I had been on the Pixel 3 OEM Android 11 build for a few weeks when the battery percentage stuck at 5%. Totally full? Reads 5%. Just about to shut down from lack of battery? Still reads 5%.
Any suggestions as to how to fix it? Or what it could be? I have restarted several times.

The obvious next step would be backup, and factory reset! Apparently, many more pixel owners have reported a similar issue in the google support forum and Reddit. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=pixel+battery+stuck
Doing nothing FTW (for the win). After a dozen reboots from powering off not knowing the real battery charge it now measures properly.
same here and I have the Dirty Unicorn rom, I just got this issue randomly without doing something on my phone, it smells like a dirty´s google work here

I've got my razr recently but faced with quite a strange problem. I use the oem firmware. After it is charged I use the phone as usual(however it discharges rather quickly) but then the showing battery percent just stuck(it can be any percent 73,61,8 whatever) and it doesn't change for a ling time (5-8) even if I use browser or play games. And after that period it discharges again. Any solutions to this problem?

How many full discharge/recharge cycles has your phone undergone since you got it? If it is rather new, there is nothing to worry about, it takes a couple of cycles until the system battery stats are adjusted to your battery.

It isn't new, it is used
I have a XT910 that started doing something similar a few days ago.
I left it charging overnight, and it didn't go past 30%... Seems like the battery was charged, because it lasted for a day or so, but even after restarting it and charging it turned off, it won't go past 30% ...
I wonder if it's a bug or a physical problem?
The phone is using stock ICS, rooted.

it is quite a different problem. your phone doesn't charge but mine does charge but doesn't discharge
Hi,
I'm running CM11 and within the last couple of days I've noticed my status LED is stuck in the green charging state. I should post a pic of my battery usage graph - it looks pretty stupid. The battery level is going up while it says it's on battery and it thinks it's been charging for the last 8 hours or so while it's been unplugged. Has anyone else seen this? I have one of those huge MPJ brick batteries that comes with a bigger battery cover. Hardware problem? Software problem? Or maybe I just wipe my battery stats and it's fine. I'm kind of hoping I actually unlocked God Mode for my phone and the battery won't ever run out.

I have seen this on older cm builds. Its definitely a rom thing. Usually a full reboot fixes this...till next time. And if I remember correctly it won't happen everytime. I hope this helps you.
Huh, haven't seen that issue in a while. In my experience, simply plugging it in and removing the plug a couple of times will reset the LED. A full reboot would fix it as well.

I rebooted last night and that seemed to do the trick.... for now. I think it eventually started happening again the last time I fixed it by rebooting. We'll see.
My Moto Maxx is never going below 15% battery for quite some time.
I was running CM 12.1 before and I am running the CM 13.0 preview now.
The problem now seems much worse.
This could be my battery dying?
Wait its not going below 15% or above 15%? Also, did you flash the ROM with a clean wipe (no dirty flash)?
Another thing to note is that the CM 13.0 Build is a "PREVIEW" which means that there are a TON of bugs in there. I would advise you go back to CM 12.1 for the time being.
It is never going below 15%.
On CM12.1 it also happened.
When it reaches 15% percent, the phone shuts down and needs to be charged.
After sometime charging, it displays the battery as above 15% and I can turn it on again.
Mine had always done that at 5 percent. Here lately it's closer to 7 percent.
I'm on original 5.0.2 and also facing that issue... I've heard onde it's related to the use of non original chargers, or even QI chargers... Never got rid of it, even after a full wipe/factory reset...
I've had this problem too and made a post over in the Droid Turbo forums but no one ever replied..
At least I'm not the only one that has this problem.
Yeah I've always had this issue between 5-8% on my three Turbos. Stock Rom and other flavors. They all shut the phone down around there.
Solved the problem with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newagetools.batdoc&hl=pt_BR
Now my battery goes down to 1% again, yahoo!!!!
how can that app fix it?? i would think its a placebo effect as i see dificult for an app to read or fix battery info...
maybe it locks out the bad parts (like an old chkdsk on a HD)
anyway i will tryit if i see it tries to go rogue with the Ads it Dies..
Batteries in laptops and phones have a file that keeps track of battery life. They use this to estimate percentage.
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA-Developers mobile app
still having this issue
I have the same problem. It started as shutting down at %5, then %7, now it's %15 shuts down.
The same thing on my XT1254. It shuts down near 5%, I will try to charge it with my old i9505 charger, it could be a problem related to TurboCharger.
Hello guys,
My girlfriend's phone had this issue some months ago, what I did in order to fix this issue was:
1) Let the battery drain until phone shutdown. (try to turn on again until you cannot)
2) Fully charge with an original Motorola charger (phone turned off)
3) When it reached 100%, turn on the phone but enter in the fastboot mode and wipe caches
4) Uses the phone normally and let reaches 0%.
Making these steps, the battery back to have a "normal" behaviour

I´ll perform these steps, thank you
Although you see the battery as percentage, the operating system does not see it that way. It uses lower limit voltage of the battery to shut down the device in order to extend battery life. Batteries do not like to get and stay deep discharged (below low level voltage)...if you do this frequently, you will severely hamper your battery's life.
Hello, not sure if this is the right page to request this type of help but here's the deal: the last few days I've been having a sudden crazy battery drain... I cleared the cache, then performed a factory reset and the battery was still draining - around 1.5% per minute with the screen on. Around 1% every 3-4 minutes with the screen off. I read an article about Safe Mode.. and before I got into Safe Mode I had 23% battery... when I got into Safe Mode.. it showed me 62%. I got back into "normal" mode and it still showed 62... now it's currently at 60%. Thought this is weird.. any idea what's going on?
Either bad calibration or a dying battery. Do a full cycle (run it till it's dead then charge it to full before booting). If you still experience problems you should probably get the battery replaced.

Any idea what might have caused the bad calibration?
It seems to be ok for now.. It hasn't discharged yet.. will let it turn off on 0 battery and then charge it full. Thanks.
Calibration can go out if you regularly charge it when it's not empty yet. Modern batteries dont have as many problems with memory, but it's still possible.
Hello guys,i bought poco f2 pro global a week ago.My problem is the follow:
When i put my phone for charging the process go to 89% and freeze there.if i disconnect and connect again the charger then its make it 100%!?u can wait 5 h but no more than 89%.
Its very anoyning ,coz when i got to bed i put the phone on charge and at the morning i get it on 89%.
Factory reset didn't solve it.Any ideas?thx
Try draining the battery to 0%, then let it charge uninterrupted and see if that helps..
Hi if you've seen some of my posts. I got a Poco F2 Pro and on the second day it started showing 1% battery charge all the time. As well as an overheating issue and would close the camera after 5 seconds. Not sure what I did other than turned it off and let it charge a few times. For no known reason it started working fine. That was a week ago, so haven't had the problem occur since.
I'd check while the phone is off what the battery level shows as. If it still shows 89% it might be more serious, otherwise could be a bug

ITs not uncommon a miss-calibrated battery. Make a full discharge, wait all the time until your phone is power off. Once completely drained, try (without charger) power on some times, to be completely sure is totally death. Now, make a complete Full cicle. This time, the phone should reach 100%
Thank you all for the suggestions. I discharged the battery to 0 %,then plug it again and the result was 92%.So no luck..I really hope that this is software bug and will be fixed with miui 12 .Will be very unlucky if my unit is defective.the phone is a week old .what do you think,if i download the present software and flash it , maybe that's will help?

This so called "calibration of the battery" is total BS.
At every boot with at least the latest 4 Android versions it will "calibrate" itself and nothing one can do about it to "trigger calibration" or that kind of stuff.
When the battery won't charge beyond 89% something else is causing it, faulty battery or software related.
Did you unlock your device or is it still locked?
When locked try to manually download the whole rom new from the update menu and reflash it.
Then check if it charges correct of not.

Some devices that I have seen with the same behavior would not think the same as you, obviously with a healthy battery. A bad battery can behave abnormally too, but I doubt that is the case.
And yes, it can be called a ... "calibration", although nothing to do with the supposed magic cures of deleting the battery statistics file. What happens is not that % battery is lost or that the battery is not fully charged. In fact, if the battery is fully charged, it is the count that fails. This is perfectly evident, when the phone reaches 1% it stays in that% much longer than usual, because the phone really did not have 78% (for example) and is not full drained yet. Once the battery is completely drained, the margins are recalculated correctly again. It is not a bad battery that is not fully charged, it is fully charged, what happens is that the battery reports incorrect data due to a "calibration" mismatch.
In any case, the partner will be able to tell us perfectly if it worked, or not . I repeat, there are many phones that I have seen with this behavior and many that have returned to their being. It is clear that if the battery is bad it will continue to be bad. It has happened to me in the past with a pair of Xiaomi phones, the last one a Redmi 6, is not uncommon

Hi
Sorry , i don't have anything intelligent to say about battery calibration (except that if the battery sound faulty, take advantage of the phone warranty while you can!)
So... I just saw @Snah001 had a F2 pro and a Mi 9T pro... Could you please give us your quick opinion and advice here ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f2-pro/help/poco-f2-pro-t4137287
Thanks so much
Cheers !
