Hi ,
I'm on stock ROM KF3 (Rooted) . Since last week I'm facing wierd problems with battery .
Today morning My battery was on ~ 50 % , then after 15 minutes , to my surprise my phone was off . I turned it on & to my shock saw battery critically low notification ( with 1% battery remaining ) .
Also after 10 minutes of being turned on , the indicator increased to 7% automatically .
I then plugged it in and made a complete 100% charge .Within 20 minutes from being unplugged it was on 94% ,So i did a restart and to my shock again the indicator showed 64% . Then within nearly 15 minutes on being turned on the indicator is increasing automatically in steps of 1% & now indicator shows 72% .
Is this an issue with the phone , battery or what .??
FYI I'm using battery monitor widget & circular battery indicator .
I'm posting my battery usage , battery graph from battery monitor widget & battery history from battery monitor widget for diagnosis . Please help .

Please reply.....
Did you try to calibrate your battery? There's an app available on the market called "Battery Calibration".
Charge your phone to 100%, start Battery Calibration and choose battery calibration. Plug your phone off and let it fully discharge. Then charge it to 100% without a break.

If battery calibration doesn't help:
Flash a newer ROM.
I recommend the latest, stable version for your region => XWKJ1.
There is a non-wipe Frankenstein version from Intratech (=> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278).
Please read the first post carefully. Official Firmwares can be found in second post and Frankenstein versions (with can easily combines with different Modem and/or CSC files for other regions and/or providers) are in the third post.
After flashing the new ROM you may root your phone like described in the first post, or just flash a working CF-Root kernel from Chainfire.
For XWKJ1 CF-Root kernel XXKI4 and XWKI8 will do - as long as there is no CF-Root kernel exactly for XWKJ1.
Good luck !

Normally you have to choose battery calibration, before you unplug. but yes, that's how it works.

1.senesation 1.8 with ninphetamine 2.1.3, now i am getting more than 22-26 battery backup with use of voice call, messaging, browsing, music play.
2. i also collaborate battery by charging battery to 100%(until unplug charger comes) then drain battery until it gets switched off. then again i charge to 100% then immediately went to CWM n cleared battery stats
3. Also i am using Juice Defender

I have a similar problem. My battery stays at 100% and prevents itself from charging. Last night I left my phone unplugged and when I woke up this morning it was still at 100% and when I plugged in the charging cable it said Phone is charged, remove charger.
This causes some real problems. Like yesterday I was using my phone then bam! The screen shut off. That was strange, I thought. It didn't look like the usual screen timeout and sleep because it didn't dim first. But then I tried pressing the power button and that didn't work either. So I took the battery out and put it back in. Still nothing. I started getting really bummed. What could be wrong? So I connected it to the charger and still nothing. Now I am getting really, REALLY bummed. Well after a minute or two on the charger I saw the big green battery come on with 0% charged level. Well, I am happy because the phone is working again, but confused because I just took the phone off the charger less than a half hour ago. Why 0% now?
I am still on totally stock, no root, no nothing. I have not tried battery calibration, but somehow I don't think it will help my problem.
hi people
please check this 2 min video and you will come to know what i am trying to say and what help i need
Note : this video is raw not edited.
100% to 81% in just 2 min
i use :
1. ics final by jusada
2. lagfreev1
3. volume battery drain fix
i recently did battery calibration also both by software and cwm recovery wipe method. due tho this i have to remain under power or other way is to switch off and charge, but guys i can't switch off my device its always ringing and my business also.

Calibrate battery:
Turn phone off
Charge until 100% appears on the screen.
Turn off charger and remove battery
Put battery back in battery after at least 90 seconds.
Use CWM to boot into recovery
Go to advanced and delete Battery Stats
Reboot phone & DO NOT recharge
When the phone reaches 10% charge, put back on charge.
Remember all battery start to loose their charge if used constantly. Re chargable batteries become less effective over time.
Wy u disconnect the charger when it reaches 100%?? Its fake dude. Wait till the system reminds u in the notification that battery charged!!.. Some ROMs might hav removed that.. Seriously charge ur battery from 10% to 100% for 3 HRS...

It's not fake. I charged for six hours straight and have th same result as this guy. cooltt is correct: the effectiveness of rechargable batteries degrade over time.

Ok everyone calm down.
My original post about how to calibrate this battery is correct, i'm using ICS final no tweaks by Jusada and i get the 100% charged confirmation when i charge with phone switched off.
I know some custom roms don't have this feature but you can still charge to capacity with the phone on, when it reaches 100% turn the phone off and charge for a further 20 mins.
This battery takes 2hrs 42 mins to charge from dead but you should never allow it to die as it strains the internal structure of the battery.
The battery icon is not a true representation of the remaining charge until the phone has been used over a couple of days and charged up at least once, this is the way all rechargerble batteries work
ya actually if i charge with my device off i get full charge in 2:30 to 3 hours but when i switch on and charge then it charges from dead to 100 in just 1:30 hours so by this i know we are not getting full charge while on.
but guys this is bad we need to find some way out this is really not good that we have to switch off our devices as there can be some emergency also, never did in my nokia,blackberry.
by the way in some thread i read this trick so today i followed this and will post my result after 24 hours :
How to Calibrate your battery ; guide by Hiroshirou :
1. (phone on) charge to 100% until it actually says full in settings > about phone > status > battery status
2. unplug charger and turn off phone
3. (phone off) plug charger in until it charges to 100%
4. unplug charger and power it on
5. (phone on) plug the charger in and charge it to 100%
6. unplug charger and reboot phone to recovery (into cwm5)
7. go to advanced and clear battery stats.
8. turn on the the phone and charge it to 100% - DONE!

Alright. I once accidently put my speaker output into 3.5mm jack instead of speaker input in my last phone and my battery didn't use to last more than 30 minutes. Maybe you can try to swap batteries temporarily to check if it's a battery issue or phone/software issue! That will narrow it down.
its a software issue only as my battery is new i purchased 1 month ago.
Backup data and perform a fresh installation and calibrate again.
It this doesn't work, it's definitely a hardware issue.
P.s. age doesn't matter. A bad battery will go bad whenever it wants to. I will still suggest you to try swapping batteries first to narrow down the issue. Try krne mein kya jata hai?
oki i am on a test of a procedure that will complete in 24 hours after that i will try to use fresh installation right now i am busy in editing custom ROM for me so i guess have to wait for battery to got down till 10%.
Hi all!
I have a problem with charging.when I pluged in the charger, the charging LED is always red even if the battery shows 100% it says on the screen "charging" the LED light never becames "green"
any suggestion to fix the problem?
Android 4.0.4
I9300XXLFB
Kernel 3.0.15
SOLVED
Discharging battery completely and charging it while it is switched off solved the problem. charging took 2,5 hours but finally the green light is on.
yeey
Then it is not fully charged, it should say charged

So how come it shows 100% ?
One charge to 100% remove lead wait 5 plug it back in charge 100% .
Boot to recovery and wipe battery stats .
That fails backup data factory reset phone .
That fails return to a service center .

I discharged completely and its now charging while it is switched off. I will see if this helps or not to solve the problem.
If not, I will boot to recovery and wipe battery stats. I am new at android, I hope I can handle with it.
any risk on boot to recovery and wipe stats?

There is no risk because wiping battery stats in recovery doesn't do anything that the phone doesn't already do by itself.
Battery stats are wiped every single time your phone charges to 100%.

Just wanna ask are you pertaining to the one beside the network bars or the ontification 100%?
I too had the same problem took 8 hours to charge from 0% to 100%, I took the mobile to Samsung service center they found the problem is in battery and provide replacement battery.
I had phone over heating problem they solved it now.

charge till 100%, start the app, press calibrate and then unplug your phone from charger. your phone must be rootet.
after calibration use your phone till it has only 1 or 2 % left, then charge again to 100% without interrupt. dont calibrate again.
if the problem still isnt fixed with calibration, try this:

My friend, i can see you have problem with the batery life. I don't know if any of you has noticed this, but when the phone is charging and it reaches 100%, you shouldn't remove the charger. The phone is still charging even after reaching 100%,sometimes for half an hour. If you want to see when the phone is fully charged, go to Settings-About phone-Phone status. In the first field you can find if the phone is or is not fully charged. Try this and let's see what happens. I hope i can help some of you.
