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 think you have to send it back to 0ne+ and take your warranty claim.

Same issue Here!

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?

Working. Thabks.
Wondering what caused this nevertheless.
Another issue is that never before when the battery was enpty that i saw that screen with chinese words. Is that new?
Running kitkat, battery recently replaced. all good for a month.
Yesterday the phone suddenly switched off , i switched it on again and the battery had jumped down about 40%.
It crashed again but then remained stable for the rest of the day.
Tonight (at 50% battery remaining) i got a sudden warning "6% battery remaining" and it crashed again, i switched on again and the battery went back to normal , around 40%, stable since.
Any ideas or is the phone on the way out ?
Did you buy an official N5 battery? It looks like a faulty battery...
This is the one i ordered

It can't do any harm but it won't help in this situation.
Try the following:
1. Let the battery go to 5% then charge your device to 100%
2. Disconnect the cable
3. Reconnect it and check if the battery level is at 100%. If not keep charging. If 100% disconnect and reboot. Then reconnect until 100%
These steps worked for some users (even if steps 1 & 2 should be enough IMHO).
Moreover you can try to remove apps or flash the factory images to check if the problem persists. If nothing works then your last attempt is to send it back to ReplaceBase.
thanks for taking the time to reply, will try your suggestions,
Just had another strange battery drain, captured it on this screenshot.
You can see battery just takes a sudden dive and recovers somewhat.

I have just read a nice thread about massive battery drain. Check this out.
His explanations fit with your battery stats.
Thanks for that, will have a browse, but would it explain my phone suddenly dying at 50% ?

I guess. Anyway you should follow the above steps and clean up your device by removing useless apps/features. Finally flashing factory images is sometimes a good thing to start from scratch.
Thanks again
I just tried your first suggestion, charged till 100% then disconnect, it immediately dropped to 99% so i recharged to 100%
Then disconnected and rebooted, weirdly when the phone rebooted it said the battery was now at 19% ,
Back on charge again.
Ugh.... Good luck but I would bet on a faulty battery. You'll probably have to send it back if you can use the warranty.
Did you have the same issue after receiving the new battery? Did you change several things of your setup (kernel, new apps...)?
Going from 100% to 19% can't be explained by the above thread. IMO no apps, no kernel, no software can explain this drop. Some folks say that it can also be caused by the motherboard...
Replacebase have promised to send me out a new battery , they too think its likely a dodgy battery, top customer service so far, hopefully it wont take too long to arrive.
I didnt change anything on my phone, perhaps updated some apps , its stock Kitkat,,, meanwhile Is there any way to check the health of the motherboard ? i don't like the sound of that.

Without profesionnal tools we can't check this AFAIK. Don't worry about the motherboard. It was only a suggestion reported by a few users. Chances are your problem will be solved after receiving the new battery.
ok thought as much, battery charged up to 100%, rebooted and now at 60%.
Ill put back in the old battery for now and see how it behaves. thanks for you help
Hello,
I am new here and need help with my Honor 8. The battery drain allot. I have read other post on xda-developers.com with the same issue. I don't know if the drain start after the update7.0. I just know that I know that my has been update to 7.0. If is some info:
Android 7.0
EMUI 5.0.1
I have tried to turn off WIFI+ and Location with no lock .
I don't know if my phone is factory unlocked and I will try to restart my phone but would like to know if I do that will take away the unlocked part?
Please share you battery graph and also see which app is consuming high battery. It may be many apps open in the background. I was facing the same and disabled Facebook on screen lock as it was consuming good amount of battery.
Check if you have enabled backup and sync for Photos as it consumes a lot of juice as well.

For the first time, mine did some crap like that this morning.
Word thing is the other day it stayed in 100% for 2 hours straight.
I mean I was web browsing on 4G, playing videos on YouTube etc. Doing everything I can to try and drain the battery.
My guess is we both need to factory reset.
In my case I recently updated to B391 but didn't factory reset.
Each update I did prior, I always factory reset the phone and had consistent & decent battery life

I always do a factory reset. It's crap, we users shouldn't have to, but it seems the best ways to squeeze the best performance of the device.
I bought the Honor 8 when it launched. It's almost been a year and a half and I had big battery issues.
I tried battery calibration, factory reset, etc... Nothing worked.
So I bought a new battery on Ebay (15€) and had it replaced. The phone is now good as new. At the end of the day, there's almost 50% of battery remaining.
I thing the component quality isn't that good and doesn't last more than 18/20 months.

I bought my Honor 8 around Octobor 2016 and same issue. Now, for common use, FB, surf with Chrome, IM with Messenger & WhatsApp, I've to charge 2-3 times per day.
My device is still in warranty (I think) then, I contacted Huawei/Honor support... but I think like you, battery is a poor quality and need to be replaced.

Could you please PM me the ebay link to the battery you got? Thanks
Is it easy to replace the battery on your own? I am really furious with the battery issues. Today my phone had 60% battery and it shut down suddenly. When I turned it on again the battery life was 0% and I was away from home without any other way to communicate with the universe ? . I don't know if I should by a new battery or just throw it away and get something else. It was a great value for money device (best camera ever!) but this thing with the battery is unacceptable especially because it is not easy to open it. I'd really appreciate it if you could send me a pm with the ebay link as well. Thanks in advance ??

Had my battery replaced under warranty a months ore so before the expiratin and with shipping taken care of (Huawei France). The phone was back quite quickly (took around one week) and now feels absolutely great. I am not a heavy storage user so I can manage with 32G for some time.
Even if it's out of warranty I'd say it's really worth replacing.
Hi everyone
I have my honor 8 two years now.
It always had 2days battery with normal use (videos included) for 1and half years.
Now it's switching off with 80% battery left.
When I plug it and turn it on it says 40/50% battery left. If I unplug it, it swithches off again.
It makes me crazy as I cannot rely on it, but the phone is fantastic!! I had other phones on the past, and the battery last for more than 5years!!
- I've reboot the phone already, cleaned the cache, checked all apps, but the situation is still the same.
Any suggestion?
- I'm reading that Google play might be the probem. Can I get rid of it?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

I resolved my battery drain problem by connecting all my wifi to 2.4Ghz instead of 5Ghz.
Hi everyone!
My wife has a Mate 8 and recently she has a strange problem where her phone turns off or resets. That happens only while she is using it (seeing a whatsapp video or a gallery's photo, or even sending me a telegram. And in most cases battery level was on 90, 80, or even 50% of charge, and after reboot the battery indicates 1%.... later it turns off again (because of 1% battery) and if you turns on again, the battery level is i in 30% now... but instantly passes to 1% and turns off again.
I thought that it can be a battery problem, and a replacement could be ok... But in my country things like batteries or phone replacement parts bought on ebay may take 1-2 months until receive it... Buuuut...... if that weren't the problem?
So I would like a second opinion...
I thought too... if I root the phone and calibrate the battery... could be that a solution?
Or maybe it could be another problem instead battery (like a memory problem)? I ask this because when the phone is charging, there is no problem. And the first time after I disconnected the charger (which casually is a few minutes after I turn on) there is no problem too.
After the last reboot, when I see the battery graphic in Phone Manager, in the hyper-drainage part it says that Chrome app drain 6mAh (while the other apps drain 1mah)... But the other day it shown the same with Facebook app (which I uninstalled after).
She has:
NXT-L09 C605B585(Android 7)
Thanks very much!
PD: and its impossible take it to warranty support, cause she broken the screen last year and I replaced it So warranty is broken.
PD2: sorry for my bad english
I have also had problems with the battery and replaced the old one with a new one. You can find howto-videos on YouTube. Rooting the phone and recalibrate the battery will most likely not work. Your description of the battery's weird behaviour just sounds like it is broken.
yup..look like the problem with your phone battery man..it's time to change a new battery dude..even mine already changed..same as your problem..
i was in the same doubt you have,what if,what if, and tried a lot of different things,none of them worked,the only one option i had left was to change the battery.i did it and now it works better than new.replace the battery and your problem will be gone.i have seen a ton of people with this phone with the same problem,it looks like the first edition of the battery released with the phone had serious issues.mine didnt even got to 4 months old before it got broken.

Hi.
Finally I bought a new battery and the problem was solved.
In my case, I distrusted a little with the "original batteries" around in the ebay market, so bought a brand that I know that its a good brand and to make sure I will not have problems in the future: Cameron Sino. I recommend it.
Regards!
PS: Thank a lot for the help!
So I'm having the same fast battery drain that a lot of people are having where I can lose 30-40% in 1 to 2 hours and be completely dead in 6hrs. But here over the past couple of days my watch will shut down like the battery is dead but when I put it on the charger it will read anywhere between 28 and 32% so I will turn it back on and it will last about a minute and then shut down again and when I place it on the charger it still reads the same thing. Has anyone had this issue? Used to go all the way down to 3% and when I would put it on the charger it would read 3% but not now.

Is there a way to reset the battery status and percentage reading. Having the same issue.
Mine has been doing this for a few weeks now. It would power down as if the battery were depleted. When I put it on the charger, it would show 80%. I just bit the bullet and installed a new battery this morning (after trying everything else) and now it is working fine.

I didn't post any screens because after checking, my battery quick check is exactly like yours except L15 instead of L16
I too am having the same battery rapidly draining. I pulled it off the charger today at 1 after letting it fully drain last night. I had to place the watch twice because initially it was charging at a rate of 25/hr. It's 2:30 and I'm down to 76%.
The odd thing is, I got the watch for Christmas, purchased Monday of black Friday week. It was perfect until the first week of January. Then it slugged up. The the following day I started getting the battery drain issue, 10 - 15% an hr. After countless times of rebooting, factory restoring, letting the watch drain entirely and recharging, and messing with notifications and permissions, it started to act normally again. Then I got the Tizen 4 update and I decided to go through the update. I'm back to square one again...
I have no idea what really set it back to normal the first time. Figured I'd reach out again while I mess with it.
Also, I tried flashing the watch, but every time I went too, the software on my laptop would just crash when I hit start.
SM-R798T running Tizen 4. The upgrade to Tizen 4 wasn't done until after the new battery was installed. Now I can easily get 2 days life out of it. The battery was $24 and took about 25 minutes to install (I was being VERY careful since I had never done this before). The watch ran like a champ with good battery life (this was Saturday), Sunday afternoon, I got the notification to update to Tizen 4.
Watch shuts down quickly
I have had similar issues to all here. My watch is fully charged to 100% and removed from the dock and lasts probably an hour and a half, then shuts down without warning, no low battery signal or anything of the sort.
When it is placed back on the dock it reads anywhere between 80 - 90%.
This must be a software problem. I just upgraded to one UI and the issue has recurred.
Has anyone solved this??

I have bit the bullet and changed the battery. Samsung repair shop did the install. On pick up at 15:50, the watch reconnected with my phone, did the update and synchronised at which point the battery went to 84%, from startup at 86%.
It then lasted overnight and for the next day, until the morning of the third day on which it died.
Since then it has lasted 2.5 to three days on one single charge.
I will only be charging it once it dies, not preemptively.
I will continue to monitor and update if any negative changes occur.
See people are still trying to insist it's a battery problem. Not true, most of the issues are software problems.
Still have the original battery in mine and two days is not a problem now. Meanwhile a year ago it didn't last 8 hours.
Charging the watch is a pain because the percentage is way out of whack and doesn't work right but once it's charged it works...
Still absolutely unacceptable for a $350 product that has only worked properly for about a year of the 2.5 years I've owned it due to glitchy software.

My watch now depletes its battery in less than 4 hours. Sometimes if I put it on a charger, the watch would instantly say 64%. I agree with you that it's a software problem. Does it help if I reset the watch? Do I have to replace the battery to solve this problem? Thanks.
I wonder if its a bit of both, battery degrading and the watch failing to reclibrate around it. I actually had a new battery in mine recently (GW42 but some of the same problems) as it was under warranty but if it wasn't I would be tempted to just disconnect the battery for a period of time and then reconnect and see if that is enough to reset the battery usage. Intrigued if anyone has tried this.
