Just when I think I've got it all setup nicely...
Latest AOSIP rom with Hellscore kernel, stock settings greenify, full discharge and recharge, all seemed so good....
And then boom. Go to reboot to recovery and I get the little empty battery icon upon reboot - but I was at around 40%?!
I use the battery calibration app, for what it's worth knowing the debate about the battery stats file. I've done the bootloader logs 'trick' and still I get a random occurrence like this?!
Anyone else been plagued with this randomly happening to them?
There are so many reasons it can happen. on thing id recommend is install ampere form play. Using this you should be able to monitor the voltage of the battery and at least know that it is operating within the correct range. if your 0% voltage is too high, it could rule some stuff out.

Cool. Just periodically check the app and jot down the percentage and voltage. keep doing that until its ready to shut down. preferably a reading every 10-15% if you can but really important is to try and capture readings just before and after any drop off you may see.

Perfect thanks for the advice, I've got it installed and now juts doing a full charge.
Following that drop out, the device then reported 7% battery so I let that go flat and now fully recharging.
If it's the case that there is something going on here, how can the issue be corrected? Does Ampere help configure reported VS actual readings, or does it purely show what's being drained?

Its worth getting a voltage reading now too then, to see if it is as low as expected. As for solution, we need a root cause first.

Ok here is my first screen. I'd browsed Facebook (web version) and watched a video or 2, battery dropped to 97% soon after.
Yep. Just keep going. Every 10% is fine. No more than that. Actual battery charge is voltage so we just want to see if there are any conflicting data sets later on

It just did it again!!?
I had even doing the Ampere monitoring but didn't go all the way down. But today I just experienced the random drop out again. Strangely when I booted back up, it was as if the cache had been wiped as the Android Optimising app screen came on.
This was from the other day though, if this helps?
The other day did it seem to deplete normally? I'm around 20%/right now and see similar voltage to you.
Sometimes my phone used to crash and when it booted up I had this graph / drainage issue. It's as if it goes into some manic sleep that kills everything. What you've got here seems similar. I don't think there's an issue with the battery cycle itself.
I'd be tempted to do a factory reset and start clean to be honest.
Is the back of your N6 lifting away from the frame? I had this issue too and ended up doing a RMA because the battery was bulging.

Just took off my case and checked and all seems normal, back doesn't appear to be coming away and seems to be ok.
It's times like this I miss my good old Note 3, never had a battery life like it for its flat lining ability!! (see attached)
If it were the battery capacity due to bloating, I would expect to see the Voltage value to be wrong
Go back to stock and run it with no restored apps / data. If it still happens RMA

Your battery calibration is messed up. It happens.
DO NOT waste your time with "battery calibration app" -- there is NO software you can install and run from Android that will have ANY impact AT ALL on the battery calibration. All those "battery calibration" programs do, is delete the battery stats file, and all the battery stats file does, is store a log of what programs are responsible for how much resource utilization -- nothing at all to do with calibration.
Battery calibration reset is done through the BOOTLOADER.
Reboot your phone to bootloader. Scroll to "bootloader logs". Press and hold power button until the phone shuts down.
And that is all there is to it.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I have tried this many times and so there must be more to it than this. On my latest rom, I had wiped phone and clean flashed whilst phone was connected and at 100%. Therefore a new clean install whilst phone was at 100%. I cleaned that stats (for what it was worth) and also did the bootloader logs trick. I would have thought that would have solved the issue, but as reported it still happened.

Your calibration is fine because the % matches up to the voltage, which is all calibration matches.

It's hard to say. It seems like the system may be crashing or something at that time and causing an inordinate drain. Thats what mine used to do sometimes.

This seems to be quite a common and somewhat obscure at the same time.
Many people have reported installing a new rom or even just powering up their phone and seeing a battery % much different from what they expect. Most often much lower than it should be. Evidently this corrects itself after some time but it's a real problem if your display reads <15% because you really have to plug it in then, even with you know you have 90% battery!
So, here's the solution after testing it under different circumstances over a few days:
Simply boot your phone when it is not plugged in to a power source and battery % will be accurate.
That simple. Silly LG!
So, if you flash a new rom, unplug the USB cable before you reboot...
Hit 'Thanks' below for the 50 reboots I did to prove this...

Sorry to say the same..
Even while charging with the phone shut down, pulling it off the charger and then booting this happens. On my phone I have experienced it on all MCR's.
It's really not a big deal as long as the battery performs as Stock 10b, that build has been stable batterywise on my phone. But staying stock isn't too much fun
Well, every time I charge, whether I reboot/shut down before unplugging or not, my charge always maxes out at 96%.
Annoying and I'd like it sorted if at all possible.
Anyone?..........lol

ye i got that exact same issue i was wondering why that was happening and hoped that a simple reboot would fix it but its a bit more complicated than that i suppose...
also the battery reset in cwm didnt fix the loading till 97% w/e percentage.
when i install the stock rom it allows me to load it till 100% though pretty weird stuff -.-

I had a replacement netbook battery that could only max to 90%. So, over the weekend, I practically drained it to 0% (not a healthy practice for Li-ion batteries but I was desperate). Took out the battery for a while, and then recharged for several hours. Well, it seems to get up to 100% now.
Perhaps you could try using the the phone until it very low on battery before recharging. Maybe the charging process in the phone needs some sort of recalibration. But should not be doing this all the time as it will reduce Li-ion battery longevity.
Let mine totally die last night so it wouldn't even turn on at all. Took out and replaced battery and then charged it overnight and hey-presto, when I unplugged it this morning, it stayed at 100%.
Solved indeed....for me anyway. Feel free to try the same and post your results.

I'll be sure to try your tip man. But not easy drain it completely when I always need the phone :=)
I guys! I've got the same problem.
I think that it could depend on the "full battery popup FIX" that Paul introduced in his roms by the FR8.
So I would like to ask Paul if you can create a patch to remove that fix. Just to try it!
According to me, incorrect battery amount depend on a wrong voltage read error (offset introduced?) by the rom. :blink:
In my case, I have followed many times battery wype procedure without positive issue. The matter leaves only by flashing original roms.
I think that if Paul have written a wrong battery values range (to delete the battery full popup) that can be traduced in an incorrect battery status displays.

Perhaps, but you can not conclude it was introduced by MCR. You logic is wrong there.
Even without "battery full popup fix" it doesn't work good...
Battery level, when unpluged, stay at 100% for 2 minutes afterwards drop down fast until 85% then drain normally...
I'm getting huge battery display problems no matter what I do.
When I took it off the charger this morning, it said I had 100%... thats fair enough. However it stayed at 100% all day, so to "refresh" it this evening I restarted the phone, and low and behold it now says I have 27% left. But again, it's just sticking at that value, even with me now plugging the phone into the wall to charge. It simply says "Charging (27%)" and won't budge, likely until I restart the phone again.
Sometimes it works fine, it seemed to be doing ok last night before I put it on the charger. Any tips/suggestions? Is this something likely to be fixed when the Gingerbread update rolls around?
This is my first real smartphone, and am fairly annoyed as its giving me a fair few problems that I've not had from other electronic devices.
As I stated in another thread, I had the same issue while on MoDaCo Fr12. However, after reverting back to stock, the battery percentage is spot-on and I'm getting up to 48 hours use out of it.
Draw your own conclusions.

That sounds super, but I'm still on stock too. About the only things of note I've done are root and switching to Launcher Pro. Oh, and Clockwork Mod of course. Perhaps a complete reboot is needed, we'll see how it goes.
Saying that - since charging, my phone has been at 90% all evening, until right this moment when it changed to 89%. It's less than I'd expect on this type of phone for 3-4 hours use (or lack thereof, I've barely touched it), but it's a start eh?
Welcome to the world of smartphones my friend. I've had various handsets over the last 4 years from iphone to android and a day and a half out of the battery is about average......at best. ;-)
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Just to clarify, what I meant in my previous post was that I was expecting to battery to drop a lot more than it did. The fact that it only went down 1% in several hours of use prompted me to think that the battery value was messed up.
As it is, I've not charged my phone in the 36 hours since, and it tells me I have 73% battery left. Perhaps it is performing extremely well after all? If that's the case then I'm more than happy with it, but being the pessimist I'm still expecting the phone to turn off sometime with the battery reporting incorrect values.
so i understand the calibration gig, or at least superficially think i do, but i'm having a problem. as soon as i charge to 100 and click calibrate it immediately says it was successful without allowing me to drain the battery. this didn't use to happen. somehow i don't think i'm calibrating properly anymore. thoughts? am i completely off base and this is correct?
thanks in advance everyone

What do you mean by "allowing me to drain the battery"? When I click calibrate I immediately get that message as well and disconnect my phone from the charger. That's how it's always been for me.
that's reassuring. i meant that after pressing calibrate we're supposed to drain the battery for it to go successfully
Oh I guess this app doesn't work that way? I don't know I've never done that.
the way I understand it is that when you press calibrate, all it does is delete the battery stats file in the system. the reason you need to discharge it after that is because on the first full cycle the system will rebuild that file correctly to the ROM you are using.
Dear fellow enthusiasts,
since a couple of days, I'm experiencing sudden device crashes when I'm using it for network related activities, mostly over the 3G network (for example, I'm typing out a message on the Facebook app, and the phone goes into boot loop or simply "shuts down"). I had only recently upgraded to the 4th beta build for the Cyanogenmod 9, hosted here on XDA , so I suspected it would be related to this. However, upon reinstalling both the previous version and the new mod from absolute scratch, the issues remained the same.
I had noticed that after each crash, the battery charge displayed as very low (2-6%), whereas I'm certain the charge should be much higher. So I thought it might be some sort of corrupt battery-cache issue or something.
However, and here's my actual question, I just now noticed that my I9001 battery is slightly bulged, on both ends. This bulge starts just above the white printed SAMSUNG lettering, and it ends just bellow the QR code. I can't for the life of me remember if or not this is normal, so could someone please confirm this for me?
And while we're at it, could a faulty battery affect my performance as such (making my phone crash etc)?
Thank you very much in advance for any help or information anyone could give me.
I confirm, battery is slightly bulged in those places but it looks like a production "thing" to me (I hope I understood what you mean), no need to worry, I guess. Looks like corrupted battery stats, try to wipe it via recovery (phone fully charged, plugged in - then wipe battery stats). After that, i recommend one or two full battery discharge - charge cycles. I've noticed hovever, that after each full factory reset I have for about 20% better battery drain, than after flashing many ROMs, kernels and updates (cache and dalvik cache wipe only), my battery drain is getting pretty annoying. Try a full factory reset, if wiping battery stats didn't work.

I have the exact same problem with my sgs i9000-gt.
My phone turn off itself ( no restarts, its a complete shutdown ).
First, I thought i might be a problem of GB 2.3.6 rom i was using, so i updated to latest cm10 but the problem persists.
If you restart the phone after the shutdown than i shuts down within a minute again.
Also the battery drain is pretty fast. I notice the same bulges on the battery as reported in this post.
I did the battery calibration thing as some people suggested, but that does not solves the problem. However, it got rid of the fast changes in battery status which was happening before. Like when you restart after shutdown at 80% battery status, it will show like 2% battery left and after few minutes of charging it would boost back to 80-90%.
But still the battery drain is pretty fast. It discharges from 98% (i cannot get to 100% charge, 98% is highest) to 50 % within an hour, just idling.
And when i am around 40% or so and if i recieve some message and try to open a app it shuts down again.
I have ordered a new battery just in case. Will update here if that improves things for me. But i will still like advice on which is a more economical kernel and rom for i9000-gt? Some people suggested slim bean + semaphore on some forums but i would like to have some more concrete advice before i change more things without knowing the source of the problem. I would be grateful if someone can suggest what is best to use with some details( version, etc). Thanks for that in advance.
I thank you all (users + developers) for all the useful information provided on this forum, i learnt a lot although i still am not able to fix my problem . And I hope someone might come up with a concrete solution for this problem. If there is a solution which I might have missed, I thank you in advance again and hope you will be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
cheers
update: the phone stays alright if u dont do anything on it, but the moment you being doing something on it other than playing with system settings, like run some app, especially something that uses network / wifi, it shuts down. none of this happens though while its plugged in. it happens only when its on battery.
problems fixed so far after replacing the battery

I flashed back to stock samsung rom ( from the value pack) and the problem persisted.
today my new battery arrived and all the forementioned problem seems to be gone with the new battery, my phone seems to be working fine for last 5 hrs without any restarts or crazy battery drain. will test the same with custom roms again. As of now it only seems that problem was the battery.
Cheers.

I don't know how to explain this... Hope you'll understand me. So my phone was full charged so i put out the charger and i go to school. After 6 hours i came back and my battery was at 50%. I was surprised but when i tried to call someone my phone died. So when i starded battery was at 3%. Same thing today, i put out my phone from charger after 2 hours i tried to do 2 photos and *bam* died - 3% battery.
There is a screenshot so you can see what i mean. Can you tell me what is the problem? Hope you understand me
wow, that's a HUGE drain. I recommend installing a wakelock detector to see what is causing that huge drain on your phone
This is how you would go about using the app to find the issue.
1) Install the app from google play "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery"
2) Open it
3) Once it opens, reboot your phone
4) Once it reboots, leave it for 5 mins
5) Unlock your phone and open the wakelock detector
6) Check the bar at the top to see if your phone was asleep and how long it was asleep for (should be around 4 mins)
If it is 4 mins or above, then your phone should not be having battery drain, ensure you are swiping away apps after use.
If your phone was awake the whole time, then you will be able to see what is causing this and you should uninstall this app
Also, you should enable the power saving option to maximise battery life.
Make sure you charge the phone while its turned off, apps can interfere with the charging process while the phone is one, this could also be the cause of your drain, so turn off and then charge.

I don't know how to explain this... Hope you'll understand me. So my phone was full charged so i put out the charger and i go to school. After 6 hours i came back and my battery was at 50%. I was surprised but when i tried to call someone my phone died. So when i starded battery was at 3%. Same thing today, i put out my phone from charger after 2 hours i tried to do 2 photos and *bam* died - 3% battery.
There is a screenshot so you can see what i mean. Can you tell me what is the problem? Hope you understand me

:laugh:was kidding with you. Just follow sj advice, install this app, to see what thing is draining your battery.

wow, that's a HUGE drain. I recommend installing a wakelock detector to see what is causing that huge drain on your phone
This is how you would go about using the app to find the issue.
1) Install the app from google play "Wakelock Detector-Save Battery"
2) Open it
3) Once it opens, reboot your phone
4) Once it reboots, leave it for 5 mins
5) Unlock your phone and open the wakelock detector
6) Check the bar at the top to see if your phone was asleep and how long it was asleep for (should be around 4 mins)
If it is 4 mins or above, then your phone should not be having battery drain, ensure you are swiping away apps after use.

Seems normal to me, deep sleep is good. Ask here, in the WD thread, maybe someone could help you. Better than post it here. Have a nice day.

I think WD thread is the best place to ask & WD will help you only to detect which app is draining your battery.

Ok, there is no specific app that is causing that your problem. So do you charge while your mobile is on, or off?
Also, is your phone rooted? If it is, try re-calibrating your battery.
My phone will not stay charged the whole day.
Attached a screenshot of battery usage. Yesterday the phone would not charge by computer, it said something about insufficient current.
This wasn't a problem before updating from 4.3 to 5.7
Please help.

well based on the SS your having some wakelock issues with the venom service as well as the bookmark backup lols.. and as for the insufficient charge, your probably plugging the phone into a side usb port which doesnt have enough juice to charge the phone. better try a port thats directly on the PC/Laptop you have.
i would get better battery stats to see whats going on wakelock wise. once you get there you should be able to figure it out or we will atleast have more info to go on.

alright looks like my phone is charging from the laptop now. I have since re-installed the ROM clean with no carry over settings or apps. Up to this point everything "seems" to be fine although the battery goes down roughly 1% every 2-3min. I have downloaded better battery stats but don't know what to post so I'll post everything that has stats coming up

good work. you need to just let the phone run normally the way you would normally use it for maybe like an hour or 2 for us to build some stats up. right now with 20 seconds of stats its pretty much impossible to diagnose anything. so if you can just repost that whole set of images in a bit after you've clocked a bit of normal use time. i'll take a look at it then and give you my suggestions. i know its kind of a pain. i had to go through this whole thing as well lols..

This is about an hour and a half in my pocket after a full charge. It may also be relevant to mention that the phone is warm all the time now, even out of pocket
Thanks for all your help BTW
based on what you posted it looks like something to do with the NLPwakelock. which normally is caused by your GPS being on all the time. also look into greenify which can kill background apps. cause then will tend to kick your phone out of sleep. thats the first thing i would start with.
