Hello everyone!
The battery life is getting shorter and shorter everyday apparently without any particular reason as Gsam says.
I have a new battery installed, received from China a week ago, I have the feeling that is not original and so a bit screwed up but I am not sure about this cause I have flashed Exodus the same day I replaced the battery.
I have a weird problem going on since the first day I have installed this new battery: I have unplugged the cable at 13.00 with 100% of charge and at 16.00 the battery was apparently flat = 4 miserable hours of normal business-like use.
I turned it on in recovery mode, the twrp didn't show any battery level, I have played with the command line with max brightness for about 15 mins, that means the battery was still ok.
the dmesg from twrp terminal says every 10 secs:
healthd: battery l=0 v=3817 t=36.1 h=2 st=3 c=1 chg=

Also as soon as I plugged the charger, it got full 100% in less than 30mins.
what's going on??
Again I flashed Exodus 5.1.1 with AK kernel, new battery installed same day. Previous os was stock Cyanogen 12s and original battery = 4 max 5 hrs battery life

Hey guys I am a long time Android enthusiast. I have one of the most popular Samsung devices which is the Samsung Galaxy fit. The problem with my Samsung Galaxy Fit is the battery. Earlier before any tweaking battery used to be normal. After I installed CM7(official build). My battery started draining randomly. At first it was ignorable but then the problem became severe. From 100% it would drop to 88% in just 2 mins use and then from 88% it wud drop to 70% in another 5 mins and the entire phone would be dead in just 3 hours at best. When I would charge the phone again the battery will also be charged randomly going from 5% to 20% and then 20% to 40% all this in just 10 mins. In no less than 20 mins would my phone be 100% charged but that's fake as the battery would drain from 100% to 0% in three hours.
Following are the solutions are tried
Changed the batter,used a brand new original battery(FAIL - DID NOT WORK)
Flashed stock Rom (FAIL - PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS)
Changed Charger (FAIL)
Recharged battery on a different phone and then inserted the battery in fit (FAIL)
If anyone has any solution please let me know. I AM ALSO WILLING TO DONATE IF PROBLEM GETS SOLVED.

You could try Battery Calibrator.. The app is available on Play Store.

Hope this will help you..
1. after flashing custom ROMS, back to recovery or CWM then wipe the battery stats.
2. calibrate the battery while device is on, i ussually use Mugen Power app (install app, choose the standard battery, charge until 100% then click calibrate, after that use the device until the phone is dead then charge until 100% again while device is off).
other Calibration apps ussually have the same steps like the steps i mentioned above, so just use one app..
3. if you still having the battery drain, maybe you should go check the hardware in some technician, coz it could be the hardware that has the problems.
I bought a new battery for my oneplus one from vifocal.com and I think its original battery. The battery seems to be very poor. I use my phone for 1,5 hours from which the screen is on for about 1 hour and the battery has drained down to 50%. Yesterday as my phone went to zero I turned it on in recovery mode to keep the screen on as long as possible to really kill the battery and the screen stayed on for at least 2 hours. How is that possible if the battery indicator shows already 0%. Anyways I believe the battery drops down to 0% even really there is a lot of juice in the battery. Is there anyway to calibrate the battery so it would show the correct percentage and is there anyway to tell how big is the battery really? whether I got a fake one or not. thanks

I've had an opposite issue few times - phone was shutting down while it was show that it still had battery (20% was the worst case). I fixed it by discrharging fully, then letting the phone charge all trough the night. this was the recommendation that I found on OPO forums from someone from their team.
Hello,
I installed yesterday chroma with hellsgod kernel as described here on my Nexus 4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-chroma-03-31-2015-layers-t3069936
Everything worked fine and I was able to use my phone without problems.
The only downside is that the battery life is horrible. Before I was running the stock 5.1.1 and the battery was lasting more than 1 day with my "standard" use, or at least 4-5 hours with display always on and gps.
Now I noticed that using gps the battery life drops to ~2 hours and the phone doesn't even survive a night in standby.
Looking at the battery use, I can guess there is something terrible going on
http://postimg.org/image/esjjgc4gd/
the battery level completely disappeared when I put it standby when I went to sleep. When I woke up (alarm didn't ring of course) it was at 5%. I charged the phone and reboot it and you can see it shows from ~15% to 55+% in the time of the reboot (the small empty space).
My questions are:
1- is it a known problem/bug of the kernel or maybe just battery monitor issue?
2- is there any way to fix it?
P.S.
I have not changed house/use of the phone nor any relevant changes in the environment/electromagnetic fields afaik
So I have a Yureka Plus. I have installed the Nitrogen OS. Now one problem I am facing is that the phone switches off at battery levels below 30% and never charges upto 100%. The max I was able to charge it is 92% and it drops from 90 to 80 within 5-10 minutes of usage. So I have only 50% working battery to work with. The phone has 2500 mAh battery but while charging it shows, charging slowly and 1150 mAh battery. This same issue was there in the CM 12(the pre installed version) too so I flashed the Nitrogen OS. In case you have doubts about the battery, I got a new battery just weeks ago. Before that my phone wasn't booting up and no matter how much you charged it, it showed "Low Battery" and won't boot up. So I got the charging IC and battery replaced. The phone started working but this issue came in
Hi i had battery problem for every full charged sometimes battery drop normal for 1minute 1% down. But not always, sometimes i can use 30min heavy like messaging,yt videos,and not dropping down any percent. But when i lock phone and stand by for 5minutes,i unlocked phone and see 92% where percent gone? Battery problem? My phone 3 months old. Baterry too.

I think you need to replace your battery since the device is already 3 to 4 years old. Replace it with Sony OEM battery.
I had a similar problem few months back then I replaced it and everything's fine now.

Sony stopped the Z3 production years ago. This is a already old device so the battery its having will certainly be an old one.
Which ROM are you using? stock Sony ROM? Or a custom ROM?
Download this app called AccuBattery. Use it for like 2 to 3 days go know your battery's actual capacity and let me know.
Your battery is either draining because some apps are draining your battery massively or outdated battery. There shouldn't be so much loss like in 5 to 10 mins like how you did.
Check your battery stats from that AccuBattery app and if it's bad you'll have to replace it. :good:
I get 4 to 5 hours of screen on time with 70% brightness.
