Hello guys, I'm trying to figure our how much my battery can last on one charge, but I'm having a problem in the
Settings> battery,
Where it is supposed to show the usage.
Every time I charge the phone and plug it out, the graph doesn't reset back to 0 hours and just keeps on adding on the total time the phone is on. You can see in the graph the battery percentage keeps going up and down, I can't get it to reset on every time I unplug it from the charger, even by pressing refresh.
Is this a bug for me or is there a proper way to do it?

Hard to evaluate first part because only you know how intensive you use it. However, the bolded part concerns me. Could be a dud? Mine definitely gets warm especially here (check my location) but not hot by any means. Btw, do you have Infrared Thermometer by any chance?
Battery report only resets when your battery reach 90%+ and you unplug it

Look at the state of this. Batt crapping out on me?

I ordered a spare batt and now when i try to put the original one back in the phone does not boot unless i plug the charger in first then it works as normal. So every time i take the batt out i have to plug it in to the wall before i can use it? Pretty much destroys the point in why i got a spare battery

I dont know whats happening but provide the following details and someone here might be able to help.
- which ROM are you using? If stock then which region?
- since when did you start getting this problem?
- did this issue arise after you installed any application?
- did you always used the official smassung charger and battery?
Phone signal is draining out.. not to be negative but looks like you going to have a huge bill this month.

Looks like your phone crashed or froze during a period so it couldn't read the battery statistics.
Stock 2.3.4 from south east england always used default charger, not installed any new apps for weeks now. Happend after a crash followed by automatic restart. Random.

I have been having this problem with multiple roms. When my phone crashes and boots sometimes it comes up and tells me to connect to my charger and the battery is at less than 5%. If I reboot it, it comes back up normal. sometimes I have to reseat the battery.
I cleaned the battery connection and I haven't had any trouble yet.. but I haven't had any crashes since then either. I bought my phone on day one so I guess it could just be a bad battery? Anyone else seen this? In the pic you can see it happened twice.

Thanks you!

Bro, there are a lot of better ways to rack up your post count then spamming multiple threads with "Thanks you!"...
Anyways Dr.Stainedglove, I remember someone with a similar issue a while back. Turned out to be a battery issue. Not sure if that's what caused your issue but if the phone starts acting up again I would suggest you look into a new battery. You can get a 1800mAh batteries (400mAh bigger then our stock batteries) for pretty cheap. See here.
Sure looks like it

Thanks.. I may end up getting one of those epic batteries even if I dont have anymore issues. Since cleaning the connections its been working fine.
Hi I have a question, is normal that our devices eat so much battery, having the brightness in 0% ?

I think the battery statusbar is wrongly coded... I have the same results as well all the time.. Even when I don't using the screen (during night), the statusbar still shows up about 30% battery consumption...
The thing that affect battery drain the most is 3G mobile data communication in my opinion, because just turing it off, the phone got juiced up for more than 3 times as usual...

Not only turning off the 3g internet, but using for calls as well. that is why i started a discussion thread for that matter but no one seemed to respond to that. maybe it was too large to read??

Saw your thread, but I'm not that sure how I would comment or respond :X, as there doesn't seem to be any solution to fix it.
As per by 9pm my phone flashed up with 5% battery remaining so i put it down to try and make it last the rest of the night. I just went back to it now to find the battery was upto 8%. I know its hardly a big increase but it even shows up on the battery graph that it has increased, you can see that it hasn't been on charge.

Anyone else had this happen?

pretty sure it violates some law of physics for a battery to self charge :O
its probably a software glitch where the phone thinks it has used more battery than it actally has then it rechecks and realised it hadnt used that much.

Basically. The battery graph is more of a guess of how much you have left based on current usage. If you use it a lot it will think it has a lower battery percentage. When you stop using it it adjusts itself. It has to do with voltage going in and out and all of that technical crap but this is the gist of it.

Mine did the same a few days ago, I loled . I agree with josh
remove battery and it would sure be at 3% 4%....
Happens to me quire a bit but mostly on reboot or flashing. Battery can lose as much as 30% but leave it untouched and it starts to increase. As Josh said it can also happen due to intensive usage.

Ok so i've tried to calibrate my battery,
I let the phone run down to 0%, then i charged it to 100%, loaded up CWM and reset the battery stats in advanced menu, I then let the phone run down to 0% and charged again (done this twice). Yet my battery still seems to be draining a lot quicker than i thought it would, does this seem normal from the battery stats:

check ur network loss on that graph, its huge.. atleast 2 or 3 hours.. that consumes A LOT of battery..
That's correct, that big red no signal graph means a lot of battery being drained.
Have you been underground, like in a basement or metro station, or in a rural area, or did you leave the phone under your pillow while sleeping? You know, that kind of stuff.If not, then consider reflashing, that much of no signal bar it's not normal in my book.
That 2 - 3 hours loss would probably be when i was at work, it's inside a building that doesn't get a lot of signal but it was sitting right beside a network booster.
Probably also due to the fact that the network is Three and signal isn't too good around this area for it but im waiting on my unlock code coming from Three so i can move back to giffgaff
Off topic : You answered my thread yesterday stating that your bootloader unlock allowed status was no. May I ask how you've managed to install CWM recovery?
Sorry for going off topic
Kind Regards..
