I use a Sony Xperia Z1 model c6902 phone. It is around 2 years old. No modifications have been done and it was on stock. When the battery was at 60 - 65% I get a notification saying battery low 1% powering off and shuts down. Then when the charger is plugged In it starts charging from 1% And after reaching 10% jumps suddenly back to 60%!!
Here are the steps I tried to resolve it:
1. It looked like a software bug so reset the phone to factory. No go
2. Unlocked bootloader, rooted, flashed 2-3 ROMS, no go
3. Flashed a stock . Ftf file. No go.
4. At the moment trying this app called Battery repair which I know for sure isn't going to help.
What should I do?
Edit: after battery recalibration and cell map (pretty sure all it does is reset batt stats) charge now dropped from 96% to 33%
Hello,
It seems your battery is faulty, its a common issue on all devices, usually the battery acting the way is caused by
1) overcharging battery frequently(leaving on charge too long)
2) charging while the device is under heavy use(its best to set the device aside to charge while not using it, even better to power off the device while it charges)
3) using the wrong charger(example: using 2A charger on a device that requires a 1A charger, this creates excessive heat and damages battery)
4) the battery could have a flaw that reduced its lifespan.
You can try another battery or you can post your question in the forum linked below.

The experts there may something to add. Good luck.

I bought my Xperia L about 7 months ago. It drains out battery level from 100% to 0% in about 3-4 hours and turns off. Without charging If the device turns on, the battery level shows around 90%, And so the same procedure keeps repeating. I do not charge the battery. The battery has charge in it but the system is showing the false batter level.
I even updated the software and also run the system repair but nothing improved.
Can someone help me please!
Thanks

Sounds like defective battery. The thread will be moved to appropriate forum so that the right experts may chime in.
First, sorry for my bad English.
But i am very very need your help now.
I've just buy a Note Edge (Korean version SM-N915S) from ebay.
Everything seems okay except an issue which made me sick for 2 weeks ago:
- My battery works well with over 5 hours of SCREEN-ON-TIME but:
- When my battery ran out to 0%, after phone turned-off, I remove the battery to remove the simcard.
- Then I just plugged-in my battery back, and connect the phone to the charger.
- I charge my phone in OFF-STATE for about 20~30 % of battery (oftenly is 35%), and then disconnect the charger, then I remove the battery again to plug my simcard in to the phone.
- After plugged-in simcard & battery, I connect my phone again to the charger, and what the hell ??? It say my phone got 4x% of battery (oftenly 48%).
- I turn my phone on, tried to turn it on-off, connect and disconnect the charger for a while but nothing changed, it is still 48%.
- I've heard about the "wrong/virtual battery issue on Android" before, so I start to use this phone to track the battery's working status, but no problem, my battery works normally like it have 48% instead of 35% (as I known, if it's a virtual/wrong battery, the battery will drain as fast as 35% instead of 48%, or the phone will turn-off suddenly while the battery still 10~15% remaining).
- The question is: What's the exact problem ? If 13% more of battery is real battery, so the phone have the ability to charge 13% in 1 minute ?? If it's wrong/virtual battery, why doesn't it work wrong ?
Just tested on many ROMs: both stock firmware & custom ROM, both KitKat & Lollipop, I did every thing I can: clear the batterystats.bin, calibrate the battery, factory reset, full wipe, stock charger, QC 2.0 and none-QC 2.0 charger, replace battery...etc... but it still happen at any firmware, any charger, any batterya I installed.
- I'm very sad for 2 weeks recently just for re-test this procedure again and again, because this phone cost me a lot, I very love Note Edge but I dont have too much money so i have to buy a secondhanded phone Biểu tượng cảm xúc frown
And in my country, the Note Edge have the limited-sell method, there're only 1000 phones over the country, so I can't find anyone else who also own it to compare, or find that their phone have this issue or not, to take a sure that it is or it isn't the hardware problem of my phone (if every Note Edge have this issue too).
So please help me, XDA members Biểu tượng cảm xúc frown I need you to do a same procedure to compare with me, thanks in advance.
Perhaps flashing my SkyHigh TW LL kernel will help...... and then install Synapse app.
I have implemented Battery Scaling Calibration in the BATTERY section. Just follow the instructions in thread to flash and within Synapse itself.
My Moto Maxx is never going below 15% battery for quite some time.
I was running CM 12.1 before and I am running the CM 13.0 preview now.
The problem now seems much worse.
This could be my battery dying?
Wait its not going below 15% or above 15%? Also, did you flash the ROM with a clean wipe (no dirty flash)?
Another thing to note is that the CM 13.0 Build is a "PREVIEW" which means that there are a TON of bugs in there. I would advise you go back to CM 12.1 for the time being.
It is never going below 15%.
On CM12.1 it also happened.
When it reaches 15% percent, the phone shuts down and needs to be charged.
After sometime charging, it displays the battery as above 15% and I can turn it on again.
Mine had always done that at 5 percent. Here lately it's closer to 7 percent.
I'm on original 5.0.2 and also facing that issue... I've heard onde it's related to the use of non original chargers, or even QI chargers... Never got rid of it, even after a full wipe/factory reset...
I've had this problem too and made a post over in the Droid Turbo forums but no one ever replied..
At least I'm not the only one that has this problem.
Yeah I've always had this issue between 5-8% on my three Turbos. Stock Rom and other flavors. They all shut the phone down around there.
Solved the problem with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newagetools.batdoc&hl=pt_BR
Now my battery goes down to 1% again, yahoo!!!!
how can that app fix it?? i would think its a placebo effect as i see dificult for an app to read or fix battery info...
maybe it locks out the bad parts (like an old chkdsk on a HD)
anyway i will tryit if i see it tries to go rogue with the Ads it Dies..
Batteries in laptops and phones have a file that keeps track of battery life. They use this to estimate percentage.
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA-Developers mobile app
still having this issue
I have the same problem. It started as shutting down at %5, then %7, now it's %15 shuts down.
The same thing on my XT1254. It shuts down near 5%, I will try to charge it with my old i9505 charger, it could be a problem related to TurboCharger.
Hello guys,
My girlfriend's phone had this issue some months ago, what I did in order to fix this issue was:
1) Let the battery drain until phone shutdown. (try to turn on again until you cannot)
2) Fully charge with an original Motorola charger (phone turned off)
3) When it reached 100%, turn on the phone but enter in the fastboot mode and wipe caches
4) Uses the phone normally and let reaches 0%.
Making these steps, the battery back to have a "normal" behaviour

I´ll perform these steps, thank you
Although you see the battery as percentage, the operating system does not see it that way. It uses lower limit voltage of the battery to shut down the device in order to extend battery life. Batteries do not like to get and stay deep discharged (below low level voltage)...if you do this frequently, you will severely hamper your battery's life.
Hi all
I've had my Xperia Z3 for about 2 years now (currently running Marshmallow), and over the past say 6-12 months the battery life has been ordinary (may or may not coincide with any software update, not that i recall).
More recently, i've had the phone do some funny things but it more or less has become unusable now since the last incident which was:
Battery dropped over a day down to 50% (which was about normal given the usage of it). The battery level then stayed at 50% for length of time, and then started flashing between 50% to 100%, then it died.
performed the reset and plugged it in again, the battery level was at 0%, dark red light flashing etc., charge reported from 1% to 29% to 100% rather quickly, eventually i could turn it back on but it went from 100% to 0% "shutting down" quickly.
so now it will charge and stay on at 100% for a period of time, but will either a) stay at 100% for hours then turn off, or b) slowly discharge to say 96% then suddenly die.
either way, when it is plugged in it will say 0% battery and slowly show charging to say 20-odd% then be at 100% charge (and the cycle repeats.)
If while it's at 100% i reset the phone it will restart at 0% and power off.
(at the moment I've removed the sim and am using a backup phone at the moment so the only usage it gets are some wifi access and podcast / music listening connected to bluetooth headphones)
oh, while i remember - when the phone has done this abrupt shutdown, upon recharge the bluetooth is always switched off, which is strange but makes me wonder if this is more sinister than simply battery issues.
The phone is out of warranty but there's a local phone repairs shop that have quoted me a reasonable enough price to replace the battery, so my question is: what are the chances that this is purely a battery problem and would it be a sound investment to spend $$ replace the battery or am i wasting my time and money and the phone has a nasty chip or motherboard issue and really is just halfdead?
Aside from these recent battery problems, I am fairly happy with this phone and don't want to pay $1k for a brand new phone just yet if i can avoid by spending under $100 for a new battery and giving it a life extension.
Any feedback welcome
Cheers
***EDIT***
Sorry, amateur mistake, this should have gone into the Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section
can this thread be moved - please accept my apologies
I had that problem few times on different phones, battery dies.. You should replace it.
Replace the battery and you're good to go. If you've opened the back cover of your Z3 then maybe you should try considering to replace your battery by yourself. You could easily get one from aliexpress.
Hi all, I am experiencing some problems with the battery of my phone after doing a factory reset due to general slowdown. Here are the specs of the device:
E6653 - Android 7.1.1 - Build no. 32.4.A.1.54 (branded by Wind which is an Italian telephone company)
The problem is, after the reset the phone started to shutdown due to "low" battery at 70%. My first thought was "OK, the battery is gone" because I have the phone since 2015. But after the restart, the level is still 70% instead of 0%.
Moreover, when it shuts down, I can't reboot unless the phone is on charge. When it restarts, as I said before, the charge is the same level as before the reboot, and if I leave the phone untouched it lasts for the whole day as before. But if I use it for more than some minute, it reboots again signaling low battery, but the charge is the same as before. The phone can't reboot by itself, it needs to be plugged. After it has restarted, I can remove the cable and the phone keeps working as usual.
Here is what I tried to do until now:
- Calibrate the phone (phone is not rooted): the phone keeps working until the battery goes to 60%, then shuts down and is unable to reboot if not plugged to the charger. the same happens if I try to reboot it manually.
- Remove power saving options (stamina, data saving etc.) the phone keeps working until 40% of power, then shuts down as before, but if I try to reboot it manually it is able to reboot normally.
Here is what I am thinking to do:
- Root the phone to perform a root calibration: in this case I would like to know if there is a way to root the stock ROM only, without custom kernels, custom ROM etc. because the stock ROM has always worked flawlessly and I don't want to change it;
- Think about a battery replacement. One thing I noticed is that before the reboot, the battery seems to heat a bit, but not more than usual. I don't know if it can be linked to the problem I described.
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance
I think it's purely a matter of battery because I never experienced it in the xperia Z3,about the problems of the root and of the calibration battery that no results really mean,I'd say replace the battery and if the problem still occurs there is the possibility of more severe that the IC power or IC charger or something I don't quite understand because I'm not a technician
I have same issue. Even battery level show more than 80%, but suddenly the Z5 shutdown. It is really annoying. I did factory reset but not help. Check battery status show healthy as well. I am not sure battery issue or some hardware issue such a corrupt NAND.
Also phone got hot even just take a picture.
Totally I am tired with this phone. I used use many kinds of Android since 1.6. But this Z5 stock is unstabler than own customized kernel phone.
I regret bought this phone.
I found this old thread still open so the conclusion is: I had the phone tested by ad authorized assistance centre and the battery was gone, so I had it replaced and re-calibrated the phone as soon as the new battery was in. It has been working for two years and the capacity is still at about 95% so the thread can be marked as solved
