If you can, try a different ROM, wipe everything, and see if the issues persist. If so try a different battery.

My phone did this using a different cable other then the one that came with it. My solution, use only the cable that came with it.

I have a similar problem. My phone randomly turns off/restarts. Afterwards, my battery icon turns gray for a few minutes. When it comes back, it drops by ~10-20%.
This actually happened to me before several months back. Last time, I called HTC and they gave me a new battery. That worked for a couple of months, but now it's back. I'm currently working with HTC tech support to get it figured out.

I was, but I recently installed Energy rom. The problem is still there. I'm running my phone in safe mode now and seeing if my phone restarts.
Quite a few people have problems with stock batteries. I encounter the same problems regardless what ROM I'm running. I bought a couple Anker 1900 mAh batteries and will report back.
You need a new battery, but you can try draining the battery all the way down to the point that the device can't even come on, then it charge it over night all the way back up. See if that helps, it tends to help with this battery issue.
Ido I have the same prob but I was thinking how about resetting battery stats in recovery

I am so relived to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Let me tell you guys my experience with up to 3 batteries, various roms, and weeks of googling...
So basically, changing battery do fix the problem; but only temporarily. It can fix the problem for about a couple weeks or months, but the problem will come back anyway. I am on my third battery now and switching between the batteries; so, I am pretty sure that it is only a temporary fix. Cycling between the three battery sometimes is pretty helpful (but again, it is just a temporary fix).
Another way to fix it temporarily that works pretty well for me is to take out the battery, wait for about 5 seconds, and turn on the phone again. It only fix the problem for about a couple days though; so, might as well switch battery if you got another battery.
Another possibility to fix it without playing with the battery, you can try factory reset or install another custom rom. It sometimes helps also, but a pain if you are not the type that likes to try different roms.
Lastly, the better and simpler fix is to reboot to recovery, wipe all caches and dalvik, fix permissions, and reboot again. This can fix the problem (but only temporary).
Out of those four tries, I find that swapping battery or full wipe / install
Custom rom tends to fix the problem for a longer time. I haven't been able to find any permanent fox for the random shutdown yet. But, I hope those information helps for anyone who have the same problem

The draining battery does work. Just turn EVERYTHING on to drain it (brightness, GPS, bluetooth etc.) and watch some videos to drain it down all the way. After this do a mini power cycle (pull battery wait awhile, put it back, then leave it charging for at least 10 hours).
This solved the problem for me

Exactly, worked for me and quite a few others, I've tested it myself when I had bought my second device used, it came with this very issue, I killed what was left of it and let it charge over night, it's been remarkable ever since, but different folks different strokes, the next best thing to do is to change the battery since that solved it for others. And for the record, the oem battery is the best to replace it with since some anker batteries have only made it worse for some.
getting my newly acquired Amaze device in a couple of days and will see if i run into this issue... god hope not lol... if battery issue does occur - will follow thru the full batt drain solution (mentioned above).

Get a new stock battery should fix your problem for while

I'm having this issue as well. My phone would randomly just shut off on me while using it at say, 75%, then turn off. When I boot it back on, it drops to around 50% or so.
Does the battery drain fix truely work? My girlfriends phone does the same (its an acer though).

I have my stock battery and 2 Ankers. The phone will randomly die with any of the batteries. The battery drain trick seems to work okay, but it certainly isn't a "fix" IMO.
I drained my stock battery last weekend and charged it to 100% on the Anker charger. Worked great down to 10% on Sunday. Charged the phone to 100% on the nightstand, while I slept Sunday night. Phone randomly shutoff at ~25% at work on Monday. Had similar results with the two Anker batteries too.

[Q] battery switching off at 75%

am facing shut down on 75% or jus aftr a call...
i have tried everything n now i reinstalled fresh stock rom too..
calibration doesnt workout as..phone switches off at 75 and cannot get below it to drain it till zero n recharge again..
deleted stats also...still cant figure out... plz help
Battery dying get a new one happened to me but mine was shutting down at 87% got a new battery (my mistake bought a undervolted one) now my phone shuts down at around 24% but that's because of the battery I bought get a new one a direct replacement no cheap ones

When they die, they die. $10 off ebay got me an oem replacement. Heavy gaming I get a half day to full, depends on game. Regular usage gets almost 2 days worth. With the new one I try not to make it a habit to charge it while over 20% battery and regularly let it die out on its own and use fera's technique to keep it conditioned. Had the same battery for a year now.

Battery Problems

Ok so phone doesn't charge as fast as usual and while charging and using it loses battery percentage and never has before. Also when I get a full charge then unplug it goes straight down to 12%. What do you guys think.... Battery or port problems?

The only way to know that answer is to rule out possibilities. Try different batteries and chargers.

I just bought another battery. I found it was the battery more than port problems or anything like that. My friend and I have the same phones, same roms. We tested this by first going through 3 power cycles. After we charged it, we had only the same apps working, except for some minor checking of FB and twitter (I don't use twitter, but he does).
After our 4th power cycle, it seemed like his phone was dying faster w/ my battery in it. His battery in my phone lasted about 5-10 hours more, I did my normal daily activities on it, even played some youtube videos in class.
So I bought a new one, and bam, stays alive more than 12 hours

i am using super nexus rom battery life is great compared to stock.
try tablet charger if you have. it will charger your phone faster. i am using my nexus 10 charger its definitely taking less time to charge.

Common sense post of the day:
You have to be really careful getting phone accessories off e-bay. In the past I've been duped into buying a fake SD card and a wonky battery.

[Q] Sgs2 weird battery problem

Hi im new to the XDA and have a very weird problem. I have a rooted SGS2 running Task650 aokp jellybean 4.1.2 siyah kernel. I have several problems. My first problem is that my phone wont charge correctly. It charges but it starts to drain after it is fully charged. So over night around 5 am it is fully charged but it drains super fast so its around 72% at about 7am. After playing around taking the battery out putting it back in it has another problem. It charges for 2 or 3 mins then it jumps back and forth between charging and not charging. After trying about 3 days it charges correctly. So for about a week it works and then it starts back up. I would like to try to soft reset it but unlike its stock rom it doesnt soft reste by holding HOME+POWER. I have tried hard reset.unrooting, different charges, and different batteries. Please link me or give me an answer thanks in advance.
ps i have tried wiping battery stats and will it notify me in a email when someone post a commet

If its a s/w issue, better battery stats might give a better picture.
Bbs thread has really good info.
Personally, i have improved my battery life to 4+ hours screen time after analyzing data from bbs. I have understood my phone better now.
Thx i will try and see if that helps

I got the same issue after downgrading to completely stock yesterday during the night. I checked at the cable and used another one to be sure with no success.
Couldn't figure out what was the problem until I noticed my other devices were also affected as they were connected on the same charger.
I then saw my other cable on the other side (the electrical outlet) was disconnected...

The battery problem seems to have gone... I haven't completely charged the phone 100 percent as of yet ,so will tell sot when will do so..... and 1 hrs charge took me from 35 to 75 percent....
everything seems pretty fine.... it's even heading up less....
