Battery is going crazy - HTC Sensation

My battery just started acting a little odd. I just went to calibrate it and let it drain until it died. As soon as it died I put it on the charger and turned the phone on about 1 minute later. It went from 0% to 22% in a matter of 2 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

May have a rapid charge feature? I know some older sony ericsson phones charge really fast to a certain point, then they slow to normal.

Yea, I am still on the same charge when I made this post and it did slow down to a normal pace after about 30%. It's sitting at 97% right now.

[Q] One X's horrible charging??

Has anyone experienced problems with the way their One X charges? Mine charges blazing fast and well all the way from 1 to 90 in about an hour and sometimes an hour and half, but then from 91 to 100 it takes easily another hour... and not just that, if i use the phone to talk or play a game while its charging from 91 to 100, sometimes it'll stop charging or even discharge!! i always keep it cool cause i know overheating causes it to stop charging for a while and I always make sure the charger is connected correctly both to the outlet and to the phone, cause if its a little loose on the outlet it also causes it to charge slowly i know all of that... literally I check everything and its all fine... soo just me?? or known from then HOX?? ive calibrated lots of times and it happens with all roms even stock ones....
EDIT: added a screenshot so u see wt i mean, and yes i did unplug it twice but that has nothing to do with the problem, it has happened letting it charge straight from 1-100 too
ive never seen this problem, it could be the rom/kernel too

well ive tried em all, currently running your LE rom and battery life is great on it and other roms aswell, but charging has been an issue with all roms since i rooted... maybe a bad battery?? though im pretty sure it was ok the first few days before rooting

It's actually how all Li-Po/Li-Ion batteries charge. Some manufacturers (cough Apple) show the phone/tablet battery at 100% when it is actually only at 90%. It's part of the reason when you do a full cycle of a phone battery you should leave it plugged in for at least one hour after you hit "100%"

HTC probably is displaying the actual battery percentage. (So it is at 90%). You could test it if you wanted by seeing how much current the phone is pulling when it hits 100%.
For example, I own a new iPad (yeah boo hiss). It will show 100% on the display, but the charger will still be pulling full charging current for 90 minutes or so. Apple displays 100% when the iPad is anywhere above 90% or so. It's the same reason why some phones will seem to take forever to go from 100% to 99% after they are fully charged.

aah well if thats the case then i think its charging accurately, cause when i unplug it exactly as it hits 100% it takes a while till it drops to 99%.. like i said battery life is good its just that last 10% taking so long to charge that bothers me.. also if i unplug it when its anywhere lower than 90% it drains pretty quickly even without using it much.. like if it lasts 12-16 hours unplugging at 100%, itll last about 6-8 hours unplugging before it finishes charging

Is it ok if i let the phone keep charging all night long while i sleep??

because it takes forever to charge the phone completely
It is fine to leave it charging overnight. I do it all the time.
I always charge mine while I sleep. I work nights so it's the only time I get.to charge it. I have no issues
It should be just fine
I do it all the time too
Nothing has happened so far
I also do the same and no issues but I read somewhere the battery can get damaged or the Mah can go down
Phone goes into trickle charge when nearing/at full. No problems with overnight charging.

This might have been true in the past with older battery/charging technologies, but isn't true anymore.
The capacity of the battery will go down over time with normal use. Unless you plan on keeping your phone for 10 years, I wouldn't worry about it.

[Q] OPO dying after 40% battery charge

Hey folks
Lately my OPO started to have some hiccups with battery. So the problem is that once my battery percentage goes below 40% my OPO turns off. When I try to turn on the phone it never boots up. Any idea why its happening and solution will be greatly appreciated.
Note: I tried to have full charge cycle (going from 100% to zero)but it never worked. I tried charging phone while its tuned off and turn it on once its fully charged but it didn't work either.
Thanks
Sorry to tell you but your battery is likely physically malfunctioning and no amount of battery draining will fix it. Odds are, your battery has started bulging a little already.
Do you typically leave your OPO plugged into the wall charger for extended periods of time, even after it has reached 100%?
I damaged both my previous Note 1 and even a laptop batteries this way. Both would just shut off after dropping to a number like 50% or 55%. Both batteries had a bulge.

When did this first happen? What were you doing? Skype call? Hangouts video chat? Playing an intensive game?
Point being, was it super hot when it first shut down?

It actually started to happen when it got really cold!!! I left my phone at - 35° and it was tuned off.
Yesterday I updated my phone with teamsak cm 12 and it got back to normal weird ?

So now it appears to be fine? It can go below 40%? I'm confused. Or are you saying that it happens intermittently?
Before I was in original CM 11S but after change my ROM it got back to normal and it goes below 40% by the way I know that its sounds so weird

New Xperia Z5 doesn't fully charge to 100%

I got a new Z5 yesterday and since then I've been playing around with it and I'm happy so far. Only issue is the battery level doesn't fully charge to 100 after an extended period of charging. Mostly it gets stuck at 97 or 98. I managed to make it reach 100 by turning it off and charging it while it was powered off. Is this normal? I've read that it's some sort of protection from overcharging. Really strange way to do it, though.
I charge mine overnight and it's always been on 100 in the morning
Are you using the supplied charger ?
Mine seems to take an age to go from 97% upwards... upto that point its as you expect, but like above i charge mine overnight and its always 100% in the morning...

yeah I am. guess this is what I need to do. I was waiting for it to climb to 100 so that might have made the time seem longer
I think from my limited experience it does seem to take longer to charge that last 5%, last night it ran out after about 10min it was up to 12% this morning because it ran out last night i charged it up before i came to work and seemed to take an age to go from 97% to 100% talking 15min plus... edit just to add i didn't use the sony charger this morning i used a charging station we have in the kitchen so that might have something to do with it also...

Yeah you are right the last 3-5% are long to charge
Tip. Never go down 15-20% it is better to keep your battery life

Battery life on latest 4.70 firmware f3111

How's your sot on this latest firmware guys and did you notice any improvements from 3.81 firm version? I'm on 3.81 and I'm disapointed about the battery life. It's too short...

I really don't know what you're saying. Sot means screen on time. On the 3.81 firmware I'm getting about 4h sot, just browsing, youtube mainly on wifi, a little bit of data traffic. 4h, no games with screen brightness at minimum is just pathetic... Bad deal with this phone...

He's probably saying that his phone takes too long to charge from 90% to 100%. With that said though, I have yet to update to the latest version.

Even without updating to the latest version, I sometimes experience that phenomenon. Heck, my phone sometimes blatantly stops charging for no reason at all and I would have to turn off the phone to be able to charge it.
No problems for me thus far, but the battery is extremly week. I wonder if undervolting the cpu would increse a little bit the life per charge cycle... Anyway, I regret buying this phone, but it's my fault entirely that I did...

Today I experienced the same unfortunately ... I plug the charger and nothing the diode is not lit and there is no sound that loads, under the computer immediately detects and charges ... I have to turn off and turn on the phone to start charging, strange is enough

Probably you have a bad cable, charger or even the inside charge circuitry could be bad...

Unfortunately, my problem escalated quickly. The phone isn't charging anymore and I've tried different cables and chargers. It seems like my xa has a hardware problem, thankfully though I haven't rooted and unlocked the bootloader of this thing. Gomna have to send it back for warranty.

I think it is because QNOVO ADAPTIVE charging
That adapts your charging behaviour
Like many of us leaves the phone to charging over full night that damages the battery
So sony added a featutre qnovo adaptive charging that adapts charging behaviour and if someone is one of those people who left there mobile to plug in full night
It will automatically decreases charging speed from 90 to 100 %
