Hi guys I really need help:
Its been a few months that my s3 was weird. It would drain really fast and when it got to low charge, the screen would flicker and freeze on whatever it was on. Whenever I opened any power hungry apps at whatever percentage, the flickering would still happen. The only way to prevent this flickering was by having it on AC, on which there was never any flickering so the phone was constantly on 100.
However when not on charge, the battery would fall really quickly I'm talking 1% every few minutes. It would then eventually reach zero and die. But the weird thing is as soon as I plug it in to be charged, it would suddenly be 45% or somewhere around there? This confused me I thought maybe it was the battery so i bought a new genuine battery but no luck as the exact same thing happens.. I am out of ideas I don't know what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: UPDATE: Here's an example of what the battery life is like: I started a video recording and it went down 6% in 5 mins then 12% in 10 mins then 18% in 15 mins so it goes down exactly 6% every 5 mins for a video recording. I am not sure if this is hardware or software.

Do you use stock rom? Or custom? If custom then check to see if you have right bootloader and kernel installed or any other custom rom related problems. Or you could just download a stock rom and flash it then check to see if your problem persists, if it does then it might be a hardware problem which we cannot help you with.
Replace battery, screen flickering with a battery above 1% means your device isn't displaying the real charge, I forgot where I read but if you let the device discharge to 0% and wait for sometime your battery will 'charge on its own', know that this charge wouldn't last as long as a normal charge;
I fully discharged an old battery then leave it overnight, I came back with 70% power, went browsing for awhile and the screen begins to flicker at 30% and it eventually froze and turned itself off.
Tl;dr buy a new battery

Yes thats exactly what i thought its not showing the correct percentage. I bought a new battery but problem still persists so I was thinking that my phone isnt displaying the correct percentage for some reason it isnt a problem with consumption instead it doesnt display the correct power. SO new battery didnt fix it. Thanks for your reply.

No need to check all that if you use stock rom and didnt flash any custom rom, use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.batteryapps.batterycalibration and follow all instructions and check to see if your problem is fixed.

No it didn't fix. I either need software that will display the correct battery percentage or just fix this problem or check my phone if it has problems or the hardware?

Is anyone else having issues with this phone loosing around 20% to 30 % after a restart. It doesn't happen everytime but sometimes when the phone is turned off and on the battery drops from, for example , 50% to 30%. I had this issue with official roms and unofficial roms.
Hi mali019, this happen to me as well, i'm not sure this is cause by the battery itself or the phone itself. My phone will auto restart when the battery usage is @ 4x percent. After itself restarting. The battery will drop to 33 percent every time. I'm swapping a battery with a fren of mine and started testing today. I'm using KG6 roms.
never had that problem...
Do you guys quit apps or just press the home button? Use the in-built task manager, it's good.
I don't use taskmanagers. Only use the one that comes with the phone. This problem happend on every rom i tried. From 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 . I'm gonna buy the new 2000mah and see if it happens again.
Just now i pulled out the battery without turning the phone off and battery percentage dropped from 41% to 22% . Currently I'm using KG6

Isn't that what I've said?
Anyway, you can try installing Watchdog from Market to see if you have apps misbehaving and what is using you cpu.

The problem is not an app using the battery. The problem is the phone loosing 20-30 % percent battery after a restart. The phone is not displaying the correct battery percentage.
I even had the battery percentage increasing after a restart without being pluged in to a power point. For example I'll restart the phone for any reason with a battery percentage off 50%. After the restart the battery percentage will show 23%. Sometimes the percentage will increase like its on charge. It will go up to 30%.
Never had this problem better get checked the battery in Samsung service center
Said that because it happened to me that if the phone gets hot, percentage drops. Later, it returns to a higher percentage.
I was experiencing the auto restart and instant battery drain issue while using ninphetamine 2.1.x
After changing to other kernel. No more auto restart nor instant battery drain issue.
You might need to a battery calibration.
I got a new battery ( Perks of working at a phone shop ) hopefully it will fix the issue
I also notice that it takes quit some% after each restart but not 20%. Actually the battery was good when I first got this phone. But after 175 apps installed, battery isn't good anymore.

Today I left my phone in my room and after an hour I wanted to check my emails before going to bed the screen did not turn on so even after a long press on the power button, so I removed the battery (it was ice cold) after replugging it booted and voila there was a huge drop 50 percent perhaps? So I said to myself, I think I left a resource intensive app running and forgot about it and went to bed without plugging the charger, 3 hours later I wake up thinking it would give me a critical or charge your phone dialog, but instead I have a battery that charges itself ...
Now in reality that would be cool but i think there is a problem. Using the ninphetamine 2.0.4 kernel for a few days for bln but it was disabled, stock rom.
I have attached two screenshots one taken right after and the other one 3 hours or so after.
I don't think that I would need a recalibration after a few charges the phone is not a week old.

I experienced same problem - I was browsing, then phone restarts itself and the battery is instantly on 18% (from 50%).
And then started to recharge itself.
Stock 2.3.4 ROM (version XWKH4), running the same configuration for nearly two months now, with only few restarts (once in 20 days), no new app installed recently.
Maybe some glitch in internal electronic?
Same problem, just a bit more drastic. My phone seems to freeze, in which I have to manually restart it. And then I see the battery falls sharply. This is on stock Firmware (unrooted) too.
ok so i have the stock sony erricsson battery right, i have Naa kernel latest, i have tried every rom out there so far, and my battery is getting drained out within 3 hours, i thought it was the battery bought new battery guess what? same thing again so now ive tried ICS MINIcm9 Naa version, ive tried every version of MINIcm7, ive battery calibrated ALOT OF TIMES ! I am about to try different now, so guys please any advice? any else get this problem?
Try full wipe then flash the rom again

make a test disabling the data/wifi and bluetooth, don't use full brightness in the screen after that use it normally if in those conditions the battery still drains in 3 hours then I dare to say that is something in the hardware of the phone
DONE all of that ! tried everything trust me well i think ive tried everything, im on stock rom now, calibrating my battery again and again till i get 100% after restart, because whenever i charge it charges in like 20 minutes, lets see how i go, sometimes with 30% battery i get 4 hours, sometimes with 100% battery i get 4 hours battery, makes no sense whatsoever.

you would never get 100% after restart because the phone uses battery when booting and loading the system.
calibrating if you are talking about the option that erase the file that have the stats of the battery that isn't going to change anything if your phone discharge in x minutes it will still discharge in that same amount of time because that method of calibration is a kind of reset to the %display in the phone nothing else.
if you can. try measuring the mA of the battery after charging it with a tester, then measure it again when the phone display something like 50% of charge it shouldn't vary a lot if the battery is in a good state.
but you in the first post said that you have tried with a new battery and still get the same time. and at the same time say that you have tried the phone with the data off. and get discharged quickly. if that is accurate then your phone have some kind of hardware failure that is making it use more battery than necessary, so you should send it to repair.
ps: also you can check the phone signal if you are in an area with poor reception the phone will use more battery because it will need to use more potency to establish a link with the cell tower.

nope not in an area with poor signal, ok im thinkin its an hardware failure as well, i might need to buy an external charger , my charging port might be screwed up, but like when i let my battery die down a little bit, and then i calibrate when it is at about 40% i then wipe battery stats and restart phone its at 22% and it stayed at 22% all night i didnt put it too charge and i listened to music for about 30 minutes or so, now i dont know what the f*** is going on i love my x10 mini pro, i just want this solved
I sort of got this kind of problem when i was running MiniCM2.2.0. It really buggered up the battery, it would lose about 7 or 8 percent when i was just looking at the lockscreen after powering up my phone.
Sometimes it will just drain like in no time at all, complain that i have to charge it, but when I turn off the phone and restart it, and it will say i'm at 60 percent. sometimes that is true, sometimes not, i only put it on the charger when I'm reasonably sure there is no power left, ie, if after a restart of two or three it will still say i'm under 10%.
So, whenever it runs out of power,do a restart and see how much power you've got left. don't charge it until you're absolutely sure you have to. Still not sure where it leads to, but I don't think i'll get back the battery-endurance i had before., which was about 3 or 4 days on fairly minimal use, without 3g or wifi.
(PS: Don't wipe battery stats until the phone is fully charged. Charging it from just about nothing to 100% in one go and then wiping the stats seems to give me best result.)

yep ive tried different charger and charging through USB. same thing charges to 100% really fast, and comes back down really fast, every single time i restart my phone after it has charged to one hundred percentage drops by 20% until it has come to its real charged percentage i think it is in the hardware of my phone, am i able to connect a bst38 battery to an old nokia to try charge the phone?
I charged my phone during the night to 100% and used it for a bit this morning. I went to the beach for the day, and left my phone at home. Upon returning (roughly 5 hours later) my screen was stuck on the ATT splash.
I looked at my battery usage to see if anything strange had happened, and I was greeted with the attached image.
I am currently running stock ICS 4.0.3 from ATT. Rooted with Kernal version 3.0.35-Siyah-v3.4.2. I do have a lot of widgets on my home screen, but I have had this same setup for more than 2 weeks and nothing like this has ever happened before.
Pleas let me know if you need any more details. Any and all help is appreciated.

Download batery calibration app from market, charge until you get 4200mv, disconnect charge, calibrate then after succesful calibrate restart phone then dont shutdown until you get force shutdown.
If you cant get 4200mv, wait to the highest value then calibrate
Anyway your signals are very low, it will be drain battery rly fast, try make them highet and keep wifi shutdown

Why does low signal strength quickly discharge the battery? Also does this explain for the gaps in the battery info or is it something else?
Our phones do not require battery calibration. Have you installed betterbatterystats, and watchdog? If not, install them and see if it happens again. I can tell you that it's not the official update that's the problem, as I had it installed for a few days. Almost gotta be a rogue app. You could also try switching kernels just to see if it helps.

Thanks but again, whats going on? If I have been using the same setup for more than 2 weeks, shouldn't an occurrence like this have already happened?
I had a similar incident today running stock 4.0.3. no root. Phone went black. Once I noticed it, I restarted it which it didn't want to do at first. Went to the battery stats and it looks similar to yours. Battery level showed about a 50% drop. Never had that happen before.
Well I am going to try the first suggestion and see if that helps. I'll report back later.
It seemed that the first option worked pretty well. I let my phone sit for 8hrs today, and the battery only discharged to 87%.

Probably kuz it didn't reboot. It looks like your phone rebooted quite a few times for whatever reason, back to back, possibly got stuck in some boot loops too. Id call it a fluke unless it happens again.
And there is no "calibrating" our battery. If you reboot at lower capacities it'll come back substantially lower and then correct itself slowly over time. Its just how our meter works (voltage reading vs mah counter)
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 .

after calibration use your phone till it has only 1 or 2 % left, then charge again to 100% without interrupt. dont calibrate again.

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.

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.

Hii everyone
I've got some really weird Battery Issues on different Lollipop Roms (CM12, ResurrectionRemix 5.3.5-5.3.7, Beanstalk and SlimLP).
The problem is, as soon as i restart the phone the battery percentage drops from 50% to 13% for no reason.
If i charge the phone later suddendly the loose percentage are back, but the phone consumption more "battery" so it's sooner at 0% as normal.
Does anybody else faceing this problem? Or whats the solution?
(Tried several times to calibrate the battery, and it's a new one ca. 6 months old)

Does anybody else faceing this problem? Or whats the solution?
(Tried several times to calibrate the battery, and it's a new one ca. 6 months old)

I've had these problems when I first bought my phone used off eBay. Phone battery was very erratic. After a reboot battery would be less than half or nearly 0 even with 80%+ battery. Or would shut down with 5% left. Or drain battery a lot quicker than normal.
Soon as I bought a new battery my problems vanished. My battery would stay solid no matter how many times I flashed a new ROM or rebooted. BUT after 3 months these drops have started to happen again with reboots. Not always like before, but they're happening.
I think it's down to battery conditioning. The way you charge and discharge your battery. There are set ways to charge a phone to maintain battery health.
How does your battery react without rebooting from a full change to shut down? You shouldn't need to reboot a phone with a good stable ROM once you've set it up the way you like it. Also calibrating you battery or wiping your fuel gauge meter to often isn't good practice as android and your phone will do calibrating itself after some time and needs the information that these starts provide.
Battery jumps seem to happen with a lot of S2 users. Maybe a flaw in the design of phone. But good battery practices are important, things like not leaving your phone charging overnight. Batteries don't like being left on charge when they are full. There's more info out there on XDA that I can't remember myself as I am guilty of bad battery practices as I use my phone all the time and don't have time to full charge cycle.
Yes same problem
Battery drains really fast when restarting
Any fix for this?
I am hiving battery problems too. Battery is dropping % like it leaking or sth. Last time my phone rebooted due to full ram and it dropped from 50% to 12%. I left it like that. After some time battery re-charged itself from 12 to 23 % ! Phone was lying on the sofa without connected charger ! Should i clen fuel guage chip or my battery is EOL ?

you have to reboot for example if you install xposed and new modules i've calibrated the battery just 3 times i think this isnt too much?
and i understand the problem with charging overnight but there's no other solution for me :/
I have the same problem of battery drain with SlimLP beta 5, here my screenshot: shoplc.altervista.org/gallery/

Hello, your situation is much more serious than mine. I reinstalled the original ROM jelly beam 4.1.2 because I can not charge the smartphone every 5 hours.

...of course, now my battery lasts 15-18 hours
When it developed a ROM that overcomes these problems of battery life, I'll be happy to try it.

Forgot to say, if you want to avoid battery drops when rebooting make sure you plug your phone into charge before rebooting. Thus should stop battery dropping afterwards.

The battery often drops when the phone hangs at work and reboot from itself so i have no chance to plug it in.
I have same problem, battery drain too fast & after reboot same time battery level is "falling" at one moment twice. At first, I think it's a battery problem, but battery work fine at CM12 mod, and have problem at SLIMLP 5.1.1 mod. When battery "falling" it's not heating, which means no real discharge.
