Hey all,
recently I have encountered a rather big and annoying problem on my phone. It has to do with my battery. I've looked it up on xda, but nothing was really exactly like my problem.
The problem is that my battery level has gone absolutely crazy.
First, charging my phone takes many many hours. After around 5 hours it still wasn't fully charged.
Then when rebooting the phone, it magically said 100%. However, after this the phone drained extremely fast. Think around 20 percent per hour, while using it normally!
Secondly, around 40 percent the phone automatically turned off, without the usual HTC logo. When I turn it on again the battery level is suddenly 2 %. After a few times turning off and on the battery level goes up to 30 percent. This can be seen very well on the pictures.
The phone is 1,5 years old and I haven't installed a custom ROM.
Am I dealing with a broken battery or is the problem in the software?
Hi,
I'm not an expert, but I think your battery is exhausted.
But before you run buying another battery...
What charger are you using? Stock HTC or custom? If custom, what are the Voltage/Current output values?
probably your battery is dying as the above user said
or the battery it doesn't connect properly
check it

While reading on some forums about a better battery for the Sensation I haven't encountered Mugen, only Anker, which has some good reviews.

Get a good 2 Amp AC charger and leave on on charge for a good while.
After able to boot, you 'might' require a battery scaling calibration. I have posted a guide in General section for that (link in signature).
Best of luck

If you're referring to your problem posted here, I guess the
Don't let the battery discharge completely : potential to damage the battery and/or the battery fall "asleep" (internal safety circuit opens) with the charger then unable to service the battery.

.
A good 2 Amp AC charger can often "kick-start" the dead battery, but not always.
As far as the cause, I can only guess; app or process causing wake-lock > battery drain, or perhaps a battery scaling issue as I described in my thread : [TWEAK] SGT 7.7 Battery Calibration [Fuel Gauge Reset]
My tab would discharge to approx 30-35% then drop to around 10-11% almost instantaneously, sometimes shutting off if I wasn't paying close attention !

I'm not 100% sure of all your details, but sounds like the battery has an issue and starting to die.........
I would :
1. Flash all to completely stock firmware and kernel (to rule anything out)
2. Turn device off and leave off
3. Leave on AC charge overnight
4. Once fully charged, use as stock for a while. Battery will re-calibrate itself after a few charge cycles (if it's ok)
Hi Guys,
I hope someone has a clue whats going on with my fone.
(after few months) The charger that came with the box had issues charging , usually I had to bend and twist the cable to charge. So it went like this for a few days and then one day It was very low on battery so I connected it to the charger but it wasn't responding
Finally it died I tried the twist and turns but the cable didn't work , few days passed as I couldn't find a similar charger(as most of my family uses Iphone including me)
Now a friend of mine took the battery out and charged with an adjustable charger, I checked the battery has charge now BUT the mobile isn't switching on.
Can any one help ?
All comments and Ideas appreciated
Thanks in advance
</E>
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Which device are you talking about? Does it have a removable battery or did your friend need to disassemble the device to remove the battery?
Its was the xolo a700, yes removable battery

How exactly did your friend charge the battery? Did he hotwire the charger directly to the battery? If so, he's probably damaged it so you'll need to purchase a new battery.
Transmitted via Bacon
He used a portable charger, its kinda hot wiring I believe.
Is there a way to be sure the battery is gone ? Coz you can still feel the charge in it.

What do you mean you can feel the charge? You can use a multimeter to test the battery.
Transmitted via Bacon
Yes I had used voltmeter but I barely remember what were the readings now, I had borrowed it from an electrician guy who did some work at our place. i think I will try to find it again and check.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm confident that the battery is the problem so I'll need to close this thread as there's not much else I can really tell you. If you need further help in the future please feel free to send me a PM and I'll do what I can for you. Good luck with the battery.
Thread closed, thanks.

Hello there I think my battery has damaged it is showing unusual behaviour my phone switches off with 5-10% left I thought it might be a calibration issue but I've calibrated it many times the problem still persists also when I charge it in switched off condition the charging starts from 14% instead of 0. I've decided to replace my battery so I've a little query since Mi4i and Mi4c are identical can I use Mi4i's BM-33 battery instead of Mi4c's BM-35 ? Does anyone know please respond to my query.
Thanks in advance☺
No, they are not the same voltage. Get BM-35

Hi everyones
Think Mi4s battery should work in Mi4c ? I don't know about dimmension but the battery connector is still the same
Mi4s: BM-38
Mi4c: bM-35

Yeah I've seen that too but mi4s is 1 millimeter wider than mi4c I don't think BM-38 will fit into Mi4c. Mi4i's BM-33 will surely fit but I don't know if they have same connector or not :/
I wouldn't replace my battery for such a behavior. Have you ever tried physically recalibrating the battery? Or did you use an app?
In case you didn't, let your phone almost run out of juice, then plug charger in and switch it off. Let it charge for 2-3 hours (depends on your charger Amperes) or something more, then turn phone on while still plugged in.

Actually I'm from India so I bought it from eBay India.
AliExpress might have original ones btw where did you buy ? Check AliExpress they'll definitely be having original ones
no, you can't buy original/genuine ones anywhere - the ones on aliexpress/ebay are better or worse replacements
I've bought one since I've got shutdowns at 25-30% , but the replacement is worse - after a month or two when I enjoyed the fact of having no random shutdowns, the capacity was dropping and I'm back to my original battery
try using slow charger (non-QC2.0) - after a couple of charges with 5V/1A sudden shutdown problems vanishes
Hello there I think my battery is damaged, becouse my phone switches off with 5-15% left (so i do calibrate, but doesnt help) and when I charge it, the charging starts from 14% instead of with 0.
So I decided to replace my battery. I know that I have to the BM-35 But where can i buy and get really a original?
I found this some on ebay and aliexpress, but i am not allowed to post here....
For exeample i found one on aliexpress with a cooling copper, is that usefull?
Thanks in advance for your Help.
Only on dragon-tt I've found original parts of xiaomi phones...

Hello, I have exactly same problem! Same percentage, turns off at ~13-15%, then if I plug to charge it shows 14% everytime! I would also know if it's battery or something more related. I'm using mi4c for ~7 months now. Glad i'm not alone with this problem.
Which Rom?
Which Rom you use and do have only use your quickcharger (the original)?
Edit: I ask about the charger, because i read in anohter forum, that the quickcharge isnt good for the battery lifetime. I have the phone for more than a year and use the quickcharger only for every third or fourh charging. Do you use everytime?

Yes, used original quick charger, and USB. Using Ressurection Remix 5.8.0 (7.1 Nougat), but was getting problem with MIUI too, but shut down at 7%, and start charging at 21%, i think it may be software problem.
I'm not sure whether it is a software problem. I have for last month the rom from team superluminal ( cm-12.1-20160617 ) and have never battery problems - only since the last 2 weeks. So i updated to the rom cm-13.1-20161231 (also superluminal) and the first round with a full battery works fine, no switch off at a low battery level. I work on the phone until it has only 3 percent and then i charged it. Maybe you try this rom? Nevertheless i think isn't a software problem. Because I read this at the forum from superluminal (sry i am not allowed to link here) - posted by morphic:
IMO using quick charger w/ mi4c it will destroy your battery even more, because it seems to get too hot while charging. High temperatures are known to cause damage for battery internal chemistry..
I have also noticed that using normal “slow” charger will make mi4c battery percentage to behave more sane.

Used this rom. I think the same, I'm going to buy battery and try to keep it cool while charging. If you know some cheap websites for Europe, thank you!
I have orded from aliexpress, you can find some between 10 -15 Euro. Or ebay, there is a trader from spain and want about 20 Euro.

100 percent sure you could never I remember a case about fake samsung battery - selled from amazon.
Tried to get a replacement battery from the biggest seller of them on aliexpress. Got stopped twice at custom x-ray with post nl . Was getting it shipped to Ireland. Seller is refunding me and told me it was getting very hard to ship batteries at the moment.

Not like Xiaomi uses top bin batteries in the first place. They wouldn't bother faking the bottom bin batteries Xiaomi uses.
there are no original ones as spare parts to buy. just replacements
I've bought one off aliexpress from a seller with biggest positive feedback for BM35 batteries as my original was switching off at about 30%, used for about three months, but it's not very good now - it doesn't hold charge very well and I have had random shutdowns at about 20%, too.
Last weekend I've got annoyed and put my old original BM35 back and the phone holding significantly longer with similar patterns of usage. Unfortunately still getting shutdowns at ~15-20%. Also there are rumours claiming that avoiding QC chargers "cures" the battery in mi4c. So, if you're getting shutdowns at 5-15%, don't even bother spending 10$ for a non-original one, try slow charging first.

could you tell us what kind of charger do you use? what power, ie. how many amperes?
I use two different Samsung Charger with: 1) 5Volt / 1A 2) 5Volt / 2A
I have the same problem where my device shut down early before 0%, and it happen to all custom rom i used, but i think the problem has gone now, i did clear all the chace and dalvik/ART, reboot the phone, charge untill 100% and calibrate with battery calibration.
I'm on RR 5.8.0 latest build.
Just got the battery the poster is talking about, with a copper patch. its from a batch marked with the year 2014. The S/N is covered with the copper patch.
the battery cover plastic seems a bit scratched, like its a used battery.
I will replace the battery in the next couple of days and let you know.
For the mean time I got it for 11.5$, now its 14.5$
