Has anybody noticed strange battery indicator behaviour after 7740 update? Sometimes it shows 60% then a minute later 35 then again 55% and so on (you can check the % in battery saver menu in settings).
I'm pretty sure it started when I updated the phone. Never had had battery issues with this phone before the update!
Hi,
For now, no issue for me...
maybe a battery issue
properly just a faulty battery

Hi folks... I hope this isn't just another "battery problem" thread... but I really do have a problem with my phone's battery (or should I say, batteries, since I got three different batteries and none of 'em seem to last long enough).
I'm running on the oficial FroYo-update rom - so I never installed any custom roms.
After the update the stock battery started dying real quick - not even a full day... and I can't charge the battery to 100%!!! :-/ I haven't seen that green light in ages... So I thought maybe it was a battery problem - bought a new battery 1500mAh from palmexx for about $20. However, the same problem with this battery too - drains quick and never-ever charges up to 100% .
I thought maybe it was a cheap rip-off battery, so I bought the much loved Mugen Power Battery 1800mAh. Followed the instructions - charged the phone while it was on for 12 hours. But even after 12 hours of charging the indicator said only 67% (I turned the phone on and off, then the indicator says 82%) - so left it charging for a couple of more hours (total charge 16,5 hours). The indicator still says 82%... and the battery started draining quickly again, it's down to 64% now, and I haven't used it much at all :-/
Is there any solution for this problem? The phone is just 10 months old.
same here
one of my colleagues have got the same problem with his HTC Legend. He sent it back to the reseller, they changed the ROM but nothing!
It charges up to 85% and never show green indicator until restart. I searched the XDA, lots of have-same-problem folks, no real solution though!
Is this problem (battery driver or ...) will be solved by custom roms?
Any help?
I think ur only choice is to try different Roms, im using cyanogen7 though but ive never experienced any battery problems.
Another thing you might try is to go back before ur update, and try charging over again..

Might also be the charger.
When on USB the phone draws less power than on power plug.
If something weird is wrong with your charger it might happen that the "power" plug is not recognized correctly and you only get the usb-power.
Have a look at (not complely sure where) settings->phone settings->battery info if it is correctly identified. It should show something like connected (AC) when plugged in.

It happened to me too, until I charged it two and a half days in a row and it worked out
This is a widespread, meanwhile pretty well-known problem. A whole range of the HTC Legend line is coming down with this problem. I have two of these, both without invoice. :-(
The only solution I have heard of is to return the phone and have it repaired, which essentially means replaced.
This post is about 1 year ago, but what was the solution. I have think the same problem with my senstation!

Is anyone else having issues with this phone loosing around 20% to 30 % after a restart. It doesn't happen everytime but sometimes when the phone is turned off and on the battery drops from, for example , 50% to 30%. I had this issue with official roms and unofficial roms.
Hi mali019, this happen to me as well, i'm not sure this is cause by the battery itself or the phone itself. My phone will auto restart when the battery usage is @ 4x percent. After itself restarting. The battery will drop to 33 percent every time. I'm swapping a battery with a fren of mine and started testing today. I'm using KG6 roms.
never had that problem...
Do you guys quit apps or just press the home button? Use the in-built task manager, it's good.
I don't use taskmanagers. Only use the one that comes with the phone. This problem happend on every rom i tried. From 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 . I'm gonna buy the new 2000mah and see if it happens again.
Just now i pulled out the battery without turning the phone off and battery percentage dropped from 41% to 22% . Currently I'm using KG6

Isn't that what I've said?
Anyway, you can try installing Watchdog from Market to see if you have apps misbehaving and what is using you cpu.

The problem is not an app using the battery. The problem is the phone loosing 20-30 % percent battery after a restart. The phone is not displaying the correct battery percentage.
I even had the battery percentage increasing after a restart without being pluged in to a power point. For example I'll restart the phone for any reason with a battery percentage off 50%. After the restart the battery percentage will show 23%. Sometimes the percentage will increase like its on charge. It will go up to 30%.
Never had this problem better get checked the battery in Samsung service center
Said that because it happened to me that if the phone gets hot, percentage drops. Later, it returns to a higher percentage.
I was experiencing the auto restart and instant battery drain issue while using ninphetamine 2.1.x
After changing to other kernel. No more auto restart nor instant battery drain issue.
You might need to a battery calibration.
I got a new battery ( Perks of working at a phone shop ) hopefully it will fix the issue
I also notice that it takes quit some% after each restart but not 20%. Actually the battery was good when I first got this phone. But after 175 apps installed, battery isn't good anymore.

Moving to Q&A
Today I left my phone in my room and after an hour I wanted to check my emails before going to bed the screen did not turn on so even after a long press on the power button, so I removed the battery (it was ice cold) after replugging it booted and voila there was a huge drop 50 percent perhaps? So I said to myself, I think I left a resource intensive app running and forgot about it and went to bed without plugging the charger, 3 hours later I wake up thinking it would give me a critical or charge your phone dialog, but instead I have a battery that charges itself ...
Now in reality that would be cool but i think there is a problem. Using the ninphetamine 2.0.4 kernel for a few days for bln but it was disabled, stock rom.
I have attached two screenshots one taken right after and the other one 3 hours or so after.
I don't think that I would need a recalibration after a few charges the phone is not a week old.
Hi, I have this exact problem with cognition+ Siyah kernel, how can I fix it??
So I changed the kernel and everything seems ok now, my problem was with Siyah Kernel.

I experienced same problem - I was browsing, then phone restarts itself and the battery is instantly on 18% (from 50%).
And then started to recharge itself.
Stock 2.3.4 ROM (version XWKH4), running the same configuration for nearly two months now, with only few restarts (once in 20 days), no new app installed recently.
Maybe some glitch in internal electronic?
Same problem, just a bit more drastic. My phone seems to freeze, in which I have to manually restart it. And then I see the battery falls sharply. This is on stock Firmware (unrooted) too.
After the latest update I've been running some tests. A 12 hour idle drain, with the phone starting at 100% battery and WiFi off, leaves it at 24%.
In contrast, my HTC Mozart (with a smaller battery) would last nearly 3 times this.
Any ideas if this is still software screwing about, or a more fundamental problem with the Nokia?
Try reseting your phone if you have problems after update. I know it has helped some.
I had mine go from 100% to 23% over night in battery saver mode.
I removed a couple of live tiles I'd added and remembered to log out of messenger/chat, and my over night drain became sensible again.
Hi, my battery has been a little weird for the last month.
It charges only to 94% and then when I use the phone, even for a minute or so it gets really hot.
the battery does not last more than 8 hours.
I´ve tried atrix battery fix, battery repair and I have recalibrated my battery several times. I even reinstalled the rom from 0 to try to fix this.
Is there a fix o simply my battery is about to die?

If you are on android 2.3, change your battery
If you are on 4.X, then try greenify on playstore to see if you have too many apps in background, and check your battery life in plane mode

Or maybe you've got an app in the background which eats all your battery... There is a good application that can detect such usage: look for watchdog in play store.
When you did a fresh install... Did you try to see if that happens again without any non stock app? I mean, with no apps installed beside those that came bundled with the rom.

Sorry for not answering before.
I don´t have any apps on the background, it´s weird beause if I do a fresh install with only the apps of the rom the battery does go up to 100 the first time and last a decent time, but after the second charge it would only go to 90 and then to 88.
it does get very hot and only last like 10 hours.
My sgs2 GT-I9100 got a new battery because the original one got swollowen , but now it also has problems occurred Recently,
Phone flickers and goes completely off at 40%-50% ,
Wont turn on again unless i plug it in but then it shows 0%,
Happens all the time,
So I restarted the phone at 50% to see SUPRISE then it shows less than 5% battery !
But after 50% its sure phone will go off any sec.
Is there a fix other than going to another new battery again? Tried the Battery Calibration app By a XDA member too...
UPDATE: Got anew battery ( 2nd battery purchase within a month) but it seems to be the problem continues..
Used the battery with the charge it came with... 60% browsed the web...... reached 35%...... Turned off again
Thinking that it happens because of a miscalibration so used the above mentioned app and calibrated at 100% drained till 40% ( light gaming) Went off again....:crying:
Please Help this is urgent!!!!!:fingers-crossed:
UPDATE 1
Did a Reset of the device and charged it fully with the brand new battery (left for couple of hrs after 100%) and I eventually drained it to 50% and did a restart I was left with 10% after.... didn't fixed
I'll try my best to help. Had this problem with an old laptop battery. I just looked a bit around and found that there are several apps that show you the real mAh. SInce I haven't tested of them I won't recommend any.
Are your contacs all clean? Can you measure the output of the battery with a voltage meter?
EDIT: Found this a few posts lower " just reset the fuel gauge chip (rooted) and you are good to go!"
Update flashed a stock jellybean rom lets see what happens
