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.

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 :/
Batteries that take a long time to charge need to be replaced.

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.

Stop spreading that freaking lie. Wiping the battery stats doesn't do anything. Besides it is wiped every time the phone is charged to 100%. Don't believe me. Look it up, a Google engineer has posted this along time ago.

WIping battery stats is useful when installing a new ROM, so it can measure battery capacity better (extreme tl;dr version). Install BetterBatteryStats and look for unusual wakelocks and processes. Report back with what causes the issue and we will see. If you could include screenshots of BBS, that would be the best
You don't get it do you? It is wiped when you install a ROM. It is WIPED when you charge to 100%. The batterystats.bin has no effect what so ever on your wake locks, battery problems, or anything else you think it is related to. All it does is report to the settings what has been using the battery.

You know there are nicer ways to tell someone that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything . If it doesn't do anything than it shouldn't be in the options...period. I was trying to be helpful and offer a suggestion..and it couldn't hurt to try.
.. so whats your suggestion so no more "lies" get spread??
CWM is largely generic, so the Battery Wipe option is there whatever device. It is a waste of Dev. time to remove/customise for every device.
It doesn't do anything... in this case. It may on other devices.
But this is largely OT now... so back in the room.
It doesnt do anything for any device. A long time ago it was thought to do something. But a Google Engineer said otherwise pubically.

Check that android.process.media is not running and consuming 20% of CPU cycles. This process always runs when you restart the phone as it scans the phone's internal and external SD card for media files.

This morning when I turned it on the battery was drained 15% down to 75%
Does anyone else have this problem?
Defect with phone?
Thanks for help.
You have to let the battery settle and let the battery stats calibrate. The % that you had after rebooting is what you really have. The first time it wadjt showing the right amount.

Then when he turned it on, he "lost" 15%. Like I said in my post, what it said before he turned it off was wrong. He didn't really lose 15%. It was just displaying the wrong thing.

You might have some apps running in the background that is preventing your device from going to deep sleep to conserve power. Check what's running in the background when your phone is off. You can use better battery stats app to check what's consuming your battery level.
Are your running a custom kernel? I've heard of a few cases with kernels where even though the phone is sleep and screen off just touching the screen will cause battery drain.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'm guessing you either meant it was at 85% or drained 25% down to 75
Either way this is common on a lot of phones now due to the way the battery gauge works. When you turn your phone off then on it doesn't always remember where it was so gives a value and then if it's under where it should be it soon recalculates and can either starts going up or stays on the same value for a long time. This has happened on both my old SGS2 and also my N4 for example this morning while my phone was being drained by the FB app keeping GPS on, I turned off location access and then restarted my phone which dropped a few extra % and then sat for a good few hours at that % even though I used my phone.
Moral to the story is don't always take what you see as true, give it time to settle and see how it goes over a few charging cycles.
Hey, can someone explain me this?
I charged my phone to atleast 24% begore i went to bed cause last time i tested battery when i sleep, the battery dropped 20% in 10 hours, but now i charged it to 24% and when i woke up today it had slowly increased to 32%... what the heck? Can someone explain this to me?

wrong sub section but in answer, my s2 done that all the time almost after flashing a rom.
could start off at 100%, flash a rom and itd be at say 25% then start building up again toward its correct %. no biggy, its kinda normal :good:
Wrong section to post this but this problem also happens on my s2, it is something wrong with the fuel gauge. Just do regular charging and discharging and it should return to normal.

If you've flashed a new rom, often the history of battery values and voltages get messed up. So its not really sure what percentage of battery is left when the battery is at X volts for example. Usually a complete discharge followed by a full charge should recalibrate the battery monitoring.
