I've had my phone on with the brightness turned up for the past few hours and it's showing 100%. What's weird is that this morning it was showing 60% or so and after a reboot it's now stuck at 100%. I'm on Terasek's CM7 and Faux 050 Kernel. Any ideas?
Have you tried another reboot and/or plugging it in to charge and then unplugging it? If not I would try that first. Otherwise, you may want to do a titanium backup and re-flashing whatever rom you are using.

I've rebooted several times, and plugging it in doesn't charge since the phone thinks it's already at 100%.
Have you tried plugging it in with the battery out and holding power while you put the battery in? May spoof it into charging.

The problem is the meter always showing 100%. It won't charge unless the phone thinks it's under 100%.
Another alternative may be to run it until it dies.

I would try to clear cache and re flash the kernel. It sounds like an issue of the old DS kernels where the display would be a weird % but the battery would last longer than usual.
Try toggling Airplane Mode On and Off... That should fix your problem.
Oh great, now it won't turn on anymore. I toggled airplane mode and it went to 6% and then died. Now it won't turn back on regardless of plugging it in.

What's weird is that the phone won't even turn on with the battery out and plugged into the charger. I just got this thing from Ebay a few days ago and also noticed that the screen in the upper right is lifting up too along with a bunch of dust under the screen.

When I emailed the buyer about not stating the clump of dust in the middle of the screen he said it can't be noticed when the screen is on even though you can see the dust ion the pic he posted on the listing page. No mention of the screen lifting either. It's back on now, but I can't help but think that it might not turn on again. Battery percent is working fine now that airplane mode is off. So with airplane mode on the battery percent doesn't work?

Try pulling the battery out, and leave it out for about 5-10 minutes and then put it back and try to turn it on again and see if that works.

I have to say i was having the same issue today. I installed the latest AOKP MS4 from Whitehawkx yesterday (excellent ROM).
I pulled the battery for about 10 minutes and it worked.

I'm using a Verizon SIII rooted with the bootloader unlocked. This problem just showed up today. I put the phone on the charger at 13% then, more than 2 hours later still on the charger my phone drops to 8%. I want to restore to from a Nandroid but I'm afraid the phone will die out before it can finish. What should I do?

Sounds like either your phone was not charging at all, your battery has gone completely bad, or your phone is not reporting the battery stats correctly. Try a different outlet? Use an external charger? Different cable?
What all have you tried? I.E. changing wall plugs, doing a battery pull that kind of stuff.

I got this phone quite recently. I hope the battery isn't bad. But the battery is charging, or at least the phone thinks it is because my red LED is on indicating the phone is charging. It may be data related as I turned airplane mode and power saving on and its now charging. I'll be able to restore to a Nandroid soon and hopefully whatever is causing my problem will go away. Anyway have any other idea what could have happened?

Well it really depends what your charging it with. If its not getting enough power from a certain outlet or power source then it might burn juice faster than its taking in.

I got my GS3 Tuesday and i had to replace mine Friday because it was dead and wouldn't take a charge so it might be your battery.
Why don't you shut the phone off and then charge it. Then restore your back up.

I got on a plane heading from New Orleans to San Francisco via Las Vegas. I turned my phone off just before boarding and didn't turn it on again until I landed in San Francisco. My battery was nearly fully charged as It had only been off the charger for about an hour and I wasn't using it. When I turned it on in San Francisco 7 hours later, it was nearly dead, with only 20% charge. I definitely saw the power off animation. It was definitely off when I took it out of my pocket, but the battery use told me the screen had used up most of the charge. What the hell happened? Has this happened to anyone else?
As a precaution, on the return flight I pulled the battery after powering down. I did not have any battery drain on the flight home after the battery pull.
Maybe the shutdown animation took a very long time and kept the screen on.
I have never heard of this, so I have no idea.
I've had this happen to me a few times. I power off my (fully charged) Charge at night before going up to bed and when I come back down in the morning and power up (and it goes through the power up cycle) I find I have limited battery left. I haven't tried to track down what is happening since I simply replace the battery with a fully charged one and continue on with my day.
I found that I had some file on my SD Card was draining my battery.

I don't suppose you remember which file that would have been.
So when the Charge is powered off it really isn't powered off?

I think it's just a glitch of the battery meter. Either it was lying to you when it was full or lying when it was 20%. If it doesn't happen on a regular basis then the battery should be fine, right?
I think we've all had it happen (at least to me a few times) where I switch out batteries that I know have been charged and the phone says that it's dead. The solution I found was to take the battery out and try to power it on, then put it back in or put in the fresh one. I don't know why, but it seems to get rid of some sort of bad juju.

Actually when my phone glitches out and reboots sometimes it shows the battery level more than 50% below what it used to be when it died. A glitch in the kernel that reports the battery level could be the culprit.

Hi guys. I have a weird problem with my htc one x that started recently. I got it about a year ago but from like last week, it keeps on shutting down (not restarting) and then I have to wait a bit before I turn it back on. This is because if I turn it back on straightaway it starts to overheat and then turns off. When I manage to turn it back on it shuts down after a bit of usage. The only way it works properly is when it's connected to a charger which basically means its unusable. I'm thinking that maybe I just need to change the battery but since it will take some time and effort, I wanna get some opinions and be sure. Thanks in advance. The phone is on official stock and I've tried factory reset.
The fact that it doesnt overheat and shut down when plugged in leads me to believe its not the battery since the battery gets even hotter when plugged in. Also, since you are able to turn it back on, that means theres still a charge.

It does get extremely hot when it's plugged in and sometimes turns off but that's only when I'm using it for web browsing or something. If I'm not using it when it's plugged in that much then it's ok. And whenever I turn it on it keeps giving different battery readings. Sometimes it will say 80%. Then if I restart it it will say 30%. And sometimes it will have an exclamation mark where it's meant to say the battery reading :/
Hmm well you can certainly change the battery then. Have you taken this phone apart before? Be gentle or you could end up breaking the screen and also, you have to take the whole thing apart to change the battery wince the battery connects on the underside of the mainboard

It's charging just fine, but it doesn't show that it's charging. Running GT-P5100 CyanogenMod 4.2.2.
Keep in mind that it's charging fine, but doesn't show me that it's charging. Do I factory reset?
Try THIS way
1. Reboot in to recovery mode
2. Wipe battery status
3. Reboot
Hope it helps

Didn't work. Last night, I left it at 28%. I was up for another hour, so I checked it. It was 39%, though it still didn't show that it was charging. When I woke up, it said it's 100%. ATM it's 98%

This is not what I mean. My tablet is charging alright, but it just doesn't notify me that it's charging. You know up there, the charging circle spins when it's charging. Not for me, but it's still charging.
It DID spin in the past, though.
Have you changed charging cords? Is this through a wall or computer USB?

Well, not a wall... I used a plug extender, and tried it in the wall but still doesn't show. I might try buying a new charger.
By the way, the charger is a USB that is plugged in the you know, plug. I think you know.
Anyways, My friend borrowed me his white iPad, and I noticed that the plug is from his iPad. I called him to look at his plug, and it said it's made by Samsung.
