Don't worry, just relax.... put the battery back in and fix the back cover back on. Should work now!

No. I just turned the device on and off and that is what happened. If I put it on the charger it counts up from the lower figure. The only time it seams to notice something is wrong is when I use it and the battery figure either doesn't go down, or goes up, leading to a very amusing battery chart.

You may have to flash another rom . What rom are you on now???

You are probably using a kernel which uses the battery gauge chip instead of the inbuilt battery meter. This behaviour would be quite normal on such a setup. I am using Siyah kernel and the battery level always goes up when I don't use the phone for a while. Yes, the battery chart looks funny! The overall battery life is just fine anyway.

To fix the issue on Siyah Kernel, download ExTweaks off the play store, and then reset the fuel gauge chip.
Chris.

kernel?
what is your kernel?

I am using Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1[4.0.4] with the CM9 Kernel. But it was doing this before when I had Rooted Stock Rom. It may of been the Kernel in that case as well, but I have no idea what Kernel I was using at the time.

Try Siyah
Try with siyah kernel, is stable, faster and for me the battery life is very good

I will give it a shot after 1.9 Update. See if the update does anything. Thanks for the advice though.

Battery drainage

Everyday, I have my battery charged to 100% in the morning and i bring it to school. I leave my phone in my locker till 3:30 everyday but it every time i take it out, the battery is always drained from 50% and lower.
Should i get a new battery or somthing?

Is BT/Wifi on?
Low reception also causes battery draining.
Nope. and it doesnt happen at home when im also on the wifi..

I have noticed 3G draining battery much faster than wifi. And it will also depend on what applications are running. When you say your battery lasts longer on wifi, its good battery.

What ROM do you have?
Have you reconditioned/recalibrated?
Have you changed the default kernel from the ROM your using? if so, name the kernel
how
how do you reclaibrate..i am using simply arabic rom..i am using kernel 2.4.1
Omg this happened to me!
Im 14, exact same thing happened to me. Just last week though i broke my phone and htey sent me a new vibrant. The battery stays at 91% or more now after school doing nothing with it, when it used to be at like 40%. Maybe it's the new battery IDK, but a huge differance.

Almost everyone does it differently around here, this is what worked for me.
Full charge your battery, wait for it to drain (reach minimum 5% or better yet wait for the phone to turn off), now charge continuously for 100%. Unplug then plug the phone to the charger again (its not yet fully charged) after it reaches 100% this time boot into recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats.
Try the "spare parts" app, it tells which app is eating your power up.
thats exactly the same thing that happened to me.... so i'd recomend you to flash a new rom TRIGGER once you flash it download a kernel from the vibrant developement and its called TIGERS BLOOD and the rom comes with an app called BATTERY CALIBRATION and just lije they told you.. wait for your fone to be fully charged and open that app and theres goin to be a button that says START CALIBRATING and now when i go to school till i get out my fones battery life its only 73% and i play games in it so if i dudnt play games at all it'd be like 80% or 85% of battery life....

I reccomend a very easy fix which contains two parts. Recondition the battery usin battery calibration app in market. Do this at 0% and 100% be sure to let the phone fully charge and die with no interruption.
Next get setcpu from the market and set it to powersave. Those two things should leave you around 95% battery. ROM shouldnt matter as much with these settings. Also cut off your data, wifi, bluetooth, anything your not using.

Anybody NOT having battery jump issues on Gingerbread

Wondering if some people are not affected by battery jumping issues (defined as battery % available is higher after the reboot compared to before reboot).
As far as I can tell I'm not. Seems like a normal, steady decline with regular usage.

You are on Gingerbread, right? Can you reboot your phone and see if you have % continue where it left off.
I'm having battery issues as well. It jumps drastically after reboot. I'm on HKTW and I was wondering if the official gingerbread would fix this but I wasn't gonna waste my time if the battery issue still remained

It affects all Gingerbread versions from what I have read so far, so that's why I'm asking if somebody on Gingerbread is NOT having issue to find out what they did or do differently from rest of us not to have this issue. My battery just jumped after reboot from 26% to 89% available.
I'm on Kens GB 4.5.91 and battery works fine. I did use Battery Calibrate after install. I am actually getting better battery life too.

So you if you reboot your phone your new battery reading is continues from where you left off? I did all battery calibration things and none helped.

Ok. Had 50% before booting and now 80% after.
I've only rebooted once since jumping to stock gb. Then, I think I was somewhere around 60% at first then 90% after boot. I originally chalked that up to the battery calibrating itself as the battery was crappy after the upgrade and got better after the reboot. I'll keep a closer eye on it from reboot to reboot.

Well I take back what I previously stated. I guess I am having battery issues. I just rebooted and battery monitor jumped 14% after reboot however it showed a decrease in the Mv available (4039 to 3998). I was much happier thinking I had working phone lol

goofy battery anomaly

I'm on the cognition rom and just noticed that just under 50% battery it jumps to just less than 20% in an instant. Is this a battery issue that can be fixed by clearing battery stats? I'm not sure if this happened with the stock rom.

Sometimes the fuel gauge in GalaxyS phones wacks out. Try a battery pull - if it's still reporting low, it was falsely reporting high before most likely.
Clearing battery stats currently does nothing on our phone, similarly, it did nothing and can't do anything on first-gen GalaxyS devices.

Is this a software or hardware glitch? If a battery pull doesn't alleviate this than what can be done to fix it?
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk
I had something similar. I was at about 60% remaining, and needed to pull the battery due to the phone locking up. When it restarted, I only had 31% remaining.
This is on stuck unrooted.

Probably your battery is ruined, and I'm saying it being careful. I also had problems with my original one, they started small but with time they grew up and I had to change it. For me didn't matter calibration or removing the battery, it just got worse every week.
Dear friend, who testing battery from china, is very big mAh. Can we use phone on this one. Battery life really will be a bigger or not ?

If you do a calibration and doesn't work, change the battery with one identical (from a friend with SGSII, dont buy it =) ) doesn't work too... maybe is the charge center from the phone and is damaged; if is it, take your phone to technical support...
I hope you have warranty, and take off al modified ROM's and Root's things.

[Q] Battery calibration messed up my battery

Hi.
I used Battery Calibration from google play exactly as instructed. Since then, my battery is charging REALLY slow, or not at all. When I use my fully charged galaxy after its charged overnight(connected to a charger) it shows 100%, and when I disconnect it, the battery drops... To lets say 92%. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Prayer and alcohol.

Charge it till you're sure it's 100%, turn off your phone, take out the battery for a minute, put it back in and turn your phone back on.

It's not possible to 'calibrate' an SGS2 battery.
Do what Donnie suggested, and if that doesn't help, flash a kernel like Siyah which enables you to reset the fuel gauge from ExTweaks/similar app (you can do it from command line as well, if you search the Siyah discussion thread you'll probably find the exact commands).
If neither of those things work, your battery is on the way out. Buy a new one.
My battery (original) drains even wen the phone is off. First i tought that my battery was broken. I bought a new accu (original) but i got the same results. After about 8 hours ive got 15% less juice and the phone was off. What could this be?
