This belongs in question and answers section.
You might be able to fix this by reconditioning your battery,otherwise your battery is just getting old

It could not be getting old I just got it last month

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.

I did I fully charge then wiped then drained recharge then wipe

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

Ok ill let u know the results of this second try and do I have to recharge when phone off

Strange problem I recently developed on my vibrant. Suggestions?

Ok so these last couple of days I've been having the strangest problem with my vibrant. The battery litterally sucks it self on the charger. For example, today at 3 in the morning I woke up to find my phone charging at 71% I was like ok good. Woke up at 7 and the phone was completly dead! It looses power on the charger. At first i thought it was the battery so i switched it. And whattya know. Still the same problem. Then i thought it was the usb port since ya know samsungs port sucks ass so j get a new charger and nothing. Let me remind you tthat this is a recent problem. Any body know a fix to this?

Test your charger. Try usb charge from pc. With a different cable to be sure something is not crossed inside.

The battery should not drain like that period not even cm is that bad
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

My point is nothing to do with rom or phone but rather the charger or cable my be damage and causing short that drains the battery. Hence the suggestion to try other cables and charge methods to eliminate the possibility of this being the culprit.

Does it also fail to charge if the phone is turned off? If it charges while off then perhaps its a software issue after all. If not then the charge/usb port might be bad. How are you charging the battery between posting?

It shows its charging. But it'll go from like 11% to 0% in like 10 mins. And yea it charges with the screen off.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Have you tried to backup and re-flash your phone? Have you tried a battery calibration by wiping the battery stats? My advice *having never encountered that issue* would be to save all your data, make a list of the apps you use regularly and re-flash the phone then manually re-download each app and do not restore anything. if all goes well and it charges like normal then your set and can if you wish restore your old data and/or apps 1 per day till you notice the problem, return if it does.

I did just that. Reflashed a new rom and less drain but its definatly.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

My next advice would be to try stock 2.2 for a day or so and see if it has issues. then if its ok try a new stable version of cm7 or miui * different build than previously used* and see if the problem returns.

Ive been thinking of cm7 but the battery life is driving me away. I was able to charge it till like 40% then i unplugged it by accident and I plugged it back in and BOOM battery drain. Its at 0% and will not rise.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

If the phone gets hotter than 120° then it wil stop charging and actually dicharge. Make sure your not overcloking or ajything.

My advice on which rom if your not set would be to use trigger. I moved to trigger a long time ago after one of my bionix flashes didnt work quite right and have not looked back yet. I am currently on project v with trigger theme which is a little more like stock but with tweaks than a fully custom rom.

Ok so I got it to charge too 100% overnight and I unplugged it and it went down too 37% instantly. -__- just started working today and this isn't cool. I also left it by a fan so it wasn't hot at all.

In that case I would be sure to flash back to stock clean and then go to a different rom, I suggest Trigger 3.2 very stable in my experience, and charge to 100% and do a battery calibration. Trigger comes with an app to calibrate the battery and be sure its fully charged.

Weird MIUI battery stats

OK so I flashed MIUI about 4 days ago. I've been getting weird battery readings. I plug it in, it charges. If I restart it, it'll boost up about 20%. was at 80% just now an restarted and now I'm at 97% draining rapidly. I've wiped battery stats, drained the whole battery, and charged it up fully. Any help please??

how exactly did you wipe/calibrate your battery?

I went into CWM, wiped battery stats, and then drained completely then charged fully. I can download a battery calibration app, should I try that?

hmmm seems you did it right, but a calibration app wouldnt hurt either. I recommend using Battery Calibration, I use it after a fresh rom flash everytime and it works very well

Yeah that is the app I'm using right now. Thanks for all help guys.

my note2 charge from 1% to 100% in about 2:10 hours

What I've seen is that the charging current keeps altering on every charge. From 900 MA to 1300 MA. It's 1300 MA most of the time, but sometimes it goes below that and then charging period becomes longer!
I've tested 3 different units, with 3 different charger and they all act the same. Weird but that's what happens.

Some times, a longer charge means better mAh input.

Calibrate the battery by running it down to 0% and charge it fully.
You can also root the phone and flash a custom kernel that offers great battery life.
Other things you can do...
Turn off sync, turn off GPS, turn off Google now, and lower brightness level to a minimum.

There's no such thing as battery calibration. Just use your phone normally, charging it when you want to.

Don't calibrate now.. your phone will already have the best calibrated battery settings.
Calibrate when you flash a custom Rom and that too,if you face battery problems. Otherwise no need. You'll do more damage otherwise. No need to calibrate if you flash a kernel over stock either.

You dont calibrate li ion battery.

And you should never purposely run it down to 0%.

It is a bit of a misnomer as the phone is calibrating the battery scale to match the discharge of the battery. It isn't that there is no such thing, it just isn't what people think.

Get the latest Franco kernel on it. That is all.
