There is no need to calibrate the battery. When the phone reaches 99% charge capacity, it will take a while for it to achieve 100%. Once it achieves 100%, it will let the battery drop back down to 95% then it will begin charging back to 100%. It is a repeated process. It will keep doing this until the phone is removed from the charger.

That is interesting.. Are you using the stock battery/charger? Are you connected through an outlet or usb port?

Once you disconnect, your battery drops from 90 to 70 in a matter of minutes?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
If that is the case, I would say bad battery. BUT I do remember reading that there were some Evo 3D's that suffered from the same problem, and they were also getting extremely hot. If that is the case, I suggest exchanging.
Was your phone normal before?

Let the phone die down to 15%, then charge it. If it drops significantly again, then we may have a problem. It could be a bad battery or an app you must have downloaded.

A smart phone is like a pocket sized computer. There can be malicious apps that can harm the phone. But if that isn't the case, I suggest hard resetting. If that still doesn't work, replace.

I personally had strange battery problems the first week I had the phone, and after that my battery life became quite good (I did the battery calibration technique from the og evo and it helped a lot also).
So if you're saying it's strange after a couple days I'd say give it a chance to go through a couple more charge cycles. I'd bet the issues will sort themselves out.

try charging it to 100%, calibrating the battery, letting it die, and then recharge it to 100% without any interruptions.

Download the Battery Calibration app from the market and follow its instructions.
Also, go to the battery settings and look up what's eating so much battery.
I've read before that Motoblur Social Networking service can misbehave and slaughter the battery.

If i were you i would do a factory restore. No, actually if i were you i would flash a ROM that allows bypassing motoblur login (like NinjaFC).
Cause I am 99% damn sure one of the motoblur services is destroying your battery.

If you want help I suggest you provide more information. ie what rom you are running, how long you've had the phone, etc. If it is a brand new phone your battery may just need to be conditioned. Charge it to full, use it to empty, charge to full again and you should be good to go.

Its odd that a new stock phone doesn't run the battery well. in any case, the battery may not be calibrated yet. you can run this program. it will set the calibrate your battery for you. Let your phone drain down to under 15% before you recharge again. And let it fully recharge to 100%, then run it down thru the day to under 15%. After a few cycles like this, the battery will normalize. Then you will get a better idea of the battery life of your phone.

Title pretty much says it all. I have a stock, i777 running on 2.3.6 and yesterday out of the blue, the phone would lock up (not respond to any touches on the screen, the power button or the volume rocker) so I would pull the battery out and restart it. When I did, the battery would drop off like 15%.
I did a search but didn't find any relevant issues. Many people simply complained about battery drops after regular restarts, not after freezes.
Would greatly appreciate some help!
Same thing, it has to do with the fuel guage of the phone

Again guys, this only happens after the phone locks up/freezes which is multiple times per day. Otherwise, battery drain is norma
U didn't say whether u were rooted or not. So I'm assuming you aren't? Which means screen lock ups aren't from undervolting?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Read this and see if it helps..Entropy explains why the battery gets crazy after a reboot. I would assume it would be the same if you had to pull the battery, the gauge i guess would still get reset.

I said I was stock in the first post. Is there something else you need to know? Just to clarify, I haven't modded/rooted/etc. Still on stock 2.3.6 w/ Touchwiz.
The battery issue isn't the major issue, it's the freezing of the phone multiple times a day. Is there a diagnostic tool I can use that will show a log of the processes that were running when the phone froze? That could help me narrow down the issue.

I think you can avoid the battery level glitch by plugging in a charger before you reboot.
Maybe the freezes are being caused by a rogue app. I can't remember what the app is called at the moment, but there is one app that monitors cpu usage and can warn you if an app is using too much cpu time.
Watchdog and betterbatterystats. Yes u can monitor apps. But I wouldn't think an app would just start doing that out of the blue. Hmm. Its really hard to tell ya what to do if you aren't even rooted,may wanna think about doing that. Opens up a lot more options for fixing / monitoring.

Restarts are a [email protected] on battery. Every system app hits at same time. The way charge stays in batt. Anything under about half on batt charge...it will seem to drain quicker. Its the chemical makeup of batt that does it. Think of bubbles in soda bottle... More full bottle more fizz more bang. Less soda... Less bang.... And flat. Keep off any widgets ....they tap batt constantly as well as data...which hits batt. Ahh Physics and Chemistry, love it.
We will sort you out!

I don't think the sudden drop in battery is anything to worry about. My phone does that but the battery level slowly gets higher over time without charging. The actual charge level in the battery doesn't change.
Had the same exact thing happen sort of mine would heat up, freeze, then shut off, restart all by itself but it would hard reset. So my question is, Is it a brand new device or refeb? I got a referb and had the same thing at first it would freeze then after a while it would start heating up then resetting itself. So call warranty dept and ask for a replacement device and not a new battery.

This is what has worked for me every time no matter if stock rooted or any other custom rom..... and I do this switching back and fourth between extended and stock battery..... you must be rooted.... atleast i was.
get the battery monitor widget from the market. In the setting you can change the ma rating of the battery you are using. Once you have done that click on stats in the app and it'll clear battery stats. Reboot phone go into app and clear stats again. That should be it. When I had clokworkmod installed on the reboot id clear battery stats in there as well.

I believe it's in the app he mentions. The "wipe battery stats" option is also in the advanced menu of CWM (clockwork mod). If you do not have a custom recovery installed just disregard that part as bootstrap does not have it.
