Hi, a couple of days ago I sent to change the battery of the Huawei Mate 8, the previous one was discharged too fast (10 minutes before it turned off abruptly) and currently in the new I see that the percentage drops rapidly, but remains fixed at 4% indefinitely.
I would like to know if there is a method to calibrate it correctly? If I charge it at 4%, it stays that way for at least an hour and a half before starting to up percentage, and if I turn it off and charge, it stays at 0% and have to wait about two hours before some percentage goes up.
And if in case the calibration is complicated, at least there is a way to disable the "hidden performance reduction" mode when the percentage falls in red numbers? (by 4% the phone gets slow, and the saving mode is disabled) Thanks
Model: Huawei Mate 8 NXT-L09
Compilation: NXT-L09C25B501
EMUI: 5.0 - Android: 7.0

For the past day the battery on the tablet seems to be stuck at 97%. If I plug the charger into it while in standby its says 'charged' but when I unlock it and check the battery percentage it says 97%.
I got the keyboard dock about 2 days ago and when the keyboard and tablet were paired the battery status would just be charging (lightning). Now it's just stuck on the same number. I had some notifications this morning for a firmware upgrade (tablet and keyboard) so I installed those but theirs been no change.
Any idea's ?
If it's any consolation mine's stuck at 96%. I'm guessing it needs to discharge fully and then be charged to calibrate.
yeah..agree this is probably just a calibration issue...it's ok..
Infinite Battery FTW.
Don't know if this is related. But I noticed that until my battery level goes down to 95%, it won't charge back to 100%, when it reads 96% and above even if its plugged in.
Considering how easy it is to boom a Lithium Ion battery I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to be conservative with it. 4% of 16 (potential) hours of use isn't too earth shattering. It does tweak the OCD though!
You would rather have your battery sit at 96% instead of it not being able to take a charge after 8 months..
Hello,
Suddenly last night, my Mate 7 connected to its chageur HUAWEI seen at his expense decreased to 60% and in the day to 9, 15, 17, 25%.
In my home this evening I changed charger and the battery is constantly decreasing from 23% to 15%. Tomorrow he should not turn on again. This is worrying for a Chinese phone that less than a year of life.
I am now in charge but with 11% battery.
This will is there ever?

Does the same happen when you are using airplane mode ?
did you try to charge it turned off ?
Please help me!
My phone is honor 8
1. it often show an attention about the temperature is lower than the operating temperature of the phone functionality is limited.
2. It shows the percentage of battery wrong and my phone shut down on 30% or 20% battery percentage.
3. When I connect charger to my phone it shows the text (charging) but the battery icon still in white color and the percentage is stucked.
These issues happened two weeks ago and day to day the issues is increasing.
U havet to replace tour battery, lots of Honor 8 with that problem, i hade the same on my Honor 8 and changed the battery now the phone works without problem.
I just had a new battery installed in my Pixel by Ubreakifix because my battery had been draining quickly. My problem is that the battery continues to drain quickly even with the new battery. My understanding is that they install OEM batteries so I don't think that the new battery is the problem.
So, I tried to calibrate the new battery using these steps found here:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Unplug your charger.
5. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
6. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
8. Now, let your battery discharge all the way down to 0 percent and let your phone turn off again.
9. Fully charge the battery one more time without interruption and you should have reset the Android system's battery percentage.
I seemed to get caught in an endless loop on step 6. After charging the phone to 100% on step 5, I would disconnect the charger and restart the phone. Every time the battery percentage would drop to 60 or 70 percent after restart. After doing that about 5 or 6 times, I gave up on that step because it didn't seem to be making any difference. One cycle of doing this tends to take several hours because of the charge time from 60 percent to 100%. So, this ended up being a many hour process. Should I have just kept repeating step 6 over multiple days in the hopes that eventually after many charge/restart cycles it would eventually register 100%?
Now the battery calibration seems completely out of whack. I have fast battery drain and the pixel shuts off sometimes around 30 or 20 percent remaining battery. Now with minimal screen on time, the battery might last 8 hours. It used to easily last all day even with moderate screen on time.
Any help would be much appreciated!
I would take it back to Ubreakifix. Tell them the battery drops from 100 to 60-70 after a restart. It sounds exactly like what you would expect from a bad battery.

Yep did that already. They replaced the battery again (for free) and still the same problem. The technician said that this has been a common problem for many pixels after they’ve replaced the battery. He claims it’s because the pixel can’t handle android 10 but I don’t believe that.
I recently bought used Pixel and Pixel XL.
The XL exhibited the exact problems you mentioned (looping steps 5 and 6 and shut off at around 20% mark). Even have this on camera (btw, split screen opening some games like PUBG with your battery status on the other side is a good way to drain the battery and show battery percentage). Not sure if the battery was previously changed but I took it back to the seller and got a refund.
On the other hand, the Pixel (non-XL) is running on Android 10 just fine. Did the battery calibration as you mentioned and it was good to go.
Hi all,
My phone drained 14 percent battery yesterday while idle for 9 hours. The interesting thing is when i add the mAh usages that i see in battery and performance tab it only adds up to 6 percent battery usage. ( i calculated and confirmed with time that 40 mah is aproximately 1% battery)
Also this morning i am seeing an unusual drain as well while the screen is on, it drained 5% but it should have draned only 3% because it says it drained 138 mAh.
Does anyone have any idea about this problem?
This also happened 2 weeks ago and the only thing common both days were, i charged my phone slower (charged using usb on the car) instead of using fast charging.
I also leave the screen shots that shows the battery usage.
Put the phone into Airplane mode when idle: this may save some battery.

yes of course but the battery drain I explained sometimes happens I actually think its a battery indicator bug. Because it shouldn't be draining this much battery because it doesn't show any unusual drain on battery information screen contradicting the percentage lost (14% battery was drained but according to battery information screen it should be 6%)
