I've recently started having this problem. I charged my wizard overnight, saw the battery was 100%, then as soon as i removed the charger, it drops to around 80%. If i follow this with a soft reset, it drops to 50%. During normal usage the drainage isn't so sudden, but it is still a lot faster than usual. For e.g. a 20 min video would drain 30% of the battery.
My extended rom is clear, I first installed the 2.26 tmob rom, then wrcx1, so I dont think that should be an issue. I've installed the power saving cabs as well. What else could be the problem? I'd really hate to have to switch to another rom just to sort this out...
Forgot to add, this is a recent problem. I used to get excellent battery life, this has just suddenly started happening. I haven't changed my charger or battery.
which BS are you using?
I was using the latest BS release (0263 i think) but have removed it from my today screen and still the problem is persisting...
Battery... that's what driving me crazy now! With WM5, I can use my device almost 2,5 days with lots call/sms and solitaire. Tried 3 WM6 version and couldnot save the O2 life last more than 3 hours (uncontinuosly). Please any one help to solve this.... (
Sounds like either your battery is screwed (they DO go bad after a year or two) OR you've got one seriously ****ed up ROM.
By the way, BatterySpace is known to do this if you use the dynamic overclocking. Somehow something in the ROM or Registry gets trashed, and then the system will peg the CPU at 100%.
This will WASTE the battery like nobody's business! Once this happens the only fix is a HARD RESET - I've not figured out what's getting scrambled, but whatever it is, a reboot doesn't fix it.
Shut off the dynamic overclocking if you're using it and see if the problem goes away.
I just had the same erratic behavior from my battery, it was over a year old. It would charge to 100%, but when off the charger strength would read random levels and drain really fast. I could kill the battery in about 30 minutes of browsing web pages.
A new battery solved it.

OK, thanks!
Now I'm thinking about downgrade to WM5 to check wherther battery died or not, before buy a new one.
I have the same issue on the g3 wizard connected thru tmobile us running the bd3 rom. I have had excellent battery life in the past but in the past 3 days or so the battery status is just inaccurate. The main prob is that when you go connect to the internet 5 min later the device restarts and sometimes it just keeps restarting in a loop. Then sometimes it restarts but battery is at critical, when before it was at 80%.
But i noticed when it gets stuck in the boot loop, just stick it on the charger for a sec and it will start back up fine, but then die after a couple phone calls or so.
I have also cleared the rom thinking it was some battery drain issue that usually happens when you don't flash the original rom before you flash a cooked one. I installed the tmobile original one and then flashed "boring rom for tmobile". That rom works quite well. But the battery is still draining.
I also changed the radio rom from the 2.69 and now went to the 02.25.11 but still the same issue.
I didn't try running straight wm5 and see if it did it their, but the previous poster is trying it so ill see if that worked for him or not.
The next step is to try a new battery but this battery is only like a year old
Believe me when I tell 'ya that Lithium Ion batteries, when they die, do so exactly like this.
Try a new battery.

mine is doing the same thing..
if i start any aplication that requests more procesing, the device keeps rebooting, even if the battery was indicating 100% when i started using it
if i plug the charger when he is rebooting, he comes back to life 80-100% charged..
if i do not use it, and leave him on stand by, the battery lasts for like 2 days without any issues.
Draining in Sudden Bursts! Sounds like it feels good.
well i guess i will just get a new battery and hope that solves the problem since I have tried everything besides just using regular wm5, and someone posted that this is what lithium ion batteries usually do, so I'll give it a shot and report my findings after christmas, lol I hope I get a mda battery for christmas
anyone bought a new battery?
did it worked?
i´m still waiting for mine to arrive
I bought a new battery, but i cant say yet whether its working or not. It seems to work fine at times, and gives the same problem at other times. Not sure what acould be wrong....
Are you using TNT5 ROM? I've flashed two days ago this ROM to give WM6 a second go and my battery vanished like smoke... the battery that used to last for about 4 days, was gone in only half a day :\ I'm back to my ROM!
I'm using TNT5 for a few months now. All of a sudden i had batteryproblems. Tried everything but solved the problem with a fresh battery. Only 9 dollars on Ebay....
And now the phone is running smoothly again (lasts about 2 days)...
still waiting for mines to come should come wednesday, its getting worst and worst i used to be able to use it for at least an hour now only for about 15 min off the charger, when it says its at a 100%
I'm having a different kind of problem, except for the burst that I get after taking off power or after a soft reset, my battery life is exceptional. My last charge lasted about 7 hrs (including ebooks, mp3s, sms, and some phone calls).
I flashed XDA Mobile 6 Release 5 RC1 with .NET CF 3.5! recharging full battery. After flashing It showed low battery warning and when i restarted it, it showed full battery. And one hour later it swiched off. Now i flashed another rom .No problem yet.
not dead black screen problem just battery issue usually in battery usage android os shows normally like this(image)
but sometimes it is 60 to 70 % and that battery drain too fast
is it a firmware issue ? or hardware ? my phone is 2 week old
this thing happen to me 2 time only
it happen to my phone at night on standby mode
and what all other aps( in the image) which is showing in battery usage it is all close(from task manager) but it shows it is using battery.
The battery usage being shown is the overall battery juice used by the apps listed since the phone is switched on.
Its basically shows the history of your battery usage and which app/system components have used how much % of your battery.
There's nothing wrong in that, its not a problem as you are assuming it to be and the apps shown there are not necessarily open.
ok thanks
i'll post in future if this problem come again
now android os usage is rising 40 + is it ok ?
Just enjoy the phone bro. Anyways u wont get more than 1~1.5 days ona a single charge except idealized conditions
I received my Galaxy this Thursday and didn't restart it at all until it drained itself yesterday in 14 hours.
After charing my phone to 100% and using it very very little during the day, it had drained itself completely after 14 hours. See the attached screen shots.
Android OS used 75% of my battery. It was completely useless.
Today after charging to 100% during the night it has been running fine. Currently at 68% after 9 hours with average use.
I've seen another thread about Android OS draining battery for SGS2, but I'm not sure there is a conclusion as to what processes causes it.
I suggest a restart if the battery starts draining too fast.
It's always like that with new smartphones. When I bought mine, battery time was just horrible - not even one day of ordinary usage. After few charging cycles (let's say after approx. 2 weeks) it got much much better. Now 2 days is not a problem at all.
Dont know how its works on custom roms/kernels but on stock 2.3.4 battery going down much faster with sd card on. If I put off sd card, battery life is extended. How no idea why.
lol i don't have any sd card yet but this problem occurs sometimes only
restarting works sometimes not every time i checked it
now what i found battery backup and drainage is ok in android phones wait for ICS 4.0.3(officially) lets see if they fix that battery bug. this thing should be solved in galaxy R.

Dude did you turn off Background auto sync ?
Your display usage is 2%, so it seems your phone was not used much by you. I feel you have turned on too many system background apps or something like that.
Do check that & update here if it solves the problem.

I had this problem on stock rom.
I googled around and it seems that Samsung OS has some bug where after switching the wifi off, it still keeps consuming CPU resources.
Try flashing a custom ROM.
I haven't had this problem since the day I shifted to InfectedROM+ardatdat's kernel.

I am running mokee open source 4.4.2 roms and am constantly having trouble with battery.
It shows vague levels...i charge it from 10% onwards...and it gradually goes to 60% or so and then suddenly jumps to 100% showing battery is full.
The recovery sometimes shows the original level as 60%..but rom shows 100%.
Then the rom discharges at 1% per 2 minutes or so and i just cant get any backup as in reality it never gets fully charged. :-/
I have tried callibrating it after numerous factory resets via various playstore battery callibration apps.
I have wiped the system everytime i have flashed a rom.
I have tried discharging it and then charging it while ita off.
I have tried bump charging.
Still it gives 7-8 hours backup while people get 3-5 days of backup on idle mode.
On idle mode even..my tab loses 10-12% in 2-3 hours.
Tab is 7 months old so i think battery doesnt needs to be replaced or any hardware issue.
Can anyone...anyone please help me..?
Please Suggest any method other than the ones i have tried.
Thanks
Edit:
I have even tried Greenify to check the background apps..but in reality the battery goes down on even very light use such as messaging or checkin xda updates.
Anyone..?
This meight help if you are on P51XX : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50677996&postcount=788

Got into advanced wifi-settings and disable wifi to be on all the time, also disable networknotification if you don't need them.
Thanks but i have a P3100.
I have already disabled wifi when sleeping.

Try flashing new kernel for your device.
Did you overclock the processor?
I once extended the preload with the help of a kernel., and when I restarted, cwm was unable to mount preload.
so I resetted the default settings of the kernel tweak app and den everything went fine like before.
Thanks for the reply.
I had once tried agni PureCM any rom kernel and i think that the issue was gone but i dont remember exactly and moreover i want to remain on stock mokee to get OTA.
People are gettin 3-5 days backup on stock.
I am running stock 300-1008 mhz on powersave and noop.
Also i just wiped preload once..could that be an issue.?
And wouldn't formattin the whole device and flashing the rom from scratch would reset the kernel settings to default..?
Here's a logcat if its of any use.

I don't think wiping the preload will cause a battery issue.
Yes formatting the whole device should reset the kernel to its default settings.
Are you sure it is not a hardware problem?
Try to check it on any other similar device if you have.
Okay mate.
So i dont have any other tab 2...but my bro has it and he doesnt has this issue as far as i know.
But even i didnt have this issue until 2-3 weeks.
The only real culprit i can think is it might be the cable.
As yesterday pc gave me a code 43 error and i could not connect the tab howsoever i tried.
On 4.4.2 mokee..what should i do with such stats..?
Running greenify...and wifi sleep is enabled..completely formatted the tab and still this issue.
Since battery didnt dropped while it was on sleep..i dont think there is any hardware problem.
Any idea mates..?
@raamishmk same happens with mobile data turned off? can you tell me when it started?
Mobile data is always turned off mate..that stat is for sim network only.
And it started almost 3-4 weeks ago.
Also..i bought a new factory cable and the issue remains..so the faulty cable was not an issue.
Tab is 8 months old now..maybe the battery has possibly died..?
It's a battery issue.. Happen with me as well.. Replace ur battery under Warranty otherwise it will cost u 1600 INR rupees..

Well warranty is of 1 year so i can..
Thanks.
Few days back, my phone died even if it showed that battery has about 20%. Since then, my phone dies always near 20% charge state. Before it does, screen is flickering a little bit.
But so far I've observed, my phone runs about 1 hour and it still shows 100%. After that, it starts to drop. I've tried some calibration, but it never worked.
Do you know, how I can repair this or it's a subject for official repair? I would've tried to buy new batteries, but since it's OPO where batteries cannot be changed, or can be, but it brakes warranty so...
Thank you guys, appreciated.
How old is your OPO? What ROM did you use? Any custom kernel / details etc?
My OPO works fine on CM11 nightlies, stock kernel but rooted.
It's max 5 months old and I've never experienced such an issue. Down you have screenshot. I'm running stock ROM and everything. Hope it will help

I have the same issue here. Bought my One on August, running stock, suddenly since a few days ago the phone goes dead on 20% or 16%.
I hope there is a solution for this, different from "send it back".

I think you might get a faulty battery. This happened with my old galaxy note too. Changed battery and every issue is gone.
Got same issue since a few days, how to manage?
has anyone tries this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/phone-switches-off-when-at-20-low-battery.157075/
27%
Same issue started happening with me too. Phone touched 25-27% mark and goes off suddenly. It was fine from last 3 weeks and from last 2 days, it is giving me this issue. I will try doing factory reset. Hope it works.
PS: I am on stock 38R without root.
has factory reset worked?
Reset doesn't work. It's software problem. A lot people having same issue.
Mine even worst. switched off about 35%. and lasted about 12 hours stuck on 100%.
I've done flash to stock 33R, 38R. clear everything. same. doesn't help.
Open up the phone dialer: type *#*#4636#*#*
This should bring you up to a "secret" settings page. Click on battery information. There you can check battery health!
Replied to a similar thread. I experienced the same issue where it stays at 100% for hours and died around 17%. Happened twice. What I did was turned off the phone and charged it full. Turned it on, waited a couple of minutes or so before unplugging. Had to make sure all apps in the background are up. So far it it fixed the problem for me.
Hope that helps.

I've tried out an apps call "Easy Battery Calibration" can be downloaded from playstore. for rooted devices only.
After using it. it seems okay right now. 100% no longer holds up few hours. drop 2% about 1.5 hours usage.
Looks neat. still waiting for the battery depleting .

Not really. Only did it when it died at17%. There may be some app updates that causes it. In my case I think the culprit is Gsam. Cause when it updated, it messed up the calibration. But then again, it could've been other apps that updated at that time too ☺

I faced this previously. Phone died around 40%. Install battery calibration app from play store. Calibrated my batt and all ok till date. Rooted and on fk kernel back then.
here's the fix. no need to install additional app. no root needed.
NOTE: do this at night, just before you decide to go to bed.
1. let the device turns off itself. no matter at which battery level.
2. while the device is powered off, charge it for at least 6 hours. do not interrupt the charging. do not turn on the phone. and do use the original charger and cable.
3. once the phone is charged for at least 6 hours. turn it on and use it as per your usual way.
4. repeat step 1 to 3 for another 2 times. then the phone's battery calibration will be fixed.
I see you are on 38R .. Have you updated to 44?

Hi all!
i got a oneplus one since about a week but i'm facing a serious battery drain problem. I bought my phone used with 5 months of life and used only a few times so its conditions are like brand new. When i first got the phone i installed cm12.1 nightlies but two or three days ago i switched to the last version of cm12s. Anyway, in both cases i have the same problem:
When i use the phone with the screen on the battery level lowers so fast, about 1% per 1 minute and half. During sleep instead drain seems to be normal. I don't have so much app installed and i usually take blocked with servicely or greenify the ones with services that i don't use often. Also have auto brightness to medium levels and i do normal use (generally navigation on chrome since this morning, no games at all).
Anyway, plugged off this morning at 9:00, now at 14:00 i have 20% of charge with 1 hour and 35 minutes of SOT.
The old owner told me that he didn't use the phone for about 2 months before selling it, so i'm trying to recalibrate the battery (discharge until it turns off, then charge to 100% with phone turned off), but situation doesn't seems to get better. Do you know if it is a well known problem or it is an hardware fault? Can you help me?
Thank you in advance and sorry if my english is not perfect

Have you tried other custom rom? What about stock ROM? If all ROM gives you similar issues, how about your firmware? Is it up to date? If all this doesn't work, you might have a faulty battery :silly:
Hi Bobbi, thank you for your answer! I tried cm12.1 nightlies for one or two days before and I had similar problems. Isn't the cyanogen 12s actually the stock rom for this phone? And what you mean with updating the firmware? I have downloaded cm12s here in xda, wiped all and then flashed it, isn't in this way all up to date?

CM12s and OxygenOS are both considered the stock ROM of this device (I guess ) but some others (like mine) comes shipped with ColorOS as the stock rom
But nonetheless and that aside, flashing CM12s and updating the firmware is a bit different. Most ROM doesn't pack with firmware except for OxygenOS and CM12.1 nightlies
