *#0028# and like a battery stats reset tool comes up. After hitting quick restart it's drained allot slower. Maybe it didn't have that done out of the factory. Still feel I have a crappy battery though... It's only been 2 charges. Going to do 1% then charge off tonight. See how we go...
Anyone know what the code tool is actually for?
Cheers.

I got a 4 day juice after charging it for the first time with screen on for 4+ hours. Still getting the same or better at times. One thing i have noticed is that leaving the phone connected to the charger for another 20 mins or so even when its fully charged gives it a push in the right direction. U can try that out if u want.
Following are my 1st charge stats

Hi all... first post, first problem with android... and hopefully a long time here in xda!
So I have the T320 (8.4 pro) and I have a strange problem with my battery. Is not only that it lasts no more than 4 hours (screen), the problem come by low and high battery %.

By low, the table shuts down and after starting it again, it shows between 5 and 10% battery!!
Something similar happens by charging... it shows 90% and no change... and after a reboot it shows 100%.
Is my battery dying? Should I wipe and restart from zero? Cyanogen?
The speed how fast battery drains is also extreme compared to stand-by times... but I assume this is more or less a problem of this tablet.
Many thanks in advance!

Having similar issues. Found mine dead out of nowhere one day. Never had custom ROM on it. Did factory reset now it seems like it doesn't want to charge .... Charges VERY slowly if at all.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
i have the same issue, dropped from 50 to 15 all of a sudden , will try calibration , anyone else noticed this ?i picked up mine used so unsure whats the issue
i found better battery life after i did a factory reset. i bought it new and set it up and since then had 1 Sammy update but last week i reset it and it clearly made a difference on my 10.1. yesterday i had 2 hours screen time and on battery for 2 day and some hours and had 60% left.
Add mine to the list....seems to be doing the same thing here. Haven't been able to sort it out yet.
Took the back off mine tonight and reseated the battery connector. Then charged like below. First to time in a while it charged up like this.
can you post a pic of videos of how to pry it open ? hopefully simple with a prying tool

I just very carefully went around it with one of those guitar like plastic openers i have laying around from the many tablet/phone repair kits i have used. I probably rebooted it 5 times before i finally popped it apart... thing just did not want to charge. This was the first time i saw it ramp up 1% at a time in a while. The other thing i noticed it was doing was jumping from ~70% to 100% instantly.... The graph showed it too. I didn't believe that was really happening.
some pics would help , is it between the screen and the metallic part or the back and the metallic part ?

Opened mine up because of the battery charging stalls and reseated my battery. I bought this tab 2 weeks ago used and this is the first time it has charged to 100 without me forcing it too! Its def worth doing if ur battery stalls!!

Mine has been really good now for days too...any hint of battery probs are gone!
I suspect an app did this too. I was on cm when it started...others were stock. Chrome or some other common Google app put our tabs in a funky state.
Hello,
I want to get this smartwatch but is the drain as bad as everyone suggests? Is it fixed?
Thanks

I stopped yesterday to use my SW3. Impossible to keep a watch wich can be out of power in 2 hour from 50% before

3 times last week, worse since last update few days ago.
Mine needs charging every day, no point having it, if you turn all the features off to extend the battery

I get 2.5 days battery life on average. Had sudden drain twice since I have it. That's OK with me considering a recharge is done in under an hour and the watch is far less important than my phone.
In my experience with smartwatches like smartphones or any other computer it is helpful to reboot it once in a while. I do that after every two or three charge cycles.
There are so many factors that play into battery life or that might even drain the battery. As far as I can see there doesn't seem to be a specific thing that can be held responsible for the bad experience some people have with the sw3. I don't think there is anything wrong with the watch just bad luck and an unfortunate combination of circumstances for some users.

I also get 2.5 days on average, anyway sw3 is about to get Android wear 1.4(Android 6.0) and possibly all battery problems will be gone.
I have : SW3, LG-G, LG-R and a Gear2 with Wear Mode. SW3 is the only wich can drain battery from 50% to 4% in 2H. Exactly same app and same use case for the 4 watch.
drain issue hasn't been fixed, but a workaround I do that seems to stabilize it is to restart after charging. Haven't had a bad drain since.

I got mine on Friday, and was ready to send it back to Amazon by Sunday because of the battery drain,
However, after reading the posts on here about restarting after a full charge, it does seem better. It's still a problem that need fixing, but this workaround certainly helps.
i have no sudden drain problem at all, i get about 2,5 days with average use. I'm running latest stock unmodified LCA43 firmware
No drain here. Easy 2 days of battery per charge
I don't think it is an issue anymore.
Mine hasn't drained for a while but it did today. Went from about 50% to 10% in about an hour or two. ?
Had also the battery drain in the beginning (bought it maybe 10 month ago). Restarting after fully recharged helped...till yesterday. I've the same behaviour like user dersie & Sparksltd, suddenly it drops from 50% to 0 within 2h again.

It's definitely still a problem for me - seems that unless I do a restart after charging I get the drain issue after every third charge and the watch goes from 100% to dead in about 7 hours whereas on a 'normal' day I would expect to use around 40% in an entire day which equates to the 2.5 days use some users are reporting.

I did get a big drain back in December of 2015 along with everyone else, but looking back I think that drain was (or may have been) caused by the OTA update of the Android Wear OS - not the old drain issue. And except for that I haven't had one in months. I am very sorry to see that you and so many other SWR50 owners are still having problems with this.
Bought this watch two weeks ago and it's rock solid. No drain at all, it easily lasts for 2 days of usage.
I tend to switch mine off over night, I have noticed that from time to time despite being switched off it drains the battery. Has anyone got same issue ?

I also consider buying it. And reading all this comments about the battery drain makes me dare to ask if the issue only persist when the GPS and WIFI are on?

No it is a random issue and we never know why ???
After 2 days without map I have no issue. No enough time to know if it is related but I have good hope of the issue is related to "Google map"
