My phone isnt showing battery precentage right, after left it on charger over night system will 79-90%. But it shows 100% in the recovery and rebooting it back to the system i can see 100%
I'm also experiencing some weird bat readings, it could be both software and hardware built in battery sensor.. Mine problem is related to ROMs I use.. To reset it , Try to completely drain battery to 0% until the phone doesnt want to start anymore.. Then force it into bootloader and choose barcodes , when it turns off repeat.. Until you completely don't kill the bat and phone doesn't have no signs of life. Connect it to charger , preferably some lower power than turbo charger , usb 500-1000mA and don't touch it until its fully charged..

Hey guys, is anyone else here experiencing the battery level going up when you restart the phone?
If my battery is at 70%, and I restart it, it'll be at 76% or even higher and remain that way for quite a while (remains a consistantly drain, not a single major drain in a short period of time)
This is something that's been happening since I was stock (Retail device from T-mobile store on launch date)
Here's some info:
-S-OFF using Revolutionary, and then later upgraded to 4.0.0.9 via terminal emulator
-Rooted stock (no rom uploaded)
-1900 mha Anker battery
-Battery stats wiped
-UncleSpoon's battery icon mod
even after all that, it'll still do it. So is it just me, or is everyone else experiencing this?
Yes, you have to re-calibrate your battery stats.
No, the CWM menu option to wipe battery stats is not right, for some reason.
Go get this free app: Battery Calibration
Charge your battery all the way up and let it sit charging for a few minutes after you see the light turn green (while turned on and booted up)
After it's been green for a few minutes, open this app and click the big "calibrate" button, and then un-plug it from the charger.
Let it run down until it turns itself off, without plugging it in. This means no usb to the computer, either - and don't turn it off manually.
After it turns itself off from lack of juice, plug it in (wait about 30 seconds) and then turn it back on. If you turn it on too quickly weird things may happen, depends on how depleted the battery is. (usually there is 1 or 2 % left so it's ok)
Leave it plugged in and turned on until fully charged. After that, you can feel free to play with it, but you should run it up and down a few more times without charging in-between. The first one is critical to do this way, though, or you are just wasting your time.
You MUST be rooted, or it will not work. (said for others who may need this info)
Tip to drain battery - screen brightness all the way up, screen to not turn off, and turn the flashlight app on. Leave it sit for a few hours.
Tip to charge quickly while on: Turn all wireless and data communication off, tap power button to turn screen off (keeping phone on)
Good luck, it'll solve the problem though.
I used battery calibration to wipe my battery stats (I did it in recovery on my 3G Slide, so I'm aware of that alternative method)..
I've let my stock battery get to 0% but that was pre-root.
After reading all the charging problems with the CWM, I was a bit afraid to attempt the 0% drain on the new Anker.
Are you running 4.0.0.9, and does it charge fine? I'd hate to deplete an Anker since I have no external battery charger.

Removing the stats only doesn't calibrate the battery, check the calibration guide in my sig, for a correct method that works for any android device.

Seriously, that's a good read.
I agree.
What I recommended was better then just wiping battery stats with CWM, but nowhere near as good as what Ace42 linked us up to.
I'd recommend reading those threads and doing that instead, I am more then happy to be corrected and shown a better way.
(FYI - I depleted a stock battery completely, both in CWM 4.0.0.8 and 4.0.0.9 to test the charging issue. You will always be able to charge it in the phone, even if you bring it completely to dead.
The idea that you can't is a myth, and was a concern until it was proven not to be true.)
Ever since I have flashed 4ext recovery My battery jumps percentages. For example: If i charge my phone from ~30% overnight with the device switched on, as soon as I unplug my phone it's fine, but after about 15 minutes the battery plummets to about 90% without me even using it! Second thing, if I decide to reboot into recovery to flash a theme or mod or whatever the percentage when in recovery mode shows that it is higher than what is indicated when fully turned on?? And once again, if i reboot from there, when the device has turned on the battery has plummeted even further to 50%! Yes I've deleted batterystats.bin and calibrated the battery, and yet still this happens!
I experienced a very similar issue with my last phone (HTC Desire) and that was linked to it being "USB bricked" and was able to resolve my problem.
Thank you all in advance

Wel with my experience (do you have a percentage mod installed?) uot kitchen mods react weird with my device. The battery isn't necessarily draining. The mod isn't representing the actual percentage.
My work.around was as follows
Drain to 2 percent
Turn phone off and charge over night
(this way the battery decides when its full)
Deal with percentage reading being way off for a whole day. When it dies turn it back on and there will be the residual percentage that was skipped over. Let that drain down. Then try and turn it back on (repeat steps)
After phone dies completely then charge once again overnight with phone Off.
Wake up unplug phone, boot into recovery, plug phone back in, wipe dalvik/cache then bat stats. Reboot and unplug.
That's what I do. Sounds like a lot but you get a routine after a while. Ya a lot if people percentage mods do that to me.
Hope this helped
Good luck
I'm mobile right now
I have the same problem with one diference, when battery jump - phone turn off
This is my first time encountering this problem.
I was charging my Note yesterday when it reached 15% of the battery. However, even though it was connected to the charger and the charging icon appears, the battery life of my Note is decreasing until it drains the battery. I charged it overnight but unfortunately, It only charged up to 3%. I already sacrificed my files just to reset/reboot the Note but the battery won't still charge properly.
I've tried almost everything. Wiped the cache partition, rebooting the tablet, and uninstalling everything. But the battery stays at 0%. Is it the motherboard? Hope not.
I highly doubt that it's the connector/charger because the lightning icon appears when I connect it. I'm a newbie. I really want to identify the problem and solve it.
Define problem first to eliminate .
Replace battery or use another charger to rule out battery/charger problems .
Clean usb charging port .
100% charged battery that drops quickly >. factory reset first test again .
Hi
I've been replacing my 3 years old battery in my Moto G LTE and I have an issue that new battery cant charge. I guess deep discharge protection was activated.
If phone is off and I connect charger, screen with 0% battery shows up. And it run in cycle = phone switch on, 0% screen, phone switch off, ....
And if I first turn the phone on, ROM is loaded, charging flash appears in notification area, but battery is still 0% or it flashes to 1%, but drops again to 0%.
Could anyone help?
Battery connector pins (on FFC) layout would be of great help as well.

I just had my Xperia Z5's battery replaced due to it bloating up. After two weeks, I noticed that the battery indicator isn't working properly.
It would go down from 100% really fast (even during standby - not using the phone) but stay around 30% down for a really long time. No difference in usage. Then it also started restarting on its own even during standby. I would check my phone and it would need me to input my pin saying its required after a restart. Another instance, I was still typing out a text message and it restarted on its own. The battery was around 60% before it restarted but after it turns on again the battery indicator showed that its at 40 something %. I don't think the battery would drain that much just from restarting.
Also, just today, it won't charge properly anymore. It will detect the charger, like it would make the sound when you plug it in but the battery icon won't change to the charging icon and the battery will continue to drain. When turned off, it would show the Sony logo then battery level on the screen but will stay at 0% or whatever % it was left at and will continue draining.
So my phone just died earlier and I just went to plug it in hoping it would still work. The battery was stuck at 0% for the longest time so I just went and left it for a few hours. Coming back to it, I noticed that the LED indicator is green. I pressed the power button and it showed 100%, then I tried turning on the phone. It still turned on, showing 100% on the battery icon and could be used like usual.
I can still use the phone, barely, but this issue is really annoying. I'm not even sure if the next time it drains it would charge again.
So far, I've tried:
using a different cable and charger
doing a factory reset
doing a repair via Xperia Companion
But the issue still persists...
Is there anything else I can do on my end to fix this?
You should replace your battery
Hello.
I'm sorry to hear that your Xperia Z5 got this problem.
Here're some personal experiences:
1.Just replace a battery for it.My Xperia Z5 had same issue last month:Its battery lasts for only 2 or 3 hours,and charges much faster than before.Then I think maybe the battery life loss too much,so I bought a battery from taobao(A Chinese Website),then everything's fine just as when I buy it.
2.According to your description,maybe the sub board(It's responsible for charging and data transmission)is broken too.You can find a used one at ebay.
That's all.I hope this message can help you.And...I'm a Chinese so maybe you can't understand my Chinglish(It means "Chinese English" )...Sorry for that.
