I'm happy with the battery life of my phone, I get several days of use between charges. The problem is that the battery indicator is too unreliable. The charge might drop from 50% to 0% overnight without the phone being used.

I've contacted BQ support and they told me to calibrate my battery. I'm going to do as they say, however I have a feeling that won't do the trick. I used to have an Archos Android phone in the past with the same problem that never recovered after months of full charge/recharge cycles...

Has anybody experienced similar issues?

The BQ Aquaris phone manual states that you should use the phone and completely drain the (pre-charged) battery. Afterwards you should completely charge and drain the battery the first few times to allow for automatic battery calibration.

If you didn't follow that procedure, I'm not surprised you need to calibrate your battery afterwards. (This is best practice on any Li+ battery)
