Problem??? Because it drops to 99% after you unplug the charger??? That's way within the tolerances of the charge circuit. The real question is what kind of battery life are you getting?
FWIW, My stock T-Mobile SGS-III (i.e. dual core Snapdragon S4) often displays 99% when I unplug the charger. However, it's inconsequential as I get a full day of service from this battery

Well thank you man i thought i was the only one having this problem but fortunatly my phones can last a full and sometimes more than a day.Have a nice day.
Mine still stays on 100% approx an hour later. I.use to have that problem, u need to use different kernel like phenomenal 2.0 or siyah 1.5 beta3

Weird
Hmm that's weird, cause mine doesn't jump to 99% when i unplug charger (on stock firmware)
What firmware are you using now ?
If I were to unplug my phone and not touch it or wake it up it would be on 100% for 1.5 hours.
samsung made it like this to prevent overcharging well it was on S2
Happens to me as well, i've assumed it's just the battery fuel gage calibration being a bit off, and that's likely what it really is. This doesn't really matter, the fuel gage isn't very precise anyway, by design, so who cares.
This is not a problem.
The battery meter is reset everytime your phone charges to 100%.
Unplugged and checked an hour later and still at 100%...stock non rooted.

Its supposed to do that to prevent overcharging or so I've heard but if you leave it plugged in for quite a while, it should stick at 100%.
Mine used to display 99%, but since a recent OTA update, it now stays on 100% once unplugged. Samsung must have altered it. Im on Stock Rom.

Hi Everyone!
I had updated my rom on 9100G to stock ICS from samfirmware few days ago. It worked fine for few days and now, the flash led is always on (even when the phone is off). Do you think its a hardware issue or a ROM issue?
Regards,
Eddie
lolwut. You're saying the flash LED is always on? So it's like walking around with a light bulb in your pocket? Hahahaha, well I shouldn't worry, the LED will probably have burnt out by the time you read this.
remove battery restart phone and see if that happens,
wipe your phone using dial code after saving your stuff and see if that happens
last resort flash a new ROm after full wipe
or repair job

Hey there plz note that having ur led on while the device is off can't be done technically i suppose that you mean that when the device is locked.
Anyway try to pull the battery off the device and install teslaled flashlight from play store and force it to swich the camera led off . Let me know are you having your device rooted or not ?

I think it is quite normal that your phone is not charging, when the battery is not inserted and connected to the charger >.> but funnies aside,
If that didnt happen before you flashed to the latest ICS firmware(original) then there is a software issue regarding it, something is forcing your led to be on. probably a malfunctioning flashlight app that is not compatible with ICS.

OMG.. really? I thought that was understandable.. i put the damn battery back to charge it buddy.. LOL.
I took the phone to the service center.. They claim that its a HW issue.
ive searched xda for a couple of days, ive googled, ive youtubed. and nothing has helped. seems like not many people are having this problem. but i recently got a galaxy s2 i777. stock GB firmware. stock everything. everything on it worked fine all connections and all the other good stuff. the only problem is when i try to charge it via wall charger it automatically shuts off and flashes the battery charging over and over again. (btw when i plugged in i CAN boot into download mode) same thing happens when plugged via usb. So i got tired and i odined flashed ICS because i read that would fix many bugs.. to my surprise it fixed the battery flashing issue and now when its off and plugged in it charges like it normally would but i CANNOT boot up when its connected to any power source. and even on ICS it still shuts itself off when plugged in. i need to know how i can get it to stay turned on when charging.
sorry if its a little long guys. i hope you can help me solve this problem, and to the ones that are gonna ask why i started a new thread just for this.. well because no one else seems to be having my specific problem. tThank you guys so much in advance for your help
Are you using an after market battery? If yes, try swapping it out with a factory one

Stock sgs2 att batteries?
(⊙＿⊙)
Sounds like the battery is the problem. Make sure the battery you have is NFC. Immediately under the Samsung logo at the top on both sides, it should say Near Field Communication.
The other option of course is to try flashing a different Rom and kernel and see if the problem persists. But they're most likely correct, you'll probably need a new stock battery. Some phones you can use a battery bought from anywhere, our phones are just kinda temperamental. Most likely because of the NFC capability but that's just a guess.

When using a stock Sammy Rom you need a stock battery w/NFC. A Aokp/Cm9 can sometimes use an after market battery. I found that out after buying one without NFC and it did what you describe. Right now I am running Task AOKP with non NFC batt and everything is fine.

Hello XDA I think this is my first question here so please try not to bully me to much in case I'm asking something that was answered before , although I did search for my problem and I didn't find it here.
So it started like 1 week ago , nothing actually changed to my phone since I started having this problem.
First please take a look at the 2 images i attached to see the odd behavior.
So it first begins when I see a STOP sign at the 3g connectivity icon,indicating me that there is not sim inserted(this is not true i always have my sim inserted) and the first thing i do is try to restart the phone,when it opens again the battery level is 1% and if I leave it like this for a few minutes it closes just like my battery would actually be empty,after I remove the battery and open it again it shows me something like 13% and rapidly discharging,after that drains also I remove the battery again and wait like 5 minutes and then try to open it again,it has more than 45% battery left,also if I try to use it as I would normally do if i really had that much battery left, the 3g connectivity icon turns to "No sim stop sign" and it just does that randomly even if I am not using the data plan at all.
I must mention that I did not charge the phone between the images!
I want to know,could this be from software or is it something physic damaged in my phone ?
I am using ICS 4.0.4 updated with Kies and my phone is not rooted.
Sometime i got the same issue, but I use custom rom and kernel.
Recommend you not to update via Kies, it may cause many problems. You may need boot into stock recovery ( Turn off, then hold Volume Up+Home+ Power, while boot logo appears, unhold Power button). In recovery, clear cache. If it does not resolve, try to download firmware from Sammobile, and flash using Odin, i think that 's better.
In my case, it may happen after flashing other kernel. Just remove battery from phone for 30 min or more, and then place it.
Its a known issue for all galaxy s2 handsets (probably with more, I'm not sure). Its a problem of the fuel gauge in our device which unfortunately cannot be fixed. Wiping battery stats won't help, as acknowledged by Google devs. However, I believe that an option in Siyah kernel is there to reset the fuel gauge, which may work (I haven't tested it personally).

hi everyone
I updated my lumia 920 to portico and everything good just one thing that's if my battery goes empty and my phone says goodbye I connect the wire charger but the phone didn't wake up and take one hour to start and the battery percent was 6%
please help me
sorry for bad English :crying:
If ur battery goes down, then it is perfectly normal that u have to charge it for a while untill u can power it on again. This is the case both with iPhones and Android devices. This way the battery is protected from emptying, since then, it would be needed 4 the battery to get replaced, which on Lumia920 isn't an easy process. Heck, I don't think it can be done at home, maybe if some1 is skilled enuff.
thanks for u
but when I rolled the software back to (1232.2109.1242.1002) the problem disappear
and if I updated to (1232.5951.1249.1002) it's came back
where's the problem

You just answered your own question. If it is there with one ROM but not the other then the problem is obviously the ROM is not compatible with your hardware. You also should not be flashing ROMS with less than 50% of your battery remaining. This is just to keep the risk of loosing power in midflash down.

no I tried to flash many ROM with different product code (059r0j3 my won) but the problem still found .... I think the problem with portico and my hardware
Hi, i was hoping you to help me. My phone is getting crazy.. I had a custom rom, the cm11 weekly build, and then i started having troubles with random reboots. Suddenly, my phone with 100% battery powers off and stays that way until i noticed that, then i power on and i have 1% battery and it turns it off. I thought it was a OS problem, so i installed the stock rom to see if it would solve, but turns out that when i'm around 60% battery it reboots again and again, and there's a flicker on the screen. I tried to root and flash another rom, i tried to keep it off for a few days, i tried to drain the battery as fast as i could but it doesn't solve it. So i'm thinking if it could be a battery issue, maybe it's kinda dead.. What do i do? do i buy a new battery or maybe it's another issue? Had anyone had a similar problem? Would it be possible that the companies on purpose make the phone to get crazy after a couple years as a strategy to sell more? Sorry for my bad english, and thanks in advance for your help.

doesn't hurt to try a new battery, they cost around 10 dollars, and no, phone companies don't do that as a strategy to make you buy a new phone. They stop officially updating your phone to make you buy a new one.

Exactly, i was scared because where i'm from (Argentina) the phones are just impossible to buy, way too expensive. And there's no even the newest phones because the government don't let import/export whatever we want, so it's gonna be hard for me to get a new battery...
I would get new battery and test it for a day then flash different ROM , stock for few days then any good rated ROM
