I have been experiencing this problem the past weeks, maybe months. The phone won't fully charge and usually stay at a value around 80 - 85%. Sometimes, it even reports to be 100%,and at the moment you unplug it from the wall, it drops to these values. Sometimes, however, it does charge to a full value, but anyway, the battery life is horrible.
Here you have a screens hot of the battery stats.

The rom I use is cyanogenmod 11. I always have been using this rom, since the moment I purchased the phone.
Like three months ago, my phone dropped to the floor and broke the screen. My home insurance company replaced the screen, so I think, even the phone is a year and three months more or less, I can't call LG for a replacement, can I?
I'm a bit worried because I'm making a long three week trip in some weeks, and I need to have a working phone.
I don't know if going with battery replacement, if try to flash stock and see how it behaves or what to do.
BTW. just for testing if it was the rom or not, I left the phone charging while switched off and got the same results. The original wall charger has the same results as if I charge it with a Samsung charger.
Thanks
I have the exact same problem, I posted about it a couple of days ago.
I have already replaced my battery once, that was almost six months ago, and now, I'm facing the same problem again.
I'm not sure if is only a battery issue, because this is my second battery with the same problem.
There is an app called batterie calibration by néma. I dont want to give up on your batterie/phone, so at least try this app out
I had the same problem with my old phone. What I would do was let the battery run down to 0% and let it switch off. Then i would charge it to 100% and it would work. Its only a temporary solution though as the battery would soon stop charging above a certain percentage after a few days.
I did change the battery on it but i experienced the same problem,it may be that the new battery was also faulty (if it was the battery's fault in the first place). What I did notice though was that when it did not charge above 80 or 85%, when the battery came to about 20% it would stay on 20% longer to compensate for the "lost" percentages. In essence it does charge to 100% it just doesn't show that on that battery bar.
Maybe give this a shot, it might work well for this phone. No harm in trying. You could also try reinstalling the ROM or returning to stock. For me on my old phone returning to stock did the trick.
same problem
i have exactly the same problem,'ive changed two batteries but there's still this problem.
give me a solution please!! i tried different roms, and flashed factory images of android 4.3 nd 4.4.4
It seems to be a common problem with this phone - not charging to its full potential. The other issue I have experienced - the phone goes dead for no reason. After trying a number of time trying to get it to turn on, it eventually does. I am waiting for the day that it actually does just die and I can purchase a more reliable phone.

Something wrong with your phone. There is no such common issue. I've been using this phone since last 4.5 years.
Instead of waiting for it to die, is it not good go ahead and get a new phone?

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.
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.

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.

yea def sounds like battery stats not updating properly
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.

Hello and thanks for reading ,
I am experiencing a very bad tablet battery life since November 2013.In these past month's i have visited forums, flash factory OS,turned off the radio(and wifi), installed many battery saving apps (didn't work), boot safe mode(drain still there), rubbed snake oil(really dangerous) and the battery still drains faster than a monsoon gutter.
Below is a screen shot of the tablet after I left it to idle for one night .

Thanks and regards shinra_co
I've got exactly the same problem; battery drains very quick even with airplane mode on. Tablet Idle is the culprit according to the power settings. I wonder what this means and how to solve this issue. can hardly use the tablet, i always need to recharge it.

Same here, and this just started a couple of days ago. Usually, with my usage pattern, I only needed to recharge once a week. Just over night this changed to nightly... Quite annoying.

Registering only to add my "me too" to this problem. The battery is depleted in a few hours (6 to 10) when the tablet is turned off, no sleeping, turned off, even after using the recovery menu option in order to force the power down. It is always lightly hot to the touch when it is automatically discharging, again when turned off.
This is my first Asus device and I am trying to request a refund, I don't want a new device, or a repaired one. I want my money back. I am not sure this will happen because it was bought on December, but this is not tolerable
5 Months in and various updates later (KK 4.4.4 KTU84P right now).
The battery still drain away @ 5.0 per hour minimum.
As per original post, I have still not been able to find the source of the drain.
wakelock detector, better battery stats and battery doctor have been of little help this past months.
Assuming it is not software related, what are the chances it is the hardware ie the battery itself being the culprit.
if so i think i'll wait for the rumored 8" nexus tablet.
Hi,
I updated my Moto G4 to Nougat last week. Everything was fine. Yesterday there was some 114 mb ota update. I downloaded it and since then I am facing two issues-
1. Whenever I lock the screen using the power/lock button on the side, the screens becomes black and white for a millisecond and then it gets locked. I haven't seen any other phone's screen becoming black and white for a tad and then lock. Is everyone experiencing the same?
2. The battery is draining just way too fast. 40% depletion since morning. I only used the phone to make two 4 minutes phonecalls. I did not install any new app or game. Any troubleshooting for this?
This is the build number etc.-

Though it's unrelated to this update, when I first got this phone last year I had the same problem with the battery. What fixed it was manually recalibrating the battery. If i remember the steps correctly it was something like: Let phone fully discharge, plug it in and charge it with the power off for about 8 hours, power it on and keep it on the charger for at least another hour.
I updated my phone to Nougat yesterday and manually updated to the same update you're on. I haven't noticed that black and white issue with the lock screen and, if anything, the battery life seems better than on marshmallow. Hopefully battery recalibration helps out. A factory reset may not be a bad idea as well, especially if it wouldn't be a big inconvenience.

The phone charges fully in under 2 hours, thanks to turbo charging. Don't you think 8 hours are way too much? The black and white issue is being faced by other users too-

No. The whole point is that the battery percentage is inaccurate. Here's a guide for you:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-callibrate-battery-device-t3308554
When I followed this process I let it charge overnight before turning it back on. I also didn't use the turbo charging charger that came with it, but instead a 5 port Anker usb charger. Perhaps I wasted time, but it worked.

That second photo of S6 looks scarier for a phone with non-removable batteries. Is that the case with most of the phones with non-removable batteries?
