I have a strange issue with my S7582 . I was experiencing battery drain problems with my 2 year old phone since a while. Its battery started bulging out , so i thought replacing with a new one will solve the issue. The issue with the old battery was that it shutdowns immediately as it reaches 40 - 50 %. also the center home button was working only sometimes. After i replaced the battery ,i charged it and started using it. I observed that the issue was still the same previously the phone switched off at 40 % abruptly, now it shows battery level drop like 40,39,38..etc(1 % per sec) and goes off and shut downs. I gave the phone for servicing suspecting water leakage or board short circuit. But they told that its perfect, no issues with the board.
I am using wifi and 3g data on a daily basis and this phone gives me back up only half a day. I have only minimum no. of apps installed- (whatsapp,imo,uc mini lite ..).
Can anyone help me out.
Calibrate the battery!

Hi, I think your phone is sticking to your old battery's 'batterystats.bin' file. If you are rooted, download this small application from playstore ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=en ). Install it and grant the root permisssions for it. And keep it for charging, and then wait till 100% charge. And then tap on calibrate. It shows 'Calibration Succeed' . Done. Hit Thanks if helped! :good:
Same issue here
I'm having the exact same issue, tried calibrating, didn't help. Bought a new battery (the previous became really fat), no changes. I'm about to try a -supossedly- long lasting non original battery, hoping that turns the phone useful again.

I googled that a lot, and even thought many people mentioned it, that file seems to be there for a different purpose than keeping the battery callibration. It is used to store actual "battery stats", which are shown on the "battery" section at "Settings". I'm pretty that calibration must be the solution, but haven't found any way to do it properly.
Try this!

Try re-installing your ROM or give a hard reset. I suggest you take a backup of all your current data somewhere safe.

Hi there,
I'm using a almost 2-years old HTC Sensastion and I was having huge battery problems for the last few days.
It all started back in february when my phone started shutting itself off just like that, showing strange battery stats (after a phone-forced reboot, 70 % of my battery would be gone), etc. So I checked some threads on XDA and came to the conclusion that my standard HTC battery wasn't functioning properly anymore. Per the advice given by some users here, I bought an Anker 1900mAh which worked fine for the past few months.
Unfortunately, the problems started again last week. Loosing battery whithout even using the phone, weird reboots which resulted in an apparently empty battery, etc. I wiped everything but the sd card and installed a new rom, but that didn't solve the problem either. So I suspected the Anker battery - you never know if you get a somewhat broken battery...
I bought another Anker 1900 mAh battery last week, but my phone is still acting weird. I didn't have any more forced reboots, but sometimes the phone just shuts down without me doing anything. Unplugging the battery for a few seconds is the only way to get it started again.
For example yesterday: I used the music app and Sygic Aura as a navigation app for about 30 minutes (screen on the whole time). The phone had 100 % battery in the beginning and after I shut everything off, it still had 95%. 10 Minutes later though the battery dropped by (!) 10 %. Just like that.
I got home and kept the phone running for about 8 hours (just "sleeping"..no data connection, no wifi, no app running). After 4 hours, the battery lost 20 % just like that. I've installed some "battery apps" to get to the bottom of this:
8 hours of just laying there:
12 hours of just laying there:
----
I'm a little concerned that this might be hardware related and that I might have to get a new phone. Changing the battery didn't solve the problem. Could it be an overheating issue? When I got home yesterday I noticed that my phone was really hot (it was freaking hot in my car though as well...).
I've been using that MIUI rom for almost a year I reckon and I've never had any problems remotely to this, so I don't think it's a software problem (at least not ROM related).
I hope you can help me
probably i think there is no proper contact
did you try to put a piece of paper ibetween the pins to improve contact?
No, I haven't.Do you mean on top of the battery or should I put the piece of paper on the bottom of the phone so that it's like

edit:try both ways
The Sensation is a bit funny in the way that it reports battery usage, and can jump all over the place even on light usage. Try rebooting if you get a big jump and see if it goes back up.
Edit: Woot 100th post!
That would mean that the Sensation shuts itself off because it misreads the battery percentage? That seems highly unlikely to me. But I'm no expert

Hi Guys, i'm noob, i wana ask about my htc sensation, after 2 year i'm using it, today i found
when battery charging (htc Senstaion) dismiss displaying percentage of battery after i restarting while charging.
****battery charging ------> Battery percentage displaying 60% then i restarting the phone while this situation
and then when phone finish restarting and ready to use battery precentage displaying 100%(full)
is it normal?
sorry my english bad
Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

i am not sure about that
edit: the point is the battery is increasing its percentage slower when it passes 60%-70%
but it charges the same
so if you reboot the device then it jumps at 90% or full charge

Is it known what causes this?
Someone above said "it is a htc's common issue after rooting". Is there any source on that? For all I know, percentage of charge of battery is determined by a combination of output voltage and amps, preferably referenced by a table taking battery age into account (correct me if I'm wrong though).
Rooting the device should not be an issue, unless HTC did something in their rom to detect this and let the battery percentage be wrong. Then again, most of us aren't on the stock rom. To be on another rom, the bootloader needs to be unlocked. Did HTC do something that unlocking the bootloader makes voltage/discharge readings unreliable? I doubt that...
I'm interested in this because I unlocked and flashed a Sensation XE for a friend of mine (SultanXDA's KitKat rom), but the battery discharges very, very fast, without an obvious cause. So I wonder whether it could be the battery is not fully charged and/or the phone decides it's empty to early.
"it is a htc's common issue after rooting"<- i said that
it was a source but i can't find it now
also i don't know if htc did something with unlocking the bootloader by purpose
if you flashed the rom recently don't judge the battery too early
give it 4-5 cyrcle charges until it settles down then see how it goes

I have exactly this problem.
It sounds like the same ROM, Saltan kit kat. I am using the latest kernal 3.4, having tried two kernals I get the same results. For example I charged the phone to full, and after 2 hours of use I'm down to 55%, WiFi on and browsing, gmail synced but not much else, screen brightness turned down etc.
I only flashed a couple days ago, will it improve massively over the next few days?
The phone was giving a days charge easily before flashing.
I am also noticing a message saying 'unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped working' (or similar). When this happens and I click OK I notice the signal disappears for a few seconds before coming back. Could this be the cause of the problem?
Could it be he ROM?
I'm new to all this but managed to unlock, root, flash recovery, and flash the ROM thanks to the brilliant guides on XDA. Any help with the above would be appreciated.

i am facing the same problem , rather my problem is goes much further .
iam on stock ROM and not rooted my sensation. my device often restart automatically even when battery is about 90% or battery is 40% and it continue this from last 2-3 months.
and after restarting battery percentage is also changed, see attached pics.
i am tired of this rebooting , i observed that restaring is mostly when i connect to calls or text msgs.
can somebody pleeeeeeaase help me.

This really sounds like your battery, especially if it's not the original or equivalent. But, it could also be an app on the background, keeping your phone from "deep sleep". Bad cell coverage (very low signal) also drains your battery relatively quickly when you're on 3G. A good WiFi connection consumes less power than 3G with bad signal. Another possibility could be (but unlikely) is that your phone is intended for another region and thus having trouble communicating with the GSM network.
- Check your battery.
- Check what your battery is used for.
- Check your battery time with network set to GSM only.

Still you keep saying "after rooting" which is significantly different from unlocking the bootloader and flashing. Furthermore, to me it seems far more people report "better battery life" with their new roms.
About initially flashing the rom: i thought format of system, data and cache (including dalvik cache) ought to be enough. It has had somewhere between the 10 and 20 charge cycles by now. Battery life improved a little, but it's still far from acceptable. The battery percentage between reboots should only differ marginally between reboots (might need a few minutes of usage to become accurate). Also notable: over 20% difference in percentage reading between rom and recovery.
I wouldn't mind investigating this. So I wonder if anyone with "proper" battery life could provide me a "dumpsys" for the battery service and would perhaps have the time to take a look at /proc with me.

i unlocked the bootloader and root the device at the same period and i stayed for months with the stock rom
i don't know which one is responsible for percentage misreadings
also don't get confused
i am talking only for percentage misreadings and not for better battery life
and only when you charge the device.not unplugged
of course i had(and i still have) very good battery life with whatever rom i have flashed
by the way i have noticed the percentage difference between recovery and rom but i don't remember if it was 20%

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. I really want to solve this issue, so I'm quite keen on getting the facts straight.
Back to my issue then (yeah I'm effectively hijacking this thread): is it possible the percentage misreading is causing the battery not to fully charge and/or discharge? Or should I direct my search to another cause?
This is what I found (or did not find) so far:
- Stand-by time seems great, the drain occurs when the screen is on.
- There is nothing in the normal battery usage (usage goes to screen)
- I was unable to detect an obvious culprit with better battery stats.
- I did notice that when I do a dumpsys, service battery shows voltage in V, while my Sony shows it in mV.
- I tried offline charging for about an hour today (light still orange), after boot the battery indicator showed 100%. It dropped to 86% in 7 to 8 minutes.

probably never truly reached the full charge(100%) when charged it in that one hour

what do u think , is this battery or some hardware etc fault??
Running kitkat, battery recently replaced. all good for a month.
Yesterday the phone suddenly switched off , i switched it on again and the battery had jumped down about 40%.
It crashed again but then remained stable for the rest of the day.
Tonight (at 50% battery remaining) i got a sudden warning "6% battery remaining" and it crashed again, i switched on again and the battery went back to normal , around 40%, stable since.
Any ideas or is the phone on the way out ?
Did you buy an official N5 battery? It looks like a faulty battery...
This is the one i ordered

It can't do any harm but it won't help in this situation.
Try the following:
1. Let the battery go to 5% then charge your device to 100%
2. Disconnect the cable
3. Reconnect it and check if the battery level is at 100%. If not keep charging. If 100% disconnect and reboot. Then reconnect until 100%
These steps worked for some users (even if steps 1 & 2 should be enough IMHO).
Moreover you can try to remove apps or flash the factory images to check if the problem persists. If nothing works then your last attempt is to send it back to ReplaceBase.
thanks for taking the time to reply, will try your suggestions,
Just had another strange battery drain, captured it on this screenshot.
You can see battery just takes a sudden dive and recovers somewhat.

I have just read a nice thread about massive battery drain. Check this out.
His explanations fit with your battery stats.
Thanks for that, will have a browse, but would it explain my phone suddenly dying at 50% ?

I guess. Anyway you should follow the above steps and clean up your device by removing useless apps/features. Finally flashing factory images is sometimes a good thing to start from scratch.
Thanks again
I just tried your first suggestion, charged till 100% then disconnect, it immediately dropped to 99% so i recharged to 100%
Then disconnected and rebooted, weirdly when the phone rebooted it said the battery was now at 19% ,
Back on charge again.
Ugh.... Good luck but I would bet on a faulty battery. You'll probably have to send it back if you can use the warranty.
Did you have the same issue after receiving the new battery? Did you change several things of your setup (kernel, new apps...)?
Going from 100% to 19% can't be explained by the above thread. IMO no apps, no kernel, no software can explain this drop. Some folks say that it can also be caused by the motherboard...
Replacebase have promised to send me out a new battery , they too think its likely a dodgy battery, top customer service so far, hopefully it wont take too long to arrive.
I didnt change anything on my phone, perhaps updated some apps , its stock Kitkat,,, meanwhile Is there any way to check the health of the motherboard ? i don't like the sound of that.

Without profesionnal tools we can't check this AFAIK. Don't worry about the motherboard. It was only a suggestion reported by a few users. Chances are your problem will be solved after receiving the new battery.
ok thought as much, battery charged up to 100%, rebooted and now at 60%.
Ill put back in the old battery for now and see how it behaves. thanks for you help
Hello,
The battery life of my Honor 6X used to last around +48hours with more than 5h screen on time, and consumes between 3-5% overnight.
However, recently the battery is not doing so well even though there is no heavy usage (on screen time around 1h30), overnight the phone consumes between 12-20% with WiFi and Data off...
Is there anything I can do to identify the issue? anyone else having the same issues?
Model number BLN-L21
Build BLN-L21C432B367
Android 7
Hi, this should be in Q&A section so ask a mod to move the thread when you'll have time.
Battery is a strong point of this phone, and reading what you wrote perfectly matches with my actual phone stats (i refer to 48h lasting, 5h SoT...) so i'll begin to ask ya some things to help you identify the issue, since that this strange and sudden change from a moment to another looks bizarre:
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update?
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using?
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way)
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not?
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...)
I know where you are coming from, I have had the same issue after the EMUI 5 update, I have to reset all settings in back up and reset options to get to the 2 day standby time every 2 weeks

Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update?
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using?
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way)
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not?
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...)

Hey RedSkull23, MTjake
Did you ever updated the phone via Firmware Finder, other than System Update? No
Battery optimization is enabled for apps that you aren't using? Yes, I didn't make any changes to the list since the problem occurred
When your phone is charging, do you use it much? (You could shorten battery life this way) While charging, I only use the phone to check notifications, I don't really use it
You make full charge cycles, letting battery touch 100% for example, or not? Yes, I let it reach 100% and I don't keep it charging overnight, I did notice that once it reach 95% it takes much longer to reach 100%
Something else that you could have done to the phone? (Root, mods, Xposed, Modules...) Not really

I know where you are coming from, I have had the same issue after the EMUI 5 update, I have to reset all settings in back up and reset options to get to the 2 day standby time every 2 weeks

I've the BLN-L21C185 as well, apparently there's a bug in the firmware which Huawei hasnt fixed yet and no one on the forum knows how to fix the issue so you are on your own

Oh damn, but the thing is, after the EMUI 5 update the standby lasted 2 day without changing anything, but my phone had 2 security updates since the EMUI 5, the first one might caused the problem, not sure though
Like for me it's like I reset the phone use it for 7 8 days the battery life is phenomenal, I use my phone for media consumption (watching videos, YouTube, iflix and stuff) and I get a good 11 hours of screen on time with 25 per cent battery remaining, then I don't know what happens and the stand by time drops to 13 hours screen on time goes down to 3 or 4 hours, then it's back to resetting the settings and it's good for a few days vice versa and this happened after the EMUI 5 update, the performance is also choppy on this version, don't know what to do have tried everything on battery optimization here but no use :/
The chances that it could be a bug increases after your answer; why don't you ask directly to Huawei/Honor if they're aware of this?
I tried but the Huawei officials in Pakistan have the same response to whatever you ask them :we are working on the updates stay tuned -_-

Other regions get bug fixes all the time and the only thing I've gotten is security updates :/

Doesn't work , have tried all of the stuff in the post
I am having the same issue. Battery life was very good but in last couple of weeks has gone to 3-4 hours without any great use.
Hi guys, sorry to post here after all this time, I had kind of the same problem lately but worst.
My battery wouldn't last more than half a day, with almost no screen on time ... I check battery stats, everything, doesn't look like something has changed except WiFi seems to be on all the time, when in fact it is disabled. I used to have intelligent WiFi on, but even when it's off, looks like my phone is searching for WiFi all day long.
I have done nothing, not installed a new app, no change on optimization, no nothing.
Also no root, never unlocked bootloader. Did you fix your problem and how ?
I'm in the same boat with you.

Hi
All of a sudden my battery started draining rapidly. See the attached screenshots for ref. I thought maybe it was a software bug since it started happening 2 days ago. I tried booting into the safe mode and the fast drain didn't stop. I also did hard reset with same result. At this point I'm thinking about getting new battery. Just wanna see if xda community has any tips if maybe I've missed something. It's just strange that this sudden degradation happened overnight.
Obviously, that draining is not normal.
In the upper left corner there is a warning that some app is running in background.
When you did the hard reset also you did a restore from some backup? Is the device warm/hot?
Sometimes it shows carrier utility or people apps running in the background. I restored from Google backup (forgot to mention in the OP). Device isn't hot at all.
i stared clean with LeeDroid ROM (had original Sprint ROM on) after wiping the data and the fast battery drain remains. at this point i'm going to replace the batter since it's not a software issue.
I'd definitely say your battery has shat itself. I'd also try something like gsam or battery info in *#*#4636#*#* to see the health of your battery. I'd be interested to know if it reports it as "good" health
It's strange but the standby seems to be better now whereas it was going fast before. Thought maybe it 'fixed' itself, however during a phone call (4min) I lost %3. That's definitely not normal 4636 is not showing any battery info. Can't find anything in gsam showing health status of the battery. Is it in pro?
If the battery drains fast during calls can be due to poor/weak network reception (the modem tries to maintain the best quality and scans the network over and over).
3 sot with 50% (or little more) battery left is a good value, in my opinion.
Oh, when recoveries are made due to some problem is better to not restore from backups. In that backup can be the app or setting that is causing the problem.
Anyway, with the last google play services (14.7.99) I also have noticed a bit more drain during standby.
Sounds like you need to replace it

I have about the same issue. The battery is draining too fast and it's very noticeable when idle, even when idle in safe mode + airplane mode it loose 20% during an 7 to 8h night. I tried all htc nougat and oreo official and unofficial roms and nothing fixed the problem.
I also used the htc diagnostic tool to determine whether my battery is "good" or not and..... according to the diagnostic tool it is "good". Notice that according to diagnostic tool the battery is defective only if it goes from 100 to less than 75% during the test. Mine goes from 100 to 93 during the test which consists in showing a kind of dark grey screen at full brightness during 1 hour.
Even with a battery rated as good I decided to sent my device for repair because it was not good.
I received the device back and it has not been repaired because it passes the diagnosric tool test. test.
So i'll replace the battery myself as soon as i'll receive my new battery.
I suggest you to run the diagnostic tool test and if you get a decrease from 100 to less than 75, they should repair it under warranty, if not, suggest you to replace the battery yourself or pay somebody to do it for you.

I already ordered the battery and will do the replacement myself if the wait times are similar to those of screen replacements. Plus everything points to a bad battery so another test with official app is pointless. Sounds like we both will be doing the swap ourselves.
So I put new battery in and the drain seems slower than before and the charging is not erratic (jumping). When I was removing back cover the black layer came off so I figured it'd be good time to try clear cover mod . I like the look but unsure if anything will interfere with the radios and such due to the missing protection.
