Hi guys I have a pixel 3 and it's stuck at 92% charge on the battery icon no matter whether I unplug it I have a plugin
Now the device seems to charge properly it just doesn't update the charging icon or show the correct status in the icon I tried to re calibrate the battery using accu battery I've also tried factory resetting my device with numerous different wrong and also stock and non stock tried different dates of stock roms so that I could go back to an older as it could have been an update so I was just making sure that it wasn't causing this issue
Any advise would be greatly appreciated as it's really quite annoying to have a phone that works well but the charging icon doesn't do the correct charge so I don't know whether I'm half battery or full battery
I had the stuck battery level indicator issue on my Pixel 3. Symptoms I had noted were the stuck battery level at 34%, random shutoffs, wildly fluctuating low amperage charging values. Tried many of the fixes on the internet without much luck. Finally tried a variation of one that has worked so far. The fix for me was running the battery out and powering on till no screen activity method. The twist I added to this method is that I then got a clamp and clamped the power button into the on position and left it clamped for 24 hours. I then removed the clamp, plugged the charger in and then turned it on. To my delight, the battery level had dropped to 0% and the charging current was 1.5 amps. I am writing this just after the fix and charge level is now 60%, so hopefully it will continue working as it should. I think the fix is that the battery must be thoroughly and fully discharged, but that is just me speculating. Anyway, thanks for all the info you share and hopefully this will help someone with the same problem.

Hi everyone
My problem is.. my DS started to charge slowly.
Now it doesn't really charge slowly, If I check the voltage, I will get like 4220mv but as soon as it reaches that, the charging graph just goes flat.
If say I have charged it to 70% and it started going slow. i switch it off, place on the charger, and the lamp goes green. I turn it on, and it is showing 100%.
I have tried calibrations, diffirent kernels, wiping, factory resets e.t.c.
Another thing is that if I will run a v6 battery calibrator,it will show that actually I should have a 100% charge although a phone is showing only 70%.
So the summary: Phone charges normally when off (when recovery monitors charging), showing the correct voltage when on... But showing the wrong percentage if on charge.
Also sometimes if the battery is like 14% left. And I turn the phone off and then on again, it will show 22% bearing the same voltage as when it was 14%.
Question: Is there any way to tweak the battery indicator so it would show % values same as the v6 calibrator does it or is it a hardware fault, if yes, which part of it ?
This happens to me on my older (original) battery, but not my new one. I bought the second battery when this problem started happening. So, I think it's just a symptom of an old battery.
By the way, if you leave it on charge long enough, it will eventually jump up to 100%.
Other than this weird behaviour, it has no real impact on anything.

Thought so, mines been acting similarly lately, but strangely enough it seems to be getting better
I think I found out..
I actually purchased a new battery recently, because my old one was jumping like crazy and started discharging in a few hours..
This new battery I bought from a mobile repair shop.
It is a cheap chinese battery with no name, anyhow I just took it out to take a look at it...
And guess what, it sais 1200mah..
Can the phone be confused because of that ?
I mistakenly posted this in the wrong forum at first, so here it goes again:
I bought this Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (GT-5110) about a year ago, it runs the original firmware with the recent Samsung update to 4.2.2.
Lately the battery life has become very short. This was not a gradual change, but something that seemingly happened over night. I charge the device with a travel adapter that claims to output up to 1 A. The battery monitor shows that charging works as expected and the device charges to 100 % .
In use the battery shows 100 % for a while, but after about 20 to 30 mins jumps to 4 % , giving me the low batter warning. I am travelling and the only change I can think of is, that mains power here in Canada is 110 V instead of the 220 V back home in Europe, not that I expect that to be a problem.
I don't notice the device getting warmer than usual, so I don't believe, that the battery really charges to 100 %. Is there anything on the software side I can do to investigate this further?
Thanks for any advice!
EDIT: I just noticed, it's actually not the battery, that is dying. It is a error in the measurement. The battery life is normal, however the charge measurement shows nonsensical behavior: It goes to below 10 % in less than half an hour and then goes back to full, repeating this in cycles, like a sawtooth wave. So I suspect either a hardware fault in the measurement circuit or a software problem.
Here's a screenshot of what the battery info looks like, mind you the device has not been on the charger the entire time:

i think the problem is with the charger
drain the battery of your tab completely and then charge it fully upto 100 % with stock original charger and see if you notice any difference

What makes you say that? I've been using that charger instead of the Samsung charger at home for a long while now.
For me it may be the hardware issue, because software doesn't consume battery in the background so rapidly.
#If you are not sure try this options
For Hardware issues:
*Make sure your charger is working properly (Completely drain your battery and then connect your charger and charge for few half n hour and then reboot your phone and check your battery status and use your tab normally for few minutes and keep an eye on the battery consumptions)
If your battery is gradually decreasing no fault to your charger.
If your charger doesn't charge then its the time to either change or repair your charger.
For Software issues:
"GO TO BATTERY SECTION IN SETTINGS AND CHECK WHICH APPLICATION REDUCES YOUR BATTERY OVERNIGHT RUNNING ITS SERVICES IN THE BACKGROUNG AND JUST DELETE IT"
*After using your tab normally go to SETTINGS>APLLICATION MANAGER> and then RUNNING SERVICES.
If you find unnecessary services running in background NY an app which is not required just uninstall those app.
*Try to check your Sync, WiFi, GPS etc. settings to ensure that any app is consuming continuous services and draining your battery.
*Remove recently installed app which are not necessary.
Hope they help.
Thanks so far, I just updated my original post to describe the problem more precisely.

I had this exact problem, down to the sawtooth battery status profile, tablet model and android version, and fixed it with the following procedure:
After a normal boot, press and hold the power button continuously.
The tablet will shutdown and reboot repeatedly.
Hold the button down for at least 4 complete shutdown/restart cycles, never releasing the button.
After that treatment the battery status shows a nice, normal discharge curve, starting from whatever random place the sawtooth pattern left you at. Run the tablet until it powers down by itself, and then recharge it.
The ugly sawtooth battery status first appeared on the tablet after running an intensely power-hungry application (the battery got hot after 20 or so minutes of running). After that, the discharge rate seemed to have a flipped sign, where if normal discharge rate per minute was positive, the altered, aberrant discharge rate was negative. CoPilot was the offending software; however, that may be a post hoc ergo propter hoc logic error on my part.
The messed-up discharge rate would prematurely terminate charging if the table was on, so the only way to get a full charge was to turn the tablet off and attach the charger.
Hi, guys!
After updating my phone to 5.1.1 I now have a weird scenario when charging my phone.
I would let my phone die, and then when I charge it I would switch it on when it gets to round about 10%. Upon start up my battery display in the notification panel will say around 50-60%?! I'm really confused. Is there a way I can reset this? I have tried cycling the battery but that hasn't solved it.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Paul.
afaik its not good to leave the battery go below 5%
i always try to keep my battery between 40% and 90%
after an os update it takes a couple of weeks for the new os to adjust itself to the battery and the more you use it the better it will predict the remaining battery level
I have issue with battery charging too. When i plug it charging is fine ,but when i get phone on my hand to use Then stop charging like 10-20 mA from 1100 mA. Any suggestions?
Hello,
I have bought an replacement OnePlus battery (the red ones) it looked identical to original one, the only difference was that it had an extra sticker hologram like. The battery was replaced at a service center (after I have ordered it my self, it also comes with 1year warranty).
The issue started the first time I changed the battery. It came charged at first to 55%, I used it until like 35% and then I left it to charge. Charging stopped at 90%. Accubattey measures a capacity of 3050 mah. However the voltage was at 4.280V and at this point it will not accept any more current (charging current drops to 0mA).
When normally charging it with the original charger it draws the usual 2 ~ 2.1 amps. Then I drained it to 0. Now it charges to 95~97%.
My questions are. Is the voltage correct for stopping the charging ? Should it not go 4.35V?
Do you think that repeted discharge to 0 cycles my fix this issue?
Should I consider using my warranty, for the battery and request a new one? Also on this topic. On the supplyer site it states that 5 cycles should be performed to calibrate the battery.
Did anyone else experienced this?
Thanks
calibrate your battery and see if you could find any change,if not, which rom/kernel are you on?
Well I am running 25 Dec CM 13 by sultan XDA, I did not flash a new ROM after the battery replacement.
What steps would you suggest for calibrating my battery ?
I was thinking of dischargeing it to 0 then trying to start it until I get no response from the device. I mean not even show the boot screen. Then leaving it like this for two hours. And then retry to start it, just to make sure the battery is all the way discharged. Then plug it in and leave it to charge over night and see what happens. And if it's still not 100 repeat until it happens.
Thanks for the reply.
I've tried 2 different roms android 7 and 9, they have the same issue. While using them tablet seems to use too much power and it's heating element heats up pretty fast. I can limit this by switching geolocation to battery saving mode, but when I turn brightness all the way through, even though it doesn't heat up as much it's just turns off and the only way to turn it on is to disassemble it, plug the battery cord out and then put it back in(also measuring voltage on multimeter between ground of the battery and charging port pin whilst it's charging does the same thing for some reason) also it looses charge when turned off. I have no idea why, I've disconnected every single cable and it still drained battery at the same rate, though I noticed that voltage between battery + and - and battery ground and charging pin even when it's disconnected is lower with charging pin, don't know if it should be this way so I'll just leave it here. Battery drain started happening only after I changed my defective original cable(showed that it's charging the tablet but battery percentage dropped as if it wasn't even connected) to a new one but still using original brick. Any ideas as to what could be happening and what I can check would be much appreciated.
Load the stock rom to troubleshoot.
Possible battery or mobo failure.
