I charged my phone during the night to 100% and used it for a bit this morning. I went to the beach for the day, and left my phone at home. Upon returning (roughly 5 hours later) my screen was stuck on the ATT splash.
I looked at my battery usage to see if anything strange had happened, and I was greeted with the attached image.
I am currently running stock ICS 4.0.3 from ATT. Rooted with Kernal version 3.0.35-Siyah-v3.4.2. I do have a lot of widgets on my home screen, but I have had this same setup for more than 2 weeks and nothing like this has ever happened before.
Pleas let me know if you need any more details. Any and all help is appreciated.

Download batery calibration app from market, charge until you get 4200mv, disconnect charge, calibrate then after succesful calibrate restart phone then dont shutdown until you get force shutdown.
If you cant get 4200mv, wait to the highest value then calibrate
Anyway your signals are very low, it will be drain battery rly fast, try make them highet and keep wifi shutdown

Why does low signal strength quickly discharge the battery? Also does this explain for the gaps in the battery info or is it something else?
Our phones do not require battery calibration. Have you installed betterbatterystats, and watchdog? If not, install them and see if it happens again. I can tell you that it's not the official update that's the problem, as I had it installed for a few days. Almost gotta be a rogue app. You could also try switching kernels just to see if it helps.

Thanks but again, whats going on? If I have been using the same setup for more than 2 weeks, shouldn't an occurrence like this have already happened?
I had a similar incident today running stock 4.0.3. no root. Phone went black. Once I noticed it, I restarted it which it didn't want to do at first. Went to the battery stats and it looks similar to yours. Battery level showed about a 50% drop. Never had that happen before.
Well I am going to try the first suggestion and see if that helps. I'll report back later.
It seemed that the first option worked pretty well. I let my phone sit for 8hrs today, and the battery only discharged to 87%.

Probably kuz it didn't reboot. It looks like your phone rebooted quite a few times for whatever reason, back to back, possibly got stuck in some boot loops too. Id call it a fluke unless it happens again.
And there is no "calibrating" our battery. If you reboot at lower capacities it'll come back substantially lower and then correct itself slowly over time. Its just how our meter works (voltage reading vs mah counter)

Is anyone else having issues with this phone loosing around 20% to 30 % after a restart. It doesn't happen everytime but sometimes when the phone is turned off and on the battery drops from, for example , 50% to 30%. I had this issue with official roms and unofficial roms.
Hi mali019, this happen to me as well, i'm not sure this is cause by the battery itself or the phone itself. My phone will auto restart when the battery usage is @ 4x percent. After itself restarting. The battery will drop to 33 percent every time. I'm swapping a battery with a fren of mine and started testing today. I'm using KG6 roms.
never had that problem...
Do you guys quit apps or just press the home button? Use the in-built task manager, it's good.
I don't use taskmanagers. Only use the one that comes with the phone. This problem happend on every rom i tried. From 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 . I'm gonna buy the new 2000mah and see if it happens again.
Just now i pulled out the battery without turning the phone off and battery percentage dropped from 41% to 22% . Currently I'm using KG6

Isn't that what I've said?
Anyway, you can try installing Watchdog from Market to see if you have apps misbehaving and what is using you cpu.

The problem is not an app using the battery. The problem is the phone loosing 20-30 % percent battery after a restart. The phone is not displaying the correct battery percentage.
I even had the battery percentage increasing after a restart without being pluged in to a power point. For example I'll restart the phone for any reason with a battery percentage off 50%. After the restart the battery percentage will show 23%. Sometimes the percentage will increase like its on charge. It will go up to 30%.
Never had this problem better get checked the battery in Samsung service center
Said that because it happened to me that if the phone gets hot, percentage drops. Later, it returns to a higher percentage.
I was experiencing the auto restart and instant battery drain issue while using ninphetamine 2.1.x
After changing to other kernel. No more auto restart nor instant battery drain issue.
You might need to a battery calibration.
I got a new battery ( Perks of working at a phone shop ) hopefully it will fix the issue
I also notice that it takes quit some% after each restart but not 20%. Actually the battery was good when I first got this phone. But after 175 apps installed, battery isn't good anymore.

Moving to Q&A
Today I left my phone in my room and after an hour I wanted to check my emails before going to bed the screen did not turn on so even after a long press on the power button, so I removed the battery (it was ice cold) after replugging it booted and voila there was a huge drop 50 percent perhaps? So I said to myself, I think I left a resource intensive app running and forgot about it and went to bed without plugging the charger, 3 hours later I wake up thinking it would give me a critical or charge your phone dialog, but instead I have a battery that charges itself ...
Now in reality that would be cool but i think there is a problem. Using the ninphetamine 2.0.4 kernel for a few days for bln but it was disabled, stock rom.
I have attached two screenshots one taken right after and the other one 3 hours or so after.
I don't think that I would need a recalibration after a few charges the phone is not a week old.

I experienced same problem - I was browsing, then phone restarts itself and the battery is instantly on 18% (from 50%).
And then started to recharge itself.
Stock 2.3.4 ROM (version XWKH4), running the same configuration for nearly two months now, with only few restarts (once in 20 days), no new app installed recently.
Maybe some glitch in internal electronic?
Same problem, just a bit more drastic. My phone seems to freeze, in which I have to manually restart it. And then I see the battery falls sharply. This is on stock Firmware (unrooted) too.
Anyone know how I can get my battery back to charging to 100%? I flashed nuetrino yesturday and had to restore my backup, now my phone wont charge past 78% even though it still says charging.

This will definitely fix the problem, but only temporarily. Next time it drains down and I try to charge it up again, it stops at 80-85%. But when you look at the battery stats, it shows 4200.
I've tried wiping the battery stats, applying the Juggernaut fix, following the steps in the ultimate batttery guide -- still have the problem. I even switched back from CM7 to stock ROM and can't seem to shake this issue.
Just totally kill it and then recharge it fully.
Thats what I do whenever I get this problem.

I am having the same problem since updating to gingerbread. Will try deleting files above. First time I´ve seen that advice.
Just an update. Temporary fix for me only. Phone still charges only to 60% after a recharge.tried everything so far with no results.
I switched from the ics mod cm7 to nuetrino and also drained it fully. It now charges to around 93ish%, but my phone normally charges to only about 95-97% even when it was on stock.

this method works to set your current level to 100% or 99%. just did it with 67% remaining and rebooted to see 99% battery. tried wiping batt stats and plugging in without booting but it still saw the batt as full.
luckily i was just experimenting so i had backed up all three of those files and restored them and was back to 67% after reboot. so i'm charging it to the max my phone sees now (87%) and then deleting the files to set that as the new 100%.

Let me know if it sticks after a full discharge and recharge. I deleted the files while i was at 100%, maybe if should have done it while stuck at 60%.

I also just deleted the files, i had a full charge (showing 93% (and thats been the highest in weeks!)), i will post back my findings as well
~~~EDIT~~~
4 hours later, full brightness and no screen timout, i am down to 1%.... just waiting for the phone to turn off. i want to post my results so you guys can see when you come on next... the longest part now is going to be the full 100% charge, which i have not had in weeks.... fingers crossed!
~~~EDIT 2~~~
Well I have been stuck at 93% for the last 30 minutes or so. looks like if you let the phone go dead or power down, it reverts back, or there is something else causing. this issue
It seems to me deleting those files results the same as removing the battery while charging and placing in back.both tips gets you back to 100% but only temporarily for some of us. After a discharge it will not charge to 100%, just as before. I have no idea what is causing it, but my phone battery is about to die from overcharging. like everyone else, it started after a flash.but for some reason it is permanent for some users. Will be getting a new phone if I cannot solve the problem. If anyone had any insights feel welcome to contribute.
ya... after leaving it charge overnight, mine is only at 94%.... so this is only a temp, VERY ttemp fix.
i was thinking the other day, my dad has an Atrix also, his is BONE stock. i was thinking about switching batteries for a day and see what happens.... what do ya think?

Worth a try, I was going to buy a new battery to see if it solves it. from what I have read it is a problem with motorola battery driver and gingerbread. Let us know how it went. Maybe a new battery somehow resets it back into working.

well.... JUST found out that he had his phone on charge all night and guess what.... STUCK AT 90%!!! He has a BONE STOCK, no rom, no root, no nothing, OUT OF THE BOX, Atrix. So thats a twist in this issue. he said he took his battery out with the phone off and when he put it back in, it was 100%. he just told me that the other day it went to 80% charge.
I have had my White AT&T Note for about a week. It is running Saurom RCV with the HoloNote kernel OCed to 1782mHz. I am having a really weird battery issue where it will drain to about 5% in a couple of hours regardless of what I am doing to it, then that 5% will last the rest of the day but the phone, thinking the battery is about to die, wont let me do anything (ie. listen to music or take a picture). Then, yesterday it started not charging all the way, it will stop at about 94% and then the notification that its fully charged will come up. No matter what I do it will not go past 94%. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
have you try to recalibrate your battery stats through CWM?
try that first........charge your battery to full......clear stats....drain all the battery...then recharge to full......that should help you with ur problem
First take the battery out and make sure you don't see anything on the contacts (phone or battery). Then leave the phone on until it dies on its own - easiest if you use something that will keep the screen on. Then charge overnight, unplug, replug and let it charge again until it stops. Turn it on, go through your day and report back.
I have tired both of your suggestions. I left it streaming a movie from Netflix and it took two movies at full brightness (or as full as it would let me) to kill off the last 5%. I apologize as I should have specified that I am posting on here having already tried conventional calibration techniques. Also, the stopping at 94% only started AFTER I used CWM to reset the battery stats.

I've never used CWM. Have you tried using it again?
I have noticed another "quirk", it seems that when my phone is sleeping for a long period of time, more than an hour, it will usually display more percentage than when I set it down. For instance I decided not to charge it last night as I was hoping it would die in the night however when I got up this morning it read 51% whereas it was at 26% when I left it. I am starting to think that there is something wrong with the hardware. Opinions?

I didn't nitice this till last Tuesday. I forgot to charge my note the night before, and when I woke up I had 19% left. Around 10am I received a notification that my battery is critically low. I wasn't going home till 12, and I was texting heavily for 2 hours through whatsapp on 4g network, and nothing, the phone didn't turn off. I got home and plugged it in while it was still on. The only thing the phone did was turn down the brightness completely, im not sure if that 's the reason for the extra 2 hours, but that seems too much. Before i plugged in the phone it had 23 hours on battery with 4 hours 44 mins screen on time.

Has anybody experienced any of these issues on a stock note? Also, I tend to agree, if Samsung had really figured out a way to make the end of the battery last that long we probably wouldn't be having this issue.

Having issues with roms lately. Some roms won't even give me 2 hours of battery life. (Maybe 4 hours even in standby!!)
Talked to Motorola over the phone they think maybe it's the battery, they sent me a free one but I still have the same issues.
Sometimes I look at my phone and it has already been drained. Then I see that standby has taken up 75% of the battery. Like wtf lol.
So the question is, what is the best ROM for battery life?
Thanks.
Neutrino v2.9
Make sure you install bluesleep fix if the rom you are using doesn't have it....
For me the best results have: "old" ALIEN and CM7 !!!
CM7 - 1day and 27minutes with 7hours and 28minutes screen on (30-35% luminoziti)
Sorry for english!
Atrix - "CM7"
Seeing as it happens with every ROM, you may try to calibrate your battery, it may help. Download 'Battery Calibration' app from the Play Store and follow the in-app instructions. I always calibrate mine after changing ROMs exactly because problems like yours happened to me in the past.

But it helps. If I don't do it, after 2~3 flashes of different ROMs I start to have huge drops (staying at ~80% for 6 hours, then instantly dropping to 20%) or the system misreads the actual battery capacity (turning off with at least 30% battery remaining, for example).
Have you tried wiping battery stats?...
Charge the phone as far as it will go (lets say over night)(also if you need to plug the phone into the charger after it has charged over night without the battery in it so you get he battery with a question mark, then put the battery in and it should show like 5% battery or something then let that charge as long as it will, which is usually around 15% if i remember correctly), then wipe battery stats in cwm or whatever way you prefer. Reboot the phone and use it until it is completely dead (0% battery and the phone shuts itself off and wont turn back on, but do not try to drain the battery using video loops or anything, just use it like you normally do. Then charge it up to 100% but do not turn it on, let it stay on the charging screen until it gets to 100% and dont use or unplug it at all. It should take longer to get from 99% to 100%, just be patient Hopefully that solves the issue.
Hi, I've got a quite common problem - battery drain. I'm not such a noob, so I understand the way how the battery drain works (I mean why does it happen). It happened after changing the sim card. My sim card stopped working at some moment, so I decided to change it. After that I noticed that my Droid does not turn on. I plugged it into a charger, it got charged normally to 100%. But the battery is draining now constantly. I Changed rom, I wiped all the data, I did even restore backup from march, when the device was 100% functional.
I'm afraid I can not have a replacement as it is rooted, and a repair is almost impossible (I live in Poland).
Any ideas? Maybe someone had similar issue?
PS I got smthing like 10h of standby. That sucks.
PPS It seems that the battery alone is ok, as the phone is heating (so it means that there is energy stored inside)
Have you tried calibrating the battery?

Battery is calibrated. The problem is not here. The problem is that battery is drained and it seems that there are not many things left that could cause the drain. Please stop posting as I can see that you are not giving any new ideas.
your battery may be just degrading all of a sudden. does it die incredibly fast if you leave your phone in safe mode all day?
Yes, I tried safe mode, without success. It doesn't seem that battery is degrading, as the phone heats up (so the battery must have energy inside)

What temps we talking? Try temp monitor app also of its discharging improperly it will heat up. Get a app like gsam and have it record what rate it's discharging at, sounds like a bad bat though to be honest. EDIT just noticed your rooted. And that you don't want to replace because of jag options. I suggest of your up to it to open the phone and disconnect the battery for a while. Couldn't hurt.

nope. No effect
1. What rom, kernel, recovery, and radio are you using?
2. I understand you charged to 100 and then let drain to zero, but did you reset your battery stats in recovery?
3. Do you have GSam installed?
1. Tried Supercharged, stock dna, hatka supreme (or something like that),
recovery: CWM
kernels: Blackout, crampler
Radio: the new one xD (The one that came with v2.04)
2. I charged to 100 and drained. During that I changed roms, did factory reset etc.
3. Nope, I've used (and still use) wakelock detector. The GSam seems to provide less data.
After all these weeks the problem is still present. I hope someone can help.
A Suggestuions:
Try an older microusb lead and slow charge from a usb 2 port, sometimes a battery has trouble with a charge sticking - try slow things down and slow charge the phone see if that helps.
I tried even the netbook usb port (350mah), still no luck.

but did you try it when the phone was at 0% and make sure your not using the fast ports, also try slowing it down further if you have any dvd players etc they will only push out around 100 to 200 mah may be worth trying.
Bar that i think the battery is naffed, i would say underclock but if you have tried safe mode its safe to assume itts not going to help..
The only other thing i have heard of but never tried is to keep drain the phone completely and then charge constanly by mains for 2-3 days. if you have tried everything else may be worth a shot.
What app or apps are draining the battery and how much time does it take?
There are no apps draining. The most impact (htc battery app) has got phone idle and wifi. After turning off wifi nothing happens, taking out the sim or turning on airplane mode does not help either
