Is there any way to prevent the Surface from automatically shutting down when the battery reaches 5%?
I feel it's a waste of 5% of battery if the OS does not allow it to be utilised ...
Yeah plug in the charger
I have tried to go into settings and advance power management to try and remedy this, but no luck. It's programmed into the OS, I'm assuming, that the critical battery level is 5% and that's when the device has to shut down. (Same as in laptops as well.)
Is there anyway to bypass this though? Through registry tweaks, perhaps? I mean, the RT does have a command prompt; can we not put that to the test?
Bump.

The OS thinks that you need at least that much power to finish saving your work and for it to do its background tasks before shutting down cleanly. I wouldn't want to change that.
Of course, that doesn't answer your question
I changed the low battery notification to 10%, it gives me time to plug it in when it's nearly low. Before then I'd be watching a video and it would give me the warning and shutdown almost immediately.
How did you do that?

I've also done the same thing. Here's how (this also tells how to change auto shut-down):
1. Search battery, tap "Settings" on the searchbar.
2. Tap "change battery Settings"
3. In the following screen, tap "Change plan settings", then "change advanced power settings"
4. In that window, tap the "Battery" option
5. There are options that say "Low battery level" and "Critical battery level" you can change low battery level to change when the notification shows, and critical battery level to change the auto shut-down. I only turned critical to 4% to avoid doing a "dirty" shut-down, so as not to damage the system.
If I helped, please hit thanks!
I've not touched mine and its set to 3%....
Something done in an update perhaps?

So, just had to post this: it seems the Surface auto shuts down sooner if you set it below 5%. I had mine at 4%, and realized after a couple months (I don't usually hit the bottom of my battery) that it would shut down at about 7%. After re-setting it to 5%, it now ekes out a couple more minutes and goes all the way to 5%. So my recommendation is to leave it as it is.
If you make a new power plan, you can set it to below 5%, but I wouldn't do that if I were you...there's a reason it's set to 5%. You don't want those batteries to go to zero. Their life significantly reduces if you drop to to zero and full charge it constantly. It's better to let it only drop to 5%. In fact, I changed mine to 10%. The more you let your battery die, the more discharged it gets over time.
So I have noticed since I got my phone (~3 Weeks ago) that it has some wakelocks because at night, if I don't put Flight mode on it will drain around 15% (Worse than my old phone which was an S4 Mini) I can see in the battery management that it is active during the night when doze should be activated, but with flight mode on it doesn't drain anything and it isn't active during the night.
So really I notice this during the day too and I can't really find out what it is that is draining the battery, the only thing I see in the battery management is "Android System" as the top consumer, which makes me want to use Wakelock Detector. But I don't want to lose my warranty so I want to avoid rooting my phone for now, and I saw that I could use ADB for Wakelock Detector to gain stats, so will I lose my warranty if I use ADB to give Wakelock Detector Permission to check Battery stats?
And also I found in this other thread that he fixed the problem by reinstalling with recovery, will this void my warranty?
No as long as you don't unlock your bootloader you will be fine...think of it as giving permissions to any other app....i did the same with ForceDoze
Dears,
i have HTC one E9+ and purchased 6-7 before from online and did not notice that device does not have warranty.
Now its started shutting down and when restart then battery goes to 1% or some time decreased 30-40% of the battery and its happen only when i start using the devise like youtube, skype or whatsapp etc but while on idle status dont face any issue.
I even did the factory reset but no improvement and then i thought could be a battery issue and then contacted HTC and they said perform below tasks and if battery above than 75% then not a battery issue.
Now i dont know what should i do to resolve this issue.
can anyone put his/her experience to fix this issue.
1 - charge the device until the LED turns green <br/>2 - turn on air plan mode
3- Go to settings > display > increase the screen time out to one hour and increase the brightness to 100%
4-then restart the device
5- Unplug it and leave it for one hour
if the battery level below 75% that is mean the battery need to be changed

Try re-flashing your stock ROM. After that do a full discharge.
Cheers

can you please advise the re-flashing process also to re-flash the device.
would appreciate your response!

Is there any way to adjust the step length? Without that the step counter is a toy as my steps are probably 30% longer than a shorter person's.
Hi,
Is there a way to calibrate the pedometer?
My step count is like 2000 when the step counter of my phone is on 10.000.
I've checked multiple times: most of the time, it isn't counting my steps.
Heart rate, floors, ... All is working fine besides the step counter
