I have a huge problem with my HTC one mini. I can have my phone full charged and when I take it off, and run something that uses a lot of power, it dies, at 95%. I can immediately turn it back on and it reports 60% or even 1%. It is acting up, and it happens on stock and custom rom as well. Any ideas?
HTC one mini
Android 4.4.2
S off
Unlocked bootloader
Let me know if you need more info to fix the problem
Thanks:good:
Hey there. I'm new here.
I had the same issue, and from what i've been able to figure out the battery is dead... Well dying.
Mine totally died a few days ago and i can't even charge it anymore. Charging led not turning on, let it charge 24 hours, still nothing.
I've seen a lot of "fixes" where you reset a lot of stuff and so on, but nothing has worked. And since it's completely dead now well i guess it can only be the battery.
The phone is pretty easy to disassemble and change the battery, in my opinion, if you have the right tools of course
I think you can get a new battery for around 30$
Hope it helps
Ps: mine did it with stock rom, and custom rom, old ones and new ones. Started a few months ago dying at 60% and lately it turned off with 85% battery left.

Hi All,
Got this funny problem since I have flashed TNT WM6.1.
My mobile battery shows some funny traits.
1. It can suddenly go off (even if the bar is at 87% or 63% or 30% or anything of that sort)
2. Once it goes off, it gets into a loopback of restarting the device, goes upto the screen where WM6.1 logo appears and restarts again.
3. The only way I can then get it restarted is to get it to plug to a powersource.
4. When I plugin it shows within 5 min that the battery is fully charged.
5. I use audio manager a lot and its like every 30 seconds 1% of battery is gone.
Have search through the forum but haven't found anything like this.
Anyone has face a similar problem and found any solution?
Any help will be much appreciated.
I am on SPL/IPL 3.08.
Time for a new battery....
I ran across the same problem. It turned out that the terminals on the battery were seriously worn down so much that the battery couldn't hold a charge to safe it's life let alone mine!!!! I went to a battery store and replaced the muthaf^$#a!!!!!
Go grab a new battery and you'll be electric sliding again in no time!!!!
Thanks Trej3k. Much appreciate your response.
Yeah
Had the same issue.
Replaced the battery ... and now everything is fine.
Now I don't expect 5 days without recharge but at least 2 days.
Along with the new battery I bought an battery charger so now I can use two batteries.
The nice thing is that the old battery is lasting at least as the new one, Maybe because of the charging more regularly and not so frequently and because both batteries never go in usage when they are hot of charge.
Try your thing

I had the same problem pretty soon after I flashed my ROM for the first time. I would charge to 100% and then browse the Internet or take a call, and the device would reset within a couple of minutes b/c it would think it was out of power. The timing may have been a coincidence; I don't know. I bought an extended battery and everything works fine now.

I had the exact same problem right after flashing to wm6. I really wonder if it's a coincidence.
I ordered a new battery today because I have exactly the same problem. I also apeared after flashing WM6.1 a while ago an became worse with time. Since my battery is 3 years old, it could also just be a battery at its end of life...

I've got a att fuze that was working perfectly then all of a suddern (after giving my girlfriend crap about her iphone battery lasting crap all time) my phone just started to heat up and the battery drains in 10 minutes.
i will only chargte to about 60% overnight and not turned on....
then it will lose 15% on a reset and today it dropped from 45% to 4% in 2 minutes.....
when it is on it heats up near the camera lens.
Is there something stuffed on the phone or is it the battery?
it was working perfect then all of a sudden 2 days ago it just started doing this.
ive tried new roms and radios and it still does it ive taken the sd card and sim out turned it onto airplane mode and it still does it.
just wondering if its the battery or the phone and if anyone else has had this problem.
i got the phone off ebay (in perfect condition worked like a dream till this) and it has no warranty.
Thanks in advance.

After putting on usb for 4 hours to get it over 50% and flashed the new ATT rom onto it and then it seemed to be fine. then put energy 6.5 on.
The night before I was impatient and flashed it by forcing boot loader (so it didnt have to be over 50% charge, it was on 24% i think) and running the flash program. next day once it got to 92% it started.
I would of checked that battery but these phones are very uncommon here and everyone i know has an iphone....
so word of warning MAKE SURE IT HAS 50% CHARGE BEFORE FLASHING!!!!
this easiest way to see if it's the battery or something in the phone that's causing the issue is to try another battery or different phone with your existing battery. that would be my first step in troubleshooting.

Try changing your radio ROM to a different one. When the radio is constantly searching betweem 3G and EDGE it heats up and will stop charging.
Make sure you Security Unlock your device first and follow instructions from the Wiki.
Ok I have searched and not found anything like this yet so I am going to ask. I know the phone has battery problems all around for a lot of people. Mine seems to be fine when it is on. It can sit and idle powered on all day locked and stay at full charge. It runs about 10 hours with minimal use and maybe 8 hours with some data use and a few calls and texts. Now I am experiencing a wired problem. When I go to work we cannot have cell phones. I leave my phone in my locker and power it off. After my 12 hour shift is up at work I come back to the phone with a dead battery? What could be causing this? And has anyone else noticed this issue?
defective battery? pull the battery and see if it still does it. If it does, gotta be a defective battery.. if it doesn't do it when pulled, you're not shutting off the phone maybe?
Yesterday I tried leaving the battery out. I took the battery out and let it sit 12 hours and it still had full charge when I put it back in. When I go to work I long press on the power/lock button and choose Power off then I watch it shut down and it just dies before I come back. I wish I could watch it the whole time. Today I left the phone off for around 6 hours and came back and it was fine though. Maybe it gets turned on some how at work. I have no idea. Or when I go to power it on it is just the issue where the phone isn't reading battery % correctly and it just says 0%
Seems like a battery driver issue or a defective battery? definitely call t-mobile and check if it's the battery. I've had some issues as well, but not that bad.
Weird.
So the phone powers off after you turn the screen on and it won't come back on? Try putting the phone in airplane mode.
Also, I'm assuming you are running the stock roms?
Might also want to check into a battery monitor to see if any 1 thing is pulling it down.
I think it might just be the battery driver. Sounds like the phone is in suspend so it doesn't power off properly until the screen is turned on and is revived, updating the battery % status, seeing 0%, and turning off.
CM7 fixed the wonky battery issue a few nights ago. Right now, I think a current CM based rom is the best bet as it has most of the drivers fixed. I'ved used mine pretty heavily today, unplugged at 8am and I just got a 15% battery warning at 11:30pm. It will usually last until I go to bed at midnight but I might want to play with it some more.
Hey all,
I am currently running CM9 (bhundven's 7-29 herring build) on my Galaxy S 4G, and I am having some problems with random shutdown. This has only been happening for the past few days or so (EDIT: and I have been running CM9 for about three months with no issues). It seems that the phone works perfectly fine until the charge gets to about 60% starting from a full charge, and then the phone randomly shuts off. The phone will not start back up unless I have it plugged into the wall, and the results are a little unpredictable. The first time it happened, I turned it back on and it said the battery was at 1% and charging. Now, after clearing the battery stats, it reboots to 60% battery. It seems to work perfectly fine after that, and yesterday it went all the way down to about 12% before I started charging it again. It just happened again today, and when I turned it back on it said it was at about 60%.
My charging habits are pretty bad for Li-Ion batteries; I tend to let the charge drop all the way to about 10% or 5% before I plug it in and charge it all night, way past what is necessary to get to 100%.
The battery does look a tad swollen, but I might be exaggerating.
I just wanted to know if this is a bad battery with 100% certainty, or could it be a problem with the OS or internal parts, etc. I can easily buy another battery online, and I probably will.
EDIT: Also, I have had some overheating issues with this phone, and I can often smell electrical smoke in the charger port area behind the speaker, which is why I say it might be an internal parts issue.
Thanks everyone,

You need a new battery. I was having the same issue lime 3 months ago; phone was dying at half charge the when it rebooted, battery would be dead. Then when I plugged it in, it would charge in 20 minutes and the repeat the cycle. Put the battery on a table to see if its still flat. If it rocks or spins excessively, its usually an indicator of a bad cell.
Mine JUST started doing the exact same thing last week. Battery is definitely swollen. I replaced it just this evening and I'm in the process of doing a full charge from 0->100 to see how things go. I'm 99.999% sure the battery was dead. Replace yours.
Sorry for the thread necro, but I wanted to thank the OP for asking this question and to the helpful replies. We just had a heat wave here and maybe coincidentally to that, I've been having random shutdown problems. Having looked at this thread and my battery, I can tell that I definitely need to replace that. So thanks, all!
Im having terrible problems with my battery on this phone. My screen cracked so i replaced it, after replacing it i noticed that it would only charge upto 94% which i didnt mind as i was happy the phone was working again. I then flashed xbsall's ICS port, after 30 mins of use the battery dropped to 0%. Thats when i started getting the 0% battery problem, i charge it but doesnt move past 0%. Ive gone back to gingerbread but still the same problem. I can get the phone to work if i leave it off for a while or if i give it a knock but thats not guaranteed to make it turn on all the time. Ive flashed the paranoid android rom now but the battery goes to 0% more often on this rom. Is there anything i can do?
