This has been reported by a few in different threads, but has anyone found a reason why the battery indicator sometimes gets stuck or how to fix it? It's happened a few times with me, the first was before I started using the 1% battery indicator, so i know that's not it.

I've been messing with my phone all night, setting up screens and what not and it just died. I plugged it into the charger and nothing for a few minutes and then the LED turned on and was white. It wouldn't start or go into charging mode. I removed the battery several times and left it out for several minutes. After leaving it plugged in for a few minutes, the LED turned green but still no startup or charging mode. After several more minutes, it finally went into charge mode and the LED turned orange and was 0%! Another 10 minutes and it was 15% and booted fine. I would think I should get warnings and if ignored, the phone would shutdown before completely draining the battery. Is there a setting somewhere I don't know about?
I don't know about any warnings...there is a battery icon on the upper right that I'd think would be fairly hard to miss? Red means charge asap. But if its completely dead, once you plug it in you have to wait a few mins for a charge to build up before you can turn it on.

Edit-
*actually just got a popup message saying i have 15% battery left.
I had an issue once where my photon got stuck at 80% and ended up dying with no error message because it wasn't reading the battery properly. I was able to see in the battery usage after I got it back on that it plateaued at 80% for quite a while. I haven't had the issue since then, but maybe you had something similar happen.

My battery indicator was stuck at 50% so it does sound like the same issue. I thought to myself "wow the battery life is much better than I thought". Guess some things are too good to be true.
Just for the record, I had a similar problem. My phone was reporting a charge of 100% but then I took out the battery, waited half a minute, and when I put it back it the phone said it only had 5% and had to charge it all the way back up!
Download Battery Monitor and put the widget on the home screen. See if its just the icon not updating or something more. I did notice once when it dropped "suddenly" but has not happened since.

I've had this for a while and used it quite a bit. I just noticed it can put the battery percentage in the notification bar and you can tell it to ignore the battery level the phone tells it and to calculate the battery to the nearest 1%! No more guessing what the actual battery level is!!!
Hello,
Im having battery indicator issues, no matter which kernel or ROM i use, it shows incorrect percentage.
Sometimes, when i disconnect it from charger, indicator changes from 100% to 1%, and slowly raises during day.
Has anyone else had this problem and maybe knows how to fix it?

I have a battery reading issue on my Motorola RAZR. Whenever I use a ROM with one percent battery mod, two things happen:
a) It stops charging at 95-96 % (says "full") Not really an issue, if I leave it longer it eventually goes to 100.
b) Dramatic 10 percent(ish) drop. One second it'll be on 27% and then it'll drop to say, 19. It only does this once per charge, and I don't think it's ever at the same level when it does it.
Why does this happen? Is it common? Web search had no answers.
And please don't tell me to calibrate my battery. Not only is that a debunked myth, but I've tried it several times (through an app, and manually through recovery) and it hasn't worked.
Responses are appreciated
Anyone?

Strange battery readings are not unusual after flashing a new rom. I've seen sudden big drops. I've also seen increases in my battery percentage. Eventually after several charging/discharging cycles you should get more accurate battery readings and you shouldn't see such strange behavior.
I've had my SGS2 for quite some time and never really had issues until recently I suddenly started seeing 'drive mode' appearing on the top left corner of the screen - the phone behaved erratically in that whatever I was trying to do, drive mode and vlingo would keep popping up. At the same time this started to cause the battery life to drain rapidly - on a full charge and in flight mode the battery lasts about 7-8 hours, before this I'd get more than a day easily on sensible use - there's also the issue of the back of the phone feeling abnormally warm (which i think is causing the battery life to drain). The phone also doesn't get picked up as a storage device on pc, if i charge it i get various issues like voltage being too high or the battery icon showing a warning triangle and sometimes the battery icon is flashing. I've also tried a factory reset - to no avail. Has this happened to anyone? if so what did you do to get it fixed? Some times when i swithoff my phone, the phone will automaticaly restart. Even in swith off mode also the battery charging symbol is coming. And i had put my screen light to 15 seconds after inactivity.. Bt it is not getting off.If I check the battery details it is showing 79 or 80% for screen... Can anyone tell me the reason?????? How can I solve this problem?????
Got an HTC Wildfire S running AOKP custom rom.
The battery percentage will always charge to around 78-85% (the LED light will remain orange, and won't turn green to show a full charge), then it won't go any higher no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The only way I can get the battery to show 100%, is if I reboot the phone.
Once the battery drains below 80% though, the problem begins again, and the phone won't charge to 100%. I tried wiping battery stats on recovery, and still nothing. I tried downloading the battery calibration app on the play store, and it still did not change anything.
Lastly, I tried reflashing my ROM, and that seemed to solve the battery issue for about 2 days. But then, the issue still persisted not long after.
Any help would be appreciated!
