Hey guys, I have been getting really good battery life, and I still am. But since a couple of days I have been noticing that the whole battery gets drained in a couple of seconds soon after the battery hits somewhere as low as 14 or 15%. The phone just shuts down and wouldn't turn on before it's plugged in again. Also, I noticed the phone charges back from 0-12 or 13 % in under a minute, which is VERY STRANGE.
What do you think is happening guys? Please help.
PS: Read somewhere here about calibrating battery by charging it for 8 hours, turning off, and all that. I did try that and it did not work for me
Thanks a lot in advance
Anyone?
Have you tried factory reset or stock img flash via fastboot? These are first two steps you should try.

So does that mean there is nothing wrong with the battery? I mean the hardware part? @Lukiqq
I think hw is fine in your case, you should really try revert it to factory state first.

Yes. Turns out it was a problem with the battery calibration. Let your phone run out of charge. Once it turns itself off, plug it in for about 2.5 hours without interruption. Unplug, wait for 5 minutes, re-plug and charge for another 15 minutes. Unplug and turn on the phone. Your phone should be re calibrated

check it out i flashed a rom right and it didnt want to boot into recovery so i took the battery out and it never turned on again????
Plug it in let it charge a bit. If the orange light blinks four times and turns off, then you need to do a battery swap.
If it charges then let it charge boot unto recovery and restore your backup. I hope you made a backup.
Which Rom were you flashing?

nothing comes on
Mate, you're really not helping yourself here. Can you please give a step-by-step of what you were trying to do and a bit more information as to what happened when it didn't go to plan?
e.g. I was trying to flash a new ROM. The ROM update completed successfully but upon rebooting it wouldn't turn on.
The above example gives a bit more insight as to the situation

Pop the battery out for about 10 minutes then put it back in and try charging the battery. Also try charging from a different power source like an AC adapter or via your computers USB port. If the battery light doesn't come on then your battery is most likely dead and you may need to find a replacement.

you said you didnt get any signal. dude you prolly didnt flashed the correct radios. some roms tells you witch radio you need before flashing the rom. not all the roms have the correct radios due of a lot of sensation worldwide. had you tried to go into fastboot at all by holding power and vol down at the same time.

Try turning it on without the battery in, while it's plugged in to the charger (obviously), if it won't turn on at all, try to flash the stock 2.3.3 via nvflash using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&highlight=nvflash
If that doesn't work try flashing cwm recovery via nvflash using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847&highlight=nvflash
Good luck! Hope this helps
well first off shame on you for trying to flash a rom with a low battery that was prob not the smartest thing to do second if you have removed your battery and charged your phone and it still wont boot or anything well then you have a bricked phone sorry

Thanks a lot man, it doesn't turn on at all without the battery in. I was using clockwork recovery to flash the ROM. What do you suggest I do from here?
If you can't get into recovery, then you did probably brick your phone, so you'll need to follow the instructions from the first link i posted earlier to flash the stock GB. Then follow the second to flash cwm using the second link, then flash your rom again

If your battery got TOO low, since there's no auto-shutoff while in recovery, it could be too low to take a charge or even allow the device to turn on.
Try turning on the device with a different, fully charged battery. If that works then your battery fried.... at which point it may still be salvagable.. you'd need to hot-swap the battery. that is, turn the device on plugged in and with a GOOD battery... once it's on, then without unplugging, pull out the good battery and QUICKLY insert the bad battery, which will allow it to start charging...
Now, this of course would involve you booting into RECOVERY since you don't have a working ROM, but that would still apply.

Remove battery, reinsert it then try again and see if that works. My guess is that your max screen off frequency is too low so your phone couldnt wake up from deep sleep
I did that a million times. and still not working
Are you under volted at all? If so could be under volted too much.
Have you tried a fresh download and install with a full wipe? Assuming you can access recovery, it might be worth a try. Also out of curiosity have you tried a different battery? Once I had no life, no boot, no led and I switched out my battery and bam it booted back up. That's also worth a try. Best of luck and I hope you get it sorted out soon. Best wishes .

Maybe you left the battery die. It doesnt even show the charging light You should try charging it for an hour remove the battery and charge again, than try to boot. Sesation are known for not booting if the battery dies
Thanks all for the advices, I had my phone sent to the service center for repair or hopefully will get replaced since it was only a week old.
The phone is almost 9 months old, suddenly, this morning it turned off (battery at 95%) and i couldn't turn it back on. I plugged it in and then i could turn it on, the battery still was at 95%. It happened a few more times, like 7 or 8 so far. Any idea on what could be the reason?
Edit: It also turns off when i take a picture with flash on!
Thanks!
I think its firmware problem nd flash again with odin

Welcome bro???
Hi, 2 days ago my OPO just keeps turning off after a few seconds even when I'm in twrp screen. Even with the wall charger connected, but if I connect it to a computer or any other system it just works fine and normal.
I have lineage 14.1 and I already try factory reset, OS clean installation again and with previous versions. With gapps or without gapps still turning off. Very strange. Can anybody help? I don't know what to do.

It'll bootloop if you don't connect the device to charger.That's the sign of dying battery.

Thanks a lot. I will try that. But isn't strange if i connect to the wall charger still turning off? And sometimes it reboots and stucks in Android is starting screen. Is there a way to test the battery? Last week the phone works just fine and the battery lasts the entire day. I just trying to understand what happened. Thanks again,and sorry for my bad english.

Yes,you can order Usb tester and try it,but instead of wasting time over this,just buy a new battery(look up battery thread in accessories for suggestions).
I think this just happen to me.
If not connecting to charger :
-Rebooting itself when flashing rom
-Bootloop after a few second when using the phone (All rom, even after revert back to COS 13)
-Somehow, it not bootlooping if on fastboot.
If connected to charger :
-Phone working as normally.
