Battery discharge time not accurate?

[pseudoware]

Sorry if this has been posted. Anyone else experience inaccurate discharge times in battery settings? My latest is off by 2 hours.

As in the time until full discharge or how long the phone was off the charger for?

Yes, I meant time since it was last charging. I last disconnected from my charger at 3:00 PM PST on Saturday. The screenshot was taken at 6:00 PM PST Sunday. That is 1 day and 3 hours. The settings, however, show 1 day and 1 hour. (I did reboot a couple times, which is why time on battery and time since last charge differ by a few minutes).



I am 100% certain I disconnected at 3:00 PM. I made a note of it because I'm trying to monitor battery life, and I purposely disconnected on the hour to make it easier.

Strange. Monitor it and see if it continues to happen or if it's maybe a one time oddity.

It seems like rebooting is messing this up. I was fine since the last time I disconnected for 20+ hours. Then I rebooted, and it's off by 1:45. Anyone else experience this?

Are we talking wired charging or wireless (Qi)?

Interesting. Well, then, I can only say this: I charged my phone fully using the wired charger which I disconnected at precisely 9:00AM today. It is now 11:12AM and the battery screen correctly shows that I have been on battery for 2 hours, 12 minutes and some seconds.

Can you try rebooting, then check the battery time?

I got the same problem on my S3, started around the time I installed a cracked nova launcher.

This thread is in unacceptable condition; UNACCEPTABLE....

Yes. The time on battery shows zero (actually, 17 seconds) after rebooting. So, the "clock" gets reset not only by a full charge, but also by a reboot.

Rebooting doesn't reset my time on battery, it just seems to throw it off.

After a full night charge it seems to have reset it. But yeah restarting phone did nothing previously. Hope yours gets fixed soon.
