I cannot understand why my phone shows battery full when it reaches 96%.
I also tried with a wipe with no results.
Ideas?

I must be blind... I'll have a look for the third time
Thx
from what i've read it does that to preserve your batery. if the baterry is charged to 100% and then discharges to 0%, doing that will affect your baterry life so by not charging to 100% your batery is going to last longer.

[BUG] Full Charge Oddity, Charge to 100%, Unplug to 97%
Same issue Reported on March 7th by me
kenvan19 said:
I'm having some even more strange battery performance. So over the past couple days my phone has charged to 97% then stopped charging. By that, I don't mean that it started discharging but rather it stopped showing any indication of charging and stayed at 97%. To try and see what was going on I decided to "calibrate" my battery. I absolutely killed it yesterday and plugged it in over night. This morning when I woke up, it was at the usual 97% so I unplugged and replugged it back in. I left it for a few hours and came back and booted it up to find it was at 98%. Odd because it charged from 30% to 97% the other night in 2.5 hours. So I powered it off again and checked back another few hours later. This time it had dropped to 97%. What the hell is going on here. I've decided to forego the calibrating and just see what the hell happens when I leave it on and plugged in. Its currently back at 98%
According to battery graph it did hit 100% about 2 hours ago for about 10 minutes then dropped back down to 98%. I'm completely baffled here...
So it hit 99% and stopped charging. Again, its not just saying fully charged, it actually is acting as though it is unplugged yet not discharging battery...Roger please help lol

Like most people, I never fully drained my battery and reset my battery stat. So, up until couple days ago, it never went above 94%. But for some reason, I was at my bro's house and plugged it in at night. In the morning, turned it on and holy cow it was 100%. Just recharged it over night again and holy cow it's 100% again.
Any idea why it suddenly started to charge to 100%? I didn't do anything to it. Running Calk+Clem combo OC at 1.2.
Mine has gone to 100% a few times but not consistently. Sometimes it tops out around 96% but once in a while it makes it to 100%. I've never seen it happen twice in a row, and I've never drained the battery to 0%. Running Froyo VeganTab btw

Mine has NEVER gone above 94%. Doesn't matter what ROM I use. If you figure out what did it please let me know!!
Mine doesn't go to 100% with the wall charger but it does with the car charger...
Mine will go to 100% every time... but when it's at 100% the led on the tablet is still red. The number then starts to go down to 96 or 94% and THEN the led turns green. Pretty funny stuff.
Last night I left the house with about 40% left on my battery. By the time I went home, my Sensation was completely drained. This was within 3 hours, which should not drain it to 0%, especially since it was asleep most of the time.
When I got home and I plugged it in, I booted it up and surprisingly, it booted up with 42%. Before plugging in it had no power left, and the phone wouldn't boot at all. I wiped my battery stats yesterday morning too, after charging it to 100% for a few hours.
Seems like my battery stats are VERY wrong right now, and I just wiped it again after charging it to 100% and leaving it there for a while. Does anyone else have this problem? I know some people are having random stats popping up here and there, but this still had 30% juice left before it just died out. Never happened before. I was able to nearly fully drain it just 3 days ago too (100-5%).
Charge to full, wipe again, and drain to about 5%. Charge full and repeat. It usually takes a few cycles to correct battery stats.

I'd also recommend this application from the market for battery calibration, although you need root.

Alright, thanks, I'll try that. Hopefully it gives me an accurate reading
Hi guys, I have my phone a few days now but usually let it charge over night when iam asleep so when i wake up, i just unplug and off i go. But last night the battery was still on 30% so i figured i would wait until today and charge it! I had read it takes a hell of a long time to charge but surprisingly my phone went from 4% to 89% in just under 2 hours! A few minutes later i noticed the led had turned green so i was like "what the hell, no way can it be fully charged that fast" ....... and it wasnt ha it was now on 94% so i have no idea why the led changed to green but it had gone from 4% - 94% pretty fast so i was happy and expected the last 6% to charge pretty quickly . The next time i checked my phone 2h35mins had passed and it was now on 99% but then it just seemed to come to a halt. I would check the phone every 5 mins expecting it had reached 100% but nope. Over 3 hours had passed before it finally hit 100% but the icon beside it read 'still charging' so i decided to leave it until it was fully charged . Well its now 3 hours and 30mins and the phone apparently is still charging lol
How is it possible for it to charge so fast up until it reached over 90% and then slow down DRAMATICALLY ? Is this normal? plus why the hell did the led turn green long before the battery was fully charged?
Always the last 10% takes almost 20 mins to charger whereas 0-90% can charge in an hour or an hour and ten mins.

20 minutes??? Mate it took almost an hour just to go from 99% to 100 lol Whilst on 100 for almost an hour it was still allegedly charging so whilst waiting for it to be fully charged i just lost patience and unplugged it as it was on 100 so figured it must be fully charged even though it was still charging! So in total the phone was plugged in for almost 4 hours and was still charging at 100% when i unplugged it yet it had gone from 4% to 94% in barely over 2 hours lol

That is kinda strange bro. Y don't u calibrate your battery by downloading an app from the play store or let your battery drain to 0% and shut down and then charge from 0-100 and check the time.

Good idea man,might leave it drain completely and see how long it takes to reach full charge! I suspect it should take a long time but it was just weird how not only did the led turn green before it was fully charged but it had charged damn fast up until that point and then just slowed down massively although its not a huge concern as the battery life is fairly good
Recently had to replace battery.
Phone was shutting almost immediately after it was disconnected from charger. Charging status when not switched on showed the battery kinda going in reverse. Phone was really odd as it would suggest the battery had 100% charge and then within minutes of disconnecting it was shutting down.
I tried a factory reset/refresh with no change. So I ordered a Genuine replacement battery off flea bay and installed that last Thursday.
Initially phone seemed ok, then wen a bit weird and shut down even though charge was like at 70% or so. Wouldn't restart until plugged in and then in shutdown mode the battery/charging indicator would show 0% and then very quickly showed 70%. Good bit though was it was going up and not down like before.
Fully charged phone overnight. It then seemed really good and lasted until Tuesday with 66% charge still showing. I had not installed FB or Twitter which made a huge difference. Then yesterday it just shutdown again. When plugged in showed 0%, within minutes back to 70% and then charged to 100% in the space of an hour or so.
So I am looking for any advice. Is this just calibration issues that the phone needs to get past. Is it possible the phone has corruption int he ROM.
I appreciate it might be a hardware fault but seems weird that the replacement battery is clearly showing a big improvement suggesting battery was EOL after 2 years use.
TIA

Same problem here i will try to install the oficial rom of xt890 if works i back here if not i don't know what to do
Sooo............issue is still present. Odd thing which I am unable to confirm, due to rnadomness of shutdowns, it that I think it is slowly learning the state of the battery as it originally was shutting down at 70% after 2-3 days on standby. then 66% hen 56%. I did a clear cache partition and a fresh install but still the issue was present.
Clearly the new battery is lasting longer than the old one, just the phone does not seem to know to reduce the charge indicator all the way to 0%.
Anyone any idea why this might be happening.
TIA

Just to add i'm having the same problem.
Symptoms started last week running the stock kitkat rom so i ordered and a fitted a new battery. Initially everything looked good phone said 100% left it over night and noticed it had shut off when i came back to it. Plugged it in to the charger and it said 0% so i charged back to 100%, booted up android and almost immediately it begins discharging rapidly, i would say within 15 minutes its back down to 0%.. I've done this a few times now even left it on charge overnight for 8 hours but its still discharging rapidly everytime. The craziest thing is even if it says 0% in android i can still boot in to recovery and flash away so clearly there is charge in the battery its just android thats out of sync.
What i've tried so far:
Different wall chargers/USB leads/Outlets
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed CM11
Factory Reset several times
Various battery calibration apps
My next step is going to be trying RSD to flash the stock ROM but beyond that i dont know what to do.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with my Razr i, replaced the battery and it's still discharging very fast
Eventually managed to resolve my new battery issue simply by fully charging and discharging several times. It started to hold charge after the 7th charge and after several more discharges it's now up to full capacity.
Hello,
I bought a second hand S6, and after some while I noticed a battery issue.
While discharging, everyting is normal until about 11-12%, when it drops to 5% and then continues like normal, 4-3-2-1-shutdown.
If I put the charger even for a second in any percentage below 5% it jumps to 8-9% , and then contunues the discharge from there without missing capacity.
If again I continue to charge without disconnecting, if goes lets say from 1% to 8% instantly and then continues charging like normal.
Is this normal for an old phone? Or can I fix it somehow?
I had never noticed anything like that in any of my android phones before, ever 3 years old.
I have already deleted battery stats, and performed 2-3 times full charge/discharge cycles, without results
The ROM is original 6.0.1 rooted.
Hello,
Tried at 100% and stayed at 100%
Should I try at 10% or 1% ?

It happens for me too. It's just Samsung's failure. Sometimes my battery jumps %1 to %17 when i plug the charger.
To be honest, you can't do anything about it.
I did the proceadure at 14% it dropped to 0% after some seconds and then shut down.
I charged it OFF but when it reached 95% went to 100% in seconds.
When I unplug at 100% and wait 5 minutes (always OFF) at next connection to charger showed 95%.
So it took me 1 hour of intermitted charges to reach 100% and stay there.
We'll see what happens next. I'll keep you updated.
