Hi guys,
I charged my phone to 100%. After I was heavily using it, browsing, going on twitter, etc. And I notice the battery only dropped to 99% while I was using it. It should of at least dropped to 95%.. But when I locked the phone, I waited a minute and unlocked it again then I see the percentage is 92%... Is this normal? I never experienced this before..
I am on stock LFB. I did not root or install any custom roms yet.
Yh I think it's normal. On stock Rom. I stand to be corrected but I think it's not very accurate. There's a mod for it I think. Might need root access. But then u may aswell flash cm10

Anyone else have these issues?
it has never happened to me. Did you flash some rom(s) before this happened?

Nope was always on stock.
I think it is normal. It happens to me as well. Only while using battery intensive apps like gps. While using gps, my battery percentage did not change at all for the 20 minutes of usage. Then all of sudden it dropped by 15%.

You think its a software issue or hardware issue? Could be the battery?
Does it make any difference what charger I am using? I live in Canada and I can't use the charger it came with since it is an international charger.
I used my old iPhone charger instead to charge it.
I also have this issue.
my battery stays stuck at 100% for quite some time, then again at around 20% or so.

Ok, so have voodoo odex uvjl4 froyo rom installed and my battery seems to be draining at crazy speeds. I charged the battery to a 100% then with in 3 hours it dropped to 18% and that's with only like 30 mins of use. Tried Reconditioning the battery and clearing the battery cache but its still draining hella fast. Wtf is going on. This can't be normal. No wifi or GPS on.and only a few Widgets used. Also screen brightness is on the lowest setting. Any ideas? Thanks a million!

Try stopping some services in the settings/applications/running services. Or if you titanium backup pro, freeze some of the apps that are running in the background.

Checked that! Nothing extra is really running. Maybe its my voodoo or rom. At this rate I'm going to have to charge it 4 or 5 times a day! Seems to be dropping about 2% every few mins. Crazy :'(

If problem is there, your choosing the wrong rom.
Try odining back to stock. That's battery usage I've never seen before.

Is the phone getting very hot? Are you experiencing glitches, crashiness or freezes?
Battery drain that severe sounds like a hardware issue.
how long have you been using that rom?

Phone gets pretty hot but only if I use it while its charging. And seems to take like 2 or more hours for the phone to completely charge.

The phone would be getting very hot with that kind of battery drain.
Maybe your battery is fried?
I'd try buying a cheap external (stand-alone) charger and putting a full charge into with that, then immediately wipe your stats upon reboot and see if it goes away.
I suspect phones can't correctly charge your battery full if the stats are seriously hosed to begin with, and even when you wipe the file it seems to assume the battery is 100% full to begin with (which means if it's super low, recharge still won't work) so I wonder if you might never actually be getting a full charge. But that's just wild-ass speculation on my part.
I'm experiencing this exact same thing. To the OP..are you still have the same issue or were you able to resolve it?
I have a strange problem with my Xperia s.
Charging used to take ages. But all of a sudden charging from 4% to 100% only takes around an hour. Really strange but I didn't mind since everything seemed to be fine.
But a few days ago I used my phone while charging and I noticed it "skips" while charging. Like, it's at 20% and suddenly says 40%.
Now when I use my phone, everything is okay till it goes down to 16%. It will say 1% and suddenly shut down. When I plug in the charger, it will start again at 17%.
I tried a software reset with seus and battery calibration, both things didn't help.
What could be causing this? What else could I try?

Now we are getting somewhere.
I am using the charger that came with my Xperia ray since I lost the Xperia s one. They have the same output (5 v / 1 a) so I thought it was fine.
Cable is the original s one.
I already tried wiping the battery stats, didn't help.

ok well do you use any ROMS? or do you use stock
if you used a ROM and flashed it not so long ago under 24 hours

Need a bit more info please...
What rom/kernel...baseband, and carrier..
Also, are you charging with the phone in use, or is it turned off...
Also, are you overclocked, overvolted ??
and are you using the stock charger and cable ??
thanks in advance....g
Gubment cheese ROM. Stock charger/cable. No oc or UV. And the last charge was while sleeping. Went to bed at 46% woke up 6 hrs later at 89% and that is with the kernel that is included with ROM

A bit slower than normal, but if coming to this rom fresh, it needs a few days to "settle"...
My math shows this:
89% - end charge
minus
46 %- start charge
= 43% charge
divided by 6 hours, = 7.16 % per hour.
Better than my build gets right now....with a stock battery...(using CM9 stable today).....
Watch it for a few more days and monitor the charge rate. I'm not ruling out a problem with battery either, but considering the fact that your last build was better, the battery should be fine.
But honestly, once the stats get built and the rom settles in, you will likely see an increase in charging rate, and a decrease in discharge time.
The symptoms your having are not uncommon after flashing a new build.
Also, have you verified your wireless connections ?..I.E.is the device attempting to access wifi, or roam on wireless bands ?
Often times this causes rapid battery drain....
Thats my .02 at the moment brother......g
And I appreciate that!! I don't use WiFi. And most of the time I'm just on 4g. Always have good 4g connection at home. With nothing running background. I'll give it a few days though and see what happens!! Thanks broth a!!

Do report back with the charge percentages after a few days....it's good info for the rom threads...
thank you....g
I know its only been a few hours. Just got home from work after heavy use at work, threw it on the charger at 23% and went for a smoke before bed. Got back and already 28% I'd say that's on hell of an improvement from this morning!! I don't know why. But i be had this ROM running great for a few days. Then all the sudden slow charging. But now its fine. I really appreciate all the help!!!

Happened to me when i went from TW to AOKP. I was stuck at 19% for hr and than when I restored back to TW it started charging normal again.
May be some files left over from one rom causing the slow down.
About to try the avatar rom again and see if it's still going on.

Very possible ....
I always wipe the EMMC partition after a new rom ....
Without having the device in hand, it's impossible to say what the cause may be.
Whether it's a rom issue, or apps etcetera......g
I think I found the culprit....
If you have a .tmp folder delete it.
I deleted mine and my battery started charging normal again.

Here is a solution: Get a new ROM because the ROM you have installed is over clocked too much so the voltage the phone gets from the battery is almost equivalent to the voltage of your charger. The charger has a voltage of 5, which means the phone has a voltage of now 4.7V
hi,
For quite sometime I notice that at times when i put my phone to charge, the battery would be stuck at a particular % for quite sometime like for eg 50% for more than an hour. But when I restart my phone it would say it is fully charged. I dont really understand what happens. I am using slimcm on my sola. Any kind of help would be appreciated,

My girlfriend and I both have Notes that we bought at the same time and this week, both of our phones are showing weird battery behavior. She is running stock ICS, and I'm running Slimbean 4.2.2 and our phones reboot occasionally and lose the remaining battery power. Just now, I had 70%+ battery left, crash+reboot and now I'm at 1% instantly. It just started happening this week for both phones, which seems a little bit more than just a coincidence. Anyone know what's going on here?
How long have you guys had your notes? and has there been any sudden change to the weather either really hot or colder than normal lately?

If anything you're seeing battery stats issues, not actual battery charge.
how long have you had your notes? I had the same issue and if you've had your note since it was released is safe to say the batteries are going bad. I had the same erratic behavior and the moment I got a new battery it went away.

Just an update, I bought two new OEM batteries and so far both phones have been working fine. Physically comparing the old and new batteries, it's clearly visible that the old ones bulged out quite a bit and looked "puffy".
It is the dust accumulated inside the usb port that has caused a short circuit of those pins. The phone will lose battery very fast and weird things will happen. Use a fine toothbrush and rub the usb port to clean out those dust and the phone will be back to normal. This happens to my N7000 and this i717 before.
