Help Battery Indicator

Battery indicator seemed to work fine for about 3 weeks upon receiving it, then started shutting off at around 15% (previously had been able to let it go down to 5 ...didnt try any lower), then started shutting off in past 3 days between 15 and 20. After yesterday's shut off around 20-25, I recharged it to "Charged", unplugged, and it has been showing 100% ever since, even though I have had it on for 17 hours. Rebooted. Still shows 100%. Turned off. Still shows 100 when I turn it back on. Turning it off seems to have reset my Time on Battery as well.
 
Allow the phone's battery to completely discharge and then charge it full. Do that 3 times. It should "fix" the issue.
That's the old Eclair/Froyo power calibration advice - and there's an update on that -

So, full power off will do the same thing.

What the OP is describing is almost certainly a stuck bit in silicon - something that you could fix in the old days by a one minute battery pull.

With fixed batteries, manufacturers have provided an equivalent power/silicon reset by button manipulations.

I don't have this phone and will bow to anyone who does, but I found a OnePlus statement on their site that indicated to me that you'd get that by cycling power, specifically by holding down power for 20 seconds, 5 times.
