First check your battery whether it is swollen or not..
If not try to calibrate your battery.. Remeber calibrate doesnt increase battery life it will rectify your battery stats.. I think your battery stat is showing wrong info..
Let the battery drain off completely charge until 100 dont take out while it is charging.. Calibrate and restart you phone..

I think you are right that my battery stats are not proper... because I just restarted my phone and my. battery gone to 73% from 23%....!!
and my battery is not swollen...
But can u tell me the calibration steps?

Flashed device, battery resetted 100%

Hey i flashed my device with the battery at around 80%.
after the flash it was 100%...
so this means i just lost 20% of my capacity? how do i fix this?

I don't believe you have lost capacity. It's only your gauge that's slightly altered. If you recharge your device fully(and about an extra 30min) you should have the regular capacity
How could going from 80% to 100% equate to a lost ???
it's posible that you'd gained the extra charges while the flashing process was going on ( because it was plugged in ?? ) ... if it wasn't ... no idea why

If i understand the post correctly they are equating am 80% to 100% a loss for 2 reasons:
1. because he would have lost charge while flashing due to the massive battery drain.
2. because now he is stating that his 100% is really only 80%
but i would probably just leave it charge overnight and you should be fine, the gauge just sounds to be off, it shouldnt be a true loss (unless the battery is bad)
Is there any other way to sync the battery with the device? I been trying a full discharge then charge.
I am using a mugen extended 3000mah battery and at 15% 10% and 1% it will stay there for some time before it starts to go down or turn off completely if it is reaches less than 1%.
I don't think you've lost capacity.
I believe you just did a quick check before flashing (and it was already charging before you started right?), and the battery gauge wasn't updated. I had this a couple of times while recharging. I take a quick look and think "this is gonna take another half hour". Five minutes latter I check and the charge led is green again.
Sometimes the battery metter lags a bit, you have to check it again to be sure when charging.
At least it happens to me.

a few cycles of full charge and discharge should put the battery meter in check...

Alrighty. I have done three so far. It has gotten better then the first time I got it. But its not perfect.
is it safe to discharge it to 0% so that it will shutdown? or what?

That option is not really helpful..! Either Calibration is totally messed up....or battery is dead!
Battery may have been swollen or dead
Same happened to me too, you have to buy a new battery now....my battery had swollen 2x its size , It charged from 0-100 in 5minutes and then discharged in 2minutes.....It had swollen and died.
I think the same happened with you , either it has swollen or it died.
Battery Swells when due to over charging and high temprature!
Hope I helped you...
mine too died buy a new one

[HowTo] Calibrate your Li-ion Battery Perfectly

Many of My Friends are facing Problem With Battery as Rom shows wrong information about remaining Battery %... As a result your phone goes off and when you start your Phone again it starts to show different % battery that mean that your battery is not Calibrate.. I am making this guide so that every one on this world may enjoy their phone for long time...
Warning Do at your own RISK...! Dont do it again and again
Steps you need to Do ​-1 First thing you need to do is let your battery goes to 0%.. then again start your phone(Don't plug in charger) and repeat 1st step until your phone denies to turn on back..
-2 Then Charge your phone in Switched off mode to 100%
-3 Unplug your charger
-4 On phone
-5 Your phone is going to show % of battery lesser than 100%
-6 Charge your phone again in on mode to 100%
-7 Unplug your charger
-8 Restart your phone and repeat Steps from 4 to 8 again and again until on every restart u battery % shows about 97%to100%
-9Next step is to calibrate your battery Download free app from plat Store that is Battery Calibration
-10 Calibrate your Battery with the help of that app and make sure that your Battery % is 100
-11 After Calibration Use ur Battery Upto 0%
-12 Then Charge it again and Your battery will be Calibrated...

DON'T ever do this! Discharging a Li-ion battery completely WILL decrease your battery life.
Next, the battery calibration app is nothing more but a hoax. It only deletes a file containing the battery stats which is ONLY used in the battery statistics screen in settings.
So please, DON'T!
It's true you get the same result from the battery calibrate app by wiping battery stats in recovery. Draining your battery does decrease battery life of li-ion batteries, same goes for your laptop. The theory to cycle your battery is a myth and actually wrecks your battery.

The 0% reported by the operating system is actually a bit higher than the voltage at which li-ion batteries will become damaged. Any modern phone should not allow you to discharge the battery to the point where it could cause damage.
Also there was an employee from Google IIRC that said wiping battery stats was useless because its only a file that keeps track of what apps used the battery and it wiped automatically when charged to 100%.

Well when there is fall in battery from 100% to zero in 10 min then u have to calibrate
I am not saying to calibtate it daily... as i said you have to go to zero once to complete one cycle..

I admit, when that happens, the battery circuit is probably in a dumb state and it _may_ be useful then. But doing this regularly is incredibly dangerous for the battery. Yes, some phones bias the battery reading but the post suggests to actually force it empty while turning it back on and on and on and that really kills it.
Still, using the app is just pure nonsense.

How about the 1st point of the first post? "Drain it to 0 then turn it on and on again until it doesnt turn on anymore"?
You could brick an hp touchpad by doing this.

Because 0% shown by the phone is.not actually 0% to gain that actual 0% we have to do that
Sent from my Karbonn A5 using xda app-developers app
You do realize why they make the reported 0% above the actual 0%. If you drain a lithium ion battery to actual 0% you'll permanently damage it. Also calibration is only useful if you want the OS to read the battery percentage more correctly. Lithium ion batteries themselves work perfectly fine with partial charge cycles.

That doesn't make any sense - you're stating in that post that turning on the phone damages the battery.
I will state this again: if you force your phone on and on again until it doesn't react, you may and on the long run probably will damage your battery. If your battery is not removable, this can also easily brick your device as seen with HP Touchpads.
If you feel that you must do something, simply drain the battery _once_ then charge it. This is the only thing that a sane electric engineer will ever advise.
Well that worked on my phone... i said that do at your own risk.... actually i am saying the same thing that drain your battery.. but if battery is not calibrate sometimes phone goes off even on 36% and if u charge at that point to hundread then that method will not work...

This is why you shouldn't/ need not calibrate your batteries.. It'll do you more harm than good.
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/battery_calibration
are we in need to wipe battery status for once in the recovery
What about for me, me tab has been saying 1% the past 3 hours and I've been using it and trying to kill it so hard but whatever I do it won't die. I want to "truly" get it to 1% or even 0% so I can then charge it back up to 100% in hopes of calibrating the battery to show what my actual % is. Any help will be appreciated greatly.

Problem with my phone battery ...

HI GUYS
I have a problem with my S Duos 2 battery
It's never can be charged up to 80 % and when I use the phone it turned off in 30% and if I try to turn it on he said that the battery is 3% , I tried to change the battery and it the same so can someone tell me if the problem in the software or the hardware
....
fix
i think you should try battery calibration this will help you to change you rom's battery stats and it will re calibrate you battery
hope this will work
1-charge you phone to 100%
2-open batter calibration
3-click on battery calibration(you will see calibration successfull)
4-uplug your charger
.
.
.
done

I have an after market battery with the same issue. I have been conditioning the battery by charging to full an draining completely while running those calibration apps. Seems to be getting better.

Is this battery States seem okay?

I am having drastic battery drains from few days. First mobile was used to give 5-6 hrs on full charge now it only gives around 3hrs. Please check the battery status below and give solution of you have any.

Discharge your battery completely. Use your phone till it has 0% battery left. Then charge it all the way up to 100% and start using it. Observe the battery life now. Use it till there's only 1-5% battery left and then check the battery stats. Or post the screenshot here.

Yes. That's exactly what I meant. It'll sort of calibrate the battery. Do it once or twice. If the battery drain still exists, then it's probably some app or some settings you changed recently that are causing the excessive battery drain.

This is today's stats, seems fine now hehe
Disable Wi-Fi scanning in location. Then do a network reset. It will solve your WiFi battery drain problem.
