both my sensation xe have the same problem.
I'm geting wrong battery levels and its driving me mad. tried six difrent batterys two original and fore anker. same problem on them all so ota not the batterys. tryed several chargers and difrent roms same problem on them all.

I can charge the phone over night and it displays a random value. if I reboot I get the right one. somtimes it show 100% when its more like 10%
its mostly anoying when the phone suddenly shuts down cuz it thinks its out of power.
sometimes it drops to 0% then 2seconds later it display 100%

anyone got any idea on a fix?

charging the phone never increase the value displayed . it seems to work if I charge the phone while switched off. this is alsow a disaster for my batterys health cuz the keap geting over charged

I would suggest to use battery calibration tool. For kind of problem you are referring to, it seems more like ROM or worn out battery.
Leave a phone to charge and read it's battery charge rather than value. It's usually around 4196. When you see this value, just calibrate it using calibration tool from google play. Do not charge the phone again until it's dead. Charge your phone again till 4196mV and hopefully the battery will show stable value.

Bad and worn out batteries will usually show random displays

It seems to me that either your phone is consuming a lot of battery or you have some problem with your charging IC. You should get it checked. Also, how about trying a different ROM. Does that help. Why not try CM9.1 or latest version of CM. I am using CM9 and it is very stable and fast.

I hope that also helps with your problem.

Seems like a serious problem to me on your hardware part really. If it supposed died that quickly which I am assuming, you will need to get your phone checked from a care centre. There must be some volts FLYING all over your motherboard.

I would suggest you buy a new phone and sell it off to a mechanic. (Better will be to ask how much to repair, sell it off ebay etc and then buy a new phone )
