[Q] one mini battery level suddenly drops to 0% - HTC One Mini

My one mini will drop to 0% when I am using apps like chrome or when I am gaming. There will be a 0% battery notification before shutting down. I also cannot turn on my phone after that. It will charge to 100% normally after that. Have tried battery calibration app and some online methods but they don't work. Weirdly, after I charge my phone to like 20% after the battery dropping to 0, it will discharge normally. It would not do that after it went above 30-50%. Before the incident, I have discharged it fully a few time after gaming. What should I do?

What ROM are you using? I had the same issue on Lollipop but never on KitKat.

Sounds like you've go the same problem as all of us here:

anyone else with horrible battery calibration

Well Im not saying the battery life itself is bad, but well for example, I just drained the battery completely (phone shut down by itself) and within about 2 minutes of putting the charger back in the indicator read 70%.
Im currently using the method where i run it down to 1% then fully charge, rinse and repeat. (Just started doing this)

no problems here, but apparently half the people in the battery threads have issues with battery life.
hmmm, well I just want to get this right because it gets annoying when it says 100% battery then goes down in about 20 minutes
I've had issues with battery life indication on my Omnia 7.
I can have it showing 70%, then it would suddenly drop to showing around 10%. Then by turning off and on several times it will sort itself out and show the correct amount.
This has only happened once or twice mind...
No problem here on my HTC 7 pro. Though I did calibrate one battery and not the spare, both perform the same.
I have no problems either on my omnia 7

No issues on my Focus. Maybe this is a device specific issue?

No problem with my trophy but a good practice to keep you battery in shape is to start charge at 15-20% (dont leave it until is dead is bad for the battery) and dont charge it to 100% ...stop charging at 90-95% ...
That is what i do with all my mobile devices and rarely i have probs with my batterys.

[Q] Ridiculous battery usage

Hey there.
Two days ago I bought an android-based Sony Walkman (NWZ-Z1060) and I had an interesting problem with it.
When I got, the first thing I did was an upgrade to ICS 4.0.4.
First of all, when I charge it, the battery NEVER reaches 100%, the maximum charge level for the battery is ALWAYS 98%, and when it reaches this value it says 'Fully Charged.'
But this isn't the problem. Once I disconnect it from the charging source (either PC or AC Adapter), the battery goes from 98% to zero in about eight hours.
Funny that while the battery drains (no music playing, no Wi-Fi, the device is simply in standby, with the LCD turned off) the device is extremely hot, which makes me think there is some CPU/GPU-heavy process running in the background.
I haven't installed ANY application yet, nothing should be running in background.
What do you think it's causing this massive battery drain?
Its happened to me once
Try to make factory rest first then if this problem still exist flash your Rom again.

Moto Maxx never going below 15% battery

My Moto Maxx is never going below 15% battery for quite some time.
I was running CM 12.1 before and I am running the CM 13.0 preview now.
The problem now seems much worse.
This could be my battery dying?
Wait its not going below 15% or above 15%? Also, did you flash the ROM with a clean wipe (no dirty flash)?
Another thing to note is that the CM 13.0 Build is a "PREVIEW" which means that there are a TON of bugs in there. I would advise you go back to CM 12.1 for the time being.
It is never going below 15%.
On CM12.1 it also happened.
When it reaches 15% percent, the phone shuts down and needs to be charged.
After sometime charging, it displays the battery as above 15% and I can turn it on again.
Mine had always done that at 5 percent. Here lately it's closer to 7 percent.
I'm on original 5.0.2 and also facing that issue... I've heard onde it's related to the use of non original chargers, or even QI chargers... Never got rid of it, even after a full wipe/factory reset...
I've had this problem too and made a post over in the Droid Turbo forums but no one ever replied..
At least I'm not the only one that has this problem.
Yeah I've always had this issue between 5-8% on my three Turbos. Stock Rom and other flavors. They all shut the phone down around there.
Solved the problem with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newagetools.batdoc&hl=pt_BR
Now my battery goes down to 1% again, yahoo!!!!
how can that app fix it?? i would think its a placebo effect as i see dificult for an app to read or fix battery info...
maybe it locks out the bad parts (like an old chkdsk on a HD)
anyway i will tryit if i see it tries to go rogue with the Ads it Dies..
Batteries in laptops and phones have a file that keeps track of battery life. They use this to estimate percentage.

still having this issue
I have the same problem. It started as shutting down at %5, then %7, now it's %15 shuts down.
The same thing on my XT1254. It shuts down near 5%, I will try to charge it with my old i9505 charger, it could be a problem related to TurboCharger.
Hello guys,
My girlfriend's phone had this issue some months ago, what I did in order to fix this issue was:
1) Let the battery drain until phone shutdown. (try to turn on again until you cannot)
2) Fully charge with an original Motorola charger (phone turned off)
3) When it reached 100%, turn on the phone but enter in the fastboot mode and wipe caches
4) Uses the phone normally and let reaches 0%.
Making these steps, the battery back to have a "normal" behaviour

I´ll perform these steps, thank you
Although you see the battery as percentage, the operating system does not see it that way. It uses lower limit voltage of the battery to shut down the device in order to extend battery life. Batteries do not like to get and stay deep discharged (below low level voltage)...if you do this frequently, you will severely hamper your battery's life.

Battery/Phone Shutting Down

Recently had to replace battery.
Phone was shutting almost immediately after it was disconnected from charger. Charging status when not switched on showed the battery kinda going in reverse. Phone was really odd as it would suggest the battery had 100% charge and then within minutes of disconnecting it was shutting down.
I tried a factory reset/refresh with no change. So I ordered a Genuine replacement battery off flea bay and installed that last Thursday.
Initially phone seemed ok, then wen a bit weird and shut down even though charge was like at 70% or so. Wouldn't restart until plugged in and then in shutdown mode the battery/charging indicator would show 0% and then very quickly showed 70%. Good bit though was it was going up and not down like before.
Fully charged phone overnight. It then seemed really good and lasted until Tuesday with 66% charge still showing. I had not installed FB or Twitter which made a huge difference. Then yesterday it just shutdown again. When plugged in showed 0%, within minutes back to 70% and then charged to 100% in the space of an hour or so.
So I am looking for any advice. Is this just calibration issues that the phone needs to get past. Is it possible the phone has corruption int he ROM.
I appreciate it might be a hardware fault but seems weird that the replacement battery is clearly showing a big improvement suggesting battery was EOL after 2 years use.
TIA

Same problem here i will try to install the oficial rom of xt890 if works i back here if not i don't know what to do
Sooo............issue is still present. Odd thing which I am unable to confirm, due to rnadomness of shutdowns, it that I think it is slowly learning the state of the battery as it originally was shutting down at 70% after 2-3 days on standby. then 66% hen 56%. I did a clear cache partition and a fresh install but still the issue was present.
Clearly the new battery is lasting longer than the old one, just the phone does not seem to know to reduce the charge indicator all the way to 0%.
Anyone any idea why this might be happening.
TIA

Just to add i'm having the same problem.
Symptoms started last week running the stock kitkat rom so i ordered and a fitted a new battery. Initially everything looked good phone said 100% left it over night and noticed it had shut off when i came back to it. Plugged it in to the charger and it said 0% so i charged back to 100%, booted up android and almost immediately it begins discharging rapidly, i would say within 15 minutes its back down to 0%.. I've done this a few times now even left it on charge overnight for 8 hours but its still discharging rapidly everytime. The craziest thing is even if it says 0% in android i can still boot in to recovery and flash away so clearly there is charge in the battery its just android thats out of sync.
What i've tried so far:
Different wall chargers/USB leads/Outlets
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed CM11
Factory Reset several times
Various battery calibration apps
My next step is going to be trying RSD to flash the stock ROM but beyond that i dont know what to do.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with my Razr i, replaced the battery and it's still discharging very fast
Eventually managed to resolve my new battery issue simply by fully charging and discharging several times. It started to hold charge after the 7th charge and after several more discharges it's now up to full capacity.

Battery issue, software or hardware?

Hello,
I bought a second hand S6, and after some while I noticed a battery issue.
While discharging, everyting is normal until about 11-12%, when it drops to 5% and then continues like normal, 4-3-2-1-shutdown.
If I put the charger even for a second in any percentage below 5% it jumps to 8-9% , and then contunues the discharge from there without missing capacity.
If again I continue to charge without disconnecting, if goes lets say from 1% to 8% instantly and then continues charging like normal.
Is this normal for an old phone? Or can I fix it somehow?
I had never noticed anything like that in any of my android phones before, ever 3 years old.
I have already deleted battery stats, and performed 2-3 times full charge/discharge cycles, without results
The ROM is original 6.0.1 rooted.
Hello,
Tried at 100% and stayed at 100%
Should I try at 10% or 1% ?

It happens for me too. It's just Samsung's failure. Sometimes my battery jumps %1 to %17 when i plug the charger.
To be honest, you can't do anything about it.
I did the proceadure at 14% it dropped to 0% after some seconds and then shut down.
I charged it OFF but when it reached 95% went to 100% in seconds.
When I unplug at 100% and wait 5 minutes (always OFF) at next connection to charger showed 95%.
So it took me 1 hour of intermitted charges to reach 100% and stay there.
We'll see what happens next. I'll keep you updated.
