Just got my new Prime and am liking it so far. Having a big issue though, that I haven't seen on the forum before: sometimes the battery level shows 0% even though it's charged. It can show 90%, then all of a sudden show 0% for a while.
Over night last night I left it off the charger and in the battery history you can see it fluctuating between the real % and zero all night long.
Since I'm not seeing this reported by anyone else, i'm concerned that this may be a hardware problem. Android is updated to latest. Anyone else seeing this?
Here's a picture of what it did overnight

Just try a reboot. If it doesn't work. Then try a factory reset. Might clear up the glitch. That's doesn't sound hardware related.
Rebooting fixes it temporarily. Haven't tried factory reset, but will. It doesn't sound like hardware to me either, but it's odd that no one else is seeing this issue if it's a software issue.
I've had the exact same problem. Nothing fixed it. It went back to BB. Bought another one from BB in store 2 days ago (which makes me wonder if a new batch is being shipped to stores) and it is not doing it. It has otherwise been working fine. Recommend u return it.

Hey,
My cellphone is shutting down\restarting (when I'm turning on the phone the battery is on 1-2 percents) by himself while I'm using WiFi more than 2-3 minutes (with no charger, while the charger is connected everything is okay).
the problem appear a week ago, I tried to get back to stock and tried to format and wipe my phone.
I don't remember what I've done before the problem started, I guess I tried to improve my battery life (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15804148#post15804148) which is not really normal and I changed something with the voltage.
I tried to install other roms but still have the problem.
any suggestion?
A wild guess is that phone doesnt read the battery stats correctly.
Power off phone and straight the battery contacts from the back of the phone and also clean them up with an alcohol swap, then go cwm and delete battery stats, reboot and leave it drain, then full charge and check from there.
Be sure not to have a battery hungry rom on it so you do a correct estimation if the problem is gone.
What rom are you using? If its GB then its a thing that we all deal with on it. When my phone gets below 30% and I get a call I can't hang up it just reboots everytime. When its plugged in its all good. My dev is working on it but I guess its a hard fix.
Simply Honey 4.0 w/ 1.2 Bullet kernel. Badass Rom \m/
@peecs121: if you follw the link he posted the problem still persist even on stock jfd samsung rom so is not a rom issue.
I tried few roms, like: honeybee, bionix and the stock version
Btw - I have 2 battery and both of them with the same problem (I don't know why and when but they got swollen from some reason)
If they are swollen they are scrap. You just found out where your problem is.
I think you got fake batteries.
They looks like original, anyway - i will try to change to my friend battery and ill get back with an answer

I have an extremely strange problem with the battery of my s3. When I'm at home, where my signal is extremely poor I last roughly a day wasting 40/50% so that's after 15 hours of discharge. When I'm at work I.e walking taking the train etc, just generally at work my battery goes down 70%!!!!! In 5 hours with minimal use. Eg. Screen on for 20 minutes. Voice calls 10minutes. I can sometimes Ferrell that the s3 Is warm surely it can't be because of the fact it's in my pocket causing the s3 bather to start warming up. I have tried using better battery stats but it gives no reference set yet. Can someone please assist in how to check what the culprit maybe? GPS is off Google now is off. WiFi is off power saving is on. All apps have been closed. Is identical to what I have at home.
Run better battery stats look for wakelocks.

Better battery stats isn't working on s3. It says no reference point set yet. It's a common problem being faced by a lot of s3 owners regarding that app. The developer hasn't updated the ap

I'm amazed at the fact that its been 23 days since I bought the phone and I have yet to turn it off/reboot it since the day I first turned it on. I'm gonna go for a record here, hehe One of he main reasons I have yet to turn it off is because this phone lasts an honest 36 hours so if I forgot to plug it in at night I do not have to worry about a dead phone the next day.
This says a lot for how far android has come, I remember even a year ago, daily reboots were almost required to keep the phone from bogging down.
Just wanted to share, thats all..:good::good:

Right if you don't use the phone you can make it last a week as well.

He's been charging the phone, just not turning it off. He's praising the phone for its stability.

Yeah.. no.. I've had it alive for 8 days and after that my gps stopped working
Interesting. I turn mine off every night and charge it up. It has been at about 60-70 percent when I power down, although I've gotten as low as 35% a couple of times.
I just prefer having that fresh battery in the morning.
I definitely love the stability of this phone. The stock ROM is bar-none. I've yet to force-close a program and the phone has yet to hiccup a single bit.

Now that you mention it, I've not had any FC either.
I'm on a custom Rom and I don't think I have had a force close either lol.... Weird

I have the stock CM10 rom installed, and it usually does something like this that only lasts for a few days and goes back to normal. But this has lasted for almost a month now. As you can see in the pic, sometimes its says charging but doesn't "gain" energy, and when it does in drains extremely quickly. When it is asleep or turned off it still drains. I tried charging it with a different cord, then with my computer. Then I tried using a GS3 cord & adapter, it charged faster, but I couldn't tell how fast it drained since I wasn't using it.
Do I need to replace the battery? If I do, will it cost a lot, because if it does I'm just going to get a Note or DNA....
Try using a battery calibration app, people say to use it when you flash a new rom. Also, it might be an actual problem with the battery itself. Try getting a replacement battery if so. But then again, before you do that try going to stock and see if the problem is still present.

once it charges I'm going to see if that will help. and my son deleted my stock rom (long story), so I'm stuck on jb/ics.
Also its recommended after you calibrate to drain the battery to 0% and then recharge to 100% afterwards. And as far as the stock rom goes, you can restore using Odin and download mode

How much screen on time did you get?
I've noticed that lately (couple of months) my beloved Z4 tablet's battery performance is less than optimal.
I'm about to go through the song and dance of battery optimization, but I wanted to find abusive apps.
Here's what I see; battery is being consumed mostly by the bluetooth connection I keep on nearly 100% of the time I'm using my tablet because of the BK50 keyboard.
Is anyone experiencing something similar or has any recommendation?
thanks,

Im using lineage os and some gladly helped me out with battery im sure tis will work on stock rom no root too. Enable aeroplane mode, disable WiFi when screen is off and disable Bluetooth. Not sure why but I noticed WiFi greatly drains the battery having it off makes it last much longer.

I would try to upgrade to the latest ROM and hopefully some Bluetooth settings are reset after this.
If this does not help do a factory reset.
You could also try a search on "bluetooth reset" on xda.
I get several days of usage (reading, websurfing in the evenings) out of my tablet where Bluetooth is normally switched of.
On my SONY XZ where Bluetooth is on but only utilized in the car or sometimes with a headset it does not even make it to the list of battery drainers.
