Battery starts at 98%

I typically plug in my phone overnight.

When I unplug in the morning it is coming from "100% fully charged" state, but as soon as I unplug, it nearly always jumps straight to 98% full....often within a few seconds.

What's more.....if I review the battery use under GSAM Battery Monitor it seems to effectively start from 98%......e.g. if my phone is now saying 92%, GSAM shows "6% usage" over the past few hours.

So it seems that maybe there is a calibration issue with the software vs my battery.

This morning I unplugged then immediately re-plugged and let it charge back up to 100%, which it did. But now it is still showing the 92%/6% used like I describe above.

Yes, I realize this isn't the biggest problem known to face our world these days, but just wondering if anyone has advice on how to get the full 100% charge in there (or maybe it is already there but it's a calibration issue in terms of what the software THINKS is full).
 
Try bringing it down under 10%, turn it off, charge it to 100%... Power it up (Maybe unplug first?), run till under 90%. Then power off and charge back up.
