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..
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
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?
hello i flashed telus v5 rom put my phone on charge last night and this morning my phone was on 30% plz can someone help also how do i calibrate battery its not there in open recovery thanks
Did you perform a complete wipe of your phone before installing?
Try installing a different Kernel or look in your setting under "About" and then "battery use" and see what has been using the most battery.
yes i did full wipe
I did something I reade here at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11514494&postcount=624
Shutdown phone, charge until 100%, retire battery, wait until apperas ?? symbol, put battery again, it will be at 60% and start charging again.
As you may not flashing a new rom, try the second tip
with phone booted, charge with wall charger (not PC) until 100% (full charge).
After unplug charger and shutdown telephone.
Charge again until 100%. Boot again. It should clean statistics.
I did this also, but using Openrecovery I deleted batterystats.bin file to be sure that statistics are out.
I prefer to charge always via wall charger and with phone off, I notice more long usage during day than charging the phone on. And charging using PC is really very slow, I use only in emergency.
But do not left battery very low (5%) and try to charge via PC and USB, because perhaps it does no boot and you have no phone, I had this problem once, So I was a couple of hours without phone until arrive home and full charge via wall charger.
Regards,
Claudio.
Hi .
I flashed stock JVQ with chainfire 3.7 kernel.
My battery charge very very slowly ( 6 hours to full).
Yesterday I left the phone switched on on charger this morning the phone was off and the battery was on half in charging!
I can't understand what's happening!
Any idea?
Andrea
Try this
Battery not properly charging (possible solution – recommended every ~30 charges, or when the battery won't hold charge)
Phone POWER ON (Enter PIN) – charge to 100%
Disconnect charger
Phone POWER OFF
Connect charger – charge to 100%
Disconnect charger
Phone POWER ON – Enter PIN and wait until idle
Phone POWER OFF
Connect charger – charge to 100%
Disconnect charger
Phone POWER ON
Or maybe your battery is broken and you need a new one...
What u can do is an factory reset
ore you can wipe your batt statts in cwm . (do this when your battery is fully charged
There are several possibilities.
*Your battery Calibration ran off after you flashed. Re-calibrate your battery.
*Note that ROMs or Kernels may cause this to happen.
*Your battery could be faulty and further usage would cause damage to your phone. (If your phone/battery heats up intensively during charging, check it out)
This possibilities are arranged by the most likeliness of what seems to be your issue. If battery calibration does not solve your issue, proceed to checking on your ROM/Kernel. And so on.
Thank you all.
I changed wiped everithing , changed rom and kernel and this morning same problem.
I am going to recalibrate another time , after that I am thinking of buying a new battery.
Thank you guys
Andrea
every time when i charge the phone from computer and using the phone while charging suddenly Ratio Battery become 100% even it was 1%
but that not happening while i charged from AC adabter
i tried to Calibration the battery but thats Unhelpful
any suggest
Hello, lately I can not charge the battery more than 98% and in some cases 97%
I already use the method to calibrate the battery but it continues the same.
Only if I disconnect the charger and reconnect it reaches 100%
Any solution?
In my case the same thing happens.
I have not found a solution yet.
Charging it off turns it 100%, turning it on 98% and then on to 100% again.
in 5 minutes it goes down to 96%, and then the battery is safe.
I have a good time to use the battery, since I stayed 18 hours away from the charger.
