my phone old batter were drop suddenly it's charge from random amount
for example from 35% to 4%
or from 20% to 1%
any way i changed it with new battery
the new batter were at 60% so it lasted for almost day
then it drop from like 20% to 3% and it remained on 3% for like and hour or hour and half
i left it till phone shutdown and plugged charger while phone off
it charged for tow hours to 60%
then left it for 15 minutes and found it become 100% which is strange
now i've been using it for 14 minutes and still showing 100% for battery
how ti fix this and make phone calibrate the battery to show the right charge amount
i tried some apps but nothing seem to fix it

Did you checked the battery performance ?

how to check that?
as you can see battery consumption isn't accurate
it remain at same level for too long then suddenly drop to low percentage
and this battery is new
what cause that?

I had my phone charged last night and it died before i woke up in the morning. Now i just finished my charge almost 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, and its already 90 percent. And i have nothing but gtalk running, and a fresh install. Is this possible its a battery problem?
Did you check your battery use in the settings menu under phone status? It breaks down what used all your charge. If you already hooked it up and charged it full, it might be too late to tell since it wipes the last charge's results off.
Keep an eye on that and see if there is something in that list killing your battery more than normal. If everything in there looks ok, it's possible your battery is bad.

That seems normal.
Maybe you have the problem where an SMS is received and the screen stay on? Some people were reporting that problem in another thread. That would definitely kill your battery if you received a message sometime during the night.
I'm at:
Display: 52% 37min
Cell Standby 15% 3hr
Beautiful Widgets 13%
Phone Idle 13% 2hr20min
Bah that sucks, is there a fix for that sms thing? I havent seem it once yet. So basically 10 percent in 2 hours of no use is normal? I thought this phone could be on idle for days. eh.

Sorry, I missed the part where you stated the battery is at 89%...
My phone, on the first charge, lasted 28 hours with moderate to heavy usage. It should last a lot longer if it's just in standby.
Do you think i should go tomorrow to get my battery replaced?

How long have you had your phone? I'd give it a few days of fully charging/discharging to break in the battery and go from there. But the phone should definitely last you at least all day with moderate use.
I have had it since the night of the 18th. Well i mean i can try that, but it feels like its not the case. I dont know... bah
Display 57%
Cell Standby 14%
Phone Idle 9%
Voice Calls 8%
Camera 5%
Android System 3%
Android OS 2%
Of course it doesn't talk about the 30minutes of Wifi, the 30 or so minutes of watching some videos. Nor does it address surfing the net for around 60minutes and various emails through out the day.
Uptime 17:26:38
Battery 32%
Last night around this same time I had around 20%.
So it does seem to be improving a bit. Of course I wont know until tomorrow's usage.
I unplugged it around 6am and now its 11:37pm. So its lasting as long as I have so far. When I hit the sack I'll plug it in and go for it again tomorrow. As long as it has power when I go to bed then we will get a long just fine.

Remove widgets, lower your brightness, turn off GPS, turn off WiFi, set your notifications to a later time, and close unused running programs and see if that helps.
Personally if I'm below 75% and I have access to a charger, I just keep it plugged in to charge.
I had a fresh reinstall last night, and i lost 32 percent battery from 11pm to 10am without using the phone but for maybe 5 text messages.
I dont think this is normal...

+1.... Welcome to the inconsistencies of Android.
- Widgets off
- GPS in the task bar on. It only fires it up when it needs it anyways
- Screen Brightness I don't know I think its set to around 17-25% or so
- I turn off all that haptic feedback nonsense
- 3G off
- Wifi off
- Regular background
- I'm not running exchange or anything fancy that constantly looks for email, good old Gmail.
At least thats what I have my phone set up for. "What do you mean you don't have 3G on. Edge is so slow" Yeah its so useful when your phone is laying there doing nothing.
Same i have all that crap turned off. But i get bad battery times. Im thinking of returning and getting my battery replaced today. It wont hurt
Install Battery Graph and see how fast your battery drains at certain time intervals. You can probably tell if it's an app or not causing the problem if you see a big drop in a short time interval.
I was having the same issues for the first three day however I spent A LOT of time playing and tweaking as this is my first Andriod... I would unplug it at 6am and by 8am (with little to no use) I was down to about 65% but I was still thinking about replacing it.
I did the GPS Update and it seems to have helped a TON... Dunno what the coloration is (maybe the bad GPS signal was constantly looking and draining the battery) but it seems to really help.
Hope this helps some.
What is the GPS Update? You mean the fix in the Development section?
I recently flashed to JM5 + Lagfix 2.3, installed a few apps and played around with the phone until it dropped to 15% battery.. charged it to 100% and went out while i was on the way to my destination i was just exploring around the UI getting to know andriod a little better and I noticed my battery % was dropping like 1% per 1min.. I have the mod for battery indicator with %. my total unplugged time was 2hrs+ my battery was down to 64%. Looking at the battery usage its saying that 75% of it was taken by the display and the run timer was 38mins.. i have the brightness level at 1/4 of the way and it seems to drain unreasonably fast.. all other process was at 2-3% usage only. This never happened when I got the phone for the first 3 days ( came with DXJG4 )
Wifi/bt/gps/autosync/bgdata are all off, using 2G network also and power saving for the display is also off.
Is my battery flakey or just the OS giving me the wrong information ?
Ok so i wiped my internal SD card and reflashed JM5 + repartition again and after booting my battery when to 68% from 53%..
EDIT:
Rebooted the phone and im now getting 56% LOL!
There's a thread about resetting your battery threshold in the development section. Try that.
previously when i reboot my phone, it'll fly from ~20% to ~50% lol. it's just some calibrating issue i think. i drained it to ~5% then charged it up until it NOTIFIES me that it's fully charged(ignore the battery meter / %), wait for the popup thing specifically.
works fine for me.
This is odd. On idle, it took nearly 3 hours to go from 62% to 61% which I'm very happy with. After that it started going down a bit quicker. Waking up after 7 and a half hours, the battery had gone from 49% to 42%, so about 1% per hour. While that's not so bad, why would it start to go down fast? Since it took nearly 3 hours to move 1%, I'd have thought it should be at about 46 or 47% after waking up. Is there a % threshold where the battery drains quicker?
Current uptime, mostly from idle, and power saving mode from 50%.

maybe this battery drain problem started randomly on you device after 61% ...
but you do not have this wifi sharing or manager app that drain battery..this is strange..maybe your battery needs to be calibrated

Thanks for your reply. Where do I find the battery calibration setting? I can only find calibration for gyrosensor and horizontal.

Do you have any apps running at all? Mine is going from 100% to 10% in ~7-8 hours with mid usage :-(
The battery on this phone has been great. I have been charging it only if it is below 20% when I go to sleep. Typically every 2, 3, or even 4 days. Last night it was at the end of its 2nd day of light use and the battery was at 57%. I turned sound off and left it on but not charging. This morning the phone was off. When started I got the critical battery message and it showed 2%. Plugged phone in to charge and then the battery level immediately went to 56%.
Any ideas what could have triggered the phone to think the battery was at 2% and shut down?
Battery screen in settings shows the 56% level too. Shows on for 2 days and 6 hours - screen use 33%, cell standby 20% and the rest looks normal... Except that it shows wifi at only 3% of use. This seems odd as the phone has been on my wifi system more than half of the 2+ days. Shows connected to it now. Does 3% for wifi make sense?
Thanks!

I've not seen that behaviour on my Note 3, but I seen something similar on my Galaxy nexus that turned out to be the micro-USB pin had been slightly bent out of shape, causing the thing to occasionally think it was charging when it wasn't and other weird stuff.
OK - Thanks. That is definitely something different. In my case the phone thought it was at 2% and shut itself off. Then when I powered up the phone, it gave the critical battery warning and said it was at 2%. Then immediately upon plugging in to the charger, it said it was at 56%. I then unplugged the phone and it has been fine since. So the powering off and the 2% warning was in error. Strange. If nobody has seen this behavior before or has any idea why it might do this, I guess I will just think of it as a misfire of some sort and hope it does not happen again.

Try cycling the battery. (drain till it won't come on, charge with the phone turned off, turn on at 100%)
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?
