What's the deal with my battery?

So often, before I go to bed, I would charge up the phone completely and turn it off. 8 hours later, I turn it on, and the battery is at 70~80 ish.
Yesterday however, I just put the phone on airplane mode without turning it off, thinking it might make a difference. I woke up and the battery was 99%.
WTF?

Because when you turn on airplane mode, you turn off radio, wifi, etc about signal and data. It is about 50-70% power consumption. Consequently, when data is cut off, apps that needs to update via data, either wifi or mobile, won't update. That is another less stress on the battery. So on and so forth.

Well that's weird cause I put my phone on sleep last night without airplane mode and with 3g on, and it went from 90% to 87% by 7am. Maybe it has to do with low signal? I know when I have low signal my battery drops SUPER fast.

You totally failed to understand my problem. I'm saying airplane mode with phone ON consumes LESS battery than turning the phone completely OFF

I completely misunderstood your problem. Hmmm, in THAT case only thing I can think of is the phone not being shutdown properly. Aka the phone got stuck in a low level state with the screen off/unresponsive but maybe the phone was still processing network information. Then when you turned it on, you shut it off and turned it back on without really noticing.
That, or the FBI has been tracking you in the night.
We still didn't answer his question! Its weird that the battery is getting drained with the phone completely off.

How about telling us also what rom/kernel you are using?

I had an issue with my phone charging, it would take about 18 hours to charge the battery completely. Turned out the cord had gotten screwed up somehow. Also if you're using a USB extention cable, if you use more than one it will do something similar.
Charge your phone, turn it off, remove the battery and check if it still looses power.. so we will know if it s a battery problem or phone drainage problem
1. rom/kernel: cm 7.1.0.1, default cm7 kernel
2. update: second night with this Rom, and when i turned it off and on again 8 hrs later, it was 91%. Not bad.
3. I have charged full> powered down> removed battery> 8hrs later> insert battery & power ON, battery is full.
4. Computer USB charging takes probably over twice as long compared to using the outlet adapter.
I understand that phone goes into a low power state when it is turned "OFF", but really, what gives?

I have a feeling that the phone is not shutting off all the way. How about trying to shut down your phone, pull the battery, reinsert it, but DON'T turn your phone on and don't touch the power button at all, just reinsert it. Wait 8 hours, check it then.

Phone is very hot even when turned off

My HTC Sensation when turned off for a few hours it became very hot, I was stunned by that as I didn't know my cpu is still running when my phone is switched off. Anyone know the problems?
That's unusual. I'm not sure but if you shut it down, I think it actually goes into a sleep mode. It sounds like yours isn't sleeping properly. Have you tried pulling the battery, restart and then try shut down again?
Are you using the standard battery?
did you make sure your gps is off?, i left mine on for an hour and my phone was scorching!

I have totally turned off the phone, pulled my battery out for about 5 mins, and put in back and let it rest for a few hours and when i touch my phone, it was quite hot even though i haven't turn my phone on.
I'm using the XE stock Battery [1730mah]

Yes, I turned off my GPS
The weather of the city you are living is too hot? if not,it's a serious problem of your phone.

So that's what that bright light was last night that woke me up. My gear1 never did that lol.
i haven't noticed mine doing that. i put it to charge at night, the display turns on, then off and in the morning the display is still off....

It only comes on for a few seconds when it hits 100% charge and then turns off again.
oh, ok... so the screen turns on for a couple seconds then turns off....
whats the problem then?
maybe just put your watch face down on a little towel

sleep of death or sth else?

Hi there,
so apparently my phone battery died today when my phone fell under my car seats.
tried to charge it at work but only had a charger <1A, thought that was too less because it wouldn't move from the 1% screen.
at some point i noticed it wasn't really charging no matter the charger.. tried some tricks from this and other forums. right now it will display the 1% screen when plugged in but the LED is not lit. i can power it up but ofc with a low batt like that it will vibrate briefly and shut off after like 10-15 secs.
pressing vol+ and power button leads to vibrating 3 times and seemingly soft reset, i can plug it in after that and the LED is lit red for charging, but will stop after like 15-30 minutes (1.5A charger) and display 1% screen again.
yellow switch, do i hold that one down 5-10sec with or without any charger plugged in?
as said, without pressing anything after soft reset now i can briefly press power and the screen shows it's "stuck" at the 1% screen, after being plugged in for like half an hour, after the first 15 mins the red LED went out. i'll leave it like this over night but don't have much hope, think it aint charging without the red LED lit?
any input on how i can reboot this thing properly without loosing any data on my phone is greatly appreciated!
oh and i also read the battery cable/contacts inside can be disconnected.. as said the phone fell down in the car, could that be a problem with the symptoms i'm seeing as well?
quick update, let it plugged over night and in the morning it was still showing 1% and no LED.
unplugged it and pushed yellow button for 15 secs, with no reaction. let it sit some minutes and plugged it again, red LED for some secs, then 1% screen and no LED again.
came back after an hour and it shows 30% charge and boots up!
however, no charging LED whatsoever and once booted, it doesn't charge any more (no charging icon anyways).
turned the phone off again and will try to charge it that way..
still seems strange whatever is going on here.
any input?
I hope someone who knows more about this issue comes by to help you! All I think of to ask is if your phone is maybe only charging when the display is on? I have a GPD XD that won't charge if the display is off, it can be plugged in for hours and the battery won't increase. Found that out with a charger that lights up... so I have set it to daydream when charging and it charges that way. I don't know if this will help you at all, if maybe your device is sleeping a little TOO deep :laugh:

Phone shuts off at 1-5% as soon as I connect it to charger and similar issues

As the title states, that happens sometimes. My phone reaches 5% because i couldn't charge it for whatever reason and i rush to connect it like tonight and as soon as I plugged it in it shut down and showed 1%. Is the battery slowly dying or at least low few %? Sometimes that doesn't happen, sometimes it shuts off even without connecting to charger while really low.
It's not a habit of mine to let it go down that low but sometimes it happens and it worried me.

You need to replace the battery. No other solution for this kind of problem

In time then, now it happens rarely enough but when it starts shutting off at higher % I'll do it.
Just weird that it shuts off when I connect it to charger and the remaining % disappear
It is weird but don't replace your battery yet. Wait for it to die completely because if you'll replace your battery now you will lose water resistance.
Aw man, didn't know about that. Today when I got home it was at 9% and as I connected it it dropped to 4% so it seems I've lost 5% somewhere
