I'm on the cognition rom and just noticed that just under 50% battery it jumps to just less than 20% in an instant. Is this a battery issue that can be fixed by clearing battery stats? I'm not sure if this happened with the stock rom.

Sometimes the fuel gauge in GalaxyS phones wacks out. Try a battery pull - if it's still reporting low, it was falsely reporting high before most likely.
Clearing battery stats currently does nothing on our phone, similarly, it did nothing and can't do anything on first-gen GalaxyS devices.

Is this a software or hardware glitch? If a battery pull doesn't alleviate this than what can be done to fix it?
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk
I had something similar. I was at about 60% remaining, and needed to pull the battery due to the phone locking up. When it restarted, I only had 31% remaining.
This is on stuck unrooted.

Ok, so have voodoo odex uvjl4 froyo rom installed and my battery seems to be draining at crazy speeds. I charged the battery to a 100% then with in 3 hours it dropped to 18% and that's with only like 30 mins of use. Tried Reconditioning the battery and clearing the battery cache but its still draining hella fast. Wtf is going on. This can't be normal. No wifi or GPS on.and only a few Widgets used. Also screen brightness is on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Try stopping some services in the settings/applications/running services. Or if you titanium backup pro, freeze some of the apps that are running in the background.

Checked that! Nothing extra is really running. Maybe its my voodoo or rom. At this rate I'm going to have to charge it 4 or 5 times a day! Seems to be dropping about 2% every few mins. Crazy :'(

If problem is there, your choosing the wrong rom.
Try odining back to stock. That's battery usage I've never seen before.

Is the phone getting very hot? Are you experiencing glitches, crashiness or freezes?
Battery drain that severe sounds like a hardware issue.
how long have you been using that rom?

The phone would be getting very hot with that kind of battery drain.
Maybe your battery is fried?
I'd try buying a cheap external (stand-alone) charger and putting a full charge into with that, then immediately wipe your stats upon reboot and see if it goes away.
I suspect phones can't correctly charge your battery full if the stats are seriously hosed to begin with, and even when you wipe the file it seems to assume the battery is 100% full to begin with (which means if it's super low, recharge still won't work) so I wonder if you might never actually be getting a full charge. But that's just wild-ass speculation on my part.
I'm experiencing this exact same thing. To the OP..are you still have the same issue or were you able to resolve it?
Recently I've had a problem where my battery meter doesnt go down till I reboot. Sometimes it will, and then it'll drop like 15% or so. I've had 100% for like thirty minutes now and its kinda scaring me.

I'm not so sure its a problem with the Rom. It didn't start happening till I wiped my battery stats a couple of times.

i been having the same problem but only on my extended battery. if i put my stock one in it reads it just fine and it drops down. when i put my extended battery in it gets stuck forever and if i reboot the phone i lose like 30 percent later on in the day. i did all the methods i can find.
bump charge the phone wipe status let it discharge completely recharge it full and still nothing. i dont worry about my phone dying because its the extended battery but its just more annoying than anything

Well I am having the same problem, except I am on the stock rom, and have never wiped my battery data. I am however rooted, and removed some of the verizon bloat (e.g. blockbuster, ect). Stock battery as well. The indicator and widgets will show the correct percentage on boot, but will not update after that.
I noticed it last night when I was trying different battery widgets. I have tried removing them, rebooting, nothing seems to help.
***UPDATE***
I think I fixed my problem, i'm not sure if they are all related, but here is what I found. I noticed I was getting a force close by SuperUser. So I force stopped it and cleared its data. Did a reboot and now all seems well. No force closed and the indicator appears to be updating.
I'm using battery left widget its fixing my battery metter

Ive been having this with every rom, well virus roms for sure, I just drain the battery all the way down until it dies, then after i fully charge it, it refreshes... goodluck
Wondering if some people are not affected by battery jumping issues (defined as battery % available is higher after the reboot compared to before reboot).
As far as I can tell I'm not. Seems like a normal, steady decline with regular usage.

You are on Gingerbread, right? Can you reboot your phone and see if you have % continue where it left off.
I'm having battery issues as well. It jumps drastically after reboot. I'm on HKTW and I was wondering if the official gingerbread would fix this but I wasn't gonna waste my time if the battery issue still remained

It affects all Gingerbread versions from what I have read so far, so that's why I'm asking if somebody on Gingerbread is NOT having issue to find out what they did or do differently from rest of us not to have this issue. My battery just jumped after reboot from 26% to 89% available.
I'm on Kens GB 4.5.91 and battery works fine. I did use Battery Calibrate after install. I am actually getting better battery life too.

So you if you reboot your phone your new battery reading is continues from where you left off? I did all battery calibration things and none helped.

Ok. Had 50% before booting and now 80% after.
I've only rebooted once since jumping to stock gb. Then, I think I was somewhere around 60% at first then 90% after boot. I originally chalked that up to the battery calibrating itself as the battery was crappy after the upgrade and got better after the reboot. I'll keep a closer eye on it from reboot to reboot.

Well I take back what I previously stated. I guess I am having battery issues. I just rebooted and battery monitor jumped 14% after reboot however it showed a decrease in the Mv available (4039 to 3998). I was much happier thinking I had working phone lol
Hey guys if I remove my battery and let's say I was on 80 % it will drain all the way to 50% . Any suggestions???

No. I just turned the device on and off and that is what happened. If I put it on the charger it counts up from the lower figure. The only time it seams to notice something is wrong is when I use it and the battery figure either doesn't go down, or goes up, leading to a very amusing battery chart.

You are probably using a kernel which uses the battery gauge chip instead of the inbuilt battery meter. This behaviour would be quite normal on such a setup. I am using Siyah kernel and the battery level always goes up when I don't use the phone for a while. Yes, the battery chart looks funny! The overall battery life is just fine anyway.

To fix the issue on Siyah Kernel, download ExTweaks off the play store, and then reset the fuel gauge chip.
Chris.
kernel?
what is your kernel?
I am using Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1[4.0.4] with the CM9 Kernel. But it was doing this before when I had Rooted Stock Rom. It may of been the Kernel in that case as well, but I have no idea what Kernel I was using at the time.
Try Siyah
Try with siyah kernel, is stable, faster and for me the battery life is very good

Hi guys,
I charged my phone to 100%. After I was heavily using it, browsing, going on twitter, etc. And I notice the battery only dropped to 99% while I was using it. It should of at least dropped to 95%.. But when I locked the phone, I waited a minute and unlocked it again then I see the percentage is 92%... Is this normal? I never experienced this before..
I am on stock LFB. I did not root or install any custom roms yet.
Yh I think it's normal. On stock Rom. I stand to be corrected but I think it's not very accurate. There's a mod for it I think. Might need root access. But then u may aswell flash cm10

Nope was always on stock.
I think it is normal. It happens to me as well. Only while using battery intensive apps like gps. While using gps, my battery percentage did not change at all for the 20 minutes of usage. Then all of sudden it dropped by 15%.

You think its a software issue or hardware issue? Could be the battery?
Does it make any difference what charger I am using? I live in Canada and I can't use the charger it came with since it is an international charger.
I used my old iPhone charger instead to charge it.
I also have this issue.
my battery stays stuck at 100% for quite some time, then again at around 20% or so.
