For the last few months, my phone has indicated wildly varying charge on the battery. I will leave the house with 100%. An hour later, when I pull it out to use it, the charge will be 95%. Within 15 minutes, it will drop to 55% or so. Another five minutes will bring the low battery warning and the charge will be only 1 or 2%. Yet, when I plug it in to recharge when I get home, the charge level immediately reads 85%. What's going on?
