I have faced a situation, I have never seen before. I'm running cm9 for some time now, on a p7500 16gb. Last night I turned the device off and the battery was at about 30%. Half an hour ago I tried to turn it on but the battery was drained. I connected to the charger and it showed an exclamation mark next to the battery and after 2-3 minutes started charging. It's running ok now but I want to ask whether you think my battery may be damaged somehow. I have callibrated my battery in the past and had uptime of about 9-10 hours of use. Really strange...

You may just need a new USB adapter/cable. Just in case , test by tweaking your UV/OV and OC settings.

Hi,
First of all o tried to serch something like that all day and didn't found, so, if anyone knows a topic about it with anwsers or some website, pls post it and close the topic.
So, yesterday i took my x10 with 67% battery and connected to the PC to charge and gone to sleep. I use a desktop and it was on all the time. But like 5 hours later, my phone was powered off and completely drained. It only flashed the red light 3 times when i tried to power up. So i connected again to the same computer without touching the pc. It started to blink the flash light for a while, then the light turned green. I waited a little and tried to turn it on. Again, it blinked 3 times and nothing. Connected again and some time later, the charging battery icon appeared, and it started to charge again, and i powered it on normally, and my battery was at 1%.
Even it got no recharge at all, with 67% on standby, my phone lasts almost 3 days, so only 2 options left: The pc is draining it, what i think its nonsense, since it never drain battery from nothing i connect, or theres a bug on the mod, or its a problem on the phone itself.
It's not the first time it happens, but never happen when i used the Miui mod or stock mod. Happen about 5 times already, only on cm mod.
What i already did:
- Reseted the battery stats when it was 100%, drained it until it turned off alone, charged again.
No more ideas.
I noticed something like that too few days ago..
Usually, when I want to charge it from a computer, I turn all the radio (wifi, 3G, sync, etc..) and let the phone charge and its working fine.
Don't know the reason though.
When your computer goes into sleep mode the phone doesnt charge anymore but its not supposed to eat 67% of battery neither ....

I was using Wolfbreak's ROM (v007) up until two days ago, and one of my biggest complaints was poor battery performance. Not sure if it's the ROM or the baseband (52), but when I was at work my battery would drain stupid-fast (100% to dead in 5-6 hours). Part of that I think was that I get poor reception in my office (typically around 99 dBa), but the battery didn't drain that poorly using the old FreeX10 ROM.
I'm now running Jerpelea's CM7.0.3, but still on BB52. So far battery use seems about the same as with Wolfbreak's, but I'm still trying to optimize my battery stats.
Ive used the last few versions of trips roms and on v008 now..battery drain is the only issue ive pretty consistently had with them. Im on bb54..
*wouldnt necessarily call it excessive tho*

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.

Im using Cyanogen Mod 10.1 build Jan 23 on my phone. Till recently (2 days specifically) my battery has started acting up. When i connect it to the wall charger it charges super slow. Also if I'm browsing or using the phone for an email or anything during charge the charge on the battery still drops. I also charged the phone using a blackberry charger same issue happens. The battery takes 6-8 hours to charge completely.
This also happened to me the first time i charged my phone when i got it. But it fixed itself after that.
It behaves the same when i switch off the phone and charge it.
Plz Help.

Sounds like a bad battery imo. You didn't turn down the charging rate in a custom kernel by anychance?
CM10 nightlies are still under DEV so you can expect a battery drain until stable versions comes out !!
Im using Stock Kernel on the device. No changes made to it or battery charge rate. Should I buy a new battery? Or can it be a hardware issue?
Like being said before CM10.1 is still in dev.
Try flashing back to stock and test.
Welcome to the baffled S3 charging issues thread....

I'm pretty certain it's not a ROM or a kernel issue. The same is happening to me.
My suspicions lie in the actual charging port and/or the battery. I don't have a spare battery to test. But this happens no matter what rom I use. It tends to be fine after a fresh ROM install or a fresh wipe. But it goes back to 'acting up' after some time.
For example, I left it at around 4% last night only to wake up to it at around 33%. Where before, it would fully charge after around ~4 hours or even less.
Another symptom is that when on wifi/data (whilst plugged in) the phone still drains and even faster so when it is actually downloading something.. This isn't your typical battery drain.
NOT a rom/kernel issue as some would like to suggest (for a "quick thanks" maybe...? ) as this isn't your usual battery drain.
Hey, I have an S2 (fairly old I know, but can't really change my phone right now :/). Since a few months back I started having problems like the phone shutting down at 12-15% battery left, reboots sometimes consumed 10-15% of the battery. So I bought a new battery but the problems continued.
Now leaving those problems aside, since a few weeks ago my phone started to discharge even thought it was connected to the charger, so I when to see a tech guy and he told me the charging port was loose so he fixed that apparently, bought a new charger after that but the problem persisted, the phone charges sometimes and sometimes doesn't and when it charges it takes hours to reach 100%.
Another thing it's that sometimes I left the phone charging at night and when I wake up the phone says it's 100% but when I take off the charger it drops down to 70-60%.
I'm using 5.1.1 so I thought it could be a ROM problem since Lollipop is a battery killer, I decided to change from Paranoid to CM but still the same story.
Now I'm trying to charge the phone while it's off and seems to be working, although very slowly.
I had the same problem with a Xperia X8, I've changed the battery and flash the stock ROM. Try to do this
My sgs2 GT-I9100 got a new battery because the original one got swollowen , but now it also has problems occurred Recently,
Phone flickers and goes completely off at 40%-50% ,
Wont turn on again unless i plug it in but then it shows 0%,
Happens all the time,
So I restarted the phone at 50% to see SUPRISE then it shows less than 5% battery !
But after 50% its sure phone will go off any sec.
Is there a fix other than going to another new battery again? Tried the Battery Calibration app By a XDA member too...
UPDATE: Got anew battery ( 2nd battery purchase within a month) but it seems to be the problem continues..
Used the battery with the charge it came with... 60% browsed the web...... reached 35%...... Turned off again
Thinking that it happens because of a miscalibration so used the above mentioned app and calibrated at 100% drained till 40% ( light gaming) Went off again....:crying:
Please Help this is urgent!!!!!:fingers-crossed:
UPDATE 1
Did a Reset of the device and charged it fully with the brand new battery (left for couple of hrs after 100%) and I eventually drained it to 50% and did a restart I was left with 10% after.... didn't fixed
I'll try my best to help. Had this problem with an old laptop battery. I just looked a bit around and found that there are several apps that show you the real mAh. SInce I haven't tested of them I won't recommend any.
Are your contacs all clean? Can you measure the output of the battery with a voltage meter?
EDIT: Found this a few posts lower " just reset the fuel gauge chip (rooted) and you are good to go!"
Update flashed a stock jellybean rom lets see what happens
