There have been reports elsewhere on the forum that the mobian kernel is stopping charging before 100%, possibly as a strategy to reduce battery capacity degradation in the long term. Other distros don't seem to be doing this. Did you see any difference in behaviour between distros?
Depending on whether the phone is suspending, and what power state the modem is going into, you could see long or short battery life. Assuming there's nothing faulty, a few hours suggests the modem is in a high power state, and the main cpu isn't suspending - and possibly that the display is kept on. The back of the phone being warm an inch or so below the camera would be indicative of the modem using a lot of power. If your phone is cool and the screen is off, but the battery life is still short, something odd is happening.
Random charge level reporting seems odd - I've not seen that, so it may indicate a fault. I'm not familiar enough with the battery management hardware to narrow it down though.
