I was using my phone today while it was charging, I noticed for a while that my battery was about 70%, after a couple of minutes, when the battery it told me fully charged
I think that this occurs commonly as I had experienced very quick charges sometimes.
Secondly, I also face battery drops, like it drops usually from 60% to 40%, I rarely saw it in 50%'s.
What is going wrong? D':

So I was overclocking my Atrix 4g and benching it using Faux123's 1.45 Ghz kernel. CF Bench caused it to overheat and restart every time so I did the stupid task of putting it in the freezer (Yes the thing on top of a Refrigerator). And I didn't just put it in the freezer I put it near the part where the fan blows in the cold air. Apparently that wasn't a good idea since my phone suddenly Jumped from 60% battery to 19%. Basically loosing 40% of its charge. Followed by a FC and Reboot.
That night I wen't to sleep and plugged it into an AC charger, it was charging for about 12+ hours. And now my phone won't charge over 60% (Kind of makes sense with the 40% battery loss) and wont go past 1109 mAh ( it's a 1930 mAh battery).
My question is: Have I ****ed up 40% of my battery forever or this something that can be fixed. Note: I have already tried wiping the battery stats.
Try to take out your battery and plug your phone into a wall charger, after that place your battery back into your phone and let it charge

Thanks for the reply.
Should I wait until it has drained or not?
Shouldn't make a difference

If that doesn't work, try recalibrating the battery...

Thanks guys I managed to fix it by plugging it in without battery and then putting it in. however it.still showed 50% so.I went into recove.and cleared.battery stats and now its.at 100%

i had battery drain over 40% during night, with phone awake for a few mins in total.
when i'm carrying my phone around in my pocket, even when i'm using it, the battery don't drain that quick.
anyone got any similar problems?
been happening even when i had stock rom :/
Where you sleep, do you have poor mobile signal? This will burn excessive battery

I put in a new fully charged battery and took a nap and after 4 hours of just stand by my phone was down to 95%. I checked badass battery monitor and saw this. Don't really understand it though. It seems this is what was waking my phone keeping it awake.

That's not a big decrease at all if your phone was on for 4 hour just sitting there ..

Check your app manager to see if it constantly running in the background. I tried using a monitor and app killer but I just got too anal and when back to doing everything manually. Check all the variables as well for usage like screen brightness, is the phone on vibrate, etc?

If you want your phone to drop less then 1% per hour try a car battery instead...
can you connect the note to your car battery?
There is a known issue with the calculation of Android System in 4.0.3:

1% battery drop per hour is normal if you have synching enabled and are on wifi or 3g/4g.

I thought when people talked about the 1% per hour they meant while in use.
My note seems pretty good while on standby but when I use it it tends to drop 1% every ten minutes. I guess my disappointment stems from this being a 2500 mah battery. If I remember correctly my rezound extended battery was around there and lasted forever. I guess I just expected more.

So you expected your phone to last 4 days (100 hours) with constant usage?
Come on man.. I hate to rag on people, but use your brain!

5% discharge in standby mode over a 4 hour period is actually pretty good. I wouldn't be too concerned about it.

Yea I had my battery replaced and got an extra one. After putting them through their paces it seems to have helped. I've debloated quite a lot of junk and set up auto starts through room toolbox

Your cells won't 'break in' and exhibit their best life before a few cycles.
To get the best out of your batteries, fully charge them initially, then run them down to 20%. Always try and charge your battery at 20%, running Lithium cells down flat shortens the life of the electrolyte more than anything except excessive heat.
Once your battery hits 100%, take it off the charger. Modern chargers usually switch to 'trickle' mode or turn off completely at 100%. Trickle charging overnight won't hurt the battery too much, so this second part is optional. Some people will tell you that continually 'topping up' Lithium cells is the best thing for them. While not entirely true, the impact is so minimal as to be negligible.
A mistake a lot of users make is to draw conclusions about battery life within the first week of owning a phone. There's no way your cell has had enough time to 'hit its straps' within a week, unless you're discharging two or three times a day.
Hope these few little hints help!

That's the ICS leak, rooted, with 384/1512 clocks and the conservative Governor. In and out of fringe 3G all day at work, no WiFi.

I thought you couldn't change the governor our anything on the stock ics kernel. Every time I try to change it it just goes back to min and max at 1566

Screen alone takes more than 73% of my battery usage lol
Was just curious to know how long it takes you guys to charge your EVOs. I think my phone takes a ridiculous amount of time to charge and the battery seems to discharge at a faster rate than when I first got the phone. I'm am currently charging my phone from a complete drain. It has been 6 hours and it is still only 90% finished. That can't be correct?

Depending on how many accounts you have and at what frequency they update determines your battery life dramatically even if being charged. I have 8 different accounts which the phone says is high but it still takes around 3 to 4ish hours to fully charge from zip. If you basically put your phone in airplane mode or just turn phone off it'll charge fully in what feels like an hour but really probably an hour and a half or so.

Wow. My phone charges incredibly fast. So fast that I never trust it. It'll go from 20%-80% in 40 min. But the last hump from 99%-100% takes a while.

I'm honestly not sure what to think. Next time ill try it with the phone off. But as it stands two hours have passed since I made this post but the battery light still isn't green though the battery does appear to be full according to its icon.

I'm in the same boat. It takes forever to charge. I remember I could be around 25& on the evo and would charge for probably 25 minutes before work and would be fully charged or almost fully charged.
Mine charges faster than my S2 and that was fast. I went from 45%to 95 in a hr.

Mine charges from 20%-90% in less than an hour, but from 90%-100% takes almost an hour. I assume its just the way it displays battery% or the amps drop down near the end.

Hey guys
My phone's battery just increased 1% after i took it out of charging and used it for couple of minutes.
It was 93% when i took it out of charging and used it for like 3-5mins.. instead of dropping it increased to 94% LOL
See the screenshot taken of battery monitor widget..
The green indicator on the left mentions charging while yellow is for usage discharging.. you can see the battery increase LOL
