Last night I was have force close issues with a game so i did a soft reset(took battery out) and to my surprise it powered back on to 3% battery life. I lost over 60% battery life doing a soft rest.So i quiclky threw it on the charger and left it there all night. I woke up this morning afrer 8 hours of charging to only 28% battery life. I unplugged it and plugged it back in verified it was charging and took a shower and all that when I was finished and ready for work I looked at phone still charging and unplugged it and still only 28% battery life. Anybody else see this problem?
Try an actual reboot? Try to let the battery die and see what happens? Lastly did you try a hard reset?
Yes, I suspect the battery is not really down. Today I had the phone on charger, when I went to unplug I hit the button to wake up the phone and it said only 5% remaining and to plug it into the charger. I then unplugged and went into the battery widget and it said 99%, WTF. Once before it was fully charged, took it off the charger an in a minute or so it was dead, put it back on the charger and it took forever for it to get to 27% but as soon as it hit 29% it went straight to 100% instantly. I suspect the software.
There are a lot of people reporting similar battery issues. You might download battery monitor widget and put battery temps in the notifications bar because you might be having high battery temps, which can fry a battery. Some people have had batteries replaced but I'm not sure it isn't a general software issue with charging. Hopefully the upcoming update will take care if this.
Is there a good solution or quick way to see the actual % of the battery?
I always use battery life for accurate temp and % since the hero days

Are you running a custom rom? Might be a software issue when reporting the battery life. Could try a hard reset to verify.
How are you guys getting the battery to show in 1% increments?

There's various battery widgets on the market. I use batter monitor widget. It has a notificationbar display you can use without turning on the recording function.

Cool, thanks. I've been using battstatt pro and battery indicator pro and they just mimic the MoPho's displaying usage in 10's. I'll try the battery monitor widget.
Battery monitor widget was only showing in %10 increments for me.

Morning, I'm a Sprint Product Ambassador supporting the Launch of the Photon4G,
The app I'm using to monitor my battery in 1%'s is Battery Circle in the market by Adrian Ulrich, it is a taskbar widget so can be viewed in any screen.
You can also use Minimalistic Text to output an exact Battery % as well to place on the home screen or lock screen.

You have to turn on the 1% function in the settings.
I'm running pre-rooted GB and I sometimes notice that the battery icon shows charging when I unplugged it. And what's weird is that as the battery drains, the icons shows its charging from a lower and lower level. So if I wait to see when its at its lowest, I know how much battery it has Haha
Any body know how to fix it?

I'd like to know if there's a fix to this as well. Mine actually drains the battery super fast when this happens.
Since I got my rezound I have only ran Cleanrom 4.x+(with leaked firmware) and have noticed that although my charge light stays green my actually battery percentage will make it to 100% and then drop several percents and then charge back up to 100% again. This process lasts the entire time it is being charged. I do use juice defender but it never caused this issue before on my incredible(maybe a new feature?). Thanks for your input.
I have a screen capture of the charge graph from an app called battery monitor widget, but I am under 8 posts and cannot link

add http to the link!
If I remember reading it right it is designed to do that. That's why the percents drop to like 96 or so shortly after disconnecting...after that it drains at a slower pace. It just the top of the scale that is a bit funky, I wish I could find the post that described the charging process...because the drop in percentages after a full charge had me perplexed.

I thought that might be the case. Does this happening while the battery is charging though, or only after it's unplugged?

It happens to most all phones nowadays its designed to go to full charge then stop charging and then charge again all while plugged in. It prevents over charging the battery which will damage it.
Hi all.. I'm having this problem where there's a spike in my battery history even when i didn't plug in my charger it shows an increment in battery percentage.
Then it jumps down almost immediately.
Anyone else having this problem?
What can i do now before admitting it's battery faulty because my dealer won't replace it for me if it's still working.
Search in xda/google battery calibration
It's will help you

Recently I have replaced my SGS3 stock firmware by CM 11.2. Until now everything is OK except one little thing, when I charge my phone it doesn't reach 100% though charging for more than two hours and the LED became green.
I googled this issue and found lot of solutions but most of them talking about "calibration". If anybody faced something like this please tell me about your experience and do calibration really solve it?
I'd give it a few battery cycles

Calibration is a myth so ignore that, towards capacity the phone trickle charges so it can take quite a while to top up those last few percentage points.
Totally agree with @ghostofcain about battery calibration read this >> http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/ <<
