My SGT is having a strange battery percentage problem. The battery was at 95% and the unit was on flight mode last night with no apps running. This morning it was dropped to 78% (over about 6.5hrs). So I turned it off and restarted, the battery percentage was back to 94%.
For some reasons, the battery percentage is dropping way too fast until I restart the unit, it seems like android is reporting a wrong battery percentage. Or could it be the battery? Does anyone experience the same problem? Any solution? And what is the normal power consumption under flight mode for other SGT user?
I just did a hard reset (wipe cache/data and reset to factory) to see if it helps and I am not installing any apps just to keep it in stock condition.
Thanks!
Generally, about 3% lose of bettery during the whole night with mobile on, while power meter may go wrong on Android devices, for example XT701 is.

So the XT701 has the same problem? How do they resolve this?
I start to think if I should take it to Samsung for repair.
Any help guys??
Would flashing a new firmware help the situation? I am tired of rebooting the tab so often just to get the right battery percentage report.
Other than this issue, the tab is PERFECT. I just wanna get this over with and enjoy using it.
Still looking for helps.....
Galaxy Grand Quattro: battery is fine, just the prob is with the indicator
Galaxy Grand Quattro : while charging it suddenly jumps from 78% to 100% and asks to unplug the charger. When i unplug it it shows 78 or 80% back again !!! I believe that this is related to software issue. So i have done a factory reset, but no use. someone pls help if this is a known issue.. Googled abt it but dint fine anything there.. Thanx in advance.

Have u tried a different charger? It might be the charger not working as supposed. Also how old is the battery and is it an OEM? It might be old and not working right also

My battery drain very fast after upgrade to ics stock rom.
Got any way to solve it, like settings, etc?
you could use the built in power saver mode.
But we need to find the culprit, Install a monitoring app and /or check the battery stats regularly to see whats causing it.
How did you update to ICS ? Did you do a full wipe before hand ?
direct upgrade thru kies without wipe data
ok, well do not wipe data until you flash a safe kernel.
monitor your battery over the next few days with a monitoring app like watchdog or similar
if it doesnt improve, we will look at doing a wipe and starting from fresh
well....got the same prob....am on rocket rom v7...
the issue is that the battery drains really fast when m connected to h+ network!!
i even put the fone on flight mode and kept it like tat whole night and in the morning cpu spy showd that the fone was on sleep for awmst 7 hours, and the battery drain was just 3 percent!!so tat seems awrt!!
i jus dunno why the battery drains so fast when m connected to the network!!
plzzz a soln will be appreciated!!
Thanxx!!
Maybe you could try a different radio ??
If your current radio isnt finding a strong signal, your phone will be constantly searching for something better, Thus resulting in a lot of drain

It is probably just L2_hsic bug.
Just reboot the phone and search the forums for ways to prevent causing the bug.

I test one method, 3 day, seem like work to reduce battery drain issue.
1. turn off phone
2. remove battery for 2 min
3. plug in battery
4. start phone
This 1 i read from web site/forum.
Ok, first, I looked around and tried stuff like battery calibration etc. but no luck, here's what happened:
I got my galaxy ace and rooted it with CF-ROOT, flashed it using the recovery menu that stock already had.
Phone was ok for 1 week, then it started sucking battery like crazy (also charges too fast), 100% lasts something like 5mins...
(at this point it was still stock with rooted kernel)
Flashed a CM ICS ROM from the forum => same results with battery
Went back to stock, no root anymore => battery still the same
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Why didn't you use the normal .zip that just adds super user? Maybe we have the same type of Ace that is completely incompatible with flashed kernels. Brings battery problems. Only kernels you can use are the ones that come with the rom you installed.
Reflash stock rom and root using any other .zip around the forums.
Because you said you charge it too fast. Try to charge it for 3 hrs. If u see 100 % that doesn't mean that it is fully charged already

Do this, full use your battery till it totally gets dry and charge it to 100% without break..note that your phone should switch off conditon while charging to 100%..

Is your battery swelled? I mean, is it bulging outside when you place the battery inside the phone?
If yes, then you need to get a new phone

What do you mean by normal zip? As I said, I flashed stock back, no more rooted kernel, but it's still draining battery, shouldn't it have gone back to normal with stock? Should I root again with this normal zip to be able to solve the problem?
Maybe your battery is "gone" (I mean cannot charge anymore). If you can try your phone with another battery borrowed from a friend or buy a new one cheap to be sure the problem is the battery and not the phone. The last option for me is to buy a new original battery a give a try. If you have a method to test the battery out of the phone is best. Good luck

Do 1 thing. Recharge for a long time till 100% . Choose a stock based rom like sgs2 v10. Do full wipes, delete battery stats.bin, Format data,cache, system, sd-ext ( if any ) & flash rom. Reboot & try battery. If it's still the same, go get a new battery..

hey, try this app called nova battery tester. It will tell you a lot about your battery's condition.
You can find it on the play store.
Also check whether your phone is entering deep sleep.

I tried that, the friend's battery on my phone had the same behaviour, and my battery on friend's phone worked fine... so it can't be the battery
Why the hell it won't just work normal if I flashed stock back?

Tried recharging for long time, no luck, also tried many "battery calibration" apps also with no result.
I'm guessing buying a new battery won't solve anything either given the results with the friend's battery
Have you checked your CPU behavior ? Which states it is in, etc
Use CPU spy to find out

1. Un-root then root again using the normal method which just adds SU.
2. Try charging for 2-3 hours. Sometimes it displays 100% though the battery level might be as low as 15%
3. Do you do over-night charging/ charge for very long durations/ play lots of games during charging? In that case your battery is over-charged. Check it. It should be puffed up a bit. If this is the case then, sorry mate, but you'll just have to get a new battery. And don't ignore this problem. Trust me, as bad as it is, it's all downhill from here.

So, I have the SweetRom V5 and my battery goes down really fast. Like 1% every minute. But thats not my main problem. When i get to about75 - 50% of my battery level. My screen fuzzes with some wierd lines all over the screen. They are white and look like electricity bolts or something like that.
They go all over the screen and my phone turns off instantly. I reboot and it sais i have less than 10% battery left when i had 70% a minute ago.
I usuallylock the screen when they appear and wait a couple of seconds and they are gone. But then they come back again. Ive tried calibrating my battery with apps and myself but it doesnt work
Anyone have suggestions?
First check for apps that are draining the battery. It could be because the phone is not doing sleep so the battery is draining even when screen off
Also try a different battery.

I am sure its not a rom issue..i used the same rom & I didnt face any issues..as per my experience (& many other's) Sweet rom's are very much stable & have very very less (or zero) issues..as nokiamodel said try checking the apps draining the battery using battery stats & check deepsleep using cpuspy..if it wont help fixing the issue, try reflashing the same rom..

Make sure you wipe data/cache/& dalvik cache before you flash it. I have never seen or heard of this issue so as posted above it is not a ROM issue. A clean flash should fix your problem.
Thanks guys ill do that. I had the same probpem on rocketrom too. Its most probably my battery. Thabks again

A month or so back I started facing weird problems with my year old Galaxy Note, n7000:
1. After reboot, the battery would go down by 15-20% and then without charging the battery %age would gradually increase by 5-10%
2. lots of flickering on screen followed by auto shutdown whenever the battery %age went below 15-20% after normal usage
3. Very poor battery backup (I blamed most of this to the Rom Mods I had been installing at that time- only partially correct!)
I am sure that many of you might have been facing such problems and running from forum to forum to get a solution- I did.
Solution:
Get your battery replaced- most of us have had our Note for a year and some months now...life of the battery is approx 1 year for regular use, thus, the stock battery that we got with our Note is well past....
I never faced the above problems after battery replacement!
Hope this helps others like me!!

I'm on the very same situation. Battery that cames with NOTE is exhausted now so I have got a new one just to find out now problem is even worse!! It can begin flickering with 40% juice battery!
The new replacement battery seems to be 100% samsung's original but... who knows??

I got rid of the damn problem after getting new ones...Is it possible that the batteries you bought are not genuine/fake?
Which ROM are you on- the Stock one or some mod-rom?
When I was searching for a solution to my battery issues some members suggested battery-calibration and full charge-full discharge cycle to get rid of the problem. Both the solutions suggested at that time did not work for me.
There was also a solution about cleaning the mini-USB connector which gets seriously dirty collecting grime from our pant pockets! That did work for me initially when the battery was good.
Please let me know if any of the above helps you.

Guys - Me too have the same issue, but this started immediate after updating the Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It never happened while on official ICS.
I could observe the battery is very much thick now, which is a symptom of over charging. The screen flickers and brings phone down abnormally.
After connecting the charger for a 5 seconds, suddenly the battery level shoots to original state from where it went down. Most frustrating, it happens very frequently.
I am not sure if the same will persist even after replacing with a new battery. Or I would need to go back to ICS again.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
If the battery is bloated then it's better to get a new one.
Erm... is this thread still up?
I just wanted to know if the bloated battery would cause boot issues, stuck on the model screen?
I would guess the problem is with the bloated battery's voltage is insufficient to power up the systems... i guess
I need confirmations... thank you in advance

That never happened to me with a bad battery. What version of Android are you running?
i changed my battery just a two weeks before and the battery backup has decreased very much
can someone help me how to check whether my battery is in good shape or not ?
What do you mean with "battery backup"? Maybe "capacity"?

4.1.2 xxlsz deodexed by eybee
The problem is, after I restored most of my data, apps and system data separately, the screen flickers a little bit and then the restore process completed without any problem. After that I restart the phone, stuck at the model screen only for unknown reason. The data is also from previous xxlsz which I had trouble with some system app crashed but fixed by returning to another backup though.
So, currently I'm leaving the phone without any data restored, only stock fresh out of the box xxlsz with titanium backup only installed. So far the phone is quite stable, I've turned off the adaptive power adjustment in display as well as lowest brightness just in cast it might occur again.
I've been reflashing xxlsz a lot this morning, over 3-5 times due to stuck in boot logo and model screen. Even though flashed the latest philz 4.90.8, it would just revert back to the old philz 4.8x with cwm 6.0.2.8
One last thing, my batter bloated pretty bad about half of it has been expanded. I mean from the bottom part (no copper connections), half of it has reached out of the body.
Well,
hppend to me b4, flickering issue below 10%. It was bloated. Bought new one. Bloated again after 6months. Again, bought a new one and it can last only 7 hrs without switch on data.
This is what we get from massive production company.

I seem to have the same issue
1. Battery drains rather bad
2. Screen flickering
3. Auto shutdowm
Used the battery in my wifes n7000 , however no issues at all
Only seem to happen on my phone.
I flashed it to stock std 4.1.2 , however problem still persist. auto shutdown few times a day
Gets worse when i use an external SD
@amogh you can check your battery voltages and battery temperature and compare that to optimum values. you can also use apps like AnTuTu battery tester.

Flashing another rom again wont solve much of the problem, if you happens to have the phone stuck in around bootloop and able to go into cwm, brace yourself, this process can get very repetitive to solve because a mere battery able to do such a problem.
