I am on stock rooted rom, and i have removed all the bloatware using root explorer. Since the last couple of days i am facing a weird battery issue.The phone takes forever to charge using the wall charger, and within one hour the charge drops to 1%, if i continue to use it without charging the charge slowly returns and goes upto 100% again. and then it drops to 1%, and the story continues.:cyclops:
I have taken a screenshot of the battery.
ps: i have done a factory data reset/got back to stock/ trying to install sungsonic hd.
So if on stock you've got this bug your battery is probably broken.

Hi,
I have recently tried out a few ROMs with my Nexus S to try to get better battery life. I tried CodeName Android and then figured I would try Slim ICS afterwards. I completely wiped everything and installed Slim ICS.
I have observed the following:
- Battery was ~40% when I installed Slim ICS
- I used it until the battery depleted
- Plugged phone into the wall charger
- Started the phone shortly afterwards (~25 minutes) and it says battery is 100% and then the phone randomly shut off
- Phone has been plugged into the wall charger and when I try to start it now sometimes it boots completely and then shuts off. Other times it just shuts off before it finishes booting up. The few times it does fully boot up, it says the battery is 100%
I've read through many postings about calibration but at this point I am not even able to fully turn on the phone even when its plugged into the wall.
Is this expected or is something else going on? I've never seen anything like this when I had the stock ICS. Why would erroneously report 100% but then not even let me fully turn on the phone? Thanks!

Maybe a bad battery?

Battery is fine. I ended up letting it charge a few hours and it now fully boots up and battery is almost fully charged now.
Whats strange is at times, when the battery was close to empty, when turned off and plugged into the wall, it showed the battery as being completely charged so I don't think it was charging. I had never observed this behavior with the stock ICS.

If it happens again I would suggest taking it to a sprint repair

same problem
Even I have faced the same problem whenever I reboot keeping my pfone charging,
This is very normal,
just let the battery drain completely and next time charge it till 100% it will work perfectly,
It happens with me whenever I install new rom.
basically the battery indicator shows incorrect status also battery will drain very quickly later but once you finish installation just let your phone charge for 3 hours . Problem will get solved

Also, you could try clearing the battery stats in clockwork mod recovery

Thanks. So it sounds like its more of a generic issue with ROMS in general as I never observed this before putting on a custom ROM.
Im having terrible problems with my battery on this phone. My screen cracked so i replaced it, after replacing it i noticed that it would only charge upto 94% which i didnt mind as i was happy the phone was working again. I then flashed xbsall's ICS port, after 30 mins of use the battery dropped to 0%. Thats when i started getting the 0% battery problem, i charge it but doesnt move past 0%. Ive gone back to gingerbread but still the same problem. I can get the phone to work if i leave it off for a while or if i give it a knock but thats not guaranteed to make it turn on all the time. Ive flashed the paranoid android rom now but the battery goes to 0% more often on this rom. Is there anything i can do?

I've got my razr recently but faced with quite a strange problem. I use the oem firmware. After it is charged I use the phone as usual(however it discharges rather quickly) but then the showing battery percent just stuck(it can be any percent 73,61,8 whatever) and it doesn't change for a ling time (5-8) even if I use browser or play games. And after that period it discharges again. Any solutions to this problem?

How many full discharge/recharge cycles has your phone undergone since you got it? If it is rather new, there is nothing to worry about, it takes a couple of cycles until the system battery stats are adjusted to your battery.

It isn't new, it is used
I have a XT910 that started doing something similar a few days ago.
I left it charging overnight, and it didn't go past 30%... Seems like the battery was charged, because it lasted for a day or so, but even after restarting it and charging it turned off, it won't go past 30% ...
I wonder if it's a bug or a physical problem?
The phone is using stock ICS, rooted.

it is quite a different problem. your phone doesn't charge but mine does charge but doesn't discharge
Ok, so over the past couple of weeks I've had more than a few occasions where my battery will drain very rapidly.
It happened again tonight, and I watched the battery % indicator drop from 48 to 15 over the course of about 15-20 mins. Once it hit 15 it then shut down completely, apparently completely drained, as I put it back on charge and it restarted charging from 0%.
I got the 5.1.1 ota update (Stock EE UK rom) last week, but it's been no help.
I've attached a screenshot of the battery usage. On screen time has been about 3 hrs today.
Anyone any ideas? Would it be worth rooting, or is it a dud battery?
Also, using the Nova launcher BTW.
Well. I haven't that problem but got a very similar.one was charging.
My phone had battery dead and the plugged the fast charge when it was off. The charging image displayed the battery in 8% after a few minutes as normal, but when I powered the device the battery indicated that was charge at 56%. I was shocked and immediately thought that battery had a problem. Then I used the device hard to get the battery drained but was normally going down. Then restarted device and the battery indicated 18%, much closer to the real charge.
Anyway, I had this issue on my old SGS3 and then remembered that I had to delete cache from recovery. Once I made it the battery started to work normally.
The fact is that I'm on G920I with the Indian sotck version of 5.1.1 and I never had rooted or flashed my SGS6 afraid of tripping Knox. So I recommend that you. Delete cache from recovery and check battery. If the problem persists definitely your device is bad.
You may have a defective battery. Return your S6 back to Samsung for battery warranty replacement.
Recently had to replace battery.
Phone was shutting almost immediately after it was disconnected from charger. Charging status when not switched on showed the battery kinda going in reverse. Phone was really odd as it would suggest the battery had 100% charge and then within minutes of disconnecting it was shutting down.
I tried a factory reset/refresh with no change. So I ordered a Genuine replacement battery off flea bay and installed that last Thursday.
Initially phone seemed ok, then wen a bit weird and shut down even though charge was like at 70% or so. Wouldn't restart until plugged in and then in shutdown mode the battery/charging indicator would show 0% and then very quickly showed 70%. Good bit though was it was going up and not down like before.
Fully charged phone overnight. It then seemed really good and lasted until Tuesday with 66% charge still showing. I had not installed FB or Twitter which made a huge difference. Then yesterday it just shutdown again. When plugged in showed 0%, within minutes back to 70% and then charged to 100% in the space of an hour or so.
So I am looking for any advice. Is this just calibration issues that the phone needs to get past. Is it possible the phone has corruption int he ROM.
I appreciate it might be a hardware fault but seems weird that the replacement battery is clearly showing a big improvement suggesting battery was EOL after 2 years use.
TIA

Same problem here i will try to install the oficial rom of xt890 if works i back here if not i don't know what to do
Sooo............issue is still present. Odd thing which I am unable to confirm, due to rnadomness of shutdowns, it that I think it is slowly learning the state of the battery as it originally was shutting down at 70% after 2-3 days on standby. then 66% hen 56%. I did a clear cache partition and a fresh install but still the issue was present.
Clearly the new battery is lasting longer than the old one, just the phone does not seem to know to reduce the charge indicator all the way to 0%.
Anyone any idea why this might be happening.
TIA

Just to add i'm having the same problem.
Symptoms started last week running the stock kitkat rom so i ordered and a fitted a new battery. Initially everything looked good phone said 100% left it over night and noticed it had shut off when i came back to it. Plugged it in to the charger and it said 0% so i charged back to 100%, booted up android and almost immediately it begins discharging rapidly, i would say within 15 minutes its back down to 0%.. I've done this a few times now even left it on charge overnight for 8 hours but its still discharging rapidly everytime. The craziest thing is even if it says 0% in android i can still boot in to recovery and flash away so clearly there is charge in the battery its just android thats out of sync.
What i've tried so far:
Different wall chargers/USB leads/Outlets
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed CM11
Factory Reset several times
Various battery calibration apps
My next step is going to be trying RSD to flash the stock ROM but beyond that i dont know what to do.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with my Razr i, replaced the battery and it's still discharging very fast
Eventually managed to resolve my new battery issue simply by fully charging and discharging several times. It started to hold charge after the 7th charge and after several more discharges it's now up to full capacity.
