is my phone or battery broken?

This is my second captivate that I got to replace my other one. The other one had amazing battery life and now that I have the new one, it" sucks".

Yes. Same everything. Tried calibrating battery. Everything that drains is off. Is it a faulty unit?

There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

Battery shows 99% when fully charged

So I charged my phone to get it to 100% and realized after looking at the battery graph that it had reached 100% but it was showing 99% and i had the amber led light on. So I turned off my phone and then the led turned green. After turning it back on, the led stayed green and the phone still reports fully charged but it still shows 99% has anyone seen this and know what could be causing it?

Happens to me to. Not all the time but more often than not

The battery charges to 100% then stops till 95% then charges back to 100% to avoid overcharge, and other potential problems.

Shouldn't the battery show that progress? And if that's the case, why is it that it doesn't always happen like that? Sometimes it actually reaches 100% as you would expect

It's a known thing and pretty much all smartphones do it, it just all depends on how the battery meters "lie" to you. Every manufacturer does it differently. Hypothetical example: When it reaches 100% and starts doing the discharge/trickle charge cycle the indicator may just stay at 100% even though it's cycling between say...100% and 97%, but when you remove the charger it may change to whatever the actual percent is. Or it may show you 100% and slowly reduce the percent it displays until it catches up with the actual battery percentage.

Anything above 95% is inaccurate to a certain degree on all modern smartphones.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

But then it sucks because my phone never reaches 100% and the green led doesn't turn on so I don't know when my phone is fully charged. I have to go into the battery graph to see when it actually reached 100%. It used to show 100% but after one day that my battery died on me completely, it hasn't shown 100% again

If you have CWM installed you can try resetting the battery stats.

That was disproved a long time ago to not effect the battery itself

I am stock so that is not an option for me unfortunately

You should unlock your bootloader and root before your OTA makes it so you cant
Just noticed mine stays at 99% to for about an hour then goes to 100% but.....takes about an hour to go back down to 99% even after usage.

I plan on rooting soon. My phone hasn't told me I have an update nor have I checked as of now. No plans to unlock bootloader because I don't want the tampered with flag in case something happens to my phone

Ends up that I was not giving my phone enough time to charge. When I had thought it had reached 100% it had not really done that. I left it plugged in a little bit after it said it was charged and at 99% and it reached 100% on its own

Battery drain

Sent from my LG-P509 using Tapatalk 2

Could it be you have latitude turned on? This used loads of battery on the phone I just had

I solved it by discharging the battery completely, then I did wipe battery stats and then i re-charged it. now after 6 hours its 94%

What's the typical battery time for the One S? I got mine a few days ago and it just seems like the battery drains away way too quickly than what I read on reviews. 14 minutes in and already at 83%? Yet all I did was use the 3G connection. But my screen consumption is 89% yet I have brightness at below half way, probably 40%. How is any of this possible?! I've got Google's Location service and Location and Google search options turned on, could this be it?
I haven't had the opportunity to go at it for the full day, so that's what I'm gonna do today and see how it goes.

Take a look at this (which will grow over time):

How new is the phone? Stock or custom? Have you tried a factory reset since you got the phone?
When I first got my HOX I was experiencing the same issue, it would happen ever so often. I did a factory reset and that seemed to fix the problem. I also installed CleanRom and I saw an improvement in my battery life as well. I know some people are experinceing heating issues that causes the batt to tank like that. Download GSM battery to see if an app is running in the background causing it to over heat. Also if you have your phone rooted you can DL SetCPU and set up a profile to underclock it when it get's too hot.

It's happened to many people before.
Nobody knows why it happens, but people say restarting it helps sometimes

Were you using Chrome with tilt scrolling enabled? (It's enabled as default) That can eat your battery in a few minutes. Or maps?
My only guess because the significant drain happened when screen was awake and phone on.
I don't think it's the signal bug... It shows your signal as straight green, so it's consistent.

Did anyone else think this would be a sense pun?

Check this one out. I went to bed with about a 75% charge and woke up with a completely dead phone.

Nope. First time anything like this has ever happened. No idea what the hell caused it.

I was having issues like this too. He's running Xi40. I had that problem with that ROM too. Went to bed with it fully charged, woke up with it at 47%. Huge down spikes in the middle of the night for no apparent reason.
Flashed CleanROM 4.5 RC1 and the difference is amazing. Went out for over 10 hours yesterday and used it moderately and only consumed 34%. Something is up with that ROM. I have CleanROM setup and all the same apps installed as I did with Xi40 but the battery lasts much longer.

htc seem to have issues writing battery drivers.
the sensation and evo 3d battery drivers were completely ****ed up and htc managed to only fix the evo 3d but not the sensation

The network signal in the pic is fully green, no signal drops. Signal drops show as red. Also, from what I've seen, the dropped data signal issue results in a really steep line, but not a dead vertical one. This looks more like the incorrect voltage being read, and the volt meter correcting itself.

Or, since the phone was awake and the screen was on, it was heavily loaded (process stuck at 99% cpu, benchmarking, etc.). Either way, nothing to see here, move along.

+1 on the volt meter not reading properly.

I don't think you will see a vertical drop, no matter how heavily you load the CPU. A steep line, yes. But the vertical line indicates an instantaneous (or near instantaneous) drop in voltage. My guess is still that on an incorrect voltage reading, and the voltmeter suddenly adjusting for the error. As others have mentioned a factory reset resolves the issue, its possible some residual battery meter data is left over from a previous ROM.

HELP!!!!!

my one x started going crazy yesterday, pressing its own buttons and what not. i rebooted and it stopped. now today its doing it again and it wont stop no matter what. i tried nandroid, factory resetting. can i use kennethpenns stock 1.85 update tool to go back stock in case i have to send it in? how does that work? does anyone have any advice?

is it the capacitive buttons? do you have a really tight case on the phone by any chance?

no gunny, phones naked and has never been dropped or seen water... havent really flashed anything in the last 5-6 days... its throughout the system... even happens in twrp, no matter what rom im using.... when i get home ill try to get an official update and see what happens... but i did notice its mainly in one spot, mainly middle right of the screen... example would be in the calculator app in portrait, it keeps pressing the number 6

Weird. Hope you get an easy fix.

Maybe it doesn't get any easier than this, it felt hot so I turned my CPU freq wayyyy down... Started working right. Now I have it at normal levelsvand its fine? What the hell? Its the first hiccup this phone ever had... Certainly is weird.. wanted to add also, tried to flash roms I had, it kept saying failed.... Would it be a good idea to save my pics on computer and completely erase the sdcard?

Were you using a ROM that was OC'd, or did you have your phone overclocked on an unusually high level?

No bro... Running h8's CM10... Minimum 384, Max 1512 on demand... I tell you what though, I am at work (welder) and in south Louisiana it was 92° and 85% humidity lol. Maybe there was condensation inside? Oh well, seems all is well now... But then again, I thought the same thing when it briefly happened to me yesterday.....

best way is to relock and ruu
and use stock for a while see if it happens again..
if so...go exchange lol
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app

That's what I'm looking to do... but Im Trying to read up on relocking before I try first.. never done it yet and I don't know anything about adb and fast boot, much less to ruu. But what's the odds of art or HTC rejecting me because of the boot loader stating "relocked"? Or was this fixed? And also what's the odds of rerooting? Should be good as long as I ruu 1.85 I believe.. that's what I was on when I rooted

Once you unlocked you can always unlock again. I wrote a adb primer. It's a sticky in general.

Gunnyman I often wonder what would happen to my poor phone if you weren't around lol... thanks, I must have skimmed over it in a frenzy looking for tools to relock and ruu..
I've been off of work for 3 hours now and my phone hasn't had one single glitch. So I'll give it one more day to see how she acts. I have everything downloaded ready to roll if it happens again... she acts up and I'll have to knock her down a few notches
