Hi All,
Ran into a strange problem with the battery indicator. I was charging my Jolla phone this morning. It reached 100% (said so on the screen), so I unplugged it and carried it around for 5 minutes (did not use it, so no calls, no web browsing etc).
When I opened it up 5 minutes later, the battery indicator said 89%
Is this a potential bug in 2.0? Or is my battery dying? (I bought it only 11 months ago)

Most batteries follow a sort of sideways 'S' shaped discharge curve, which means the voltage will drop very rapidly, then more or less stabilise, then start to drop rapidly again.
To a naive sensor, that'd look like losing a lot of charge quickly. Even if it is smart, it'd need to watch the battery over complete discharge cycles to calibrate itself, and could easily fall out of calibration.
Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about the top or bottom 10%. I've never found them that accurate on anything.

Is Aliendalvik running? Such Apps like facebook, skype, twitter etc. are started in Bg by starting an other app and draining the battery by high cpu load.
Under some conditions i had 10 % battery drain within 5 -10 min too, after them it stabilize draining. Android apps finished initializing and the cpu load is going down.
Check if some processes are running in Bg, using Crest or some similar app

I also suffer from too quick changes in battery capacity. Once this issue was due to battery contacts. But even normally I think the capacity indicator changes too quickly and unevenly. I suppose the reason is that the capacity is not calculated, but instead deduced somehow from the battery voltage. I wonder why.

Not that I know of. I am a "plain" user, I only use the email and web-browser and phone calls / SMS (but not for social media websites).
This has never happened to me before.

i have this problem too...seems like 3g is completely eating my battery (and my phone is 1 week old)...sometimes it even happen that i plug the recharge cable at (for example) 80%, then i turn off the phone and when the big battery status happear after a few seconds is already at 90/95%...really hope this is a bug...
