I have a nexus S 4g i recently bought used and it came with "original" battery. When i plugged it in, it turned on with not problems and showed a charging icon but after 20 sec it would say CHARGED and show the battery to be at 0%. It will not charge any further even if i power down and charge or use usb, wall chargers. I removed the battery and placed it in another samsung phone and it worked, it showed the battery at 90%. What can it be? the battery? since it might not be for nexus S; can it be the kernel? I flashed the newest netarchy kernel and that did not help. I flashed a new ROM that i think includes everything and it did not detect the battery.
Also, in the Status it says battery status is FULL and battery level is 0%
Help!
Looks like your battery controller or your phone controller is not working. Have you tried using the phone? How long does it work?
How can i fix the battery controller?
Phone turns off when i remove the power supply, however when i was flashing i got the android with a triangle behind him, i removed the power supply and it stayed one using the power from the battery.

If the battery controller it's no working then you can't fix it....you can only send it to a repair center, if the phone is under the warranty period they will repair free....
Have you tried wiping battery stats?

Tried a different battery or changed the rom?
Yes, tried different batteries and it did not boot up. Also tried 2 different kernels, and 2 different ICS ROMS and did not work. Unrooted it and locked bootloader to bring it to stock (2.3) and it did not work. It does stay on if the initial google logo freezes and i take the charger out, the screen stays on through the battery.
Let's hope it's not the phone controller...but I would recommend trying to use another battery first or try Mugen calibration app if you're rooted.
Fixed the issue after Samsung repair declared it to water damaged. I got it back, opened it up and looked for any water damage and cleaned this little spot by scrapping of the rust???.. and it worked..

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.
I have a regular samsung battery and an extended battery for my infuse. Throughout the day i will be using the phone and it will shut down and then flash the ibfuse charging wheel and then show an empty white battery with no charge.
I have found other posts online that say to pull the battery and when you put it back in to immediately plug in a charger and it boots up. This works for me every time however it is very annoying when it does this five to ten times a day. And it happens with either battery. Both batteries do this when fully charged.
I am getting a new phone soon and blowing this one up with a stick of explosives. But any known fix would be appreciated until then.

Have you tried wiping the Batteries' stats? I have no clue if that will help since they do it when fully charged, but who knows... It may help/work.
I have a similar problem, though the phone doesn't seem to shut down much anymore. wiping battery stats did not help. It's slowly gotten better, but far from perfect.
When the phone is on I can charge it and the phone will recognize that it is charging... but if i unplug it and plug it back in it doesn't seem to recognize that it's being charged. It's been the same on several different ROMs.
If I shut down my phone it will absolutely not start without pulling the battery and plugging in the charger.
My contract is up in May or June... As much as I enjoy all the work that's been done for this phone my particular phone seems to be getting a little long in the tooth.
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.
Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727R
ICS RUXLF3radio.zip
SKY ICS 4.2E R5goo.zip
Sky ICS 4.2E-17.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?
I have a Galaxy Note Edge model number n915p.05 battery drains while phone is off
When battery is unplugged from phone phone will not turn on unless plugged into original charger even if battery is at 80%
If battery is removed and then plugged in and will not drain while is off unless turned on

Hello,
Can you please elaborate issue?

More in depth description of the problem
I Purchased a NOTE EDGE Used about 2 weeks ago, I was told the problem was a generic battery causing the phone to overheat, I bought A New battery which somewhat solved the overheating problem however upon using the phone even with a new battery I noticed there still is significant battery drain in a short time. Also When the phone is completely off the battery still drains at a fast rate, If plugged in the battery doesn't die but charges extremely slowly even with a rapid charger and rapid charge activated. Another Issue that I have is when I remove the battery the phone will not turn back on once its back inside unless plugged in and when I connect by usb to the computer it shows connected on the phone and on the computer but in programs such as Odin it doesn't show up unless I remove and re install the battery multiple times I've done all I can think of to fix this ( bought a new battery, tried re flashing the firmware, Shut off all unused apps and turned off all data Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, dimmed the screen, battery saver etc.. ) the phone drains regardless even when phone is completely powered down.

N.m. just googled it
After I updated to 6.0.1 update on my note edge , once the battery reaches 49% it just turns off , it doesn't turn on , while I put it for recharge the battery charge shows 49% and it turns on.
I have done 3 factory resets still the problem arise. I did factory reset to clear cache and to clear any errors in apps. This is my primary phone for work and I need to carry power bank all the time. Please assist
Time to change the battery. It is not about the percentage of the battery. It is more about that the voltage breaking. As it seems the battery can not longer hold its voltage due to battery age. When the voltage breaks, the device will automatically shut down to due low voltage

From what I notice is something is wrong, mine started to act weird earlier after I updated a latest ota firmware, before when I charge its take only maybe less then a hr to full charge, I did a factory reset now its take two hr to full charge, now monitor again
My battery went to hell also after this update and I just got a new one a few months ago

the only solution i see is to stop buying original battery replacment since it might not be the issue , rather slap a zerolemon 9000 mah battery on , it looks like a tank but at least the battery last lol.
Im still having trouble with mines too, injust dont understand why phone is draining battery while off and fast . You ciuld feel the heat off the phone while off...
Maybe you should try to get an extended battery pack? here's what i tried - so far so good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i70xqUNoYVE
