[Q] Strange battery drain - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just now I realize my phone experienced an unusual battery drain (AGAIN). This doesn't happened all the time and this mostly happens after I use my phone, then after that when I check my phone and it's dead. Anyone knows Whats wrong with this? Have no keep awake sign though. This is just very unusual.

Funny enough I woke up this morning and my phone was completely dead. Left it at 40% last night when I went to bed. Should've been mid to low 30s this morning but nope. I think Google Play services was the culprit.

[Q] Phone discharging while it is turned off??

Since I updated to 8107 I have the strange issue that my Omnia 7 discharges while it is turned off.
Before I go to sleep I always turn it off, yesterday for example it was at 46%. When I turned it on in the morning, it had activated the battery saver and was at 15%. Does anyone else have this issue or does anyone know what causes this? It seems as if it doesn't properly shutdown or something. :/
Well I have experienced something like this on my HTC HD7.
It has to do with the battery that hasnt calibrated itself properly as far as I could see..
This was not over a full night so I can't say that but I had it that if I put the phone of the charger (100%), rebooted and then it showed at only 92%.
This topic tells you a bit more
What you get is a huge drop in battery so I'm not entirely sure if it's the same thing but I have noticed something similar to what you're explaining so it sounds to me as if your phone isnt calibrated properly anymore.

[Q] Serious battery drain overnight?

Hey guys, I thought I was getting decent battery life until I noticed that if I charge my phone and leave it unplugged overnight, I get severe battery drain.
Last night, for instance, I went to sleep at 12am with 97% battery and woke up at 8:30am with 65%. I had WiFi on overnight because I figured LTE drained more, but my battery use screen is showing that WiFi was cut off shortly after I went to sleep. However I also have noticed other times that I lose 15-20% overnight with data completely off.
I don't think it is a rogue app or anything because I am using the same ~30 apps I have always used and I have never had a problem with any of them. I am coming off a fresh install of CleanROM 2.2, but I have noticed this issue with every build I've used since getting my HOX.
I also noticed that its saying my display is taking up nearly 50% of my battery so far on this cycle, when its only been on for a total of 30 minutes and its been off the entire night.
Are there any apps that will help me figure out what's causing the drain?
Better battery stats check xda it's free and look at partial wakelocks

Want to see bad overnight drainage?
I woke up to a dead phone and this...
Try this:
Charge to 100%
Boot to Recovery
Wipe Data
Delete Battery Stats
Reinstall CleanROM (I'd suggest upgrading to 3.0)
Restart
Run Battery down without shutting off
Recharge
After you recharge, it should be fine. If not, return to stock and try to get it exchanged because it is defective. Just hope the people at AT&T don't check the bootloader, and you should be good.
overnight battery drain and warm.
I've been experiencing the same issue.
Two nights ago I went to sleep with around 73% and woke up with 71% and last night, I went to sleep with full charge, wifi and data off, and woke up to 77%.
Is your device also exceedingly warm?
I've also noticed a few times that it will give an inaccurate charge percentage, until a restart sometimes. So for example, it will read 65% and after a restart, it will read 95%.
I saw a post somewhere about htc smartsync causing some issues. Maybe it could be the cause of this drain? Apparently it shuts off wifi and data between 1 and 7am and only turns them back on to sync at certain intervals. Also it's buggy as hell so it just f's everything up. I'll post the link to the relevant thread once I find it.

SERIOUS Battery Drain

i know there are a lot of other threads out there, but I haven't found one that talked about the problem deeper and has a fix. anyways, I'm experiencing a serious battery drain where I charge my phone up to 100, unplug it in the morning, go to school and leave it in my pocket for 2 hours, and it ends up being 70-80% and the screen on time isn't even on the battery stats because I've barely used my phone to have it show up. As im typing this on my phone, ive even lost 2%. Is anyone experiencing something similar and is there a fix for this? At 33% now, according to the battery usage, cell standby is at the top of the list with 10% and screen on time is 25 minutes . Thanks so much
Please post some screenshots of battery stats and someone may be able to help

My phone is the same way. Even with the latest update that made cell standby way better where it sits at 1-3% my phone drains like crazy. It's been off the charger for 3 hours and 1 hour of screen on time and it's at 57%. They need a bigger battery in the s7.
Check to see if you have a VPN app installed, Firefox, Candy Crush (or other King app), or a weather app. Many use mdnsd that eats power. King apps send data all the time. And there may be some adware that you have that is eating power. Hope this helps...

Battery Drain
I have had the same problem. With the earlier update I had the issue with (what I consider) excessive drain caused by cell phone standby. With the latest update cell phone standby has taken a back seat to Android System. Here is a screenshot from today. As you can see Android System has more than twice the percentage of anything else. I reset the phone a couple of days ago but that had absolutely no effect. Went to a local Verizon store to complain which naturally went nowhere.

I did a factory reset in recovery wiped cache twice and rebooted I have had much better battery. 20-30% higher when I leave work. I also kept WiFi calling turned off not sure if that was the drainer.

battery drain during charging over night, high temp

Hi there.
I am posting this because I have absolutely no idea what happened to my phone last night.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos before going to sleep. I restarted my phone before I plugged it in - no particular reason, kinda happened by accident. I plugged it in after the phone booted up tho.
For some reason the CPU was working hard all night. It looks like the phone stopped charging once it reached 45 degrees Celsius (or is that a coincidence?). At some point it started charging again, and stopped at around 86%. Why? I am so confused. I really hope a night of battery temperatures between 40 and 50(!) degrees didn't kill my battery life in general now.
I just want to understand what happened lol. Btw couldn't find a process/app that had any significant Stay Awake time! (maybe it reset?)
Cheers
PS I'm on 930W8, PG1, no root or nothing like that, stock rom
Edit: it is also weird that the graphs show WiFi to be active all night. I have it set so that the phone sleeps WiFi when not in use, to save battery in standby. Well I guess it was not in standby lol

Battery calibration error?

As of maybe a couple of months, my phone shuts off almost immediately after getting to 20% it turns off and when plugged starts charging from 16% or so. Any idea what may be causing this and how to fix it?
I have the same issue mate. It happened twice for me. Was using Snapchat and the battery drained down to 19% and then it suddenly showed 0% and the phone shut down. And then after I charged it for a bit, it showed around 20%
I have same problem here, guess factory reset might helps.
Same issue on my friend's Honor 8.
Mine turns off at random percentages. Sometimes it happens at 20%, 10% and most recently 67%. I'm wondering if changing the battery would fix the issue
same issue here disappeared for like 2 months and it happened today
This suddenly happened to me today, I was using Snapchat and I took a pic, was writing a caption to send to my friends and all of a sudden it dropped to 0% and shut off, even though it was already at low battery I know It still had enough life for me to be able to send the snap and listen to music. What sucks is that I didn't look at the battery percentage before It turned off but when I turned it back on it was at 13%, even though when I tried turning it on from before it kept telling me 0% and shutting off repeatedly
i noticed that when i plugged in the charger and checked the recents all the apps opened were showing up.....looks like its doing soft reboot but cant complete the reboot......smh!!!
Same problem here

Rooted stock
I realize that it happens when it's really cold outside. It happened to me a second time today when I was outside in the cold, so I guess the phone turns off to prevent anything from happening internally, because it shut off at around 50% of battery and when I turned it back on it wasn't 0% like it had told me
I'm switching out the battery today I'll let you guys know if it fixes the issue
No root till now fully stock.
Well replacing the battery fixed the issue. I also deleted battery stats once it was charged to 100%
Same issue here. My device goes from 20% to 1% in about 2 seconds. And then when i charge the phone, it shows charging from 19%. It happens all the time.
Hi, had same but my first time died when I was flying drone with it, it was at 17% of bat. I was so nervous that I lose my drone that I forgot to check what was the problem with bat. Now when I was trying to film my daughter skiing after 2min outside of my pocket it turned off although bat. was at 78% and tem. outside was -3*C. Yesterday I've send it on warranty, I let you know what they say (if anything). Mine H8 is stock no root.
Wander is there any app than can check number of cycles of battery, this way I will know for sure if Service replaced battery or only told that it was replaced

Did you guys need root to delete the battery stats?

Did the service center fix the issue?
Yes, they replaced battery, screen and frame, actually they only left old back panel and MB. Screen was replaced because of dead pixels (but I didn't saw any before). After a year, I think I have same issue with battery again but this time no warranty anymore ;(
