Battery calibration bug
Let your phone turn off when your battery hits 0%
Charge to %100
Let it turn off when at %0
Your battery will calibrate its self, this shouldent happen again

Turn it on after it turns off
When your battery is at %0 or %100 it checks and adjusts the calibration but it needs a full charge cycle to properly adjust

So let me get this straight, Now i am 3 % , Will wait until it turns off at 0 % , then i put in charger , turn it on, let it charge to 100 %, Use it normally tomorrow until 0 % again, put charger in, turn on, Wait until 100 % and use normally, correct ? Isnt it better to charge 100 % off though ??

Yes it does matter
Just use phone normaly, draining the battery throws off calibration somehow

After I fully charge the phone, and disconnecting it from the power, the battery suddenly drops to 96-97%, it is normal? I already made a battery calibration past week. Even after I upgraded the phone from XXKG2 to XXKG6, still the same problem here. I bought the phone last month. (by the way, it is rooted and I have on it the 2.3.4 stock)
Post some pictures of the battery usage.
And also some of bestbatterystats.
Try this: After you get the "Fully Charged" notification, try not to take it off charging immediately. Leave it on there for about 10 minutes or so and then take it off of charging, you should see it as 100%. If this does not help. Please post some screenshots of your battery usage screen, we can troubleshoot from there.

Tap your finger on graph above and screenshot that.
Did you calibrate your battery, before or after you upgraded to KG6? If you calibrated it before, then you should try calibrating it again.
1. Charge 100% (best way switch your phone off)
2. Run Battery Calibration
3. Drain the battery until it's totally empty.
4. Charge again 100% (best way switch your phone off)
5. Reboot and enjoy

I think maybe batterystats.bin was not removed, I tried to remove it with Battery Calibration app, but I didn't checked if it was or not. Tommorow or on monday I will try to post some stats from Battery Monitor Widget
That does look very much like a non calibrated battery. Try calibrating it as 'Bruaca' mentioned, and you should be getting the correct readings this time around.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I did another calibration, with the device turned off until battery riches 100%, then I turned it on, then I removed the charger, and it was on 100%, I put the charger back, again after 5 minutes I heard the signal, then I went into Root Explorer and deleted the batterystats.bin, and pulled the charger, now I have 100% + 4143mV, it's normal? or should be more mV?
4143mV sounds a little high. Mine is ~3600. Though I'm getting the opposite problem. What might happen is that I'll leave it on overnight and it'll gain 2 or 3 percent of the battery. I started getting problems charging after I installed font changer, which was also weird. Like, it'll take ages to charge to 100%.
Edit: 4143mV sounds about right for a fully charged battery.

Once your phone gets to 100% there is a safety feature (That is completely normal) that allows your battery to drain. When it reaches a certain amount (Normally aroung 93%, but for some phones a bit less) it starts to recharge again.
This is a perfectly normal function of the phone is needed to preserve the battery life.
If its not got to 100% and starts to discharge you need to calibrate your battery. There are lots of good apps for this but I recomend Omegareds thread in the general section about battery optimisation

Clear battery stats in xrecovery and follow omagareds thread from general section.
If that doesnt work, try replacing the battery with a known good one (From a friend if you can before purchasing one) and if that works OK you know its a faulty battery

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...

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 folks,
my Xperia Active shuts down at 25-30%. I tried to calibrate, but occurs after few full-charges again. phone is rooted, using latest stock ROM 2.3.4. Any ideas? I mean if you have an experience with it - gimme any hints / step-by-step advises. THX many times!!!
I would try to delate battery cache,discharge it few times and format it.i have had this same problem but after them few steps my batt work normaly.What i think your battery was not formated properly on the very start of using it.

If you've tried calibrating the battery and thats not work it might be that the batterys faulty. Try a different battery and see if that works.

the battery MUST be ok, as it is only 2.5 months in use in the phone. It worked and after I re-flashed the standard ROM, it worked a few charges and now it went crazy. the Battery Monitor Widget is not able to detect the battery capacity (mAh) and when charging, it indicated 100% at almost 4.00 V, where it shall be 4.2V as 100%.
I will completely discharge the phone, and when it shuts down, will put it to the charger, turn it on, calibrate - erase the battery info, unplug, discharge untill it will completely turn off, charge it with phone being OFF and the, after it will be completely fully charged, turn it on.
will see where the rabbit hole goes...

If I keep my phone on charging even after its on 100%, it starts rolling back. As in from 100 to 99 then 98, even if its pluggen in.
Don't know what kind of a problem this is, hardware or software.
Or there's some issue with the battery.

And when I wake up in the morning, the battery % becomes even less than what it was when i plugged it in.

Maybe You have some program that syncs something all the time. Did You try to turn off data and wifi. You can always check it if the reason is the hardware or Software. Just make a backup of Your whole ROM, delete the data and leave the phone over night. I hope it is only software problem.
EDIT: Does Your battery go hot while charging? Oh, and try to wipe battery stats

Sent from my X10 using XDA
The x10 charges the battery to full then if still plugged in it will stop charging until batt drains to set level ,then will charge to full again and over and over all night. X10 wont over charge batt when left plugged in. Kernel/bootloader handle this. There is an app current widget that can log charge levels.
EDIT: I had a tip on charging here but removed it after further research read more about batt here..

EDIT: the best tip I usr for battery life is, let batt runout until phone shuts off, then pull batt, then plug in charger, then replace batt into phone, then phone will boot, enter xrecovery on first boot and wipe batt stats. After wipe while still in xrec pull batt then unplug. Now plug in phone then insert batt. Phone should boot in charge mode( big batt icon only on screen) dont start phone untill light green for 1-2 hours to get full charge . I do this about once a month, when phone starts to shut off around 15%

As mentioned above as well, this is normal. After charging to 100%, the phone stops battery charging, and will activate charging again only when battery falls a bit (say 97%). Also, battery heating while on charging (and also when using the phone continuously while playing a game) is normal. Relax.. your phone is fine
@ToledoJab
I am having the same issue with battery... phone switching off at 15%, even at 22-23%, when playing a game or something. But switching it back on, and leaving it idle, phone might run for another 2 hours. So it is the extra load while running a game that the phone cant take any longer (i remember getting the 15%,10% and 5% reminders earlier while playing games)...? Does the battery calibrate method actually help in your case? does it go all the way down to 0% or 1% before shutting down.. ?
I just did this after posting that. And yes my phone reported warnings @ 25% 15 10 5 and then shutdown @ 1%.
This way is like reconditioning an old rechargeable ni-cad batt.
All this does is completey drain batt then, with least amount of drainage (phone on, apps& radios running) allows battery to full charge.
There is also a way called recalibrate battery. But this way over charges the batt.
EDIT: I think the phone load will effect reported batt left. I think batt gage use average loads to estimate remaining power. Meaning games, full brightness of LCD, radios -3g -GPS -WiFi -Bluetooth will use more than avg power
edit 2: I found this thread also has some very good points and links. after reading this i will not intentionally take my batt to 0%. I hit 0% about 1-2 times a month on accident as it is. i will just make sure when i do go 0% to wipe stats (dont know if it helps or not) then preform a long (overnight) full charge with phone off.
