Hey guys! Last night i put my phone to charge (about 2AM) when i came home and when i got up at 5, it said fully charged so I unplugged it. Soon after (Maybe 2 mins) i noticed a drop on the battery bar. When i went into Settings>About Phone>Status (ANDROID 2.3.6), the battery readout was 91% and it said the battery was being used for 0H 3M 23S. Plugging back in the phone (USB or WALL) results in the same behavior
I am currently running down my battery and will proceed to charge it up and hopefully calibrate it. Can any of you provide any insight as to what may have caused this issue? And are there any fixes in case the calibration does not work? I kept searching around but I couldnt find my exact problem listed and therefore i couldnt get any answers
All help greatly appreciated Thanks ^_^
Flash Siyah or Dori Kernel, and then you can do a reset on the Fuel-Gauge chip in Extweaks. If that doesn't work it's maybe a hardware problem and you probably have to replace your battery...
I've read in other fora and have been convinced that Battery Calibration does not work, since in every cycle (or whenever the battery is charged up to 100%), it somehow "resets" or auto-calibrate or something..
Perhaps flashing another kernel would be a good idea..
But nonetheless, you may try BetterBatteryStats to check what's consuming power..

Yeah, just be careful with what version you flash. I don't remember what versions are compatible with gb. Why not upgrade to jelly bean?

Did you recently upgrade ? because that happens for the first 1-2 days or so, or i could be your battery test it by charging it to full and testing it with a voltmeter it should read around ~~~~4.1+ volts

So ive seen time and time again that the fuel gauge can be a little wonky on this device, and forgive me if I overlooked it, but Ive never seen anyone post a fix. The issue Im having is that when the full charge notification sounds and I take my phone off the charger, its usually at 96% and I have to plug it back up about 6 more times after the full charge notification for it to read 100%. Ive tried charging it while the phone is off. And clearing battery stats even though I know that doesnt matter on the i777. Is there anyway to fix this?

I usually give mine premium gas so I don't have these issues.
Actually if you've recently flashed give battery a few days use to clear up.

I use the wall socket as well sir lol. I just dont know what else to do. Its been like 4 days since I flashed Illusion-xT with Siyah 2.6.9. What else could be causing this?
Some phones do not play well with siyah try flashing entropy kernel

Our fuel gauge doesn't require calibration, so no need to wait a few days. Sometimes it's just a little bit off, it's actually pretty common for it to drop to 99 or 98 after pulling a charger (especially if the battery was deeply discharged before charging on AC).
96 is a bit low though... I know gokhanmoral was screwing with charge termination recently. That might be the cause.
The only reason I flashed Siyah is that I didnt like Neo's tweaked version that is installed with Illusion-xT. Entropy, your kernel will work with his ROM? Im not using the I9100 Hellraise. Im using his I777 port.
It should work. Hellraiser originally started with a kernel and modem swap.
The other changes (audio libs, keymaps) have to be done regardless of kernel.
You can think of it as "pre-hellraised" with a different I777 kernel.
Awesome. So Im gonna flash your kernel and report back on how it works and if my fuel gauge quits being an ass.
Entropy, your kernel seems to help with battery more than Siyah did. However, did not resolve the fuel gauge problem. Full charge notification went off and when I pulled the charger it was 97. Even after plugging it back up twice it stayed at 97 after it was pulled.
My tab's battery dischargs normaly untill 50% then drops down to 2% and i do belive that its a software problem because the tab will continue working for another 5 hours but you cant raise the brightness or use the camera :banghead:

Have you tried to wiping the battery stats while fully charged and still on AC as suggested here:

I am going to do that now and see if it helps :fingers-crossed:

Tried, but did not help, I even tried to charge it off to the most can not, but it did not help.
It is possible that you could have over discharged your battery at some point. If calibrating and the thread mentioned above did not do the trick, you may have a damaged lithium cell. Over discharging can cause weird things to happen to batteries often leading to their failure. Or, you could simply have a faulty battery, or even worse... failing hardware.
I'm not trying to scare you, I just thought this information might be useful to this thread. I hope you get it all resolved.

I agree. It sounds like a damaged battery. Have any of you ever drained your battery completely dead? If yes and you've done so often, you most likely damaged your battery. Lithium batteries should never be completely drained.

What ICS ROM are you running? Is it the OTA update for non-rooted tabs, or are you rooted and flashed one of the custom ICS ROMS? I agree with others that it sounds like a battery issue, but knowing which ROM you are running would be helpful.
It's an official ics but from diffrent region " i dont think it matters " ,, also i dont think my battery is dead because when it goes to 2% it stays like thaypt for hours of using, but when it was normal 2% lasts for less than half an hour

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.
I am facing a big issue with charging. I have went through a lot of forums. Everywhere the suggestion was that a calibration of battery could fix my problem. I even tried that but still the problem is there.
This is what I am facing. Whenever I connect to wi-fi and browse using browser(I have tried many to see whether it's a problem related to browser) after some time my S2 switches OFF(my battery status at this time was 87%). When I try to restart the phone, it shows 1% chanrge left. So I connect and charge the batter again. But if I restart the phone again after two minutes of plugging to charge, then the battery status comes back almost back to the former(around 75-83%). Any idea why this is happening?
I tried re calibrating as suggested in one forum. This is what I did.
1) switched off teh phone
2) charge it to 100%
3) turned off
4) removed the battery
5) wait for 5 minutes
6) put the battery back on and switched on
Is this steps correct?

Well i will say try this software:
Battery Calibration on Google Play
Steps for that application are as follows:
1.Charge 100%
2.Open app and press calibrate
3. Unplug charger.
Now u may notice that it didnt worked much just after u calibrated it but what u should do is fully discharge it and then charge it back 100%. This time u will see the difference.

It seems like your battery is dead. Try to test with another battery before replacing yours.
No battery calibration app can help you. It has been confirmed by our devs.
Can you please share your configuration. It could be related to kernel.
Also it could also be that your phone's battery is dying

There is no back ground sync task in action in my phone. I have disabled them all.
Why should I change the modem? Is there any known issue with that?
Changing the modem won't do anything about battery drain while using WiFi as WiFi drivers are in the kernel. Changing modem might stuff your currently good call quality & good data speeds tho (in other words, don't touch your modem if your call quality/connectivity is good).
Edit - Don't bother trying to calibrate your battery either. Anyone who says a SGS2 battery can be calibrated is selling you **** & telling you it's haute cuisine.
Extra edit - Your battery is cactus. Buy a new one.

Thanks for the help. Found another issue or a modification for the above mentioned behavior.
After the S2 switches off, it now looks that I don't even have to charge the phone. The processor get heated up a bit(just leave it till it cools off). The batter comes back to 75% of what was the previous level. I am not yet convinced that it is a battery issue. Anyway will try to get a new one.
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
