Hi, I'm using a 19505 and was on stock rom. One day the battery got stuck at 100%. I tried to flash other roms and nothing happened, and now I'm on a 4.4.2 Google edition rom. The battery is still stuck at 100%.
I've searched everywhere and still haven't found a solution. Please help!

The battery indicator is stuck at 100%. The battery itself drains. After a few minutes of heavy usage the phone just turns off.

Replace your battery. Surely you have one with serial number starting at DD or BD.

Or reset the battery counter thing. Maybe the calibration is off.

Your battery is sn AA, so you don't have a factory damaged battery. Anyway this doesn't necessary mean your battery is not damaged. If i were you i would try with a second battery from any friend (or just buy it, it is cheap and so you will have got a second emergency battery) and see if same happen. I am almost 100% sure it is a problem with the electronic circuit inside the battery (not electrical problem) which provide status information data from the battery to the phone.

You cannot calibrate the battery using an app. Every app that claims that is lying. You could in the past but that was a long time ago.
I've same problem. Have someone solved it? How? Help asap pls

Download Repair Battery Life, and Advanced Battery Calibrator from Play Store.
@Uzair40:
Today's myth debunking: "The battery indicator in the status/notification bar is a reflection of the batterystats.bin file in the data/system/ directory."
--Dianne Hackborn, Google Engineer
Battery calibration apps do not work! The only thing they do is something Android itself already does: delete batterystats.bin. The only viable solution here is for the user to replace their battery, as the microprocessor in the battery itself is faulty and reporting an incorrect voltage, which Android translates into a battery percentage.
Calibration doesn't work. Battery is ok. I checked with other device. Baterystats.bin deleted and doesn't work.
thank you

I'm using 4.4.2 stock XEO and yes, this happen on every ROM. I downgraded from 5.0.1 to see if it would work but nothing changed.
You've tried the battery in another device and it works fine, so it's not the battery. This happens on every ROM, so the only possibility left is that you have a hardware problem on the motherboard itself.

So, I 'have to use to it. It won't be a problem but i won't know when my battery will be low. Is there any app that show real battery status? I'm asking because LED shows real status while charging. And sorry for my english but I'm still learning it.

Hi guys,
I wasn't sure if this would be better here or in the apps section. I apologize if it needs to be moved.
Yesterday morning I rooted my TF and installed Prime 1.5. I had read that it was good to calibrate the battery after flashing a new ROM so I installed Battery Calibration from the market. This morning when I took it off the charger the battery was stuck at 98%. I had not actually run Battery Calibration, I had just installed it and opened it to look around.
Also, this was the first time that I charged it since rooting so I'm not sure if it being stuck at 98% is related to the app or to the flashing of Prime.
Has anyone ever seen this before? If so, does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? If I reflash or do a factory reset could that possibly remedy the problem?
Thanks in advance!
Drain the battery till it turns off the fully charge it.

Either that or you've struck gold by finding a battery that never discharges past 98%
I had the same problem just after flashing the 8.4.4.5 stock, wipping battery stats in the recovery(ClockWorkMod) solved it =)

Does it matter at what point in the battery cycle that I do this? In other words, does it need to be fully charged, fully drained, etc.?

Hehe, sadly it's not stuck in that direction. It drains just fine but won't go higher than 98%.
I wouldn't worry about it. Charging to 100% is bad for the battery anyway.

Same thing happened to me. Only once though. Charging from 14% then jumped to 100% in seconds. Rebooted, and it's back.
Its normal, nothing to worry about. Something to do with battery reading and sudden change in voltages or something.
what rizy7 said above... Nexus 4 has a bit of wonkiness in reading battery level, sometimes. Not sure if it's purely hardware, probably a combination of hardware and software problem. Google, for a smart company, does some stupid things. Just look at how they have handled the marketing and sales of the nexus phones over the years. Pure disaster. LG made a brilliant phone in the Nexus 4, great industrial design and some great stuff innards too. Then Google punted on day one on play store. A total chaos ensued, buyers were getting their orders deleted after they were confirmed. Such inept online marketing. Also, where is the after-sales customer service? No wonder the Apple fanboi's are laughing at us.
Same thing happened to me while debugging an app with ADB. Rebooted and it shows the real battery level.
Use all ur battery until it is empty, charge until 100%. Reboot into recovery and press on wipe battery stats.

I need some suggestions on how to calibrate the battery on my n4. It got miscalibrated when I did the update 4.2 to 4.3 and I haven't been able to calibrate it since then, a week ago.
I tried using battery calibration from the store but it didn't work, I tried charging the phone from 0 to 100 and it didn't work.
I remember I had the same problem 2 years ago with my Atrix and I solved it by wiping the battery stats from recovery, but now twrp and Cwm removed this feature and I don't know how to solve my problem.
Maybe it would help flashing all back to stock with the toolkit?
If you have any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.

Just the answer I didn't expected, and frankly a pretty useless answer, everybody knows that battery calibration doesn't improve battery life.
But I have other problems, like I turn off my device at 80% and when I turn it on it's at 77%. Do you think that's normal?

Either faulty battery or do the following:
1.Completley discharge N4
2.Charge fully(+2 hours after hitting 100&) WITHOUT disconnecting from the charger.
3.Repeat for better results.

You mean off as in all the way off? If so, then that ~3% is being used when the phone boots.

I've had many phones, and none of them lost charge during the boot, at least not that many. I think that's the clear sign of battery miscalibration, I've had this problem before with another phone. Besides that, I've had a strange behaviour of the battery, for example I saw it lose 4% in 1 second, from 66 to 62 in a blink of an eye.

It's not that it's losing charge quickly, it's just the OS (or the hardware itself) doesn't always do the best job of reading it. There's not much you can do about that, and it's really not an issue unless you make it so by staring at your battery level all day.

Hi,
I'm having a similar issue. Phone rebooting to weird battery levels (not the %age it shutdown at).
Phone shutting down at 31% battery and rebooting to 0%.
I tried charging only to 100% yesterday with the phone ON.
Do I have to charge it even after it's charged to 100%?

I tried charging through the night and then discharging it completely and charging it completely again. I also tried deleting the batterystats file (even though I know it doesn't do anything)
So what do you suggest I should do? Get the phone replaced or get the battery changed?
I live in India and the phone is from Canada, so replacing the phone will take some time but I can get the battery replaced for around $20
Also my nexus is also showing +ve mA values while it's not charging, and the values are absolutely crazy, +268, +168, +1171 (in batter monitor widget)
Please tell me what I should do.

Before you replace the battery try to disconnect the battery's flex cable and reconnect it [after you charge to device to 100% and turn it off of course] check if its 'reset' the battery.
I have problem with battery status.I try delete file batterystats.bin in my data-system but not fix it.All version CWM not "wipe battery stats" line..Help me
Apparently wiping battery stats doesn't do anything at all, it only wipes the actual history of battery usage, the same you see when you go to the menu and click the battery.
The whole subject is really a lot of speculation that as there doesn't seem to be a definite answer to calibrating the battery.
What seems to work for me and what seems to be advised more often is to fully discharge the phone, by normal usage then leaving it charging through the night, repeat the process the next day. When doing this process don't charge it in the middle of battery, you must wait until it dies.

@Mottz is right. Wiping that file only removes the history of what app used how many percent of the battery. This has been confirmed by a Google engineer.

What exactly is your battery issue?
Hi,
I saw many folks are facing similar problems, but my problem is little different. Now a days whenever I play Candy Crush my S4's battery drains out very quickly i.e. 60-70% in the span of 5 - 10 minutes, also it gets charged up with equally fast (about 80 % in 10 min). My phone is just 3 months old...earlier there was no such problem. I haven't installed any new apps in between. Is it the problem with the battery or with the handset?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
The battery drain in almost time cause of software problems
But charging too fast Im saying it could problem with the battery it self
Try to charge your phone with original charger

It's because from what I remember, battery callibration is not regulated at rom level. It's a chip inside the battery.
For example:
With the old HTC Desire you could wipe battery stats in the recovery.
For the Samsung Galaxy S2 this didn't have any effect because the chip inside the battery regulated the calibration.
From what I remember it's the same for the S4. If the calibration does not work (eg charging to 100%, taking the battery out, putting it back in, recharge again till 100%) then his battery is faulty. So unless he messed his rom up seriously, no wipe or other rom will help. His OS just reads the data from the chip.
