I Have finally busted the myth of infamous battery that hang at 100% until you reboot the phone. Some said it's the lower amped chargers, an issue with battery, and issue with the cable, charging dock or a wild combiantion of all, but i can confirm that it's none of that.
I've done many tests in the past 2 weeks, looked at many threads, solutions, suggestions. I've been able to isolate the problem to ONE variable using a bunch of test with stock batteries, andida batteries, stock chargers, charging docks, stock cables or other cables.
I've had a 2nd skyrocket for about a week because i called up rogers to have my battery exchanged and the only way they could do that was if they send me the entire phone and i would just take out the battery and send the rest back. In any case, i've taked that second skyrocket and made a different bunch of tests with both phone.
My conclusion: It has nothing to do with the battery, charger or cable, the only culprit is BATTERY CALIBRATION. Every time i installed a new rom or flashed back to stock, the problem was absent UNTIL i recalibrated the battery. From that point, every time i would charge to 100%, the battery would hang at 100%. I've tried this at least 5 times, on both stock and custom roms, stock and andida battery, on 2 skyrockets, and every single time the problem appeared was ONLY after calibrating the battery.
Now that we know this, is there a patch that can be made for this? or an update to the actual app?

I am glad this has fixed your problem, but those of us that have spent hours and days troubleshooting this have found it does not correct the issue for everyone..
I can still duplicate the issue in any combination, as mentioned in the other thread, on two phones, 8 cables, 7 batteries now, and 4 power blocks
As also mentioned in the other thread, running the battery calibration app does not resolve the issue in ANY of my testing.
As we concluded in the other thread, there are multiple causes for this issue. Yours is obviously cured by running the calibration app.

Did I misread? I thought the OP said the battery calibration was the culprit, not the cure.

Exactly, battery calibration is the cause of this. If you dont believe me, restore to stock, and dont calibrate, you will NEVER get the hang problem. I've tried, 5 times, every time the problem was consistent with calibrating the battery
ok gotcha..but in my testing , restoring back to stock and NOT calibrating the battery had no effect either...it still stuck....
so what now lol

odin, stock recoveries..trust me, we tried it.
I am glad you fixed YOUR problem, but it does not solve the general issue. Hell, a number of people having the issue are stock, and can't even run the calibration.
just for the hell of it I am going to do it all over again tomorrow, though I have spent more time on the subject than I care to at this point.
it worked 5 times on 2 different phone... both with stock and andida extended battery

I am not saying it didn't work for you...just that it isn't a fix all, just as the "turn on all power saving functions" isn't a fix all.
trust me, I would love to be wrong, but I am not. Not only can a reproduce the issue, but it affects stock phones as well. Battery calibration requires root...so it isn't a factor in those cases.
Man, you guys have really bad luck.
I reflash at 100%, recalibrate, everything constantly, it'll never hang.
That's really weird. :/
As with everyone other post, this is simply one scenario... I think I can speak for most of us in that, we have all found (in most cases) a situation/setup in which we can prevent the issue, in my case I have multiple batteries and 3 phones and having "matched" a battery to each phone that has resolved my problem. I've yet to see the issue in weeks testing MANY scenarios.
Battery calibration has absolutely nothing to do with whether I seen the issue or not.
Yeah rather than arguing back and forth a post with each viable solution would make sense

So i've searched and not came up with anything. Im on a custom ROM and have recently noticed my phone will completely die when it says around 22-20%. I've changed ROMS and even went to JellyBean recently with no luck. I've reset battery stats, no go. Any suggestions beside taking the battery back to VZW? Im going to leave my phone turned off, and charge like that tonight to see if anything else changes.
It seems that its a battery issue. Nothing software related. Are you using a custom kernal?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Bump for the EXACT same issue. My battery has died for the past three days when the phone is between 20-22%. I'm on Synergy rom with no custom kernel. I've ordered some extra batteries so I'll have a better understanding in the next week or so if it's the phone or the battery. Any feedback/suggestions would be great.
Also note that the phone gives me zero warnings that it's about to die. No flashing lights, low battery indicator, nothing. I'm usually using the phone and it completely powers off without a seconds notice, as if the screen has dimmed. Trying to power it back on just produces a light vibration but no led or screen activity until it's connected to a charger.

Did the new batteries help? i just started having the same issue. Verizon was nice enough to send me a new battery which should arrive in a few days

Yes and no. I'm no longer having the issue anymore but I don't think it was the battery. I was a making a backup so I could install GW. Instead of booting to TWRP, I accidentally went to Download Mode. I couldn't figure out how to get out so I pulled the battery. I then booted to recovery, backed up, wiped cache, and flashed GW.
I didn't have the issue for a couple more days until I received the new batteries and haven't had to use the stock battery since getting the others. Still no issues (knock on wood).
I think one of the following fixed it:
Wiping cache
Booting to download mode
Pulling the battery

Bump...anyone have any luck? Same exact thing is happening to me...except my screen flickers a bit before dying.
Today I had my AT&T One X at around 40% charge when I went to sleep. After getting up the phone had shut itself down and when I try to turn it on using the power switch nothing happens. I charged it then it starts charging from 0%. I am on stock 4.04 rom and have rooted the phone. This is the third time in a month that this has happened. I am attaching the battery curve that I got after today's incident. Please Help! Thank you very much for any help in advance.

Sounds like bad wakelocks, install Better Battery Stats to find out what is draining your battery.

I have installed betterbatterystats and will update with results next time it happens..
I too am having this problem. Though it started happening after my phone drained and wouldn't restart after charging (boot loop). After I fixed that, it's been dropping dead.
I'm on a stock rom with ElementalX 3.0 kernel. Was v2.0 when it initially started.
Any luck finding information? I still get about the same use out of it (sometimes). I'm thinking that maybe the battery's level is getting reported incorrectly?
This is a known bug, whatever the hell is causing it. Just about everyone has had this happen at least once.

How often are you having this problem. I have had this happen about 3 times in the last three weeks or so. Since my post last week, I haven't had it happen to me yet. I now have the betterbatterystats app installed and will update with results the next time I have battery drain.

It happens quite often. Happened today, then three days before that. I really don't have much on this phone either. After the initial bootloop I did a factory reset and didn't really add much.
This happened to me once on stock rom and kernel. I think it has something to do with the network trying repeatedly to connect and draining the battery. But the phone is asleep and not updating the battery percentage. When the phone finally awakes, it instantly updates the batteryfrom whatever it was before to 0. It seems to happen to people in the early morning.
There is a pretty sizable thread on this already.

I have contacted AT&T and HTC. Neither knows whats up. Went to CM 10 though and haven't seen the issue. Although, the last 2 weeks with CR Dev I didn't see the issue either. It used to happen every night.

Thought I remembered seeing a thread but couldn't find it via search.
I wonder if it's a sense based issue if you haven't seen it with CM 10. Though I didn't have any issues while using the stock kernel. -edit just read flar2's post about using stock and seeing the issue
Most likely something is draining while the phone is asleep and the battery doesn't update. You can see in my history details that when the phone wakes it jumps. Especially the ending death jump lol
I know if I have fast boot enabled and then it off, it'll drain around 10%. It only loses around 3 or 4 if the phone is shut down. I've never left it on overnight, but then again I am an avid task-killer

Hey guys, so I'm having a really odd issue with my batteries.
When I'm charging any of them they go to 60-70% really fast and then slow down to a crawl. Then if I reboot at that point it says it's full! WTH?
I changed ROMs, bought a new battery, wiped Battery stats multiple times, it still happens! It even seems to do it on different chargers. (Though I'm not 100% sure about the chargers)
And my sister who's running a totally different setup on her Sensation (we share batteries) reported she was experiencing similar issues using our portable charger as well. I don't know what's going on.
Any ideas? It's really annoying.

there is nothing wrong
htc's issue in his devices when rooting then
i have also percentage misreadings
nothing to afraid
also wipe battery stats is just a myth

most users reported that thing after rooting their device
some said that it is htc's issue and it is still unfixable
it happened to me too
maybe it doesn't happen immediately
i don't know mate

Hmm. Okay, thanks. I guess it's not THAT big a deal if many are experiencing the same. Thanks!
Stock everything, no installed apps running 5.0.1
Happened twice. Phone dies. I plug in the charger and everything is fine. Any ideas to what's wrong?
Not really sure but I'll try to help:
Could it be an issue with the physical battery? (I.e worn out)
If not, could battery calibration possibly help? (Though I've heard the actual use of calibration was controversial in terms of the benefits received)
Just my 2 cents.

Tried 3 different batteries. All have the same problem
Could be due to one or more applications? Are you rooted? I'm not too familiar with this, but I've heard apps like greenify could help. If not, maybe try reflashing a stock rom?

That could be a sign of a physically damaged battery.
Wipe your phone, maybe it's a software bug?
