Battery dies then back to normal - General Questions and Answers

I have an issue with my battery. Sometimes it starts to drain the battery VERY fast, like 80% in 20 minutes, then the battery dies and the phone turns off. But if I turn it on it starts with the ammount of battery it was before the crazy descharging, and the phone works as usual.
It is a pain in the ass because every night it happens, so I cannot set an alarm. Sometimes it happens in the day too.
It is upgraded to Android 4.0.4.
I forgot to say. I bought the phone and tried to update it. Something went wrong and the battery was low. So I coudnt use RSD tools anymore. So I opened the phone and did that force recharge thing to charge the phone up until it had enough energy to use RSD Tools again.

Might just need to clear battery stats. I'm guessing you didn't do a factory data reset after you took the update?

Hmmm. If you've done a full reset then it looks like it's an issue caused by the update itself. I've never seen a battery graph that looks like that.

its better to use battery calibrator app from market and use and u can also make 3 complete charge and discharge cycles and see ......if it still doesn't work then it should be a bad battery ......replace it
CHEERS
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED

you should replace your battery

It's been shown that all of that multiple calibration mess is bunk. Except in the case of errors battery stats are cleared on reboot anyway.

A new battery would be a better option, ok try one thing , take off the battery and keep it in the sun for 2 hours, then charge it full .. Use this.. N seee

I had a similar problem with my second thunderbolt. Finally I replaced the battery and problem was solved.

my magician switches off while battery is over 10%

hi somebody, i am having a problem with my O2 xda2 mini, i've been using it for over an year, what happens is it switches off automatically, while battery is still over 10%, and i cannot switch on it, it justs fades and fades to darkness, when i only connect to external power it come, help me let me know what i should do. pls
how abt charging the battery when it reaches at 20%!! why u letting ur battery reach 10%? u can charge it whenevr u want. the Li ion battery does not have a memory effect. u can top it whenevr u want..
Magician is not supposed to run dry. Also, AFAIK, I think Li ions aren't supposed to be run dry, damaging I think.
Magician will automatically shut down extraneous functions to save battery and preserve sufficient juice to maintain memory for a few hours despite your efforts.

i know, but there might be instances that i might not be able to charge but i think 10% is more than enough if i am not making any calls or not doing anything with my magician. anyway i'll recheck my battery if i need to change i'll do so.
asinan: you might think 10% is enough, but Microsoft don't. And for good reason.

So buy a new battery has solved ur problem?
I had this on my Magician too. At about 30% or so... I bought a new battery and sold the device right away, so I never found out if that solved the problem. But...
I have switched to a Mio device, and on their site under Support, I found some interesting info. If you fully discharge before recharging, the battery will live for 300 charges. If you recharge at 30%, it will live for 20.000+ recharges! It doesn't get any clearer than that!
May not be a battery problem
I'm having similar problems. Initially it goes off when the battery level drops below 50%. I bought a new battery and even at 99% the device goes off. Now I have to press and hold the 'ON' button for it to boot up. I am taking it for repairs since I am convinced it is not really a battery problem.
we have the same problem .. any help ?
I got the same problem, but I solve it myself, don know it work with your phone ornot
A day, I take off the back cover of battery when it is working, device off. Then it is on normal, but some time, it turn of automatically. I try to make the back cover and the back of device clean and take of the protect film of LCD, then now, it work OK. I am lucky
Please let us know the outcome of your repair. We have the same issue at 40% and I am not sure whether a new battery will solve the problem

Ive just changed to a new battery and found out that my old battery was swollen up a bit on the surface. Comparing to the new battery, the surface was flat. So if you have the same problem, maybe you should check your battery shape and condition first.
Good luck.

Your battery might be lying to you

Okay...?
The majority of the people here have rooted.
It won't help. I have deleted the batterystats on mine phone more than 20 times in the last 3 days and there is no change nor hope!
Let me rephrase by saying your ROOTED phones battery stats might be lying to you.
And for the guy who tried it three times and failed. I don't think you took the time for fully discharging the phone. That's right I'm calling BS.
Anyway got to go my battery just dropped 30%
Just wanted to let you guys know that this is completely true in my case. The other night around 2am I went to sleep with the battery around 68%. When I woke up 4hours later for work my phone was turned off. I then plugged it in and my battery was at 0%.
I was on the perfect storm Rom. I then switched to das bamf. Still happens. Tried bump charging and 0-100 charging and its helped but when I reboot the phone the battery shows about 7% less then where it was.

I think that is thy the stock battery icons don't show an exact %, b/c they haven't been able to make it work right. Don't worry though i believe that the devs will get it before HTC.
Ok my battery was just now at 50%. I restarted and now showing 41%. I don't know what's going on.

As I said, you can charge and discharge all day long, it won't help!
Thank you for reposting this. So sick and tired of people complaining about dropping 10% in a few minutes after a full charge.

I think this is a glitch. It drops like crazy after restart but then stays there until it "catches up" I guess.

So far,I have only rooted my phone, not a custom rom. I either have a crappy battery life, which seems better when I shut 4g down, or there is a glitch on the metering. My .02 worth.

Yes, this is true.... The LED turns green on 99% and never touches 100%. But i did not care much about it as I was more interested in flashing ROMS...though this is a problem.... I have also ordered Anker Batt... waiting for the courier...
I noticed mine did this last night. I just kept it plugged in and it eventually hit 100%. I took about 9 hours for it to hit 100%. Hope its not like that every time. Ill be finding out tomorrow.

well it hit 100 even when the led was green
I've noticed that the discharge is also a bit strange even on OEM battery. My battery varies very much. Sometimes when I reboot I get 5-10% more juice after boot without putting it to charge

yes same here....what can b causing it.....can it b smthing wrong in s-off procedure
Could it be something to do with the 2.3.3? Cause my battery acted strange even S-ON so I don't think it's the S-OFF procedure itself that caused this. Might be something something to do with battery drivers or something?
AFAIK Li-Ion batteries should never be charged to 100% because it shortens their life, most phones have a safety-mechanism to prevent overcharging.
Its intended to stop charging at 95% to 99%, but will almost always show that the battery is charged to 100% so the customer wont complain about it.
yes HTC is lieing to us, but for our own satisfaction.
So after we flashed the CWM recovery this "feature" is not there anymore and we can see the true charging state.
By plugging the power in and out over and over again to reach 100% you just damage your battery with those short charging cycles.
I read a interrestion thread about it in the Nexus S forums awhile ago and Wikipedia seems to confirm it.
I hope I could help you.

[HELP] Only 5 hours of battery :(

I can do?
Your phone usage is extremely heavy as indicated by the battery graph. You'll have to scale down your usage, no rom or kernel can improve much with this kind of heavy usage.
Ok tahnks, but i think there is any conflict or something
Install battery monitor widget and look inside in 1-2h who eat your battery.

That might be caused also by a widget.
I had installed a clock widget(don't remember the name).
When I fell asleep with 100% charged battery,in the morning the phone had just 20~25%.

I don't think the adb daemon will eat up *that* much battery, mine has never ever encountered such a high battery drain even though it's enabled all the time.

the battery starts to spend when active data (2G) or wifi. 10% every hour if I have wifi or data assets and off the phone just.
If they are not data or wifi battery does not spend much.

Theoretically you are right. Mine is also ON all the times. But in his case seems to run 50 minutes out of 5h and in normal situation you will never detect this service as long as you are not USB connected to PC. Am i right?
Exactly, in this 5 hours im not connect the phone to the pc
True. But by right it should not start unless it is plugged to a computer, so now the question is what's making it start? I would hazard a guess at anything that may use adb, for example aLogcat.
Okay, the problem is that coverage of my town is very very bad, and the phone is constantly looking for coverage. took 1 day in another town and still I have the 5% of the battery, almost 24 hours. problem solved, thank you very much mates

Not charging past 50%

My phone won't show that it's charging, but it is and it won't go past 50% I even factory reset it and same thing. Anyone else having this issue?
Are you using the charger and USB supplied by OnePlus?
Are you plugged into the wall and not charging via USB?
Yes and yes and still nothing.

Yes apparently this is an issue with the 64GB version, there is a video on Youtube saying to leave it uncharged for a full 12 hours then it should be fixed... i will try that then report back.

You'll have to recalibrate your battery, drain it complete til its turns off. Hold the power on, it'll boot and turn off to make sure its flat then recharge, it should take it til 100%

Don't do that to much, it lower the battery life and won't help much the best is to not over heat and don't let it drop less than 25%.

Nope i somehow fixed it...used an app called battery calibration it said it was possible to calibrate battery below 100% and that worked...
I gave up on this, I simply traded my phone for a G3, the guy I traded said he would fix it, since he has his own shop.
