odd battery behavior

Hey all, I just have a question on some weird battery behavior.

I am running mighty 4.16 on my phone and the last two days when I got home from work the battery said around 65-70% left. Yesterday the phone was acting goofy so I soft reset it. When it booted back up the battery said 19%.

Today same thing, got home and got off about an hour phone call. Phone said 68% when I hung up. I jumped in shower, got out and turned on the phone and it read 17%? I am just wondering if anyone else has this happening?

Well, in regards to the one after the call... the battery indicator doesn't really update while in a phone call. I've had mine turn itself off while at 40-50% before.

After the soft reset, the battery percentage is re-calculated and displayed appropriately.

Yea, come to think of it i have had something like that happen. . long phone call, you end it and check your battery. You're like "wow! This thing actually is doing good on battery!" Then a little later you check it and it's dropped like 30 percent from the previous time.

Yup that is what happened today. yesterday though I was not on a call, the phone was just sitting there. No biggie, just thought it was a little odd.
