Hey this is my first post on xda
When my phone freezes for abit it automatically resets itself which i suppose you can consider normal. But after the reboot i have to connect charger. I can have around 70% charge but after the reboot its more like 10%. I have also gone through 3 genuine samsung batteries in the past 3 months. I can only put it down to bad phone voltage.
I have had this problem with my SII for the past couple of months. Its around 16 months old and not yet due for an upgrade so im hoping to fix it.
The pictures show my battery dropping around 30% just because my phone became unresponsive and would not work so i restarded it.
Cheers in advance, Chris

Happened to me quite a few times too. But mainly because of I was on a non stock kernel.
Would want to know whats occuring within it to cause such a drain.
Maybe its a battery calibration issue. It was not discharged instantly but the reading was inaccurate. ?
Have to tried recalibration techniques?
Post your ROM and kernel details; Goto Settings - About phone, and post everything you see
Nothing to worry about. The fuel-gauge chip just gone crazy.
Cheers for the replies. Heres my info

Yes..agreed fuel chip gone crazy. Here is my screenshot. Discharged instantly when rebooted or as the system read it. Then without charging the battery reading gradually increased..!! Strange

Assuming you have rooted your SGS2, have you tried to reset the battery stats in CWM?
Battery stats is the file which is responsible for battery graph in settings. So deleting it won't help.

Hi guys I have noticed a strange Battery status..
I had my battery percentage showing above 50%
Then I switched off the phone,
took the battery out for a few seconds,
put back the battery and switched on the phone.
The battery was down by 15-20%
Then it started to gain a few percentage (upto 5%) of battery without me putting it to any kind of charging point/data cable.
What kind of weird thing is this in the Galaxy s2.
I am using Android 2.3.5
Simple&Clean v1.3
Speedmod k2-16
I have also attached a screenshot of it.
Please tell me why is this happening cuz this happens every time i take my battery out.
Thanks
nah, its ok. just a bug which happens sometimes. happened to me many many times.
Or if you are constantly overcharging the battery it will happened .

You can't overcharge if your phone is working right. Its probably just drift in the monitoring circuit.

It's due to Samsung's built in battery calibration. When flashing firmware cwm can throw battery stats off, but after using the ROM for a while it will auto correct itself. Nothing to worry about dude!

hey djsherry, did u figure this problem out? because I have the same and if you (and others) have a close look at your screenshot your phone shows the same amount of time both for elapsed and remaining time on battery!!! Thats a weird situation, I have read hundreds of threads and still couldnt figure that out! Anyone??? Must have a problem with the hardware (battery monitoring) or with the battery itself?!?
Search before posting please, nothing weird about this. It is well documented well understood behavior.

Its common, resetting your battery gauge will reduce this to some extent

Hello. I got a lot of problems with my battery. It was all fine until i rooted and flsahed a custom rom. I flsahed jellybam and wiped cache data battrey stats and everything before. I get a lot of random shut downs and reboots and battery percentage drops. Sometimes its at for example 80% and i don't use it its in my pocket and it just shuts down. Or it sais it has 30% 40% and i receive a call or sms and it gets to 1% and shuts down and when i turn it on it has again 30 40% or slowly gets to that percentage. I tried aokp, jellybam, rainbow rom (something like that) rootbox and tried dorimanx and siyah kernel. Now i went back to stock rom and krenel but the problems are still there. I attached a pic of my batt stats so pls if anyone knows what could be the problem please help.
Edit: i tried calibrating the battery with an app and manualy shutting down the phone charging the phone to 100% and remove the battery a few minutes but that didn't change a thing

Nice picture, where is that? the Alps?
Sorry for the late reply i had some other stuff going around. I tried resetting the fuel gauge chip with extweeks while on siyah kernel and that didn't change anything, i tried a few more roms and kernels but the problem remains. Now i am on resurection remix 4.0.4 rom with flexy kernel and i tried reseting the fuel gauge chip with xxtweeks and again nothing changed. I guess this is a problem with the phone becouse with different roms/kernels the problem is the samo. Lately its getting worse. The phone is on the table with 80% battery and i just hear the low battery sound and when i unlock it its on 12%, and than goes to 5% and lower and shuts down. After restart it has again around the normal 80% for example. Also one day i charged it to 100% and as soon i unpluged the charger it dropped to 0% and shut down. Could it be the battery or is something seriously wrong with the phone? Thx in advance

Could be the battery.
Just try another battery from which you know it is working in your phone, and then try your 'faulty' battery in a phone from which you know it is working. This way you will know at least if it is the phone or the battery.
Thanks for thr replay. I guess i‘ll just buy a new battery and see how that goes because i don't have a spare s2 and battery to try

I've been experiencing the same problem with my SGS2's battery and noticed that it is getting bloated. I purchased a new one to prevent severe damage on my mobile phone.
Hi im new to the XDA and have a very weird problem. I have a rooted SGS2 running Task650 aokp jellybean 4.1.2 siyah kernel. I have several problems. My first problem is that my phone wont charge correctly. It charges but it starts to drain after it is fully charged. So over night around 5 am it is fully charged but it drains super fast so its around 72% at about 7am. After playing around taking the battery out putting it back in it has another problem. It charges for 2 or 3 mins then it jumps back and forth between charging and not charging. After trying about 3 days it charges correctly. So for about a week it works and then it starts back up. I would like to try to soft reset it but unlike its stock rom it doesnt soft reste by holding HOME+POWER. I have tried hard reset.unrooting, different charges, and different batteries. Please link me or give me an answer thanks in advance.
ps i have tried wiping battery stats and will it notify me in a email when someone post a commet

If its a s/w issue, better battery stats might give a better picture.
Bbs thread has really good info.
Personally, i have improved my battery life to 4+ hours screen time after analyzing data from bbs. I have understood my phone better now.
Thx i will try and see if that helps

No problem. PM me if you need to.
I googled a lot before posting in here, tried many things but none worked.
This started happening around 2 months ago. I installed a battery calibration application from Play Store. After installing it, in place of making my battery better, it destroyed it.
Now my battery lasts about 6-7 hours with hardly using it (but wifi or 3g on all the time). When I depart at 7:30 to go to school, it is 100%, and at 13:00 my phone turns off.
I thought it was a problem of calibration, and i don't really know if that works. Tried many other apps. None worked.
Tried installing cwm and wiping battery stats at 100%. Didn't work.
Tried repairing with PC Companion or SUS. Nope
I bought a new battery 3 days ago, because thought that the problem was the battery and not the calibration anymore. Didn't work! My battery barely lasts 7 hours, when before it lasted a full day.
Tried factory reset. As you can guess Didn't work :crying:
Then I thought maybe the time has come to reinstall original rom once more. I did that yesterday. Installed from the beginning and rooted my phone, and formatted sdcard. Installed this systemUI too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762162 .
Thought that the problem would be resolved. But no. Today the battery dropped from 30% to 1% and turned off.
This is driving me crazy. What to do?
Have you ever heard of this problem? Anyone got the solution?

...but if it's happening after flashing a stock ROM then could be HW issue, and seeing as you've replaced the battery already then I'd be considering a service Centre.

Ok so here are the new battery stats. 6 pictures...
Now that I am charging the phone notuced that the battery went from 6 or 7% to 17%.
Surprisingly, this time the battery didn't drop from 30% to 1%. It dropped from number to number.
This makes me think that this phone is timed to power off. So in average using it drops normally the numbers but, when I don't use it or hardly use it, it drops, like it should power off.
I know this is stupid right!
It is WEIRD!
IT IS KILLING ME!

You can buy a new phone. (just kidding). Try this: Add this two lines (ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0) & (pm.sleep_mode=1) to the end of your build.prop. If you don't know how to edit the build.prop you can learn here.
You installed new rom when this start? If yes try stock or some where you dont see that problem anyway this is nothing to do with battery stats. Every time when you charge phone above 90% then android make wipe battery stats automaticaly and even this havent nothing to do with %.

Ok I'll certainly try adding the two lines.

Hi all,
I use Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable on Samsung i9100.
today I experienced system to freeze after I tried to run one of games.
after reboot (holding power button to restart) I saw battery level droped from 66% to 18%.
After some time I have noticed that battery level is rising after 1,5 hour it is 26%.
Should I consider it as normal?
BR
Two reasons
1. Battery chip is not behaving well. Reset it anf see if it works
2. Battery is about to die, no remedy, have to replace sooner or later.

It's a bit "normal" in some moments. Just charge it when it's need to be charged. And after that charging cylce things are normal again. It usually happens when your phone freezes (like in your situation)
