I got this phone used so I'm not sure if there's something wrong with it or not. My phones battery is completely unpredictable, first off, it won't charge to 100%, the highest it goes is 95%. Next, it discharges extremely quickly. The charged % on the lock screen and the % in the notification bar are close to each other, but rarely ever the same (this includes the % displayed in my recovery too). Today my phone was at 19% when it died, so i plugged it up and when it came back on i had 9%, i rebooted once more. This time i had 57%! I mean no matter what i do its never consistent. Can someone recommend a rom+kernel combo to fix or test this? I've tried wiping the battery stats and it doesn't help.
Thanks.

That could happen if your battery is aged or it has overheated at some point so one of it's cells doesn't do it's job as it should.

Well, I always wanted to have 100% functionality and only sense 3.6 offer that. So, all recomendations are just opinions and personal likings. I suggest you try few ROMs and see which one suits your needs best

There is no need to calibrate the battery. When the phone reaches 99% charge capacity, it will take a while for it to achieve 100%. Once it achieves 100%, it will let the battery drop back down to 95% then it will begin charging back to 100%. It is a repeated process. It will keep doing this until the phone is removed from the charger.

Once you disconnect, your battery drops from 90 to 70 in a matter of minutes?

If that is the case, I would say bad battery. BUT I do remember reading that there were some Evo 3D's that suffered from the same problem, and they were also getting extremely hot. If that is the case, I suggest exchanging.

Let the phone die down to 15%, then charge it. If it drops significantly again, then we may have a problem. It could be a bad battery or an app you must have downloaded.

A smart phone is like a pocket sized computer. There can be malicious apps that can harm the phone. But if that isn't the case, I suggest hard resetting. If that still doesn't work, replace.
Edit: Try my other solutions first.

I personally had strange battery problems the first week I had the phone, and after that my battery life became quite good (I did the battery calibration technique from the og evo and it helped a lot also).
So if you're saying it's strange after a couple days I'd say give it a chance to go through a couple more charge cycles. I'd bet the issues will sort themselves out.

This is what has worked for me every time no matter if stock rooted or any other custom rom..... and I do this switching back and fourth between extended and stock battery..... you must be rooted.... atleast i was.
get the battery monitor widget from the market. In the setting you can change the ma rating of the battery you are using. Once you have done that click on stats in the app and it'll clear battery stats. Reboot phone go into app and clear stats again. That should be it. When I had clokworkmod installed on the reboot id clear battery stats in there as well.
This has worked for me time and time again.

I believe it's in the app he mentions. The "wipe battery stats" option is also in the advanced menu of CWM (clockwork mod). If you do not have a custom recovery installed just disregard that part as bootstrap does not have it.
My MoPho's in the kitchen sink!!
I was just wondering based on everyone's experience (especially those who have tried many different ROMs). Can you also mention how many ROMs you've tried?
I used to use stock ICS with all T-Mo bloatware and battery life is just horrible. Now, that I've rooted and use Fast Amaze ROM without all the bloatware and I can see a much better battery life. So, I am just wondering what would be the ROM you'd recommend that has the best battery life...
Thank you for the helps

I say make your own "rom". Learn what it is that devs do, use trial and error to figure out what tweaks make a real difference(read a roms tweaks, do research into how to make those changes).. remove bloat, modify the build.prop.. the best rom is the one you build yourself. And you learn a lot more too.
But that is just my opinion.

I came to the S2 from the Captivate. The captivate would charge to 100 then when unplugged sometimes would immediatell drop 2-3 percent.
I have never had this problem, or one like yours at all on the S2. Mine charges to 100 then stays there for quite a while after unplugged.

The only battery related issue we have is that on a reboot sometimes the device appears to lose most of its battery (unfixable bug with our fuel gauge). After that it will either not drain at all for a long time or it might go up a couple of digits.

Isn't the "fix" for this to remove your battery for a couple minutes and after putting it back in, charge it to 100%? I've had the issue where the battery percentage would drop significantly after a reboot and after using this method, it seems to work fine until I flash another rom.

I had the Atrix and from my understanding over there that's not an atrix issue. It's built into the code of the phone to prevent "over charging" Stock roms would show 100% because they didn't want average consumers freaking out. But they removed it in custom ROMs so battery % would show correctly
