Hi, I had a new experience, my battery drain so fast.
My Screen usage (Sot) just for 45 minutes.
This problem comes with a weird issue.
The Chronology:
I had to change the backdoor for my HTC, for 1-2 months that was okay.
In a 3rd month, phone getting reboot when sound going up.
Next, phone always rebooted when launch the camera, there is some purples line, then a phone reboot.
So, that other person who borrow my cellphone not opened a camera, I disable it.
But some strange happen. My battery going to 1%. I charged, but nothing change, always 1%.
Then i try to flashing my phone, but failed because battery percentage is under 30%.
I charge the phone while off, and it works. But so fast.
Remember when download mode error says my phone was under 30% battery?. When i plug the charging cable, the percentage is 46%????
What a weird is, 46 to 100% just 30 minutes!!
When my phone was fully charged. I flashing boot, system, the reset to factory.
The problems never gone, my phone still rebooting when the camera launch, or sounds going to up.
And, my battery drains fast. BUT, my battery charging is so fast too.
The question is: There is something wrong with system who reads the battery?
Because before this happens, my battery is health. 3 hours SoT.
How to reset my battery?
Thanks if anyone help.

I know there are a few threads on the battery levels being a bit random at times, but mine is really hacking me off.
It will stop at say 75% and just stay there, when I reboot its down to like 50% or less. Twice now its gone dead because I though it had plenty of charge but just wasn't moving.
Is it the phone or battery thats the problem or drivers or something - ps this is on a standard rom, no tweaks etc.
same here.im using romeos rom but it seems to be a problem with another roms to.the battery % stay (for example) 10 hrs 68 % and after reset dropt 5,10,15 % down . is it hardware problem or software ?
And quite same here... The case is a bit worse even. When I charge it from lo-bat warning to full, it sort of overcharges itself and might hang up even! I noticed this in two phases - 1) when I left my TP to charge during night, it was hanged in the morning 2) when charging from lo-batt and restarting at ~85% bat level, after boot up the battery reports something at 98% or something!
I have the same (all posts) some time I have 78% and make reset and now i have 89%. Which is real 78 or 89%!??
when I charge all night I have only 70-92% after 6 hours, and after reset 100%
For me this is unusable as I cant trust it without constantly rebooting which is not good enough.
Lucky for me its a second phone, so I'll flog it and think of something else.
Hi there!
I have the same problem, after charging over night. The battery indicator shows, that a battery is not fully charged. After short removing battery and rebooting it shows 100%. With another HTC battery it is the same. When I use another spare battery (not original HTC), it works correctly. But I dont like the spare battery, because it is hard to remove from device because of its sharp edges. I think, it is a HW problem of battery, or a problem of device.
so why exactly am i losing battery life on a reboot. its happening on every rom ive used so far.
I think its because your battery is not properly calibrated with the rom. Are you bump charging each new rom you put on and wiping the battery stats?
This happens to me. I am stock currently, but I have been through two phones and they both lost 5 - 10% on reboot.
It's normal for the phone, it takes a bit to "power" up the phone. Don't stress out that much over it. The battery % isn't 100% accurate anyway.
I'm losing ~10% on each reboot too. Its definitely not just from the reboot and I don't think its accurate. Yesterday, as an example, I was at 43%, rebooted and came up at 32%. Then my phone sat 32% forever, just flat lined in the battery stats for hours. It finally started reasonably dropping again hours and hours later as if the battery level had finally caught up with what was being reported.
Have you ever bump charged and battery wipe stats before?
Cuz mmy battery doesn't drop like that.
I don't think I lose a full 10%, but I definitely notice a significant, if not excessive battery drop when rebooting. It seems unlikely that the battery could have discharged that much, so it's probably a reporting issue. Not something that really bothers me, but just pointing out that I noticed it as well.

This was similar to what I experience. More evidence that it is a mostly harmless reporting error. The reporting "corrects" itself once the phone is booted. Interesting behavior, but harmless.

Your battery gague isn't telling you the truth.
I don't even get a 100% charge. It sits at 97 for like 3 hours and then drops. Reboot usually only takes <5 for me though. I'm thinking ROM issue.

This really explains why you drop rapidly after unplugging your pone from charging to "100%". I believe the OP is referring to a step function-like decrease in battery level between reboots. That is what I'm referring to anyways. That link does have some interesting info though.
I've been having the same issue. Reboot sometimes drops the battery by 5%, and the battery gauge seems to get stuck after that. I've also noticed that sometimes if I reboot while it's charging, the % will jump something ridiculous like 20%. Just now, it was at 45% while charging, I rebooted, and now it's at 57%.
This has been happening on both BAMF and CM7, though I've always been using Imoseyon's kernels.
Same problem here. Bump charge and battery stat wipe is the fix but it's definitely a pain. Especially, since I am flashing a new rom everyday.
to bump charge does my phone have to be off or when it reaches 100 unplug and plug a few times? will that do. i hate having to shut the phone off especially for a number of hours.
Bump charge> charge the phone on till light turns green. > turn phone off> charge phone until light turns green> unplug and reconnect several times> boot into recovery> wipe battery stats. > done. Use the phone all day and let it die on that charge. Then charge over night turned on. And you are now calibrated.

because rebooting entails the re-starting of operating system, services, background apps, internet connectivity, and initial data sync. it's just the nature of restarting an operating system.

I think the question was meant to be something like, "why do I lose 5-10% of my battery after a reboot?" Of course rebooting using a little power, but that's not the issue here.

Because the battery gauge isn't reading it right. Solution. Bump charge and battery wipe stats.
The last couple of days I've noticed something strange with my battery. I keep it on the charger all night and when I get up in the morning my phone says the battery is at 100% and the charge LED is green. The instant I pull my phone off the charger it drops a couple percent. I thought that was strange so this morning instead of pulling the phone off I just shut it down. Once the phone was completely off the LED went from Green to Orange as if it was charging again. It look another 20 minutes to turn green again. I powered the phone up and as soon as sense is loaded I am back to 93% battery.
Anyone else see this? I've wiped battery stats and did the whole calibration but that didn't seem to fix the issue.
That is normal... Once the batt hits 100%, the charger goes off and lets it drop to 95% or so and starts charging again. It does this to protect the battery. Also when you turn off, it will restart the charge.
The battery is lying, but that's not such a bad thing.

My battery has been acting up the last few days as well. As in, going from a full charge to ~35% in 3 hours and then down to ~12% an hour later. No new apps added, nothing out of the ordinary done. Regular uses and charging cycle. I normally reset my battery stats when I flash a new incarnation of a new ROM, but after a couple of days everything seems to be back to normal.
I've been baffled by this, but have yet to find the culprit. An app or searching for signal are my only thoughts.

This makes perfect sense, thank you for the link!
Not sure what's happening with my phone, but after removing the plug on my fully charged phone, I will let my phone sit idle for about 10 mins, when I go wake the screen, I see that I've already lost 3% of battery capacity.
The weird part is after this initial 3% is gone, my battery will drain normally. Does this mean I need to calibrate my battery? Is there anyway to do this without damaging it?
It means you need to get a new hobby... seriously, why do you care if it changes nothing what so ever. In order to fix this, you should try not checking your battery percentage every 2 minutes. On the upside, this will probably give you another half hour of battery life as well.(damn a change of attitude would fix like 90% of problems on this site)
On a more serious note, it's likely just because your phone doesn't keep charging when it hits full charge, it stops charging in order to not kill your battery, and lets it drain to like 90% at which point it will charge back up to 100%, so it may be at any point in between when you disconnect it. Even if it is truly at 100% when you disconnect the charger, the measurements may not be completely accurate when approaching 100%, so it is likely, that could make it drop faster at first. You need to do nothing in order to fix this, seriously don't mess with it.

Are you running stock or custom kernel and any custom ROM? Ive noticed this sometimes too but that's because the phone, when unplugged is running services to start phone on battery power versus the cord/wall charger. Check logcats to see what happens when phone unplugged to see what may be happening when phone starts on battery.
I think you are worrying about it a little too much. It could be searching for service (which drains a lot of battery), starting services as someone previously said, heat is horrible for a battery, anything. If the drain is normal after that who knows it could be the ROM you are on, battery percentage not being reported correctly.
Not worth an RMA by any means. Reset battery stats in recovery and see how that works out for you.
Bear in mind, these batteries are cell batteries, a user who plugs their phone in every time the battery hits 50%, is going to notice over a period of time the time it takes to go from 100% to 50% is shorter and shorter, and suddenly, 49%-0 holds a better charge. If you're constantly charging your phone, you'll wear those cells of your battery down. This is where the "hoax" of always letting your battery drain to 0% when you get it to "maximize" battery potential came from.
Recently had to replace battery.
Phone was shutting almost immediately after it was disconnected from charger. Charging status when not switched on showed the battery kinda going in reverse. Phone was really odd as it would suggest the battery had 100% charge and then within minutes of disconnecting it was shutting down.
I tried a factory reset/refresh with no change. So I ordered a Genuine replacement battery off flea bay and installed that last Thursday.
Initially phone seemed ok, then wen a bit weird and shut down even though charge was like at 70% or so. Wouldn't restart until plugged in and then in shutdown mode the battery/charging indicator would show 0% and then very quickly showed 70%. Good bit though was it was going up and not down like before.
Fully charged phone overnight. It then seemed really good and lasted until Tuesday with 66% charge still showing. I had not installed FB or Twitter which made a huge difference. Then yesterday it just shutdown again. When plugged in showed 0%, within minutes back to 70% and then charged to 100% in the space of an hour or so.
So I am looking for any advice. Is this just calibration issues that the phone needs to get past. Is it possible the phone has corruption int he ROM.
I appreciate it might be a hardware fault but seems weird that the replacement battery is clearly showing a big improvement suggesting battery was EOL after 2 years use.
TIA

Same problem here i will try to install the oficial rom of xt890 if works i back here if not i don't know what to do
Sooo............issue is still present. Odd thing which I am unable to confirm, due to rnadomness of shutdowns, it that I think it is slowly learning the state of the battery as it originally was shutting down at 70% after 2-3 days on standby. then 66% hen 56%. I did a clear cache partition and a fresh install but still the issue was present.
Clearly the new battery is lasting longer than the old one, just the phone does not seem to know to reduce the charge indicator all the way to 0%.
Anyone any idea why this might be happening.

Just to add i'm having the same problem.
Symptoms started last week running the stock kitkat rom so i ordered and a fitted a new battery. Initially everything looked good phone said 100% left it over night and noticed it had shut off when i came back to it. Plugged it in to the charger and it said 0% so i charged back to 100%, booted up android and almost immediately it begins discharging rapidly, i would say within 15 minutes its back down to 0%.. I've done this a few times now even left it on charge overnight for 8 hours but its still discharging rapidly everytime. The craziest thing is even if it says 0% in android i can still boot in to recovery and flash away so clearly there is charge in the battery its just android thats out of sync.
What i've tried so far:
Different wall chargers/USB leads/Outlets
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed CM11
Factory Reset several times
Various battery calibration apps
My next step is going to be trying RSD to flash the stock ROM but beyond that i dont know what to do.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with my Razr i, replaced the battery and it's still discharging very fast
Eventually managed to resolve my new battery issue simply by fully charging and discharging several times. It started to hold charge after the 7th charge and after several more discharges it's now up to full capacity.
