hey...i m having strange battery problem for my gtab....it suddenly goes down to 3% from 40-60% within one sec....then i have to restart it...n then again it shows the original battry like 40%....this happens again n again...why this is happening??i even did reset...but no help...
Hey< I'm experiencing the same problem on my TAB.
Sounds like you both need to take them back and get a new one.

Exactly the same problem happened to me after upgrading firmware. Did u upgrade firmware or anything? How's your galaxy tab battery now? Still same symtomps so far?
i dont have this problem but my tab has a trouble charging the battery, when i plug it in for charging the battery percentage never moved until for about 6 hours then suddenly says fully charged but i take out charger it goes back to the previous percentage so i need to rebbot and after it shows the correct percentage kinda annoying.. this happened when i upgraded to roto-jmi v2may be i should downgrade to v1 coz i tried reflasing v2 still the same any help guys? callibrating doesnt work for me
Same thing here. Tried calibration, hard reset, flash new rom, delete batterybin file to recalibrate, still no go.
Returning is not an option since i got it from Negri a couple months ago.

Same issue here.
Just 10 minutes ago
here same problem too
Hi guys, try giving it a full charge every nite, e.g 11pm to 6pm, regardless of the battery level left on the indicator. I do it continously for full five days and I dun encounter this prob. Furthermore, my charge can hold longer even till 2 days full medium usage.

new to the atrix.
I installed the latest oat update, and the phone was @ 70% after charging all night. I also noticed it discharge updates only by 10% increments.
I installed the homepage Rom, and it charged overnight to 93%.
I've applied the battery fix, but that only seems to stabilize the display (I noticed it fluctuating before the fix)
is there a fix? I've done calibrations on phones, but I needed to get 100% and the charge while off. Not sure how I can calibrate if I can't get a full charge while on.
Use recovery to wipe battery stats. If it still fails to display 100% when charged shut the phone off. Take the battery out, then plug the phone in. Wait until the "?" on the battery shows up. Then put the battery in while it is still plugged in. Leave it like that for about 30 mins. When you click the volume button the battery will show only 5-10%, but turn the phone on and it should read 100%.

I'll try that. I already wiped battery a couple times in cwn
OK, then the 2nd part should do the trick. It works for me anyways. Once you do see 100%, wipe batt stats again and let the battery die, then charge while the phone is off. Should fix you up.

You might have to wipe battery stats several times. I had an out of the ordinary calibration problem between flashing roms and had to wipe everything several times before it started working properly. Also note, that charging up to 95%-99%, and unplugging and plugging back in and slowly charging past 95% is common and not a problem. The software is estimating battery charge. And if you do charge past 95% and unplug its ok if it quickly goes back down to 95% and then tapers slowly.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
You have to wait for battery to go beyond 95%.
It takes time but it goes their.
My personal experience.
Just drain the battery til it dies. Then plug it in over night while you sleep. Once you wake up wipe battery stats and everything should be good.

I think he has tried both of these methods. I know I did. What I told him to do was the only thing that worked for me.
OK J, it looks like that fixed it.
Although battery showed 4169, and I saw others with 4200
Thanks issued!
try discharging until the phone shuts off and charging it again without turning it off.

Hmm...battery should show 4203 when fully charged. Mine has actually displayed 4205 a couple of times.

I'm going to try it again. I tried a different rom, and it only went to 92%. I redid the battery pull and Saw 4185.

"Show low low battery logo" Nexus 7 thinks battery is dead even when fully charged!
I have already got a replacement on order from the Play Store but since I haven't seen any reports on this after plenty of searching I figured I'd describe the issue.
My 16gb Nexus 7 worked pretty much flawlessly for the first several days of pretty light use minus very minimal flicker on occasion. As of two days ago the unit is basically unusable as it randomly but excessively decides that the battery is dead even though it is fully charged. The first several times this happened I wasn't paying attention and I thought it just shut off by itself, but then I started to watch it more closely but it also started happening more and more. As of this morning it will not stay on more than 5 minutes before it audibly notifies a low battery with the messages "Connect Charger" and "Powering down". Sometimes it will give two options "Battery" and "OK" but I was never able to actually get the buttons to respond because it would already be shutting down. Other times it will just show the connect charger and powering down messages with no buttons which is strange, but in either case the device shuts down.
Once I started troubleshooting I figured out a little more information.
Watching the lock screen while it is charging I will see it go from it's (I think) correct charge percent to 0% randomly.
While not charging it will either show a red battery indicator in the notification area or just an empty battery when it decides to shut down
Sometimes it will boot right up and be back up to regular charge level (of course just to shut down again within a few minutes)
Other times it will not boot up and I noticed the error message (almost like a debug prompt mistakenly left in the code) in the upper left corner "Show low low battery logo" + some strange symbol like when you get 100 1-Ups in Super Mario Brothers . Yes the message has the word "low" twice - I guess this is lower than standard low!
Anyway, kinda bummed but since I have not seen any other report of this particular issue I'm hopeful that the replacement will not have the same problem. I'm just hoping I don't get a unit that has some of the other problems being reported so I'm crossing my fingers.
Mine started doing the same this morning

This sounds pretty similar to my problem from another thread. Every time it hits 25% while discharging it dies. Normally I'd say it's just a software calibration issue and fixable by wiping battery stats, but I've wiped several times at 100% and run down to 25% and it still dies.
Do you find that you still get a normal amount of battery life before it dies? It'd help to establish whether this is the battery misreporting, or actually not discharging properly.
* Strangely this time after my N7 had died at 25% I turned it on and it's at 0% battery. It's been charging for ~15min and it still says 0%... When you all first got the device, did you let it run to 0%, or did you charge it right away?
** And now, after almost an hour, it's at 1%. Seems to be charging, but brutally slowly (and I'm using the bundled charger, not PC USB).

Yours sounds like a similar but different issue. My N7 dies regardless of how much charge it has. It can have 100% charge and within 5 minutes it will report 0% charge and die. Then when I can get it to boot again it will be back up to 99% charge again. I can't get more than 10 minutes of use before it dies regardless of how much charge it truly has.

I'm starting to have this same issue, however mine goes at about 19%. Just turns off. I have also seen the show low battery in white text thing. I have tried calibrating by fully charging then deleting batterystats.bin from data/system and letting it decharge and it still died around there, I'm recharging again to 100 to see what happens this next time I let it go... thought mine was issue free than this happens
Well in case anyone else runs into this, I have no idea what caused this or how I got out of it thinking it was dead at 20%. I tried deleting the stats, reflashed stock and then CM10 and back again, tried a different kernel, and still died at 20 and gave me the "low low battery logo".
I just took it into Gamestop where I got it and started the process for an exchange, so I have another one coming now. Go figure when I got home I plugged it back in, and now this time just like omnikai said instead of being at 20% it was at 0 when I turned it on. Been a while and now and seems to be charging normally so hopefully it will decharge fine.. either way really weird only problem I've had with mine so far
** Just wanted to edit and say its now decharging normally dont know what caused it to spazz out or fix it one of those ghost in the machine android moments

Replacement N7 seems to be fine thusfar...
Apparently, somebody in StackExchange is having the same issue as well:
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/27222/nexus-7-system-error-show-low-battery-logo
if anyone else gets this, try disconnecting the battery and then re connect and see if that fixes it. i had same type of issue on viewsonic g-tab and that was the required fix.
Mine did it at 10%, calibrated the battery and im getting truly awesome battery life 2 full days without a charge

While this reply is late to the game, it needs to be pointed out that such apps are 100% snake oil and do not calibrate the battery. They are based upon gross misinformation and any dev that tells you that clearing batterystats.bin has any effect on battery life or reported battery charge clearly doesn't know how Android works.

Have you fixed this yet cos mine does the same?
I had been having the same problems that everyone described: would suddenly die at 25% and wouldn't turn back on unless I gave it a charge for a bit and then held the power button down for a while.
For the last 2 weeks, I've been charging it only with the stock charger and that seems to have fixed it. Previously I would charge with any charger I had around.
Not sure if it's a permanent fix but it's working now (I've taken it down to 4% before charging it back up).

I only use the stock charger on mine but after this happened so often I tried another one and battery charged OK but then kept blipping from say 50% to 54%, went bed with it at 49% and this morning dead again. Charged it again today on stock charger and waiting to see what happens.
Sorry all for this bump.
I just got this same issue tonight on stock, unrooted nexus 7 16gb and I only use the stock charger, I let it die through battery and then when I charged it amend turned it on, all these problems happened.
One symptom that hasn't been mentioned is that the clock is set back to January 1st 1am.
I managed to get it to start without turning off by holding the power button until the Google logo showed twice, at the moment it's on but charging.
Hope this doesn't become a problem again in the future.

I recently started having the same problem with my 2 month old rooted Nexus 7 (wifi only) . It was dying at about 19% - 23% charge . Tried doing the battery recallibration at 100% charge, even wiped the device clean and flashed the Jellybean 4.2 factory image but it didn't work.
I talked with the ASUS service center guys to get it fixed, and created a sort of guest user so that I won't have to disconnect my accounts. After that my problem seems to have been fixed. I discharged it to about 4% and then put it to charge, it's charging properly now so I am hoping the problem has been fixed.
I am not sure whether this would work for everybody, but I guess it's worth a try.
I am running PA 3.5. Today I woke up with my battery being at 20% maybe 45 minutes later I got a notification of the battery being 14% and about two minutes after that the phone just completely died, it would not turn on. Luckily I immediately plugged my phone and got the blinking red light. I was afraid more than ever, and was turning on my PC to find the solution for this problem. In the mean time my phone went to its normal state and was charging. I turned it on and the battery was charging at 2%.
Should I be worried about this issue or has anyone had it happen to them?

Try searching the Q&A, lots of others have experienced this type of thing..
Hey everyone. So I bought a second hand note 4 recently and have been having battery problems.
I did a full wipe install of CM13 and the battery dropped to 0% at random times and I had to plug it in the charger for the phone to even boot as it would just restart as soon as it turned on. Anyway, i thought this is probably due to faulty battery. I purchased another one and now this one doesn't reboot at random times but seems like the phone keeps reading the battery percentage wrong, sometimes it doesn't charge over certain percent, just gets stuck at 77% or 63% or any percentage really. If I remove the battery and plug it back in, it shows a completely different percentage everytime. I have tried wiping battery stats, do a full discharge/charge, nothing seems to help. Battery drains fairly fast too, once I manage to get it to 100% it shows that expected time is like 2-3hrs if screen on. Thanks!

battery displaying different percentage after u remove it and put it back in is normal i have 3 note4s all do the same (up to 10 percentage change, it either increases or decreases) but the other issues like getting stuck on a certain percentage are not normal make sure u have the genuine battery and try stock rom.
yeah, i tried stock and the same thing really. such a random issue. I just noticed that battery charges once I turn the screen on and use it , so it only gets stuck on random percent only with screen off.

once the battery is charged to 100% it also drops first 10-20% really fast and then it gets better but still I only get around 2hrs screen time

Oops my bad..Didn't read your whole post...
the only way to fix this replace your battery by new one
i tried all options (Format ROM - Wipe battery status - Getting back to stock ROM - Unroot - re Celebrate apps - Changing recovery-Removing battery from device for while sleeping - charge without fast charge - charge via USB)
i asked myself after that all of this headache doesn't worth 20$, i replaced the battery with new one and its working fine now

yeah, i replaced battery as well but it's still the same issue. old one at least charged fully but would randomly reboot on me, the new one doesn't reboot but drains extra fast and doesn't always charge fully. can't believe both batteries are faulty
I am sorry for summoning this old post but did you find any solution to your problem? I have exactly the same experience with my note 4.
Thanks!
Is there a solution for this problem?
Power down and then out-and-in same battery and my stuck-at78%... was 100% when started.
if you having problems with auto restarting.... download the app " WAKE LOCK" and put it on Partial Wake Lock setting... your restarts will be a thing of the past.
