I usually have the same problem, but only when my phone locks up and has to hard reboot. I've never selected reboot and it's done that... odd...
Theres many threads about this, and our batteries do NOT need calibration. It's based off of battery voltage, and during intensive tasks (like booting) the battery voltage takes a drop which the fuel gauge reads from, which is why you can see your percentage going up for a bit, then going back down.
It's more apparent at lower battery levels. With that much screen time and usage, I'm not suprised it dropped that much.
Just a battery glitch, nothing to be alarmed about. You'll see that it will stay at the reboot level or even rise after it realizes the real level.
Calibration doesn't do anything for these phones either.
I agree. I have been having this problem. I tried battery calibration but it doesn't help. So now I just live with it, I just avoid rebooting my phone.
I also would be glad if someone comes up with a solution to this problem.
I think I have tried about everything discussed in the xda forums, but nothing helps.

If you need to reboot and your battery is below 75% connect it to a charger to avoid this.
It isn't something you can fix, search there is a few threads/posts about it.
Main post you should pay attention to...

It can't be changed without hardware alterations.
As with anything in engineering, there are tradeoffs. The positive aspect of this fuel gauge design is that it does not require ANY calibration. No wiping battery stats, no "always flash firmware at 100%" - none of that.
The negative is that in a few corner cases, it gets thrown off temporarily. This is basically the only known one.

This "problem" is a function of the device hardware. The only way to get rid of it is to smash your phone with a hammer.

This really needs to go in the FAQ. You're not magically losing battery, just the estimate is dropping.
It only happens when there is heavy load (such as booting) right after a fuel gauge reset (such as a reboot).
So, either:
1) Don't reboot on battery <60% or so
2) Reboot while on a charger if you do reboot with low battery
3) Live with it, it'll resolve itself in an hour or two
It's a tradeoff - we have ONE corner case where the fuel gauge gets thrown off, in exchange for NEVER having to perform any battery calibration voodoo black magic. The fuel gauge will always converge towards truth, while other gauges will diverge over time, requiring periodic calibration cycles.
ohh, I didn't know we didn't need battery calibration, thanks for the information!

Hi guys I have noticed a strange Battery status..
I had my battery percentage showing above 50%
Then I switched off the phone,
took the battery out for a few seconds,
put back the battery and switched on the phone.
The battery was down by 15-20%
Then it started to gain a few percentage (upto 5%) of battery without me putting it to any kind of charging point/data cable.
What kind of weird thing is this in the Galaxy s2.
I am using Android 2.3.5
Simple&Clean v1.3
Speedmod k2-16
I have also attached a screenshot of it.
Please tell me why is this happening cuz this happens every time i take my battery out.
Thanks
nah, its ok. just a bug which happens sometimes. happened to me many many times.
Or if you are constantly overcharging the battery it will happened .

You can't overcharge if your phone is working right. Its probably just drift in the monitoring circuit.

It's due to Samsung's built in battery calibration. When flashing firmware cwm can throw battery stats off, but after using the ROM for a while it will auto correct itself. Nothing to worry about dude!

hey djsherry, did u figure this problem out? because I have the same and if you (and others) have a close look at your screenshot your phone shows the same amount of time both for elapsed and remaining time on battery!!! Thats a weird situation, I have read hundreds of threads and still couldnt figure that out! Anyone??? Must have a problem with the hardware (battery monitoring) or with the battery itself?!?
Search before posting please, nothing weird about this. It is well documented well understood behavior.

Its common, resetting your battery gauge will reduce this to some extent

I'm thinking of making a script to reset my battery stats every morning when my phone is at 100%. I understand most of you won't believe this will extend battery life, but it has worked for me time and time again. After a couple days my overall battery life appears to shorten until the stats are reset. I believe this is because it resets the voltage threshold where the phone says to turn itself off. This is controlled by software because if the lithium ion battery gets too low then it is unable to recharge itself and will be damaged.
I am seeking advice on making a script. Can this be done with an app?

I think you're wasting your time. Wiping battery stats does absolutely nothing. One of googles own developers said wiping stats is a myth. Its all placebo

didnt want ya thinking i was making stuff up, so here ya go. just for reference, shes an android framework engineer. if you dont believe what she says, well then, i dont know what to tell ya
Dianne Hackborn - 6:42 PM - Public Today's myth debunking:
"The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/directory."
No, it does not.
This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.
That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.
It has no impact on your battery life.
Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it for away.

I get it. Some/most don't believe that wiping battery stats extends your battery life. I really do understand that it makes no sense. The only thing I know is that on the days that I wipe my battery stats, the battery lasts longer and I can be on my phone more without terrible battery drain.
I don't care why this happens or gives me the perception of it happening. I will happily be wrong and ignorant and enjoy my phone more. I just want to figure out how to make a script that resets when I hit 100% in the morning after charging.
How can I make a script that is either triggered by time or battery percent? I looked into Init.d, but that seems to only work on startup.
Thanks for the responses.

To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well.

MONEY. Lots of MONEY.

... The Android engineer stated that the file is wiped when you restart ... just restart your phone every morning. Probably good for a lot of things.
So the special charging trick helps. Must get a few extra mA into the battery or something. Would be really cool to script something to perform the shutoff and startups. Looking into tasker app.

Seriously what is wrong with my cell?? I can not leave it idle/ put it to sleep! Whenever i do so, the battery meter drops to 0 and i can't even switch it on, without plugging in the charger and charging it for 5 minutes, after which the battery shoots to 100. Without letting it go idle, however, i can use it for 2-3 hours non-stop, during which it heats up a lot. Is the battery faulty, or something wrong with the cell itself?

Try resetting battery stats (that doesn't seem like it's the problem, as well as formatting system, wiping data, wiping cache, dalvic, voltage options (if you've even messed with those), and then booting up the phone once, turning it off, take the battery out for a couple minutes, put battery in (keep phone off), charge for 15-30 minutes, turn on, and see how everything looks then. If it seems to have resolved the problem, I suggest just turning your phone back off and charging it the rest of the way. If what I said above does not work, then your battery is probably ****ed, or possibly your phones battery connectivity port (idk too much about that). Since the problem persists on both stock and CM I'd say it's very likely to be your battery. Try buying a new OEM battery if what I said does not work. They're usually 30-45. You can buy cheapo ones too (probably won't damage your phone like others say - enough to care), but expect them to be a lot less efficient/weaker.

That's is very weird.
I don't want to conclude that your battery is faulty.
I think the reading is anyway inaccurate.
Try the following:

-Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone
-select battery information

My brother's phone has the exact same issue and we got to the same conclussion. Please let us know how it went (out of curiosity, cause he is returning the phone, but we've invested so much time into it that I want to now what was the issue...).
Hey this is my first post on xda
When my phone freezes for abit it automatically resets itself which i suppose you can consider normal. But after the reboot i have to connect charger. I can have around 70% charge but after the reboot its more like 10%. I have also gone through 3 genuine samsung batteries in the past 3 months. I can only put it down to bad phone voltage.
I have had this problem with my SII for the past couple of months. Its around 16 months old and not yet due for an upgrade so im hoping to fix it.
The pictures show my battery dropping around 30% just because my phone became unresponsive and would not work so i restarded it.
Cheers in advance, Chris

Happened to me quite a few times too. But mainly because of I was on a non stock kernel.
Would want to know whats occuring within it to cause such a drain.
Maybe its a battery calibration issue. It was not discharged instantly but the reading was inaccurate. ?
Have to tried recalibration techniques?

Assuming you have rooted your SGS2, have you tried to reset the battery stats in CWM?
Battery stats is the file which is responsible for battery graph in settings. So deleting it won't help.
I find there is a huge battery drop (ex from 50% to 10-12%) when I reboot my phone. It even gives a low battery notification and all. With time the % status increases and stabilizes around 40%. It happens irrespective of the Roms.
A search on xda resulted in multiple threads with 2 outcomes -
1. Faulty battery - which can't be the case as sometimes it even gives me 2 days of backup.
2. It's a known issue
Could not get anything concrete on searched threads and hence this post.
Now my queries are below -
1. If it's a known issue, does everyone else face it?
2. What can I do from my end to avoid it? Except, of course, changing the battery.

It only seems to happen to me when I have to force reboot by long pressing power button (say if I get a rare complete freeze). If I reboot normally I don't get the issue. However, I've seen members post that if you reboot to recovery, and then boot from recovery that you won't get the drop.
That being said, remember that it's only the reported value that is wrong. Your battery voltage is (relatively) unchanged before and after the reboot. In other words, rebooting doesn't eat 40% of the available voltage, the available voltage is being incorrectly reported.

So its the reporting from the hardware to software which is incorrect. Is there anything which we should/shouldnt do to avoid this discrepancy? asking because I remember I never got it for almost 2 years, it started almost since 2-3 months only.

That's the logical conclusion I've come to, yes. Like I said, to avoid it, you can reboot to recovery and then boot from there. Personally, I ignore it. It goes away if you charge back to 100%, and battery voltage is unchanged as I said. It almost seems random to me, it used to happen a lot to me. Now I haven't had it for about 5-6 months I'd say. And I don't know what's different, nothing that I can put a finger on anyway.
I'm not sure, I've never used reset fuel gauge. If I remember correctly, that will end up in even more screwy battery values once you press it until the next charge (I could be wrong). But search for a proper explanation of what it does, and maybe give it a try. Post up here if you find out anything from your experiments
I slightly disagree to what the member advised/concluded. To my experience this drop happens when you battery is about to die or needs replacement. Get a new battery and no drop will happen.
It would not drop if you hootboot it, the reason behind this is that it does not completely shuts down your phone hence cpu does not work heavly like it does on reboot.

I had tried that twice in past when I was on Dorimanx kernel which screwed up the battery stats for a charge. It came back to displaying normal battery status after a while. Though I did not notice anything specifically good/bad on that matter.
Now it brings me to another doubt.. did i make the matters worse by resetting fuel gauge?

Cant agree with you on a dying battery concept, mate. I am getting such awesome battery life(depending on ROMs) (sometimes 2 days) that I do not think its something related to age of the battery. Its 2.5 years old but still going good, no heating, no sudden deaths.

Cant agree with you on a dying battery concept, mate. I am getting such awesome battery life(depending on ROMs) (sometimes 2 days) that I do not think its something related to age of the battery. Its 2.5 years old but still going good, no heating, no sudden deaths.

I think your lucky with the aged battery i would say. Yes, rom plays a big rom here but then i have also noticed if your rom has lot of boot services to start then your cpu will be much active which puts load on battery for power and if battery is weak it will not be able to execute the requored power.
This problem is more with sammu phones

The battery is 2.5 yrs old ?!
This is absolutely the cause of the problem you're seeing (beyond the misreporting stupidity suffered by all Samsung phones already discussed). Replace it.

Replace it just because it misses on reporting correct charge info on reboot? Don't you think it will be a little harsh on current battery?
Jokes apart, it has to give me more signs of aged battery like atleast low backup to start with.

Yeah. Maybe lucky. Not on Sammy roms Btw. Beanstalk, AOSB and cyanfox have given me very good battery life.

Ya as i mentioned all sammy roms are full of junkies which custom rom keep away. As a result it demands less power on boot and keep users happy

Nope, as MistahBungle said already, apart from the the 'usual' Sammy battery reporting issues, a 2.5 year battery is the root cause of your problems.
And I don't agree that the reboot is actually using 40% battery to complete (or that a custom rom with its fewer processes will alleviate this). As I said, the voltage is being reported wrongly. However, you won't see the situation improve without buying a new battery. I suggest you buy a genuine Samsung replacement off eBay or similar, IMO there's no point stuffing around with fakes which aren't their claimed capacity.

New battery it is then. Thanks all.

A small attempt to buy an original battery lead me to the extended 2000 mAh battery link (EB-K1A2EBEGSTD) which I am not finding anywhere in India.
Has anyone bought it recently? or Does anyone has any information about where can I get in India?
I own one but I've had it for about 18 months. It is really good, but as I don't live in India I can't give you any tips for buying one sorry. I got mine off eBay.
