So here's the thing, I've been flashing ROM countless time and got to the point where I stuck for one ROM (in a good way). But whenever I charged my phone while turned off to a 100%, when I turned it back on the battery is not 100%, more precisely 87%. Do you think it's the battery itself, the OS, or the entire hardware?
Thanks.

Uptime: 2hours 27minutes and x amount of seconds and dead.
did I break the record for stress testing it?
Anyways, anyone got any tips on battery life? I was thinking of getting 3000mah or 3500mah, but the design of it (bulky) just doesn't seem the right option in my mind.
Also anyone here actually have the 3000mah or 3500mah so they can chime in on the design + battery life compared to the original?
just powered the phone back up. and it says battery is at 50%. wtf.
It turned off on its own cause of low battery, and now it says 50%?
E-gad the ghost recharge strikes again.
I had the same thing happen this morning. Woke up to a dead phone, plugged in, boot ed and battery showed around 70%... Go figure

Battery may not be calibrated correctly. I have to say my only major disappointment with the EVO is how the battery life is so tied to the particular rom I'm using. I mean I expect different drain rates on different roms, but having to recalibrate the battery every time I switch roms is just plain dumb.

Juice defender did not do it for me either. I got 1.58 but too many things were turned off to get there. What is the purpose of a smart phone if everything has to be turned off to save battery.

It used to work for me, but now it is doing the same thing. Im at 1.76 now but for the past week it was stuck on 1.00, then slowly went up with each flash.
just a quick update. The reason the battery showed empty one minute and then it showed 50% the next was because of the heat. The phone was very hot when I was playing with it, and then when it cooled down it seemed to have fixed itself or w/e. Happened again today.
im sure its been answered..but how do we calibrate the battery?
Pretty sure you can erase the battery stats through clockwork recovery. Also there is a way through ADB which is pretty easy too
Sorry I don't have any links atm.
Twice this has happend. Phone was at around 70% battery. Then I rebooted the phone and battery dropped to 8% after reboot. Battery can't be consumed so fast as the phone was only brought off the charger at 8am. And it's 8% at 12noon with minimum usage.
Anyone experience the same?
Update: I rebooted phone again and battery went up to 25%.
Update2: Battery has stayed at 25% for the past 2 hours after the reboot. But when I looked at the phone again just now, battery went up to 42%! Gosh...what is happening?

Didnt have the problem till yesterday. Darn shocked I say!
I faintly remember there is a thread here on how to reset your battery if encounter this problem.
Hate myself for not bookmarking it earlier!
Have you ever flashed your phone with odin? If yes, the barrery stats may be messed up... This may happen if you flash your phone with less than 100% battery!
Here's a way to correct this failure that worked for me:

I have never flashed the phone with anything. But Samsung did change the motherboard a few weeks ago due to I bricked the phone.

Maybe the same problem... ?!?! No idea.. i would try the fix. Perhaps it will work, if not, not, but nothing else.
I just flashed SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-BR7 on my HTC Glacier and started observing a little weird behavior with it. It died of battery, but when I restarted it, the phone showed 10% battery remaining.
I switched off and put it on charging, after 1.5 Hr, the charging indicator was still yellow but I switched on the phone and boom, it showed 100% charging and the led turned green. To double check I switched off the phone and plugged in, it was still showing yellow led. After around 45 mins, the battery was fully charged in off mode.
Is this some behavior known to anyone? Or it is time for my battery (my phone is still with original battery and it's almost 2 years).
Any help is highly appreciated ...
Well, first off, did you flash at 100% battery?
Second, is your battery swollen at all? It probably is after 2 years. I had to replace mine after a little over a year.
I can tell you that, even on CM7, I leave my charger off while in recovery because it might say 50%, but as soon as I reboot it might say 70%. A magical 20% increase in 45 seconds. Still, your battery behavior is off. If you decide to replace it, check out Anker.
Don't forget to flash another ROM to compare battery behavior.

Thanks estallings15, I initially flashed at < 100% but then realized my mistake so did a full wipe and then charged it to 100% (when powered off). And then flashed it again.
Seems my battery is little swollen, can't say though, I would give it a shot to replace it.
I tried another ROM but did not use it for full battery cycle, as I just love this ICS
If you decide to replace it, check out Anker.

For me, Anker is at least as good as OEM if not better, as well as cheaper. Answer your question?
I am using the same ROM. My battery life isn't very good either..!

Like i post in title : "What if battery discharged during upgrade?!"
When I shifted to Android, I have not thought about the battery, and the battery is discharged, the phone will not start, is it a big problem and can it be corrected?
So long as it didn't happen during radio or hspl,, ,chances are it's ok.

Charge the phone fully, and then go on.

Have the same problem! Even changed the battery, does anybody know the reason?
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.

To be honest, I don't know.
But if I would be you I would just let it charge while it's off(So the big ass white battery icon).
Let me know if you got your battery sorted after the method I posted!

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.
