For some time it happens sometimes that what I'm reading or something else that I hear a beep and the battery suddenly turns red and then automatically turned off.
He is not on, I hang it on the charger will start it after some time, but the battery is not empty. Just gave this 55% when I hung it on the charger.
Any ideas what this is?
Run the phone until it shutdown of its own accord, then fully charge, till it says charged without unplugging at all.
This should straighten things out.

Are you using any app/widget for showing anything related to battery?
Similar thing happens to me but only below 10% when I used some apps/widgets, so strange that it happens to you at ~55%.
I use the battery ap of beautiful widgets.
I read the phone battery as those in state until it is full. Can I use the charger therefore out when it is full and has not launched yet?
do a battery calibration

The phone was freshly charged overnight. I was using the internet while listening to music through (3rd party) headset and since the 3G signal in the building was kinda ****ty I switched the phone to EDGE (GSM only). Then I quit the Settings menu and opened Firefox, tried to load a web page and at this point the phone froze. I'm not sure if I restarted it or it restarted on itself but after the boot the battery was showing about 40% less. So I turned the phone off, pulled the battery, rebooted, same reading.
I used the phone for a while after that and now it's showing critically low battery and I'm wondering what should I do now?
Is it really so low on battery or the reading is wrong?
Can 40% battery disappear just like that and what could cause it?
Should I charge the battery or let it discharge until it turns off by itself?
Battery screenshot attached.
Perhaps a battery calibration issue caused due to the crash, my advice would be to drain the battery all the way down to zero and let the phone turn off, remove and reinsert battery and proceed to charge till full and then turn the phone on again. Hopefully issue should be a one-off and now resolved.

happend to me before on my htc desire hd..battery pulled and battery stats dropped down the gutter..just let the battery die and charge fully or even just charge it up to 100% from where u at now..doesnt matter it will fix itself...
My phone was doing the same thing, it was rebooting or shutting down two or three times a day, usually a few minutes after taking off of charge.
I have sent it back for a replacement.
Do not drain the battery to zero. There is not reason to go belox 10% charge, as you could damage the battery if going to 0. These are new batteries much smarter then old ones.
You don't need to drain to zero but it won't do any harm if you do. Probably a wee softwre glitch. Wouldn't get too worried about it.
a good option is battery doctor - its a free aplication from the market...
let your battery go down to 20% and then open the app in charging mode...let it charge(dont close the app during the charging process, just keep it open)...woallla.. u have made a full cycle charge - easy as that...
I've been messing with my phone all night, setting up screens and what not and it just died. I plugged it into the charger and nothing for a few minutes and then the LED turned on and was white. It wouldn't start or go into charging mode. I removed the battery several times and left it out for several minutes. After leaving it plugged in for a few minutes, the LED turned green but still no startup or charging mode. After several more minutes, it finally went into charge mode and the LED turned orange and was 0%! Another 10 minutes and it was 15% and booted fine. I would think I should get warnings and if ignored, the phone would shutdown before completely draining the battery. Is there a setting somewhere I don't know about?
I don't know about any warnings...there is a battery icon on the upper right that I'd think would be fairly hard to miss? Red means charge asap. But if its completely dead, once you plug it in you have to wait a few mins for a charge to build up before you can turn it on.

Edit-
*actually just got a popup message saying i have 15% battery left.
I had an issue once where my photon got stuck at 80% and ended up dying with no error message because it wasn't reading the battery properly. I was able to see in the battery usage after I got it back on that it plateaued at 80% for quite a while. I haven't had the issue since then, but maybe you had something similar happen.

My battery indicator was stuck at 50% so it does sound like the same issue. I thought to myself "wow the battery life is much better than I thought". Guess some things are too good to be true.
Just for the record, I had a similar problem. My phone was reporting a charge of 100% but then I took out the battery, waited half a minute, and when I put it back it the phone said it only had 5% and had to charge it all the way back up!
Download Battery Monitor and put the widget on the home screen. See if its just the icon not updating or something more. I did notice once when it dropped "suddenly" but has not happened since.

I've had this for a while and used it quite a bit. I just noticed it can put the battery percentage in the notification bar and you can tell it to ignore the battery level the phone tells it and to calculate the battery to the nearest 1%! No more guessing what the actual battery level is!!!
Ever since around the time i downloaded a battery indictor to show the %age in the notifications, i have been having some odd experiences.
It says its 100% charged all the time but it runs down to 1% within and hour and stays on 1% for a few hours.
But a few days ago, things got worse, now it doesnt ever charge, i plug it in and it says discharging. I left it charging overnight but it never charged. I have to plug it in and out a couple of times before it actually charges. And im pretty sure the battery doesnt last as long anymore.
Anyone else have this problem? I deleted the app already, put device on and off, unrooted, problem still there
is this a faulty battery?
go on pc companion and repair the phone. If this still happens then send it sony most likely a hardware fault
Did you try resetting the battery by switching off the phone holding the volume up button for 5 secs ?? Its as same as pulling out your battery.
Good afternoon!
This happened to my sxs during the first charge, when it charged up to 53%, no matter how long I left it on the charger. This was fixed with a simple phone restart, and never happened again since then...

Yeah tried that and I think it fixed it but I still can't get it to charge, just found out that once it reaches 100%, it discharges but doesn't stop discharging at 95% but instead doesn't charge until flat

The best option is to send the phone back to Sony
There are always be bad phones like 1 of the 10000. Maybe this time it hit you..
I don't know if some of you have the same experience but here is my issue:
I usually charge my phone when I go to bed at night and unplug it in the morning. In the recent a few days, I woke up and found out my GS3 is 99% charged and battery status is still charging after an overnight. I have the Battery Indicator Pro app on it and it keeps the log of all the changes of the battery, so I went to the log and saw that the battery was full charged at e.g. 5:32AM at 100% and CHARGING status, then at 6:15AM it was 99% and CHARGING. So I turned off the phone, and leave it charging when its off and turned it back on after 15 minutes, after a while it showed as FULLY CHARGED at 100% .
I think it was very interesting and would like to know if it's the battery problem or the phone problem, if there is anyone have the same issue.
THANKS!!

I've had the same problem with taking my phone off the charger and found bump charging helps (remove the phone when at 100%, let it drop and then re-plug it in).
As for not charging to 100%, is there something keeping it awake? background process? Screen not shutting off? Sounds like something is keeping the phone from a sleep cycle.

My friend with a nexus s tells me that his phone fully charges at 96% so it saves that battery from over charging. idk if thats whats happening here.
I will try to explain my problem clearly and in a concise manner.
My battery started giving problem since a few days back.That time I had ICS in my phone.
My phone having enough battery gets shutdown in the middle of nowhere.
If i turn it on,it shows battery to be 0 or 1%.Then i used to set it on charging,and it used to work normally and battery starts getting charged from 1%.
On the other hand,if instead of turning up the phone and charging again,when i used to plug the charger in without turning on phone, my phone shows the correct battery percentage.And it starts charging normally.
To summarise-
My phone having enough battery gets shutdown in the middle of nowhere.If my phone gets off on 70% automatically,and if i plug the charger keeping the mobile off,it starts charging from 70%.But if I turn on the mobile and plug the charger,it starts charging from 0%
So this thing worked for a few days.After that my phone started turning off quite frequently.And I had to plug the charger everytime it turns off so as to turn it on again.
A couple of days back,I flashed cyanogenmod JB and siyah kernel.Since then it has been worse.
Now phone doesnt even last a minute even after full charging.It just shuts down as soon as I turn it on.I tried clearing battery stats.
I am unable to use my phone,its next to a dead phone.Please help !
What should I do to save my phone?
maybe its time to replace battery...

Are you sure battery needs to be replaced?
One more thing, after flashing JB, the battery percentage doesnt fluctuate as before.
It gets off at say 70%, and then it doesnt matter if i charge it keeping phone on or off,the charging starts at 70%.
Its just that the phone gets off for no reason as soon as it is turned on.
There is an app on market called My Battery Status, you can check your battery health with it.
