This thing bother's me. It has good sides though but, when i bought our unit and the first time i charged it, it took 4 hours of charging after discharging 100%, quite long. Then after using it, experimenting on cRoms, kernels, im charging it with just one hour or less? Why is it? Am i charging my battery at 100% really? Does calibrating the battery will do something coz i haven't tried yet. Is it normal?
Thanks a lot guys.
Using poseidon's rom UC kernel v8 200-1.2ghz lionheart/sio.
Uhhh I don't think its normal. Its way too fast. Battery calibration may help, but I don't think it will as the myth has been debunked. Maybe flashing a new kernel may help. How much battery life do you get?

Oh sorry sir. Maybe just my imagination or just busy that i did'nt noticed the hour, the problem is solved. Yesterday i have 50% i charged it with 2 hours before getting 100% so it means 4 hours = 100%. my fault.

Hello everybody,
to begin with i must say that my phone's battery used to take 2 to 3 hours max to charge from wall charger but now since i flashed the ROM and it has been acting so weird when charging. I have monitored the charging time and found that
after 1hr the battery goes to 50 %
after 3 hrs its up to 70%
after 5 hrs its up to 89%
then after being on charge for 6 hrs its fully charged !!!
p.s the battery lasts the normal time it used to.
so what's going wrong here?
your help is much appreciated!
You're using the same charger right? I believe aftermarket chargers are slower and suck!

Yes its the same original charger!!
The only suggestion I have now is to double check if it's really because of the rom?
Try using another rom for a day or so and see if it also takes you that long to recharge. Don't restore apps or anything yet either! (could be an app causing it, however that's unlikely) Mine only takes long to charge if I'm using too much stuff while charging it.
It is normal. Charge voltage is lowered when reaching 70% (or 80%, you can check it at battery stats) and then even lower when almost full until it is really 100%, not to harm the battery pack. Your previous cycles only semmed faster, the more you use your phone the better your battery stats will be.
If you wiped battery stats before, it could be another reason for strange figures.
Most importantly, if you want to have a good battery life on the long run, dont fully discharge/charge it.
hi all...
soo after my comments over a week ago on the aokp website for this build, i decided afterall to take the plunge and update. i was on b26, so subsequently had to flash b27 and then this. everything has gone absolutely swimmingly with no issues at all so far....
HOWEVER>>>>>
I am faced with a very puzzling quirk. its by nooooo means a problem at all, infact it quite the opposite!!! let me explain.
i've started charging my phone in the evening these days for some stupid reason and then, when charged taking it off and going to bed. After getting this milestone on, my battery has been killed over night, draining to around 15%. Normally, it would drain to around 70% and be flat by the end of the day ready for charging again.
This continued for a few days when i decided to root out the cause of the massive overnite idle drain. I installed a fantastic free app called Badass Battery Monitor (which i highly recommend btw!), and over a period of a couple of days the offending app was weeded out. It was Nova Launcher. This had never happened to me before and couldn't understand it. So, as part of my diagnostics, I decided to confirm the findings by removing it and just using stock.
Over a couple of days monitoring, with exactly the same charging method, my battery levels returned to normal drainage with around 75% battery left by the morning. Fantastic. I had found the problem fixed it and got back to normal. Soooo where is the quirk i here you say!!!? lol Well......
On average, from everything i've read in forums, battery drain overnight while phone in standby is around 20/30%, so mine WAS right up there with the majority of you.
Last night, i decided to charge to full and then wipe battery stats. Which i did. Now, bare in mind here that I ONLY have the standard battery that is supplied with the Galaxy Nexus. I got up this morning, and to my utter amazement, my battery had only drained 2%
Now been incredibly realisting here based on average overnight drains, i was 100% sure that this was deffo an error. I have done everything from restarting the phone, taking the battery out, but still the level in my battery was saying the same.
As I sit here writing this, I have been streaming a radio station via wifi on the phone for the last 2 hrs, and atm my battery is telling me that it is STILL 85% full.
I am DEFFO not complaining, but i'm sure now, you can see why the hell i am so puzzled! HOW THE HELL IS THIS HAPPENING, because i can genuinely find no explanation at all for it
as a follow up, it is now more or less 5 hrs since my orginal post, and my battery is reporting that it is 75% full
Jeesh, 20 to 30 idle drain overnight? My phone drains about 3 to 5 overnight which is typically 8 hours of sleep.

Interesting quirk. Are you a heavy or a light user? It'd be nice to see how it drains after a full drain and recharge.

well, to see if what was been reported was correct, i've been an absolute heavy user today. i have wifi on, ive streamed radio via internet for around 3 hrs, ive been playing all sorts of games and watched a few youtube vids. and my battery is atm reporting 74% life left
so here i am, STILL very very puzzled..
my battery life is just going and going with no signs of running flat... have a look at these screenshots and give me an explanation as to why i suddenly have a super battery!
MAYBE you really have a super battery or your mobile is glitched and shows the battery like that due to laG?
I'm on miui and I lose 0% overnight. It just depends on the ROM, but 20-30% is ridiculous!

Your states do not seem super impressive. On most phones the screen is the biggest drain. You show 49% battery with a screen on of only 1 hour. After 33 hours you've only used your phone for 1 hour screen on. Thats VERY little.
I usually get 2.5-3 hours of screen on time for my galaxy nexus.

Thanks for the app recommendation! Been looking for something like it all day.
This will depend on ROM/Radio/Kernel user installed programs/sync etc but 2-6% is normal drain over night anyone with 20% needs to seriously look @ battery stats and work out what's causing wake locks.
Also not forgetting most phones need to bed in after a flash which can take 2-3 days before we see real battery info.
Hi..
I know this is a known bug in jb leak 1, but is there a fix for the sudden drop in battery level?
Daily as soon as the battery level reaches 30, there's a drop of 10%.
I already tried clearing battery stats from recovery but still no luck..

Like you said, it's a known bug. Even the custom 4.1.2 ROMs like MagicMod and CM10 have a similar issue. With those two the battery reading will go from 19% to 1% really quick but stay at 1% for over an hour sometimes. It's not a problem with the battery, it's just the way those ROMs report the battery reading (that's part of the reason why clearing battery stats doesn't help). AFAIK there was never a fix for that.

Happens with me too using dirty unicorn with jbx. As soon as I get to around 30% it just drops to 19

I have a wierd problem. Im on jb leak 3, As I recharge my battery, as it reaches 100% it suddenly drops down to 99% when I disconnect my phone from the charger. Any solution is deeply appreciated. Thank you

There is no solution for that I'm afraid as the same thing happens on custom roms and stock with the 1% battery feature. It's been happening for a long time so it's nothing new.

i am also facing same battery problems but mine is also some different, when my battery is at 20-30% and if i plugged charger(samsung's charger or Data Cable) then within 25-30 minute it become 90-100%. once i have reverse problem while connected to laptop for full day its charged max 70%.

Samsung chargers I believe have more voltage supplied during charging. That's why it charges up quickly. While laptop doesn't give out that much of voltage.
I once have battery drop but only around 5%.. 24%-19%.. but now it seems fine.. I use leak 3 as daily drive.. I think it depends on charge cycle.. if u charged a lot and your phone are used to the pattern then your battery cycle won't be messy with sudden drop..

I have CM10.1 on my HTC One S. Everything was good until I thought my battery was miscalibrated of something. So I run the battery calibration app, let the battery drain, and then charged without interruption. Now battery won't last me more than 4 hours. Before it lasted about 6 - 8 hours, which was pretty acceptable, but 4 hours? I tried making a factory reset but didn't help. Battery drains about %20 or more per hour. What should I do? Does reflashing kernel will work? Or what? Please help..
PD. Charging also takes too long about 4 hours...

Have you reflashed the ROM?

If you've recently installed that Slimkat baterry stats might be "broken" or deleted. Ty to discharge baterry till the phone turn off itself then recharge it to 100% without interrupting. And then you will see if it gets better This happens to me almost everytime when I install any ROM.
But it might be a deep sleep issue it depends how much you are using your phone.

Hey thanks for the reply, I've been using SlimKat for 1-2 month, i have already tried draining the battery all the way to 0% and charge it to 100% in off mode without interruption but still the charging is really slow and the battery drain is really quick!

Well .. it might be Slimkat bug. I dont know, I've never tried Slimkat for a longer period. Now I'm using CM 11 latest Varuns build and battery is perfect.. normal using (1,2GHz and 5hours of GPS navigation) .. One and half day of working. You might try it and you will see if it gets better.
