Try to see which applications are running and what is more consumundo battery.
And also recommend that you calibrate. Me, whenever I do this procedure, I have a good improvement in autonomy.

Does this happen across different ROMs? You might have a bad battery.

Use Better Battery Stats and Watchdog Lite to see whats happening. In watchdog lite u can set the cpu percentage max to be 20% so that anything going beyond that can be reported. Usually works for me.

I think it might have been the state my battery was in when I flashed the first time because it hasn't done it yet and I was rom surfing last night nothing out of the ordinary happened I'll report back after work tomorrow that should be a good enough time to test it out

[Q] Vibrant shutting down by himself

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

Android or CM7 issue?

This is my first Android, but what would cause my battery to drop from 51% to 18% after a reboot and then 10mins later raise back to 30%?
I'm running CM7 since yesterday

This can come from not have a calibrated battery. If you didn't flash at 100% if will jump around the first few times. Give it a bit. Sometimes it will actually go up.
Fuel gauge glitch, happens sometimes, don't listen to people talking about battery calibration, our gauge is "convergent" and does not require calibration.
Sometimes it just flakes out. The MAX17042 assumes a "relaxed" (not recently charged/discharged heavily) battery on initialization. If something charges/discharges heavily after a reset it'll become "off" for a few hours. Just charge your phone up. It was most likely closer to 20-30% to begin with.
I figured 30% was the closer to the correct %

My bad. I always assumed it was that. It usually doesn't happen after the first charge though.
Happened me too about it i was 50% and when i turn off and re on will drop quick at 12%. I belive it maybe battery die quick only if use reboot all time. Whitout using reboot or restart as far as i know there battery return normal i guess...

Wiping battery stats won't help you, there's a wakelock issue going on there. I would recommend installing BetterBatteryStats ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ) and checking into what is keeping your phone awake, be it a system app or user-installed.

Restart the phone and suddenly battery has half of the juice!

Hi all, as the description says it's quite weird. While I have let's say 56% battery and for some reason I restart the phone, then suddenly after booting it show I have 18%!!! (screenshot attached)

I have latest 4.0.4 official UK unbranded firmware and it happened on 4.0.3 too. I have tried factory reset and doing a battery cycle.
Could it be a pure battery problem or may it be a bug? Anyone else has this problem?

I also have this problem... It's a huge issue for me! Constantly having to recharge! grrrrrr!

Have you tried recharging to 100%, taking battery out for at least 3 mins (180 secs), then allowing full discharge?

Yep tried that. Tried anything I can think of.
Yes I have tried all those battery tips in general...even tried to leave the battery disconnected from the phone for one night after doing a full discharge and them charge with the device turned off.

It's normal. The fuel guage chip in GSII doesn't need calibration, but the downside is sometimes after rebooting below 60-50% battery it can show wrong battery info.The battery still has power just reporting is wrong. If you wait for sometime you'll see the battery climbing back to pre reboot state.
So DON'T PANIC normal operation.
Restarting the phone resets the fuel gauge. If you leave it for a while, the battery will come back
Thanks for the replies!

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
