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.

Was wondering if anyone has had similar battery graph issues or knows what is happening. I've had my Galaxy SII for nearly 3 weeks and the battery has been fine, first on KE1 and currently on KE2, contract phone from O2.
Yesterday the battery graph jumped up twice during the day which I thought was strange but it was a one off. Then today I noticed it did it again but more worrying is the fact that around 8% of the total charge of the battery was lost almost instantly. (I would post a screenshot but need to get to 8 posts).
At this time I was watching video on the phone, if you imagine the two parts joined then this steep curve is what I normally get but does anyone know what is going on? Is my battery faulty or is the way the phone checks the battery level getting confused and altering its values?
Means it is not calibrated properly. There are tons of opinions on how to calibrate your battery. Personally I let the phone shut itself of and then charge till full while keeping it of till full. Works for me. Also keep in mind that your battery needs a couple of charge cycles before it works properly so don't worry to much.
So just the other day my phone would start randomly rebooting and it only seems to do it when the batter power is lower, like less than 50%. Ive been running the same rom (mikrunny 1.7) for well over a month and have had it oc'd the whole time to 1.5 and never had an issue before now.
It was doing it last night again. It was around 55% when it started. I left it turned off for a bit while we drove home from the bar and when I got home and rebooted it and now read 7%. Shut it back off and let it charge off over night. Booted up this morning and its now at 80% when it was definitely showing the green light saying it was fully charged.
So battery going bad or do I need to recalibrate it? Already ordered a HTC oem battery from amazon (it was 7.50, didnt realize they were so cheap!) so hopefully it is the battery and not something else.

Once you get your new battery it would be easy to see if the battery can be the issue. I have 3 batteries myself and I notice once that one of them was always causing my phone to random reboot. I color coded all 3 batteries to keep track of them and I notice that anytime the "red" battery was in the phone it would reboot while below the 50% mark.
I have replaced that battery and haven't had this issue, I'm rooted running a stock kernel and ROM so I could say that it may have relation to the battery.
I tried to get alogcat but nothing would show because the log would clear at boot. It can be a reaction to an inconsistency on the batteries voltage.
Are you on newest radio? I flashed the updated radio and started getting random reboot. I flashed back to radio 2.08, all reboots stopped.
I was having this problem with two separate ROMs until I reverted radio.

I did a search and found similar threads, but it seems that my problem is slightly different.
I have been using different CM9 Roms over the past few months and they have all been pretty stable, and the battery life has been pretty good.
However, I was on a trip last weekend and all of a sudden, my phones battery went from 100% to 40% in a matter of hours with the phone screen completely off.
I tried flashing other ICS ROMs, installing the blue sleep fix to no avail (wiping in between each, even doing a fastboot wipe as well). Then I restored a nandroid I had of a CNA ROM where I knew I wasn't having any battery life problems, but the problem still persisted.
I installed better battery stats to see if I could get an idea of what could be wrong. For example, this morning, my phone was charged to 100%. I took it off the charger, and it literally sat on my end table for 2 hours. I didn't touch it. I then looked at it, and it was down to 80%. I went into better battery stats, and it said under the partial wakelocks that the longest wakelock was only a few seconds. I then looked at the processes, and it said that deep sleep was the dominant process at 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Obviously if the phone is in deep sleep it shouldn't be dying that quickly (I would assume). Is there anything that anyone knows might be wrong with my phone that it is killing the battery across all these different ROMs?
My only other option is to completely wipe the phone and sd-cards and install nottachtrix, since I was getting 2 - 3 days of battery life on that ROM.

Have you tried the app CPU spy on the cm9 ROM to see what's eating at the battery CPU wise and to see if your getting deep sleep?

Im using Cyanogen Mod 10.1 build Jan 23 on my phone. Till recently (2 days specifically) my battery has started acting up. When i connect it to the wall charger it charges super slow. Also if I'm browsing or using the phone for an email or anything during charge the charge on the battery still drops. I also charged the phone using a blackberry charger same issue happens. The battery takes 6-8 hours to charge completely.
This also happened to me the first time i charged my phone when i got it. But it fixed itself after that.
It behaves the same when i switch off the phone and charge it.
Plz Help.

Sounds like a bad battery imo. You didn't turn down the charging rate in a custom kernel by anychance?
CM10 nightlies are still under DEV so you can expect a battery drain until stable versions comes out !!
Im using Stock Kernel on the device. No changes made to it or battery charge rate. Should I buy a new battery? Or can it be a hardware issue?
Like being said before CM10.1 is still in dev.
Try flashing back to stock and test.
Welcome to the baffled S3 charging issues thread....

I'm pretty certain it's not a ROM or a kernel issue. The same is happening to me.
My suspicions lie in the actual charging port and/or the battery. I don't have a spare battery to test. But this happens no matter what rom I use. It tends to be fine after a fresh ROM install or a fresh wipe. But it goes back to 'acting up' after some time.
For example, I left it at around 4% last night only to wake up to it at around 33%. Where before, it would fully charge after around ~4 hours or even less.
Another symptom is that when on wifi/data (whilst plugged in) the phone still drains and even faster so when it is actually downloading something.. This isn't your typical battery drain.
NOT a rom/kernel issue as some would like to suggest (for a "quick thanks" maybe...? ) as this isn't your usual battery drain.
So lately my 1.5 year old Galaxy Alpha running Lollipop (never rooted or modded) started having poor battery life. It used to shut off at 1% battery life. But started to die at even 15% recently. Now this past weekend I was on vacation and a few times the phone died at approx 35% and wouldn't turn back on without a charge first. And when it did come back on the time and date were very!! far off although I was in air plane mode but still seemed odd. A few days later I had it plugged in over night as I always do and saw that the phone was very hot in the morning in my hand. I unlocked it and a notification was up. Cant remember word for word but something along the lines of "battery too hot to charge". It would not charge, I've tried to pulled the battery and reinsert it etc. The odd time it will show on the screen that it is charging but it is stops very quickly. Is this normal for a 1.5 year old battery? Will a new battery solve this problem? I've had no issues with the charging port on this phone. The only problem I've had with this phone is the fingerprint scanner but I've opted to just not use it.
Basically I am hoping someone else has had similar symptons. I hope its not hardware and hoping its as simple as a new battery. But hate to order one and wait a week to find it hasn't helped. Thanks so much for reading this and hope to hear from you guys!

I've had mine since it was released and have never had a heating problem, even with the original battery.
