Well, I flashed the latest nightly and since then my phone just stops charging while plugged in. On the lock screen it says its charged, but it isnt full. If I replug my cable it starts charging again, but its very annoying...
Any help?

The same for me. But I suppose it is a combination of old (2 and 1/2 years) old battery and a non Samsung rom. But even if I pull the SGS from the charger when it is at 97% it stays awake the same amount of time as if it was charged to full.
Try Wiping Cache + Dalvik Cache + Battery Stats
If the problem still persists, Then you should get yourself a new battery.

hello i flashed telus v5 rom put my phone on charge last night and this morning my phone was on 30% plz can someone help also how do i calibrate battery its not there in open recovery thanks
Did you perform a complete wipe of your phone before installing?
Try installing a different Kernel or look in your setting under "About" and then "battery use" and see what has been using the most battery.
yes i did full wipe
I did something I reade here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11514494&postcount=624
Shutdown phone, charge until 100%, retire battery, wait until apperas ?? symbol, put battery again, it will be at 60% and start charging again.
As you may not flashing a new rom, try the second tip
with phone booted, charge with wall charger (not PC) until 100% (full charge).
After unplug charger and shutdown telephone.
Charge again until 100%. Boot again. It should clean statistics.
I did this also, but using Openrecovery I deleted batterystats.bin file to be sure that statistics are out.
I prefer to charge always via wall charger and with phone off, I notice more long usage during day than charging the phone on. And charging using PC is really very slow, I use only in emergency.
But do not left battery very low (5%) and try to charge via PC and USB, because perhaps it does no boot and you have no phone, I had this problem once, So I was a couple of hours without phone until arrive home and full charge via wall charger.

Claudio.
Hi
Apologies if this has been posted before. I recently flashed my phone with gingerbread (JVK) and since then, the USB charging have been more then a little bit screwy.
Usually i have my phone plugged into my PC while i am work. At some point during the day i will get the message telling me that its finished charging. If i unplug it at this point the battery will instantly drop to between 70 and 80 percent, sometimes it goes as low as 50%!!!! If i plug the phone back in it will continue charging for a while and then i will get another message telling me that the battery is at 100%. If i unplug it then it still drops, but to a higher percentage. I am able to get the battery to 99% by plugging it in and unplugging it a number of times.
The odd thing is that if i charge it from mains, it goes to 100% and stays there the first time.
Any ideas?
somehow same issue for me for what ever gingerbread (jv1/jvk/jvb) i have use.
but mine is different, if i got it unplug immediately after it saids "full charged" it will shows 100%.
BUT if i leave the charger on after it saids "full charged" for another few more hrs say 6 hrs, after unplugging.. it will immediately drop to 90% or even less some time.
well for js5/7/8 don't have such issue, that means after i leave the charger plug for overnight even its already full charged, after unplugging it still shows 99-100% !
wondering if any jv1/k/b user encounting this same issue?

If you are rooted, then delete battery stats, shutdown your phone, and leave it on the charger till it is 100% full. Then leave in on the charger again, start your phone, and delete battery stats again. Reboot your phone, and you should be ok.
For the second part, in which your phone after fully charged and left on charger lost some percentage after unplugging, it seems that Gingerbread stops charging once battery is full, and do not continue, even if charger is plugged in, once it'll lost some power. Some older phones does this (S45 for example).
Out of curiosity, what kernel are you using?

ok, as for battery stats i did the wipe, but i did not shutdown and do a full charge
as for kernel i did not really try on stock kernel though, i started using jv's series with CF's kernel or supercurio's hacked kernel.
maybe you are right that gingerbread stop charging after the battery is fully charged, but to my understanding i thought that is supposed it run on a/c once its fully charged? leaving the battery disconnect until you unplug it and it will starts to use the battery.
for froyo wise i presume it runs on a/c while leaving the battery disconnected, after overnight of full charged the phone is cool and don't feel like the battery is still "charging" after it reaches 100%
I had this problem too when i was with xxjvk. batterystats.bin was always automatically deleted by system once charger was connect/disconnect (couldnt remember...).
if the charger was unplugged right after fully charged notification, the phone worked perfectly fine and battery life was much better than with xsjw8..

And do you suffer battery drops after unplugging from already full charged for few hours?

Ok seems like jvb doesn't solve the issue... I'm on goatrips's jvb at the moment. I got the make sure that I unplug immediately after it said full charged otherwise the percentage would drop like 10-20% if I leave it connected overnight.
Wondering how come there is so many jvk/jvb tester/users around but seems no one mention about it.

Thanks for your reply but i have already tried this.
It also does not explain why it is fine charging from mains but not USB.
Notice that. Not sure whether its a bug. When it finishes charging, the sgs operate naturally and doesn't preserve the battery like it use to in the previous fw. So it drops immediately as the phone is disconnected. If the screen is left on during charging, it is a problem...

Anything ever come out of this? I'm using Serendipity VII for Cappy based of jvb. I'm seeing this regardless of the type charger I use. Once it hits 100%, the battery continues to show 100% until I remove the charger. Then it shows what I assume is the amount of battery left after powering the phone from the point it reached a full charge to the present. If I remove it immediately after full charge is reached, it reflects that. If I leave it on the charger for hours, it immediately drops reflecting the time spent since full charge.

Edit: thanks to this post, my problem has been solved. Thanks!
So last night I went from stock motorola 2.2 to this wonderful-seeming version of CyanogenMod on my UK milestone - the install went flawlessly, but now I have a problem - my battery is not charging at ALL.
While the phone was on last night after I charged it, it was plugged in, first to my PC and then to the wall socket. In both cases, the battery indicator had a ? (question mark) on it.
I thought it might have been some weirdness with battery calibration so I left it and plugged the phone in from the wall to charge overnight. This morning, my phone was telling me to connect my charger (despite it being plugged in) and on removing the power cable, it died due to no battery power left within 10 minutes.
While plugged in from the wall, the battery indicator comes up but again just contains a ? on it. The little white light next to the power socket never lights up.
If I plug the phone in to my PC via USB then if the handset is OFF, the white light comes on and around 10 mins later it gets enough juice to boot up. The problem is that when the CM7 software starts, the little white light disappears, the phone stops charging despite the cable being present, and it then dies 2 minutes later.
I know the battery is fine because it was perfectly fine before I installed CM7.
Anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix it?
One thing I did manage to do before it died was install a battery calibration app that I found on xda-developers - this told me that the battery was running at 3267 mV - any idea if that's good or bad?
(and yes, I'm using precisely the same cable/charger I was using before I put this version of CM7 on, so I know they are fine - they charge a friend's SGS with no problems)

Try plugging the phone into the wall charger, without the battery. Try and boot it up and let it boot. Once it's booted up, give it a bit and try and put the battery in and leave it to charge.
What happens if you turn off you phone and plug it in a wall charger? If the problem isn't in your battery it will charge fully.
When you phone comes up, try to disable the 1% battery steps in settings. I got a problem with it, and after disabled/enabled it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
On plugging it into a wall charger, the phone comes up with its special battery charging screen (i.e. a fullscreen battery level indicator) - no amount of pressing the power button seems to get it to boot properly (with or without the battery).
I'll see if I can get in and get rid of the 1% steps thing later, thanks for the suggestion

Dude, that was PERFECT.
Managed to get enough juice into the thing to get into the menu for a moment and was able to disable the 1% battery steps option - soon as I touch that tickbox, the battery indicator switches from a ? to the charging symbol and the phone starts charging. Thanks a million!
Nop dude, you are welcome
Well all started 3 days ago after I installed an app (I'm not blaming it) called Le Battery or something like that, then it said the app was saving me over 40% of battery. When it went to 29% I left it charging during the night, when I woke up my phone was completely charged, and the screen had a problem, it looked like when you are recording tv from a camera, or you put a phone under water without protection, the point is I unplugged it inmediately and it stopped, but it still was saying it was charing , so I rebooted it and everything seemed fine, when I plugged it back it dind´t charge, I tried another charger, but before I could plug it into the wall, it had the LED on, so my phone was charging the charger....:silly:
I took off the battery and that´s how I keept it since then, everythime I charge it I have to take off the battery and when I put it back in it has 94% charged If I plug the charger it will intantly say it has 100% and will stay like that until I take the battery again, the voltage stays at 4290 when it´s on 94% and already tried to charge it with an universal charger and it´s full, so the problem it´s my phone.
This is what I´ve tried:
1-Changed ROM 2 times (now I have DMod v5)
2- Factory reset
3- Wipe cache and the dalvik (or something like that)
Nothing worked
No luck, I´m about to die
Try to callibrate your battery.
This can help your problem.
