My device is N9005 with stock rom and Towelrooted.
Yesterday night my battery was at 48% so I charged it overnight. I got the notification that charging started. This morning I unplugged the charger, and when I picked up the phone about 1 hour later, I noticed that the battery level was at 86%, which is strange since it has only been on standby.
I checked battery usage and it shows 1 day and 14 hour on battery. this correspondents with the time I plugged in the charger last night.
I plugged in the charger again and notice that it start charging. In battery settings it shows 'charging' but it doesn't reset the timer instead the timer keeps running. The battery level also doesn't increase.
I have switched chargers, cleared cache and rebooted several times already, but no change.
I installed battery calibration, and the app shows that the battery level indeed increase, it went from 3800 mV to 4012 mV in about 30 minutes, but the percentage also doesn't increase and is identical to the stock battery indicator.
Is this a known bug or where should I look at my problem?
A reset would the medicine for your problem backup with titanium and go for it
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Been there done that. Flashed the firmware again, same result.
Phone is at the service center now, so will know more in afternoon.

Hey guys. I am experiencing the most strange battery problem ever. I am on Darky 10 RC6 with ZSJPG modem. Now I wanted to calibrate my battery so I completely used it till it switched off, turned it on again but it switched off completely indicating that the battery was finished.
Then I plugged in the charger while the phone was off and it started charging. After 5 hours it was still not fully charged, i waited another couple of hours but still not and then when I plugged out the charger and plugged it back again it drained to around 25 % .. I switched on my phone and it shows me a different battery meter everytime I reboot or start again and its not even charging at a good speed now. Please help
Now the phone vibrates in a while by itself and everytime I reboot, I have a massive battery drain of around 10 percent and if I charge my phone it charges so slow, like 4 percent in 1 hour :s
And now ive unplugged the charger and actually the battery meter is increasing. It has increased from 18 to 24 in 20 mins :s
Are you charging by the mains charger or the USB charger ??
how long has this been happening for ? its more likely to be an issue with the rom.
if it bothers you that much, Return to stock rom and compare battery drain..
if battery life is a lot better with stock, the problem is darkys rom, so i would switch to something else.
maybe make your own in the romkitchen.org
I am charging from the main charger, not the usb. It did not happen before, as I have been on the darky Rom since a few months. Even this Rom was flashed 2 weeks ago, this just started last night when I drained the battery the first time to calibrate it, i put it on charge all night only to find it stuck on 75 % after 6 hours or so, when I unplugged the charger and turned on the phone, the battery drained to 25% and that is when all these strange things have started to happen :s
have you tried to wipe battery stats ??
you should do this AFTER calibrating the battery,
otherwise the battery can give false information due to it being confused about its actual percentage
Yes I did, and that has made things worse as the battery meter is now increasing and the phone vibrating after a while by itself when I have the charger plugged in :s .. I think I might need to reflash with a stock Gingerbread ROM and take it from there .. What do you suggest?
I plugged my phone to the charger today, it charged to 100%, then i unplugged it and put in my pocket. After hour (even no using phone at all) I noticed that battery drains from 100 to 72 percent, after next hour to 54. Rebooted and it freezed, so I changed the rom and charging it to full now.
I was using CM10 stable and franco.kernel for 3 weeks. What happened?
Screen using shows 66 percentage ... ?
Pretty simple actually.....its an app ......figure it out
the battery stats could have been wrong, it happens often enough, and you might of never actually had it charged to 100%(but the phone thought it was). or, it can be a very badly behaving app(s).
I was having the same problem. I think i figured it out. For me I think I closed out of an app using the home button instead of the back button, so the app was still draining battery. (Starbucks app)
Hi, I'm having a weird problem. Last week I replaced my phone's battery. Everything was going fine till the first charge. The battery percentage isn't showing the right value.
After charging the device all night turned off. Battery shows only 79% of charge. If I let the phone charging turned on, it gets to 100%, but short after drops to 85% and then 79%.
First I thought it was a faulty battery. But I'm using it for a week now, and the device holds a day without a charge, I can even get 3 hours of sot.
I tried fully cicles of charge, to see if it's some kind of calibration, but nothing helps.
Any ideas?
Calibration apps or BBS?

Try battery calibration apps or use Better Battery Stats to find what's doing this!!
I've owned my Note 4 since October 2014 and it's been working solidly since. Last Thursday, out of nowhere, I noticed that from a 14% charge, it suddenly dropped to 4%. I immediately scrambled for a charger and charged it back up to 100%. On Friday, I charged my battery normally again. Charging finished at 11 AM but the drain was abnormally high. My phone was warm to the touch and battery was dead in 4 hours. I was using the phone normally throughout that time, 4g on, location services/bt off, screen off for the most part. I ran OS monitor to see whether any app was locking up the CPU, but, as expected, the main CPU users were Android System and Android OS.
On Saturday, I charged the phone to full again, disconnected around 4 pm. Being that I was home, both wifi and 4g were off. Battery discharged normally, and was only down to 30% on Monday morning.
On Monday, I noticed that battery dropped from 21% straight to 11% straight to 4% in a few seconds. The drain from 4 to 3 to 2% was decent (few minutes of screen on time, on viber), then the phone shut off. I tried to charge the battery with the device powered off, but noticed that the phone simply stopped charging at 80%. I thought that was an abnormality. I tried wiping the system and app caches, but the problem persisted and drain still felt pretty fast. Tuesday night, the phone stopped charging at 91%, staying at the same level for 40 minutes before I gave up and unplugged.
My friend had purchased a fake OEM Note 4 battery and allowed me to try the drain/charge process using his battery to troubleshoot. When I first plugged his battery into my phone, the drain was high at about 1 percent per minute. When I tried to charge the battery, the charge level would not go beyond 90%. I switched on safe mode, but the battery did not charge any further either. I felt by then that something was definitely wrong with my phone. When I restarted the phone to get out of safe mode, though, it suddenly started charging again and hit 100%. With regular use, the fake battery gave me 16 hours of power, which I thought was relatively decent. Alas, when I started charging it again, it stopped charging at 77%. Battery Monitor Widget showed 0 mA flowing into the phone at the time, though the battery indicator in the status bar showed the lightning bolt.
I took out the fake battery and put in my original. It is now charging up normally, but I expect charging to stop before I hit 100%.
If anyone could provide possible explanations for what could be going on and/or other troubleshooting tips to try, I would really appreciate it. A factory reset would be my last recourse.
Thank you very much!
EDIT: My battery went all the way up to 100% this time. But it's the same one that got stuck (at 80% then at 91%) twice in the past.
I'm using two different Samsung chargers and different cords, by the way, and blew out the port with air prior to attempting to charge the fake battery that still stopped at 77%.
I had the same issue, took it to Samsung and they replaced the battery, it has been okay since that

Really? I was ready to write off my battery and just buy a replacement, but what was weird was that even the newish fake battery wouldn't charge fully. That's what made me worried that it's my phone that's the problem.
It'd be great if this could be as simple as a battery problem.
I have Nexus 6P 2 years old running on Stock ROM 8.1.0.
The battery timing was good about 4 hour+ screen on time but yesterday my battery was behaving abnormal like massive drain. So when I restarted the phone it was stucked on 19% before the restart it was around 70%. It remained stucked on 19 for several hours and now the issue has become aggressive that I have to ait with the wall charger to use it. It means its not charging. The battery shows "Plugged in, can't charge right now"
The port is fine
Changed several chargers
Restarted many times
Cleared cache
Calibrated
Left over night
Both power on and off charging have no effect.
The strangest thing is that it was 3% last night and when I woke up about after 10 hours it was still same. usually it used to drop 3 or 4 percent.
Now I restarted the phone ans its on 2 percent NOT increasing while on charger.
Any help?
