I really believe the battery display is an os issue. That's why I'm waiting to root.

same problem as it only happens when i use the extended battery. i am trying out battery left widget no clue if it will help or calculate a good reading for me but its calibrating as i just tried it out today.
all the battery wipes in the world will not reset it and help
I get inaccurate info. Seems when i reboot my phone i loose 10-15% charge and it happens all the time. - Extended battery

I was having the same issue with my battery meter sticking. The same time this happens, my Setcpu app also was sticking and would full throttle the cpu. Im running the VirusRom right now, but have experienced this problem on a few of the other Roms also. My usual fix was just wipe everything and go with new install. It started happening again last night and I followed some posters advice to let the battery totally drain and then shutoff. I then recharged to full and everything seems to be fine again.
The first time it ever started happening was right after I had wiped the battery cache and rebooted. Ive stopped doing that now, but it still happens. I notice now that I usuallly experience this after a series of reboots. Not sure whats up, but draining the battery to zero helped out last night. We'll see in a day or two if it starts happening again.

Im actually done with ROMs until CM7 is ready. Im just going with a base rooted system and Ill use a custom kernel. Kernel is 99% of the improvement anyway.
Draining works for a day or so, then it does the same thing. I'm stock and it does it. It also does it with the stock battery. Hope they get it fixed with an update.

Mine actually just stopped working... was working for a week or so and today its just stuck on the same number until i reboot. Pretty annoying.
Bump - anyone find a solution to this? I tried running my extended battery to 0% last night and fully charging it... guess ill see if its fixed today. Pulling it off the charger, it already dropped to 95% lol...

That's because of how it charges not foot into details but that will always happen up to a 10% drop.

Right but my problem was/is the meter never changing. I think I fixed it by completely draining the battery and charging to full. Maybe the phone didnt know how much juice it had because of the different size battery.
yeah i changed to the stock battery last night and it would read fine but i really need this extended

Quite possibly a bad battery. Your battery shouldn't drain when the phone is off.

Does it drain when the battery is removed from the phone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
you should download a cm7 nightly my battery lasted from 10pm - 9am with 30% than i put it to charge
You can either do a factory reset or NVFlash CWM and flash a ROM to see if that fixes things. If not, then defective battery.
What these guys are saying is most likely, especially with that kind of drain. But also make sure you don't have any crummy apps, it apps that run when your phones off. Ex. Some weather apps run in the background and draindrain

You guys. He said that his phone was OFF while the battery lost its juice. It has NOTHING to do with what ROM, KERNEL etc etc he is using. Now for the op; simply just get a new battery and check if the problem persists.

Haha, yea. Read to fast, selective reader I guess. Thought I saw 'screen off' =)

Try the same test with the battery completely removed.
If it doesn't drain that fast - Then the phone is not shutting down properly, and most likely is the result of a nasty app.
If it does still drain that fast - Then the battery is probably faulty.

In your original post when you said you turn the phone off at night, you do mean actually turning it off right? Like shutting it down and not just turning the screen off, right? Just making sure we're all on the same page. If the phone is powered down then it can't be an app because apps can only run when you're booted into Android.

I would try to eliminate apps one by one. Freezing them with titanium backup or using better battery stats to see which apps have a lot of wakelocks. I had the same issue before.

Then its the battery. I had the problem with my g1. I would load the maps and use gps. It would say my battery is around 70% then after like 5mins the phone would get hot and then it would say i was at 30% or lower. Swap out for a new battery and it didnt do that anymore.
My g2x is kinda doing the same thing. But its a little slower. I turn the phone on in the morning 100% battery. Then use it for about an hr. (95-80%battery) put it in my pocket. Then about 2hrs later it at 40-35%. And the phone feels warm.
Also check your battery to see if it had a lump on it. If so then its a bad battery and needs to be replaced asap.
I ordered a replacement on ebay should be here by next weekend. Only $4

I don't think its the battery in this case.

I had a problem like this and still do at times. Part of it was the stock kernel I was running and the other part was the fact that the phone was not fully going into the low power state it was supposed to. I now only loose about 5 to 7% in the worst cases. That is better than the 20 to 30% I was loosing before.
Hi! Last night, I charged my battery to 100% then left it on overnight, turning everything off (wifi, bluetooth, notifications) and made sure to clear all running applications. Usually, my battery only drains about 5-10% during the 8 or so hours that I sleep, which is what I expect. But all of sudden, last night it drained ALL THE WAY. When I woke up, it was at 1%!! Does anybody know why this happened? I know that the reception at my house sucks (dropped calls, failure to send texts sometimes, etc.), but that never really hurt my phone that much overnight. I'll upload some pics of my battery stats. I appreciate any help!
Your phone didn't go into deep sleep more than likely.
Was your battery old???....it might have lost its power to charge

This app could help.
It has to be a rogue app. I would fix permissions, wipe caches, and reboot. That should fix the problem, if not, you will probably have to reflash your Rom.

You are the 1%.
But no seriously. It's probably a rogue app.
By any chance do you live in the Fort Wayne area? This happened and no signal will quickly kill a battery.

I decided to look at your pictures, and sure enough, you have 0 signal for pretty much the entire night (red bar) which kept your phone awake the whole night. At the end you have so-so signal (mustard color). 92% cell standby power usage. Yup.
So this can be chalked up to signal issue.

No not yet. I don't think I need to, because I didn't change anything to my phone except reinstall AVAST? And I'm not exactly sure how to do all of your suggestions because I'm still kind of new to rooting....

If your phone wasn't in a different spot than normal, then perhaps there was a network outage in your area overnight.
I had cell standby at 90 or so % one night too and it drained me down to 40% batt over night. It only happened once tho
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
You can put it in airplane mode if the bad signal keeps draining it. I have to do that when I'm at work. Used to be I would get to work with about 85-90% and 7 hours later with almost no use it would be down to 20%. I switched it to airplane mode at work and only lose about 2% over the 7 hours now. (imoseyon's lean kernel with a cpu screen off profile also helps)

I went to bed normal. Plugged in my s3 into the charger . My battery was like at 4%. I leave the phone on because I use it as an alarm clock. I woke up at 6am and NY phone is really really hot I have no idea why? Why would this be? So I turn it off and let it cool down. Mean the screen was off and everything. Could my charger be bad or? It was so hot you couldn't touch the screen for long.

well do you have a custom rom on it does it have fast charge is it on? kernel? oc? voltage tweak?

We're going to need more info then that I am afraid to figure out what happened (if we can at all )
You flashed Clean Rom... did you
Use a custom kernel?
Flash the new firmware for the new update?
Flash the new radio for the update?
Any other things you flashed with the rom?
Any apps that have root permission?
I don't think it could be a bad charger .... key words don't think...
If it's not software related and it happens again it could be a bad cell in the battery perhaps and it's still trying to charge to capacity .... the more info you give us the more we can try and trouble shoot it.
Thank You for messaging XDA Anonamooose Tech support .....LOL
Anyone else have some insight?
Actually this happened before on my gnex . Thought the battery was bad but it can't be this battery also. What's weird was it charged it to 15% instead of 100% its like all the power after 15% was just heating it up instead of charging? Or could the battery be bad because I. Plugged it in again and it charged 33% in like 55minutes a 4400mah anker battery

Taking a hot expanded object and exposing it to quick contraction is how you pop solders and crack circuit boards.Exposing to sudden heat is not as bad as sudden cold. Plastic shrinks at a different rate then metal, and so on.
You got lucky.
I have the chinese variant of the standard battery and it's not nearly as good.

this morning my alarm went off a couple times, and I snoozed it - I woke up shortly later and noticed my phone was just vibrating every few seconds (it was plugged in charging). I pulled the battery and repeated and it happen again. I have a wireless charging mod so I pulled the strips that connect to the phone to see if that fixed it and it didn't.
I have a spare battery (I was using ANKER 2200 Mah at the time) and put it in (this is a stock battery) and it booted fine. this is strange, because not even 10 minutes the phone was working fine with that battery.
I'm running the latest cleanrom, and have been for the past couple months with basically no issues. Any Ideas?
Hmm the only idea I have is do a full wipe and reflash. Do a backup before
