Hi,
My phone is almost not charging full or it doesn't show as such.
This is detailed breakup of my issue :
I put phone at charging exactly at 2pm at 2%
3pm it was at 36%
4pm it was 54%
5pm it was at 64%
6pm it was at 73%
7pm it was at 82%
7:30pm it was at 84%
after this I removed phone from charging and rebooted it. Surprisingly it showed 100%.
Battery doesn't last more than 12hrs no matter what I do. I am using Greenify too.
BT, GPS, Auto-Sync, 3G, etc all are off. WiFi On 24hrs.
Screen-off battery drain is also around 8-9% per hour.
Can I do/try something on software side before I order a new battery ?
Right now I am on Carbon ROM (20131008) with stock kernel, 1512, Ondemand, SIO, No OC. Its same on every ROM I tried except seemingly on ARHD 7.3 (used it less than 24hrs. Its rock solid and smooth.)
I would greatly appreciate any help/advice !
I also has this issue still looking for the solution
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
the battery misreading while charging is a common htc's fault after rooting and there is no solution yet
i have the same thing while charging my device
but the difference is i don't have that fast drain
how old is your battery?
did you try a different battery?
make sure it fits correctly to the pins
Battery is just 1yr old. Yup I checked the pins. They are correctly fit.

this is a rom issue i think as this has also happened to many people and and this happens after many days on a single rom (and u make the rom unstable)
the solution is simple just backup ur data and full wipe and flash rom again and u will be good to do for next many days (if u keep the rom stable)
I flash ROM almost every alternative day and I always do Full-Wipe

How to decide which one
Are there any Battery benchmarking app that could tell me if I need a new one ?

Battery Kernel issue
I am new to xda. I actually flashed a new rom after that phone doesn't charge after switching off. Could it be a kernel issue or the rom's issue. I have a Canvas HD. And sorry if this is not the place to ask the question. I couldn't find any other thread related to this. Please help.
Similar issue here. My charging often stops at about 80%, but after a reboot the battery's full charged.
My battery also gets drained very fast, but it's about 2,5 years old so that's probably the problem.
With the CPU clock speed @1,5GHz and the GPU @266MHz i get about 15h +/-2h of battery life.
I keep battery saving ON most of the time. Bluetooth, GPS, 3G etc all OFF. WiFi ON for about 1-2h per day (if i would keep it on longer, my phone would be dead in 4-5h).
I'm using ViperS 5.2.1 right now (full wiped before install). I got the same experience on ARHD and previous ViperS versions.
Tested the charger - it's fine.
I was wondering if anybody else got an old battery like mine and how long does it last on full charge
Hi guys,
I have a HTC Sensation XE that i bought three days ago (second hand) and i have the same problem with the battery % not reading correctly.
Now this is what i observed:
- the charging is very slow - from 20% to 40% in 2-3 hours
- after 2-3 hours of charging if i reboot the phone the charging LED turns green and the battery reading says 100%.
(i tested to see if actually it got charged to 100% and it did, i turned everything on, watched a HD movie, played some games and after 5-6 hours of playing with it i still had 50%)
- tested the battery to see how fast it drains from 10% to shut down and it went on at full brightness and everything on for about an hour and something so this means there might not be any problems with the battery
- so the reading is wrong because the battery is charged after a few hours.
- i did a test to see if the same thing happens when the phone is off and i left it to charge for 2-3 hours and when i got back the charging LED was still orange. When i started the phone the LED went off and back on as green. The battery was 100% charged.
- If the same behavior happens in off mode it means it's not a ROM problem (by the way from what i know the phone is stock, the guy never did the rooting.....that's what he told me - can't know for sure).
- from my electronics background it seems the phone updates the battery information sometime at boottime. When charging, the software keeps the charging LED on because it's supposed to charge due to incorrect data but the hardware charging controller drops the charge current because the the battery is full. So this can be an incorrect sensor reading by the software or an incorrect feedback given by the hardware controller.
So what do you think, what can cause this.
Should i try rooting the device?
And i tried factory reset from android and factory reset from bootloader and the problem is still there.
Ok so i did the following:
- unlock the bootloader
- flashed CWM
- installed superuser
- wipe battery stats
- wipe device
- calibrate battery with an application from market
The problem is still there.
I figured that when in bootloader first thing you can read is the S-ON/S-OFF. Before doing the unlock it was "LOCKED" and after "UNLOCKED".
I did a relock and the status changed to "RELOCKED" so this means the guy that had the phone before me didn't root which again means the theory that says this problem occurs when the user tries to root the device is not true because it seems the behavior is observed on an unrooted device.
I will dig deeper maybe i find more ideas on what i can do.
I'm running out of software options so this is pointing at something hardware.
I'll get back with updates when i find something else.

probably it is htc's bug
the same happened to me after rooting the device
For now I will try to make some full cycles of the battery and see if anything changes. I usually use the phone at work and by the time I get home it's almost empty. Plug to charger and till morning it's full with a green light. I will have to monitor the charging times and get back with results.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA Free mobile app
Well i did some full charging cycles and nothing changed, still the same long charge time(read by the phone) and with restart it bounces to 100%.
I had the original Android 4.0.3 with Htc Sense 3.6 at the time. Got 4EXT recovery and an 4.0.4 rom with Htc Sense 4.1. Did a full wipe and battery stats , installed the new 4.0.4 rom but the problem persists.
At this point i think the battery is the problem so the next thing to do is to change it. I will get back after i change it, hopefully sometime in november.
After a long time I managed to change the battery and after a few tests it seems the problem is still there. The time on battery improved as I expected but everything else is the same which means it's something hardware defective in the phone. Also did some tests with android 5.1 and the same results. Meantime I sold the phone and got a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo. Hope this research gives some answers to someone at some point. Cheers.
Hey everyone!
I need some help
I'm on ultimate nexus rom(4.2.2)
And I'm using xtreme rejoice kernel
Yesterday i flashed bindass boost kernel for testing purposes
And the phone started to behave abnormally
(The kernel is really good and smooth, the developer has done a great job)
But in my case, i ran into a little problems
Now my phone's battery isn't charging
Or if charging then it's not showing the increase in charge
I flashed back the xtreme rejoice kernel
But the problem still persists
I've tried using different chargers
My phone is now plugged in from 1.5 hrs
And the charge is the same
But if i restart my phone the charge increases after reboot
I've tried reflashing my kernel and rom
Even a clean install
What might it be?
Is it a damaged battery?
Or a software bug i'm experiencing
And also the colour of led till yesterday was lighter
And today it's darker
Somebody help please!
Thanks in advance!
Restarted and I'm dowm to 24%
Please somebody help!

I had faced the same problem last 2months ago. Whenever I restarted my phone it will either increase or decrease.
What I had done is in that bad condition I charged whole night and the next day I flashed back the ROM properly.
Whatever battery % was left I ended up to 0 and then tried charging and it took to 100% then I calibrated it. Its working fine for me till date
Check if it helps you and if it does hit thanks

I am on Tsunami Techvanced and yes its showing same else 1% drop in reboot.
Check by calibrating else your battery might be the culprit.

but the battery is same 2000mah
and now i don't have any problem
even when i restart there is no battery drop

I've tried a few
and will keep trying until i find one
btw thanks everyone for your suggestions
have a great time!
Ok guys sorry to revive such an old thread
But i gave my canvas 2 to my mom
And now again some problem is there
The battery is only 5-6 months old and is in good condition.
But it's giving very low battery backup.
It takes forever to charge
But after charging it for sometime if i restart the phone the battery level rises.
So would caliberation help?

Hi guys, just downloaded and flashed the latest lollipop for my t mobile device and my phone charges too slowly like from 30% to 100 in 4-ish hours...I wanna know if there is anything i can do about that. Your help will be very much appreciated, thanks.
The charging speed has gotten better after a day or two for me. Ampere shows 1.3 A.
First of all, hello to everyone on the team of XDA Assist and thank you for having this great forum. Okay, now to the big deal, so this issue starts since the first day I changed to Lollipop through the CM 12 Nightlies, the main problem is that my battery drains a lot in idle (like 20% in 4 hours while on 3G mode and 2-3% per hour on WiFi) and also, my battery gauge is wrong (e.g: I use my phone and it stays at 60% then it suddenly drops at 57%) and I dont know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue, here is a list of the things I have tried:
Wiping Cache/Dalvik/Factory reset/Data
Calibrating the battery with a "calibration" app on the PS
Changing the ROM, I have tried CM12, 12.1 and Im actually running BlissPop 5.1 (Same problem on all of the 3 ROMS)
Letting the battery fully discharge and charge from 0% (When I connect my phone to the wall charger while the phone is off, it will turn on by itself)
And I dont know what to do anymore, seriously this is getting me crazy and yes, I already posted on the Moto G subforum but no one answered... so I guess they dont know how to fix my issue? However, I know this is not a helpdesk so I would like to know what else can I do or where other subforum can I go to fix my problem already.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best I can tell you is to post in your device's forum. They are the experts on your device. But I'd go back to stock and see if you still have the same battery issues. If you don't then it's an issue with the Rom you flashed.
Thread closed.
Hello.
I'm having battery issues on my HTC One S with [ROM] MaximusHD 10.0.0, already tryed with 3 different batteries but all of them drain very fast, the phone still has about 50% charge but switches off ( while being used ) and when i switch it on only has about 18/20% charge.
At the begginning i thought the battery was the problem but since this issues appens with all 3 batteries i'm now thinking it might be some kind of issue regarding the ROM and would like to know if already appened to someone else.
Thanks in advance
