LG G2X Battery Drain Fix

Out of the box my phone was terrible on battery. It would go dead sitting idle after only 5-6hrs.
It was using over 150mA consistently just sitting idle, compared to 2-5mA now after doing a reset...something in the initial config...and maybe in the several lockups I experienced, must have done something bad.
Cycle the battery by letting it drain all the way down until you cant even turn it on.
Perform a full factory reset and let the phone charge fully before loading the phone up with 3rd party apps just to make sure you dont introduce anything new to the scenario that may drain battery life.
After the factory reset and battery cycling it works how I expect it to...glad I didnt get angry and return it right away.
*Factory Reset*
Settings-Privacy-Factory Data Reset
Few additional things I have found. since initial post...
1. I confirmed several times that qik video is a complete piece of junk and drains the battery, after factory reset dont re-configure it.
2. In settings-location & security settings DO NOT enable Use GPS satellites unless you really need to use specific GPS data for navigation...when indoors the GPS keeps looking for signal and drains the battery very quick.
3. Bluetooth seems to have an issue and is not power friendly at all...I have mine turn on at scheduled times only using an app.
Other Disclaimers:
As has been posted elsewhere the battery drivers are poor at best, you cannot trust the numbers being reported back. What I can confirm is that the factory reset gave me a useable phone for a lot longer than the 5-6 hrs I started with when the phone would physically turn off....regardless of misreporting battery status. So basically do the reset and keep the offending apps/processes off until a better version comes out, and dont trust the reported battery percentage.

Shrug... never had an issue. When I got the phone, I let it die before charging. Charged it up to 100% and have enjoyed a battery life that exceeds my N1 by at least 100%

My battery is fine also. I'm on hour 10 and just now got yellow indicator or just now at %30. This is without conditioning and without factory reset.

Nice info. I appreciate you taking the time to give a detailed report.
When first getting a phone, I always drain it and charge it up 100%. Doing a factory reset isn't a bad idea at all...

The battery drain issue doesnt seem to be an issue for many..obviously there is some sort of problem for others though...thats why I provided the documentation to show it happening.
...others also have not had the lockup/reboot issue, which I had too...maybe they are somehow related? Either way a factory reset did the trick...draining the battery to 0 was just for good measure just in case.

Yeah umm... when I downloaded that battery monitor widget its reporting a 1200 mAH battery... hmm...

Thats becuase you need to input your battery rating, default is 1200...The values are ESTIMATED ONLY, and were used to just graph change over time.

Yes default is 1200...set the value to 1500.

Yes im getting less than adequate battery life iwill try this when I get home. So far ive been having to charge twice a day just to get through the day.
Thanks for the tip.

Going on 16Hrs now without a charge and still with 24% left.
This graph is now including a nearly 2 hr phone call, playing a video over HDMI to my TV and a bunch of texting.
Notice the steeper decline in battery during the phone call has a nearly identical slope to the pre factory reset portion of the graph...which just shows how much battery it was draining off before for no good reason.

Battery life has definitely been improving for me on the second and third charge.

Im still having drain issues... .i wonder if I need to leave it charging even after 100% like you did...

My G2X is working perfect without all the issues some are addressing. As for battery life, I did have some phones before where it was horrible.
My theory is: If a phone comes with a faulty battery, it may be spiking (power) and making the device go wacko ... hence, memory loss, random reboots etc...
Since my few experiences with faulty batteries, I've just always stuck with the rule: "Go with only factory OEM parts or except a higher failure rate with knock off made in china batteries..."

The factory reset was the main factor that fixed the issue for me.
Discharging the battery fully then recharging to 100% may help in that it will calibrate the electronics and get a truly 100 percent charge.

It's actually good to do so.
Drain the battery completely (best before you sleep) ...make sure the phone shuts off by itself from low battery. Usually I play a game or watch youtube to drain it...
Plug it in and let it charge while you sleep...
The phone will have charged* to 100% long before you awake. *The extra hours it's been plugged in til' you awake. (I've noticed that our phone charges super fast. Anyone else?)
When you wake, unplug the phone from the charger.
Then turn it off and turn it back on...refresh it..
You're good to go...
Note: It's always nice to restart your phone, after you've been using heavy apps, especially HD recording, taking pictures etc... With all my smart phones I've noticed that the phone can tweak out at times after heavy use.
Hope this helps...

Ok yeah. I factory reset and battery is a ton better! When I first saw you post that you fixed it with a factory reset I was skeptical but after trying it, yeah it works. Battery (so far!) has been much better after the reset. I wonder if it was the root that messed us up?
Jinx did you root?

I think whether your battery is done or you just have to shut down the phone, get the full charge and empty the battery. You should repeat this 2 or 3 times with letting the battery cool down before recharging. If this won't do it I can't help you.

Don't empty the battery. Only let it run down to around 5% or so. Basically, follow the steps to calibrate the battery.
To OP
What apps do you have installed? What accounts do you have on sync?
What ROM were you using before and how was your battery life then?
And do remember it's a port ultimately so battery life likely won't be as good compared to an official ROM.

Firstly thank you two for your answer. I will calibrate the battery first and I'll give you back my conclusions.
Thkx again!

Did u try to calibrate ur battery after flashing the new rom.?
Try the calibration charge ur phone for 5 H's continous without intrabtion even it shows u that it's full charged donot unblog it from charging cost green lite is fake after that do battery status wipe from battery calibration application from market then use ur mobile till 0% then do full charge again like 1st time after 3to4time you'll see the deffrence thanks to mike1986 for helping
hit thanks If u like it ..

Best thing if your using stock battery is to monitor battery heat using battery monitor widget. If it gets to over 35 to 40 degrees and there's your cause. But as far as wiping battery stats is concerned you might aswell put your balls on the screen instead its a myth...... Explained here
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...s/ShsH+(xda-developers)&utm_content=Google+UK
Also, are you using the sweep2wake feature of bricked kernel? That destroys my battery every time I've flashed it.

All calibrating does is wipe battery stats, battery stats are wiped after EVERY full charge, I've had my sensation 4 months and flash a new Rom almost every day and I haven't calibrated in at least 3 of them months and I get a full days battery every single day. But whatever, listen to whoever you want but seeing as that article is by a google employee its gotta be pretty reliable. But download 'better battery stats', it gives you details on what's been using your battery and how much its used.

I tried reflash the rom and select "no" for sweep2wake tweak but it was installed anyway... So i don't know what to do... And it's overheating even if i'm just typing a text or an email... --" so much problems... Why me?????
I recalibrate the battery, there is some results but i must let the battery going down 2 or 3 times again and recharge it to have a real battery life, the battery life i had before --"
And recalibrate the battery means delete de batterystats.bin, and i never said that it increase the battery life but it (as it name means) recalibrate the battery level, have the real battery stat.
When you buy a new phone the seller ever say that you must wait the battery lay down before charge it again, there is a reason for that.
I think recalibrate the battery (delete de batterystats.bin) works to have a real battery life, not a better battery life.
And I don't really know the difference between the bricked kernel and the faux kernel on my phone...

hi there
after battery calibration u i'll get the real level estate of it, so that ur mobile won't do sudden shutdown or restart it self that's 1.
2nd thing is your mobile is draining alot of power cozing by some programs and u didn't aware so u need to watch all the programs that running on it and specify which 1 is cozing the problem and drain allot battery power by keeping cpu busy and over heat above alla that be aware that cpu overheat on cozing huge battery drain scientific fact in every electrical device ...
if u like it hit thanks
it manager musa91.

Thx for your answer it helps me a lot ta understand why the Cpu was overheating. You're right but recalibrate the battery don't give you the battery life that you had before instantly i think i must wait several battery cycles before having again the same battery life as before.
EDIT : I know why my battery is drained so much... it's because my CPU is always near 100% of using... I download cpu widgets to see if my cpy was used normally and i saw that it always using more than 50% even if there's no application (visible) open... So i'm once again lost... And i think that recalibrate my battery won't help me anymore...

Sorry for the double post but i see that my phone told me i didn't have anough battery to stay awake, but i pluged it in and reboot to the recovery mode and i saw that the battery lvl was 41% Oo and 30 seconds before my phone turned off because of not enough battery Oo
I must recalibrate it once again?
EDIT : and after reboot the battery lvl is the same as the recovery mode one... T________T
EDIT (2) : Look at the graphic, passed from red to green Oo

I'd recommend buying an Anker battery too, they have a higher rating (1900mAh) and you can get one from here.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/1900mAh-rec...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1334849876&sr=1-2
They last a fair bit longer than the stock battery and they don't overheat as much!
EDIT: They don't seem to be available on amazon any more but the link above for a 'Saner' battery looks similar

I didn't say that my battery was overheating, it's my CPU !!!!!

BTW thx a lot for the link below

Weird battery issue

For the past little while my battery has been draining very quickly. It turns out that my power button wasn't grounded and stopped working soon after the battery issues started. I got the power button replaced and ordered a new battery, but now the battery is acting even weirder and I'm not sure if it's a issue with the new battery or with my phone.
The battery will drain fairly slowly (six hours to go from 90% to 50%), but will then drop from 50% to 30% in a matter of minutes and then to 13% even quicker before the phone will shut down completely. I've tried wrong the battery stats but it doesn't seem to have helped.
I'm guessing that it's a problem with the new battery, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced any similar issues? I'm going to switch back to the old battery and see how long it lets as a test but I would like to figure this out soon. Thanks

Hi,
Maybe u can post ur battery stats to help us understand what ur using during the battery drain.
What ROM/kernel are u using?
Is the drainage during WiFi or data usage. If its data, how strong is ur signal?
There is so much that can be causing this so the more info, the better.
Oh, and is the new battery a knock-off? If so that can also be an issue.
Where did u buy it?
Thx

My battery stats from last night were mainly screen and maps. I turned off automatic updating in maps though. I can edit this post after I use my phone a bit.
I'm on stock everything but rooted.
I always leave WiFi on, but the battery has gone from 50 to 30 to dead when I wasn't connected to a network. My signal without WiFi is normally three to four bars, and WiFi is about the same.
The new battery is more than likely a knockoff. I ordered a $10 battery from eBay (my bad).
Sorry about not paying more info. I wasn't sure what else to post. Please let me know if there's anything else you need to know. Thanks

Well if you're stock(I assume you rooted but kept the same ROM) then maybe you can change kernels
or
Look for a ROM that has the stock feel but has tweaks that can save your battery life. There are a few out there.
But you'll get arguments that stock is not always the best ROM for great battery life.
Its a personal choice so look at the ROMs and pick one after you've read the thread to see similar issues/wants from it.
Good luck

If you are on Jellybean Stock then you should seriously consider using a custom ROM because Google hasn't yet released the perfect Jellybean like they released the perfect ICS in 4.0.4 update..
Secondly, you should try cyanogenmod based ROMs whichever have been great when talking about battery life (There are really awesome ROMs out there).
And follow the below mentioned steps and observe for a full 100-0% cycle drain times and get screenshots of battery stats with screentime and post here..
1. Turn the Screen Brightness to minimum; the tolerable value for you.
2. Remove any unwanted apps.
3. Keep WiFi switched off when not in use.
4. Set the multitask value by Going to Settings -> Developer options -> Background process limit -> At most 4 processes
5. Use minimum widgets and minimum home screens if possible
6. Uncheck the location services in settings. You can switch them ON when required very easily.
7. Clear Running Apps from Settings -> Apps -> RUNNING & also by long pressing Home button.
8. Clear cache at regular intervals and always use back button rather than using Home button
If above steps make a difference then it will become your style or else change the battery and get something like from OEM.

I took some of dark's advice, although I had already been doing a lot of that stuff. I'm not complaining about the battery life on the stock rom (I have already accepted that it's not the best), but rather the issue of having my battery drop from 50% to dead within 20 minutes, even without use (not at all normal for me). Does anyone know what could be causing that issue?

edit: i'm sort of wondering if my phone is reading the battery correctly. it kind of seems like six hours is a lot of uptime just to get to 50%, so the rapid drop to zero might just be because the phone isn't correctly reporting the battery's charge.
edit #2: my phone got down to ~30% battery no problem before it shut off completely. upon plugging it in to get the phone turned on, the battery had dropped to 20% and then dropped to 17% with the screen off and the phone plugged in

Your battery seems to be good enough to withstand the usage. There is one thing you can still try;
Let the battery drain completely and let the phone get switched off.
1. Now plug in the charger and on the phone go to your recovery. Here I suppose you have the latest CWM recovery.
2. Go to Advanced -> Clear Battery Stats -> Confirm by scrolling. Then reboot the phone and avoid using it before it's charged completely.
3. Now let the battery charge 100% and only after that you unplug it and don't interrupt the charge cycle.
4. Observe the changes in discharge timings. And also paste a screenshot of Screen Usage time by tapping on Settings -> Battery -> Screen (The Time on details...)

I'll try that later. I thought you were supposed to reset battery stats when your battery was completely charged so that's how I did it the first time thanks
edit: i'm just about to reset the battery stats again. my phone decided to show 40% battery as I was walking home, but then shut off and shows 0% battery now that i'm home and have access to a charger. i'll let you know what happens once the phone is fully charged. additionally, my phone will say charged while plugged in when my battery monitor thing says that it's only at ~89%, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. thanks again

Everything seems to be going well today. I'm about 8.5 hours on battery now so I figure I'll let my phone charge a bit. Thanks again, dark. Hopefully this time it'll stick.

Every battery exhibits different discharge curves vs voltage. The os estimates battery level based on voltage. It is possible that the batteries discharge curve is just very flat throughout with a steep drop in voltage near the end which would produce the results you are experiencing. Wiping battery stats has no bearing on this issue, google cleared up what battery stats really does over a year ago. Best suggestion is to drain the battery fully, charge to 100% and repeat the process several times. This will help both the batteries discharge curve and the os's estimation based on voltage. If the problem persists, buy another battery (preferably not a knockoff) and test again. If you are still having problems after that, you may have a hardware issue with the phone. Does not seem to be a Rom issue, otherwise the drain would be happening constantly, not just after 50%.

[Help] (XT1032) Erratic Battery Life & Extremely Long Charging Time

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your time.
I will try to explain as short as posible what my problem here is and what I've tryed:
Problem: Ok, so this started after I flashed my XT1032 and updated to the latest build of CM12, had some errors while flashing and had to flash a stock 4.4.4 rom, later flashed a CM11 rom to afterwards flash the current CM12 rom.
After about an hour of using the phone my battery jumped from 39% to 1% and my phone switched off , after this happened I could not turn my phone on and It did charge ither so I proceded to check around the web for a solution and the only one I found that actually worked was holding the Power key (not for 2 minutes, but for over 5 minutes) after this the phone turned on and showed 1% battery so I just left it there charging for about 2 hours, but when I came back to get my phone It had only charged 6%, this charging rates and times have changed since this problem started , sometimes charging the phone in 45 minutes, 3 hours, 26 hours and 15 hour which is the charging time im currently seeing. Besides this, I continue to get the same error where sometimes my battery is at 60% and it drops all the way down to 1% or in some situations my phone is somewhere around 20% but if I restart it (not a soft restart, an actual restart) my phone show 100% battery life, I have searched around the web and tried multiple solutions which I will list.
Solutions Tried:
-Flashing my phone once again.
-Waiting for a full charge and then wipeing battery stats.
-Full wipe.
-Cache and Dalvik wipe.
-Charging 100%, drain battery, charge to 100% and then drain battery again.
-Using different chargers (0.5a, 0.7a, 1a)
-Using the original moto g charger.
-Charge using PC.
None of this have worked or shown any type o progress.
I did have a water damage problem with the phone about 2 months ago but the phone was not affected by it in any way.
If anyone can manage to help me with this issue or give me some feedback I would be really greatful.
Update:
Phone seemed to charge properlly with a 2A charger, took about 45 minutes to charge but afterwards it discharged in under 30 minutes and Im back at 17 to fully charge.

No one else running across this problem?
It seems that I am the only one currently having this problem, has anyone else ever encountered this?

Sorry to keep on posting here, but I really want to know if im the only one running across this problem...

After about an hour of using the phone my battery jumped from 39% to 1% and my phone switched off , after this happened I could not turn my phone on and It did charge ither so I proceded to check around the web for a solution and the only one I found that actually worked was holding the Power key (not for 2 minutes, but for over 5 minutes) after this the phone turned on and showed 1% battery so I just left it there charging for about 2 hours, but when I came back to get my phone It had only charged 6%, this charging rates and times have changed since this problem started , sometimes charging the phone in 45 minutes, 3 hours, 26 hours and 15 hour which is the charging time im currently seeing. Besides this, I continue to get the same error where sometimes my battery is at 60% and it drops all the way down to 1% or in some situations my phone is somewhere around 20% but if I restart it (not a soft restart, an actual restart) my phone show 100% battery life, I have searched around the web and tried multiple solutions which I will list.
Solutions Tried:
-Flashing my phone once again.
-Waiting for a full charge and then wipeing battery stats.
-Full wipe.
-Cache and Dalvik wipe.
-Charging 100%, drain battery, charge to 100% and then drain battery again.
-Using different chargers (0.5a, 0.7a, 1a)
-Using the original moto g charger.
-Charge using PC.
None of this have worked or shown any type o progress.
I did have a water damage problem with the phone about 2 months ago but the phone was not affected by it in any way.
If anyone can manage to help me with this issue or give me some feedback I would be really greatful.
Update:
Phone seemed to charge properlly with a 2A charger, took about 45 minutes to charge but afterwards it discharged in under 30 minutes and Im back at 17 to fully charge.

try to reset the bettry turn on the phone then charge it for 8 hours then unplug it turn it off charge it for 1 hour and turn it on and charge it for 1 hour then wipe everything and flash system image again it should solove bettry problems

You try a stock rom flash? That sounds a kernel problem, you should try changing the governor :/

Well, it's really interesting to see that you made, almost, the EXACTLY same mistakes I did. I tried to flash cm12 wrongly, as well, had to go back to stock kit kat, and flashed cm11 afterwards. I'm experiencing some battery issues too, yet not so severe. My cellphone is getting really warmed up (like 39 - 42°C) and my battery seems to be draining a lot (battery lasts half of what it used to last under medium usage, mostly Facebook and WhatsApp).
I would be really interested in some sort of solution too, if you reached it.

My problem did start a bit like yours, my phone warmed up alot when charging and then the more servere problems started.
As of now I am going to try to flash stock rom as it was recommended and I will update you on how that went.

It didn't improve much for me. I flashed stock ROM (Brazilian retail xt1033 rom) and now I'm running lollipop (5.0.3). I hope it solves your problem once and for all!
Looking forward to seeing your results.

Ok so I went ahead and flashed a stock 4.4.4 rom using Fastboot, but the problem seems to persist, I did access the test menu
Code:
*#*#4636#*#*
And the battery info is the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
How ever I did not find any default battery stats so im not sure if this is what it should be like.

I wonder if there is any flashable zip we could use to remake the battery scripts. But this kind of thing is way out of my league when it comes to Android. Recently, I noticed that what is really wasting my battery are the "android system" apps. Dunno if there is anything we could do about it though.

Can I ask for a favor? Is there any way you could check your battery info by going into the test menu and then getting a screenshot of it so I can compair them to mine?

Thanks, you have to go to your dialer and input the following:

In that menu the should be a "Battery Information" option, if you could get a screenshot of that I would be really grateful

Cool stuff haha!! It is in Portuguese but I can translate to you:
Battery status: not charging
Power: disconnected
Battery lvl: 100
Battery scale: 100
Battery integrity : good
Voltage : 4250mV
Temp: 29.5 (don't know how it dropped)
Couldn't upload pictures, I'm still newbie here in xda

Ok so the main difference seem to be my voltage, mine shows up as 3701mV and maybe that has something to do with my charging problems, and also my temperature dropped to 29.7 after the stock flash and that is a big leap since with cm12 it was at 34.2 ussually.

After re flashing stock, I flashed ehndroix V, and it kind of solved the overheating problem. I don't know if it is a solution though.

At this point im willing to try ant solution that my may help (If it dosen't end up permabricking my device...) So is there any way you could send me a link to this rom?

There is a thread for the rom. It is in "moto G android development". I can't send you a link yet. Need to wait 10 posts until they allow me. Anyway, it's not hard to find, and you can always look Ehndroix V on Google.
Search for the rom developed to our device: "falcon"

Ok thanks, I will check it out and update you if anything works.

Update
Ok so using the stock rom and a 1500am charger my battery seems to be charging a bit quicker, as for now it takes about 7 hours to completely charge, but I can get that done during the night so it is not such a big problem now, I am still looking for a way to completely fix this issue.

New battery, 4V reading after 33 minutes of display... WTF

Hello!
As you may guess from the title, I just changed my battery and after having it charged fully I noticed the the voltage reading on CPUZ was 4300+V after many minutes browsing the net over LTE. Although I'm no genius in voltage and stuff, it seemed to me a little strange and I kept tracking the reading. Right now is about 40 minutes that the display is always on and the OS says 100% (I bet it ain't right :good.
Now, may I have broken the SoC while changing the battery so that the reading could be altered? May this new battery have come from the future where it can store enormous amount of charge thanks to alien technology?
HALP I don't want my phone to explode like a Note 7 :crying:
EDIT: the voltage now seems to have increased even though I did not connect it to the AC. Now I am going to sleep, hoping that I do not blow up. Wish me luck.
EDIT 2: Before going to bed I rebooted the phone. After the reboot and around an hour of screen time it has consumed about 33% of the battery (I had those low consumptions only with CyanogenOS 12 LOL). The SO now seems to be reading the battery correctly. What could it be? Still hoping not to burn down during the night... Good night!
EDIT 3: https://goo.gl/wKB4Bs
EDIT 4: That's my actual situation:

This graph shows percentage and voltage of the battery over almost 24h. At first i'm charging, then i use it normally. After many attemps like this one i noticed that the battery life is now normal, but the percentage is still f up. Maxium voltage was around 4.3V, which is fine i guess

Well readings are looks like normal but this is anormal of course. Maybe it is a new battery so it's opening state maybe you need couple cycles to make it adjusted. Is the battery original? And you done all correctly? Maybe clean flash fix it or use it until its dead and recharge while phone off to %100. Keep me updated.

Just do a full discharge-charge cycle and keep it plugged in overnight with a powerful 2A charger. Sounds like your battery needs to recalibrate and that's what this does.

I think it's common bro. No need to worry
I always have that kind of discharge voltage

Thank you all for answering Now let's have an update:

I assume it is that's the one https://goo.gl/cJ1FKh, and again I assume i've replaced it correctly. i Will try a clean flash as soon as i can.

Maybe the voltages are but the percentage is crazy tho!
Now i have few updates:
- if i fully charge the phone, it will keep the reading at 100% until i reboot the phone
- the OS is able to keep track of the consumption until the battery percentage goes below 100%
- rebooting the phone changes the percentage reading always (LOL)
- i did not notice any real increase of the battery life compared to the previous stock battery
Here 3 screens i've done, the first two are from yesterday after the first full charge, the last one has been shot right now. and the phone got detached from charging around 11:00.
The mystery deepens....
EDIT: Just rebooted, 70% battery displayed from 100% rapidly decreasing

Still sounds very strange. I suggest you to go FULLY stock(like out of the box stock) and then use it with stock firmware for a time. Maybe it helps..

I hate stock ROM, i'd rather replace back the stock battery instead. Putting aside personal preferences on ROMs, how can changing ROM alter the reading of the battery? I mean, it does depend only on the voltmeter reading, and that's HW. Are there different ways to interpret the voltage reading? If so, i'd like to see some examples. Just curiosity

yes it is up to voltmeter but voltremeter sends its readings TO the software and i think there is a somekind of cache. And when you unplugged the old battery and replace the new one it might corrupted the reading. But on the other hand replaceable battery phones can do this switch w/o problem. Maybe there is something special or additional thing going on there. And not flashing any other rom but going back fully stock might be the right solution for you because it flashes and deletes everything. Resets everything. After that reset you might as well flash twrp again and flash custom rom again. But maybe theese all just an theory and going back to stock will not help. Maybe only faulty thing is battery but you wont lose anything with trying. As long as you backup your data

I went back to stock (still unlocked bootloader tho) and fully discharged the device then fully charged. Now, at 100% reading i unplugged the phone and started an AnTuTu benchmark to see what happens. Again it was still showing 100% after 2 full tests (the device was crazy hot on the camera, i know it's normal) so i rebooted. After the first reboot was still 100%, after a second reboot it showed 89%. Let's keep testing... Any idea? @zaoms

Hmmm, if you even went back to stock and that not helped i am really thinking your battery is faulty. Have you ever watched oneplus one battery replacement videos on youtube to see if you really done it properly?

Actually now, around 50%, it started behaving normally I think that the stock "needed time" to recalibrate. Rebooting now seems to not giving any problem and the discharge time seems to be reasonable. Now i am flashing back Sultan, let's hope!
By the way i followed the ifixt guide here

well great then! i assume something has been ressetted when you went back to stock and now it collecting data from your battery or something. And put this things together it starts to behaving normally. I hope it continues like that:good:

It's because of sultan's battery driver. He has changed some voltage thingy (AICL, remember @zaoms). But I'd suggest you to flash another ROM like LineageOS to check if it's the same as stock COS in terms of battery "calibration". Let me know what happens.

The mistery deepens even moar... I'll try as soon as i can but i need a stable ROM right now because i have an exam tomorrow and i need to prepare my cheating table for phone and weareable xD
I'll try tomorrow tho, thank you guys ^^

After few days of testing I'm back!
I'm using the stock rom for a while now and unfortunately the battery has not "calibrated" or whatsoever. Nevertheless i've found a pattern in the battery readings fluctuations. Here's the roll:
1) battery completely discharged
2) charge while turned off until it says 100%
3) turn on the phone, it will now say 88-92%, let it charge until 100%
4) reboot and hope it still says 100%, otherwise go back to point 3
5) use the phone until it powers off by itself
6) turn it back on and it will say something like 60-70% remained battery
7) use the phone until it powers off by it self
8) turn it back on and it will say something like 10-70% remained battery or be really discharged
- if still charged use it until it's really discharged
That's how a battery cycle goes right now with stock OS and unlocked bootloader (just fyi). Any idea of the reason behind this abnormal behavior?
Curiously, when try to turn on the phone in the end it vibrates, does not turn on and does not shows the low battery warning, why?
I'd like to point out that sometimes the reading of the voltage of the battery increases for a moment then goes back to normality while discharging (is this magic?).

Update: i was charging the phone while turned off from 0% and it showed to me the low battery sign., after a while it started charging apparently correctly.
Now after 1h the phone was showing 100%, i detached from the AC then connected again and it showed 100% but started to decrease the charge until 68% then again started charging. LOL

Update: seems like i've get what's not working!
What is broken right now is the charging: the phone is not able to understand how to charge the battery fully. Right now i've found a workround:
- turn off the phone and connect to charge
- wait until you see 100%
- unplug, wait few seconds to let it turn off
- plug again and watch it going backward from 100% to the real percentage
- repeat until it will not fall back
Now it gets really charged up to 100%. How can i automate this?

I saw your link on the ebay feedback profile of the seller. I have the exact same problem and am pretty sure the batteries are just low quality and faulty. Its the second battery this happens. Exactly the same thing. The first time I got such a battery I fully discharged the phone up to a point it wouldn't even get to the boot logo, and the battery died. It wouldn't charge at all and that was the end of it. I don't believe there is any way to fix this but to buy another battery and pray.
