Lol not sure what happened here.
I left my phone off charge to take a shower at 60%, came out and it was 20%?
Im on MIUI Rom 1.11.11
Is it just bad calibration or something?

Did you also see a significant drop in raw battery voltage?
Most likely the fuel gauge just glitched or reset. 40% in 20 minutes = 2 amperes drain, our device simply can't pull THAT much current, not even close.
Does if really equate to that much? I have seen a few cross ROM battery complaints ND I'm pointing my finger at the Facebook app

Fastest ive had mine drain down is when I left PocketCloud logged into a VNC session. It will run it down close to that fast.
Ya, Id take it off teh charger, reboot and see what it says after that.
When I was running CyanogenMod 7 this would happen all of the time to me. My battery would be at 98% and then suddenly after about 5 min, it would read 50%. I'm not really sure what caused this, but CyanogenMod 7 is the only ROM that I have had this issue with.
I'm now running Miui and I haven't ran across this issue yet.
I did read that calibrating your battery should solve this issue though.
Possibly similar to what a few of us encountered here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325164
It had to have been pretty hot to draw that much current that quickly. It's a 1650mAh battery. It will provide 1.65A for an hour from fully-charged, until it is discharged. You lost 40% in, say 15 minutes. That's 160% in an hour. Or about a 2.6A rate. Nearly 10 Watts. Sammy spec's a 9 hour talk time rating on 3G. By comparison, this means normal battery usage during a phone call is about 0.18A. Think about how warm the phone gets during a call, and compare that to how warm it'd have to get if you were sucking juice at 14x the normal rate.
If it wasn't really hot, IMO, either there's something wrong with the battery or your issue is "cockpit error".
Minds did the same thing today. I think it was from a old theme I applied.
After the theme was converted my phone started acting funny.
The screen started to lag
Phone got extremely hot without even being touched, just laying on my bed.
Phone kept rebooting
I didn't have any of these issues until I added the theme

It did happen to me too, I just added a new theme (GOlauncher app) and the phone has started to get hot without using it, and the battery goes down very fast.
Ive been using 1800s lately..2 of them that i charge with an external charger that came with them. Usually getting around 18 hrs at normal/heavy use. Considering i was lucky if i ever made it 12 hrs on the stock 1500, it was a good deal.
So both 1800s were dead and the plug in charger wasnt charging for some reason...phone kept restarting.. so i popped in the stock as a last resort and it made it 1 day 13 hrs and might have kept going if i hadnt taken it out at 4%. Really??
What changed it? I had charged it on the external charger and itd been sitting unused for a few weeks. Or does the phone adjust to longer cycle times when using extended batteries?
Ill have repeat the experiment and see if i get the same results.

This comment was unnecessary. He's just asking a question.
Anyway, it may be a calibration issue but regardless how are you getting your battery to last so long? Do you not use your phone heavily?

Some higher power decided you deserved an ungodly amount of battery life considering two 1800's broke on you
I've no idea as to why this would happen. You got quite lucky my freind!
Just to clarify for future reference, battery calibration has never been and never will be relevant in accurate battery readings. It tracks what hardware and software on the phone have used the battery, nothing more.
Anyway, I don't have an answer for you. The fact that you got significantly less battery from your 1800's as opposed to your recent stock battery experience simply doesn't make sense. Could you have been using one of your 1800's and not realized it? I know that sounds silly, but that drastic improvement from a considerably weaker battery is illogical. I think you're missing something.
I could be wrong though, and for your sake I hope I am. I hate the stock battery. It's horrendous. Trident 3800mah ftw!
I am a heavy user most days. I turn the data off most nights and mostly just use wifi at home. I didnt play as many vids or any games that day but none of that matters most of the time. Light or heavy use and i usually get crappy battery life. The 1800s being the exception. Not broke...i just hadnt had time to charge them..the external charger is very slow..im talking 6 or more hrs for a full charge. So honestly no idea how my stock battery outlasted my 1800s... im going to put it on the external charger and try it again next battery change. Couldve been a fluke.

Obvious lack of a read is obvious. Please, do read the entire original post before making a response. It comes across as rude, and is simply not productive. It isn't necessary.
Thanks!
It was definitely the 1500... the batteries look different and the 1500 actually counts down accurately...was nice having that again for a change. The 1800s i have seem more for the atrix than the x2 or theyr from a batch that just dont report accurately. It goes from 99 down to 1% within the first few hrs and then just stays at 1% for the majority of the charge. So i never know when its going to shut off on me.
The 1500 is charging..so ill give it another go whenever the 1800 thats in now dies.

Mine has done that also, more than once. Doesn't seem to effect anything though. Seems to go away after a battery pull. Weird.
It mustve been a fluke. Used the 1500 again and got maybe 16 hrs. Thats still longer than what i usually got out of it when it was my daily. Letting it die completely and then using the external charger does seem to extend the charge cycle a bit..but thats nothing new.

I agree with you. I find it amazing to get that much battery life. I am using a knockoff 3800mah and would not trade it for the world. Especially since I got it for 15$ including shipping!

That big drop off at the end always happens to me when I upload a big video to dropbox or I sync my T-backup to dropbox.
I don't have Wifi at home.
I have seen it mentioned in here a couple times now about "letting the battery die completely" don't you all realize how HORRIBLE that is for the life of a Li-on battery?! these batteries were DESIGNED to last longer and stay "healthier" when you plug in when it gets down low on charge (say 15-5% with 5% pushing it cuz its gonna shut off real soon) tho I do understand it's difficult to gauge when to plug in using a 1800mah(aka Bh6x battery) due to inaccurate readings by the system (it's best to use a widget that will show in real time the voltage left and when it gets low throw it in charger).
ALL these battery "calibration" apps& techniques have been lieing, they almost all day to drain battery completely when that's just a bad idea (not to mention "calibration" isn't actually necessary IMO anyways)
sorry, didn't mean to get off topic...

I see those "empty spaces" sometimes as well, usually happens if I have rebooted, pulled battery, gone into BSR , time got screwed up somehow (I set time manually most of time cuz i found using automatic setting seems to make my phone wake up for no apparent reason..if I need to reset time I just check the automatic box for a minute and the time/date goes to what it should be then I uncheck it)
but I haven't exactly pinned down what causes those lines, if I figure it out I'll let ya know

Being there's so much difference in battery life, I was curious if there might be a bad batch of phones. My phone gets great life and my dad's gets significantly less. He works about 2 blocks away from me and actually has a stronger signal in his building than I do at mine and his battery drops like a rock with nothing running. I'm rooted and froze the AT&T bloat. He's stock.
My serial number contains a PTM and the end number is in the 40000's. His serial number contains PZK and ends in a number in the 30000's. If you have time post your serial # info and how your battery life is.
I returned my ladies OG and now her battery life is better. Even b4 I rooted it drain was better from prior phone. Could be a batch. That's my lead as well

Does this phone have the ability or need to reset battery stats? I know you couldn't do it, or it was unnecessary on the SGSII. Just curious if it's a calibration issue.

Resetting battery stats actually has no correlation with battery life whatsoever. It is not what controls the percentage that we see in screen. I believe it just tracks what apps or system files are or have been using up the battery. Battery stats gets an automatic reset whenever you reboot anyways.
For those with bad battery drain, just try and see what your serial numbers are n post it here to compare.

The battery life on my phone and seemingly most folks is great. Granted some folks probably live on the cusp of LTE coverage in their area and the radio is killing the battery while liking for signal (that happened to me with my EVO 4G).
If it were all devices, then only the battery life fanatics who shut down everything would be seeing 20hrs on a charge.
I think there's a bad batch of hardware or there.

my s/n: KPUU 40000's the high end. I dont think its a batch.
seems odd that those who are having the issue are not likely to make to 10hrs on a charge (often 1/2 that)...while others are bumping 20hrs (myself included).
i have 4 emails on constant sync, as well as, facebook, weather, xda and a chess. each day has a couple hours of screen time. 1hr each day of either Pandora or Audible. 20-50 text and @45min - 1hr of phone time. ... in case you think i put my phone in my pocket and forget about it.
granted, i do connect to wifi at home and work. and i live in an area where i have solid LTE coverage at all times.
audible and screen time are my worst battery drains.

We got ours off the box. Not sure where you'd get it in the phone.
Did a little more research. Set them side by side for an hour with screens at same brightness, always on, with Nexus live wallpaper running. Both were hooked into wifi and the microcell. Battery usage over a 1 hour period was pretty much identical (within 1%). Then did some web browsing and hit all the same links and drain was the same. We thought it maybe was just battery conditioning. When I first got it I did 2 full drains and recharges with it off. He did that about a week in and thought it was fixed.
I left and a couple hours later his battery started to tank. Only thing we noticed was his accelerometer hung for some reason and had 5 hours on. He hadn't used anything that should have turned it on so no idea why it got stuck. Turned it off and the battery usage slowed to what one would expect. Then it had another couple minute burst of dropping. that was the last I heard.

The one thing I've notice about my phone is that when looking at my wireless icon in the notification bar, there is something transmitting 90% of the time (download it appears as it is just the bottom arrow blinking). It does this even when sync is turned off. I've gone through the phone and I can't see any app running. Has anyone else noticed this?

My replacement phone literally just ran all night. I had been awake backing up my system with Titanium, and it stalled before I went to bed. TB kept my phone running for 8 hours straight with the screen on and my phone is only at 18%.
If your battery life is ****, return it. Currently running Stock, rooted and unlocked with dormancy fix.

Last week, prior to the new OTA, my battery life took a noticeable and significant drop.
According to my Battery Widget my fully charged battery lasts on average 1 day 17 hours and 24 minutes. This is typically with between 2 and 3 hours of screen on time. But ever since late last week my battery has been dying in under 24 hours.
I have been using the built in power usage menu, Better Battery Stats, Battery Widget, and now even GSam Battery to try to identify the problem, but I have been unsuccessful. GSam Battery says that apps are using 83.9% of my battery, with the Kernel (Android OS) the largest offender by far (58.5%).
Has anybody else had a noticeable drop in battery life recently? I'm just wondering if it's an app update that has gone wrong somewhere, but I haven't been able to pinpoint anything yet.

msm_hsic_host and suspend_bakoff are the two biggest offenders, at 22h and 6h respectively.

It might not be an app causing it. You know how the DNA was said to have really bad battery life when it was launched? it was cause of this issue...i think...are you rooted? if so, install a custom kernel and it should have the hsic wakelock fixed. Its weird that the problem just started happening randomly but it seems to be that issue.
Try disabling fastboot and restarting if you haven't already?

I'm not rooted, running bone stock.
I've had the phone since November, I got it a few weeks before they were even launched (HTC sent it to me) and the battery has been an absolute champ the entire time I've owned it. If it's something kernel related I'd be really surprised, as this only just started happening last week.
I'll try disabling fastboot and restarting to see what that does for me, though honestly I've never changed those settings in the roughly 5 months of owning the phone, so I still feel like there has to be something I can uninstall to resolve.
According to both GSam and Better Battery Stats, something is keeping my phone awake nearly constantly. In the screenshot below, you can see that since the last boot, the phone has been on for 4h 27m, and it's been awake for 4h 22m. Only 18m of screen on time.
I installed Wakelock Detector this morning after my battery had dropped from 100% to 74% overnight. I rebooted and it's been running ever since, so I guess I'll keep an eye on it as the day progresses. Right now it's not showing anything unusual, at least so far as I can tell. Maybe I should just recharge back to 100% and let it start fresh.

Well I finally did this yesterday and it seems to have done the trick. Not really sure why that would become a problem randomly after 5 months, but the battery is running seemingly even better than before now.
I couldn't charge it to a full 100% last night, but I got it to 99% and I had to head out, and it's been off the charger for 15 hours now and is still at 90%.
Kudos to you, thanks for the tip!
no problem! i'm glad i could help! the thing is..fastboot doesn't allow your device to fully shut down so disabling that and restarting closes everything and allows the phone to actually reboot.
I think its a dumb option since phones usually aren't restarted unless there is a need for it...i go weeks without having to restart so why do i need a option thats going to save me 10 seconds for problems. i always keep it disabled.

Well for the first three hours I was on 4G but I just wasn't using the phone much. Got home and had it set to WiFi for about two or three hours, then went to bed and shut off both WiFi and Mobile Networks (I always do that at night).
It did seem pretty ridiculous to me as well, but you can check out the screenshots below. The first one was earlier, the next two I just took.
I charge my phone to 100% nightly and in the morning wake up to around 94% battery left which is great. Last night however, I charged it to 100% but for whatever reason woke in the middle of the night and opened my phone to check the time (I have a QuickCircle cover) and it was dead. The battery was at 0%. When I went to sleep there was nothing running on the phone and the screen was off....how can I find out what caused this?
thanks,

I noticed something last night which got me a little paranoid, I killed all running apps and was in my home screen and even tho I didn't have anything running my data icon was spinning like crazy as if something was being downloaded or synced. I tried restarting my phone but nothing, I then tried killing most running processes but again nothing seemed to stop it.... I ended up taking out my battery and left my phone like that all night. I came here today to ask and talk about it and see if anyone else had this weird thing happen to them. I'm commenting on your post because I'm sure that if I would have left my phone on, the battery would have drained pretty quickly. So let me know if you notice some weird data activity going on on your device. Then again it could be just a coincidence.

hmmm, maybe something similar happened on mine and I didn't catch it. I noticed today that my contact pics I assigned to people are all wrong and they weren't yesterday. Seems like the phone had a major meltdown.....
Not sure if you can find out what caused exactly that, but you could try installing better battery stats & if it happens again, plus you can see what's using what.

Same thing here. I noticed my battery draining unusually fast.
Culprit: Connections Optimizer. Disable that thing.

I've learned ever since Sprint created that program that it causes more problems than it solves and have always left it off since my Galaxy S3.
My issue was Location Services. I did a test a few nights ago where I left my phone off the charger while I was sleeping. Went to bed at 100%, woke up to 100%. I used Greenify on some system apps including Location Services
Here's everything I greenified as well
I always disable connections optimizer. I think 6% is a little high for overnight loss. The g2 and g3 are 2 of the best phones as far a battery life at idle. My phone almost never drops a percent within the first 5 or so hours after charging unless I'm using it.
