I have had my White AT&T Note for about a week. It is running Saurom RCV with the HoloNote kernel OCed to 1782mHz. I am having a really weird battery issue where it will drain to about 5% in a couple of hours regardless of what I am doing to it, then that 5% will last the rest of the day but the phone, thinking the battery is about to die, wont let me do anything (ie. listen to music or take a picture). Then, yesterday it started not charging all the way, it will stop at about 94% and then the notification that its fully charged will come up. No matter what I do it will not go past 94%. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
have you try to recalibrate your battery stats through CWM?
try that first........charge your battery to full......clear stats....drain all the battery...then recharge to full......that should help you with ur problem
First take the battery out and make sure you don't see anything on the contacts (phone or battery). Then leave the phone on until it dies on its own - easiest if you use something that will keep the screen on. Then charge overnight, unplug, replug and let it charge again until it stops. Turn it on, go through your day and report back.
I have tired both of your suggestions. I left it streaming a movie from Netflix and it took two movies at full brightness (or as full as it would let me) to kill off the last 5%. I apologize as I should have specified that I am posting on here having already tried conventional calibration techniques. Also, the stopping at 94% only started AFTER I used CWM to reset the battery stats.

I've never used CWM. Have you tried using it again?
I have noticed another "quirk", it seems that when my phone is sleeping for a long period of time, more than an hour, it will usually display more percentage than when I set it down. For instance I decided not to charge it last night as I was hoping it would die in the night however when I got up this morning it read 51% whereas it was at 26% when I left it. I am starting to think that there is something wrong with the hardware. Opinions?

I didn't nitice this till last Tuesday. I forgot to charge my note the night before, and when I woke up I had 19% left. Around 10am I received a notification that my battery is critically low. I wasn't going home till 12, and I was texting heavily for 2 hours through whatsapp on 4g network, and nothing, the phone didn't turn off. I got home and plugged it in while it was still on. The only thing the phone did was turn down the brightness completely, im not sure if that 's the reason for the extra 2 hours, but that seems too much. Before i plugged in the phone it had 23 hours on battery with 4 hours 44 mins screen on time.

Has anybody experienced any of these issues on a stock note? Also, I tend to agree, if Samsung had really figured out a way to make the end of the battery last that long we probably wouldn't be having this issue.

I exchanged my Note for a replacement at the store and that has made a world of difference. It would seem that my suspensions about my hardware were correct. If you are having the same issues I recommend a replacement.
Thanks!
Does anybody know why there's a boost in battery % when the phone reboots?
Is it a software bug or a battery problem?

mine does that to with 1.54 software...
Even worst, last night I've left my phone charging and when I checked it this morning it had 1% lol wtf?... it stayed 12hours plugged in... rebooted it and it started charging again.
Going back to stock rom from the carrier... or .544 file.

Nonsence , i started using the stock kernel and i got AMAZING battery life , it surpasses double the sustainability ...
*note the spikes that go up is not me charging , sometimes when i look at the phone for example is 25 % and when i wake it up after an hour or so its like 30 % , idk why this happens but it happend like 3-4 times
Well... Don't know why then. ..
Maybe i have a defective phone or battery.
Anyway, i just flashed again the .544 firmware,updated through ota to .54 , and didn't root this time just to check things out.
Either i have a software issue or defective phone/phone charger.
I noticed someone telling that the phone should charge in about one hour and mine doesn't do that. The two times i charged it, it took a lot longer. In almost two hours it reached about 70%.. so there is/was something definitely wrong.

Yeah...do you have your phone rooted?

its about calibration, you use it, it drains more, so it shows % of battery remaining like using, turn sleep mode for a while, battery will calibrate and show you more % because phone doesnt drain much

I understand your point of view but that does not make any sense, since no other brand does that type of reading.
I'm sure it is a software glitch or malfunction that causes.
The remaining battery % is the battery you have left. I've never heard of a % if you use it and % if it's idle, and IMHO doesn't make sense.
If anyone could confirm this, would be great.
tks
I also experience a boost of 1-2% when I leave the phone idle for hours..But the flickering values during reboot-isnt that an inefficient usage of the battery by the OS? Can it b fixed? It sucks to reboot the phone often to increase my battery...But it only works around 2-3 times in a single charge session..after that it drops during reboot

casca-the phone charging fully in an hour is simply bogus...It takes an extra 1-2 hrs after hitting 100% to reach the "Battery Full" state..

Yeah mate, true. Mine takes about 50 minutes to reach 80% and another 60 minutes to reach 100%.
From what i have read on a couple of reviews the Xperia P has quick charge mode until the battery reaches about 80%
The Battery can b made more efficient..the extended standby mode is a life saver,..but what's the point of not using the phone?...wish the "extra charge" during reboot gets fixed when jb releases..What's the maximum backup for u all? I once got around 50 hrs,via frequent reboots...

I got my phone last 3days once with only sms calls z bit gaming and wifi / 3g and music but not much. Usually it lasts 2 days

Android 4.0.4 may have this problem
So, there's no fix right?
i have xperia p and sometimes when i put it on charger for example when its down to 3% it starts to charge but not raising percentage but when i reboot it shows real status.so its charged but somehow percentage bugged
where are you from and what file did you flash? generic world or central europe?
normal problem
I think it's a normal "problem",
while rebooting it's clearing the battery-cache.
and it's not only on your Xperia P, it's on iPhone too

Same here ics is so bugged..what does it take for Sony to give a clean version...JB might b even worse...
it was actually weirder than that guys... the phone was loosing battery % with the charger on!
for instance, if I pluged the phone at 40% at night, in the morning i would have 1% of battery... so, not only was the phone not showing the charge going up, it was actually showing it going down! lol
anyway, I think it has been solved and I the problem was I've flashed the generic world version instead of central europe one.
tks for the posts.
I was in England last week and I noticed on the last 2 days my battery not only drained itself much faster than usual, but it also recharged slower. When I got back home, I noticed if my phone was plugged in, and I used it, it still lost battery! I use the original charger, one thing I noticed after my trip though, was the two "blades" we plug in were closer to each other (they weren't parallel anymore) I kind of pushed them back to place but anyone can see the blades are slightly moved
Please help me auick this is very important!
EDIT : Usually I recharge my phone from 23h to 6h45,but today I noticed it only recharged when the phone is Off, and very slowly, it only made it to 51% merely adding the sentence cost 2% of battery while docked..

Probably the battery itself is dying?
S3 should be filly charged within 3,4 hours in most.
Or you may need to recalibrate your battery?
I have been into some situation like this:
1. 10% charging, after one time reboot it goes up to 50%, just in minute.
2. Battery from 95% drops to 50% with rate of 2% - 3% per minute.
What I do: drain battery to 0% and start fully charged it into 100% and then it seems to be fine through...

Why do I read about people claiming this phone charges fast? It takes forever.... My phone went completely dead last night has been on the wall charger for over an hour and is at 35%..... Am I missing something? My previous phone the optimus l9 charged way faster and before that my lg motion fully charged in under an hour.... Whats the deal?
Why are you letting it go completely dead? That is super hard on Lion battery packs.
Also what ROM are you running?

Assuming you are running a custom rom/kernel, make sure 'fast charge' is enabled. It makes a difference.

Didn't mean to let it completely die just forgot to put it on charge. Its not just from being dead though, even if its down to 50% its takes a long time to get to 100..... Im running slimbean with halo, will try turning on fast charge.
edit... guess it doesn't matter phone charged to maybe 40% before I left for work and it died again at work. This time it wont seem to charge back up or try to turn on.. Tried 3 chargers.... Guess I'll leave it on one and see what happens.... =-(
Its never taken me more than a hour to charge this phone

My phone eventually powered back up. Last night the battery was down around 27% percent. I put it on charge and watched an hour and 1/2 long movie and had some dinner. Went back to phone to see it around 70%. I did enable fast charge this time.
My new extended 4300mAh battery arrived, i inserted it and when the phone boot up, it showed that it has only 3% power, so i put the phone on charger(stock one), the battery charged to 100% in like 2hours,30mins, same as the original battery, witch i think it shouldnt, it should took more time because the battery is bigger, and now even it was discharging fast, and fast as 1hour and 30mins on battery with 30mins of screen on to 70%, is this normal? (i mean for a big battery, because thats the time i get from my old used battery) Does it take the phone some time to adapt to the bigger battery or? Can i do anything to help it?

nope, every app is closed with greenify, also 4hours on standby took 15% battery, so 8 hours(one night sleep) will take 30%, thats one third of the battery(a 4300mAh one) in standby gone in one sleep :/
You have either a fake or faulty battery, return it. Charging should have taken double the time at least.
