Having some odd behavior from my TMobile HD7. After being plugging in to the wall socket all night to charge, I look at the indicator and it shows about halfway charged. I unplug it from the socket and reconnect and it pops to full battery.
After about six hours of use yesterday the battery showed almost dead. Had to turn off a phone for a plane flight, then when restarting an hour later it was at half power indicator.
Anyone else having problems like this or have a solution? This is a relatively new behavior I have seen.
Try to drain the battery until it shuts off. Then charge for at least 6 hours. Battery should now be calibrated.

I am not new to the phone and I have done battery calibrations many times. I used MIUI for a long time, then went to Pinnacle 1.1. After a few weeks one night after fully charging, I unplugged the charger and it dropped to 70% instantly. I could then plug the charger back in and it will not move from 70% for a while, then it will register 'fully charged'. Removal of the charger again will make it drop to 70%. Turning off the device and charging will show the green battery about 2/3 full, but not registering full. I then went back to MIUI thinking it was a rom flaw, but this problem has persisted. I am right now charging on stock JF6 with the same results. If this is indicative of a defective battery, has anyone seen this before? The battery is 14 months old.
TL;DR - It seems that the battery wont charge past 70% regardless of ROM/Kernel.
I had a similar problem but it was because I wasn't using the charger that comes with the phone switched chargers problem was solved.

I drained the battery last night, and then charged while off fully. The green battery icon went to 100%, and as soon as I turned it on it said 73%.
You might want to check into getting a new battery I got a extended battery for 10$ you can probably find the original sized battery for about the same price if you look around.

Google "bump charging". I had a similar issue when I was on serendipity vii, it would charge to full, but as soon as I unplugged it would drop to 80%. I bump charged, then calibrated. All was well after that.

Tried that. It hangs at about the 2/3 full level on the large green battery icon when the phone is charging off so I really can't do a proper bump charge.
I think I am going to resign to it being a battery past its prime...

I find that hard to believe, but it can't hurt to try!
Sounds like you need a battery calibration..
1. discharge completely
2. plug into a USB port on the computer for a slow charge up to 100% (overnight while "off")
3. unplug the device and turn it on
4. if you have a ROM with CWM installed, clear the battery stats at this time.
5. plug it into usb until it's charged to 100% (while on)
6. unplug the device and turn it off
7. plug in into usb again until its charged to 100%(while "off")
8. turn it on and use it as normal
This will allow the device to relearn it's battery charging characteristics. This is the battery calibration.

In stages 2 or 5 it never reaches 100%.
I am going to try a coworkers battery tomorrow at full charge. That should settle it.

You are not leaving it long enough. It will reach 100% once it charges what it believes is 30% more. It must be off and you must clear the Batt stats.
Once it stops charging it marks that as fully charged. Your battery needs calibration.

You are right.
I did a small test with a coworkers battery today.
His battery in his phone - 88%
His battery in my phone - 58%
Leaves a delta of 30% which is exactly why mine stops charging at 70%.
It has gotten to 100% while off charging in the green. I then booted to CWM recovery and wiped battery stats, but it turns on at 70% again. It is almost like it isn't deleting the file.

It's true, go to your nearest AT&T store and tell them about your issue and they'll take your information (name, address etc...) and ship you a brand new OEM (Samsung) battery no questions asked. No idea why they don't just hand you one on the spot, but it only takes a few days to get to you anyways.

did you finish the procedure I mentioned? There is a calibration procedure. It involves turning it on and off several times and plugging it in an unplugging it several times.

I followed the calibration instructions perfectly. I have done it quite often actually. Didn't work. It acts as if CWM isn't actually deleting the file.
Deleted batterystats.bin via a terminal emulator and still no luck.

Hi
I'm new and this is my first thread.
After I rooted my phone I have an issue with charging my battery.
When I started the phone after the root I had a 100% battery, after I was playing and using it I plugged it in when I was going sleep.
After the whole night my phone charged from around 12% to only 60%, and then after I was using and draining the battery nearly to minimum(around 5-7%) it and left it for a couple o hours and it charged to 59%. Sometimes it charges a bit more but the whole process is really slow comparing it to the stock rom charging(it was taking lik 3-5 hours from 0-100%).
I rooted my phone with ivendor's rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825260
I was using CWM 6.0.1.2.
I would like to ask for any solutions for my problem, for now I want to drain it to 0 and then leave it again charging for a couple of hour maybe a whole night.
It's a bug. Sometimes is occures and sometimes not.
You could flash castagnaIT kernel and try again.
Just installed the kernel.
1st thing I noticed is a performance increase.
I'll gonna post what's the situation of battery tomorrow.
Ok, After a whole night of charging my phone only got to 68%, then when I was charging it when it was turned off It charged to 85% and when I turned it on it stopped to charge even with the AC plugged in and the icon is showing that it's charging.
Any solutions ? Please help.

I get a similar issue. When on stock I was always getting 100 %. Then I flashed CM9 and I randomly get 100 % after all night recharge.
If you are not afraid of switching ROMs, try a different one and let us know if it solved the problem because as mrjraider said
It's a bug.

Ok.
I was charging it turned off. It charged to 100%. I'll gonna test it today one more time with charging it when the phone is switched on.
If it fails I'll gonna get back to my stock rom and test it and try again with a battery charge to 100%.
Also remember that the phone wont charge completly due to safety of your battery..
Most of the time it recharged to 98 percent

Yes I know but the indicator in the phone 'has that in mind' so it shows 100% but its really 98 i know. When I was analyzing that battery graph I saw that the battery is charging really long. If I'm reading it right it takes the same amount of time to charge it as to drain it when using it.
Screen is attached. I was charging it through the wall charger.
It's polish language
Any opinions ?
Make your battery empty 0% !
Try to turn on the phone after empty battery !
and make sure that the battery is empty ....
Just connect your charger without turn on you phone....
charge your phone for 9 hours !
Then , take the charger out and turn on your phone !
Try... this steps may it help you

I think that the solution was USB debugging. When I turned it off the phone is normally charging full and works perfectly.
Hey everyone! we are all using a li-ion battery » when we unplug our device from cable it will turn automatocally to 99%... I'm sorry folks, i don't like this feeling neither never havimg 100%...

Odp: Battery won't charge to 100%
Try another rom. It was the solution in my case.

Ahh.... just turn it off. Charge it fully( 3hrs at max). Got to recovery and wipe battery stats. Then drain it completely, and then recharge it fully.again. Then it will most probably go till 100%

Hi, is someone solve this problem. On my alcatel idol 6030X with off phone battery is 100% changed, after power on show 88%. When charging with power on phone, after 88% charging stop. What to do?
Hey everyone. I was hoping that somebody could help me out with an issue that has just happened..Every night i plug my xperia tl into a wall charger, and turn it off. then i usually turn it back on when i wake up in the morning. This morning however, my phone wouldnt turn on. I unplugged it, then tried turning it on but still no luck. I plugged the phone back in and it turned the screen on showing the batter had 0%. I waited a few minutes then turned it on, and it worked, but i had like 1% battery. Basically i had my phone off all night, plugged into a charger and i woke up and the battery was dead. I've tried restarting it thinking it was a battery calibration error and that it might reset it but it still had a dead battery. Also when i restart my phone it usually resets the battery usage chart but it wont reset. Also on the graph it shows a sudden drain of the battery. the battery was at like 30% then went right to 0%..anyone else have this issue? And could anyone tell me how to fix it?? Thanks!
Okay, a little but later i tried unplugging my phone and restarting it again. When i turned it back on i saw a spike in the battery. It jumped from 40% to 55%...then when i plugged it back in it went back down to 40%...is there something wrong with the batter calibration? I just cant figure it out..
Another possibility is that the battery is damaged. Despite the charger being off at the wall, there is still a residual current. Connecting anything to an off socket for has always carried a risk, it's how many fires start
The phone actually warns you of this, think about the green message that says also unplug your charger from the wall.
I hope I'm wrong and it is just calibration error. Good job it's a tl with removable battery.
Should be able to get sorted under warranty though if it's not unlocked just say it wouldn't turn on.

TL doesn't have a removable battery.
I am also having issues w/ my battery draining very quickly after little to no use. when i check the battery usage it says the ebay app is using most of the charge but I never even had it open (I FC it), and now its saying the screen is using 54% of the battery even though the screen was turned off. whats the deal?
Hi Guys,
I have a rooted Xperia V with the original 1.140 -Version.
Since a month I do have the problem, that the phone turns off, at 5-8%.
My battery monitor widget, which I have since the first day of the Phone, shows me: 0% at 3010mV
But it turns of at 3400-3500mV.
I tried about 10times in a row to fully unload the phone and then a full recharge. But it didnt helped.
I deleted the batterystatsbin. Didnt helped.
I remember from my old Defy with CWM, that there was a point in recoverymode which allowed me to wipe my battery.
I would like to do that, but I dont get into recovery mode.
Volume + and power didnt helped, volume - puts me in safe mode, like windows safemode.
Can somebody help me to get clean batterystats again?
plz? :fingers-crossed:
Wiping batterystats has nothing to do with calibrating battery, it just wipes the stats shown under Settings - Power - Battery.
You should search for how to calibrate battery, there are several options available here on XDA.

I hope you did not simply mean by calibrate battery:
Deleting batterstats.bin.
In fact I searched XDA and the german forum android-hilfe.de for some days and didnt found an answer.

My best advice is to let phone discharge so it dies by itself, then fully charge it to 100% without any powering on under charge process. When charged to 100 - turn on phone and let it charge additional 1 hour so it can add back the lost procentage values that was lost during boot up..

I followed your instructions. After that I let the phone discharge so it dies by itself. Same problem... 7% at 3208mV and it dies.
Furthermore theres a new "problem". As it charges while it turned off, the battery-icon wasnt fully loaded, it has a space between fully loaded and the acutal status. The green LED was on, as it does by 90%. After half an hour nothing changes, I turned on the phone, charger still plugged in, and it showed 99%. With this status it loaded 10-20min till it has 100%.
After some minutes, it might be 15, I removed the charger and used the phone normaly.
So it was an uninterrupting loading time of nearly 4h to 100%. But normaly it takes only 2:30h from 0%-100% with the 1760mAh Battery and the original 1500mAh-Charger.
Now the funny fact:
Normaly I have till now 70% Battery left. I do have at the moment 86%.
I dont get it...
