I dont know if this has to do with me being a flashaholic but my battery wont charge. The lights on. But its taken an hour to charge 11 to 15 percent.
Does anyone have any suggestions to check the integrity of my battery?
I swear this happend after i flashed the a sense 2.2 rom.
Is there an app or anything that will tell me if my battery is effed'?
i turned my phone off and its charging. hopefully everythings ok.

Did you try flashing back to whatever ROM you were using before and see if that makes a difference?
HTC IS SENDING ME A REPLACEMENT BATTERY NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
My battery only charged up to 30% on a 8 hour charge. Eeek.
Hi Guys!!
i've done what this link told
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10092321&postcount=11053
but everytime i reach 100% and unplug the charger, my battery percentage immediately shows 97%, be it charging with the phone off or on....
i already did wipe my battery stats in recovery a few times, the first time only it showed that the stats were wiped, after that every time i wipe the stats, it immediately goes back to the previous menu, without stating whether the wipe was carried out or not....
can someone help this noob out here.... thnx
FYI, i just installed darky's rom v8.0 with Voodoo's kernel 5.2(lagfix disabled)
when i was on stock, my 100% could last me about nearly half an hour
I have this problem too. (I am on Darky 9.02 and have seen it in Darky 8.0 too). BUT if your battery life is satisfactory then don't worry about it.
hows the performance on v9.02 bro?

9.02 is good but then so was 8.00. I personally think 8.00 was faster but its only been a few days and am still experimenting. I may remove the lag fix and still need to see if my battery is draining faster.
Also look at this post: Has some interesting but unverified info about the drop from 100% to 97/98% after unplugging

Do you really want it on 100%? Easy, once it says charged, leave it on the charger for another hour and when you unplugged it should stay 100 for a while

Problem posted hundreds of times along with solutions like search the Rom makers forum and read the posts re this problem for starters .
Simple solution save time and effort is to ignore it .

thanx all for the advices.... tried the QueenAmy method, result is:
heavily used phone: battery 'died' at 2%(???)
charged phone until 100%(phone off)
switched phone on while still charging: 97% (didnt have to unplug charger)
waited...then it went from 97% straight to 100%.(funny)
then went into recovery to wipe bat stats.
rebooted and unplugged charger, battery still at 97%....
now trying to charge a bit more longer to see if can change anything... (fingers crossed)

not working bro...
left it on for about an hour, unplugged, straightaway the percentage drops to 98...
It's just a change in 2.2.1.
In 2.1/2.2, they 'stretched' out the battery life a bit to mark it up to 100%, in 2.2.1 they decided to just show it at the actual value. The reason your battery won't charge to 100% is to prolong the battery life, because if the charger always charged to 100% it would have a high chance of overcharging and damaging your battery over time.
There's no real change in battery life.
I reverted back to 2.2 and still have the problem. Maybe i shouldve flashed on 100% battery... Is it possible to solve if i do another fresh flash with 100% battery?

Just to clarify this, you actually cant over charge the battery on the SGS nor Li-Ion for that matter, what happens here is that the battery goes on trickle charge pre 2.2.1 and battery degrades faster if its kept at 100%, 40% is optimal for storage now with the recent changes the phone will pretend it has charged upto 100% but will stop anywhere from 99~97% yes there is no loss in battery life but dont consider 97% as the new 100%, theres already a 3% loss in this to begin with.

Hi,
I am trying to do the battery calibration piece but my phone never reaches 100% when the phone is off i charged it for almost 3-4 Hrs.
can some one help me?
New battery, like $10
i have two batteries now still i see the same issue, it started once i moved to GB Roms, before it was pretty good.
It is normal between 96% and 99%.
Is it normal to not reach 100% when i turn the phone off and charge it?

There has been talk about this occurrence before, but basically it's a battery-life saving feature of Gingerbread. Rather than hold your battery at 100%, which will decrease the battery's life, it charges to 100%, lets it dip down to a certain threshold (like 90%, for example), then recharges again.
That's my understanding, anyway.

Like jmtheiss said t's a GB surge protection not to overcharge the battery. It's a feature not a bug
does this mean we can do battery calibration on GB roms?

Two things regarding Battery Calibration :
1. For Better Battery Life : Always charge upto about 90% and use. Recharge when you reach 10% or even less. This will tremendously increase the life span of Li-Ion battery.
2. As regard to 100% charging :
(i) Boot to CWM, wipe battery stats.
(ii) Reboot and charge until 100%, Disconnect from charger
(ii) Power Off and connect charger again. Charge until 100%
(iii) Boot to CWM, wipe battery stats again.
(iv) Power on the phone and charge until 100%
Done.
Repeat the same, if you wish to re-calibrate the battery after some time.
Tip: Always re-calibrate battery and charge to 100% before flashing any ROM.

i am trying to follow these steps but my phone never reaches 100% @ the third step i have been charging it for 3 hrs..
Which ROM are you using? Because I know some ROMS have specific issue with battery charging. Please let me know

As I fiddled around with most of the ROMs out here in XDA, would suggest you to flash a KK4 build like Serenity or Illiminance, if you want a stable GB ROM. KK4 is the latest captivate GB leak and the ROM is awesome. Also, the ad-hoc wi-fi through modifided wpa_supplicant works in this build. The ROM is fast, stable and got good battery life. Try to flash the ROM and I'm sure you will get a great GB ROM without troubles.
Hit thanks, If I helped you out
Try charging with screen on. You'll hit100.

with screen on i am able to hit 100 but to calibrate arn't we supposed to get it with phone turned off.
I just bought a used galaxy S, I think something's wrong with this phone, I am having horrible battery life, 100% battery drains in a few hours, on standby! ..battery is even draining while phone is off... I had over 75% battery at night, I turned off my phone, and slept... woke up to find 0% battery..
Anyone else experienced this ?? Any suggestion how to fix?? I had stock 2.3.3 rom, then I flashed stock 2.3.6, now I am using GamerzRom.. I had same issue on all three roms..is it hardware problem?
from my experient , 2.3.3 have a big probleme with battery drain , try 2.3.4 JVR STOCK or 2.3.6 jvz stock , but without root , or flashing a roms(GAMEROMS, on its rom , the processor are overclock at 1.2 gbz , and battery is discharging more faster) ,and after put 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 , make a factory reset and wipe cache

So the battery is draining with the phone off..... Is it draining if you remove it from the phone? Charge to full, remove for a few hours and then check.
Then check accessories section for advice on a replacement battery.

Last night I left the phone off, after removing the battery, it didn't drain at all, but obviously it wasn't in the phone.
And I had a different battery before, this is the other battery I got from the shopkeeper as replacement, its original battery of galaxy S but not new, more than a year old...
I am wondering if my battery is faulty or phone?
Have you checked the battery pins?

Two pins are normal, one pin is a bit pressed..somewhat
I think your battery is dead. There is no way a Galaxy S with Stock ROM drains 75% over 8-10 hours of standby.
Was 3G on when you went to bed, bluetooth, GPS Etc? If so, THEN I'm not supprised.

I agree. Change the battery then try again
I did try another battery, both batteries were in good condition, probably Galaxy S had some problem, I returned it to shop...
I used the saurom 1-click to upgrade my i897 captivate. I charged it all night and the battery meter never went above 53%. Yet there was a notification telling me the battery was fully charged and to unplug the charger.
Why doesn't the battery meter rise to full? How do I fix this problem? Is there a way to recalibrate the meter?
Thanks,
Vipe
I downloaded a battery callibrate app and thought that would fix the problem.
I was sure the phone was fully charged, although the meter says 53%. I used the program to calibrate the battery. I expected the meter to jump to 100%, but that is not what happened. It stayed at 53%. I charged all night again, but it never went above 53%.
Do I have to let the phone totally die first before performing the calibration with the app? How do I get the battery meter to go to 100%?
Thanks,
Viper
