Phone sits overnight, fully charged battery discharges from 40% to just about empty. Only in this event will the phone boot and charge as normal. Stock current rom.
Now once its on it works as normal, except that once its booted it will not power off and reboot or power cycle and reboot until it has sat for some hours.
At this point it may show a black screen, show a grey battery, show a green battery with dots under it. Unable to get it into bootloader mode without a jig.
Jig may or may not work without pulling and replacing the battery.
Flashed stock bootloaders with Odin, same thing.
Any thoughts?

Oh I did, same thing. Battery works fine in another phone.

Ever since I have flashed 4ext recovery My battery jumps percentages. For example: If i charge my phone from ~30% overnight with the device switched on, as soon as I unplug my phone it's fine, but after about 15 minutes the battery plummets to about 90% without me even using it! Second thing, if I decide to reboot into recovery to flash a theme or mod or whatever the percentage when in recovery mode shows that it is higher than what is indicated when fully turned on?? And once again, if i reboot from there, when the device has turned on the battery has plummeted even further to 50%! Yes I've deleted batterystats.bin and calibrated the battery, and yet still this happens!
I experienced a very similar issue with my last phone (HTC Desire) and that was linked to it being "USB bricked" and was able to resolve my problem.
Thank you all in advance

Wel with my experience (do you have a percentage mod installed?) uot kitchen mods react weird with my device. The battery isn't necessarily draining. The mod isn't representing the actual percentage.
My work.around was as follows
Drain to 2 percent
Turn phone off and charge over night
(this way the battery decides when its full)
Deal with percentage reading being way off for a whole day. When it dies turn it back on and there will be the residual percentage that was skipped over. Let that drain down. Then try and turn it back on (repeat steps)
After phone dies completely then charge once again overnight with phone Off.
Wake up unplug phone, boot into recovery, plug phone back in, wipe dalvik/cache then bat stats. Reboot and unplug.
That's what I do. Sounds like a lot but you get a routine after a while. Ya a lot if people percentage mods do that to me.
Hope this helped
Good luck
I'm mobile right now
I have the same problem with one diference, when battery jump - phone turn off
HW/SW specifics at bottom (if it helps)
Following the instructions provided this great site I added a custom ROM last year and for 6-8 months everything worked perfectly.
I was getting two days charge out of my battery which was is a 200% improvement. I'm not on my phone all the time.
Lately however, my phone has only been charging to 90%, and now 82% and the batt. drains before the day ends.
Using the same instructions here, I restored the phone using CWM with the files listed below (which are the same files I used originally) to restore my phone.
Everything seems to be working fine but I found a bunch of old files and app links to programs I had before so obviously I didn't do a full wipe which is what I was intending to do.
Can I restore my phone by going into CWM > Wipe data/factory reset or do I have to use ODIN to go back to factory firmware (I just downloaded I727RUXLF3_I727RRWCLF3_RWC.zip) to reset then go through the steps all over again.
Pardon the lack of terminology as I have only done this twice so I'm still new to this.
I just don't know what I need to do to get it back to stock and by stock I mean the ROM below.
Thank you all in advance. Hopefully I have provided enough information.

SKY ICS 4.2E R5goo.zip

If you want to go back to like New condition I would do the odin process. You'll have to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip file you downloaded, the stock rom not the sky files. User 7-zip to extract. Put the extracted file in PDA in odin. Only have the auto reboot and f.reset checked in odin.
You'll then have to odin your recovery back on.

Thanks JD I'll give that a shot.
Condition your battery for it to show correctly. Drain battery completely till it won't even turn on. Then plug it in and charge completely with it off. Once done boot phone into recovery cwm. Wipe battery stats. Then reboot.
Make sure battery is not hot to ensure a good charge after draining battery.

First off its actually hard on a battery fully discharge it. Second wiping battery stats does absolutely nothing for the battery or the android system so this tells me you have no clue what you're doing.

Weird battery problem - charging
Ok, here's a weird one, you've probably seen before but it's new to me.
I wiped my phone back to factory stock using Vin's instructions. Followed them to a T and had no problems.
Kies then wanted to update my software (now at 4.1.2) which I let happen because I was just going to wipe it again anyways.
My battery still won't charge past 80%. When turned off, it shows 100% but the second I turn it on it immediately drops to 80%.
The battery life seems to be OK so that's not a problem.
Last night I swapped batteries with my wife's phone (factory stock SGH-T989D).
Here is where it gets weird (for me).
Her phone with my batt. charged to 100% and stays at 100% when turned on.
My phone with her batt. only charges to 80%. Again, when turned off it shows 100%.
So the battery is ruled out as being faulty I would think.
My phone has been factory wiped.... or has it? Did I screw up the wipe and leave some remnant behind?
Is there something I can install that will tell me exactly what is going on?
Suggestions?
I apologize if this type of question has been asked a thousand times but if the battery calibration is a 'myth' then I don't even know what to look for anymore.
Thanks
Try taking the battery out and leaving it out for 5 minutes. While it's out press and hold power for twenty or thirty seconds. That will discharge any residual juice in the phone. Pop the battery back in and power on.
Don't know what else to try

I tried that several different times over the weekend. I got it up to 84% from 80% but now it shows 100% charged within a few seconds after plugging in the phone while it is turned on. When I pull the cable, it goes back down to 84%.
I'm thinking of wiping it again but I'm not sure that is going to resolve the problem. Don't know what else to do/try.

Don't ever do this. Draining your battery below 15-20% is actually bad for it, as the heat generated by simply charging it while idle does damage. It's also been shown that the lower the depth of discharge, the more cycles your battery will have in it.
Also, Android devs who work for the big G have said that battery stats are essentially meaningless in this generation of phones. If you do calibrate your phone, don't run the battery all the way down. Get the 100% baseline, then use it as normal.
Download the battery calibration app. I believe Skyrockets max out at 4330 mV, but I could be thinking of the Note II. If the battery calibration app shows that you're in that neighborhood, who cares if the meter says 100% or not? You're getting a full charge.

Can you recommend a battery calibration app?
I did swap out the batteries as per the post above. I was thinking of charging the wife's batt. to 100% and putting it in my phone. Then do the pull the batt. for five minute trick. At this point it's all about the hail mary.
I'll keep you posted
Update: HAHA! Just gets better and better. Downloaded two battery calibration apps. Both say to charge to 100% before operating... FML.
I use Battery Calibration. It shows the mV along with the charge level. If you're charging to 4100 mV+ when it freezes at 81%, you're doing ok. If you're only charging to 3000-some mV, your battery's borked.

Been testing a few things. I charged my battery to 83% (full) and put it in my wife's phone. It registers as 100% so it's not the battery.
Yeah, I could live with it but it bugs me as I'm sure it would bug you too!
The problem I'm running into is when I put the battery back in it goes to 83%.
I installed two battery calibration tools. Both called 'Battery Calibration' One says it can't operate until the battery is charged to 100% so I'm screwed there.
The other one says my phone needs to be rooted. I thought I had already taken care of this but I went through Vincom's steps again to root (just to be sure) and now I routinely get a "E-signature verification failed"
The CWM (ver 6) doesn't give me the option to apply from external card, nor does it have an advanced section. I think I am going to wipe the phone again and use the old CWM.
===UPDATE===
I ended up wiping my phone again, going back to CWM 5 and SKYICS 4.2. Wiped everything and voila. Battery is reading 100% again.
Thanks TJ for your assistance and patience.

Isn't it a great feeling when a potential hardware (e.g., $$$) issue turns out to be a simple software fix?
So I got my hands on a problematic OPO a few days ago that wont charge at all.
It wont charge when connected to the wall charger nor when plugged in a PC. The only way the previous owner was able to charge it was taking to a phone repair service where they would just take out the battery, charge it using an external battery charger and put it back in. Then the phone shows 50% battery all the time, never goes up or down, and lasts around 2-3 days. The owner got tired of visiting the repair shop every 2 or 3 days to do that and handed it over to me. I thought the USB flex cable is the problem so I ordered this one: (oops cant post links) to replace it but it wont be here for another 3 weeks.
So these are the facts so far:
Battery has been replaced, so its not a faulty one(or so I have been said)
Charger and usb cable are OK as I have tried a few different ones.
Phone connects to the PC and can browse it for files.
When switched ON and plugged in battery says "Not Charging"
When switched OFF the green battery animates to 100% but never goes up more than 50% permanently.
Any ideas on where I can find an external battery charger(not a powerbank)? Ebay and Aliexpress don't seem to have anything like that.
Did I make the right choice ordering that flex cable or did I only waste my money?
Any ideas as to what the problem might be? Anything I can try at the moment?
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Just a thought, but have you tried flashing the factory images, or even another ROM? It could be a software issue, but if that doesn't work then I am not sure what the problem is.

Isn't this the stock one?
installed ColorOS to rule out the software but no luck. It says: "Battery error. Check the battery contact status". Should I order a new battery or am I wasting even more money?
Battery Stuck at 50%
Hi All,
Even I have faced this issue 2 days back. But it was resolved when I replaced my battery with the new one. First thing is that the replacement battery should be empty for eg. 0%. After you inserted the replacement battery keep the phone for 1/2 hr charging. After 1/2hr press the power button once if its boots fine and then the battery percentage will immediately reset from 50% to 0% and starting showing the charging animation once you boot into the OS. Whereas if it doesn't boot then press and hold the power button for atleast 5 vibrations without the micro usb connected to the power source. Then again keep the phone for charging for 5mins and again press the power button. This time it will definitely boot into the OS and the battery percentage will reset from 50% to 0% and it will start charging. Then keep the phone for charging until it reaches 100%. I hope this would help all the people who are facing this kind of issues.

Just had the same problem after replacing a battery. when looking at the battery connectors, the bottom right of the 6 contacts is bad.
Solution, take your battery back and tell them to give you another one. If it is on the board, clean it or replace the motherboard.
I found the issue! my OP3 has the same problem after i dropped my phone 1 week after i changed my battery. Becoz i did not put double sided tape when i replace the battery, the battery connected ripped off the connector on the mainboard, hence, only half of the connector on the motherboard now. So, technically speaking, the battery only connected to the mainboard with half the connector. Not sure if you understand what im talking about
Hi,
My P6200, which was running the latest build of CM12, ran out of battery a while ago, so, I charged it up fully, seeing the battery charging icon, and took it off charge. However, despite the battery icon informing me that I have a full charge, the device does not boot in to recovery, ODIN, or system. It only boots to the charger icon.
Has any one else experienced this issue? My P1000 also died recently (but it won't even charge). My P1000 booted up fine!
EDIT: the tablet will now only start on a Samsung charger, and the battery icon appears, however, it does not charge; the battery icon freezes trying to load. Download mode works, but only on the charger (so no ODIN). Nothing else works.

My phone is stuck to 0% of battery, no matter how much i charge it, it still remain at 0%.
It doesn't show up the battery charge icon, even if it's off, but the charging works because i feel the phone and the charger warm, but the led of charging doesn't show up even if the icon of the battery in navbar changes.
I already tried i clean flash, and now i flashed the last factory image, but the problem isn't gone.
There's another problem, when i shut down or i reboot the phone, it seems to die. It doesn't power up, but after some attempts keeping the power button pressed for much seconds, it finally turns on. Same for fastboot mode.
How did i arrive to this situation? I was running los14, i installed substratum, i applied 4 or 5 themes and there was no problem, till when i had a bootloop. So, i went in recovery and flashed the rom to fix the problem, but when i pressed "reboot", the phone shut down and died, and problems are begun.
One years ago i changed the battery, i still have the old one, should i try to change the battery?
Yes, try a different battery to see if that helps.
I changed battery but nothing seems changed.
It's really strange, the phone runs well anyway, i'm writing with it right now..
It's like the phone can't reach battery status. There's no app that is able to get info from battery.
Actually, something changed; when the phone is off and i plug it in charge, it shows a battery with a question mark
Sounds like the battery charging circuit
