My Wife's unrooted S2 runing the stock ICS is having issues with battery charge.
She has had it for about 1 month.
The past week she can no longer charge it past 70% (this value is continually dropping). It will go to 100% if the phone is charging while off for 12+hours but then as soon as it turns on the battery drops to 75%.
I have read of pulling the battery for a while, Plug in the phone pop in the battery and power on immediately but this has done nothing.
I have not rooted and tried other roms on her phone yet since we may have to return it.
Any suggestions?
BTW... Sorry for one more battery thread. Just didn't find the solution with my searching.
Bring it in. Maybe a new battery

Replace it under warranty, will be easier than anything else.

That was my thought just wanted to check if there were any other magic tricks out there.
Thanks
So just as an update I tried a few things that did not work. Wiped battery stats. Charged the phone with different chargers. Tried cm10. Got a new battery. Reflashed gingerbread.
The maximum charge varied from 50% to 80%
I wiped the phone and will return it.
I am giving this update since I received a pm from the someone with the same problem

My phone is reporting that the battery is in good health but won't charge past 13% could this be a bad battery or phone? Charged perfectly fine last night. On the stock JB rom

More info? ROM, rooted, condition of battery before problem?

Stock JB ROM as stated in OP, no root. Battery is just under a week old. I think it's the phone because I pulled the battery for a bit, put it back in and it was giving me a different number then started charging but very slowly.

maybe root and clear battery stats? Or just flash a stock rom and wipe data to see if the problem persists, if it does, then its probably a hardware issue.
I have this problem sometimes - the battery percentage reported by the phone while its booted into Android will be incorrect (fixed to correct % after rebooting). Sometimes my battery % will be stuck on a certain value for about 30 minutes either while discharging or charging.I find that pulling the battery and doing a clean install of a ROM with a full data wipe on a rooted device fixes the issues sometimes. Funny, there is no definitive fix for this problem that I've found. I guess some devices/batteries/ROMs are more susceptible?
Is it true that it is bad to kill your battery all the way to 0% I did this about 3 times since I got the phone.

no, thats not true, as a matter of fact - batterys can suffer if you store them a long time with to less energy, but if you're not leave your phone 4 weeks turned off, this shouldn't be a problem
I rarely ever use WiFi but when I do after I get back I to a good signal area and turn WiFi off my phone has a big draw on the battery.
For example... I go to my friend's house where signal is poor and I turn on WiFi where there. Get home that night and turn WiFi off and charge the phone over night. Next day by lunch I'm around 60% battery left with about 15 min screen on time where I'd usually be around 90%. Reboot phone and battery draw will stop.
I'm on stock Rom and kernal, 4.4.2, black 32 gig model, t mobile service, of any of this matters.

There have been a couple posts about this issue. It's a bug in Android or the firmware, don't know which one. Cycling airplane mode should also fix it.
I searched but didn't find anything. I'll try cycling airplane mode next time but I'd still like to find a permanent fix.

There isn't a permanent fix.
No ROM or kernal that I could flash? Maybe a different phone all together?

Does every Nexus 5 have it?

+1 for never hearing of this bug and +1 for never having this issue.
Flash back to stock and monitor with bbs. Factory reset if you can too

It happens on full stock also. BBS doesn't show anything. Literally 5-8% per hour drain, and BBS shows nothing. Nor does the system battery stats. I'm thinking that maybe it's an issue like the screens on this device, where everyone's looks a little different. Maybe there's a slight variation in some of the hardware, like the modem, that is causing this issue for some and not for others. The N7 2013's have the whole touch screen fiasco to support this theory.
It could be in the stock kernel code. If that's true, it's been carried over to FK.
It could be in the modem. But it still happens on both of them.

For some it does but also for some it does not. May as well limit the variables whilst troubleshooting. Doesn't happen to me on full stock or any other ROM and kernel combination so I doubt the issue exists specifically in full stock without any other combination of attributing factors.

I'm not saying I don't believe you. I'm just saying if it doesn't affect everyone, there is more to it than a straight up bug. It must be a combination of things (possibly including a bug) and the best troubleshooting is to limit the variables.
Just to be clear mine is stock unlocked. I was going to flash cm11 and see if that stops the problem but it seems as if it won't. Since it seems some have it and some don't getting the phone exchanged might be my best option?

Aero it sounds like we have the same problem. Mine does it Evey time I turn on Wi-Fi and then turn it back off. I think I'll call Google and get a replacement.... Maybe they'll let me change to a red one to.

That's interesting. I have Tasker toggle my wifi when I'm at work. Maybe I'll try disabling that task and let wifi stay on all the time. I normally notice the issue while I'm at work (with wifi now toggled off because of Tasker). I'll pull the phone out to check my texts, and I'll be at 75%...

just so i'm clear.... i notice the drain after i turn off wifi, the drain could start as soon as i turn it on but i'm not sure. i really notice the hit the next day at work. i'm usually at 90% around noon (i take my phone off the charger around 7:30) and if i used wifi the day before i will notice i'll be at 50-60% by lunch. for example i went the entire day today, used my phone like crazy at lunch time and just got off a 10 min video call with my kid and my battery is at 37%. if i had used wifi before this charge the phone wouldn't have made it to this point without needing a recharge.

This seems similar to what I've seen. I'm fairly certain it happens with wifi both on and off, but as I said, I do have it toggle every day. I reboot my phone a lot because of Xposed module updates, but I disabled the wifi toggle task that I have Tasker run every morning and afternoon, I will try to see if it still happens.
why...;;
It hasn't affected my watch. I still get about 3 days to a charge.

Mine also. I used to get 2 days with always on and now it lasts less than one day. Started this morning at 100% around 7 am and its 6pm with about 10% battery. Any ideas? No additional apps were added. Also updated Samsung pay about the same time.
I am down from almost 3 days to 1.5. And that is with using it less as the newness of it wore off.
I am back to normal now two days and at 40%. No idea why it's gotten better I'm not changing how use the watch really. Very strange.

How long did it take to get back to normal?
I also have the same problem since last update. I usually had 3 days with a charge, now it lasts just two days, sometimes less.
Don't know if it comes from the watch itself or the phone, I have a Note 4. I would say from the watch, because when using the watch in autonomous mode without phone, I still have four days battery life.
