Hey people,
I am running Android 5.1 with root and I have some problems with my battery percentage shown. It's probably wrong. I had 30% after a few hours of doing nothing with it, then I restarted the phone to see if it is an issue and it is. After my restart I just had 8%. I did another restart still 8%. After 30 Minutes in which I also did nothing with my phone the battery percentage came up to 21% percent. How can I fix that issue? Is my battery cracked?

Reads like your battery has had it. Try calibrating it first. (Think there is a guide in the battery thread.) Battery replacement is dead easy to do yourself and batteries are about £10 UK eBay.

I can´t find it, if anyone know how to calibrate the N5 please write it here. I searched at google and found various methods to do it. However I am thinking to buy another battery as well but I am not sure which shop sells the original battery and which not. Do you know a good shop at ebay or somewhere else which sells an original battery?

my o2 xda is running tnt wm6 for a long time now with no problems but recently my battery has started draining super fast like right infront of my eyes it drops percent numbers. i run battery status but that has never bugged the battery before. i also tried switching batteries with two of my friends and their phones run fine but mine drains fast. i have charged it with both the computer and the charger. it charges super slow and upon charging when i restart it the battery drops something like 20 percent or more instantly. could this be a virus? i factory resetted my phone and formatted my memory card but im still getting this issue. please any help would be much appreciated!

try other ROMs.
the fact of the matter is that ive been using this rom for so long without problems and this battery charger thingy just started a few days ago. could this be hardware problem?
Time for a new battery. Try nothing else until you have replaced it, with a new one, not one from another phone.
new battery really? u mean a battery from another phone doesnt do? and yes my battery dies very fast even my friends battery in my phone. cudnt this be a problem in my phone then? cause its his battery
Its definately a battery issue.
Check out this thread and I think you will relate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353780
Then go to eBay and buy an new OEM replacement for like $10 shipped. I think I paid $8 for mine.
I personally think it is a bug.
On three separate occasions using various roms, my battery would drain from 100% to 0% in an hour. I would reset everything, recharge and it would run normal without problems.
I do not know what causes this but it does appear to be a software glitch, at least in my case.
try to hard reset your device and then test (after backup your data).
this can give you the clear reason (in case of the rom was running well with you).
good luck
try another radio!
i had the same issue, but it stop draining after i ordered the new battery
I suspect that it is not the battery or the unit.

Actually I am suddenly having the same problem with a brand new battery on a brand new Wizard.
I just loaded the newest Mfrazz Rom which seems to be fantastic in its applications, speed etc. however immediately on loading the ROM, my battery does get hot in normal use and drains to 30% in a normal day. I have even loaded the IRDA disable cab to no particular effect.
Is there some specific procedure to which you are referring for hard resetting the Wizard? I assume you don't just take out the battery?
Dead battery
Lithium batteries can be killed rather easily. I know from rc helis. Most mobile phones use lithium-ion batteries. Helis use lithum-polymer batteries but they have pretty much the same charactoristics. li-poly is a little more volitile, they can and will explode if you charge or discharge too much or too quickly. If you over charge, you kill it. If you over drain, you kill it.
If you are in a place where you get little or no signal turn off the radio. It will discharge quickly if it's searching for a signal. Also if you are not using the bluetooth or wifi turn them off, same thing. That's why they provided the Comm Manager. Try not to let your charge get below 20%. Definately don't let it run completely out or stay that way long.
A dead lithium battery will not hold a charge at all. Just like you see, the numbers dropping off quickly. It will charge fast too.
(Snot the battery)

Looking at it afresh, it isn't the battery which is heating up on installation of this ROM, it is the unit itself. The battery seems to be remaining at a comparatively normal temperature though the heat generation does drain it very quickly as I said.
Not sure that this problem has ever been addressed before on these boards? It may be something to do with not flashing to a manufacturer's ROM before flashing to Mfrazz's new one?
Has anyone ever seen these symptoms before?
In addition to some of the other posts ,you could check this :
WM6 may need to "learn" the battery levels again.
Try FULLY discharging & recharging your battery 3-4 times.
If this doesn't make things better, maybe you should check if you are running anything strange in the background...

Lithium batteries don't recover like ni-cad. Spend the $10 and solve the problem. DONT EVER FULLY DISCHARGE A LITHIUM-ION BATTERY. That is the quickest way to kill it.

As far as I am aware it is difficult to FULLY discharge one of those batteries in the Wizard? The unit starts giving error messages when it gets to the 15% level and some time thereafter shuts most of its functions down to prevent this. Whenever I have had problems with these units getting hot and even discharging and shutting down, the battery level never seems to be at 0% when I plug it in again. I have never thereafter found any permanent damage to the battery.
I think we should address the problem which seems to be in issue here which is that somehting in the OS is causing the battery to discharge as opposed to replacing the battery and watching the problem continue. At least, that was MY problem.
I am obviously not saying batteries don't die. All I am saying is that for a lot of users, the problem may lie elsewhere. Meanwhile I have flashed back to T-Mobile and re-flashed the newest Mfrazz which SEEMS to be quite VoIP friendly and overnight the unit doesnt seem to have heated up.
since i cant order a battery from where i live i tried reflashing my phone and memory card and i think that fixed it. maybe in my case its an os bug. and yes i definitely have been treating my battery badly on discharging and over charging. thanks for the info
They are not that delicate if you know what kills em it's pretty easy to avoid. They don't develop a memory like the older ni-cads. if you are going to store one charge it first. They don't power drain by them selves unless they are in a device. Just don't leave a battery drained. Also they wont over charge in the phone. The phone will stop charging when the battery is full, and 0% is not actually 0volts. There are built in safeguards for the average user.
When I got the automatic update to go from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 My battery was charged about 30%. After the update was done, which went very quickly, it was almost 60% charged. This sudden jumped seemed awkward to me. I have the feeling that a 100% charge is now actually a 80% charge, because it recognizes the battery as full.
So I downloaded an app called 'battery monitor widget' to see some more battery stats. When I bump charge, I have reached 100% with the following stats:
4200mV
1200/1200mAh
Seems oke, but the first thing I noticed it says it has a 1200mAh battery, while my battery itself says it's a 1500mAh battery. It's on the sticker. Also the Nexus S is generally advertised with a 1500mAh battery.
Can it be that the upgrade messed things up? Why does it see my battery as a 1200 insteed of 1500? I honestly don't know if the problem was there before the upgrade, simply because I didn't question it.
Anyone knows what's going on?
Thanks in advance!
Bump. There must be someone between all these experts here..?
I've emailed the dev and didn't get a reply. Just go into settings and change it to 1500. The highest I've ever seen the battery was 98. I've read other things on this so it isn't an isolated incident. I wouldn't worry about it. Don't bump charge it too much, that might not be good. Charge while off or when it says it's charged, reboot the phone and let it top off again.
Thanks for the reply, but how can you change this in settings?
NO kidding.
97% to 1%. That is what happened to my battery level after I rebooted my phone. This is my replaced phone that i got from service center and the previous one was also suffering from this condition.
What the hell is wrong.
I have tried this:
Drained battery till it turned off and recharged to 100%.
deleted battery stats.
used an called Battery for calibration.
Note: I have read almost every thread regarding this problem and i am posting this thread thinking that this might be related to this specific phone because nothing else works.
SO anyone?
Go for Nokia Battery

Your Battery is gone, Use Nokia BL5C with empty spaces filled with thick cardboards so that battery doesnt shifts position. It'll give you half of the original battery life though its only 1020mAH, while batteries available in market are waste of money, they wont even give you fourth of the talktime original one gave.

I changed the battery buying a new one on amazon, the problem was that when the phone was at low % it shut off sometimes at 20% sometimes at 40%. Ater changing battery i noticed that the problem disappeared for a week, but then reappeared, so i changed the charger and tested different cables but both charging and discharging are irregular, it charges to 100 in 10 minutes. So i ordered a new charging board on amazon, i changed it but the problem persists. Im desperate, i dont know what to do, sorry for my english. I thank anyone in advance who wants to help me.:crying:
could always try recalibrate your battery

I think you should change your phone's battery mate. I changed mine last week and it's as good as new now. Charges and discharges exactly how it's supposed to. My battery had similar issues before I changed it.
TRY CALIBRATION ?
1.Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2.Turn it on and let it turn off again.
3.Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4.Unplug your charger.
5.Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on the screen as well.
6.Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7.You want to repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
8.Now, install the Battery Calibration app, and before you launch it, make sure your battery is at 100 percent again, then restart.

He said he just put in anofher battery he bought on Amazon. I'm wondering at what point you stop buying parts for what is becoming an unsupported phone and just get another phone.

Oh my bad. Didn't read that part carefully
Basically my Google pixel has been having these issues since January/Feb
But the phone refused to fully charge it would stop at 98% and the battery wouldn't last long at all I used to get 4h screen on time and have like 20% left now I get 2h 22m with the replacement device that Google gave me.
I have had the device replaced four times, yes four. And I have tried to charge the device with no data on it and no email. So it would be a fair test.
With this, the fourth device, it charges, then reaches 100% then depletes while in the charger and not being used and so it has 97% after.
The device lasts no where near as long as it should and when I take it out of the charger in the morning it drops from 97% to 92% with 5 mins of use.
Google are now telling to replace it again. I am using the official charger.
Someone please advise me!
This is happening to my Pixel too. Also when battery has like 25% left, the phone suddenly power off, and it won't turn on until i charge it. When it boots, the battery indicator shows 1%. Truly weird. Idk if it's a software issue, a battery issue or wth is it. Hope somebody has a solution
Both of these sound like bad batteries.
@Zikohh, you're probably being given refurbished phones as replacements, and they don't have a new battery. I recommend you suggest them to pay for a battery replacement, rather than change the device again.

hopefully they will agree. Four replacements had the same behaviour. And yes they are all refurbs.

Two things try to update (may security update) and if not any better and you haven't already - try a factory reset my camera app caused similar stuff and a factory reset fixed it. But if you tried once don't bother just try updating it.
