Think you're a genius? Htc one xl battery drainage even when switched off - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi, my HTC. One xl suddenly started draining juice, it didn't suffer any mechanical damage neither am I on a custom Rom. My HTC is unrooted and running 4.2.2.
Aside battery drainage (switched on or off) it also overheats and finally, it dosent charge when battery drains to zero(amazingly when battery drains to zero nd is not charged within 10-15minutes it won't charge again. I mean after a few minutes from shut down due to low battery it does not charge again). However after battery dies I have to take the battery out and boost the battery, plugged it back in the phone before it charges.
Thanks in advance as you try to solve this unique case.

Battery Calibration & Charging

Ok just got my Nexus S from Rogers yesterday!
i started off with flashing CMW, then rooting! then putting on Infin1ty rom!
I charged my battery last night to 95%, (probably overcharged a bit cause i fell asleep), i woke up at 7ish am and started using it and now its 9:50 and the battery has drained to 57%. I was using it pretty heavy and this is off of the 1st charge, that is normal right?
Questions:
1 - Does the evo battery calibration trick work with the Nexus S? Charge fully, kill battery, charge fully, kill battery, then charge again and it is calibrated?
2- What is better? Power off and charge when less than 15%? or just multiple minimal charges in increments? such as charging anytime i feel like it? haha
thanks for the help.

If your starting with a fresh install and a fresh batterystats file(like you are). Using the process you describe above for your Evo will work for calibrating the NS. As for your second question. While in the calibrating process of a battery, I always run the phone until it turns it self off, that way the actual 0% voltage is calculated, followed by an off mode charge on A/C charge for 8-12 hours. By charging while off you are allowing the phones hardware charging circuit to determine a full charge rather then the os battery driver(which is uncalibrated on new install).

Is the battery driver uncalibrated just because he rooted and installed cm7? What if he had left it stock, would it still need to be calibrated? Do you know what I mean?

[Q] Battery charging issue - need help

I've been using my Hyperion 7000mah battery without any issues for the last 6 months. The other day, I decided to run the battery down. I ran it to 17% and then recharged it. The next morning, when I woke up, the battery was only 40% charged. I left the phone on the charger the entire day and it only got up to 85%. For some reason, the battery just won't take or hold a charge now. I'v tried turning on and off fast charge, I've tried wiping battery stats, I've also tried several roms and kernels, but nothing seems to affect the battery charging rate. Does anyone know what could've caused this to happen and more importantly, how to fix it? I'm really frustrated that I'm back on the stock battery and that I have a $30 paper weight.

[Q] Moto G battery life question...

Hi,
So I recently bought the Moto G, so far I am liking... Just a question about battery life. I'm wondering if I am getting normal battery life, or is my phone defective.
I got over 5h of on screen time and over 7h of battery life from a full charge. Also the screen seems to be eating up most of the battery even though I have it on auto brightness and most of the time it is very low brightness.
Maybe this is normal, but i have heard people getting over 2 days of battery life out of this thing!
Thanks..
One more thing, when I first got the phone I began charging it with this random charger I bought, and when I plugged the phone in it immediately shut down, but it was still charging, however I didnt let it charge and got a different charger because I was scared to damage the phone. The charger I was using had 5.2V on it but the charger I'm using now has 5V on it and it is charging fine without apparent hiccups.
(I did not try out the battery performance on jellybean as I updated to KitKat as soon as I bought the phone)

[Q] HTC One M8 battery drains while phone is off

I have a Verizon M8 and if I charge it to full while it is on or off, the battery will drain completely in a day or 2 while the phone is still off.
The battery drains rapidly while the phone is on as well. I know many will say it is a bad battery but how is the battery draining while the phone is off?
The Verizon M8 does not have the fast boot mode in the power settings so when the phone is off I am stumped as to how the battery is losing power.

Battery Issues

I have something that's causing my battery to drain during the night . Around 3 a.m. I checked my phone and I was at 30% battery, opened up my recent apps list and closed all. When I woke up at 6:30 this morning my battery was down to 8%.
At home I am connected to a network extender.
I'm coming from an LG g3 and never this issue. With this phone being a non removable battery I'm trying to only plug it up and charge it when it's about to die. Unlike my g3 that I plugged up every time I went to bed.
I always charge my battery every night no matter the percentage. The way batteries are made now they do not require conditioning and draining to extend battery life. I have noticed that my phones seems to do better charging when there is 50-40% . Letting the phone get down that low all the time actually reduces how efficient your battery will be over the life of the phone. Also I never use my phone when charging. If I need to do something with it I will unplug then replug when I want to charge. Making the battery work while charging heats it up and can damage the cells of the battery. As for your battery drain between those hours it appears to me the phone must be having issues with the network extender and is constantly searching for the nextwork, maybe the extender wasn't staying connected to the nextwork? All this is imo.
