So I was given another factory HTC battery for my phone with an external wall charger for it, but when I fully charge my batteries with it and it the battery back in my phone, my phone only shows 87%. If ithrow my phone on the charger with the battery in,it will charge to 100% after the external charger says it was fully charged. I've tried letting them die all the way and charging them back up in my phone, tried wiping battery stats at 100%, and even tried taking the battery off of the charger the second the fully charged light turned on. But no matter what I do when I put the batteries in my phone, it says 87% lol. Both batteries do it, my old one and new one. Any suggestions?

Shot in the dark, but my battery meter on my phone routinely goes down on a restart. Maybe the act of booting up your phone causes the drain.
Or, maybe the charger is not fully charging them to preserve the battery.

Go into recovery and format battery stats. That should fix your problem.

I tried that man, and it didn't help. Maybe the external charger just can't fully charged the batteries

Hi everyone,
Im running cherryblur 1.4d obviously rooted and unlocked. I've been running it like this for over a month now and its been great but a week ago my phone stopped charging up to 100% when I let it charge overnight. It reaches 90% and stops. I have a charger that charges the phone and an extra battery at the same time and it has worked great since I got it and the only way to get the batteries to go to 100 is to take the batteries out of the phone and put 5hem to charge in the battery slot. Please help me guys. Its not the battery because I have another battery and it won't charge fully either. I'm going crazy with this I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything
Charge your phone to its fullest capacity (I guess that would be ~90 for you)
Wipe battery stats in recovery, reboot.
Let the battery drain completely, until the atrix shuts off. Watch a bunch of videos or something.
Recharge back to full capacity, hopefully 100%

You might also want to try charging the battery with the phone switched off, when it reaches 100% remove the battery and wait for the no battery icon to appear on the screen. Then re-insert the battery and leave to charge for another hour or so.
After doing this, boot into CWM and clear the battery stats. This should fix your problem.

Mine won't charge to full unless I'm using the charger that came with it, ALL other chargers stop at 95-98%.

Make sure the other chargers are kicking out at least 700ma the moto charger kicks out 850ma.
Any less than 700ma and you'll not get a full charge, a lot of 3rd party chargers only 500ma which will not work too well.

^ This. Most people don't realize that they can't use just any charger with some phones, this phone being one of them. It requires a certain amount of juice running through it to charge properly, which is why if it's dead it won't charge from a USB port.

Thank you guys I'm in the process of trying the first suggestion I'll see if it charges fully tonight
Also if you are swapping batteries, the battery stats will continuously get messed up. It will be trying to configure the two as one and that could make this a reoccurring problem for you

Oh that could be it as well because the second battery I got drains quickly (or it shows that way) and spends the other half of the battery life (8~10hrs) at 1%
Ok guys turning it off and charging fully and then unplugging and plugging again, and wiping battery stats after worked perfectly. Thank you!
For anyone who has this problem you can wipe battery stats with the battery calibrator program or in CWM and then you must drain the battery after wiping the stats.
So I usually use two extended batteries and swap them using an external charger.haven't charged my phone itself in a while.
The last two times I came to user the original battery after full charges, it only shows up as 83% even though the charger shows a green light.
I know the enlightened battery uses 2% to power up this sucker, does the original use up 13% or is three something wrong with the battery? Not using ICS either just Nils GB.

I haven't tried charging my original battery in an external charger yet. Though I'll look into testing my 2 extended batteries vs. the original to see what the phone tells me.
My extended batteries are both 3.7 volt and my stock phone battery is a 3.8 volt.
Doesn't sound normal, however. I expect the power up to suck 1 or 2 percent of power from a battery not 13 percent.
yeah, so everytime I take it off the external charger and turn on the phone it goes to 83% but if I remove the battery in the middle of the day and restart the phone it just goes down 1%. I can fully charge the battery in the phone though.
I am stumped.

Is your phone rooted? If it is you can use battery monitor apps to analyze your batteries from 0 - 100 percent charge and correctly monitor and adjust charging through your phone.
It has something to do with the fact that the original batteries for the Rezound are 3.8 volt. This slightly increases the capacity for these but also confuses the hell out of the charging circuits that are either in the battery or in the phone itself so it never fully charges correctly. The phone is misreading the battery capacity so once it hits a certain voltage it stops charging and displays a green led.
Don't quote me, but this is what it sounds like to my limited knowledge of such things.
Try charging your battery in your phone while it is off and see if it charges fully.
From yesterday I have been seeing some major battery charging issues with my S3.
Battery drained in evening, came home and connected it to charger for 3 hours and saw battery was just 8%. I removed the battery and put it back and left it for whole night charging. Woke up and saw (after 8+ hours) 22% charged.
Now that's a serious issue. What else can be done now? Is my adapter not working? or that mini dock? or something else?
Samsung disappointed.
Try reboot. Could be a rogue app constantly pushing your CPU. If it does not charge faster, try shut the phone off at a percentage you know, charge a hour and boot it up. Should have charged at least 40% in that time.

When the battery drained. The phone was switched off. Charged for 3 hours and it was just 8%. And yes, I rebooted my phone twice. and removed the battery too.

Try wiping battery stats in cwm?
or
use a different cable/plug
There are quite a few faulty wall chargers around. Mine was totally dead others work only sometimes... Maybe try charging @pc or with a different adapter.
Due to the software update via Kies, Root access and CWM was lost. Will use a different adapter...
Now it's being charged via my laptop (very slow though) but adapter was not doing anything except just showing the red LED light. :/
I think I have to change the adapter.
It's the adapter which is not working. Charged from Galaxy S2's charger. Have to get it replaced from samsung service center.
Hello. I've been charging my phone the whole night and it only got to 94%. After I restarted the phone, the battery was at 81%. Does anyone knows what's wrong? Thanks.

A little more info would be nice. What rom are you using? Do you have root permissions? Are you s-off?
The first solution is:
On OVO 3D sometime if battery is charged to 100% he starts to use battery power instead of charger so if the light is green you need just to connect the charger again and it will start to charge again.
And the second:
After you installed some kind of ROM you need to calibrate the battery again. You can do by discharging your phone to 3-5% and then charge it to the full. You need to repeat this process few time and then you have calibrated battery.
Sorry but i forget to say that before recharging you need to delete old Battery stats

The first thing is correct. When the phone is fully charged the charging stops and the phone uses power from the battery.
As for your second statement - you are partly right. Even though most developers say the same thing you said I found the battery calibration is the best way to get the most from your battery. I tried everything that developers suggested and it didn´t work so well. Battery calibration did the trick - now my battery life is great
Anker batteries seem to work the best
Hey. Thanks for the replies. I'm using the 4EXT recovery and KingCobra3D - ICS 1.6 ROM. The thing is that my phone doesn't even charge up to 100%. Is it necessary to discharge the phone to 1-5% and then charge it to full and then calibrate via recovery or can I just calibrate the battery without having to discharge it first?
Also, I have root on my phone and S-ON.
My anker battery has reported like 4000 charge since I got it and I tried using the calibrate app but it still reports the same after a few cycles? It should be reporting 1900.

If you don´t use battery calibration you should go into recovery and wipe battery stats. Then boot up and fully charge the phone and let it discharge to 5-15%. Charge it to full and that should be it.
If you use battery calibration just charge to full, enter calibration app, hit calibrate and that is it

Okay the phone charged up to 100% but it took ages. I've downloaded the Battery Calibration app from the Market and hopefully everything's gonna be well now.
I have battery life issue too. I will try battery calibration.
I've been having a really strange battery problem. I will have between 50% to 80% battery life. I will open facebook, either the app or through the browser, scroll down post for 1 to 2 minutes. Phone will say "You are now on emergency power please plug in to charge phone immediately", and then the phone will shut down. I plug in to charger I will be at 8% to 12% and charging. Leave on charger for 5 minutes will be up to about 16%, disconnect charger and reboot, phone will reboot and be back at 60% to 70%. Last night it would do nothing when I put on charger. Pulled battery, and rebooted, back to 70%. I'm unlocked, rooted, s-off, running Tachyon 1.2, I have the extended battery. Any ideas on what is causing this?

I could be that your battery is just shot. The first thing I would try is resetting the battery stats with an app like Battery Calibration and see if that helps. Other than that, try a Sense Rom and see if it correctly reads the battery stats. If that doesn't work, try a different battery.
Thanks, I tried the battery calibration last night, seems like it has made a difference so far, My battery is also getting some age on it, so I'm going to get a new one, just in case.
