Anyone else notice that when you're on the phone and the battery reaches around 10% the phone switches off? Today it also happened at around 17%. Then when i switch it back on it switches off again

yes, it does so always. I check juice plotter battery graph and when it reaches 15% fall down to 0 and turns off. If I turn on, battery shows 15% again, sometimes turns off immediately, sometimes keep until the battery discharges completely!
It's a great dilemma, I think I will reflash soon
Its weird though, it only seems to happen whilst on the phone not on standby or wen using for texting or browsing

The phone was freshly charged overnight. I was using the internet while listening to music through (3rd party) headset and since the 3G signal in the building was kinda ****ty I switched the phone to EDGE (GSM only). Then I quit the Settings menu and opened Firefox, tried to load a web page and at this point the phone froze. I'm not sure if I restarted it or it restarted on itself but after the boot the battery was showing about 40% less. So I turned the phone off, pulled the battery, rebooted, same reading.
I used the phone for a while after that and now it's showing critically low battery and I'm wondering what should I do now?
Is it really so low on battery or the reading is wrong?
Can 40% battery disappear just like that and what could cause it?
Should I charge the battery or let it discharge until it turns off by itself?
Battery screenshot attached.
Perhaps a battery calibration issue caused due to the crash, my advice would be to drain the battery all the way down to zero and let the phone turn off, remove and reinsert battery and proceed to charge till full and then turn the phone on again. Hopefully issue should be a one-off and now resolved.

happend to me before on my htc desire hd..battery pulled and battery stats dropped down the gutter..just let the battery die and charge fully or even just charge it up to 100% from where u at now..doesnt matter it will fix itself...
My phone was doing the same thing, it was rebooting or shutting down two or three times a day, usually a few minutes after taking off of charge.
I have sent it back for a replacement.
Do not drain the battery to zero. There is not reason to go belox 10% charge, as you could damage the battery if going to 0. These are new batteries much smarter then old ones.
You don't need to drain to zero but it won't do any harm if you do. Probably a wee softwre glitch. Wouldn't get too worried about it.
a good option is battery doctor - its a free aplication from the market...
let your battery go down to 20% and then open the app in charging mode...let it charge(dont close the app during the charging process, just keep it open)...woallla.. u have made a full cycle charge - easy as that...
I have been setting my phone on airplane mode every night. It's always coming off of a full charge, so it's at 99 or displaying 'fully charged '.
Upon going to work in the morning, the phone has gone down to 87%. To me, that's a lot of drain for the phone not doing anything. In comparison, my NS4g gets the same treatment, and I may lose 1% overnight.
Is there something wrong with my phone, or is this normal?

Check what is using battery while you sleep. Only time I've had bad drain while doing nothing was when WiFi was left on scanning

Thanks...
Top thing on the list is phone idle 58% then display at 28%, and maps at 11%.
Not sure why maps would even be listed... probably my problem right there.

Airplane mode will drive some apps crazy when unable to connect to the internet and cause wake lock issues

The E3D goes into sleep mode at night where all the network connections are turned off if the screen is locked. There should be no need for you to put into airplane mode.
Hey guys,
I've just started having a problem with my MyTouch 4G in which it won't charge while the phone is switched on. The battery charging symbol displays but the battery % slowly decreases. I have tried using a different battery but no luck. If I go into "battery usage" in settings it says that Wifi & Cellular Idle are the 2 biggest users with 29% each. The strange thing is that these 2 are always using 29% even if I turn Wifi off and put the phone on flight mode. Another user had a similar problem and it turned out to be an app using buttloads of power but I can't identify any on mine doing this. I've done a virus scan. Any ideas?
Thanks
Do you charge by the computer or the power socket
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Both. I've just done a factory reset & installed ICS to see if that made a change. I've got it plugged into the PC at work now and its finally gone up 1% in about 15 minutes. Seems a little slow and I have a feeling it would discharge pretty quickly if I started using it while plugged in. I'll wait and see what happens.
Maybe you should stop checking every 5 seconds and just wait

Where you able to fix it???
I have a Note II from At&T WITHT HE SAME ISSUE!!! :/
help!!!
Has anyone run across this? Lately when using Battery Calibration app, as soon as I unplug from charger I drop from 100 to 96...( happens frequently now) is this just a sign my battery is getting weak?

Nope - that's actually the correct behavior for a well-calibrated and healthy battery. When you charge your phone disconnects the current when the battery is full, and for the next half hour or so it reads 100% but the battery is slowly discharging. This protocol preserves battery longevity. After a while it will top the battery off again. Long story short, 96% charge shortly after unplugging is perfectly normal.

thats funny, my device stays at 100 percent after I unplug it from the charger, then discharges normally. It never drops to 96%, sounds more like a kernel issue to me.

When still running Froyo my Fascinate always displayed 96%-100% upon disconnection after full charge, even if left overnight. After update to GB, the longer it remains on charger after reaching 100%, the lower it drops after disconnecting. Sometimes it's dropped from 100% to 76% as soon as charger is unplugged, if left on charger for too long.
I was informed on another forum that there's trouble with the trickle charge function on GB and it's likely not to be corrected.
Just thought I'd pass that on, for what it's worth.
the battery does that on purpose so it doesn't overcharge and decrease battery life.
in other news, google android people have said more than once that battery calibration does nothing, wiping battery stats will not help anything at all.

I normally Charge it while Battery Calibration is running, then when it hits 100%, I power off the phone and let it finish charging with the power off then onces its "Truly" fully charged I turn the phone back on get into Battery Calibration then press the calibrate button
What's the general consensus on this i.e. Google engineer basically debunking the necessity or benefits of calibrating one's battery?
http://tweakmydevice.com/2012/01/no-need-to-calibrate-android-battery/
For some time it happens sometimes that what I'm reading or something else that I hear a beep and the battery suddenly turns red and then automatically turned off.
He is not on, I hang it on the charger will start it after some time, but the battery is not empty. Just gave this 55% when I hung it on the charger.
Any ideas what this is?
Run the phone until it shutdown of its own accord, then fully charge, till it says charged without unplugging at all.
This should straighten things out.

Are you using any app/widget for showing anything related to battery?
Similar thing happens to me but only below 10% when I used some apps/widgets, so strange that it happens to you at ~55%.
I use the battery ap of beautiful widgets.
I read the phone battery as those in state until it is full. Can I use the charger therefore out when it is full and has not launched yet?
do a battery calibration
