[Q] Battery won't show over 90% after latest update

[IrateCustomer]

I am completely stock on ROM and Kernal, and since the latest update I haven't been able to see a percentage of over 90% when charging my phone. Life is fine and has been unaffected, but it's driving me crazy. I'm not rooted at this time, and downloaded this calibration app. My concern is that it says to charge to full then calibrate, which the phone "can't" do based on what is being displayed.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Thank you for the reply. I'm familiar with that guide, but as I'm not rooted, and right now I'd rather not go through the effort (as little as it might be), I was just curious if this was a known issue or if there was a less time-consuming way to fix this.

I get this when changing roms and don't have 100% charge. Charge your phone with the wall charger. Keep it plugged in and pull the battery. Wait til you see a battery with a question mark. Then pop the battery back in, it usually says 5% charge. Let it sit plugged in for a few minutes with the phone off and when you power back on it should read correctly.

Hope I'm wrong, but I suspect that this is just a temporary fix. Phone reboots or pulling the battery whenever the battery is showing "full at 90%" will show 100% afterwards - it's the well known battery jumping issue that we've seen with Gingerbread. And sorry to say, it's still an issue after the recent 2.3.6 update. This really aggravates me also, but w/o rooting I guess we have to live with it.

Please post back if your issue is still solved after one or two overnight charge cycles with no reboot. Thanks.

@IrateCustomer

It's been a week or so since you indicated that you were once again seeing your Atrix charge to 100%. Was this a one-time occurence after the battery pull, or are you continuing to see 100% charge levels without the battery pull or power cycling the phone?

I still have this issue on Android 4.0.3 from time to time!
