Ever since I updated to 4.3, my battery life sure has been strange! I charge it overnight, sometimes over 12 hours, and when I take the battery off the charger, it reads to only 85%! Up till today I would leave it off the charger for a while and then it would charge the rest of the way. Then, today, I took it off the charger, waited about an hour and put it back on. The battery stalled at 85% no matter how long I left it on the charger.
This started after I took the OTA update. I rooted after I took the update and changed to the Stock With Goodies rom. I'm on Stock With Goodies 2.03 now. I did a full wipe before flashing 2.03, so I don't think a full wipe is the answer.
Is this just a bug with 4.3? What can I do about it?

Stock rooted, and while it charges to 100%, when I unplug it, it goes down to 97% or so. I have now started turning it off and letting it charge until notification light turns green and that seems to stick.

Well, I'm glad I'm not alone. And thank you for offering your help. But I can't afford to turn the phone off for an extended period of time right now. So does anyone have any other solutions?

Yup, you should always calibrate your battery anytime you flash a new Rom or update.

Get battery calibration off of android market (assuming you have root) then charge to the point that battery calibration says your battery is at 4200mV (full charge) and press the calibrate button. Unplug your phone and let it drain to the point that it shuts itself down, then charge completely to 100%.

Yeah that's actually lower than normal. Batteries display their median voltages. A 3.7 volt battery fully charged is 4.2 volts, and completely drained (for my battery at least) is 3.2 volts. 3 volts is kinda low, but maybe you have a different phone model or battery.

"some up"? Ok... go to CWM->Advanced->Wipe Battery Stats ... if doesn't work, do a full wipe or reflash ROM, you are using...
Woke* auto correct lol, and o do this after every ROM flash and this wouldn't affect that anyway, its not done it before, only to 98% or something but I read that it does this it will reach 100% the stop charging to preserve the battery, but dropping to 88% is a bit extreme I think I'm losing like an hour of battery life

This is a calibration problem caused exactly by you wiping your battery stats, you need to leave them alone and after each flash do a full empty to full charge cycle so the stats can provide proper calibration statistics, I have never wiped battery stats in 2 years of owning my phone
I always do this after a wipe, wait till fully charged>wipe stats>discharge fully>recharge fully

Ok, I know the point you are making but I personally think it does more harm than good.... Does it drop straight down the moment you remove the charger?
I don't know if it might be a battery problem, or if the CM9 Nightly build I'm currently on holds a charge really well, but sometimes I charge my phone up to 100%, then after about 30 minutes of continuous, non-stop usage, the battery is still at 99%.
Is this odd behaviour or is it normal?

No it only charges to 88% unless I remove charger then plug it back in again then it will charge to 100%, I think its because the phone charges to 100% then drains then charges, but I think its failing to start charging once it drops to a certain limit (say 10%) so normally it would charge to 100% drop to 90% then charge to 100% so it doesn't damage the battery, but as I said I think its failing to start charging again so it just keeps falling... I need a fix for this? And yes it is a cm9 base

I've always been wondering: is it possible to "damage" the battery or lose some of it's juice by doing wipe battery stats to many times?

I plugged in my phone for 20 seconds and I went to check for email notifications and to my amazement it's fully charged.
This is now another possibility in battery issues. I know I'm using a faulty device (that's why I ordered a RMA) but this is kinda odd so I thought I'd share it with you guys.
Let's hope this instant charge sticks lol. I went from 7% to 100% in 20 seconds.

This happens when you plug in the phone and the wall charger has no voltage, e.g. because you use a switch that is off. If you switch it on, the glitch occurs and the phone is instantly charged. Of course that's not really the case, though. Rebooting solves this most of the time.

I think this is correct. I've had this happen 3 times in 6 months and it's only happened when I plug the phone into the charger right after plugging the charger into the wall.
I've since tried to leave the charger plugged in about 10-20 seconds before attaching the phone and it hasn't happened since (~3 months)

Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!

If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

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.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I just updated to 4.3 ROM, firmware, radio, plugged the charger and went to sleep. After I woke up (9 hours) phone was at 87%. Let it another hour, still the same. Than rebooted and 100%. IDK maybe the new firmware messed smth? I'll try again later and report back

Mine has improved as well, actually. Before, it would take a very long time to charge fully. Especially that 99-100% gap. It would literally take 20+ minutes to go from 99 to 100. Made no sense. Battery charging and life seem to have been much improved since the update.
The one thing that hasn't changed as that as soon as it fully charges, I can still unplug it and plug it back immediately and see the battery percent drop. Usually goes from 100 back down to 96-99%. I have never once, since I've had the phone, had it stay at 100 after unplugging and replugging immediately. Weird.
Mine actually charges faster and I get better battery life. I would do a clean install. Running 4.3 stock with goodies.
