Im having some bad battery problems lately, namely the phone suddenly dying at aprox. 30 percent. sometimes after turning it back on it shows about 15 percent of battery left, then dies again. Fully charging the phone then fully draining it seems not to have solved it til now, I really need some help now! Thanks guys

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.

Ok this has been happening to me for awhile and i just want to know is this is "normal" or there is something wrong:
Lets say that my phone's battery is under %15 so i plug my cell to charge it....right? so now it has been plugged for a couple of hours and it show that is charging but very slow...and i have to wait like 8 hours to fully charge....but if i reboot my phone let say within 2 hours of charging after it reboot it shows that the battery is fully charge....is this normal?
doubt its normal but mine does the same. Charges for hours and hours but wont go past 85% but with a reboot 100% Same as if I charge it for like 30mins then reboot guess what full charge.
I had this problem at one time, it turned out I had the overclocking set to 528 at all times and this was killing the battery, even when charging. If you have this on, try turning it off. After that it was fine for me
I didn't notice this problem until the day before. My battery status is displaying 70% when the phone consider it to be fully charged.
I've drain it to 5% before charging overnight, but the status still display 70%.
I am not sure if this is a problem with my phone or the battery. Any help would be nice.
Try this but you need a rooted phone for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722862
it is just a status bar bug
the battery is probably fine
use Gauge Battery Widget instead to see the real stuff

Thank you for the link!! I am trying that now.
This is not the status bar problem as I've test out some of the widget.
The phone would only charge up to 70% no matter how long it will remain on the charge.
Going into the battery info in setting also indicated it is at 70%.
At this moment I am draining my phone with max brightness and everything turn on.
Start off at 70% at 9:30am and now (2:00pm) is at 3%
So I guess I should try to charge it full with the phone off
Did you recently flash firmware to your phone? Make sure your battery is fully charged whenever you flash firmware because it will clear the battery data. It seems to me all you need is a battery calibration. There is a procedure posted somewhere. IIRC, you need charg up the battery to 100%, power down, charge 100%, power up again and repeat a few times.
I had the same problem.
After a day of charging the battery fully charged notification appears. As soon as I unplug it the battery immediatly jumps to 70%.
Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps reflashing when the phone is fully charged (which is currently 70%).
I tried the rm /system/data/batterystats.bin but did not remedy this problem.
Same problem here. It has been this way for a month. Tried calibration, different batteries, different ROMS....everything.
who can help?
using alternative battery widget is not an option if battery stats from settings also displays 70% max
this is very unusual problem - i would suggest:
1) install https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration (phone needs root)
2) drain battery to 0%
3) take out battery for 5-7 minutes
4) put it back and turn on and drain again
5) repeat untill phone will not turn on
6) while still off charge phone to 100%
7) disconnect charger power on the phone, let it boot and use the battery calibration app
8) now let the phone discharge with normal usage untill it powers off (do not reboot, power off during discharge)
9) put the phone to charger, turn it on and let it charge to 100% wo reboots/poweroffs
should be fine
let me try tomorrow..I have similar issue..

Today, over night charge from 70% to 79%
have you followed my tutorial from this post -> LINK
also can you dial *#*#4636#*#* pick battery information and make a screenshot, then another after a minute or two ...
I made this thread over in the captivate forums, it explains the issues in detail

What rom/kernal are you guys using?...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
concentrate on points 2 to 5 of my 'tutorial' and for god sake use only original charger
and yes, what kernel
Hey Somator, I am trying your tutorial now. I drained my battery to 0% on my phone. I then would boot it up, it would register 1%, then turn off.
I then put my battery in a coworkers phone today and it read 40% when it previously read 0% on mine. So I depleted the battery on his phone, reinserted it into mine, and I am now currently charging it to 100% while it is off. I will let you know how the rest turns out.
I have tried calibration procedures on stock rom, MIUI, CM7, I9000, and I897 Roms.
drain the battery on his if you can and then charge on yours
after that wipe battery stats with https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
//edit: oh you did exact that - well should be fine from now - still wierd why it just 'decalibrated' by so much in the first place
the original charge has helped me, everything is fine
In case someone is looking for an answer here (considering this is the thread that comes at the top of Google's search results), this is what worked for me:
1. Take the battery out.
2. Plug phone into wall charger.
3. Put the battery back in the phone.
4. Let it charge for an hour. Mine said 5% the entire time it was plugged.
5. Remove phone from charge. Remove battery. Put them all together again.
I hope this works for others.

I have Verizon note 4 that can not be rooted, any other options?
Hi all, i have a bug on my phone's battery. today i installed a Rom (Evervol RunnyCM) beacouse i think it can fix my problem. I Always used RUU realeased by HTC , but when i installed ICS from "System Update" on Settings menu, i have a bug on battery. I charge my phone all the night, and on morning i have green led, so i think my phone i charged. when i leave him from charge, after 2 minutes, it turns off, and when i restart my phone, i have 50% battery. Sometimes, when i get in charge my phone and i have around 10-20%, after 2 minutes of charge, i have 100% battery charged and green led. when i leave him from charge, it turns off, and i have about 5-10% of power remaing. What the f*** happens on my phone?

i have this bug, too !!!
Please help
This battery bug is a known problem for quite some time, it can have different behaviours from user to user but basically, when you restart your phone you lose around 10% of battery, but the battery power is still there, for example you can charge it to 100%, restart it a couple of time and feel the real power of 50% battery for 1 day
Me and anders tried to repair this but with not too much success, i could say the simptoms were aleviated but that's pretty much it, the battery driver seems to me to have been developed in an internship, has lot's of TODO and FIXME in the sources.
Hope this helps
so, i can't fix this? i go to buy a new battery...
How can I calibrate my unrooted phone
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
You can't. Even if you are rooted.
Run your battery all the way down until it shuts off. Charge, uninterrupted, until fully charged. Voila! Battery calibrated.
Battery calibrating apps/techniques have been useless for quite some time.

My phone has gone through many charge and shutdown cycles and not even this has changed my 5% shutdown.
Have you tried leaving your phone plugged in after 100%? Let it trickle charge for an hour or two.
The battery 'calibration' stuff that people do is what android does automatically after getting to nearly full charge.
It hasn't been needed since gingerbread.
I have had this issue happen a few times, what I do is plug it in to turn it on , then try to run it down till 0 and then put it on charge while off till its 100% and leave it there for a few hours. Then after a few cycles, this occurs again. I dont charge in the middle, always charge at night until 100% and 30 minutes beyond that.
Hi all,
2 days ago I decided to calibrate battery, which is done by fully charging phone, then fully discharging phone with normal use. But phone turns off at 1% and doesn't fully discharge, so I turned it back on and stayed alive for 40mins at highest brightness watching videos on Facebook until finally turned off.
Then fully charge your phone while device is off, (but because device fully drained will be a bit tricky to charge it, don't know why, look like keeps 1% of charge to save charging settings or something) anyway, after a few attempts of plug in and un plug I managed to get it charging, and charged in full.
Result:
Better battery life, obviously. And the strange one is that refresh rate drop when unlocking device as stopped and device is smooth everytime, been over 2 days now without a single drop. Not sure how is this related but this happened with me, free to try it if you wish.
Thought to share my experience.
Happy to answer questions
How did you turned on? After i get the notification that in 30 seconds phone will shutdown, it does shutdown and when i keep pressed the power button its powering, showing mi logo then one logo with empty battery and shuts down again.
