has anyone noticed an almost immediate drain of 2-3% once removed from the charger? my phone tends to go to 98% within ten minutes of just a few texts, sometimes when not doing anything at all. if i reboot the phone, it goes back to 100% and then the drain seems normal. it appears the battery indicator isnt showing correct levels unless rebooted once removed from the charger at 100%. anyone else??
yes, this is more common than people think. which really makes me question the accuracy all together
i have noticed after i have cycled my battery it improves but eventually starts again. we just notice it because we are staring at our phones all day/night but to the average user they're not going to care or notice, which happens to be the majority of iPhone users i am sure
I'm on 5.0.1 still, and on a rare occassion here and there my phone will do that also - be at 100% and just a short while it'll just drop to 98/99 with little use as well, however, i dont reboot my phone when it does that. I throw it back on the charger for 15-20mins and bring it back to 100 & it seems to mellow it out. Now, idlk if i'm crazy p skip the comments on that LOL) but what i've found when charging my phone is when i reach the 100% full charge plug icon, i leave my phone plugged in like that for an additional 15-30 mins. When i do that, i notice my phone standby/usage holds longer at 100% before starting to drop % wise. the longest i've gone on standby and just hit 99% was 7hr 9mins with 21mins of use.
I also only reboot my phone once a month because i really dont do much with it, mostly play TuneIn radio, and i'm not jb'en either - only some of the time when i reboot will i let the battery cycle to 0 & do a whole 'fresh' charge back up.
