While this is likely the result of a failing battery where the only fix would be battery replacement, there is one thing you can try. Run the battery down to basically dead. Then, plug the phone in and leave it for about 24 hours or until it is completely charged. This will help the phone re-calibrate itself to whatever the battery is currently doing and may help give more accurate percentage readings.
