Battery issues?

[I3unny]

Hi I have a Lumia 520 using it since 20 months.. I noticed a strange thing today. My phone was charged to 96% when I removed it from charging cuz I wanted to make a call and after I ended the call I noticed the battery was charged to 100%! And then I changed the regional format of my phone.. When the phone restarted the battery went down to 24%!! Pls help.

Edit: I removed the phone battery for a while and when I tried to start my phone it didnt start. So I plugged the charger in thinking phone battery might have got dead.. after I plugged in the charger, phone keeps on restarting and only thing comes on screen is "Nokia" . is the battery completely dead?

Have you tried performing a soft reset?

The phone was not starting at all mate xD

I just kept the battery in sun light for 1 hour and its working good again now guess even batteries need vitamin D XD

Sometimes when the phone is completely dead, a force soft-reset (in this case a force soft-start) usually works for me

What's force soft start?

Its nothing but restarting the phone with the soft-reset combination. When my battery is completely dead and I have to start my phone with minimum charge I usually plug in to the charger, wait for a few minutes and then try soft-resetting my phone which other wise would not turn on until it automatically restarts
