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

It should say discharging instead of not charging.

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

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
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
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.
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?

try to wipe battery states
..
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
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

Hello,
After reading other threads, I've decided that I should post my case to see if I get a better answer.
A couple of days ago after being with SuperNexus 2.0 for a few months I decided to try the stock LSS ROM, I didn't like it and went back to SuperNexus again wiping the Battery Stats in the process to see if my battery life could improve (I know it's a myth, but I tried it anyway). After this my 1.2 years old battery has been crazy:
- Sometimes it will completely discharge it doesn't matter at what percentage the battery is.
- Sometimes the phone will shut down like if the battery is at 0% and it won't turn on again, but if I connect it to the charger it will show some charge (close to the one it has before the phone shut down) and the phone will turn on again. After this I can immediately remove the charger and the phone will work like normal.
What I don't like is that just before the phone randomly shuts down, the screen starts blinking and/or the phone hangs (it doesn't respond to the touch). I'm worry this could be damaging the phone itself.
Please refer to the screenshots (there is not photoshop involved, I swear).
I've tried to charge it to 100% (trying to get it as close to 4.2V as possible), I have pump charged it (disconnect/connect the charger until it doesn't drop to less than 100% immediately), reflash the ROM (wiping/format system, data, dalvik, cache, etc. the usual suspects), etc. but no luck.
I know it looks like a faulty battery, but it has never shown this behavior until I sadly deleted the Battery Stats. Will a new battery solve the problem or it will just be the same?
Any thoughts? Any help/recommendation will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers.
P.S.: I have to say that before all this I was running Dori 9.14, but I ran the Kernel and the ROM wipe scripts (I know the ROM wipe runs the Kernel script too) between flashes.

Wiping Battery Stats is never a problem, people even do that to reset Battery estimates, try a reflash and a more stable kernel. As far as I know Dori 9.14 is not playing nice with some people.

Yes it sounds weird that deleting a file will screw your battery, but the coincidence here is huge, that's what I don't understand. With respect to Dori 9.14 (I only used it for a couple of weeks), yes i was running it before I did all this, I'm now running the stock Kernel that comes with SuperNexus (which never gave this kind of problems before).
I also removed the battery to see if it was maybe a faulty connection, but it stays in place very tightly.
Cheers.
