I have bought this phone 2 months ago, and it is working OK, but I have a problem when charging it:
The screen is switching on and off every 30 or so seconds, and it seems to me, when it gets to 100% full, the phone freezes, since I can unlock the phone when it is not 100 full. The ROM is a stock last 2.3.5 version, and it was the same on the earlier version.
When I come to the phone after some time, the back side above the battery is hot, and the only cure is to remove the battery. If I do not do so, it will drain the battery in a matter of hour or two. Not sure what can causing it.
The other thing is that sometimes I cannot activate BT or Wi-Fi. Icons are flashing but it wont enable it, and after some time, especially with the WiFi it will again drain the battery.
Any thoughts?
P.S, I cannot locate the previous owner of the phone, so the warranty service is not an option

Hi All,
Got this funny problem since I have flashed TNT WM6.1.
My mobile battery shows some funny traits.
1. It can suddenly go off (even if the bar is at 87% or 63% or 30% or anything of that sort)
2. Once it goes off, it gets into a loopback of restarting the device, goes upto the screen where WM6.1 logo appears and restarts again.
3. The only way I can then get it restarted is to get it to plug to a powersource.
4. When I plugin it shows within 5 min that the battery is fully charged.
5. I use audio manager a lot and its like every 30 seconds 1% of battery is gone.
Have search through the forum but haven't found anything like this.
Anyone has face a similar problem and found any solution?
Any help will be much appreciated.
I am on SPL/IPL 3.08.
Time for a new battery....
I ran across the same problem. It turned out that the terminals on the battery were seriously worn down so much that the battery couldn't hold a charge to safe it's life let alone mine!!!! I went to a battery store and replaced the muthaf^$#a!!!!!
Go grab a new battery and you'll be electric sliding again in no time!!!!
Thanks Trej3k. Much appreciate your response.
Yeah
Had the same issue.
Replaced the battery ... and now everything is fine.
Now I don't expect 5 days without recharge but at least 2 days.
Along with the new battery I bought an battery charger so now I can use two batteries.
The nice thing is that the old battery is lasting at least as the new one, Maybe because of the charging more regularly and not so frequently and because both batteries never go in usage when they are hot of charge.
Try your thing

I had the same problem pretty soon after I flashed my ROM for the first time. I would charge to 100% and then browse the Internet or take a call, and the device would reset within a couple of minutes b/c it would think it was out of power. The timing may have been a coincidence; I don't know. I bought an extended battery and everything works fine now.

I had the exact same problem right after flashing to wm6. I really wonder if it's a coincidence.
I ordered a new battery today because I have exactly the same problem. I also apeared after flashing WM6.1 a while ago an became worse with time. Since my battery is 3 years old, it could also just be a battery at its end of life...

Hello, I have a HOX with Clean Rom 1.1 it acts very buggy and will randomly restart, at times and be unresponsive. Then when the battery completely dies it will only charge by PC till it hits like 10 or 15 percent.
The current condition of the phone is that it is completely charged it has not randomly restarted in 4 days but thats because I took the SIM card out and it doesn't run the battery out. I was curious if I have a setting that is causing this or if flashing the kernel or another ROM might alleviate my problem.
My battery seems to be on the outs. It's mostly been in the last couple of months that it really fell off a cliff. I've tried factory resets to different versions of Android, I've tried letting it drain to empty before recharging, I've tried a custom kernel. No dice, it won't last me more than 8 hours even with under 30 minutes of screen on time (google now turned off). Even that might be manageable, but the real magic happens with any kind of non intermittent screen on time. See screenshots for an example from yesterday. The battery basically just falls off a cliff if i have the screen on for 15-20 minutes at a time. What do you guys think? Is this just a case of a failed battery? Was using the charger that came with my Nexus 10 a fatal mistake?

Agree/disagree/thoughts? If this is a hardware issue would it maybe worth installing one of the dubious replacement batteries available online?
I've got this same problem with my old Xperia, when the battery reached 90%, bam! in 0,1 milliseconds went to 0%. I tried all kind of resets/roms/kernels etc. with no success, so I bought a new battery and voilà, never again.
I have the same problem. If I'm playing a game, the battery life on mine drops from 99% to 0% in 20 minutes.
It drops so quickly that phone just shuts off without giving me any warning that the battery life is low. It still thinks it's at 80% when it does shut down unexpectedly.
If you have warranty from play store google (maybe lg even if it s not from play store)change the entire phone if you have battery problems, since it s not removable.So we have 2 years warranty even for battery instead of 6 month for removable ones .They changed my phone due to battery problems after some test with the call center employe from google.Mine it s 1 year and half old,and for sure 2 months before warranty expiration I will ask for another one.I don t know if it s the same in your country,but I m in Italy and phone was bought in google play
I have a huge problem with my HTC one mini. I can have my phone full charged and when I take it off, and run something that uses a lot of power, it dies, at 95%. I can immediately turn it back on and it reports 60% or even 1%. It is acting up, and it happens on stock and custom rom as well. Any ideas?

Let me know if you need more info to fix the problem
Thanks:good:
Hey there. I'm new here.
I had the same issue, and from what i've been able to figure out the battery is dead... Well dying.
Mine totally died a few days ago and i can't even charge it anymore. Charging led not turning on, let it charge 24 hours, still nothing.
I've seen a lot of "fixes" where you reset a lot of stuff and so on, but nothing has worked. And since it's completely dead now well i guess it can only be the battery.
The phone is pretty easy to disassemble and change the battery, in my opinion, if you have the right tools of course
I think you can get a new battery for around 30$
Hope it helps
Ps: mine did it with stock rom, and custom rom, old ones and new ones. Started a few months ago dying at 60% and lately it turned off with 85% battery left.
I bought my phone new when the Galaxy S6 first came out and have not rooted it.
For while now my battery life has been bad but consistent, or I would say acceptable given what is running in the background. With normal usage, including connecting to a bluetooth watch, LTE, and location services on, my phone battery would drop from around 100% starting at 7am to around 70% by noon. On weekends when I'm just at home and have it on Wifi instead and no bluetooth, it takes until around 6pm to drain to 70%. These numbers have been consistent, give or take 5% for over a year.
The problem started recently when I received an OS update. I can't remember if I was already on Android 7.0 before this update and it was just a minor update for something else, or if this updated me to 7.0 from 6.x
The first week after the update the battery was great. With no change in the way I use my phone I was able to go the entire day without recharging. By noon I was still at 85-90% and by around 7pm it showed 60-70%. So I was able to go the entire day without recharging for almost 2 weeks after the update.
The problem started 3 days ago when suddenly the battery is draining like crazy, and it seems like there's something weird with the battery indicator and the way it's charging. Again, nothing has changed in the way I use my phone.
Now, when I use it, the battery will go down by 1% every minute. And even when I don't use it, it will be down to 70% by 8am and 20% by noon. The stranger thing is when I try to charge it.
Before, with normal use, it will take around 1 hour to charge my every night. Also, the indicator showing how much time is remaining is pretty accurate as well. Now, when I charge it, it seems to take a lot longer. The time indicator will sometimes fluctuate. It may show a realistic time like 45mins remaining, then change to 10mins, then back to 45mins. Also, the times seem to be incorrect. For example, before if I'm at 85% it might take another 15-20mins to reach 100%. Now, it will be at 85%, say it will take 40mins, but after 40mins it's still only showing 90%.
I tried restarting my phone normally, and resetting it by pressing the the vol down and power buttons. I also tried other power saving methods like forcing apps to sleep when I'm not using them. But for some reason, the battery is still draining like crazy.
At this point, given what is going on when I charge the battery, I'm wondering if the real problem is the OS update screwed up the way the phone is reading the battery's power and not that the battery is actually being drained. Maybe the battery in fact is still at 70% by noon even though it says 20%.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to be as detailed as possible given that this seems to be different from some of the other battery related problems I've read about on the forums.
Any help or insight will be appreciated.
replace the internal battery
