So for several weeks I had that - my phone heated up very fast, and very hot, in fact, even when charging the battery would deplete if my phone was in use (but if I left it on low power usage it's battery precent did go up). The battery is fixed.
A few minutes ago, I was on 1%, which happens to me a lot, I watch youtube videos, my battery goes below 15%, and I connect my phone so it charges, but the battery keeps emptying until it shuts down (it says 0% as it's shutting down) and then it starts charging "turned off" from "0%". So this time, my phone didn't get into charging mode, when I tried to turn it on, it didn't even give me the indication that my battery is too low to start android.
Right now it is unplugged, turned off. I'm about to sleep, should I leave it plugged for the night or let it stay unplugged? Is my phone hard bricked? It shows no signs of anything. (I'm on my laptop).
I did switch ROMs, long ago, but that didn't cause any problems, the battery problems were from almost the first week (when I still used the original ROM), but it doesn't make sense to me that it suddenly hard bricks when it's battery says to reach 0%. When it shutted down it turned off by android, not instantly (it turned off as if you would shut it down from the power menu), so I wasn't worried.

so I got my anker battery and I am trying to drain/full charge. I drained the battery and the phone automatically turned off itself. I turned the phone back on again and it still turns on. After booted it tells me theres is 2 percent left, so I open as many apps as I could to drain the battery and all of a sudden the phone just shuts off (kinda like when you unplug an electronic). Usually the phone would tell me that the phone is in low battery and would shut off itself, not abruptly like this.
so my question is, is what I'm doing damaging the battery? does that mean I have bypassed the bottom limit of the battery, which I heard is pretty harmful to the battery.
I've been having seemingly random crashes (phone turns off) since early December and I've been suspecting network problems since. But about 10 days ago I had a crash and when I booted up, as usual, the battery meter was showing 5% (down from ~50% just before the crash). This time, instead of turning the phone off and pulling the battery to get back to 50%, I just let the phone sit without doing anything after boot and let it charge to 100%. It hasn't crashed since I did that. I've probably jinxed it by posting this and the phone will crash again any minute now...
But anyway, could those of you (I know there are some) who have the same symptoms try this? So when the phone turns off/reboots and is showing lower battery, just let it sit and charge to 100% and see what happens.
My battery life keeps bouncing between 1%, 50% and 100% and doesn't show anything else, you can be looking at the screen and you randomly see it flick between all three values and even more weird, the battery menu is no longer listed in the settings menu and I have no way of knowing what amount of charge my battery actually has.
This morning the phone went off saying low battery (whilst also saying 100%) and when I turn it back on it shows the low battery symbol in the centre of the screen and does not boot-up, great, the battery must be dead. I put the charger in and the red LED light comes on and battery low indicator come on for two seconds, then switch off and endless repeats no matter what I do..
I left it for an hour doing that and turned it on and used the phone for 30 minutes without any problem, then it turned itself off saying low battery, and started doing another loop of the low battery and red light in standby mode round and round again even though it wasn't plugged into anything. I pressed the reset button and after that I couldn't turn on as just a standard, battery low message.
I did a repair of the phone, which surprisingly was able to be carried out despite the fact that the phone wouldn't turn on because of "low battery" before I did it (which makes me doubt it is low) and the moment I turned the phone on after the repair it was still "Low Battery" and refused to turn on, which is somewhat strange bearing in mind it clearly had enough battery for a repair.
I left it for 4 hours charging and I turned the phone on and it operated for an hour in a factory reset mode no problem, however the indicator cycling was still going on. I plugged the charger in and the sound for charging was made, but the phone showed as not charging, despite the fact it made the sound that it is (I think it is actually charging but nothing to indicate ti is)
Again I go into settings and there is no battery menu there, if I search for it using the hourglass it tells me no battery data is avaliable. I search for Stamina mode and put it in Stamina mode and it refuses because just when I hit it, the battery reader says 1% and it says battery is too low. With some good timing I manage to press Stamina mode when it was on 100% and now it's in Stamina mode with 942 hours remaining,, the phone has been on for 3 hours now and now says 950 hours remaining.
Meanwhile the battery gauge continues to cycle 1%/50%/100% all of the time.
Has anyone seen this before?
I did not have this exact same issue, but Battery menu disappeared and battery would mostly show 50% (and very rarely the real data).
Got my battery exchanged now, everything back to normal now. Might be Sony used crappy batteries (though as long as they don't explode I'm somewhat happy).
I sent it back to Sony and I am now am about to go into a third week with no phone.
For the last week they have been waiting for stock to exchange the phone, since they have no stock (no joke) I am still waiting and they cannot tell me when they will get stock.
The fact a mobile phone company have no stock of phones, is pretty funny.
Okay, so last night I charged my phone to 100%, went out and listened to some music on the road with a bluetooth headphone for about an hour. When I got off my car, my phone had 65% of charge left. (Didn't do anything besides music). Suddenly after 10 minutes, my phone shut itself off with a message saying, "Battery is empty, phone will shutdown in 30 seconds." Despite that message, I turned my phone on and it had 40% charge left which got me through like half an hour before it died again.
So, what should I do now?
Change your battery pal. I had the same issue and changing the battery fixed it.
I had similar issue with previous phone, when wear it in outer pocket during winter and phone get too cold it shut down and thinks that batery is drained.
Last night after a couple of hours playing game, i fall asleep accidentally with my game still running.
When i woke up, i saw my phone turn off. I charging my phone then.
When i plug in the cable, the phone start charging at 5%. As for my experience usually when battery drop, it start charging at 0%.
So, it make me think that my phone turn off automatically when battery capacity drop below 5%.
I don't have complain about it. Instead, its a great feature for me who have bad habit.
But i still haven't found how to setting it up.
I want to setting it so my phone will turn off after battery capacity below 10%, not 5%.
So any solution to do that?
