Hi, I decided to post this in a new thread because it's a different behavior from others I've seen in this forum. If the admin says I shouldn't, I can delete it and post it on other thread!

My nexus 5 had a custom ROM, unrooted, simple apps (facebook, twitter, etc) and original screen and battery.
After crashing the screen, I bought a new one plus a new battery. Immediately after connecting the new screen plug and the new battery plug, the flat cable started to overheat, and the screen never turned on - ok, something is bogus. I tried again with the old battery and had the same problem. So, the screen must be no good, I just reinstalled the other broken one that still works.
However, since then, the cellphone always is turned on with 100% battery even knowing that it is not fully charged. And, a little while after, it starts to drain, 1% per second, even when I'm charging it, untill it turns off, or - sometimes - get back to 100%.
While on bootloader, it never turn itself off, thou. But if I turn it on, sometimes this happens, sometimes the cell only works untill the lockscreen and immediately turns itself off - even while charging or hours after charging. (pls check the youtube videos)
What i have tried:
Change the charger and cable
Use original charger
Switch back to the old battery (same problem)
Reinstall ROM
Reinstall Original ROM from google
Wipe batterystats.bin (I know, I know, just in case)
Install battery calibration apps
Root and install battery calibration apps
Charge to 100%, let it drain to 20% and recharge (thou it constantly drops)
Charge all night
Wait to drain a lot and charge again
Wait to drain a bit and charge again...
And nothing worked.
I saw no similar issue on this forum, even on the "battery drain while charging" posts, they're not exactly the same issue.
So... is it possible that crappy screen broke my both batteries? Anyone know what else could I try?

Hey, did u ever figure out the reason ? I'm having a similar issue.. maybe we can work together n figure smthn out
sorry bro, I just gave up. It was too much to pay for another screen or new parts; I never discovered what the real problem was =(

Figured out the problem and fixed it. Posting it here in case someone has this issue, so after trying everything from getting a new battery to installing different roms, installing various apps rooted and not to see what's draining my battery. Funny how the phone was never going into deep sleep. Anyway long story short the problem was hardware, I changed the flex cable, the whole strip, some may call it the charging strip. Now it's fixed charges to 100% in 2 hours and battery lasts all day.

Okay, so each time I reboot my phone, my battery capacity increases dramatically! At one point, I got the notice to put the phone on the charger, and after a reboot, I was back to some 25%? Just now I was at 40%, a reboot now brings it to 56%!
What exactly is up? I charged my phone till it said 100%, then used an app called battery calibration to remove the battery stats file, and then let the phone drain till it shut off. (I couldnt reboot it). I put it on the charger, and let it charge back to 100%. I am confused?!?! This is, by the way, a chichitec 1900mA/Hr battery which has lasted me about 16 hours so far today with pretty moderate use! LOTS of web surfing, internet, and about an hour of phone calls. Its at 50% (or whatever it really is). I know its a great battery, but I hate thinking there is such an oddity about it.
Should I charge back to 100%, then wipe that stats, this time with CWM?

this is exactly what i was talking to you about yesterday in my "charging times" thread.. seems lots of people are having this issue...is your phone brand new? could just not be calibrated yet

New battery, new ROM, it takes a couple of charging cycling for these things to get working properly....give it time after the initial calibration.
and its not a problem that the phone won't switch om after discharge, it just shows that your battery was completely empty....plug in charger and wait for LED to light!
Quick question,
Is the Battery Calibration (CWM wipe at 100%) a phone, battery or ROM calibration ? I know you need to go through a few cycles after calibrating.
I have done it and since changed ROMs a few times so just wondered. Phone is only a week old so far.
Hi everyone
My problem is.. my DS started to charge slowly.
Now it doesn't really charge slowly, If I check the voltage, I will get like 4220mv but as soon as it reaches that, the charging graph just goes flat.
If say I have charged it to 70% and it started going slow. i switch it off, place on the charger, and the lamp goes green. I turn it on, and it is showing 100%.
I have tried calibrations, diffirent kernels, wiping, factory resets e.t.c.
Another thing is that if I will run a v6 battery calibrator,it will show that actually I should have a 100% charge although a phone is showing only 70%.
So the summary: Phone charges normally when off (when recovery monitors charging), showing the correct voltage when on... But showing the wrong percentage if on charge.
Also sometimes if the battery is like 14% left. And I turn the phone off and then on again, it will show 22% bearing the same voltage as when it was 14%.
Question: Is there any way to tweak the battery indicator so it would show % values same as the v6 calibrator does it or is it a hardware fault, if yes, which part of it ?
This happens to me on my older (original) battery, but not my new one. I bought the second battery when this problem started happening. So, I think it's just a symptom of an old battery.
By the way, if you leave it on charge long enough, it will eventually jump up to 100%.
Other than this weird behaviour, it has no real impact on anything.

Thought so, mines been acting similarly lately, but strangely enough it seems to be getting better
I think I found out..
I actually purchased a new battery recently, because my old one was jumping like crazy and started discharging in a few hours..
This new battery I bought from a mobile repair shop.
It is a cheap chinese battery with no name, anyhow I just took it out to take a look at it...
And guess what, it sais 1200mah..
Can the phone be confused because of that ?
Hi all i recently bought a htc sensationand it was on a custom rom cm10 its rooted and all that good stuff but now theres just one problem! the phone takes forever to charge!or if i reboot it it will say charged. also when im out and about and listening to music or whatever the phone drains the battery so fast. all i want to know if its a problem with the phone itself or can i fix this myself
mostly i want to fix the battery draining so quickly.HELP PLEASE!
I think the issue is with your battery..
Your battery need to be replaced..

First off, I agree with Anumunir. Replace the battery. It's a used phone. The slow charging is an indicator that the battery is old and worn out. Good batteries are cheap (Search for Anker on Amazon or eBay and that's what you want)
However, the issue with the phone jumping to 100% is adding to your problems. That's kind of normal....but it can be minimized. The problem this creates is that the phone thinks it's at 100% so it shuts off the power circuit to the battery so it stops charging. But it's not at 100%. It's at like 70%. So after you unplug, it quickly starts dropping to what the actual charge is. So it looks like it's draining fast.
Here's how you minimize this...
Frist, get the new battery..because why not?
Second, drain the battery until the phone shuts off. Restart it, plug it in, and let it charge all the way. Don't reboot. Don't mess with it. Just let it charge. When it gets to 100%, keep letting it charge more for another hour.
Third, use the phone until it drains all the way down and shuts off again. Play videos or a graphically intensve game if you need to in order to burn the battery down. Don't reboot it until you use up the battery.
Fourt, plug it in and recharge it all the way back up again. Now it should be smoothed out a bit so you don't get those big battery jumps on reboot.
Don't bother with 'battery calibration' apps or wiping battery stats that someone will repond to you thread with. They don't do anything. It's an urban myth.

Ey mate, I have the same problem. My battery is fully charged after ten hours or more. I cant afford to buy a new one, so, what did you do with yours¿?
Hi. I searched for an answer to this weird problem but couldn't seem to find a similar issue. So here it goes.
When my phone is off and I plug it to recharge the battery, after a due amount of time (or even the whole night) the indicator shows a full green battery and states 100%: fine. But ... as soon as I turn the phone on, the percentage indicator in the top right every time shows a figure between 82-84%. So I need to plug the charger back on again (this time while the phone is on) and after a while I get the 100% on the indicator.
This has happened since I bought the device and with both my (new) batteries. Pointless to say, I did try to reset the battery stats a number of times to correct the issue. No joy.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Any clue on how to fix this discrepancy? Granted it's not a big deal, but still a little annoying.
Thanks
Mike

What might be happening is that your device uses a lot of power in order to boot up. 16% of battery life seems a bit strange though.
The other thing that might occur is that the threshold for the green light to be lit is at about 84-86% (meaning: if the battery is more than 84% or something charged, show the green light).
What I suggest doing is just leave your phone on all the time and perhaps reboot it only when necessary.
As far as I know, there aren't really any solutions, but maybe you should try contacting support from the manufacturer of your device. Perhaps they know more about the subject.
Thanks exenia121,
It's definitely a weird thing. And i was more curious to know if I was the only one to report this. There must be probably a strange surge on boot up. In fact after the recharge of the phone (while being on) was completed (100%) I turned it off. But when I powered it after a couple of hours I was back at 84%. Hmmm ....
My Moto Maxx is never going below 15% battery for quite some time.
I was running CM 12.1 before and I am running the CM 13.0 preview now.
The problem now seems much worse.
This could be my battery dying?
Wait its not going below 15% or above 15%? Also, did you flash the ROM with a clean wipe (no dirty flash)?
Another thing to note is that the CM 13.0 Build is a "PREVIEW" which means that there are a TON of bugs in there. I would advise you go back to CM 12.1 for the time being.
It is never going below 15%.
On CM12.1 it also happened.
When it reaches 15% percent, the phone shuts down and needs to be charged.
After sometime charging, it displays the battery as above 15% and I can turn it on again.
Mine had always done that at 5 percent. Here lately it's closer to 7 percent.
I'm on original 5.0.2 and also facing that issue... I've heard onde it's related to the use of non original chargers, or even QI chargers... Never got rid of it, even after a full wipe/factory reset...
I've had this problem too and made a post over in the Droid Turbo forums but no one ever replied..
At least I'm not the only one that has this problem.
Yeah I've always had this issue between 5-8% on my three Turbos. Stock Rom and other flavors. They all shut the phone down around there.
Solved the problem with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newagetools.batdoc&hl=pt_BR
Now my battery goes down to 1% again, yahoo!!!!
how can that app fix it?? i would think its a placebo effect as i see dificult for an app to read or fix battery info...
maybe it locks out the bad parts (like an old chkdsk on a HD)
anyway i will tryit if i see it tries to go rogue with the Ads it Dies..
Batteries in laptops and phones have a file that keeps track of battery life. They use this to estimate percentage.

still having this issue
I have the same problem. It started as shutting down at %5, then %7, now it's %15 shuts down.
The same thing on my XT1254. It shuts down near 5%, I will try to charge it with my old i9505 charger, it could be a problem related to TurboCharger.
Hello guys,
My girlfriend's phone had this issue some months ago, what I did in order to fix this issue was:
1) Let the battery drain until phone shutdown. (try to turn on again until you cannot)
2) Fully charge with an original Motorola charger (phone turned off)
3) When it reached 100%, turn on the phone but enter in the fastboot mode and wipe caches
4) Uses the phone normally and let reaches 0%.
Making these steps, the battery back to have a "normal" behaviour

I´ll perform these steps, thank you
Although you see the battery as percentage, the operating system does not see it that way. It uses lower limit voltage of the battery to shut down the device in order to extend battery life. Batteries do not like to get and stay deep discharged (below low level voltage)...if you do this frequently, you will severely hamper your battery's life.
