And, sometimes when I turn the phone off and reboot it, while still on the charger, it'll read 100%, other times I have to unplug the charging cord and replug it, and sometimes it charges up the rest. Othertimes, just up by 1%.
My batter has been fully calibrated 3 or 4 times already when I first got the phone. Why would it start giving these off readings again?

Battery calculations are based on a formula..there will always be slight margin of error..that said you will never achieve true 100% unless you have a kernel that allows it...if you charge your battery externally you can get to 100% but not on a cellphone...
