I noticed soon after unplugging from my AC outlet my Razr Maxx goes from 100% to 90%. Is it not getting a full charge after being plugged-in all night?
I am not rooted, so I can't reset battery stats using a battery calibrator app. Is there a way to fix this situation?
Dropping 1% gets you into 90% range. Not to worry.

It reads in 10% increments not 1%
DROID RAZR MAXX
Actually, using "battery circle" that reads 1% steps, i noticed these:
-When the phone says "charged", the battery is on 95%. You must leave it on charge for a few minutes to reach actual 100%.
-Dropping until 95%, you get 100% and above that it says 90%. Until 85% you get 90% and so on

The widget always did that for me as well. The circle battery widget is more accurate so go by that instead of the icon in the status bar

Can you tell me which particular circle battery widget you got off the Play Store?

Battery Notifier Pro gives 1% increments plus has several dowloadable themes.

After my phone charges to 100% it gets stuck at 100% and wont drain until I take it off the charger. I use spareparts to see voltage levels and it says its fully charged at 4.2 volts. After I take it off charge, battery drains rapidly to what I assume is the correct battery %. I was under the impression that battery levels go down to 96% then recharge back to 100% while pluggd in. I noticed these affects after several voltage lockups. I have tried wiping battery stats and multiple calibrationa but no cigar. Why is it that spareparts and other third party battery apps report full voltage and charge when it actually isnt while it is plugged into the wall. anyone deal with these issues?

mine stays at 100 for a while too.. But if you leave it for a long time it will say full.. Or at least it does on evil fascination.. Its probably bad battery stats.. Charge till full.. Power down.. Charge till full in power down state.. Unplug , plug back in.. Wait till full again.. then wipe battery stats in cwm.. Then use till it dies and recharge...

Last night I was have force close issues with a game so i did a soft reset(took battery out) and to my surprise it powered back on to 3% battery life. I lost over 60% battery life doing a soft rest.So i quiclky threw it on the charger and left it there all night. I woke up this morning afrer 8 hours of charging to only 28% battery life. I unplugged it and plugged it back in verified it was charging and took a shower and all that when I was finished and ready for work I looked at phone still charging and unplugged it and still only 28% battery life. Anybody else see this problem?
Try an actual reboot? Try to let the battery die and see what happens? Lastly did you try a hard reset?
Yes, I suspect the battery is not really down. Today I had the phone on charger, when I went to unplug I hit the button to wake up the phone and it said only 5% remaining and to plug it into the charger. I then unplugged and went into the battery widget and it said 99%, WTF. Once before it was fully charged, took it off the charger an in a minute or so it was dead, put it back on the charger and it took forever for it to get to 27% but as soon as it hit 29% it went straight to 100% instantly. I suspect the software.
There are a lot of people reporting similar battery issues. You might download battery monitor widget and put battery temps in the notifications bar because you might be having high battery temps, which can fry a battery. Some people have had batteries replaced but I'm not sure it isn't a general software issue with charging. Hopefully the upcoming update will take care if this.
Is there a good solution or quick way to see the actual % of the battery?
I always use battery life for accurate temp and % since the hero days

Are you running a custom rom? Might be a software issue when reporting the battery life. Could try a hard reset to verify.
How are you guys getting the battery to show in 1% increments?

There's various battery widgets on the market. I use batter monitor widget. It has a notificationbar display you can use without turning on the recording function.

Cool, thanks. I've been using battstatt pro and battery indicator pro and they just mimic the MoPho's displaying usage in 10's. I'll try the battery monitor widget.
Battery monitor widget was only showing in %10 increments for me.

Morning, I'm a Sprint Product Ambassador supporting the Launch of the Photon4G,
The app I'm using to monitor my battery in 1%'s is Battery Circle in the market by Adrian Ulrich, it is a taskbar widget so can be viewed in any screen.
You can also use Minimalistic Text to output an exact Battery % as well to place on the home screen or lock screen.

You have to turn on the 1% function in the settings.
I'm running pre-rooted GB and I sometimes notice that the battery icon shows charging when I unplugged it. And what's weird is that as the battery drains, the icons shows its charging from a lower and lower level. So if I wait to see when its at its lowest, I know how much battery it has Haha
Any body know how to fix it?

I'd like to know if there's a fix to this as well. Mine actually drains the battery super fast when this happens.
Has anyone run across this? Lately when using Battery Calibration app, as soon as I unplug from charger I drop from 100 to 96...( happens frequently now) is this just a sign my battery is getting weak?

Nope - that's actually the correct behavior for a well-calibrated and healthy battery. When you charge your phone disconnects the current when the battery is full, and for the next half hour or so it reads 100% but the battery is slowly discharging. This protocol preserves battery longevity. After a while it will top the battery off again. Long story short, 96% charge shortly after unplugging is perfectly normal.

thats funny, my device stays at 100 percent after I unplug it from the charger, then discharges normally. It never drops to 96%, sounds more like a kernel issue to me.

When still running Froyo my Fascinate always displayed 96%-100% upon disconnection after full charge, even if left overnight. After update to GB, the longer it remains on charger after reaching 100%, the lower it drops after disconnecting. Sometimes it's dropped from 100% to 76% as soon as charger is unplugged, if left on charger for too long.
I was informed on another forum that there's trouble with the trickle charge function on GB and it's likely not to be corrected.
Just thought I'd pass that on, for what it's worth.
the battery does that on purpose so it doesn't overcharge and decrease battery life.
in other news, google android people have said more than once that battery calibration does nothing, wiping battery stats will not help anything at all.

I normally Charge it while Battery Calibration is running, then when it hits 100%, I power off the phone and let it finish charging with the power off then onces its "Truly" fully charged I turn the phone back on get into Battery Calibration then press the calibrate button
What's the general consensus on this i.e. Google engineer basically debunking the necessity or benefits of calibrating one's battery?
http://tweakmydevice.com/2012/01/no-need-to-calibrate-android-battery/
Please take a look at this strange use of my battery.
it drops from 80% to 70% in 1ms .... 10% instantameamente simply get lost.
I'm using 4.0.4 ICS by motorola no custom rom.
Recalibrate yor battery.
I use this proccess:
0. Install Bootmenu or something that can remove battery stats
1. Use all battery and wait the phone shutdown
2. charge it to 100% and WAIT 1-2h more (The charger "auto" disconnects to avoid damage)
3. Enter bootmenu and wipe battery stats
4. Use the phone normally (try to use complete charger cycles)
4a. The % of the battery will be better after some cycles
Good luck!
It's okay man. There's no problem with your battery.
The ics graphic only presents a 10% increments discharge status.
If you razr went from 80% to 79% you'll get as a 80% to 70% representation in graphis. You're getting a nice battery life anyway.
