So I charged my phone to get it to 100% and realized after looking at the battery graph that it had reached 100% but it was showing 99% and i had the amber led light on. So I turned off my phone and then the led turned green. After turning it back on, the led stayed green and the phone still reports fully charged but it still shows 99% has anyone seen this and know what could be causing it?

Happens to me to. Not all the time but more often than not
The battery charges to 100% then stops till 95% then charges back to 100% to avoid overcharge, and other potential problems.

Shouldn't the battery show that progress? And if that's the case, why is it that it doesn't always happen like that? Sometimes it actually reaches 100% as you would expect

It's a known thing and pretty much all smartphones do it, it just all depends on how the battery meters "lie" to you. Every manufacturer does it differently. Hypothetical example: When it reaches 100% and starts doing the discharge/trickle charge cycle the indicator may just stay at 100% even though it's cycling between say...100% and 97%, but when you remove the charger it may change to whatever the actual percent is. Or it may show you 100% and slowly reduce the percent it displays until it catches up with the actual battery percentage.
Anything above 95% is inaccurate to a certain degree on all modern smartphones.

But then it sucks because my phone never reaches 100% and the green led doesn't turn on so I don't know when my phone is fully charged. I have to go into the battery graph to see when it actually reached 100%. It used to show 100% but after one day that my battery died on me completely, it hasn't shown 100% again

You should unlock your bootloader and root before your OTA makes it so you cant
Just noticed mine stays at 99% to for about an hour then goes to 100% but.....takes about an hour to go back down to 99% even after usage.

Ends up that I was not giving my phone enough time to charge. When I had thought it had reached 100% it had not really done that. I left it plugged in a little bit after it said it was charged and at 99% and it reached 100% on its own

what was your talk time and how was the service where you were located. Talking draws almost as much battery as the screen, so if you were on the phone for an hour or so it would likely be equivalent.

Do a hard reset and charge the phone up fully before using it. If that doesn't work exchange it for a new one.
Also make sure all haptic feedback is turned off. When you aren't using data for several hours make sure to turn that off as well, especially if you are in an LTE area.

Does haptic feedback really affect battery that much? I wish there was an lte toggle
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Tooany variables affect it.
- Do you set screen brightness to the highest?
- Do you live in an area with patchy signals?
- What was included in 2 hour screen time?
When surfing on WiFi with 40% brightness, I lose about 1% current in about 3.5 - 4 min. If that is the range than yours might be fine or mine is also screwed up.

There is no way to turn LTE off on this phone. I personally tried all suggested methods on another thread. None of them work.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
doesn't seem to abnormal to me...2 hours screen time with over an hour talk time is pretty decent over a full day. My only gripe would be to turn brightness down to about 20% unless you are needing to use your phone outside all day. it is more than sufficient and your eyes get used to it quickly. saves a ton of battery.
I am getting anywhere between 2:30-3:30 screen time with about a half hour of talk time. so many variables its hard to nail down, but try out what ppl have suggested. I also turned off haptic feedback the moment I got the phone. check how many apps you have syncing as well. that can eat up battery especially with bad coverage.
good luck
Luckily I'm in a non lte area. Avg 4 hours of screen time. Battery lasts me a couple of days, but I don't use my phone much. When custom roms hit there will be a lte on/off switch.

Google around for HSPA+ only APNs for AT&T. When you enter them, be sure to put an asterisk in the "APN Type" field, otherwise the phone won't let you select that APN set.
That's how I got LTE to shut off on my phone.

Edit:
I tried the APN setting suggested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652705&page=3
and it seems to be working so far.
Though, it should be noted with the S4 chipset that turning off LTE doesn't net you as much battery life as it used to. Though it does help with the network drops if you experience them. (I have.)
In response to the thread, though: My battery life has jumped the shark since updating to 1.85. Like, I was getting close to 17 hours mixed-use before my phone was in the red. Now, I'm lucky to get 8. I'm running it through a few more charge cycles just to make sure, but it seems pretty nasty.

After: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4940279/images/after.jpg (1.85)
Notice I had to charge the phone halfway into the 8 hours just to keep it from dropping completely.

Your being to broad that doesn't mean anything to me all I see is 6days and your charging it every so often what's wrong? Your phone is lasting a day? Explain what exactly your doing you need to specify and further explain what your doing.
For example
In screenie I have 4 days on one charge.
I watched some netflix and barely any usage it was very minimal. And about every other 6 to 12 hours I turn off data and switch on airplane mode as you can see.
Another thing leaving your phone on for that much time just IMO makes the battery life die faster rather than fully charging do your usual stuff till the day ends and once done at night just shut it off charge turn back on in the morn.

there is no bug at all. it tells you the time since the phone has been on no from the last charge.
Lets say i use my phone and im around 30% and its been 8 Hours since i turned on my phone from 100%. once i plug it in it will keep track of the time my phones been on (Up time) not from last charge.
there is an app called Better Battery Stats but it causes wakelocks but it will show you those type of stats and more
I think you are mistaken friend. The discharge graph shows the time since the last recharge. See http://support.google.com/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2677609&topic=2677645&ctx=topic (last para) for details.

For me it happens when the recharge doesn't make the battery goes above 90%. The graph will "reset" when the battery is charged above 90%.

How new is the phone? Stock or custom? Have you tried a factory reset since you got the phone?
When I first got my HOX I was experiencing the same issue, it would happen ever so often. I did a factory reset and that seemed to fix the problem. I also installed CleanRom and I saw an improvement in my battery life as well. I know some people are experinceing heating issues that causes the batt to tank like that. Download GSM battery to see if an app is running in the background causing it to over heat. Also if you have your phone rooted you can DL SetCPU and set up a profile to underclock it when it get's too hot.
It's happened to many people before.
Nobody knows why it happens, but people say restarting it helps sometimes

Were you using Chrome with tilt scrolling enabled? (It's enabled as default) That can eat your battery in a few minutes. Or maps?
My only guess because the significant drain happened when screen was awake and phone on.
I don't think it's the signal bug... It shows your signal as straight green, so it's consistent.

Nope. First time anything like this has ever happened. No idea what the hell caused it.
I was having issues like this too. He's running Xi40. I had that problem with that ROM too. Went to bed with it fully charged, woke up with it at 47%. Huge down spikes in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.
Flashed CleanROM 4.5 RC1 and the difference is amazing. Went out for over 10 hours yesterday and used it moderately and only consumed 34%. Something is up with that ROM. I have CleanROM setup and all the same apps installed as I did with Xi40 but the battery lasts much longer.

The network signal in the pic is fully green, no signal drops. Signal drops show as red. Also, from what I've seen, the dropped data signal issue results in a really steep line, but not a dead vertical one. This looks more like the incorrect voltage being read, and the volt meter correcting itself.

Or, since the phone was awake and the screen was on, it was heavily loaded (process stuck at 99% cpu, benchmarking, etc.). Either way, nothing to see here, move along.

I don't think you will see a vertical drop, no matter how heavily you load the CPU. A steep line, yes. But the vertical line indicates an instantaneous (or near instantaneous) drop in voltage. My guess is still that on an incorrect voltage reading, and the voltmeter suddenly adjusting for the error. As others have mentioned a factory reset resolves the issue, its possible some residual battery meter data is left over from a previous ROM.
Strangely, my battery stats have been highly inaccurate, sometimes dropping by 5% and on some occasion, the battery percentage doesn't even change after 20mins of screen on time usage. I know that the displayed battery percentage isn't 100% accurate, but this seems to be too far off.. Any idea what's causing this problem?

If you're S-OFF no need to relock or worry about your CID or stock recovery, the RUU will flash just fine. :good:
Good news! The RUU was successful and I booted up into BB9. I coumld've sworn that RUU's wipe /sdcard but apparently not. So I obviously don't have enough hours left in the day to test the battery, but I'll let it drain to almost dead tomorrow. Kinda off topic but if anyone was hesitant to RUU on Windows 8, don't worry, because I just did.

Alright well today was an abnormal day of use, but the RUU did appear to fix it. I used my phone a lot in HSPA so it APPEARS that it has the massive drains, but it all seems to be a 1% drain when I'm actually using. Here's a screenshot.
