I have CleanROM GBE 1.6.5 (I understand it is not the *newest* release), I am S-ON with HTCDev unlock. I have not installed any new apps nor updated anything (every update is manual) since this has started happening, nor have my habits changed.
My stock 3.8v battery either will not charge, or will do so at such a slow pace it is beyond unreasonable. It has started yesterday and I can't figure it out...example - being on the wall charger or "AC" connection yesterday night/morning, it seems to have a negative charge, whereas my battery meter actually goes down at a substantial rate while on it. Yesterday, I woke up to a totally dead phone sitting on the charger.
When on a normal USB connection, it takes HOURS to charge. When I mean hours, it took 8 hours to go from 4% to 15%...and took 5-8 minutes to go from 15% to 7% while still plugged in from simple web browsing. The data connection was also off during this period (as well as WiFi)
At this time, I have it sitting on the AC charger, and it has gone from 6% to 3% in less than 15 minutes.
I don't understand how continuing my normal routine can cause my battery to appear like it has gone down the ****ter out of the blue.

So here's a new one on the Thunderbolt. I had my phone fully charged, switched it to 3G (as confirmed by the 3G icon on the task bar), and unplugged it last night. When I woke up this morning it was at 92% (about 6 hours later).
I immediately checked a few emails and popped on Facebook and the phone went to like 85% within minutes.
Driving to work the charger in the car only moved the battery meter about 3% to 88%.
I get to work and plug it into the USB in my laptop and literally within about 30 seconds to a minute, the battery went from 88% to 93% to 100%. WTH???
Anyone else seen anything like this and if so, any ideas?
Upgraded to KE7 yesterday using Odin.
Before going to bed around midnight, I had the phone connected to charger for a couple of hours, so the battery was fully charged at a hundred %.
Before turning in, I disconnected the charger, and disabled Wifi (generally battery life is worse on mobile data then Wifi, in my experience atleast). Around 8 am I woke and found the phone had switced itself off, completely drained. The phone that was fully charged, should've been on idle most of the time. I have 2 exchange account configured for Push, 1 F/book account, Whatsapp, Tango, NO live widgets. I think these are the main users of data/background processes. The phone had died in 8 hours, possibly less as I'm not sure exactly when it had switched off.
Put it back on charge again, left it charging for a few hours, around noon time, it was back up to a 100%, so, disconnected charger, now. 8 hours, 21 minutes later, the battery is sitting with 44% left, so, I would get circa 15 hours of usage on Wifi.
Under Wifi, 60% of the battery usage comes form Android OS...
Has anyone else noticed the same, iis there any fix for this... has Samsung fixed anything worthwhile in the jump from KE2 to KE7??

Hadn't quite figured what was causing pretty good battery in some circumstances and very poor in others. This would explain it and would be consistent with the stuff I was doing when I noticed the quickest drain.
Can't offer definitive proof, but certainly a very plausible working hypothesis. Solution anyone??

I think you should test it a few more times before concluding that it's due to mobile data vs wifi...?
I have just logged on to this forum to complain about the same issue! After KE7 battery has gone worse than before!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Boogweed,
Normally yes.. but I've always noted worse battery performance on gprs/3g than WiFi, which is why I tested the phone mobile data at night.
Its a recurring problem.

So I had my GS2 fully charged last night. At about 415am I played Game Dev Story for about 30mins and went to bed. I wake up this morning at around 1030 and find my phone completely dead. Obviously this freaks me out since I just got my phone and it should not be going from 100% -> 0% in 5 hours of being idle. Now maybe I didn't turn Game Dev off properly and it was running in the background? I don't know. I got this phone last Monday and this is the fastest it has died. (Even setting this one aside, I'm extremely disappointed in the battery life). Also, I plug it in to charge after I found it dead this morning and went back to sleep. Wake up 2 hours later at 12pm and see its only charged to about 40% and the phone is really hot.
Are these normal for the GS2? It didnt get hot during previous charges (atleast I didn't notice it getting hot). Also what is the average battery life for the S2 and how long does it usually take to charge from 0-100? For some reason I feel like there is something wrong with mine and I should be exchanging it but unfortunately I did root it so undoing the whole process will take some time since I'm still waiting for the jigg.
Normal charge time from zero to full 3-4 Hours via stock charger .
Excessive battery drain multiple posts on the problem .

I don't think anything is wrong with the battery. You can see the battery usage graph, and post if needed. And the device takes around 3 hrs 15 mins from 0 to 100% charge with AC charger.
Regards.
This morning went into battery saver to see the estimate of battery life when I unplug and noticed that the phone stopped charging at 96%. It was charging the whole night. Unplugged. Waited. Plugged it in again but it sat there at 96% and not charging any further.
I noticed the same after updating to latest firmware yesterday (11500). Though I still get more charge than before the update. But the last 4% wont charge for some reason although the battery indicator shows as full when the phone says its fully charged.
Probably not an issue, Samsung often do it on purpose.
I don't believe it's an issue either. At least I do not worry about it. It's just a number that doesn't impact the phones functionality.
I´m spanish, just in case you want to answer to me in castellano . I also had the same issue. When i charged it the second time, it reached 100 %, but full charge capacity lowered to 1380 mAh.
In that ocassion the battery was depleted in 11 hours with a high discharging rate. Strange thing is that today when I charged it for the third time discharge rate is low again, something around 120 mAh and the battery´s life expectancy is back again to normal (27 hours or so).
Anyway, the full capacity is still around 1380 mAh. I say around because the number changes by the day.
Saludos.
Yes, running 11500 and only noticed it today. The other day when I actually checked battery saver in the morning it was at 100% and 1 day 3 hours remaining with 1517 mAh full capacity ... today, as I mentioned, 96% and just 23 hours remaining at 1470 mAh full capacity. It appears that there is still something screwy with the battery. The phone does last longer than before however.
Had similar issues with HTC Desire back in the days when it wouldn't charge to 100% required full discharge or battery recalibration.
Now mine charges up to 100%. It was just the first charge after update that went up to 96% only.
The maximum charge capacity fluctates from time to time. Nothing to worry about it just does that I assume.
What is det estimatet time remaining after charging 100%?
Around 1 day and 15 hours.
I have the same issue! I left the phone charging the whole night, the morging after the battery charge indicator was 100%, but as soon as i un-plug the usb charging cable it fall back to 97%!
I suggest you to use the nokia diagnostic app to see the charging percentage of the battery, in my case is never up 97%. I think It's a WP7 bug...
The bug isn't that big.
I've had mine stuck on 45% for a while, that was really annoying
My appologies if this question has been answered somewhere else, I could not find any other threads with a similar situation.
My phone was dropped and ever since then it has not shown me the right battery level. It will charge on USB or AC up to 99% and stop. I connected it to AC power 30 hours ago and it never gave me the green light. This is after a full drain and then recharge. It did however stop charging at some point. I noticed no light was on, red or green, turned on the phone and my battery had gone from 99% to 41% in 22 minutes. I plugged it into USB and it appears to be charging back up. My widget now shows 84% with 4334mV (i dont know if this is right or not).
It is not an issue with the battery. My wife has the same phone and I swapped batteries. Mine works fine in her phone and I have the same problem with hers.
My other issue is that when I use the phone off the charger it will not show me the level accurately when it is draining battery. Example being, I unplug the phone at 99%, within 5 minutes I'm down to 92% (i know this is not unusual because of how the batteries charge). But, I will stay at 92% for hours and hours, with moderate use of internet, phone, and apps. Then it will fall from 92 to 60 ish in a few minutes and do the same thing. Sometimes it will tell me that I'm getting low (under 15%) other times it just turns off a second or two after the notification. If I plug in the phone and turn it on it shows me 1% and charges up to 99%.
In the few minutes I have been typing my phone charged up to 91% with 4336mV.
I was running ViperRom ICS when the issue started. Restored it back to Stock with no root and the issue remained. Now I am running Mean Rom ICS with the same issues.
I have cleared the battery cache in recovery too.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you kiss it. your phone will love you and it'll be all better. NOW KISS IT AND TELL YOUR PHONE YOU'RE SORRY FOR DROPPING IT! LOL!
Based on my experience with batteries of all kinds, it sounds like one of the cells may be damaged. Best bet is to get a new battery. They are decently cheap for a good one. Im actually looking for an extended unit myself. If you come across one, please PM me.
Thanks
That was my first thought but when I swap my battery with my wife's battery I have the same problem. Both batteries work fine in her phone but not in mine.
Sorry to bring this up again, my bad. But seriously you are not the only one with this issue.. I had the same problem since stock, swap battery didn't help either.
