Is it this battery life normal? brightness is on auto, 3G always on. (i think i used to go for like 18hours like this, not 10) Also charging from 0 to 100 takes like 3hours and 30mins, maybe even more, while i was on Boeffla-Kernel, in the app when the phone was on charger it said AC-700mAh charging, sometimes 600, every time i reconnect was between those two, sometimes even 500, like i was USB charging, and not using the stock 1000mAh charger :/ Sometimes when it goes to 100% it takes another 20mins to say, Battery fully charged and the light to turn green. Any help, advice, EDIT: in 60 minutes on AC Charger, it charged from 30 to 58%.

You may try to wipe cache in recovery. It worked for me. now i get almost a day and 12 hours of continuous use.
u have an average battery life as per your usage
whats more consuming is your screen usage time 1hr 34min which is not that bad
plus your nfc and smart stay are on which consumes battery
try to wipe cache in recovery,it might help
i tryed that, also reflashed the rom, i notice when i turn off wifi and 3g, the phone last's long, normal, but when i turn those radios the battery simply drains by doing nothing, also connections of 3g drops, so i talked with local S3 users and they have similar issues, so now i flashed other modem (mk6) (instead of mk3 T-Mobile), will try to see if it is the modem

i am having a quite unusual problem with the battery on my TP. it is hard to explain but i will try my best to do so. While i was casually surfing the web while on the charger i noticed that my battery started to drain ( this is the more ordinary problem that has been posted on many threads ) but this new situation is. The indicator lights and meters within the TP indicate that the battery is charging yet it still drains. I tried turning it completely off and removing the battery and then putting it back in and charge the unit for one hour. After one hour it charged to 20% which is reasonable enough for normal use, so i turn it back on and continue to use the device again the TP still indicates that the battery is charging after listening to about 7 songs i get a very low battery indicator warning (at the same time the battery indicates its charging) there is NO overheating and when the battery reaches 0% it does not die the screen just goes off and i can turn it back on and still recieve the low battery warning but what i cannot do is use data or even turn the phone radio back on. I am on the NFS 1.05 ROM, any suggestions?

Try to get a charger with an output of at least 1 A. It could be that your charger is not powerful enough to compensate for the drainage. The other thing is that WM' battery indicator flat out sucks... it is like Windows file system when it is desperately trying to tell you how much time you have left before your task is done (2 minutes jumping to 15 seconds jumping to 54 minutes jumping to 2 seconds jumping to 3 days, etc)..
Flash to another rom and see if the behavior still remains.... I doubt NFS messed up that badly with power settings, but it is always worth giving it a shot.
yea i doubt its the rom either as i was having overheating/drainage problems on stock but it wasnt anything like this
This is my first post, hope you can understand what happens to my phone (SE X10 mini pro - U20i).
When I connect it to my wall charger, it starts charging normally, no problem. If I charge it overnight, what it is supposed to happen is that it charges to 100%, then it stops automatically the charging process, "waits" untill the battery drops a given percentage, not sure how much, and then charges again, and repeats this process until I disconect the phone. This is the normal process, and usually does this.
But some times, what it does is charging to 100%, stops charging and it remains in the 100%!!! Never drops, and it discharges the battery much more rapidly!! I have System Pannel, and when this happens I see that the processor is allways in the 10%, which is not usual in standby... and as the battery is discharging, the % doenst change, still shows 100%, when it is maybe in the 3800 mV. When I disconnect my phone, the % starts decreasing rapidly, as if it was trying to "compensate", ah in maybe 30/60 minutes reaches 50%... This is not normal, and I think it is some process that stops associating the % of the battery with the voltage.
Ever heard of something like this...? My phone is temporarily rooted with Z4mod, with stock firmware. 2.1
try this:
install xrecovery
make sure your battery is at 100% (let it charge over night)
go into xrecovery (press back while the SE logo appears while booting)
go to "advanced options"
delete battery stats
and drain your battery till your device turns off, doesnt matter how
No go. Doesn't solve it... Going to try to charge it tonight with the background data option turned on. Have it turned off to save battery. Probably won't solve it, but it doesn't hurt to try.
This weekend I've charged it WHILE turned off, during the night. Got it off the charger, symbol in screen appeared with full charge, turned it on, it immediatly shown 18% battery left... This is really weird. Can it have anything to do with not using the original charger? I'm using the original as a travel charger, in my bag, in case I need it at work, and at home I use a Nokia charger, with an output of 890 mA, and with the adapter to microUSB (which actually gets very hot). Do you think it can have anything to do with this issue?
Turn off data traffic and "sync now", you will save battery.
With data traffic and sync on, my phone last just one day ( about 24h ).
With it off, It last about 2 ~ 3 days.
Result: I just turn it on, when is needed.
try turning off data traffic and as ur phone is rooted use SetCpu and auto killer memory optimiser....nd never over charge ur phone....charge it only when the battery is <10% and charge it until it gets completely charged....nd as soon it gets charged disconnect it.....nd set the SetCpu to ondemand and auto killer to optimum...see if that works for u..
lso get ur battery checkd if thats ok...
First of all it wouldnt charge past 99%, And then, after one hour of standby it went down to 88%!!
Cm7 official stable release.
Me too no pass 99% :S
Try to download a "battery caliberation" app and do that, also burn it to 0% and charge to 100% while the phone is off..i heard that this might help.
Now i will flash Nottachtrix and do what i wrote Good luck man !

The charging thing is something that is (seemingly) well known throughout the community. I have tried to do the calibration, but it doesn't seem to work that well (at least for me). There is a thread around here somewhere for fixing the issue. I just have never tried it due to work reasons.
The charging past 99% is a known issue with most of the ROMs. There is a thread in here that takes you step by step to get it to display 100%. Basically....
Charge the phone long enough to where you know it should be at 100% even though it is still displaying 99%.
Power the phone off while it is still connected to the charger and then pull the battery.
With the battery pulled, power the phone back on until you see the battery indicator with the "?".
Put the battery back in and reboot.
You will then see the display of 100% with the phone still connected to the charger. The only downside is that as soon as you disconnect the charger, it will drop back to 99%. I have done this multiple times.

I read good things about it.
First of all, use Wipe Battery Stats function at recovery.
1 - Discharge all your smartphone battery;
2 - Connect it to the wall charger and don't turn it on;
3 - Wait till it shows you 100%;
4 - Remove the battery, wait 10 seconds, put it again and keep it turned off;
5 - Wait 30 minutes, keep it connected to the wall charger and press power button till it turns on;
6 - Wait 30 minutes, keep it connected to the wall charger and use Battery Calibration App to calibrate it;
It doesn't make any sense, but sometimes, after step 5, i prefer connect it to usb port in a laptop or computer and wait one hour. It always worked with me.
It might solve your problem .
Wiping battery stats does nothing. it just takes a few charge cycles. If it's a new rom and it's draining fast it's also cause you are probably playing with it a lot

It could be a bluesleep problem... Install CPU Spy App and look if it goes into deep sleep mode. If not, there is a fix for it.
Aside from the OP's issue with the battery draining quickly, why does it matter if it doesn't show 100%?
Nothing can ever 'really' be 100% charged because as soon as you take it off mains it is instantly on the battery at lets say 99.9999%...
As long as the battery doesn't drain quickly I couldn't care less if its showing 99 or 100%.
The problem was that it was draining very quickly to smt like 50% and then it would hold longer...I just wiped everything, restored a neutrino 2.7 nandroid backup i had, flashed the jug fix v2 and now it shows 100%
I decided to replace my 2+ year old Atrix battery with an OEM battery. Since then I can charge to 100% just fine (ran the battery fixing apps and did a wipe battery cache thing) but the battery discharges visibly, like down 4% for a single google search, and gets stuck at 1% for many hours. I used an app to see the voltage and it tops out at 4.2v and levels out at I think 3.5v and dies around 3.2-3v if I remember correctly. Anyway, I just don't know how long the phone will last but it is lasting most of the day. Even turning setcpu off I run for hours with a battery drain app and stay at 1%.
Using MROM-1-0.20120505-olympus. I think this is still considered CM7.
Kernel 2.6.32.59-MB860-MROM-ga43d614.
I dont see your question...
Any way I think you need a few charge-discharge cycles to make your battery statistics work.
Wrong section dude

Okay, the question is what can I do to make the drop more linear rather than going from 100 to 1 in an hour and staying at 1 the rest of the day.
And I've charged discharged half a dozen times with no change.
As you have tried, I don't have better ideas.
I like checking the voltage reading, rather than the percentage value. It usually makes more sense above 3.6V.
Delete all files (or even better copy somewhere for backup) in /data/battd/. Turn off your phone, charge it few hours after led become green, remove battery with charger connected, wait for "?", place battery again and charge it for about 1 hour, turn phone on with charger connected, check battery level, wait to 4200mV and 100%, finally disconect charger. Use phone without recharging until it turn itself off or reach 1%. Then charge it and use normally.
I did it with new battery and now works great, charge to 4200mV, 100% and discharge to 1%

I have the EXACT same problem as original poster, and i see my battery dying to 1% within couple of hours, and then remaining on 1% for rest of the day! This is misleading and most of time i have no idea how much more my phone will go on. All this despite the fact that i bought my battery paying 35 bucks to get it directly from Amazon!
Tried doing what Zeljko1234 has said in his post above, but to no avail. The problem remains as it is. Anybody else faced this issue and found a resolution? Will hard reset or rooting help? Appreciate any help
I want to share the battery problems are back again after upgrading to Oreo ROM(new bootstacks) with a new battery.
So battery life issue? Im so happy i did not update to oreo from B9 7.1.1
Wipe cache partiton?
also, Do the whole 0 to 100% thing to calibrate battery. install gsam and Akku app to see battery info,check for anomalies.
maybe this helps, maybe it does not.
when my battery is charged for 68% and i unplug it on 68%...1 minute later it sits on 69%.It charged 1% when not plugged in.Or when my phone boots on 53%,i unlock with pin and then it drops to 52% and is stuck on 52% for a long time.Weird.
I would support Pruikki about wiping cache partition and calibrating your battery. I had problems similar to yours and have solved them (hopefully) with both of the above.
My battery is the original one and the device is about/a little bit more than 2 years, currently on B03 Oreo. I am sure my battery is still OK but after recent OS upgrades it went mad. The phone will turn off sometimes at 51% battery, sometimes it will reach 100% in 40 minutes from almost empty, or I will see battery charging 1 percent up every few seconds. Or even the phone will turn off at 23% but will show more than 50% immediately when connected to the charger.
I'd try discharging the phone completely until it reaches zero but real zero. The last time it happened to me, the phone turned itself off at 17% claiming it was empty. I started it on and the battery showed 17% (not zero) and stayed at 17 for quite a while. However the first time the phone got loaded, like watching YouTube video in the browser, it turned off again on its own. This repeated a few times until I made sure that the battery was completely squeezed off and not only I couldn't start it but when connected to the charger it shows the left yellow bar and no percentage.
Then you need to connect it to the charger but not turn on and make sure you charge it to 100% while it is off. I'd keep it at 100% for a few minutes to make sure it really reached it. Then you start the phone and let it boot. It is recommended that you repeat this procedure again - discharge again to 0, charge to 100% un-powered, then start over - although once should be OK too. In my case, the phone does no longer turn off before reaching zero but I am yet to see how long this will last. I wiped off the cache partition too since it stores various data that may interfere with the settings, especially after software update.
This does not work,i also recommend you dont do this...this make the battery worst...i already tried.
its possible to charge to 100 but when you unplug it,it goes to 99 directly.
I also tried other bootstacks with other twrp version.And sometimes it shows other battery% when i did not plugged the charger
For me it works but I am stock. I'd sometimes charge it to 93-94% before 7am, will use it slightly throughout the day for Instagram, Whatsapp, some browsing, music listening on the way to and from work (1 hour at least total) with about 1-1.5 hours total SoT and around 8pm I'd still have some 15-8% when connected to the charger.
This is after wiping out the cache partition and doing 0-to-100% charging while off and no restart yet. Battery really goes 99-98% upon starting it upon the battery calibration process when the charger is off, still it works OK now. I noticed that after every restart phone memories the battery state prior to the restart and sometimes will turn off at this level long before zero. I don't say it will be the same for you, but this is how it does for me. I don't dare changing the original battery myself and will keep the phone for as long as it functions, even if I buy something else.
Nothing, really nothing even of the current flagships (apart from LG but there are loads of other issues there) offers dedicated second amp, fully rectangular screen at 2K (not the sh*tty FHD+), not to mention the amazing front facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos with extra internal settings (not just on and off button), and 3.5mm phone jack and not some mediocre adapters all at the same time. Sorry, but if ZTE offered the same device with bigger battery, improved camera and SD 855, it would have overtaken the sales of any so claimed flagships all around, even if it matched their prices. At least I would have gone for ZTE again...
