Hello.
Because of numerous rom and Kernel flashes my battery behaves erratically.
For example, i am out of battery, my phone died, but when i put it for charging, the battery status indicates 100%.
I have tried clearing the battery stats but no luck there.
How can i solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Charge full battery and calibrate it with battery calibration from google play
I can't. I am charging the phone with it off, but it indicates a full charge state. If i try to power it on, after about 1-2 minutes, the phone turns itself off, like when not having enough battery.
I have tried the battery calibration tool, but the problem still persists.

I think you should read this tread regarding MAX17040 chip that is installed in your battery and steps to reset it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273. If this doesn't work then I'm afraid that your battery is gone and that needs to be replaced.
I have done the indicated steps and i had no luck.
I have observed that after charging to full ( 100% ) the phone runs ok until about 93-94%. After this, the phone shuts itself down, and if i try to power it on, the display hangs at the Galaxy S2 screen ( the one with the triangle )
What am i suposed to do?
This happened to me before, and i got over it without much hassle, but now i can;t get past it.

or u can look at the beautiful triangle
joke
maybe this would help
reboot in cwm,
-factory/data reset
-cache reset
-in advanced menu dalvik cache reset and battery stat reset
-in mount and storage menu format system
-flash custom rom,
-when done ( do not restart system ) do a factory/data reset and battery stat reset again
i know, i can see irony in my advice but can't think of anything else
Try charging it for a while, just to make sure it is actually 100%, then pull the battery and wait 2-3 mins. Plug it back in should be good to go, works every time for me.

1) Battery calibration apps/methods are rubbish/placebo & do absolutely nothing. Save your time/money.
2) Sounds like the battery is cactus to me. Time for a new one.
I have managed to get it working by leaving the battery out of the phone, overnight.

hi, i have latest energy rom. since last 2-3 energy roms i have a problem with my battery. it drains very fast and when i charge it, it also charges very fast! in half an hour. for instance,right now, i put it on charge, and it flashes green and yellow, the battery shows 100%. when i take the charger out, it shows me 74%. what can i do?
im also using the same rom, what radio did you use? im using 2.10.50_8.2 also charge fast buat discharge normally
i haVE THE same radio like you
flashing charge light usually indicates faulty battery or charge control circuitry.
any chance of you trying another battery?
you can also try completely draining the battery, get rid of the last dregs by trying to power on a few times, then charge on mains for a good few hours.
BUT draining the battery completely may just result in not being able to use the phone at all till you get a new battery maybe the half hour you are getting now is too important, and you should try another battery first.

ah well, sounds like an issue with the phones charging circuits then.
Before confirming as a harware issue just try this,
1. MTTY,
2. Flash to stock.
3. Check the battery issue with stock ROM.
have no clue how to work with mtty
same here
Hi similar things happens to my hd2. I try to charge it the entire day, and nothing happens, it goes only for 10-15% up, then after one call or two it goes down very quickly.

1. Just download the file.
2. Backup your data in device.
3. Switch off device. Put your device in bootloader by switching on your device holding your volume down key.
4. Connect to PC and wait for serial to become usb in device screen.
5. Run the file & follow the steps.
6. After restart, remove battery.
7. Connect in Bootloader again.
8. Flash Stock ROM.
Just in case, try reflashing HSPL. It matters sometimes

Seems to be
i noticed that when the phone is on charge, it is not charging. may be if i turn it off it would charge?
i think i solved my problem. when i looked at the phone's battery contacts,they were somehow positioned in a weird way. i fixed them with my fingers and now everything seems to be ok/.
As I remember the issue got started from my fault about wipping my battery state. my battery never charged to 100%.I tought I can solve this by wiping when it's fully charged(99%).so I charge my phone to 99% and wipped.but after that my charge percentage got wrong.for example it shows 50%,but it gets off bcoz of low battery.or I plug my charger when it's at 30%.it jumps to 90%rapidly.I have changed my rom.but no results.I tought maybe it's from relation of hardware(battery)and software(ROM) data.so I decide to try my idea.my idea was:wipe and format all things at recovery.draining battery to 0%(by entering the downloading mode and remaining to it untill phone gets off)then pluging it to charger and let it fully charged.and then odin and installing a ROM.but I have wiped and formated all ghings.but when I plug the charger now a battery icon appears on the screen,but it doesn't get green as it is charging.
Is it possible that it's not charging?
any other idea?
plz help me.

Try using an Battery Calibration app in the Play Store.
Also I think ChargeBar app uses the real battery stats instead of the displayed percentage.
tnx man for ur answer,But my problem is a little bigger than appears,U know I experience somethings strange,My device dead sometimes (not shut down,the screen get dark and not turning off notification appears)-just like pulling out battery-and I should turn it on again,but it's not over,it happens at specified times always,for example I write a very long sms,and wanna send,when I send the send button it turns off,Or I'm watching a full length video,and all things are OK,but it turns off when it finish(the exact time after ending),I really have no idea,what happen to it,I tough maybe it gone by formatting and wiping all things and installing a fresh stock rom,but I was not right
any help plz???
After booting into recovery, did you try to 'wipe battery stats' ?
tnx for ur help,nope my friend,I really have no idea why it doesn't charge to 100%,I've plunged it in last night for hours,charging percentage doesn't reach to 100%,it remains about 80%,so I can't wipe,I think when I have wiped and formatted all things battery state file is gone,am I right??
I have searched forums for the solution,it seems the only way is battery shocking,what do u think about this?
I have the same issue on my Asus TF300T after an update to the last firmware (JB 4.2.1). How did you solve your problem?
Hi. I have a very frustrating issue I hope someone can help with.
Over the last 3 days or so, my s2 has started to randomly shut itself down. It only appears to happen when I'm using an app, nothing specific, it can happen anytime.
The battery level has been anything from around 75% to 30%.
Sometimes when I turn it back on, the battery shows I am at 1 or 2 %, making me think it might be some kind of calibration problem, but I've tried the suggested method to no avail. I've also completely fresh installed the Rom I was on (neat Rom) and tried another (disaster Rom) but the problem remains.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing the random shut downs?
Thank you
Karf
Are you undervolting/ under clocking this can cause a sod
Hi. Nothing like that, just used neat Rom or disaster Rom as they come.

Your phone(battery) has insane gauge chip search for this it answer in your question(it's only for battery)
Happy new year
Paulius
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm not sure my issue is to do with the guage chip directly, as my phone will switch itself off at any battery level. The issue designed in the other thread its having something like 56% and then having a much lower value after an intended reboot.
Shutdown it's called sleep of death( scary name) but it not death it's just sleeping forever... it problem with your kernel and battery problem is insane gauge chip...
Happy new year
Paulius
I've just charged to full charge, unplugged - and within 2 minutes, the phone froze, could not do anything - so i pressed the power button until it went off, and it booted back up again without me doing anything - when it booted, it showed i had 2% battery. Then it did the same thing, froze, i had to reboot - then it showed 37% battery.........no idea what's going on apart from maybe a faulty battery...
Buy new battery. It was here on the forum a few times.
Yes. When phone hot(sometimes not) it take battery about 50-60%(I don't know exactly) but sometimes it add battery...
If you flash siyah kernel with stweaks(5 version) you can reset it but chip do funny thing even you reset...
Happy new year
Paulius
try Battery caliberation app ...
if it doesnt work buy a new battery
What are you talking about ? It's not battery Fault it's Insane Gauge Chip.... And Battery Calibration not helping...
I decided to go the whole hog and go back to a stock unrooted ICS, after wiping everything, then CFRoot - then reinstalled Neatrom light - currently restoring apps via Titanium - fingers crossed...
I think you don't have anymore BSOD But if you have flash Syiah kernel
Try new kernel and reset fuel gage
Try installing a new kernel like siyah or dorimanx and then reset your battery log this should resolve your problem if not buy a new battery.

I think I have a very similar issue. The randomly reboots happens several times a day, it does not happen though when charging (never). By now I'm on jb leak and still have the issue. When it shuts down, the sreen dims a bit and then it's gone, the weird thing is that often I have to pull the battery or charge the phone before reboot is possible, the battery shows different values after rebooting, sometimes close to what was before (especially when rebooting on charger), and sometimes way off the values before. I came initially from slimrom with siyah or dorimanx kernel, I really hoped jb leak would help (also tried different kernels), but it didn't. It also seems to me that it happens more often with the sd card (32gb) and without the phone seems more stable, but still it happens from tme to time. Once the screen dim (only one or two steps) and shut down even happend when in CWM recovery, is it maybe hardware related? It's very hard to find the source of the problem, anybody else experience similar issues? By the way the shutdown I have is not a proper shut down, the phone doesn't show the message "is shutting down".
I've completely wiped, used Odin to go back to ics stock, installed cfroot, then installed neatrom light. Had the same issue, so I've installed siyah, and used stweaks to reset the battery fuel gauge. I've only been off charge for 10 mins so far, but normally it would have shut down by now, so here's hoping...

Update - battery was at 89%, and the phone shut down, when rebooted, it showed 28%, then when plugging in while it was shut down, the battery icon showed about 50%. Like a previous reply, it never happens on charge, so it does appear that the battery is knackered, time to go shopping I guess :-\

I had the same problem - SOD several times a day. I change the batery with a fresh new samsung 2000 mA one.
Unfortunatelly SOD came back, but I found a trick: turn off WiFi. Use it only manually.
For the past 3 months I succeded to have 0 SOD's.
I know that manual WiFi is a setback but it works with those experiencing SOD.
Hope it will be usefull.
Hi everyone,
I have search in many topics and didn't find the answer of my problem.
It has starts with my Rom (Omega v19.1) which has suddenly decided to failed the com.android.phone process. After tried many issues, I finally decided to bring my phone back to old parameters : first flash siyah kernel then flash Criskelo-Servan V12 Rom.
But when I have flashed Siyah Kernel (using CWM), the Siyah logo was just "flashing", like blinking.
Few minutes after, the battery was fully empty. There was no way to restart the phone, even in Download mode which shows me the "Low battery. Can't Download" text. If i just plug the battery, it shows the battery logo fully empty with the ring (the same when your computer is lagging), which isn't turning.
By quiclky testing in a store with another GSII, Download mode was working, so my battery seems to be too weak to restart.
I have tried MichalAmrs method, it doesn't work, by plugging to a Computer or to the wall.
MichaelAmrs said:
Try this-
Take out the battery, then press and hold the ON button for 7-10 seconds (the longer the better). Reinsert the battery, then press ON button to start it. This is a soft reset, and wipes the temporary memory and empties all remaining power in the circuits. This helps on many phones and even laptops that won't start properly or show anything on screen.
If this does not work, try the next step. Again, do as above. But after inserting the battery, do not turn the phone on, but press and hold the ON button and the HOME button at the same time for 7-10 seconds. This is a hard reset, and works best if done after a soft reset. Just be sure the battery has at least some juice in it and isn't empty. If possible, try with another battery if this does not work.

Someone has an issue ? I thought that flash siyah kernel again using Download mode (with another battery) could solve my problem, but I am not sure it will brings the battery back.
Thanks for reading
i would try getting a new battery to see if the battery or phone is the problem
I would borrow the battery from that other SII for a minute and check if my batt is dead or the usb flex is busted.

Back again,
I have bought a new official battery (2000mAh).
When I plug my phone I can now see the charging logo during few minutes (before, I could just see it 20 seconds). But the phone still not charging, and the Download mode also give me the same message "low battery. Can't Download".
So ... what is the problem ? I know it's not very common ...

Hello I'm new here. Sorry if i broke any rules with regarding to posting threads. I have a xperia mini who can't operate without the charger. This happened last night when i calibrated my phone then it suddenly shuts down. I think i miss calibrated it that much that it reads my battery percentage as 0% even when the battery has some juice in it. Pleas help me guys I'm new on this kinds of stuff. Thanks

i dont understand your problem.... again, do this:
plug charger & boot phone.
install that app & load your device to 100% (or just for 1-2 hours)
open that app. (DONT REMOVE CHARGER!!!!!) then press on calibrate battery.
power off phone normally. NOW UNPLUG
try to turn on that phone.
also maybe your battery is dead. so need a new one....
Sir the phone needed to be connected to a charger before I power it up because if I power on the phone by itself it won't open

I think I encountered this kind of problem once. It happened when I swap my empty battery with a new one. Difference are, mine still manages to turn on without charger but battery meter shows almost empty (it actually had full juice) so the phone shuts down after homescreen. Try wiping dalvik, somehow it fixes the calibration for me.
Or look for DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown on xposed installer downloads.

then, if its full on 100% use the battery calibration app (leave it on charger). after using it, reboot via reboot menu. if the phone vibrates once, pull off charger. take out battery. put it in back & try to start the phone. if still not starting i think you have some HW damage... or maybe just battery dead but if you say its charging normally till 100% i guess its more a HW damage
