I flashed alba's ultra lite rom but I think the problem still persists, when I let it settle the battery meter goes up by one or two percent and then it goes down, I don't have bad battery life so far but I don't know why I have this problem... Anyone help please.

well don't worry i had it 2 when i had N900, it is a normal behavior as your device make an automatic calibration depends on your phone usage, taking an example, if you playing a game, you quit the game, your battery is showing 50% then you put your phone away for a while, you find it 51/52 or even 53 % , it is so normal & to be honest i saw this only on N900, now i have N9005 & this never happened

Thank you very much! I was getting really worried!

My phone cannot be fully charged.

Hi all. I have a problem with charging my phone. I always leave it to charge overnight and since few days it is going weired. It says it is charged but if I reboot it it boots up on 77percent. If i plug it in it charges until 100 bu then there are some stripes going through the screen as in old TVs, after reboot still 77 percent.
When i turn it off i boots up on its own to power off charging screen and shows a sighn similar to thermometer next to battery. The phone does not feel hot at all.
I am on MIUI 1.11.18.
Yesterday changed kernel to Siyah hoping that it would help... bu it didnt.
Any suggestions?

You have to recalibrate your battery once you switched to another rom.
already done it and no change... I just wonder if its down to software or hardware issue?
I will try to flash different rom and see how it goes.
Search around the forum for this. The only proper way to recalibrate the battery on the s2 is to take the battery out and leave it out for a few minutes. Delete battery stats just in case.
This has happened to me a few times and it usually sorts itself out in the end...

I have sent the phone for repair. We will see what they say.
I did not reset custom binary count so the may invalidate warranty... we will see
Why would you send the phone in? The issue is clearly software 0_o
Well I reckon that if it was software it would be gone after full wipe and original ROM flashing.
But the issue was still there... so I ve decided it will be best to send it off for repair.
Phone came back yesterday. Although I have not received any advise note I think the battery was replaced.
It works fine now.
Strange thing they did not do any firmware upgrade...

Did they do the work under warranty?
Ricey
Yes. Its been repaired through phones 4u at A-Novo.
Custom binary count has not been reseted

Interesting, wonder what would have to happen for them to check binary count. Probably a.full brick?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Maybe...
I used to work in old Creative repair centre and we had to flash and fully test every unit...

custom binary counter only can be view in download mode rite?

[Help] Battery Drain Problem

Hi All,
Everything was ok till the day before yesterday. But suddenly from yesterday I am facing a huge battery drain problem i.e. 1% per minute on my S4. I am running the latest version of Arrow Rom.
I did format everything and reinstall Arrow Rom but no luck. Then I restored my previous Stock CWM backup and again problem is same.
One more thing my phone's battery is taking too much time to full charge. It takes 5 to 6 minutes to charge 1%. Sometimes it takes more than that.Although my phone is only one year old. When Iam using phone for browsing or chatting with charger plugged in its not charging properly its decreasing.
Can anybody tell me what is the problem?

Your battery is more likely to be uncalibrated. Download Battery Calibration from Google Play and follow the steps on how to calibrate it. It requires ROOT. Any other things that can cause this are wakelocks, be careful what kernel you use. You can monitor wakelocks using Wakelock Detector from Google Play.
Or your battery might be a faulty one, check if its swollen

I don´t believe in calibration. It´s a balast...
How old is the battery?? Over one year? Buy new one.
Or try to use Wakelock detector and after results use Greenify

Use power saving mode install stock rom
Auto brightness
Format sd card
Remove unnessesary apps
Stop all unusual apps like google plus hangout and play books etc etc those you don't use.
Disable chrome use dolfin or other's.
If you are using custom kernel or mods like audio mod or performance mods don't use them.
Auto sync off when not needed
If these steps don't work then change the battery
For charging use 2amp charger with a 16amp socket
Use stock usb
Clean your battery's copper area with petrol and also clean your
Usb cable and ports sockets
Hope this will help
And I know my English is not good.

Battery drains fast!!!! Help!!!

For the past few days I've been noticing that the battery is draining terribly fast, a quick check in the battery details page revealed that my wifi is being used throughout the time my phone is on, even though the wifi is off in settings and quick songs notification panel. How's that possible?. Is it some app which is using the wifi?. But can the app use the wifi which is off? . My S4 is a GT-I9500 model running 4.4.2

WIFI is always ON in your example, but it is not the issue you are looking for.
You have to find what application ( or wakelock) is running in background when your graph is in AWAKE state.
Drain? What drain? There is absolutely no drain visible on the screenshot. Your screen uses power. That's normal for a screen to do.
Smart Stay and adaptive (screen mode) drains battery a lot so you should consider disabling it.
I've turned off adaptive display, ill check if it will improve the battery life. Thank you

As u can see from this graph, my phones charge came from 95 to 15% in just 7 hours, with hardly any usage. Is this issue hardware related, could a faulty battery be the culprit. My phone is just 3 months old and still under warranty, should i consider replacing it.

Weird battery usage information

Hello to everyone.
I bought my self a new LG G2 D802 about a week and a half ago. Last days i noticed that when i go to general - > battery the battery usage shows 290 hours. That is a very strange bug for me. I don't know how to fix it. I have turned off the phone a few times but no change. It is using a stock kit-kat 4.4.2. How can i make it work normal. Thanks in advance. I can't post the link but i have the image uploaded..
It's normal. When you will high use phone this drop to normal value. You just got low usage of battery and that's why it shows 290h. Sometime when dont use Phone i get around 320hours but then it drop to normal

Where did you have the 107°F (which screen, app etc.)?
It's not that much though.
The battery should last > 10 days in sleep mode. Of course it's less when you're using it. The screen is a battery eater and you have it at 57%.
I have rooted and unlocked bootloader . is there a y good kernel for stock kitkat rom and do we have to backup efs folder before flasjing or it is to safe to direvtly flash . i also cannot sew backup made by cwm 6.0.4.9 i don't know where it is placed

This happened to me when I flashed SlimKat 7.6. I all I remember is that it got insanely hot, and didn't turn on until the phone cooled down completely. If this not your only phone, i'd replace the battery, and while you are replacing the battery check if there is any signs of damage from the heat. If it is your only phone, I would just keep a cable with me at all times.
