I'm making this post because I have seen many people complain about their batteries not reaching 100%. This solution works if your problem started after you flashed/booted TWRP. If you have this problem and you have never booted into TWRP, I'm not sure this will work for you.
I noticed that everytime I booted into TWRP - especially if I made a system backup, my battery would not charge to 100%. Initially I solved this problem by disconnecting my battery then reconnecting this, but this will void your warranty and I realise that most people would not want to go this route.
Perhaps it's a bug in the version TWRP that is available for the Nokia 3, or maybe it's not really compatible with it, but whatever the case, in my experience, the battery is always reading 50% regardless of what percentage the battery was on before, and charging never affects the state.
Anyway if you find yourself in this situation, this is what you should do:
1. Let your battery run down till it reached 0% and shutdown.
2. Boot into recovery (holding the power down and volume up buttons while the the phone is plugged into your laptop till the countdown reaches 0)
3. Once your phone enters recovery, unplug your phone and leave it for a while (15 mins or longer). When I tried it, I initially wanted to wait till my phone ran down but I was too impatient to wait that long. Some people have recommended formatting your cache partition, you can try that too; it cannot hurt.
4. Restart your phone and start charging.
Hopefully it will reach 100%. If it doesn't repeat the same process and wait a longer period of time in recovery, say 30 mins or until the phone powers off.
If you don't have twrp or a custom recovery you can still try the above process although I can't guarantee that it will work for you

Ok, but have you thought of trying what I suggested? Booting to stock recovery after the battery has run down? Like I said before, I believe the phone is reading the battery status wrongly and when it sees the battery at 0% it shuts down even though the battery level isn't actually 0
Battery calibration will solve the problem.

You wake up in the morning, anxious to flash the cool new ROM you discovered last night only to find your raph has 10% battery left... how typical!
You know you need to wait about 2 hours to get at least 50% charge before you can flash away... NOT ANY MORE.
I couldn't find it anywhere in here but I found out you can start flashing over cable even with 10% battery, all you need is to enter bootloader (voldown+softreset) before you start the flashing utility
Or just flash from SD card.
It's also a lot faster, and maybe more safe too.
I wouldn't flash your phone if your battery is under 10% due to the 2 possibly 3 resets it will do during the flash, just to be on the safe side anyways.
Only opinion, do whatever you want with your phone =p

There are good reasons that it requires you to have a charged battery before flashing, as a general rule it's really not a great idea to flash at 10%. You can do it, but at least now you can't say nobody told you
Well considering I prefer flashing over cable (bootloader doesn't like my 8GB SDHC for some reason) the phone is powered and charging from USB during whole flashing process. If the power fails, so does flashing. Where's the problem?
Was really pissing me off to wait 30 minutes to charge from 35% to 50 and I never heard that flashing from bootloader doesn't check the battery level, even when I googled for a way to override it. This might actually help someone like me
Used this today when I had 30% battery. Works fine, and I don't see that if you have about 15% battery or more, that it's much risk seeing as you've got HardSPL and the phone can get power from USB anyway.

The phone doesn't charge while you're flashing, just so you know. More accurately, it doesn't charge in bootloader, so technically if you had some issues which got you stuck in bootloader you could run your battery down. That is the reason it is RECOMMENDED, not required that you have at least half your battery.
When I wake up in the morning my phone is at 100% because I take a couple seconds and plug it in on my night stand before I got to sleep been using WinMo phones too long now.. this is a habit to top it off daily
Hey guys, i've seen some other threads about batteries being stuck at 100% but they were generally with rooted devices so i figured i'd make one here.
The Problem
My infinity will charge fine, usually 1% per minute and when discharging going from 100% to 35% in about 5 hours screen on time, mainly using web apps, no real gaming, maybe dead trigger for 20 mins per charge. However when i take my tab off the charger it will stay at 100% for over 45 mins, and most recently over 1h 20m, causing the battery reading to be way off. Today it randomly shut down claiming i had 20% left.
Does anyone have any ideas? Like i said device is non-rooted and i dont have much interest in rooting it. Problem started just before we got the Jelly Bean update, and i got the tab in mid august, so it was working fine for a couple months.
The next logical step would be to factory reset and contact asus if that doesn't solve anything. I was hoping to avoid that if you guys had any tips or tricks.
Thanks
My TF700T has just started doing this. So your not the only one. I've only just started to search around for a solution.

I suggest you make a backup then do a a factory reset (twice). After that check to make sure this issue is gone, before re install any apps. If this doesn't resolved the issue, you need to reflash the full Asus firmware. This eliminated your software issue, and the last 1% chance is your hardware.(but very rare).

I've done as you suggested. Including factory reseting the tablet twice.
I've had the tablet off the charger for 14 hours and 28 minutes. And it's still showing 100%...
Worth noting: It was fully charged with the dock this morning. I've taken the tablet off the dock and used it for the day and it's still 100%
Anyone else got any other suggestions?
Same problem here, started two days ago, the transformer shuts down at ˜33-35%. Installed battery monitor app and it reports ˜500mAh still availble just prior to the shutting down. After it shuts down it's dead until I plugg it the power chord, it charges to 100% but then the same story again, shutting down at 33-35% remaining battery left. I've tried the battery calibration app which deletes the batterystats.bin file but that didn't do anything. Also tried three factory resets without any success... I'm on stock ROM but rooted.
Any ideas to what to try now? Or should I wait for the next firmware upgrade and see if the reflashing of the firmware will resolve this?
How do I reflash the installed firmware version, want to try that next...

Everything in power saver settings is left default, 15%. But the transformer never reaches that level..
Oh, and I also have the same behaivor as the orginator of this thread, the battery shows 100% for good while after a full charge until it stops dropping, forgot to mention that. My tablet is four month old and this just started... Unfortunaltey is feels like a HW issue with the battery reporting the wrong remaining charge to the OS... But I will wait for a new firmware to see if a reflash resets the battery configuration somehow.

My TF700 shut down at 25% battery today. I think it's time to contact ASUS to see what they can do.

Try to poweroff your device and let it stay down for 1/2 hrs, then power it back on see if that resolved your issue.
You need to recalibrate the battery.

I tried this to no avail. Worth noting the device was off for about 5 hours when the battery went flat. I've also tried turning it off and charging it.
I have a TF700 on a TF300 dock, and I have found that if I unplug the tablet from the dock, while the dock is plugged into the wall, it stays at that battery level until I plug it back into the keyboard. Deleting batterystats.bin, turning it off, waiting long enough for it to get to 8.4V, and then doing a cold boot seems to fix it.
I already got this problem and been able to fix it with battery calibration (root) apps. But since about 1 week I cant fix it and I dont know if someone have the same issue.
When I charge the phone to 100% and unplug the power, it doesnt discharge until 3h after unplug. And between 45% and 30% the phone shut off. When I try to power ON, it say battery too low keep charging before power ON (something like that). When the battery is charge enough, its already at 30% and reach 100% very fast (maybe 15-20mins)
I did try to do battery calibration, reboot the phone and use it normally... but no success.. I already did this 5 times
I cant let it discharge to 0% because it automatically shutoff at 30-40%.
I use the "stock rooted YNG1TAS2I3 ROM. Includes root(enable in Developer options) and the rest is untouched, so it's OTA update safe" from Calkulin (thanx to him he does great work)
I didnt want to factory reset because like I said before, its not the 1st time I got this problem but its the 1st time I am not able to fix it !
And please, do not answer to buy the OnePlus 2
Thank you in advance, sorry for my english
Backup ur data first then flash coloros then let it discharge completely then charge it to 100% without powering it then Power it on and check with ur battery. If it repeats then it's sure you have to replace the battery

Flash another rom...
Or, change battery
I have been using Nexus 5 for a year and half now. After upgrading to android 6.0.1 recently, I have been facing serious battery issues, such as:
1. Sudden shut down of the device, from various % of battery remaining. After trying to switch back on, the battery shows empty, or even 5-10% charge remaining.
2. If I charge it fully and then switch to safe mode, the phone works fine, the discharge rate is pretty stable and long-lasting. If I then try to switch back to normal mode from safe mode with a simple restart, the battery percentage again shows drastic change in between the two modes.
3. Sometimes when I keep it in safe mode, the battery percentage shows an increase, even if it's not charging.
* Yesterday I did a factory reset, yet these problems continue. I am confused about this being a battery problem, android bug or something else entirely.
I am a newbie in this forum, so please pardon me if I am missing some things here. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Yesterday evening I charged my N5 to 100%, used it 5-10 minutes while in bed and turned it off; this morning I turned it on, used it for other 5 mins (the charge was 86%) and it shut down on its own: when I tried to switch it back on it appeared to be completely discharged.
This happened several times in the last weeks, alongside a way faster discharge of the battery.
Is there a way to check if this is related to some software or it a physical problem of the battery? And, in case, is it possible to change it?
Flash back to stock LP to see if the problem goes away. If the problem continues, it could be time for a new battery.
I've not been playing with roms and stuff for a while and I don't remember that, if I flash stock LP (I'm on stock Marshmallow now, if that matters) will I have everything on my phone wiped?

...anybody?
You could try flashing everything except the userdata.img file. After flashing the other partitions, erase cache before booting the LP ROM for the first time.
I always recommend taking a back up of your data before flashing anything to the phone as there is always the possibility that something goes wrong.

I tried to install an app to calibrate the battery but I'd need to root my phone to make it work (as now it's not rooted), and if I remember correctly the root process would wipe my phone (and as right now I don't have much time for that I'd rather try first everything I can without wiping).

Alright, though I'm afraid it might come down to that..
But lemme know anyway if you managed to fix your battery issue without having to calibrate the battery. I had a similar problem but it hasn't gone away yet even after calibrations. Maybe a new battery is in order.
Hi, my phone was unable to charge full, it stuck at 60% and then stopped from being charge. I buy this phone 2 weeks ago and this problem arise 3 days ago, and the problem still exist. I have tried many charger and the problem still unknown. Is it updating the software system could affecting the battery? Hope someone give me guide on this matters. Thank you.

Stuck on the same problem, but on 80%. After almost 2 weeks i noticed issue. Nothing helped. Before this i updated firmware by OTA. Dunno what to do. Sent smartphone by warranty. Waiting for answer
Try this;
Hold down power and vol-up buttons until you enter Recovery.
Format cache partition.
Reboot.

No... It will be ok after the phone has run out of battery and charging it again will restore the state of battery. But it will not get full if you use it rapidly while charging, then you have to use the phone again until the batteries level reach 1-3 % so that it restore the battery state.

Hi. Use your phone until the battery drained to 0% and switched off automatically. now let it breath for few minutes and after few minutes, charge it while it is in switched off, leave it for 3 hours let it charge until full, and don't switch it on in the middle, see if it is successfully charging completely within three and half hours. Hope this helps. Jai Hind!
Try disconnecting charger, turn off phone, then connect charger again and let it get to 100% before turning phone on again.

If you don't mind voiding your warranty you can open your phone, disconnect the battery and reconnect it. That's what I did when I had the same problem, but I would advise you to look up instructions on opening the Nokia 3 if you're going to do that. Otherwise you might have to go to Nokia support

It still reads 70% but gradually comes up to 74% finally but 100% yet. Any other options I can try please?
I just discovered something. It's whenever my phone enters recovery that the battery reading gets messed up so this is what I'm going to do: next time my battery falls down to say 3% I will boot to recovery and let the phone run down from there. Maybe when I start charging again the problem will be resolved
Update:
It worked. I let my phone run down till it shut down on its own then I booted into recovery. Interestingly twrp kept showing the battery as 50% even though I'm sure the battery percentage was much lowere. I'm guessing the twrp is not reading the battery well or even at all. Anyway I waited for a while before powering off the phone then charging. My phone finally reached 100%
When should we release the buttons in recovery mode ?
It worked
Guys, I followed the thread and it worked for me. I have been experiencing the same issue.
To fix it did the following:
Let the phone run out of energy
Wait some 10 minutes
Connect the phone to power and run the wipe caché instructions
Let the phone charge completely till 100%
I experienced the problem of not reaching 100% on energy (just 80%) for 2 days. Then I found the post. Fixed it.
Thank you!
