Well i woke up this monring, phone had been on all night charging, said 100%. Went into recovery and wiped battery stats, powered off, pulled the battery, re-installed battery, left it powered off to fully charge, well that was 4 hrs ago and this phone is still charging. Did i mess something up wiping the stats, never had an issue on my g1 or n1.
Thanks for the help.
yeah something is up with the battery i think or the counter for it or something... my phone always says its at 100% and as soon as I unplug it it drops down to 97 percent instantly. then I have to plug it back in for a little till it charges to about 98 percent then it'll jump to being full and yeah unplug and back down to 97 or 98
Yea i know what you mean...my friends does the same thing. But mine finally did reach 100% after 6 hrs of charging. Made it to 4217mv.
From what i have noticed, that is normal. My phone does it too, but after i pay more attention to it, I think it's the build in protection from over charging the battery. if I unplug the phone right after it's fully charged, it'll say 100%. If keep it plugged in, it'll still say 100% until I unplug it. Sometimes it'll say 99% or 98% depending on how long i left it plugged after it's fully charged. Once it gets down to ~97%, it'll start charging the phone back up to 100%. So, from my own observation of two vibrant phones, if you keep your phone plugged in over night, it'll stop charging once it hits 100% and starts charging when it goes down to ~97%.
im having a "similar" issue, I wiped battery a little bit ago and my battery icon stil says 100%, however I turned on GPS and have Avatar playing, and it is STILL at 100%, not sure if its just a really good battery or if something is wrong...
How do I get into the Advanced section to get the wipe battery option? I go to Rom Manager and select to reboot into recovery but I don't have the option to wipe the battery stats in recovery.
Here is something I noticed. Charge to 100% with the phone on. Then powerdown. The phone will continue to charge for another 20-30 mins and then say 100%. I really doubt that powering down the phone after a 100% charge will drain that much juice.
Slight oddity with my Vibrant.
Occasionally when I charge the phone, it will show that it is completely charged--battery gauge will show full, About Phone will show 100% charge, all of that good stuff. When I unplug the phone, my battery gauge will instantly drop to 97%.
Additionally, for the entire duration of this particular charge, my battery life will be total crap. And by total crap I mean draining 1% in five minutes with the screen off, going from 97% to 78% in two hours with the only use being a quick check of bus schedules.
However, if I notice this 100-to-97 instant drop and plug the phone back in until it charges to 100% again, it will not display any of this odd behavior and battery life is awesome as usual, with standby power consumption at 1-2% an hour.
So... what gives?

Dont worry about when you unplug it, its just a inaccurate reading.
It happened to me this morning with Axura, and my battery showed 97%, but the 3% was given back without me knowing, does your phone stay at the 97 for a longer time? it should, and also some people say do a battery calibration.
its like
charge till' 100
drain it to 0
charge till 100
and then on clockwork recovery go to advanced and do wipe battery stats or something
^ im not sure someone correct me if i'm wrong about the calibration.
I conditioned this battery after flashing the ROM last month. You have the directions mixed up... should charge to full, boot in clockworkmod, delete battery stats, reboot, drain to 0, charge back to full.
And no, it doesn't stay on 97 for longer than it should; as I stated in the OP, if it does the 100-97 drop, the battery life is significantly worse than when it acts normally.
I get the same thing. Actually at the moment I am trying to unplug... see the 97% and plug it back in, it will then say fully charged, I unplug it and it says 98%. I am going to repeat this until it actually says fully charged when I unplug it and then reboot to recovery and wipe the stats.
What I am confused about when it comes to reconditioning and wiping is even when the phone says "fully charged" when I reboot to recovery and wipe, once the phone has rebooted it says it's charging again. Should I leave it in until it says fully charged or unplug it after it boots?
It seems to do the 100-97 thing primarily when charging via USB. Almost every time I've seen this happen was when it was charging off my laptop.
I've noticed also that when it does this, the battery icon (I use Segmented Battery Mod) shows "100" solid without a flashing plug icon. If I unplug it, it will drop to 97. If I plug it back in and it actually charges completely, it will flash between the plug icon and "FULL."
hmm...mine does it no matter how I charge it.

Mine USED to do thar with Nero beta 3 now on Axura IRS dine I've been using it for 20 minutes and still at 100%

Updated to Nero v3 and now I have the problem constantly. It will always claim 100% charge when it isn't actually fully charged.

If you've flashed the ROM, do the "recondition" -- or if you have a stand-alone (external) charger, just charge it full, then put in the new battery and wipe your stats. (The recondition thing -- charging, draining, then charging -- is just a theory that on the second full charge you'll get "more" charge in there after a full drain -- I doubt this is true, especially if your battery stats are hosed to begin with.)
As for the dip after you unplug it -- this is just the battery manager varying the maximum charge level to optimize battery life. Laptops do this all the time -- even when they're plugged in, they'll let the machine run on battery power here and there. For a new battery it might only let it dip to 97%. On one of my laptops it has decided dipping way down to 86% is optimal. Just depends on the battery health, usage patterns, etc.
Battery life was pretty bad when I first flashed Nero, but now that I've wiped battery stats, the battery life seems much better. It still does the 100-97/98 thing, so I'm guessing it means my battery is still pretty good despite all the heavy use!
The JL5 modem seems to have worse battery life than JK6 (only very slightly though) but it doesn't get stuck on EDGE like JK6 did... net gain in my opinion.
Not battery life.
Today i noticed my battery meter has been sticking, any way to fix that? It'll drop 20% upon reboot.
Today i noticed that my battery would spike up from 95% to 100% while charging and not go anywhere in between,. Is that normal? Battery calibration app kept going off early, and then as soon as it hit 100% i unplugged it without calibrating it, and it dropped to 99%. Happened twice in five minutes.
Also, instead of using clockwork recovery, i use Battery Calibration app to wipe my batt stats.
What mV should i be on?
One last thing, how do you bump charge? And is it really that unsafe?

I noticed this yesterday, I had my phone plugged in and it was at 94-95% and 2 minutes later it was at 100%.
To bump charge, once your phone is at 100%, unplug your phone power it down then replug it in. Once it shows the green LED meaning 100% charged boot your phone up and keep it plugged in. Might go back to being orange saying its not 100% yet so let it get to 100%. Unplug it and replug it back in a couple times until every time you plug it in it shows green for 100%.
I would think that it would be bad for the battery if you do this every day, but I can't give a definite answer for that. I use Battery Calibration to do that too, but between today and yesterday after I flashed over the new CDMA/LTE radio leak from the Radio thread my battery life hasn't been great. Considering going back to the stock radio.
I've noticed similar things on my bolt and even my dinc. To counteract this, I stopped looking at the battery % and got battery left instead. This app tells you how much longer your battery will last in hours rather than %. I no longer freak out about my battery life, %, or what others are getting; I've never been happier.

Sounds like a good idea especially for me lol. I noticed this morning that my phone was 56%, down from 74%. 18% drain over the time span of like 6-7 hours or so while I was sleeping. Not sure how good or bad that is, but for me it was just like wow.
You're being anal. Don't worry about it. Your phone is working fine. The battery level will appear to jump around a bit, especially when going on/off charger, or rebooting. Search around if you feel a need to know why.
Im unlocked rooted running wetdream. Ever since installing it, the battery indicator wont show charge beyond 95%. When charging with phone off, it reaches 100% but as soon as I power on, it only shows 95%. I've done battery cal app, let die completely twice, charge overnight, pull battery while still plugged in (which I never got missing battery notice for) and wiped battery stats in recovery. Is this something I just need to learn to live with or anyone have any other ideas? Btw, im loving nottachs wetdream rom. I know this has been posted elsewhere, I've tried all those tips. Just wondering if there are any new tried tips I can look into. Tia

Have you tried a fresh reflash of the ROM after you did the battery calibrations?

I had same issue.. Using Battery Dr app to charge my phone.. I just let the phone get down below 20% and then did a full cycle charge again.. that fixed it for me

How did it fix it for you? I tried it last night and still only reached 95%
No need of any app. Just drain the battery till it powers off. Full charge without switching it on. Should get the 100% bck.

i had same issue too,tried a full wipe or flashed different sbfs,but it didn't work at all.i guess it is gingerbread's fault.this didn't happened in 2.2.

I never had this on stock, but with the 10% changes in battery, would I have noticed.
When you are installing custom ROM, this is expected. You can try this,
Steps:
1. Drain your battery till gets shut off, then charge it till it says "Fully Charged" irrespective of 95% or 100%.
2. Once charged, Reboot the phone in recovery mode, keep the phone plugged into charger
3. Start it in Recovery mode using CMW, then remove battery stats
4. Switch off the phone
5. It show battery icon with %, with plugged in remove the battery
6. it will show missing battery icon, then insert the battery.. it will show 5% or 20%
7. Charge it for 3-4 hrs, then reboot the phone, you will see 100%
This Fixed for me...
Hi I've been using Neutrino for weeks and have not been able to get past 97pc battery using all techniques on xda. I finally fixed it yesterday when I installed clamsysns 1.5 kernel and charged over night and it was back to 100.

Just an update. I installed the newest version of wetdream yesterday. Got it to charge to 100% then thru resetting up phone and such, dropped to 18%. Recharged but didn't make it to 100% this time. Got to 95% but 4200mv, so I assumed full charge. At that time it was bedtime, so decided to just plug back into charger for the night. This morning it read 100% again. So its basically getting its full charge, just not showing all the time. A glitch I guess ill have to live with.

i am trying to do this, but no matter how long my phone stays connected it never says fully charged, just keeps showing the animated goo at 90% on top of battrey, it can do that forever, should i try what you said even if it does not say fully charged?
First of all, hello all!
I own a Galaxy Y, which I haven't used since an year, because of a problem that had developed then, until now when I wanted to use it again.
The problem is the following, with some information about the phone itself.
I had rooted the phone earlier, and put in a custom ROM called Jelly Blast v2.0. Later one day, the phone's battery died overnight, and then it discharged really fast, like 3% in 1 minute. So I flashed the stock ROM with Odin, and unrooted the phone. The problem persisted. Whenever I charged the phone, it became hot like hell, and charged 1% in 10 minutes or so. Then I stopped using it, until now. I checked the battery with a multimeter, and it showed 0.00v, that is fully discharged. So I grabbed a cut-off USB cable, plugged it into my PC, and charged the battery up to 3.66v ghetto style. I made sure the battery did not even warm up, for caution, while doing this.
Plugging it into my phone, it showed 1% charge. It charges really slow, and discharges extremely fast. I know the problem is not with the battery, since I had it changed and it showed the same symptoms.
I don't know what's going wrong, but I don't think it is the hardware. The problem should be in the software. Earlier, i had resetted it in CWM, and removed cache. Also, I had removed the battery stats. I don't know if that is the problem. Currently it is running Hyperion v9 Final ROM, with stock kernel I think.
So what should I do? Please help.
