[Q] battery percentage changing - AT&T LG Optimus G

Sense the jb update has anyone else notice there batteru percentage changing on its own. For example ill be at 60% and it will go down one or two percent then go back to 60% or even 61% it works across the board in this manner. Hope somebody else is having the same problem and can help me figure this out.

Yes i think there is a bug in jb update. After unplug it says 98% and after 7 minutes it changes to 99%. Lol

battery information problem

hi guys , i got some problem with the information displayed for my razr maxx. the thing is the battery usage curve won't change for the first 10% of power drain, and the awake bar and screen on bar are full. but when the battery drops to 80% and below, the curve starts to count from the 80% position, what is going on? how can i fix it ?
here is the screenshot
How many times have you already charged that battery from 0% to 100% and drained it back again to 0%?
Seems like a simple calibration issue that should have no effect in real world battery performance.
Had that too. If you want to know more about this, look up "batterystats.bin".
So, if you haven't done what I said in the first line, do it and report back.
i have tried delete the .bin file bwfore, nothing changed. i think i will try to charge it from 0to 100again see if there will be any change. btw will the battery calibration apps solve this?

Read that. You don't have to do anything, just let your razr get some charge cycles and the readouts will be right. Remember: There is no need to tinker with this, as this has no effect except for cosmetic terms.
thanks for the information. one more thing, the battery indicator always shows that the screen on and awake time are the same, even after i turn off the screen and play music for an hour. is this normal? or the system keeps recognizing the status of the screen as on? how should i deal with this?
I would just wait a few days (read: charge cycles) and look again. Indeed strange, but if your battery doesn't get drained this also seems just to be another cosmetic issue.
actually it seems it has been more energy draining than before. it wouldn't drop 1% when i turned on flight mode at night and checked it in the morning. but now even i turn on flight mode it drops about 5% next morning.

Don't count on the battery percentage today. Look again tomorrow/after some charge cycles.
The battery readouts need to be calibrated to display the correct battery level.
I had the same "issues" (in fact, those don't seem to be real issues) and they went away. I assume your razr will behave the same as mine
Is the phone still new? I know mine was a little wonky until the charging and the meter apparently calibrated themselves to Maxx's battery Ever since, it's been very accurate.
yes it is still new. i got it about half a month ago. just got it charged to 100% from 0%. gonna see what will happen。

Battery % updating sporadically

Hi guys,
I just got this phone but it's having a weird problem. The battery % seems to drop off in big jumps instead of gradually.
For instance, I also have an Xperia Play, if I run the LED as a flashlight, I can see over a few minutes the battery % goes down gradually.
This new phone, Samsung Galaxy Q, if I run the flashlight, nothing changes in a few minutes. But if I check back after locking the phone a few minutes later, it shows a battery drain.
Another example, before I went to bed, I had it charged to 100%. When I woke up 7 hours later, I checked and it was still at 100%. I checked after I got dressed a few minutes later, and it just dropped to 90%. During my trip to work about half way while playing music, half way to work, it was down to about 86%, kept checking, and no changes. When I got to work at my desk, the battery hit 77%.
My battery graph when I goto battery use is basically this, straight line....DROP, straight line...DROP, etc.
Has ANYONE ever had this problem?
I have seen this happening when the battery gets older.. is this a new device with a new battery?? If it is a new device, your battery might be damaged. you should better get it replaced.

Galaxy s3 battery issue with SynergyROM.

Hello,
Originally I was running CleanROM 5.6 and felt like trying a new some. I decide to give SynergyROM r484 a chance, a while a few minor bugs bothered me, I really like the ROM. However, the battery is giving me some issues. Two nights ago after setting up r484 I let it charge overnight to 100%, when I got home the phone was at like 24% and eventually the battery went to 16%. It stayed at16% for a looooong time and then shut up. I tried charging the phone and after 4 hours it only charged to 20%. I shut it off and turned it on again after a 3 minute "break" and the battery was at 47% instead of previously at 20%. I drained the battery fully and then again charged it overnight fully to 100% while the phone was off. I was thinking maybe I fixed the issue, but right now I got home like 20 minutes ago and my battery life is decreasing at a "steady" pace but now it's stuck on 23% and has been for a little long time. I feel that my battery is probably around 15% in actuality. It seems upon installing SynergyROM r484, when the battery gets low... it doesn't display the correct percentage and I feel that's a huge issue. I'm also running leankernel 2.2 if that's an issue? I really would like to use this ROM, and while it's functional this battery issue is a serious problem and I'm thinking of flashing to CleanROM 6.0 for something more stable.
Does anyone else have this problem? I was hoping if anyone had any idea of a fix or something along those lines.
Thank you for reading,
Zealex.

Battery Indicator goes wrong after go for 4.3 Jellybean

Guys. Is anyone realise something wrong with 4.3 Jellybean (batter indicator)?
I dont what its calling this problem. Just let me explain. B4 upgrade to 4.3 Jellybean on yesterday (see today date), I was on 4.2 Jellybean. I got notice my battery indicator showing 59% left. After updated to 4.3 Jellybean, its showing 19% left.
I tought battery drain because of updating the sofware. After 2 hours, the indicator still showing 19% with wifi running without stamina mode (i used whatapss n weChat too). Im impressed with this big changes.
I get back home 1hours later, put on dock charger. Then its showing 29% after 3min charging. W#F ??
I shutdown my phone left over on charging. 1 hour later when get backc the indicator showing the battery has not fully charge. I boot up my phone and seeing the battery indicator is 100%.

Not so good for the battery, but let it completely drain, until it shuts down on its own.
Connect to charger and let it charge for good 4 hours.
Turn on device. Should be good.
It happened to me before. This solved it.

Thx 4 feedbck. I will try this.
It's perfectly normal. The 4.2.2 system reads the battery state to be at 59%. Moving to a different base (4.3), the system has no idea what level the battery is at, so it more or less guesses (which might be the reason why it was "stuck" at 19%). This will get "fixed" once you charge it again though, and this happens quite often when we flash custom ROMs.
Did same falling from 73% to 29% but now back up to 51% after a bit of charging so all well so far.

Ya I too faced same thing. I was at 68% but after updating 4.3 it went down to 31%.After then charged it to 100% for 3 hours and now it seems fine.

Help with battery life

Hi guys I really need help:
Its been a few months that my s3 was weird. It would drain really fast and when it got to low charge, the screen would flicker and freeze on whatever it was on. Whenever I opened any power hungry apps at whatever percentage, the flickering would still happen. The only way to prevent this flickering was by having it on AC, on which there was never any flickering so the phone was constantly on 100.
However when not on charge, the battery would fall really quickly I'm talking 1% every few minutes. It would then eventually reach zero and die. But the weird thing is as soon as I plug it in to be charged, it would suddenly be 45% or somewhere around there? This confused me I thought maybe it was the battery so i bought a new genuine battery but no luck as the exact same thing happens.. I am out of ideas I don't know what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: UPDATE: Here's an example of what the battery life is like: I started a video recording and it went down 6% in 5 mins then 12% in 10 mins then 18% in 15 mins so it goes down exactly 6% every 5 mins for a video recording. I am not sure if this is hardware or software.

Do you use stock rom? Or custom? If custom then check to see if you have right bootloader and kernel installed or any other custom rom related problems. Or you could just download a stock rom and flash it then check to see if your problem persists, if it does then it might be a hardware problem which we cannot help you with.
Replace battery, screen flickering with a battery above 1% means your device isn't displaying the real charge, I forgot where I read but if you let the device discharge to 0% and wait for sometime your battery will 'charge on its own', know that this charge wouldn't last as long as a normal charge;
I fully discharged an old battery then leave it overnight, I came back with 70% power, went browsing for awhile and the screen begins to flicker at 30% and it eventually froze and turned itself off.
Tl;dr buy a new battery

Hey thanks for the reply. I use stock rom but the device is rooted, and how do i check if i have the right bootloader or kernel please? and how do i check for that?

Yes thats exactly what i thought its not showing the correct percentage. I bought a new battery but problem still persists so I was thinking that my phone isnt displaying the correct percentage for some reason it isnt a problem with consumption instead it doesnt display the correct power. SO new battery didnt fix it. Thanks for your reply.

No need to check all that if you use stock rom and didnt flash any custom rom, use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.batteryapps.batterycalibration and follow all instructions and check to see if your problem is fixed.

No it didn't fix. I either need software that will display the correct battery percentage or just fix this problem or check my phone if it has problems or the hardware?

It could be the contacts, I think its better to check it at a service center.
