[Q] Battery Died and suspect behavior - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I thought I had plugged my OPO into charger before falling asleep last night and it appears that I did not. It died around 3am. I was obviously unable to boot due to low battery and immediately plugged into AC charger. It initially gave warning that battery was too low and to wait to boot until battery got more of a charge. I waited until that message went away and it was showing the battery charging animation. I booted the phone and had the Android L boot animation going, then it got weird. The lock screen didn't have scrambled keys like I had set but still remembered my PIN. Unlocking it looked like a lot of things were set to defaults like the launcher and icons in launcher. 90% of the installed apps did not show up including system apps. It appeared like corruption on the internal storage to be honest but internal storage mounted to /sdcard appeared to be fine with TiBkup able to access all backed up apps and settings as it was one of only 16 apps in the app drawer. Battery showed 1% at this time. I performed a reboot and all apps restored but certain UI and launcher options were still reset to default including missing widgets, ringtones, and SuperSU permissions. So far I have not noticed any additional issues and all accounts appear to be working. I have my OPO with stock CM11s 38R (fastboot flashed/wiped over the weekend) with Boeffla-kernel and SuperSU root. If anyone else has any ideas as to what happened or if I need to dig up some logs, I should be able to do that. I have not rebooted since the second one to get most of my stuff back.

[Q] Motorola Defy+ keep rebooting

I have a stock Motorola defy+ updated to 2.3.6. Been using it less than 6 months.
I have about 150 apps. About 50 are games and all games are transfer into my 64MB of sd card. The rest of the apps are in the phone memory.
Recently the phone started constantly automatically rebooting usually after i change battery, it will stays on for about 2-5min after the reboot, then it turn off and reboots again. This goes on for about 3 cycle before it all went well. At times it only auto reboot once after start up.
Initially i thought its the app so i reset the phone but still this occurs.
Everything seem normal and functioning well except for the few ocassion everytime when i change to a fully charged battery (because i have alot of spare batteries) , it will reboot again and again 2-5mins after the reboot.
This happen everytime i change to a full charged battery, does the battery got to do with it?
in addition, my phone is always very laggy too and whenever I run too much application that consume alot of memory, it will reboot itself too but that happen seldom. My cpu consumption is also always very high and i wonder why because do not run any major background processes except those from Motorola service(quite abit), Super task killer and NQ mobile security app.
anybody can offer advise?
Thanks.

If ur phone is rooted try overclocking the CPU to make up for the number of apps. Also try partitioning the SD card and putting the apps there instead because if u put so many on the SD with apps2sd the phone gets real slow as it loads all of them
Read about rooting, overclocking and partitioning

[Q] Battery level stuck at 0%

About two months ago my old battery stopped working well and always turned off before reaching 0% so I bought a new battery off amazon and replaced it. Everything was fine. The battery lasted easily for a day and I didn't notice any problems. But yesterday my phone suddenly shut down. But it wasn't like with the old battery where the display just went black. Instead it showed the usual shutting down "notification" as if I turned it off automatically. When I plugged in the charger I noticed that the phone did show the lightning charging sign but was always stuck at 0%. That's why I assume that this problem is software related. Also when I am in the recovery I can unplug it and it won't turn off. Of course I already tried quite some things.
At first I cleared the cache partition - didn't work.
Then I downgraded from Android M preview to Android 5.1.1 using the flash-all.sh - installation did work but still won't charge or show that it is being charged.
Then I installed TWRP and wiped everything possible for several times and then used adb push command to move the latest cyanogenmod nightly to the phone and installed it - still won't show any change in battery level.
Do you have an idea what might be the problem and a possible solution?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried another battery?

Oneplus one acting weird

Hi!
Recently, my oneplus one has been misbehaving or acting weird. I'm running the latest CM13 (has been like this for the past 5 builds or so) and the latest boeffla kernel (also tried a couple of versions) here are the things it does:
Randomly freezes and turns off and won't automatically reboot (sometimes takes about 30 minutes before I can even hard reboot it sometimes the red LED is on and lots of unreadable partitions show up on my pc when plugging it in) and it will also enter some super battery drain mode where it can kill it's entire battery in less than an hour
the WI-FI randomly dies and won't reconnect until rebooted
Top part of the touch screen not really workig? Like the adress bars in browsers don't work but when I try to interact with the notification shade in that area it works fine...
Battery drain: not really an issue, just started happening today with nova launcher sucking the battery dry
And overall it's really slow...
I'm not sure if it's boeffla kernel or CM13 or the phone is just dead...
I tried to reflash a dozen times so not sure
Can anyone help me with this?
Same here but i have everything stock... Except Root and bootloader unlocked
Flash stock rom, make no changes don't even restore Google data just set it up as a clean device, and see if it's still misbehaving. If it is its hardware.

[Q] Weird Battery Drain + Indicator Problem

I'm not sure if it's more appropriate to post here
or on the custom ROM forum itself, but here's my battery issue:
Issue: Abnormally fast battery drain. My battery would
be fully charged, and almost immediately start draining until
it'd show 1% within 2 hrs. Screen would be off mostly (normal
use).
Been on a custom ROM since January 2017 (crDroid) and have had no problems with it since,
except 3 days ago, when the problem first appeared.
Things that are ON: LTE data (or Wi-fi), Auto apps update on
Google Play Store (never been problematic before), Location,
Things that are OFF: Bluetooth, ScreenCast, Caffeine
When I check Battery in Settings, the numbers don't add up.
I'd have battery indicator at 70% for example, but Screen,
Android System, all other apps would add up to only 7%. So
that's a whopping 23% unaccounted for.
But here's the weird thing: it drains fast until 1%, then at 1%,
the phone is supposed to initiate automatic shutdown like it has before.
When this issue cropped up, the phone keeps going for about 6 hours
or so before shutdown is started. Checking Kernel Adiutor occasionally,
I'd see a much slower decrease in voltage which probably reflects
more accurately the power drawdown situation.
Things I've done:
-clear cache (both through File Explorer and TWRP Recovery)
-clear batterystats.bin
-calibrate battery after full charge/discharge (via Root Essentials,
which basically does the same thing as manually deleting batterystat.bin,
if I'm not mistaken)
-Resetting App Preferences via Setting/Battery
None of the above has worked. Any idea what might be wrong?
My device is a Zuk Z1, with a 4100mAh battery. It usually lasts me more
than a day on normal use, but as the attached pic shows, it's at 96%
yet without having used any apps yet, has only 2 hrs of juice left.
I've tried reflashing my ROM, wiping everything including formatting data
yet nothing has worked.
I'm a light user, as I don't play games or watch videos on my phone.
Neither do I use graphics-intensive apps. I haven't used processor-intensive apps
that require constant GPS (like Google Maps, Waze) since then.

Have you tried flashing another ROM/going back to stock?

Not yet. Am going to try an AOSP-based ROM later.
I've been deleting apps piecemeal, but have faile to pinpoint the culprit.
I have almost come to the conclusion that it's the ROM that's problematic.
But if that were the case, why haven't I had the same problem since
when I first flashed this custom ROM months ago;
and why is the problem reappearing when that same ROM is re-flashed now?
OK, I've flashed 3 other ROMs: Citrus-CAF, NucleaROM and stock, and the problem persists.
By doing the above, I've crossed out the possibility of it being the ROM. Neither is it the battery
itself, because it would've shut down by itself at 1%, yet at 1% I can last 6 or 7 hours of light use.
Anyone out there have any idea?
If you get the same results, the battery is trashed. Is it aftermarket?

The battery? No, it's the factory original.
It would not be unusual for a battery to fail in a month or two. I've had that happen to a couple laptops where I work.

That would be pretty unusual for reputable companies. If ever it did happen in my case, perhaps it's a lemon batch.
Sadly, I bought this without warranty.
Not really, happens all the time in laptop world. Even with oem batteries.

MOTO G4 Bootlooping Issue

Hello all. My daily driver has been a rooted Moto G4 running RR (Oreo) for years now. As time has gone by, the stock battery has deminished to not lasting even a few hours (thus, it is always connected to a powersource). Since it is used primarily for work (Amazon Music App) w/ViperFx settings I've set, making any BT device it connects to sound outstanding, I'm in a dilemma... :/
The phone when pulled from power will randomly shutdown. (Guessing the battery application is faulty because of age, it calculates incorrect remaining battery life, shutdown point, eta charging , etc.) At times when this happens upon turning back on it will boot loop. The fix has always been to fully charge battery and it would restart as normal. Couple of days ago it has now permanently remained in loop, even with full battery charge or charger plugged in.
Searched for fixes and have attempted TWRP: cleaning cache, davlik/art cache, then rebooting. Removing SD Card, repowering. Selecting System then repair option, then restarting.
Hoping to retain data and settings without a factory wipe. Thanks for reading and assisting with a resution!
