Hello everyone!
Firstly I am totally happy with my new Galaxy S2. But then happened something strange....
Yesterday evening I plugged in my phone and loaded it fully, I played a few games for about 1 1/2 hours and the battery was fully loaded, then I turned off my phone (and it seems that it made an full shutdown, because it turns the lights off and vibrates when it shutdown successfully).
Today in the morning I wanted to turn on my phone... nothing happened After a few tries to turn it on... I plugged it in... and see there... it loads... from 0%??!
How is this possible if the phone was shutdown all the time?!
I have original rom, nothing modified yet and there are no updates available for my phone.
How is this possible if the phone was shutdown all the time?!
No answer to that if it was a charged and shut off .

What do you mean by that? You were playing for 1½ hours and the battery was fully loaded !, or you kept it charging while playing
Regards.

I kept it charging while I was playing (it already was fully loaded at this moment) and later I turned my phone off with 100% battery. XD
In the morning it was not possible to turn it on, so I plugged it in again and it shows the loading screen with an totally empty battery and an yellow triangle. I really don't understand how this is possible..
Yellow Triangle? You are rooted right? And what other apps were you running when you turned your phone off, SetCPU or something like that?
No, I am not rooted not yet ^^
I think the yellow triangle appear when you plug in your galaxy S II and battery is lower than 5%. (When plugged in turned off)
Is it possible that gaming consumes much more energy even if plugged in? It's the only explanation for me at the moment. But this will also mean that the display of the battery don't update if fully charged and kept plugged in... mhmm.

Sorry I don't know about that. I thought Yellow triangle only appears when you are on an unsecured kernel/non official Samsung kernel, when rooted.
And while you were Gaming with charging, definitely Gaming took more battery out of your phone than the charging was filling in. But still, full drainage of 100% battery overnight is NOT normal, that's all I can say atm.
Regards.
This particular problem just happened to me. The yellow triangle in question (no photo for obvious reasons), is overlayed on top of the charging logo that appears when the phone is completely powered off.
I hoped it was my battery...not the case, like others, I believe the problem to be originating from a loose micro-usb connector. I slightly jiggled the usb side to side (very slightly) and the problem cleared up long enough to boot. It has returned and I am most displeased as I ordered from Expansys Canada and with a device I can't turn on and return to stock I am basically SOL.
Ugh, and I was hyping you guys up so much Samsung!
Your battery overheated and could not charge. When I play games and charge at the same time, the battery gets hot and I get an overheating notice. This is when you get the yellow triangle. It doesn't charge after that and I find that I have to remove the battery to get it to somehow "reset" the internal temperature sensor before it will charge again.
*kick* (since topic title fits my problem..)
So: battery nearly flat after reboot. Happened to me three times now, twice within one 'battery cycle'. First time it happened, the standard digital clock didn't refresh, so I restarted the phone. Before restart, battery was above 30%, after restart it was around 10. Afterwards, the level started climbing back towards 23 (hence, without me charging the device). Used it, so did not verify whether it would actually climb all the way back to its original level of over 30%, but the level seemed accurate because it lasted for many more hours until it reached 15%.
Last night, after a restart, batt dropped from high-20's to 8%. Because of the previous experience, I didn't charge, but let it be during the night. This morning, 8 hours later, batt level was back at 26%.. the battery graph showed a nice upward curve.
Couple of hours later, phone doesn't wake up and has switched off apparently. Startup reveals batt to be below 10% again.
Anyone experienced a similar scenario?
(Vodafone branded non-rooted GSII, PDA:KG2/Phone:KG1/CSC:KE2).
This has happened a couple of times more since then, I guess 6 times in total now. Have made screenshots of the battery level to provide an idea of what's happening, or at least, what it looks like. However, I can't post outside links yet.
Without recharging, battery level manages to climb back almost to initial level.
No-one with similar experiences? I have done no rooting, custom ROM's whatsoever.
(Vodafone branded GSII, PDA:KG2/Phone:KG1/CSC:KE2).
I was web browsing and suddenly the phone rebooted, and the battery charge dropped to the level seen in the screenshot. It's the first time happening. I'm on cm7 latest nightly with cg6.

I've been messing with my phone all night, setting up screens and what not and it just died. I plugged it into the charger and nothing for a few minutes and then the LED turned on and was white. It wouldn't start or go into charging mode. I removed the battery several times and left it out for several minutes. After leaving it plugged in for a few minutes, the LED turned green but still no startup or charging mode. After several more minutes, it finally went into charge mode and the LED turned orange and was 0%! Another 10 minutes and it was 15% and booted fine. I would think I should get warnings and if ignored, the phone would shutdown before completely draining the battery. Is there a setting somewhere I don't know about?
I don't know about any warnings...there is a battery icon on the upper right that I'd think would be fairly hard to miss? Red means charge asap. But if its completely dead, once you plug it in you have to wait a few mins for a charge to build up before you can turn it on.

Edit-
*actually just got a popup message saying i have 15% battery left.
I had an issue once where my photon got stuck at 80% and ended up dying with no error message because it wasn't reading the battery properly. I was able to see in the battery usage after I got it back on that it plateaued at 80% for quite a while. I haven't had the issue since then, but maybe you had something similar happen.

My battery indicator was stuck at 50% so it does sound like the same issue. I thought to myself "wow the battery life is much better than I thought". Guess some things are too good to be true.
Just for the record, I had a similar problem. My phone was reporting a charge of 100% but then I took out the battery, waited half a minute, and when I put it back it the phone said it only had 5% and had to charge it all the way back up!
Download Battery Monitor and put the widget on the home screen. See if its just the icon not updating or something more. I did notice once when it dropped "suddenly" but has not happened since.

I've had this for a while and used it quite a bit. I just noticed it can put the battery percentage in the notification bar and you can tell it to ignore the battery level the phone tells it and to calculate the battery to the nearest 1%! No more guessing what the actual battery level is!!!
I just purchased a new NT two days ago. Battery life was fine over its first night. Last night, however, saw some odd usage.
The NT was fully charged and then used to watch 30mins of streaming video. When I was done, I turned the screen off (sleep mode?), left WiFi on, and went to bed. By the time I woke up 8 hours later, the NT was completely dead and refused to turn on without first being charged.
Some background, it's a rooted 1.4.0 running the stock Nook OS with GoLauncherEx as the shell. I've used the SystemUI mod to have the N button act as a Home button and place persistent Back/Menu buttons on the status bar. I've also used the mod that fixes the white text on menus issue.
After I got it turned back on, I noticed that from the moment I unplugged it from the charger, the battery took a steady dive to 0% (the stat chart is basically a 45o angle). It also says the phone was "awake" almost all night despite the screen being off. Nook's official customer support response was to turn WiFi off and be more mindful of my usage, but I really feel that even with WiFi on, it shouldn't die within 8 hours of no use.
So, does anyone have any ideas on what is keeping the device "awake" all the time or have any tricks to conserve battery life? If you need an installed app list, screenshot of the battery stats, or whatever to better diagnose this just let me know. Appreciate your help!
tl;dr: Brand-new, rooted 1.4.0 NT dies after 8 hours of no use. Help?
Edit: Battery Stats -- http imgur dot com slash 02L7O (Sorry, first post)
hi guys , i got some problem with the information displayed for my razr maxx. the thing is the battery usage curve won't change for the first 10% of power drain, and the awake bar and screen on bar are full. but when the battery drops to 80% and below, the curve starts to count from the 80% position, what is going on? how can i fix it ?
here is the screenshot
How many times have you already charged that battery from 0% to 100% and drained it back again to 0%?
Seems like a simple calibration issue that should have no effect in real world battery performance.
Had that too. If you want to know more about this, look up "batterystats.bin".
So, if you haven't done what I said in the first line, do it and report back.
i have tried delete the .bin file bwfore, nothing changed. i think i will try to charge it from 0to 100again see if there will be any change. btw will the battery calibration apps solve this?

Read that. You don't have to do anything, just let your razr get some charge cycles and the readouts will be right. Remember: There is no need to tinker with this, as this has no effect except for cosmetic terms.
thanks for the information. one more thing, the battery indicator always shows that the screen on and awake time are the same, even after i turn off the screen and play music for an hour. is this normal? or the system keeps recognizing the status of the screen as on? how should i deal with this?
I would just wait a few days (read: charge cycles) and look again. Indeed strange, but if your battery doesn't get drained this also seems just to be another cosmetic issue.
actually it seems it has been more energy draining than before. it wouldn't drop 1% when i turned on flight mode at night and checked it in the morning. but now even i turn on flight mode it drops about 5% next morning.

Don't count on the battery percentage today. Look again tomorrow/after some charge cycles.
The battery readouts need to be calibrated to display the correct battery level.
I had the same "issues" (in fact, those don't seem to be real issues) and they went away. I assume your razr will behave the same as mine
Is the phone still new? I know mine was a little wonky until the charging and the meter apparently calibrated themselves to Maxx's battery Ever since, it's been very accurate.
yes it is still new. i got it about half a month ago. just got it charged to 100% from 0%. gonna see what will happen。
I've looked through this forum, but the Only thing I have seen are normal battery drain issues. Mine is not.
I'd like to point out that my Galaxy S3 is the 16Gt non-4G unlocked "Nordic" or European version, and I haven't rooted it.
The problem is that whenever I'm out playing Ingress, and it's chilly outside (0 degrees celsius) the battery seems to drain really fast. I thought it was just because Ingress uses both GPS and internet, and that the screen is on all the time.
I use the phone until it shuts down because of battery. Then I'd plug the phone to the charger in the car, wait for 30sec, and after the screen has fully lit up(I have not yet turned it on) the graphic says the battery is over 50%. So then I turn it on, And the battery is @58%. I unplug it and continue playing. The battery drains real fast again. Then it shuts down. I repeat the above process, and after turning it on the battery is @54%.
Also, sometimes during this battery drain, @10% or so, the phone disconnects from the network. It is disconnected until the battery is at about 2%, then it regains the network connection for the short while it is still on.
I have GSAM battery monitor installed, and it drew a nice graph. I couldn't take a screenshot of it because GS3's screenshot taking is a pain in the arse and I just couldnt do it. But the Graph showed the battery draining from 60%->0% in ½h, then it suddenly started from 58% and drained to 0% in another ½h.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so, have you solved it and how?
The phone was 4.1.2 until I updated it to 4.3 recently, and the problem was on both versions.

Are you rooted? Then you can try wiping battery stats...that might help...
(<---Remember to Thank me if this helped)

Replace your battery.
This is clearly not a problem of the battery, as it does retain it's charge. The phone just doesn't know it until it's connected to a charger. Hence magical 1s charge-ups.
