I have 2 batteries and one broken phone, I use the broken phone to charge the extra battery. If I reboot my phone with a battery with a perfectly good charge when it reboots it shows the battery is dying? If I put the battery in the other phone and charge the status says the battery has a charge, not sure what is wrong?

My guess: Your broken phone doesn't actually charge your battery or at least, not fully. It might think it's fully charged at a very low %.
It could also just be the os not reading the charge correctly. I've had it happen on numerous occasions where I'll reboot my phone and the charge drops by 20-30% after reboot. But if I continue to use it without charging or rebooting the percentage will eventually increase or at the very least stay at one level for an extended time.

Well when I take it out of the broken phone and put it in the good one, the good one says its fully charged too. The only reason the charging phone is broken is cause the IMEI is toast.

It doesnt increase, just dies......... tried charging the battery to 100% turned off then ran battery optimization app, used the phone for a while and rebooted it at about 60% and after the phone rebooted it said the battery was at 2%

You should probably stop rebooting, let it die and fully charge it. Might need to recalibrate your battery stats too.
As for your IMEI being toast, you can flash stock KK4 to fix it.

Thats what I did was let it die and fully charge and used the battery recalibration app to change the stats. then rebooted later and lost all my battery?
Have tried flashing stock KK4 with no luck on it, now its just an expensive charger

Ok.. maybe we've been missled this entire time. What's the highest battery consumption in settings->battery?
Also, you could get betterbatterystats app to help trigger what's draining your battery.

Well what I'm starting to think is that the way you charge your battery has nothing to do with it. The OP missled me to think that it was coming from your broken phone. It might come from your phone (or app/setting on your phone).
Imo, backup your apps and such (after finding out what's draining your battery), flash back to stock and start from there to get back to your ROM.
How old are the batteries?
Do they both report the same percentage immediately after boot and after comparable use for a similar amount of time?
They are only good for 500 to 1000 cycles. A dying battery will appear fully charged when on the charger but quickly drop to a lower voltage when used.

Eh yeah, I would highly suggest backing up, going back to stock and reflashing your way up.
MediaScannerService is probably cause your SD card is a mess, a factory reset usually helps for that. AudioOut_2 is weird though, do you have clicks sounds on?

The instructions to flash roms states that we have to fully charge our phone before flashing. Does that mean we have to bump charge to 100% or is a battery charged to 97% considered fully charged.
The full charge is a recommendation, not a requirement. Its likely your battery may not be calibrated correctly if you do not fully charge the battery first. There is a lot of complaining about a ROM killing batteries, after a flash. If you do not flash with a full battery, you should cycle the battery 3 or 4 times and/or calibrate the battery before making any observations or comments about the battery life of your ROM.
Personally when I flash a ROM I start with a odin flash to stock. Then I turn off the phone and charge to full with the phone off. Then boot into recovery, flash CWM (twice) and flash my ROM.
97% is probably fine, but keep in mind your mileage may vary.

not comletely true...
if the phone is already calibrated (or doesnt need it) the battery is fine
the phone ALWAYS charges to 100% then stops charging
lets the phone run on battery power down to 95%
starts charging back to 100%
so depending how quickly you unplug it after it reaches 100% it will start to run down.....

So ... if your battery is calibrated, and you flash a new ROM, thus obliterating the file your phone uses to retain said calibration data, you phone will still remember the calibration info?
I wish I had your phone, mine behaves quite differently.

It depends sometimes on the rom. Some of them charge full but don't show 100% when unplugged.

Thanks .... that added and changed nothing about your response.
Let me slow it down a notch. I said if you flash with low battery you *may* (I used "recommendation" due to using the word "may") have a calibration issue with your new ROM, until your battery is recalibrated. (Based on many hurried flashes) I followed that up with a disclaimer that not every phone behaves the same.
You said that is untrue because your battery constantly dances between 95 and 100% when left plugged in. Just like your newest response this serves absolutely no purpose in explaining where you disagree and why.
Once more for the hearing impaired: your battery stats is a file on your phone. Still with me? Okay. When you flash a new ROM, all the files on your phone are deleted. Still there? Good, I'm glad you're keeping up. So if you delete all files, how does your phone still have that file?
So I guess there are people that have phones that magically retain the battery stats file after deleting it. I was simply saying I want one like that, because mine doesn't do that.
Use your words, without resorting to name calling or cursing, if you don't want a sarcastic response.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Except you're wrong. When you flash a rom it does not overwrite all files found on your phone. By running a master clear, you can clear out all system files and flash back to stock which will generate new files.
However, it is not necessary to run a master clear for all roms to be flashed. For example, I went from cognition to Paragon without running a master clear and its been a fantastic experience thus far. So, if you didnt run a master clear, your phone still retains its battery file and may take a while to learn its averages. Running a clear battery stats can help your phone learn faster.
To explain this further, take a look at a statistically normal distribution (bell shaped curve). Over time, your phone learns what 100% to 0% is an all in between. Well, over a long enough timeline, your battery starts to get closer to the average which means it will start to say that 98% is a full charge and continue to decline. Its just what happens with batteries. If you clear out this timeline, you start to generate new means. This will not restore the life of your battery but it will give your phone the ability to be more accurate about its current state.
Thank you for responding, including where you disagree.
I misunderstand what the screen and odin say when you flash. They both say they are clearing and wiping the data and cache. I almost never do a "Master Clear" from odin.
So when the ROM process says its wiping DATA, CACHE, SYSTEM etc. the respective folders on your phone aren't deleted? That is where I was getting the basis for my commemts. Along with observations when flashing ROMs. Like starting with 60%, using odin to go to stock, leaving md with half of what it said before, flashing a new ROM, and having that ROM say 80%. Then rebooting the phone to have 50%. Then plugging in and rebooting to see 80% again.
If I'm wrong I apologize. All the info I know from flashing ROMs is reading my screens, and interpreting my observations. Maybe my phone IS jacked up, it does this everytime I don't charge to full with the power off before I flash a new ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I didn't charge to full before I flashed either. I'm not an expert by any means but what I posted is my understanding of what happens.
As for what your phone says, who knows what I really is doing. I mean the general process is understood but the specific files and folders that are cleared would be hard to identify.

i can only get my nexus s 4g to charge up to 97% if i have wireless tether enabled... otherwise it considers itself full at 95%
not sure whats up with that
so i understand the calibration gig, or at least superficially think i do, but i'm having a problem. as soon as i charge to 100 and click calibrate it immediately says it was successful without allowing me to drain the battery. this didn't use to happen. somehow i don't think i'm calibrating properly anymore. thoughts? am i completely off base and this is correct?
thanks in advance everyone

What do you mean by "allowing me to drain the battery"? When I click calibrate I immediately get that message as well and disconnect my phone from the charger. That's how it's always been for me.
that's reassuring. i meant that after pressing calibrate we're supposed to drain the battery for it to go successfully
Oh I guess this app doesn't work that way? I don't know I've never done that.
the way I understand it is that when you press calibrate, all it does is delete the battery stats file in the system. the reason you need to discharge it after that is because on the first full cycle the system will rebuild that file correctly to the ROM you are using.
Heys Guys Im having an issue with my Captivate, its was working fine for the past week. It started giving me problems like battery temps too high, cant charge, had to charge it manually, removing battery & charging it all night. All this happened when im with stock rom latest with leaked 2.3.5
& i did unlock this with changing the 01 digit to 00 in efs file.
From the past 2 days im trying to install CM10,9, 10.1..... after installation it shuts down itself. Not able to use it.
Is there any way around to make this work. If pics are needed i can provide that too.

When/how does it happen?
What are the changes/mods you made?
Did you restore anything?
Did you try different kernel settings?
Did you try flashing a different kernel (like Semaphore?) or flashing a different ROM?
I could be asking more questions but really, I dunno what causes it, I can only guess. Also a search in the CM10.1 thread might give you an answer to your SoD <-- Should've been your first step*

Battery temp to high is a big problem. Did you overcloak? Have you running bunch of stuff at the same time?
When it shuts down, does it reboot by itself or you have to do it manually?

Sounds like Battery health status does not equal healthy. That forces an immediate shutdown, whether due to temperature or excessive internal resistance. That's because once a Li ion battery reaches critical temperature, it combusts and destroys your phone, burns you and anything around it, etc.
GET ANOTHER BATTERY ASAP.
Stop trying to circumvent high temperature shut down.

I think it's not CM related but hardware related. Does this happen when not using the wifi hotspot too?
I'm thinking your battery is bad (even if new), charger is bad, connection is bad (maybe from water/humidity) or that your usb port is bad. No easy way of finding it other than testing.

May be yes, the phone some times just goes blank, i have to manually switch ON. The same battery works well in my frnds phone quite well.
Port dont know, i can copy files no errors even now when i plug it in on stock gingerbread the battery doesnt charge but can copy files as before.
Since the batt works well in other phone, a couple of ideas. Perhaps silly to ask, but just checking:
did you wipe battery stats in cwm after flashing?
did you clean the phone's battery terminals with a bit of alcohol?
what's the battery health,temperature and voltage history look like, if you can get it. you can log it with battery monitor widget or similar app. set to short 1 minute interval for testing.

Since two months my phone randomly reboots losing a great percentage of his charge.
It usually happens when i'm taking a lot of photos, increasing the probability of reboots when i'm using flash. It also happens when i'm using Navigator or anyway i'm requesting a lot of data on the net.
If the charge is under the 50% the probability increases also with the normal use.
The phone Hard reboots and the charge falls to 1%-20% depending to the initial percentage.

There are so many reasons it can happen. on thing id recommend is install ampere form play. Using this you should be able to monitor the voltage of the battery and at least know that it is operating within the correct range. if your 0% voltage is too high, it could rule some stuff out.

Cool. Just periodically check the app and jot down the percentage and voltage. keep doing that until its ready to shut down. preferably a reading every 10-15% if you can but really important is to try and capture readings just before and after any drop off you may see.

Perfect thanks for the advice, I've got it installed and now juts doing a full charge.
Following that drop out, the device then reported 7% battery so I let that go flat and now fully recharging.
If it's the case that there is something going on here, how can the issue be corrected? Does Ampere help configure reported VS actual readings, or does it purely show what's being drained?

Its worth getting a voltage reading now too then, to see if it is as low as expected. As for solution, we need a root cause first.

Ok here is my first screen. I'd browsed Facebook (web version) and watched a video or 2, battery dropped to 97% soon after.
Yep. Just keep going. Every 10% is fine. No more than that. Actual battery charge is voltage so we just want to see if there are any conflicting data sets later on

It just did it again!!?
I had even doing the Ampere monitoring but didn't go all the way down. But today I just experienced the random drop out again. Strangely when I booted back up, it was as if the cache had been wiped as the Android Optimising app screen came on.
This was from the other day though, if this helps?
The other day did it seem to deplete normally? I'm around 20%/right now and see similar voltage to you.
Sometimes my phone used to crash and when it booted up I had this graph / drainage issue. It's as if it goes into some manic sleep that kills everything. What you've got here seems similar. I don't think there's an issue with the battery cycle itself.
I'd be tempted to do a factory reset and start clean to be honest.
Is the back of your N6 lifting away from the frame? I had this issue too and ended up doing a RMA because the battery was bulging.

If it were the battery capacity due to bloating, I would expect to see the Voltage value to be wrong

Your battery calibration is messed up. It happens.
DO NOT waste your time with "battery calibration app" -- there is NO software you can install and run from Android that will have ANY impact AT ALL on the battery calibration. All those "battery calibration" programs do, is delete the battery stats file, and all the battery stats file does, is store a log of what programs are responsible for how much resource utilization -- nothing at all to do with calibration.
Battery calibration reset is done through the BOOTLOADER.
Reboot your phone to bootloader. Scroll to "bootloader logs". Press and hold power button until the phone shuts down.
And that is all there is to it.

Battery calibration reset is done through the BOOTLOADER.
Reboot your phone to bootloader. Scroll to "bootloader logs". Press and hold power button until the phone shuts down.
And that is all there is to it.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I have tried this many times and so there must be more to it than this. On my latest rom, I had wiped phone and clean flashed whilst phone was connected and at 100%. Therefore a new clean install whilst phone was at 100%. I cleaned that stats (for what it was worth) and also did the bootloader logs trick. I would have thought that would have solved the issue, but as reported it still happened.

Your calibration is fine because the % matches up to the voltage, which is all calibration matches.

It's hard to say. It seems like the system may be crashing or something at that time and causing an inordinate drain. Thats what mine used to do sometimes.
