Hi guys, i bought a second hand Samsung Galaxy S Advance... The first phone user was female without any knowledge of update of softwares and stuffs like that... When i bought the phone it was running on Ginger Bread and i update it on official Jelly Bean firmware with kies... After update i noticed that my phone its charging faster than regular, from 20-100 % in one and half hours, it's not that bad isnt it... Phone battery was normal, no fast discharge, and its still normal but there is one problem... For example i use the phone and its acting normaly, i browsing, making calls, etc. when the phone comes under 50 % the battery drops percentage, for example from 46 % drops to 37 %, and after that the battery stays normal till next... I noticed after big drop of 8+ % there is 1 or more smaller 2-3% drops... I really tried everything, calibration, disharge the battery to 0% and recharge to 100%, deactivate apps but nothing worked for me... Did anyone have any idea what may be the reason for this, please let me know... Thank you

How many times did you charged/discharged from 0 to 100%? Indicator has some problems probably. Try to keep it more on charger, like hour-two.

I discharged the phone to 0 and i was charging it to 100 percent through the night, with the phone turned off... I checked the phone after 2 hours and it was at 93 percentage and i let it charge... I fold a sleep and when i woke up this morning i saw that my phone is on 70 percent charge i didnt disconected it i let it charge and after 5 min. i checked the phone again it was on 69 percent charge... That means that the phone is discharging now i disconected it, and the percentage fold from 69 to 65 in a min. and now the battery is acting normally... I made some calls, browse a little bit and played a game on tha phone and there is no fast discharge, the battery is acting properly... Im confused...

You are sure that charger is ok? Try to charge it on USB cable on PC.

Havent you noticed that when you charge the phone powered off it takes like 40 % more time for the batetry to charge but it also makes the battery last longer? is there any truth in this or im just crazy?

This is a very well know issue related to battery calibration. Take a look at the many calibration threads to learn about bump charging.
Basically, it takes longer with the phone off (or when you pull and put back the battery while charging) because in some cases android was stopping the charge before a full charge.
Try this
Charge your phone to 100% (inside android)
Turn you phone off
Reboot
Pull the battery before it boots
Wait for the ?
Put the battery back in and notice the %
If it says 60%, then you had 40% of your battery not being charge.
If you leave it in that spot and wait for it to go to 100%, your battery will be better calibrated.

and this hasnt been fixed even with gingerbread? yeah i have gotten the message saying it has 60 % :/
I pay no attention to the battery meter anymore. I've found that it just reads low. It's not that it doesn't get a fully charge, the phone can't read the level correctly. I tried draining the battery once by playing an episode of Top Gear with the screen on full brightness. The phone said the battery was at 5% but the video kept playing for another 1.5 hours.

Go with mV.
4200mV=100%
3200mV=0%

millivolt. there are other ways to read out this value... I'm using osmonitor, since it's installed anyways
My battery is dropping from 12% to 0% in a few seconds and phone shuts down.
See attached screenshots from battery graph and better battery stats.
During normal use until 13% discharge is normal.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I would like to see some feedback about this, as well. I'm experiencing the same thing.

I have google around but no real solution.
I have tried calibrating battry, let's see what happens
Battery calibration is something you should do!
If it doesn't work try different FTF Files for your device or even use PC Companion to repair your device...
If you could try custom roms it would be better because if the problem still remains it means there is a hardware problem(Probably battery replacement will be needed).
comeon, no one with a real good idea about source of the problem and its solution?

use your phone untill it turns off - boot into recovey with power then volume up
charge your battery while on recovery twrp from 0 to 100 ( leave it just to charge it may take up to 5 hours )
test again if worked fine on discharge from 12 to 0 so u have a kernel problem
you may change the kernel or try another rom

Ok, I have tried all possible methods
- using an app called BatteryCalibration
- using the charging mode suggested above
- deleting manually the battery stats file
Phone still goes from 12% to 0% in seconds and shuts down.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A KERNEL PROBLEM because I have the original .157 sony ROM, just rooted with a few crapware disabled
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A BATTERY PROBLEM because I have tried the following: when phone goes from 12% to 0% and shuts off, I plug it in, wait that it charges for say 10 minutes, turn it on, battery is at 4%, unplug it, phone runs for at least 40 minutes (it should shut down).
So it really seems to be a bad reading...
Hmm, i have same problem with battery , when battery is 32-35%, screen off dropping to 22-25% in some minute, but wheni test with screen on 32-35%, don't have problem
It difficult question to answer

It is not the same problem.
My problem is that when the phone (after several hours, also of intensive use) reaches 12% in a few seconds it drops to 11% then suddenly to 0% and it shuts down.
Then, If I charge it for 10 minutes, unplug and turn it on, battery is at 4% and lasts for another hour: this should prove the problem is not the battery but its reading.
And deleting batter stats is useless, besides this being a myth...

first screenshot is the normal of the battery
second screenshot when it starts to do the problem not a big problem
third pic is the problem big problem ( fast drain and fast charge )
also the fourth pic is how my battery last from 100 to 15 about 6 hours hardcore usage and after that 2 or 3 mins max 0 :/
i dont have this problem on sony stock rom 108 or 157 seems fine no fast drain or fast charge just on any other rom that problem happenes

I do have original z1 stock .157 rom and I while ago had not this problem.
And yes, it seems that from 100% to 12% it takes ages even with heavy use then suddenly in 3 seconds drops to 0%

i tested every kernel out there for cm11
it is about bad reading from battery
but as no offline charge on cm roms
so no calibiration
So what is the solution?
This morning it dropped from 42% to 21% in a minute and then to 0% in seconds. I put charger on, left it charge 3 minutes, turned it on, batt was at 5%, unplugged and phone remained awake for 20 minutes during use
There must be a way... Full reset maybe?

Same problem.
Tried
>PC Companion Repair
>Batt calibration
>flashing Stock rom using flashtool
Still drops to 0% when it reach 50%
Maybe a battery problem?
We experience it all by now maybe because our z1 is more than a year old and battery maybe affected?

Try this: when it reaches 50% and shuts down, while phone is off, plug it in, wait 10 minutes, turn it on and unplug it. Phone should be at 8% or so, and will last normally now.

Hello XDA Community.
I bought an HTC One off of eBay, and I've been using it for 3 days now (I had a VZW HTC One before but the restrictions from VZW were annoying, let alone the updates that come after 6+ months). I did notice a problem, which is a major issue, since I depend on my phone a lot in my everyday life. The problem is this: The battery seems to lose charge normally at 100% til' 80%, then faster at 80% to 50% and within an hour or maybe less of little to no use, the phone goes to 40-30% percent and then goes from 30% to 20% in seconds, 20% to 15% or 13% in less than 10 seconds, and basically goes from 40% or 30% to 0% in a minute or two (sometimes even 30 seconds or so). It is driving me crazy.
I have been watching the phone, and I noticed something really strange, which made me suspicious of this being a software problem.
I charge the phone and by the time it goes at around 30% (30 or 31 yesterday, 36 today) it just shows the battery without the charging indication (no green filling in the battery, it just shows an empty battery and said percentages). When I unplug and plug back in the phone continues charging, but at a 76 to 80% charge. I would really appreciate some help, and thank you in advance.

Hello my friend. I bought a battery replacement off of eBay and I will go to an expert to change it for me, as soon as possible. I will let you know if the problem is fixed, or if it insists.
Hello guys i have bought a note 8 from 7 days and i have Seen that battery percentual decrease quickly. In the morning after some minutes with only display unlock i loose 5%.
Is this normal?
Thank you
Dude dont charge your phone to 100% over and over all the night. You cant remplace easily the battery. Dont worry about your battery drain, I thinks is ok. Normally we got 6-7 hours of screen on time, so if you only lose 5% in 30 min... it mean you can get around 10 hours!

I charge my phone on a wireless charger base overnight and it stops charging when at 100% and no problems! Anyway, if you read the latest thoughts on charging, keeping the battery over 60% is best and no damage will be done by over night charging!

The best for a litium battery is stay in 40-60 percent. Charging more than 80% will also damage your battery life (but sooo much less than let it drain to 0%). Charging over night isnt good for a battery (at least I think it). Check AccuBattery, is a very nice app to battery management. And when you hit the 100% it stops, but will run again because you wont get a 99% while the phone are in the pad. Hope I help you ^^
Do you monitor your data? You could have some apps working in the background and using both your data and battery. Install a data monitor app to check which apps use your data.
I get 1.5 to 2.5 % drain per hour in idle, gps wifi and data off, aod on, sometimes even 0.9% per hour overnight
So before I take this bish in for a battery swap is anyone running the CRB1 Feb 9th build update and facing bizarre battery life activity?
Example-
After couple days of random battery % jumps after updating I completely killed the device last night. Charged it all night while device was off, turned it on this morning and unplugged it. Immediately upon disconnect from charger it dropped to 81%.
Had crap to do so ran around a bit. Got back home phone was on 10% so plugged it in. Soon as I plugged it in dropped from 10% to 5% then watched it count down 4% 3% 2% 1% then 0% in the matter of 15 seconds but stayed on and all while plugged in.
Maybe I should just use this as an excuse to buy a note 8 or hold out for the 9 lmao
