My Kaiser never had great battery life, 12 hour max.
But nowdays its just ridicilous, device turns itself off during calls. This is normal due battery failures.
But the real question that I am asking: Is it normal that battery indicator is not accurate at all? Ill give a few examples.
1) I charge the battery overnight (7 hours). When I wake up, it says 100% battery, but I notice that orange LED is not lit (not charging). I restart the phone, still 100%. I shut it down, remove battery, plug it back in, start the phone and it says 80% battery? Has the phone stopped recharging when it hit 100% the first time?
2) I'm making a call. 70% Battery. Phone shuts down. I restart it. Battery 70%. I shut it down, remove battery, plug it back, start the phone and it says 0% battery.
3) Battery 10%. I charge it to 100%. Shut down, remove battery, plug it back in, restart phone. Battery 75%. Recharge it to 100%. Shut it down, remove battery, plug it back in, restart phone. Battery 85%. Recharge it to 100%, repeat this few times and I finally get to "real" battery charge of 95%. And the phone stays on the whole day.
Seems that my phone is a BIT too optimistic about the 100%
I'm just hoping this is all about the fact that the battery is dying. Ordered a new one few days ago.
Same problems with WM 6.0 and 6.1.

This is an issue with battery calibration (or so I assume).
What you will need to do is:
Leave the phone for at least 36 hours. Make sure that you keep the phone turned on for as long as possible.
Once you have left it for 36 hours, connect the charger and charge for a whole 10 hours.
Then, turn on the phone and it will possibly show that the battery is at 100%. If not, you need to install an app called CurrentWidget: Battery Monitor. It is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manor.currentwidget
This app will tell you the voltage/current stored in the battery. If the mAh of the battery is 3000 mAh when left charging for 10 hours, then you will need to do this:
Fully charge the battery with the phone for 5 hours and when the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn it off.
When your phone is off, plug it into the charger and let it charge to 100% again. The green LED light will indicate when this is done.
Next unplug the charger, turn on your phone and set the option to ensure that your screen doesn’t turn off, if you have this option. Then reconnect to the charger and wait for it to charge again to 100%.
Once loaded to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not load until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly. The screen setting can put back to normal again (meaning turn off after a certain amount of time).
Hope this helped!
How can I calibrate my unrooted phone
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
You can't. Even if you are rooted.
Run your battery all the way down until it shuts off. Charge, uninterrupted, until fully charged. Voila! Battery calibrated.
Battery calibrating apps/techniques have been useless for quite some time.

My phone has gone through many charge and shutdown cycles and not even this has changed my 5% shutdown.
Have you tried leaving your phone plugged in after 100%? Let it trickle charge for an hour or two.
The battery 'calibration' stuff that people do is what android does automatically after getting to nearly full charge.
It hasn't been needed since gingerbread.
I have had this issue happen a few times, what I do is plug it in to turn it on , then try to run it down till 0 and then put it on charge while off till its 100% and leave it there for a few hours. Then after a few cycles, this occurs again. I dont charge in the middle, always charge at night until 100% and 30 minutes beyond that.
My phone has had boot problems lately, and I'm wondering if it is a hardware issue....
I've charged the phone when it is turned off (meaning that when you tap the power button, the white screen with the battery icon pops up). I've charged it to 100%, unplugged it in the morning, and when I come back at night, the phone is at 0%.
Does that make sense? Is the phone not really off if the battery charge screen shows up when you plug it in?
If it's draining from 100 to 0 in a day with the power off, it could be hardware for sure. As long as you're sure it was full when you unplugged it.
Try with it on and install gsam. See how long it lasts on...
And what gsam says before its dead.
Hi
I've been replacing my 3 years old battery in my Moto G LTE and I have an issue that new battery cant charge. I guess deep discharge protection was activated.
If phone is off and I connect charger, screen with 0% battery shows up. And it run in cycle = phone switch on, 0% screen, phone switch off, ....
If I first turn the phone on, ROM is loaded, charging flash appears in notification area, but battery is still 0% or it flash to 1%, but drops again to 0%.
Could anyone guide me how to fix it?
It seems to be hard to find a quality replacement battery these days: "I did buy the battery about 6 months ago and just installed it today. I'm not sure if the battery was bad from the start, if it deteriorates over time without being installed in a phone or what happened. All I know is the replacement battery didn't work and the old one does." https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Motorola+Moto+G+2nd+Generation+Battery+Replacement/52246
Are you shure the battery is charging at all?
I do not understand why the percentage of the battery as soon as I turn on the phone after a full charge immediately indicates 98% and not 100%, even if the display shows off the full charge as soon as I remove the charger.
It's probably because your 100% battery level is nearing on 99% and every reboot, based on my experience, more often than not consumes 1%, maybe more, hence, 98% battery left.

I'd suggest varying how you charge the phone; 1) with the phone on 2) with the phone off
My (albeit anecdotal) experience is that when charged with the phone on, and left on the charger longer than when it says 100%, it's doing a 'trickle' charge, which then seems to charge it completely. Again, anecdotal, but it seems to me that after charging it numerous times with it on, then when I charge it turned off it seems to do a *full* charge.
ymmv
maybe I explained myself badly. in the evening I put the phone off and off. In the morning as soon as I accrue it, instead of marking 100%, it will score 98% .If it is when I unplug it from the charger and it is still off and it is 100% .
