I have an OG Motorola Droid that was working just fine until I disable a few system apps (which stated "safe to remove") with the System Cleanup app.
Ever since that, the phone dropped to 1%.
When I went home, it died. I hooked it up, charged it a bit (around 20% I believe) - and it was working just fine.
And it all of a sudden went back to 1%.
I tried the Battery Calibration app, it claimed that the phone was still at 1%.
Then the phone Randomly died - BUT when I turned it back on, it was claimed to be charged at 56%.
I tried using it, and it dies Again. Then when I turned it back on, it was claimed to be at 1%.
I went into the CWM-Based Recovery, did a factory reset, wiped Everything (including battery stats), reinstalled the Jelly Bean rom I have on my android and it's kernel and gaaps, and when the phone turned back on, it claimed to be charged at 60%.
Then, it turned Back off.
I turned it back on, claims to be at 1% again.
If I try to charge it, it seems to Stay at 1%.
I swear - I Know the battery is still charging, as it's very warm. I have no idea why this keeps happening.
None of this had happened Until I used System Cleanup.
Even though I did a factory reset, are the disabled apps still disabled?
Also, is there anything else I can do besides buy a new battery? What if the battery isn't the reason why this is happening?
Please help me, and thank you.
(Status Report: I tried to get into the CWM-Based Recovery without the charger to see what happens - it loads up, but shuts down about 3 minutes afterwards.
I have just now removed the battery for about 5 minutes, just put it back on the charger, and now it's at 5%...
Turned the phone off - it wouldn't come on unless I plugged it in. Plugged it in, and now it's at 60%.
Did it again, now it's back to 1%.
Did it again, now it's at 56%.
...someone please help me, lol!)

This morning, I woke up to find me 3vo plugged in, but the light was off and I couldn't turn the phone off. My first thought was that it died.....while plugged in over night? So I pulled the battery, put it back in, plugged it in, and the red charging light came on, but only half the brightness it normally is. It also wouldn't turn on and the light turned off after a couple of seconds. I then pulled the battery, waited a minute, put it back in, plugged in, and it seemed to be charging like normal. I turned it on but it took a couple of minutes to boot up, much longer than any normal boot up time.
On a separate occasion, I had 60% battery life one afternoon. I checked my phone 15 minutes later and it said the battery was 5% or less and then shut down a couple of seconds after I turned the screen on.
There was nothing to link these two incidents. I'm trying to figure out if it is a problem with software, hardware, or battery. I can't make the problem happen, so its going to be interesting if I need to take it to a sprint store for a replacement/repair. Thanks for any input or ideas.
Phone is stock, no root.
I know I've had to pull my battery for unknown reasons to start it. The only time I ever so the led at half brightness is when the phone is booting without quickboot (battery pull clears memory for a quickboot). It's like putting your computer in sleep mode, your computer sends fast startup information to volatile memory (ram), so it boots off fast RAM instead of slow hard drives.
As for your 60 to 5 in 2.5 (seconds). I'd try wiping your battery stats in recovery. Make sure you have a FULL charge, wipe battery stats, fully drain the battery, the fully charge. Your battery meter should be accurate afterwards...

So this morning when I unplugged my phone from charging all night, like I always do, the notification bar said the phone was still charging. I plugged charger back in and unplugged and it went away. A couple hours later, I noticed my battery was draining extremely fast. I check the battery in the Settings>About phone>Battery Usage, and it said the phone had been on battery for 24hrs. Meaning the phone never recognized it had charged. I refreshed and no change. I wiped battery stats in recovery and it seemed to work. I later charged the phone to 100% and the problem started again. Phone kept showing the setcpu charging bolt in the notification bar. When I checked battery usage, it just showed 0 seconds on battery and there is nothing there. No display time, no android OS, nothing. I decided to flash uNamed, coming from serendipity. After flash, battery usage still showed 0 seconds on battery. I pulled the battery, and then ended up in a batter charging/battery empty bootloop sort of thing. If I pressed all three buttons (vol up vol dwn and pwr) it would take me to download mode. I had to flash an odin kernel just to get phone working again, but battery stats are still screwy. Any ideas?
Edit > my phone keeps showing charging bolt symbol when its not plugged in. Got it to turn off by plugging/unplugging phone several times. While sitting in my pocket the phone made that noise it makes when you plug it in. Now my phone thinks its charging again. Wtf

my phone turned off last night due to no battery and when i went to turn it on this morning after charging all night..its stuck at a frozen screen..any suggestions?
I have run into that before, I fixed mine by taking out the battery and putting it back in. Your probably tried that but in case you didn't try it.
Edit: Make sure it is not plugged in when you take the battery out
Today I ran out of battery ( I plugged the charger when the phone was at 2%, but it froze). I turned it off, and the battery charging screen showed up. Let it charge for a little while, tried turning it on, then froze at Samsung screen. If I turn it off it, turns back on and freezes at the same point, and thus a bootloop.
I can enter recovery and it says that battery is at 20%. What's wrong?
I went into recovery again and it says 37% now even the battery charging screen drawing looks like it's good way less!
just let it juice up for 5 hours.

Nevermind, it was a coincidence with this damn LS8 bootloop bug: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126442
factory reset then.
Sent from the little guy
yup, it was fixed by doing that. I'm charging it to 100% and going back to LSJ, I'm done with LASS8.
Recently I have noticed that my phone is only lasting about 4 hrs from a 100% charge. It seems to be getting hotter than normal from regular use. I tried so resets, and looking at what is using the battery the most. Other than the screen, nothing stood out. Decided to try a battery pull. This is where some weirdness started. When I put the battery back in, the phone would not turn on, even though the battery had a charge. I discovered that when I plugged it in and then tried to turn it on, I would get a large grey battery graphic on the screen with a rotating ring in the middle until the phone recognized the battery. Once it was recognized, and the battery showed some green, I was able to turn it on. It doesn't seem to be the battery, because I swapped batteries with my wifes phone, and her phone starts up normal, and mine is the same. My phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked using Adam's method. Even tried a factory reset and installed Clean Rom, no change.
I've seen people with other charging problems, but not a problem like this.
Any help/suggestions?
Thanks
