Hey all
Well this problem has been persistent for a while now, even when I was on my phone pre root and pre custom ROM.
Phone is with Optus in Australia. The problem is sometimes when I reboot the phone(mostly when its at about 50 - 60%) and it starts back up, I end up on about 10% battery and it insist I plug the charger in. All I did was restart the phone and lost 40% battery.
The odd thing is the battery slowly ramps back up, 11%, 12%, 15% and so on, sometimes back up to about 35%
What the hell could be the cause of this? if I don't restart the phone I don't have a problem...
Heres a picture to show what I mean
Does the phone hang at bootup or shutdown? No sign of the CPU chugging away on either?

Nope. Takes about 5 seconds to switch off and about 10 seconds to switch back on.

You can try to claibrate your battery with the app battery calibrator or following these instructions (i would recommend trying both). If it didn't help, maybe send it back to Samsung?
I would charge battery 100% .
Wipe battery stats via CWM recovery .
Charge phone again to 100% and use it for three days thats enough to recalibrate SGS2 .
Still problems you have to try another battery first .
As warranty is now void you will need to unroot restore firmware and zero custom rom counter if you need service .
jje
this is normally. i have the same. just wipe battery stats, off the phone and charge to 100% , unplug the cable, remove battery for 1-2 mins and charge to 100% again.
if i were you, i'll just flash using odin and after first boot do *2767*3855# and let it do couple of charge cycles.... that is full charge use it full charge use it.....
and stay away from any restores for couple days
remember that code will wipe you internal storage
I had the same problem before
but now it is ok
i use battery calibration by neema from market
then watch the voltage it should be 4.200
or slightly less or more then calibrate your battery
I noticed that this was occure after heavy use
and then reboot
after I charged my phone with SE vivaz charger
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.
You can try the latest nightly: update-cm-7-20120508-NIGHTLY-olympus-signed.zip
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%
when the charge is above 50%, it doesnt auto shutdown but when i play music or surf the internet at below 50%, it automatically shut's down and my batery heat is only 40%(?)and doesn't reboot.Has anybody experienced this?
Hey Addak,
Please provide info about your ROM and kernel, so we can check if there any issue or just suggest another one
Regards

Try some battery calibration, provided by zimmerAndy in Feralab´s Discussion Thread
HOW TO -
1. U need to drain your battery untill it went 0%, it will switch off ur phone for sure lol... than try to turn it on untill it wont even start/vibrate....
2. Now after completely draining your battery...connect it to the charger (To the socket charger not to the computer - we needs to get full voltage)
3. When it become 100%, do not disconnect the phone from socket wait untill 1 to 2 hours....(u can start your phone BUT DON'T USE IT )
3a. if your battery drained till its connected to the charger in 1 to 2 hours disconnect your charger and charge it again untill it gets 100% and repeat it untill battery stops draining on charging. than continue to the step 4.
3b. if your battery is not draining in this 1 to 2 hours, than go with the step 4.
4. Now the phone is fully charged disconnect the charger , reboot into xrecovery and wipe battery stats, reboot your phone, when lights gone off remove battery from the phone, and put it back and power on the phone.
5. leave it on charge and charge it untill 100%, disconnect the charger and reboot the phone, after power on
5a. if your battery percentage is 100% u done with the battery caliberation.
5b. if not than charge it again and reboot and check for the percentage, repeat it untill u get 100% battery on power on.....
i have a serious issue with my device , my device indicating wrong battery status (which i think so) , whenever i try to charge my device it starts charging 1% after every 2-3 sec and even more faster discharging rate, so i changed my battery with another one but still same result . my phone take 10% of juice within 30 sec of uses.
the problem begins when i switched back to stock ics rom after using a lot of roms without flashing the kernels . now i tried everything i m on stock rom with stock sony kernel , even more i tried stock GB rom but same result again .
currently i m on.....
stock .587 firmware
formatted D-card
locked bootloader
stock SONY kernel.
How can i solve this issue. please help me, its so annoying
thanx!
AW: battery drains on my xperia ray ??
download this from playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
charge till 100%, start the app, press calibrate and then unplug your phone from charger. your phone must be rootet.
after calibration use your phone till it has only 1 or 2 % left, then charge again to 100% without interrupt. dont calibrate again.
if the problem still isnt fixed with calibration, try this:

...It could be that your power meter has gone wonky and this can be reset by charging the phone to 100% and then removing the battery and the usb cable from the phone for 10 minutes. Return the battery to the phone and charge it back up to 100%.

My friend, i can see you have problem with the batery life. I don't know if any of you has noticed this, but when the phone is charging and it reaches 100%, you shouldn't remove the charger. The phone is still charging even after reaching 100%,sometimes for half an hour. If you want to see when the phone is fully charged, go to Settings-About phone-Phone status. In the first field you can find if the phone is or is not fully charged. Try this and let's see what happens. I hope i can help some of you.
see the pictures u can understand...
Before charing is complete evn when it is 100% charged
The acctual 100% charged...

thanx for replying but the problem is still there ,i perform all the operation as u guys mentioned but no good result :crying:
I once had problems with the Mediaserver which was draining my batterie.
it did so because of 2 Videos he didn't recognize, i also heard the Mediaserver can run crazy if the sd card is broken.
So which app is using your batterie that much?
AW: battery drains on my xperia ray ??
have you tried flashing other roms? is there the same problem?
EDIT: forget my question, just saw that you said you flashed GB rom too

Can you post a screenshot from the first battery screen? That one will show which process are using the battery up. In places of the screen shot you posted, it looks like there is a problem with your phone staying awake when the screen is off.

battery is not draining, actually it is showing wrongly .... every time after removing battery it shows actual amount of battery remaining , yesterday i charged my phone several time until it reached actually 95% and then i starts playing temple run, the battery indicator reaches at 1% within 20 mins and then it remains at 1% charged until 3 hours of continuous gaming and then shuts off, then i put it on charging and it reaches 100% within 15%
and yesterday night i put my phone again into charging and today morning it is showing 100% and after 6 hours of moderate use it is still 100%

great battery life
did you try full wipe in recovery + wipe battery stats in recovery and flash stock rom again?
I got my motherboard changed a few days ago by samsung. Now i am facing a problem with my battery stats. My phone shows only 15% battery even if it is fully charged [Shows 100% after fully charged, but as soon as I remove the charger it again shows 15%] and when i use my phone it drains normally but problem is that after decreasing battery by 15% it automatically switch off.
When I restart the phone, it again shows 15% battery. so this cycle keeps going on till the battery fully drains.
This is the weirdest problem I have seen.
So any one who can help me please give your valuable time to resolve this type of problem.
Thank you.
P.S. I've tried factory reset, Battery calibration, and even flashed the stock rom again via odin.

The problem is with the board, you cant always assure the quality of the board the fix and its compatibility, if u are under warranty, service centre is the best option, first report this issue to samsung and then directly go to service centre and talk with the centre manager, not the mudheads on the reception.
