[Q] Battery crash?

Hello,
I bought this phone a month ago. At first the battery lasted quite well, I got around 5 hours of screen time with battery life to spare. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago I accidentally left the phone under my pillow and fell asleep on it- causing it to overheat a tad bit (I woke up 3 hours later and it was very warm to the touch and had turned off). After charging it up, I continued to use it normally but noticed that the battery would drain a little bit quicker than normal. Before I could easily go around 10 hours with heavy use and have 40% battery left, now after 10 hours it's left with about 15-20%. I am a heavy user but I haven't properly checked how much screen time I'm getting now, however I'll update that later.
As for the main problem- last night I charged my phone before sleeping (100%) and when I woke up in the morning it was turned off. I turned it on only to see that my battery had drained to 0% while on standby all night- whereas overnight I usually only lose around 2-3% battery.
After charging my phone up for 15 minutes- the battery level again returned to 100%. I only charge my phone through my laptop via USB. What happened here? Is my battery deteriorating? Should I get the phone replaced? I would appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks.
Also I've attached the screenshots showing how my battery died and how it was quickly restored. Can someone explain this occurrence?

Your sudden battery drop has nothing to do with what happened before.
Several people already mentioned this sudden battery drop as you can read in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545553 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678909
No reason to return your device, its a know issue.

Drain your battery completly then charge your phone to 100%, turn the phone one and leave it to charge a hour more. Essentialy you have to recalibrate your battery.

So a brief update regarding SOT.
I left home with 90% charge this morning. Used the phone for 8 hours and it went down to 20% - granted, with heavy use.
Got 4.5 hours of SOT. Is this about average? imo I feel like this falls a bit below average. Ill check other threads as well and compare, but as far as I know, I feel like I should be getting a *little* more juice out of my phone. Data connection was on throughout, and some games were played and pictures taken.
Anyone else feel like they're getting sub-par use out of their battery?
*screenshots provided.
- checked the other threads, looks like ~5 hrs SOT is the most this phone puts out?

Same here.
Are there any news from Motorola?

[Q] Battery problem

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.

battery life

hey guys, am I the only one.....
after the last update, my battery went to [email protected]!
Initially I would get a good 24 to 28 hours. No, I barely get 8.
No other chnages...???

Did you try restoring your device to defaults? Maybe formatting a battery will be a solution (discharge it to 0% then fully charge - do it 3 times).

I bought mine on monday, it updated as soon as I started it. First charge of course took a toll from me playing with the watch, only 13 hours. Second charge, took it off the charger at 9.30 pm last night, used it for about 2 hours, put it on "do not disturb" until 6.30 am this morning, only lost 8% battery in 9 hours.
Now, after 3 hours of normal use (not much looking at it and light notifications) lost 3% so it's roughly doing 1 or 2 % and hour. Not so bad if it stays that way.
I hope to get it to 2 days of normal use, if it gets me there, it's a solid buy.

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.

Pixel battery calibrate not working

I just had a new battery installed in my Pixel by Ubreakifix because my battery had been draining quickly. My problem is that the battery continues to drain quickly even with the new battery. My understanding is that they install OEM batteries so I don't think that the new battery is the problem.
So, I tried to calibrate the new battery using these steps found here:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
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-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. 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, let your battery discharge all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
9. Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.
I seemed to get caught in an endless loop on step 6. After charging the phone to 100% on step 5, I would disconnect the charger and restart the phone. Every time the battery percentage would drop to 60 or 70 percent after restart. After doing that about 5 or 6 times, I gave up on that step because it didn't seem to be making any difference. One cycle of doing this tends to take several hours because of the charge time from 60 percent to 100%. So, this ended up being a many hour process. Should I have just kept repeating step 6 over multiple days in the hopes that eventually after many charge/restart cycles it would eventually register 100%?
Now the battery calibration seems completely out of whack. I have fast battery drain and the pixel shuts off sometimes around 30 or 20 percent remaining battery. Now with minimal screen on time, the battery might last 8 hours. It used to easily last all day even with moderate screen on time.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I would take it back to Ubreakifix. Tell them the battery drops from 100 to 60-70 after a restart. It sounds exactly like what you would expect from a bad battery.

Yep did that already. They replaced the battery again (for free) and still the same problem. The technician said that this has been a common problem for many pixels after they’ve replaced the battery. He claims it’s because the pixel can’t handle android 10 but I don’t believe that.

I recently bought used Pixel and Pixel XL.
The XL exhibited the exact problems you mentioned (looping steps 5 and 6 and shut off at around 20% mark). Even have this on camera (btw, split screen opening some games like PUBG with your battery status on the other side is a good way to drain the battery and show battery percentage). Not sure if the battery was previously changed but I took it back to the seller and got a refund.
On the other hand, the Pixel (non-XL) is running on Android 10 just fine. Did the battery calibration as you mentioned and it was good to go.
