Battery acting strange - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

The last two days when my battery is getting down to 15 percent my phone is dying. After I plug it in to charge and power it up, it showing its at 1 percent. Any ideas what may be causing this?
Current phone: galaxy S3
Current ROM: Beans 14
Tweaked out with ktoonsez

Now I've been on charge for about two and a half hours and its only charged to 15 percent... I think my battery is shot

I've been getting weird stuff with mine also. You on 4.1.2 correct? It's not your battery, try another charger, reboot, replug it in, etc. I'm going back to 4.1.1. Getting lockups to that I didn't have on 4.1.1

Yea im on 4.1.2.
Very strange... I just pulled my battery and restarted after putting it back in and now its showing I have 73 percent. It showed 20 percent when I pulled

Weird battery glitch.

So, got this weird glitch. I'll have say 30% of my battery left and I'll power cycle and suddenly I'll have something like 4% left. And power cycling doesn't help or anything. And plugging it in just charges it from that 4%. Anybody got anything?

Just thought about this. I should probably let you know I'm on the latest official stock.

Im runnings the official Roger's GB ROM on my Infuse ATM and I've had similar issues. Mine goes a bit deeper though.
When I first got the phone, it wouldn't charge to 100%, whether it be on or off. When the phone finally charged to 100%, the second you unplug it, the battery widget I had and the built in battery meter on the phone said it was at 80%.
While using the battery, it would drain, sometimes suddenly dropping from 40% to 10%. The only way to get the phone to charge to 100% while its off is to charge it for about 8 hours or overnight. Even then, upon bootup, the phone read anywhere between 80%-85%
This is the OEM battery. Im going to try my luck with a battery off eBay that claims to be "OEM", but so far charging for 7 hours straight with the phone off, it wasn't able to reach 100%.
So im hoping it's not the phone itself. Ive charged the phone with various charges, usb cords, and used juice plotter to keep track of things. Definitely something fishy going on because my graphs always show a sudden jump from 85% to 100% in a span of less than a minute =\

I don't think it's b/c of the rom your on, happened to me when my phone was stock. I tried to let it die, but once it hit zero percent, it just kept going till the "true" battery percent was drained. Im on S7 now and it still happens occasionally..

[Q] How do i get my phone to power on ?

My phone was charging at 1% and then it just died and it won't turn back on now. Ive tried everything. Battery Pulls..tried Booting into recovery with just charger plugged in wont work.
Im running ICS :/
just let it charge for more then 10 minutes hold down power for maybe 10 seconds just give it time

i let it charge over night and still nothing
That's no bueno plug it into a computer and does it recognize? How about the battery does it feel hot? Maybe try a different outlet

did you try to pull battery? I had that problem once, pulling battery out and put it back in solved it for me.

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.

[Q] Battery Discharging while connected to charger

Hi guys,
I got a mt4gs a week ago and it charged the battery at first but then after 3 days of use i connect it to the charger but still the battery is discharging, I got another battery but still its discharging while connected to an ac adapter. I am rooted and running miktouch 0.5. should I return the phone?
If it's doing the same thing while connected to your computer thru the USB, I have to admit it DOES sound like a mechanical issue.
That was happening to me awhile ago too. Mine was due to the USB charging pins being bent. I took the phone apart and was able to bend them back using a safety pin.
You also might want to try a different cable.
As a precaution, I bought a couple ankers and wall charger so I always have a spare.
Good luck.

got a new charger but still didnt work, going to return it.
Also have a weird battery problem on mt4gs.
Battery seems to drain while connected on AC, whether it's being used or not, but a restart shows it with more power. e.g. if I restart @ 52% when I restart it says 79%. if I restart again it may be 32% or another almost random number. sometimes 17%, 82%, 92%. I've tried all sorts of apps and wiping batter stats in cw.
Once I left it off and plugged in and the led turned from orange to green. But power on showed 92%. I tried two different batteries, it seems to be the same.
I worked properly before and I can't seem to remember when I realized it was doing this. Yesterday I also noticed, when I pull the battery for a while date and time resets. Dec, 1 1974 I think, Internal battery dead?
Anyone have suggestions?

I'm also having that problem with mine. Its in the cm9rc buglist, affecting users of some aftermarket batteries. I have the Hyperion 3500. Suspecting battery firmware issues...its always been a little strange. Reporting %100 for way too long, then declining normally for a while, then dropping from %30 to nothing pretty rapidly. Now on CM9 rc reporting is just random and inaccurate. Time to spend for an Anker. Ready to get rid of this heavy double-thick battery anyways. With consistent improvements in battery life I don't think I need it anymore.

Hmmm. Although I'm on virtuous Inquisition now. I was having these issues on the stock tmo from which prompted me to upgrade. Was on same virtuous Inquisition before that but went to stock because I just love the Genius button. :what:

I swapped out for the highly regarded anker batteries and my reporting problems have gone away. Battery drain now reports accurately.

Hoping that it would resolve I finally got a pair of anker with the charger. My problems didn't go away. Just the anker running 15° cooler

[Q] Sudden battery drop in official jb leak

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.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
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.

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..

(Q) Zerolemon battery not fully charging?

Hey guys, just got my lemon 2 days ago and its going great. I got about a 2 days on the first charge. I plugged it in at 2% like the instructions say and it started charging. I woke up this morning and it said it is fully charged and I took it off and as soon as I did, it went to 59% and has been draining really fast. Within 30 min its down to 52. What's going on?

That's happened to me on stock battery before, I think it might still be charging it when it isn't actually 100% like the phone indicated. I just plug it back to be sure. Let it get to 100%. My zero lemon never did that but it sounds like something common

Follow what Joshua said. Be sure it's the factory cable and charger, remember a few people saying it may be their cable. Of course they had a few to test.

You can also try an external charger. Charge it out side the phone. Idk if you can calibrate it but that might be worth a shot.
