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.

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 your saying that even with a fresh install (no apps installed) you're having the same problem? The android system seems to be consuming a lot of battery, normally its around 2 to 3%. Do you have an SD card? have you tried scanning it for viruses? Or may be you could try installing an antivirus just to be sure and put your device and sd through a full scan.

thanks for reply. havn't thought about virus. now i'm trying full scan. hope this work.
After all these following tests, the problem still persists and now I think it is related to mechanical issue..
I will try to contact HTC reps.. Thanks for your advice anyway.

android system on my htc chacha is using something like 48%, I charge my phone three times a day, was ur problem related to a virus or something? I try not to buy a antivirus since it costs too much and also I believe it drains much more battery than android system..

I doubt whether a hardware problem could be the cause, android system should not consume so much battery in any case. Did you wipe all data, cache and dalvik cache when you installed the custom roms?
I didn't install a custom rom, the only thing that I did was S-off and rooting the phone, could it have caused this issue?

You said in your first post that you have flashed cm7 and cm9 and I am guessing you must have done it using clockwork recovery. I am a little confused now. Did you factory reset the device?

I did factory reset more than ten times.
Actually, this battery issue has started to happen since I flashed cm9. At first, I thought this came from mismatched RIL & baseband.
(Note : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549488)
Sadly GetRIL doesn't support chacha, so I just flashed back to the one I used before - with full wipe - but it couldn't resolve the issue.
The last thing I could think of was flashing back to stock rom and I followed this guide.
(Note : http://androidforums.com/chacha-all...lash-back-stock-rom-chacha-please-sticky.html)
I agree that it is strange Android System process eats too much of battery, but I couldn't find any errors from it when I checked the process log.
Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your actually battery? try getting a replacement and see if that helps.
To me android system consumes the same amount and I have like 5 hours full use(e.g. browsing + 3G) , I believe there might be a problem with ur own battery, try replacing it and see whether it works for u or not

I have two brand new batteries and both of them have the same issue.
Today one of HTC tech reps told me they checked my cell and found a problem with mainboard. They will replace it.
I will close this thread. Thank all of you guys for supporting.
So my Moto X dies at ~20% charge, which is bad, but not entirely surprising for an 18 month old phone (despite the fact that I rarely use it, which is disappointing and continues to reiterate my point that Motorola QA, before or after Lenovo, sucks). The strange thing is that if I plug it in then, the charging screen on the screen off shows 1%, then 2%. If i turn it on then, the boot is normal, then on lock screen, it shows 25-29%. Any fixes?
try calibrate battery, it happend to me a lot of times and after calibrate doesnt happend, only when i change rom
Update, phone is now being very wonky. See graph for details:
I have the same issue
Same problem here. Xt1097, started 3 months ago. Already wiped battery, delete files, completed charged and discharged. Nothing works. I was running stock when first happened, I changed to custom and the problem persists.
Mine does the same, except at around 14%. XT1095
Same here (xt1097), around 10%. Already tried to calibrate without any success.
Any thoughs on this ?
Same issue here at about 15%. Pretty annoying. Is there any way to adjust the kernel to adjust shutoff voltage or adjust battery so is shows 15% as 0%?
Reporting on the same problem, I'm running CM13

Guardalo su eBay http://www.ebay.it/itm/172111017544
Look for original bulk xt1092 batteries
The battery is dying. There's no software capable of fixing this. Replace it.
I solved the problem with a clean instal of stock rom and take the OTAs. I used the phone without root for some days and I completely discharge it, when it shut down I recharged the phone keeping it powered off , when it was charged I turned on the phone and then rebooted it, then I unplugged the phone (I did a battery calibration). After some days I rooted again (latest supersu in systemless mode) and flashed xposed (systemless version 86.2), but I didn't restore all my xposed and rooted crap. Battery life is still quite poor, but the phone didn't shut down at random percentage... I don't know if the issue was caused by some app or root method, maybe restoring stock rom helped, before doing all this stuff I tried just to calibrate battery but didn't solve the problem.
I know it's not really a solution, but I found that activating the system battery saver around 20% helps getting down to 10% without the thing turning off. I haven't tested below that yet.

That's sad to hear.
Battery dying fix
1. Shut down Moto
2. Hold volume down and power button
3. Clear dalvik cache
4. Let it charge to 100%
So this is my issue, the battery percentage seems to fluctuate badly, there will be one instance where it will charge till 75% and then stop charging and it will say like 1 minute till full charge then never go beyond 75%.
Another instance is the battery will go down really quickly to 1% then it will operate on 1% for like upto 2 hours and then shut down finally.
Things I've done so far.
Changed rom clean flash, wiped caches, flashed stock in odin.
The only thing now is my bootloader is from an older firmware than the rom firmware currently installed which is cas rom.
Any insight or help would be great full. Thank you

I would simply first try another cable and also wall adaper. If this doesnt change anything, make a backup and go FULL stock. Not just flashing some oartitions, but your last stock ROM completely. If this doesn't make a change, then it probably is your battery, that is faulty. Try to have Samsung exchange it then. I just hope that we won't have similar problems, as the Note and S7 ppl.

I have checked this website but there is no method for my problem, besides this website only seems to tell me how to keep the battery healthy, besides my battery is not damaged,its the indictor this problem started happening after I installed the pie rom, before installing this rom I tried the oreo rom and my battery were the same before i switched to custom rom,is this the bug of the rom ?

If your SOT run time is normal, the battery is most likely ok.
There are edits you can do if rooted but that's beyond my knowledge as to where/how to access them.
Otherwise try a battery calibration by charging to 100%, run until low battery shutdown, repeat.

Use the battery voltage to estimate the charge state of the battery.
If all that's wrong is a misreading you could just adapt to it.
You can try a hard reset (simulates pulling battery) and clearing the system cache but I doubt that will help. Worth a try.

It simulates pulling the battery and doesn't touch any data.
It's usually done but holding the volume control and power buttons down until it reboots on my N10+ if I recall correctly. It's hard to find this with a Google search but the instructions are out there, somewhere.
Of course if you have physical access to the battery you can simply disconnect/reconnect it.

On rooted phones there's a file edit you can do to fix that. I've seen it on XDA before. It doesn't apply to me so it was a curiosity.
Sorry I can recall the thread or file name.
Try this.
Try this Google search: fix battery percentage,xda rooted
Or something similar.
