Try to recalibrate your batterymeter.
Use your phone till it shuts off because battery is empty.
Take the battery out for a 5 minutes.
Put it back in and charge it.
Hopefully it's solved and the phone charges till 100% now |

@bezz - I did NOT know that BATTERY can be calibrated matey . . .  How's that ?
I just made NOTICE that OVER-charging of batts is possible . . . I mean if the normal charging time is (usually) 1.5 hours (drain to full) . . .then you charged it for MORE than that, say 2 to 2.5 hours . . . the battery ICON after the charge will NOT be in FULL anymore . . .

Not the battery but the meter that measures. Give that a try to reset.
It never went higher than 99%, that's what he says.
Not that the phone was to long on the charger and then it drops.
He lets us know if it worked. |

My K850i and a few others on this forum does the same thing so I'd put it down to a bug in the software.

Did the 038 FW do that?! I only got like 2%, but I am on 037.  |

Yes had no battery issues until I updated, now the battery lasts a day + less even after Ive chopped all power draining things back and the reading in phone status is out of sync with the green meter. |

the batters will reach its best performnce after certain time, after the second week ( usually in 2 monthes ) u can also discharge your battery once in a month, that also helps to get a good standby time

Never drain the lipo batt total, when the phone shuts off, don't restart it but
charge it first before you start
It's a safety shut off to prevent the battery from being drained 100%
because that's not good for lipo batt., it costs you standbylife
I always charge when it is about 50-55%. Many small charges will not hurt this batt, so usb charge is ok

@bezz - That's a NICE-info about the batt there pal. But I did do made notice that when I charge my fone with the batt ICON havin' a ONE bar (red-color) left on it, the batt performs looonger after charging it FULLY compared when the batt was charged - half drained  This was my experience with all of my  fones for the past nth years now . . .
