Question Odd battery thing

hello all
i have a question please
my battery is acting odd
if i charge my phone , and then unplug it ... it will still charge by itself a few points.
for example if i remove the charger at 80% and then leave the phone alone it will charge by itself in the next hour to about 84-85
if i charge to full ... it will show 96% ( which i know is normal ) and then charge to 100 by itself
it does not matter which precent i unplug the charger from it will still do this

i tried different kernels and roms , the problem still shows

using the default battery that came with the phone

any ideas please ?

thanks

easy fix, pull the battery without turning off the phone.

correct one, let the phone drain the battery till it shutdowns itself or until you have like 5%

Have you tried replacing the battery? or it could be something in the rom that thinks its charging but i wont be! I used to have the same problem. I just flashed my original kernal from the insecure one i was using and it just fixed itself, but if youve already done that..

Have you had any other problems regarding the battery? for example a drop in battery life etc?

then pull the battery till it doesnt lower the fuel gauge if that doesnt works then replace the battery may be damaged as iGeoo said

ok let me explain while the device is turned on and in use you pull the battery and sometimes it will turn back on with a lower read of the fuel gauge (think of pulling the battery of a blackberry lol). after that it should start to give better readings.

also battery can be damaged by just heat and over-recharging it (leaving it connected for a long period of time after it reached its 100% of capacity)

Your welcome.

You can always re-root after youve made it stock again. Cant help to try i suppose.

Hope it helps
