I've got following problem:
While I was on ARHD and before, battery monitor widget always showed me my battery has a capacity of 1230 mAh

Now I'm running CM7 for a week now and yesterday it happened, that I had to restart my phone and the battery fell from 45% down to 10% -
Well, I tried to charge it, but within 3 hours it couldn't reach more than 40% :-o
This morning, when I woke up, I took a look at the phone, which was charging over night. It told me this:
Now my battery seems to have only a capacity of 774 mAh???
My question is: Is the battery damaged or could I solve this problem on my own?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried charging until the phone is fully charged (ie receiving 0mA) wiping the battery stats then rebooting?
I recall something similar, but for me it was right after flashing a ROM & I was getting strange readings and jumps - but best to leave it charging for a good while, then do that wipe. I think there's an option in Settings for that, but you could also do a search on this forum for more details.
Also, try another popular battery monitor, just in case something has gone wrong with BMW (unlikely, but everything is possible)

Had it on charge the whole night. Received 0 mA for few hours.
Just recently wiped battery stats over 4ext recovery. BMW still shows this low capacity...I'll try a reboot now.
Just in case,I flashed icons, battery Mod and boot animation made in uot kitchen and while booting I don't get a boot animation, just splash screen and nothing (instead of boot animation it's just black and then boots up)...

Well reboot and wiping battery stats didn't help a bit -.-
You think it might work, if I just wipe everything and flash CM7 again?
Kind of a clean install...because this really annoys me...
If I don't use it too often, it still has good battery life.

And again something stranged happen :-o
I flashed Absolution and booted. Restored all apps, including BMW. Opened BMW and had my 1230mAh again.
Then I flashed a battery mod from UOT kitchen and restarted. So far everything was ok. Then I used the option to brand desire hd in Absolution settings, so my phone didn't say it'd be inspire 4G. After that I restarted. (I had 58% battery at that point)
After the restart I only had 11% battery left and as I looked at BMW the issue returned and the battery only had a capacity of 774mAh -.-
Guess I'll stop flashing mods by kitchen for now and see, if they're causing my issue.
Edit #2: Found out, that it seems to be BMW related. Restored BMW, run it. 1230mAh. Restored data and had my ugly 774mAh again. Deleted data and it was 1230mAh again.

good to Know that.

Take a look I am running SC 2.4 and I had my data on and I went to 79 percent battery in a little over an hour mostly on standby just now I charged my phone to 100 percent and its at 90 while leaving wifi on and a phone call

EB01 has a bug in its sensor code, so turning off AutoRotate will help. It's still not a WHOLE lot better, but it's at least serviceable that way.
Hopefully, the rumors about the update/OTA were true, and we'll see an updated build (EB09 is sticking in my brain for some weird reason, but don't take that as anything real) that fixes the sensor code and anything else that's eating up battery.
Did you do all the flashing when at 100% battery? It's possibly your battery stats are just inaccurate.
Let the phone charge to 100%, then with the phone still plugged in, shut it down so you get JUST the charging screen, and let that go to 100%. Then, boot into CWM and delete battery stats, and then go back to the powered-off-charging-screen and let it go back to 100%, then boot back into your OS. Some people recommend draining the battery most all the way, then charging it back up, but I'm not sure if that's really necessary.
Also, apparently there's a GPS bug in EB01 which causes it not to sleep, which'll drain your battery fast as well (though I don't see the GPS icon on your screen). You might also have some battery hog in the background slaughtereing battey life (the battery use screen might be able to lend some help for that).
Try using an app called juice defender, I found it to help my battery a lot.
SC 2.4 hides the icon.
I was getting a wakelock from Android System earlier today, but that has finally resolved itself and my phone is sleeping now.
I am not a noon so I know about wiping batt stats and did that I have used juice defender before but I just don't see a whole reason that it should drain that quick

No issues with battery life AT ALL with EB01. In fact, the BEST battery life I've EVER gotten, even better than Adrynalyne's UV kernels (no offense bud)
Yesterday, I unplugged around 10, got off work work at 830, was home by about 930, and STILL had some 34% left, 11 hours later. I'VE NEVER been able to go that long on a single charge. And I leave auto-rotate on.
What REALLY helped me, was turning off the GPS when not in use. MAN....what a difference !!!!

[Q] Battery stuck on ?

My nook, even after charging completely, dissconnecting the power cord, and using it for hours after, always shows a ? for battery status. Under settings battery % always reads unknown.
Anyone experienced this problem? My nook is rooted (rotted?).

Although I haven't read about the BatteryManager ever returning unknown,
I'd be interested to know what the battery/charging status says in UsbMode.
This app has a group that displays all the broadcasted info on the battery.

Solved
So, I let the thing sit for weeks. Too busy with school to send it back to b&n for a reaplcement. I finally decided to deal with it, I plugged it in and in a few minutes it said battery to low to charge. I had to wait 15 minutes. So i let it charge till full. Upon booting, and unplugging, battery registered 100 percent and decresed with normal use.
In other words, let it totally run out of battery (could take weeks) then plug it in and let it fully charge.
Worked for me
I would like to confirm the OP's results. My battery started doing the question mark thing out-of-the-blue, about a month ago. I tried unrooting, restoring to factory settings, I even tried older versions of the Nook software to see if that made any difference, and nothing. I tried to drain the battery, transferring files to and from the Nook over wifi, and even when I couldn't boot from low battery, as soon as I plugged it in I got question mark battery. Being in Canada, getting my Nook replaced is a huge pain, so I left it for about a month. Pulled it out today, just for the heck of it, and I got the Not enough battery to turn on screen (which was new, when the battery was in question mark mode it would always attempt to turn on, but fail silently as soon as power was removed). I left it plugged in for a few minutes, and lo and behold it booted up and displayed the charging animation on the battery icon. I charged it to full, and it seems to be as good as new.
So, for anybody else that has this issue, the fix seems to be to let it drain for a very long time, then recharge. Shortcuts don't work, and it isn't a hardware issue that needs replacement.

Phone turning off at 50% battery life

For the last week or so, I've noticed that my phone now powers off at 50% battery life.
Battery Monitor Widget reports the battery still having ~1000mah at this level, but the phone just dies. I feel like this is incorrect, because sometimes if I run it down slow near 50%, it will do that thing where it will flash RED on the LED when you plug it in for the first time (super low battery indicator).
I'm running AOKP 4.2.2 MR-4, but i've tried a few different roms, dirty and full wipe (factory clean), along with various kernels, but my phone continues to die at 50%.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
See attached screen shot for what I"m talking about. Battery drain will look fine, then all of a sudden, BOOM 0 percent, and I have to charge it.

Yikes, definitely something going on there. Are you running a custom Rom?

Just went completely back to stock and then put the latest AOKP back on. Still seeing some weirdness. It's like it doesn't even use half the capacity of the battery (see discharge/charge graph)

If I had to guess, I would say you battery stats file is out of sync. After flashing different ROM's on a G1, I would have to re-calibrate the battery stats by letting the phone battery slowly die (phone powers off), then fully charge while phone was still off (8-12 hours), turn back on and repeat one more time. The stats file would fix itself.
I'm experiencing the same issue, but mine is not as severe. I've dropped as much as 25% battery, but the phone has never reached auto shut down. I'm worried that this issue will cause the red light of death.

[Q] Device crashing and full battery drainage

Hi guys,
My device has started acting pretty weird for the last couple of days.
Firstly it started with sudden crash and reboot. I was shooting burst 20 images when it happened.
After the reboot, the battery went from about 70% , showed 0% and went into boot-loop, showing 0% battery every boot.
The only thing that helped was removing the battery. After a fresh start, the battery showed about 50%.
I tried to reproduce the same thing (shooting in burst mode) but couldn't repeat that error.
Then, after a few minutes, it happened again and again and again. (screenshot attached)

I reflashed original ROM and reset to factory settings. Thought that this would solve it.
Today I had something new, same thing with the sudden crash, after recording a video.
The device crashed, restarted with battery @ 0% (previously was ~55%) and went into boot-loop, showing 0% battery every boot.
After removing the battery, the device showed 25% battery. After a few times that I removed the battery, the device showed 20% and again, boot-loop.
When I connected the charger, it started charging and I got to ~35% of battery.
After rebooting the device, it suddenly showed ~50% battery.
The jump is visible at the attached screenshot:
I have a 32gb sandisk ultra type 10 memory card. I heard that they may cause lagging on the device.
Also, the battery seems to be OK, not spinning on the table.
When connected to the charger, the problem doesn't seems to be happening.
Please, any suggestion will be appreciated.
I am very frustrated.
same ****ing problem . Hope someone will solve this ****ing issue .
Maybe its a defective battery. Check if your battery have a lump or not.

The battery appears to be in good shape. No bumps and not bloated.
I was at the service center yesterday evening.
They installed the official ROM and did factory reset.
As the device turned on - surprise! Battery shows 0%.
Their suggestion was to replace the battery charging port flex cable and provide a new battery.
Today I shall leave the device for the procedure and report back after they finish to see if it works.
Look like hardware issue

I do hope that this will solve the problem.
Although, I see more and more users are posting about this same issue.
So, got my SGS4 couple of days ago.
What they did was changing the battery and reset the device.
It seems that the battery life got longer and it holds almost for the whole day.
I disconnect it from the charger with 100% at 5:30 ,
and I have around 20% left when I go to sleep at around 23:00
I use the device on medium level. I do have phonecalls and whatsapp majorly.
Today, I read an article that Samsung admits having problems with the SGS4 battery and offers free battery replacement.

Battery Draining

Hello everyone,
My Discovery elite battery is draining pretty quickly. When it shuts down and I start charging it it starts charging from 0% but when I reset the phone while charging it jumps directly to 24 percent.
I changed my rom, cleared battery stats couple of times, used battery fix and calibrator apps and nothing worked.
Android system and the apps are saying that my battery's health is good, what do you think?
What should I do?

I thought it was just me. I also experience the same problem. It shuts down prematurely or drains fast. After being off for a few minutes and starts it my batt would show it at around 24% again.

Can confirm this is happening to me as well
Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on 4.4.2 AOSP posted by Muratt19
This actually happens in all roms that I used. Even the stock roms.

Have you considered buying a new battery? Thinking of buying a new battery but afraid of wasting 30€ if it's a phone issue

I'm buying a different phone. They practically do not have support in the Philippines anymore. No Service centers as well.
