Hello,
I searched but could not find anyone with the following problem on their vibrant. Just got my 4th replacement vibrant, charged it to full, unplugged it and after 3 or 4 hours usually it's at between 60-70% but it still read 100%. Continued through the day and about 10 hours in still reading 100% so i turned off turned on and same reading. Removed the battery and same. Uninstalled battery indicator (My battery widget of choice) and same. Removed battery again and when fired back up and reinstalling batt indicator it read 5%. 5 minutes later it died while still reading 5%. Called t-mobile, explained problem and they sent me a new battery (1650 mAh vs. old 1 at 1500 mAh) So recharged all night and in the morning it was at 98%. And off the charger all day it was stuck at 98%. Pulled battery replaced it and when fired up it was at 34% where it has remained for 6 hours even with gps and wi-fi on (Trying to see if i can get it to move/change) I am running Froyo stock 2.2 with a build of UVKB5 and a kernal version of 2.6.32.9 Am running out of patience waiting for GB and am considering going the root route but right now i just want a phone that accurately reads battery level. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So I had my GS2 fully charged last night. At about 415am I played Game Dev Story for about 30mins and went to bed. I wake up this morning at around 1030 and find my phone completely dead. Obviously this freaks me out since I just got my phone and it should not be going from 100% -> 0% in 5 hours of being idle. Now maybe I didn't turn Game Dev off properly and it was running in the background? I don't know. I got this phone last Monday and this is the fastest it has died. (Even setting this one aside, I'm extremely disappointed in the battery life). Also, I plug it in to charge after I found it dead this morning and went back to sleep. Wake up 2 hours later at 12pm and see its only charged to about 40% and the phone is really hot.
Are these normal for the GS2? It didnt get hot during previous charges (atleast I didn't notice it getting hot). Also what is the average battery life for the S2 and how long does it usually take to charge from 0-100? For some reason I feel like there is something wrong with mine and I should be exchanging it but unfortunately I did root it so undoing the whole process will take some time since I'm still waiting for the jigg.
Normal charge time from zero to full 3-4 Hours via stock charger .
Excessive battery drain multiple posts on the problem .

I don't think anything is wrong with the battery. You can see the battery usage graph, and post if needed. And the device takes around 3 hrs 15 mins from 0 to 100% charge with AC charger.

Hi
I am contacting you as the last hope to have something worked on for my streak regarding the extended battery not getting detected. I have tried all the calibration apps but still no luck.
i have recently purchased this battery and there are issue i am facing regarding the battery mostly regarding the reporting. its the android 2.2 operating system that is the issue, with the 1.6 android it is working perfectly fine as i have tried it on my friend's streak which is running android 1.6 and on his phone properly detects the battery and reports the battery properly and it is dead when it is reaching 0 % unlike mine which works for 18 to 20 hrs when the stock battery meter shows 1% . The Mugen app doesnt help regarding the calibration as i have used the app and have completed 5 charge cycles of 10 - 12 hrs without break. it is mentioned not to let the battery drain to 0% but since i dont have the readin of the battery i cant say whether it is low or not as the system meter shows 1%
The issue that i am as follows.
1. the system battery meter doesnt show the correct reading.. it shows the battery to be fully charged when the
battery is fully charged tht is at 4211 mv and after i take the charger out and use the battery it shows properly how a normal battery shud decrease and then goes and gets stuck at 1% and in tht 1% the phone will work for 18 to 20 hours..so it wierd as u never know as to when the battery would die and this is wht happenned once the phone suddenly died after being on 1% for 17 hrs
2. no other app works properly cause of this. i have tried using battery left and battery monitor app ( which calculates via voltage ) however what happens is that the app shows a correct reading until the stock meter goes to 1% but once the stock meter reaches 1% the app gets stuck at the reading it showed when the stock meter reached 1%. And if i turn of the phone and take the battery out and put it back in the stock meter shows 50% battery left and the app starts working again and once again when the stock meter reaches 1% the app fails and then again if i take the battery out and put it back in again i get 50% battery on the meter. i have checked on forums and it has been concluded tht this happens when the battery made is not a single battery of 4800 mah but 2 or 3 batteries combined together to appear as 4800 mah.. is that the case with this battery.
3. the third issue is of charging back again... after the stock meter stays stuck at 1% and the phone works for 17 to 18 hrs if i put it back on charging the stock meter still stays stuck at 1% and doesnt move forward at all even though the battery is getting charged...again if i take the battery out and put it back in the battery will show the amount it has been charged.
Any help would be appreciated.
i got a new non official battery for my atrix its 1800mah...
it charges to 100% but drops to 5% in a matter of hours of light browsing and a few games...the thing is it stays @ 5% for a long time, my battery was on 15 hours and it was @ 5% for about 12 hours
ive tried to calibrate it, but im not sure if it does it right, i downloaded a battery widget that says i have not calibrated it yet...this is not my first android as ive had plenty but this is the first phone that the battery has acted like this
also i actually have got 2 of those batterys but 1 doesnt catch charge i put it on the phone and the charge screens show 5% and charging but then stops charging after a few minutes and doesnt have enough juice to turn the phone on

Instead of the calibration app suggested in the link I just used CWM to clear battery stats, and *#*#4636#*#* to check if the battery is at full capacity.
im not rooted currently, so ill try the steps except for the jug6ernaut
thanks
Just so you know, the jug6ernaut files are actually what fixes a known battery jump issue with GB. So even if you successfully recalibrate your battery it will most likely still jump around whenever you reboot your phone. For example, you may reboot at 90%, and when it restarts all of a sudden it's showing 100%.
I've had this battery problem before and then it suddenly went away, and now it's back once again. I posted this in the captivate forums and got no luck. I've searched on google multiple times and found no solutions. Just recently, my captivate battery has been draining very fast. I've been going from 100% to 0 in about 8-12 hours. The main battery consumer is Android System. There are no processes that are keeping the phone on according to BatterBatteryStats. I loose about 7-8 percent every hour while it is in idle/deep sleep. If I enable the extreme setting on Juice Defender, it bumps up the battery life to about 45+ hours. But if I use juice defender, sending and receiving mms is very difficult. I tried it on another spare battery and it gave me the same results. This problem started earlier this week and was present when I first flashed a ICS rom back in June and hasn't gone away yet. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I did not change any settings or flash anything new to my phone. One day it suddenly went from 100% to 40% in 5 hours and after I rebooted it dropped to 5% in a matter of minutes. I recalibrated the battery but that did not do anything.
Your battery might be going bad?

My sgs2 GT-I9100 got a new battery because the original one got swollowen , but now it also has problems occurred Recently,
Phone flickers and goes completely off at 40%-50% ,
Wont turn on again unless i plug it in but then it shows 0%,
Happens all the time,
So I restarted the phone at 50% to see SUPRISE then it shows less than 5% battery !
But after 50% its sure phone will go off any sec.
Is there a fix other than going to another new battery again? Tried the Battery Calibration app By a XDA member too...
UPDATE: Got anew battery ( 2nd battery purchase within a month) but it seems to be the problem continues..
Used the battery with the charge it came with... 60% browsed the web...... reached 35%...... Turned off again
Thinking that it happens because of a miscalibration so used the above mentioned app and calibrated at 100% drained till 40% ( light gaming) Went off again....:crying:
Please Help this is urgent!!!!!:fingers-crossed:
UPDATE 1
Did a Reset of the device and charged it fully with the brand new battery (left for couple of hrs after 100%) and I eventually drained it to 50% and did a restart I was left with 10% after.... didn't fixed
I'll try my best to help. Had this problem with an old laptop battery. I just looked a bit around and found that there are several apps that show you the real mAh. SInce I haven't tested of them I won't recommend any.
Are your contacs all clean? Can you measure the output of the battery with a voltage meter?
EDIT: Found this a few posts lower " just reset the fuel gauge chip (rooted) and you are good to go!"
Update flashed a stock jellybean rom lets see what happens
