Ok installed EB01. Everything's working no problem at all. Then I was looking at my battery icon. It was at 40-30 percent then all the sudden drops down to 10% it doesn't even try to hit 30-20 % etc. Is this a known bug or is there a fixed to this? I've tried wipe and battery wipe on the red clock work.I'm clueless what next to do. No task killer. Juice defender etc. Thx

You charged the phone 100% and then cleared battery stats?
Yes.

The fact that you are giving battery life ranges implies that you are judging by the stock battery graphic ib the upper right, which is remarkably misleading.
Install a better battery mod/theme or simply download OS Monitor and look at its Misc tab.
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
Thx I'll do that.

Weird. Download battery % app. Phone battery icon is at full bar. But then app battery % is at 80% . That's weird. This a known bug to EB01 Stock dedoxed?

What I've noticed on some is that they yank the battery when it's full during a bat cycle based off of what the stock image on the upper right says. What is more then likely the case is that you wiped (or didn't wipe) the battery when it was actually at 100% so it reads at 100% when it really is at 80%. Best thing to do is charge the phone till the bat app says 100%, then wipe bat stats after letting it charge for an addl 10 min. Then full cycle the battery and charge again and report back.

I unplugged my phone at 630am to go to work today. It is 237pm now. I haven't plugged my phone in all day and my battery stats says 1hr 44min since last plugged in. When I refresh it just changes the seconds. Also there is no where telling me my battery percent. Anyone else seeing this?

After updating to EB13 it now takes forever for my battery to charge, it barely lasts 6 hours, and the battery gets hot as can be. I now have actually had my phone tell me it cant charge till it cools off. It never happened on DI18. Also, if im doing something on my phone while its plugged in, the charger wont keep up with the usage.

what kernel is on your phone?
my battery was very erratic too after updating to EB13. I just flashed it a second time with odin, and now my battery lasts longer than it ever has!
I'm not sure if this would help you, but it certainly helped me
FYI: I flashed the ext4 version from the dev page, and it seems to run a lot better after an odin flash.
Stock EB13 kernel.

35% Charged
Mine been charging up to 35% all day, Im a try to let it charge all night see what i get in the morning
It takes 8 hours to charge the battery, where it took around 2 hours befre the update. The phone is also hot as well, where it never was when on DI18
mine also takes quite a while to charge, but lasts quite a while as well..
I like the long lasting part.. the slower charging stinks though. :/
You may need to wipe your battery stats.

That was mostly directed at some of the others in the thread.
If you issue is just that it seems to take too long to charge then wiping stats in CWM (you have to use the one click root - not sure if you can do it in stock recovery) *might* help.
Your issue seems a little different - the phone should NOT run hot like that. Even overclocked to 1.2 mine doesn't get very hot unless I'm really pushing it while it's charging. Have you tried reflashing your phone? Backup everything important and try the Samsung updater tool (it'll wipe everything and start you fresh on EB13).
Only computer available is a mac so reflashing is a no go

I flashed from the Samsung updater and then did a battery test. After a full charge I was able to go 34 hours down to 3%. A lot of that time was in sleep mode for the phone, but I also was running live wallpaper and had GPS on the entire time and WiFi off and on throughout. I'm pretty impressed with the battery chops.

I agree with this. I got 25 hours with moderate use. Facebooking, twittering, uploading pics, even went to the gym and streamed music with Double Twist for an hour. Battery is amazing.

Mine charges fine, but it WILL NOT sleep. Same issue I had in DK28. I have NO idea what could be causing it. I've hardly installed anything, and the only widget I have is the "Battery Life" widget and I've even tried killing it and no change, won't sleep. Don't know what to do other than go back to DI18.
yeah...my phone has been running hot as balls lately. I've never gotten into the 100's before like this...usually just surfing with 3G im in the mid 80s..now I stay in the high 90s going to 100s :/

You might be able to fix this by reconditioning your battery,otherwise your battery is just getting old

Thats how it is.
cm7 and miui have same problems, and its to save you from over charging, and thats some phones start heating up too much.
Don't worry about it, its for your own phones life.
Ok that's good to know and my phone charge extremely slow and sometime not at all but then I reboot and my battery life goes way up wat is that about
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Thats because your phone is mis-reading your battery's charges.
a Re-condition would help phone re-read it more accurately, but idk how you'd do that since to re condition you have to charge till' 100% lol.
Will they change rom to make it 100 cuz I don't want to go back to 2.2 rom cm7 is to good

the CM7 your using is not OFFICIAL, so the problems your facing is up to the developer to solve, not the CM team because as far as i know, they haven't even supported CM7 for us fully yet.
it's just how cm7 is reading the battery. on one revision i would get a max of 95% then 97% on another. just recondition the battery after its been plugged in for while after hitting the 97%. worst case is you have to recondition your batter again after you flash another rom or it gets fixed.
Do you know what cm7 version they've used as a base for the vibrant version? The Nexus S does this by default, to protect the battery as others have mentioned.

YOU need to re-condition, YOU can fix it.
the people on MIUI or CM7 can't.
As stated its a known thing.
I used my Samsung Focus to charge a battery to 100 percent put it in my phone and it discharged to 95% then back up 97%. So the phone isnt charging the phone up all the way as it is. This is also good for the life of the battery and the battery will last longer. Also it gives and accurate reading. Sometimes with phones if it says 100 percent it is discharging thus you actually only have <95%.
I fixed the problem I just switched to best rom(trigger) then reconditioned and it charges perfect thanks for the help

This is by design and should occur on all Roms. Below is a link to a good Phandroid article tiled "Your Smartphone's Battery Gauge is Lying to You and its not Such a Bad Thing". It really does an excellent job with a fair amount of data explaining why your battery will only charge to 95 - 97%.
It boils down to three options:
The phone manufacturers essentially have three choices:
1. Use older charging styles which actually maintain a full battery, thereby decreasing its eventual life
2. Use new charging methods and have an accurate battery gauge
3. Use new charging methods and have the inaccurate battery gauge

RECONDITION.
I told you before everytime you flash a different rom, the battery is going to be different, so reconditioning is going to help you make it more accurate reading. brah.

You may need to do it a few times.
But since you are on a 2.2.1 rom... no need to worry, when it tells you its at 97% it's actually at 100, soon when you don't notice going from 1% to 2% will take more than regular time, it'll make up for the 3% somewhere along the lines

First of all, I know what most people will say: wipe battery stats and condition the battery, but I'm too lazy.
So recently I've been noticing that sometimes my battery charge percentage goes up rather than down. For example, tonight I put my phone in my pocket at 18% battery left. I watched some tv and checked it again ~1.5 hours later to find that it was now at 32%. I've seen this happen on occasion before, but never such a significant jump.
Anybody have any clue as to why it would do this? Other than the fact that my battery stats are needing to be wiped. idk just seems weird to me

Sometimes that happens after a random reboot, where when it comes back up, it has "dropped battery." Then it realizes it isn't actually that low, so the battery meter will climb till it actually equals the battery. Then it'll start dropping again.

That was happening to me on Clean GB, I reboot my phone every 4 days or so and my percentage would drop significantly after booting back up, then start increasing. I've never wiped my battery stats. I'm using another stock-like ROM so I'll see if it happens again.

When you reboot do it while plugged into a charger and that won't happen. It is a glitch in CWM and battery stats.

"Conditioning your battery" after wiping battery stats takes nothing more than regular usage of your phone. All the people that say you have to do all that stuff after calibration are just recommending it because it causes your phone to adjust faster.
Just charge it all the way and use battery calibration to wipe stats. Your battery life will take a few days of use to improve to good levels, but it works and you don't have to do anything other than what you normally do with your phone.
After flashing Ics my battery couldn't seem to stay high so one day, I took the liberty of finishing the battery and...

Yes, I have to agree. This has also happened to me. I have actually had this happened when I turned my phone off one day. Before turning it off it had 60% battery, after a minute I turned it on and it said 20% battery. Also, has it happened to you that you charge it leave a couple of hours and when you unplug it rapidly falls to 70% or less? LOL! But it is nothing a full charge and batterystats.bin wipe wont fix.

Wiping battery starts has nothing to do with reported battery percentage. Similar results can be obtained by setting your phone face up on the coffee table, watching any random show on tv, and doing Zumba for 30 minutes. In other words... none.
Battery stats, which is only a list of the apps that have put a demand on the battery, is already cleared each and every time the os is rebooted

This is what I have read on the XDA forums and it has worked for me.
Completely charge your phone to 100% (Full battery charge) without unplugging. Once it is charged, without unplugging it, reboot to recovery and wipe battery stats in the ADVANCED section. As soon as your wipe it, very quickly unplug the phone. (as fast as possible). Once you do this, reboot your phone and completely drain it to until it turns off and you cannot turn it back on unless is plugged. Once it is drained charge it completely full withot unpluggin it or turning it on.(Best time to do this is at night, since you are probably not going to use it while you sleep). After that just use it daily. You have to give it a couple of days so the battery syncs up. Hope I helped out!

No offense, but what you have read is incorrect and is rooted in a misunderstanding about how the os and li-ion batteries work.
1. Wiping battery stats does nothing pertaining to charge indication. The file cleared is an already blank file that lists nothing more than a list of the apps that have consumed power. This file is cleared by the is on every reboot already.
2. Completely draining the battery shortens its serviceable life.
Any "results" that are seen by doing the above are merely attributable to the placebo effect.
