My Samsung GS2 Skyrocket is about a year old and when I updated to Android 4.1.2 a few months ago, my battery meter went wonky. At first, it would show a max charge of about 75%, even if the battery was at 100%. Swapped it out with an identical battery from my husband's identical phone and the "new" battery still only showed 75% and when my husband put the "old" battery into his phone, his phone showed an accurate reading on the battery. Over time, my phone has dropped the maximum charge percentage down to 3% and the phone behaves as if this is the correct reading. I just swapped batteries out again, and my 3% battery magically became a 100% battery and the battery I swap with went from 87% to 3%. We've done 2 factory resets, tried turning the phone completely off when charging, truned off only wi-fi while it was charging and nothing has worked. As soon as you disconnect it from the charger it shuts down. I have tried 2 other battery widgets and they ALWAYS agreed with the Samsung meter. Any ideas? I'm using my daughter's old SG2 that has other issues of its own and we've run out of things to try.
Thanks for any assistance!

I don't really believe in battery calibration, but its still worth a try. Look it up on XDA. Will post a link as soon as I get to a PC.
You could also try flashing ICS 4.0.3 and see if the issue persists. If yes, it must be a hardware problem.

If I remember correctly battery calibration is not mandatory on the SGS2 because once the battery is depleted and charged full to 100% - the "meter" is reset. Do not unplug the phone as it reaches 100%, let it rest for some time before unplugging.
Connect your phone to computer.
Delete all the unwanted files and folder from both memory card and internal memory.
Go to recovery by pressing volumeup+Centre button+ power and clear cache, and if you are able to go to advance then clear battery stats.
Restart the phone with charger on and let the full charge to happen and report back.

I'm going to let my husband do that - he's the elecronics wizard, not me! I'll let you know how it goes!
When to disconnect?
When do I disconnect the phone from my computer? Do I leave it connected the whole time?

Disconnect after deleting the files from the internal memory. Enter recovery with it unplugged and then connect to charger as it's booting out of recovery.

Tried all of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Looks like I'm in the market for a new phone....
Take the phone apart and check connections to the USB board. I'm betting hardware failure of your USB board it's a relatively cheap part you could replace in a few minutes after obtaining one.

Have you tried recalibration yet? People say it doesn't work but always has worked for me.
1. Kill your battery to zero.
2. Leaving the phone off, charge it to 100%
3. Turn it on with it still at 100% and download the battery calibration app (assuming you're rooted) and press the calibration button. 4.Restart it and pull the charger as soon as the screen shuts off.
5. Use the phone until it dies and shuts itself off.
6. While dead, plug in charger and turn it on. Wait til it hits 100% or keep it plugged in for at least two and a half hours.
7. Unplug it and should be working just fine! If not, it's a hardware issue.
I've had problems with the battery meter with some ROMs, so it could help by doing a full wipe and installing another ROM or the same one.
I hope this helps, cheers!

There have been about eleventeen thousand questions across multiple threads on how to calibrate the battery properly...figured it probably should be a sticky in here if possible.
You have to know how to get into Recovery mode. You can do this with Quickboot when the phone is on, or the powered off phone method:
1. Power off phone or pull battery and replace.
2. Hold all three of these buttons down: Vol-Down, Camera button (lower left as you look at the phone) and Power on button).
3. You will see a small graphical menu come up. Most of us are using Clockwork, so I will focus on that - it will be a green menu.
For the battery wipe, Go to Advanced, navigate the menu with the vol up/down keys, and select using the camera button.
There are three ways so far:
The Drain Way:
1. Drain it down until fully dead.
2. Charge normally to full.
3. Reboot to Clockwork recovery and wipe battery stats (under advanced, on second page), reboot phone.
4. Turn everything on, flashlight, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Pandora, the whole nine, to quickly drain it completely dead.
5. Charge normally to full.
The Powered Off Charge way:
1. Charge your phone 100% while it’s on
2. Unplug it from the charger, power off, then charge it up to 100% with it in a powered off state.
3. Unplug charger from phone. Power it on, and then charge it to 100% while the phone is on.
4. Unplug the charger and then reboot into Clockwork, go to advanced and clear the battery stats.
5. Power on, charge to full, and then enjoy.
Third option (thanks squshy 7), I paraphrased it and wrote it out a bit for ease.
Maybe we can call it the Mr. Miagi Charge way....aka Power On, Power Off, Charge On, Charge Off way lol
(the parentheses are the state of the phone)
1. Start with the phone powered on.
2. (Phone on) Charge battery until the LED turns blue
3. (Phone on) Unplug the phone from the charger, wait until the LED turns off
4. Power off the phone.
5. (Phone off) Plug the adapter into the phone, charge it up until the LED turns blue
6. (Phone off) Unplug, wait until the LED turns off
7. Power the phone on.
8. Wait until the phone is booted back up all the way, and then power it off again
9. (Phone off) Plug the adapter into the phone, charge it up until the LED turns blue.
10. Boot the phone into recovery mode
11. Go to Advanced, and then choose Wipe Battery Stats.
12. Power the phone on and use normally.
Still a noob, but what would exactly need you to have to Calibrate Battery? Also what exactly does it do for the user?
P.S I'm sure I could look this up but it would be nice to see it in your thread for others to see

Well it's really a matter of semantics...you're not calibrating the battery, per say...it's actually calibrating how android is reading the battery. (these phones use Li-ion batteries, which don't use memory, so they themselves never actually need "calibrated" like some older types of rechargeables)
But...as far as what this means to you, its kind of a big deal! It improves battery life in letting android know when your battery is actually at 100%. When flashing new kernels and ROMs, its very likely that the phone will read your battery at full, when in reality its probably less. So it would seem like your phone isn't getting as good battery life (when in actuality it just hasn't been charged fully but you don't know that because android reads it as full because it hasn't been calibrated )
also, without a calibration, you might notice your battery gauge draining oddly...for example, you might see it quickly drop from 100 to 89, then drop steadily to 72, and then hang for a while at 71 (these are all just made up numbers)
so it means alot! but everybody has different methods and i've never seen anything officially released by spring or samsung to confirm methods...
I will say this though...I've read plenty about how since these Li-ion batteries don't have memory, the DRAINING method, while maybe correctly calibrating your battery, actually HURT the long-term life of your battery.
so heres what ive always done:
(the parentheses are the state of the phone)
(phone on) charge battery till LED blue
(phone on) unplug, wait till LED off
[POWER OFF]
(phone off) plug in, wait till LED blue
(phone off) Unplug, wait till LED off
[POWER ON]
When completely booted, power off again
(phone off) plug in wait till LED blue,
boot into recovery, wipe battery stats
unplug, reboot phone and use
it's always worked so try it out
Actually I'm pretty sure it doesn't fully charge to prevent over charge.. and the whole deal with you guys chargings 2-3 times after the light turns blue is just killing the life of your battery.

If it can stop at 92 percent to prevent overcharging, then it can do the same thing when it reaches 100 percent, no matter how many times you plug it in.
I don't know of many, if any li ion battery packs made today that don't have circuitry in them that prevents overcharging.
I put it in development because when you load roms, generally battery is a big concern. I cant tell you how many times ive searched for the same topic all over, I just figured it would be as helpful to others as it would have been to me had it been here and been a stickie at the top.
I've always thought battery calibration was more of a placebo effect, but I have no data either way. On a related note, here's an interesting article about battery stats and charging that was posted a week or so ago:
Android Police: Your Battery Gauge is Lying to You...
Having a battery keep at a full 100% for a long time is not good for li-on batteries. The 10% between 90 and 100% is basically used as a safety buffer. That's why the charge drops between 100 and 90 is much faster than the drops from 80 to 0. even though there ways to increase the actual capacity of the battery by using the methods above, you will still see a quicker drop from full to 90 almost instantly after unplugging the charger. I am in no way saying that those methods don't work in helping the phone read the actual charge of the battery, but they do help increase capacity a little bit. by rearranging the electrons in the battery. There actually is an article on google and on xda that backs it up. I'll try finding it

Lol.. wow alright.
Yes COMPLETELY draining a battery is really bad for a battery; infact if you do so you may end up with a 'bricked' battery.
But the phone also knows not to 'over drain' so with the method of clearing batt stats there's no harm done..actually. allowing your phone to die before charging is healthier than plugging it in before it dies.
I won't argue on the other note anymore; well simply because I don't know enough to continue just know I won't be taking that path
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Thanks for the response. But also if you have a separate charger because you have multiple batteries, do you need to have to go through any of this? Or will the charger charge them to their true full state?
It will charge them to 100%. You'll notice it holds 100% for a lot longer.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using Tapatalk
The only thing that needs to be done to calibrate the battery is either flash at full charge or charge to full then delete batterystats, all this drain to dead and charge this way and that is pointless, though u will all argue otherwise, pointlessy

Yes thank you very much! I'm gonna give this a shot probably tonight after the Christmas Eve service and see what happens.
You should definitely add that NONE of this matters if your first usages out of the battery aren't proper. When you get the phone, you need to kill the battery before charging.. charge for 10-12 hours w/the phone off or in a dock, kill battery.. repeat 2 more times to condition the battery physically.
I know you need to be rooted to calibrate a battery, but I am wondering of there is another way. Or possibly the Sensation software is jacked.
I have ahd my phone on its charger for hours. It shows full, but a battery monitor app states its only 97%. After reading, this seems to be a common issue.
I have already charged full, and pulled battery, reset phone and still the same.
I am no battery expert. Any suggestions?

Using the SEARCH function can only help you, battery expert or not. There have been many threads covering this.
1. Charge your phone til it hits 100% then turn it off while plugged in.
2. Remove charger until LED is inactive
3. Replace charger & the light should be orange/amber, charge til green again.
Repeat 2 & 3 until there is no amber light showing
Rinse, repeat a few times. If it goes from green to green right away just leave it for a half hour or so OFF and charging. Hope that helps, if not search just like I did

I had nandroid restored of wanhu's rom from khalpowers.
it was working fine,suddenly this problem occured.
then i restored to rusmod,khalpowers but no change.
note that USB port is working i could connect memory card storage to pc well.
I took off the battery when it was at 40% last night.
and when i put it back in the morning it was dead.
connecting to charger shows big battery icon with "?".later on only the 4 leds up.
will have to check for new battery then only i can use rsdlite flash.
This has happened to me back in Feb. My theory is the phone gets confused about how charged the battery is and enforces some mechanism to protect the battery incorrectly. The way I got out of it is to start it charging and watch carefully to keep it from booting. Every time it starts to autoboot, yank the battery and put it back. Repeat this for a few hours. Then do the battery calibration proceedure. I eventually got a wall charger and an extra battery because I got sick of this game and flashing ROMs seems to make it happen often (I do a lot of flashing ).

Yes i connected it to wall charger,leds lit up.half an hour later phone booted.
the market battery app showed 5% battery but phone notified connect charger and went off.
what if it charged to full and phone behaves the same.then how battery calibration will be done.cannot delete the battery bin file then.
can we delete files using openrecovery?

when we get new rom published every week/fortnight we are supposed to do that.
but my flash count is negligible compared to you
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.

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.

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've been having this problem for the past 4 days, my Nexus S won't charge beyond 38%. I was due for a battery replacement, I got that today, and even that wouldn't charge beyond 38%, after reaching 38%, it says charged. Please help
A friend of mine had the same issue with his galaxy Nexus.
I am not sure if he did what i him worked. He never said anything to me.
1. Use your phone until it dries out and shut down on its own.
2. Start it up to make sure that it immediately shut downs from the lag of juice.
3. Plug in the phone, when it is off and let it charge to 100% ( do not start the phone until then )
4. Repeat the same proccess once more.
This might help set the battery stats that you have for your old battery that are saved on your droid.
If you are rooted it might help to cleat the battery statistics as well.
I'll try it tonight and post back

2. Start it up to make sure that it immediately shut downs from the lag of juice.
3. Plug in the phone, when it is off and let it charge to 100% ( do not start the phone until then )
4. Repeat the same proccess once more.
This might help set the battery stats that you have for your old battery that are saved on your droid.
If you are rooted it might help to cleat the battery statistics as well.

Couldn't get the phone to charge in off state, kept switching back on, and reached the same percentage and stopped charging. Also used battery calibrator app to clean the battery stats. :/
