Battery kept saying 100, but as soon as it was unplugged instantly went to 99.
So i used odin and did the whole nine and charged phone while on had to charge three times back to back and and then it stayed at 100 even after unplugged give it a try..... Hope it works for y'all too!
Where you running a 2.2.1 rom? That battery reating us a known issue

lol, some has to have it perfect. ...and yes I'm guilty of that too
Well, if you consider the percentage as being a visual respresentation of the battery's voltage along with a bit of math, then as soon as you remove the charge power, the voltage drops.
It's really nothing like the fuel gauge in your car. Don't get too fixated on it because it's not a very accurate representation of "how charged" the battery is especially at the top, but the 100 is so much better than the stock 10 or so icons... which was more out of sight out of mind.
Yeah I was on 2.2.1. So that drains the batt a little quicker?
Sorry to sound stupid. Still new to all this.

In 2.2.1 there's an issue discussed in the Perception thread where the system apps sync constantly.
Go to Settings->Applications->Samsung Apps and turn it OFF.
An interesting read for you may be the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806211&highlight=battery+drain thread. I found this useful when I discovered the issue myself.
In 2.2.1, it's a known issue that battery will jump from 100%->98% almost immediately after being unplugged. According to the kernel gods, and if I understand correctly, it's entirely cosmetic, and is just a change in Samsung's reporting functions. So long as it doesn't continue dropping at that rate, I think you're fine.
Thanks for the info.

I now have one week to the Nexus One bought secondhand. It suits me perfectly stand alone I have a little trouble with the battery life of the phone. Morning when the phone is 100% and I come out of school (14:30 hours) the battery is still around 20%. I find this a bit short. Ok, I'll use him at school (bit Internet, twitter refreshes every 9 minutes)
There is an automatic task killer, and that helps a bit but I think there are about 80% after 8 hours battery life is a bit much. Me internet is also constantly and I really like to keep.
The battery is probably not because I've got 2 batteries and they both give the same result.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
I've been a bit inet searched but not really found anything. I did see somewhere a separate battery behind the phone, but I'm not waiting because that makes him a bit heavier and uglier.
10% per hour is pretty poor battery life. Are you running stock Android? 3rd party firmwares can give you much better battery life (the latest versions of CyanogenMod are using less than 1% per hour when fully idle).
But there are things you can check. Have you looked in Settings -> About phone -> Battery usage? If you are using Gingerbread and you look at the graph, if there is a solid line (or mostly solid) next to the "awake" portion, it means that your phone isn't properly entering its low powered state. Download spare parts from the market and check out partial wake usage under the battery history section of that app.
Please post your screen on time value from the battery menu so we can see how long your screen is on.
I would say to go and disable background data. Disabling this will definitely improve your battery life. Of course, you aren't going to get you twitter updates but aside from that, the battery life should improve.

While it is true that battery life would improve if Background Data was disabled (or limited via a program like Juice Defender), it doesn't take into account his actual problem. Unless it is a ton of apps constantly downloading that is keeping his battery usage in the toilet, this will only yield a slight improvement. I believe the cause is is an app (or apps) that prevent his phone from entering the low powered sleep state.
I don't know what stock Android gets from completely idle use (haven't run it since July last year), but a basic CyanogenMod install would sip between 1-2% per hour with the latest stable and the latest nightlies, some are reporting 1% every 2-3 hours when the phone is left alone (due to a fix that lets the microphones go into a deep sleep state).
Twitter refreshing every 9 minutes can not be helping, that said I doubt that's your entire issue but reducing the refresh rate should help quite a bit.
If you bought it used, it could be a bum battery. Not sure i know what apps work best to find out that info. Anybody?

The battery app in my sig is the only one that reads the chip inside your battery to tell if it's legit or not, what the battery age is, etc. Needs root to work though.

There you have it, in the title. Google engineer Dianne Hackborn, who has previously explained Android’s hardware acceleration, took to Google+ again to clarify some myths about the Android operating system. This time, it’s a point of common advice that you’ll see in virtually every FAQ thread about custom ROMs and flashing: wiping battery stats in order to improve battery life.
The reasoning behind that piece of advice was something like this: If you, at some point, did not charge your Android device fully (for example, only to 80%), it would supposedly remember that battery level as “fully charged” – in this case, you’d only ever get to use 80% of your battery, which is of course less than optimal. So, if you wipe the battery stats, usually done in ClockWord Mod Recovery, the device would “forget” the previous level, here 80%, and instead charge to the full 100% once again, thereby re-calibrating the battery. Or, as Hackborn puts it in more technical terms:
"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."
However, as she explains, that’s not the case. Because those battery stats, stored in the batterystats.bin file, are only used to maintain information about what is using the battery when not recharging. That is, it essentially holds the information displayed in the Settings > Battery screen. Nothing more, nothing less. Thus:
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
What’s more, you’ve probably noticed that the battery usage data is reset once you recharge your device anyway. From this you can correctly deduce that the battery stats are wiped as well – every time your device is recharged. More or less every day. If there was any effect, you would’ve noticed it without going into recovery and doing that stuff. Typical placebo, eh?

[MYTH] Wiping batt stats helps save battery life
Just because it makes sense, and comes from someone who should know, do you think we are going to believe it? =P
Just kidding. Thanks again!
Interesting, so why is it when I flash something and let's say my bat is @ 20% but after rebooting I'm down to 4%
Doesn't do that all the time but it is odd.

I saw that behavior on my previous Revo. Sounds like a good question to ask her.
I stopped "calibrating" the battery since that previous phone and have had no problems. Reading mtm say that he never calibrates with all he does with his phone, I am on that boat. Reading the quotes above is reassuring.

I have too and that's the whole reason I calibrate is because I thought it would give me more accurate readings. Plus, maybe I'm losing it, but I always feel like I get better battery life in the middle of the calibration process.

It's a volts/amps thing. The lower your battery is, the faster it will drain. Rebooting your phone takes a lot more energy for all the necessary operations during a boot up. Without going into detail, the amperage will pull voltage down faster on a curve as the battery level gets lower, just as it does when charging.
When charging, batteries will not only appear to charge faster for the first 40-50%, but they are because the charge voltage is much higher than the battery voltage, giving more force of energy movement. As the battery voltage increases, that force is less, therefore taking longer to push amps into the battery.
The reverse is in effect on draining. I would safely say that you likely wouldn't see that much of a percentage of change for a reboot when your battery was fully, or near full charged.
Hope that helps... I also see a major percentage drop when rebooting my phone with a battery at less than 40% charge left in it. If the battery is mostly charged, I don't notice much more than a percent or two drop.
If this isn't helpful enough and need a better explanation, just let me know and I will try to explain it better. It's just basic electricity 101.

the battery drop seems to happen quite often when you flash a ROM mostly I have a question might sound dumb but since the phone is on and all systems are being active wouldnt that use more of your battery life
Damn you Hicks... next you are going to tell me unicorns aren't real.
Yesterday I was at 25% I reboot, and it warned me that I was at 15% upon starting up. I don't think it has anything to do with anything. The phone ran as though the life was still at 25% (an hour or so with heavy-ish usage.) If I have done a lot of rom-ing and theme-ing I will recalibrate (just as a reassurance to myself) I am sure it makes no difference, but it puts me at ease, and really being self centered... isn't that what life is all about?
Poor communication between the battery stat program, and the display program, could this be the thing that is driving everyone nuts? Maybe the two programs need a class to express their feelings better.

Lol sorry! I'm really not trying to be all "doom and gloom." Just thought it was an interesting find lol.
An Observation
Back in the day I had an Incredible. It was truly an incredible phone. With the exception of the battery of course. There were/are always two camps or schools of thoughts about the battery. One was that you have to "condition" your battery to get better life, the other was "F it, the battery is fine". There was also the "bump charge" mythos going around as well. I think, and this is just my opinion, this is the same thing as the wiping of battery stats every time you flash a ROM.
My experience, both on the Incredible, the Inc II, the Charge, Revo and Bionic, (some of these are my wife's phones) is that conditioning the battery, or wiping battery stats are just really, as Spc pointed out, a myth. Our batteries die faster when we flash a new ROM cuz we are playing with it more. We have a new toy again.. same with themes...or new kernels.
Every time I wipe my battery stats I end up with much worse battery life for several days.
But thank you Hicks for posting the article. Its always good to read a debunked myth!! Bravo!!
These opinions are mine and not intended to troll, or irritate or annoy people. If I do, sorry.
Not sure if anyone else has seen this....but i've found charging a little while longer after it says 100% seems to provide battery life.
If it take it off the charger right away...i get about 8-10hours. If i keep it on a few hours longer, i seem to get about 12.
I'm running at 1.2GHz...gVolt
On my old Note, when looking at battery usage (and on my nexus 7), "Screen" was always the top listed user of battery life, and below that were apps that i'd been using.
This couldn't be farther from reality on my note 3, however!
Right now:
47% - not charging. 1d 12h 8m 15s on battery
Google Play Services - 59%
Android OS - 9%
Cell Standby 7%
Screen 7%
Granted, I am not using the phone very heavily (obviously), and I have no complaints about the battery usage (I've been skipping nights of charging because-I-can with this, which I could never do before). I just don't understand why it's showing so much battery usage as being due to Google Play Services...
Is this:
a) A problem with my phone that could be remedied (how?), resulting in even more ridiculously long battery life
b) The battery usage numbers are bull****, at least for low overall usage.
c) Normal - Samsung's engineers are miracle workers and managed to make a very efficient screen
d) Normal - Google Play Services is a huge battery hog in general.
If it's d), can anything be done to rein it in? The potential battery life without that drain is so tempting!

53% of how much time? 1 to 3 hours, no worries. Up to 6 or 7 hours up time probably an issue. More and definitely a problem. It is a matter of perspective. 50% of an hour is 30 minutes while 50% of 10 hours is 5 hours. It is hard to tell if there is a problem with these high percentages if they are based on short total time.
Sorry if that is long winded, but hope you get what I am trying to say.
1%/hour is not bad if there is some use time on it. If it was during down time, still not bad but shoot for .5 to .8.

I get exactly what you saying.
1 day 10 hrs uptime, 53% on Swype + Dragon (well, 49 now, after doing some battery hungry stuff). Tapping that entry shows:
CPU total: 3h 3m 49s
Stay awake: 1d 4h 47m 28s
Data sent: 38.1 kb
Data received: 42.83 kb
1 day 10 hours is not bad but with only 3 hour and x minutes of screen time, I think you have an issue. I get between 1 day and 15 to 17 hours with 5.5 to 6.5 hours screen time. (edit:There are days I get worse and some days better. Depends on where I am at and what I am doing) Usually with 2 to 3 hours of music. Of course a lot of variables contribute to the difference between our results.
Try doing a battery pull and then keep track of a full charge cycle and see what happens.
Edit 2: just reread your post and saw that swype/dragon shows awake for 1 day 4 hours. Have you tried a different keyboard to see what happens? Is Dragon the speech to text program?

Yeah, for some reason swype now comes bundled with some speech recognition feature I never use.
The problem with a different keyboard is that I am practically paralyzed on my phone without swype I don't know how I used a phone without it. I'd have to set this up for a test when I'm not going to be using the phone much.
It's bad enough to be talking to my phone when i'm making a call, I don't want to be talking to myself when i'm not making a call. I think everyone looks crazy when they're on hands-free barking orders to their phone - where I live, you see a lot of people talking on hands free, but you also see a lot of crazy bums talking to themselves, and you can't tell them apart if they have a hat on, cause it hides the headset, except by judging how expensive their clothes are - and even then, hipster and homeless look pretty similar....

I disabled some of the permissions (location, read contacts, post notification) from Swype in AppOps.
I don't know if this was what fixed the issue, or whether Swype wound up in a "wakelock" through some one-time event.
Now, I'm seeing the screen at the top of battery usage, like it's supposed to be. Can't yet quantify the improvement in battery life, as I was using the phone more heavily the past 2 days since I charged it.
This phone is psycho. I thought my battery drain was fixed..but nope. Android OS is again killing it. My phone won't sleep. Better battery stats and wakelock detector doesn't tell me why. .in 11 hours my phone has been awake like 6 hours..While being in my pocket.

So our phone has a lithium Ion battery right? Well heres some things most people do not know about this type of battery.
Sorry if this has been posted before!
Li-ion batteries begin to degrade as soon as they start to be used.
One cycle is based on a 100% depth of discharge (e.g. discharging from full to empty), the potential number of charges can be increased by not allowing the battery to become fully discharged before topping it up. For example, allowing a fully charged battery rated at 500 cycles to drop to 50% before recharging could potentially triple the number of charge/discharge cycles to 1500 before the battery capacity degrades, thus increasing the batteries overall lifespan. However, this also means the battery will need to be plugged in more regularly.
This means that keeping the phone topped up, and not waiting for full discharges will potentially extend the battery life of the phone.
In no way am i saying this a definite thing, as i do not know, and this wont extend your screen on time if that's what your after, it will offer you the same amount of screen on time, for an extended period of time.
So to conclude, charging little and often can extend the life of your battery. In theory anyways. I read up on this from a few articles and websites, too many to reference, but this is the combined knowledge i found.
There are still a lot of people who thinks that you must discharge to empty.
This was required when NiCd batteries were in use. Li-Ion are different.
Thanks for posting that! :highfive:

Friend, I wrote it looking at the topic of the thread. Hope this will help people who are looking to optimise their battery by tweaking some settings in CM 11.
At least helpful to those who have subscribed to this thread !
@sPEADy and @prem911 what ROM + kernel combos are you guys using ? :good:
@sprite048 I am using the nightly form 07th January.......and all defualt CM did'nt change anything
best battery saving strategy:
1) turn off wifi and 3g
2) put down your phone and pick up a book to read
3) dont touch you phone, use the landline to make call and laptop for messaging
right, speady?
Just kidding, WiFi and 3G are actually your battery killer. I'm currently using CM11 and can have 3 hours light gaming (Plague Inc.) with 700MHz CPU and 200MHz GPU settings. Another tip is dont use background process (such as news, email or even swiftkey; Google location accessing as well), they do wake your phone up regularly to sense if you have connection with the Internet Lord.

I do get 2 and half hours of screen time with 2 days usage. I did post in Carbon Rom 4.2.2 thread 4 hours of screen on time few months back so I do use my phone a lot when needed.
