Battery is charging while discharging - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was transferring some files from my pc to my phone just now. After i done and unplugged my usb from the phone,my battery was 81%. then after some time using it,i realized that the battery wasnt dropping (happy, but weird)
Here is a screenshot of my battery usage,im uploading this using my phone.this is after i reboot my phone.u can see that the green line,indicating that my phone was supposed to be charging. The battery start to act normal after i reboot.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal n what might caused this? Coz if this is a good thing, i dont mind if it happen again

Hit Thanks if i helped..

Maybe wiping battery stats with CWM? Quite weird prob.

Happened to me last week.
Problem is that charging by USB is bad because its alot slower than by plug.
I was gaining power but loading it at the same time so in turn it only stayed on 47% all the time.
Weird

yeah...thats why i was wondering whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. if its a good thing, maybe our x8 can get "the ultimate battery".
it just need one recharge and it is good to go forever..

Yep!
One rule:
Never charge VIA USB! Its about 1% p/10mins
Always charge by plug! 9-10% p/10mins
MUCH BETTER!
Leave a thanks if I helped!

UNL3ASH3D Charging time

No disrespect to teh author of course, but has anyone noticed a major slowdown of charging in the UNL3ASH3D ROM?
The Charging is in the kernel... We can't play with that yet.

Ok, so i geuss im the crazy one...hahahahaha
thanks bro
make sure you charge from a wall charger, computer usb and car chargers charge slower.
This phone charges incredibly fast. Nothing to do with the ROM though as the creator stated. All Kernel.
kernel and all aside

I didnt notice it in 1.1 but in 1.2 my phone did "seem" to charge more slowly. Now on 1.3 it is back to super fast.I know it sounds crazy and impossible but I did notice... something.
I dunno guys, I love this ROM....but seems that the battery is depleting much faster and charging is slow.
I dunno if its mis-reporting the actual charge.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to reset the battery? I know in the bootstrap u can reset battery usage, I tried that last night, but I didn't see any change. I'm usign the extended battery and it seems to be depleting a little too fast....
Thanks in advance
Perhaps reset battery stat after a full charge?

I too have noticed not getting to 100% quickly but I think that has a lot to do with the 1% increments... B4 it probably said 100% when it was actually 96%
Just a thought...
Hey guys,
I tired he recalibration technique yesterday, but seems like it didnt work.
I'm using the extended battery....should I have done this on the smaller battery?
Yea. Battery seems to take a toll on this. Im on extended battery that use to last almost a day on debloated roms. But i like this rom so not gonna worry much. It still last me about an 8 hour shift with heavy/moderate use.
Beats the tbolt where from 6am to 12pm is hitting 40%
Ps. Ive done the battery wipe and the calibration app and discharge and charge and even charged it while its off.

Mine actually seems to charge faster on 1.3 than stock. Maybe we're all mad.

But seriously, I haven't noticed anything w/ slow battery charges...except when using the car charger/dock, but that was already commented about above.
Well, I did teh caibration technique, gettign abut 20% decrease every hour on standard battery...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
Battery calibration app, deletes the battery files in one click. Root required.
Yeah I have that app....tried it.
But still getting 20% decrease every hour.
Before I flashed the rom, i did a nandroid backup of my stock setup. Do you think if i extracted my batterystat.bin from that backup, and put it on this one, I should be good to go? Will this even work?
No problems here.

Battery PROBLEM !

So I tried installing some scripts on my phone, and managed to brick my phone so I flashed it back to default kernel and again installed gingerdx on my phone ... I charged it whole night ... when I woke up ...battery 100% ... I restarted my phone .... battery 40% ... DAFUQ ?! ... in proccess of restarting I cleared my battery stats ... now I am trying to use all the battery till 0% ... then recharge it to 100% and clear it again ...
But this never happened to me ... actually with gingerdx I had pretty great battery life ...
U got any idea what is going on?
I think u must do a wipe battery stats. If it aren't helped, post here.

Try using a different battery, just to make sure it's not your battery that's giving you problems.

Try wipe battery stats,if it doesn't help try to remove unnecessary apps,try to use some task killers(I don't suggest it though),try to change some settings.if battery drain its a known bug of the rom,wait for an update and/or meanwhile try another rom
If nothing helps,there may be problem with your battery,or there isn't any actual battery drain and you just expect too much from your phone

And in your case,
Dont judge the battery after using for two minutes...there might be no problem.but after sometime you notice there is a problem try to wipe battery stats

well I would just like .. you know, to have normal battery ... charge- 100% ... and by using the phone it will go: 100%-99%-98%-97% etc...
But right now it's like ... charging-100%, restart- 80% - 2 mins use - 65% ... It's kinda annoying ...
It's pretty ok right now guys .. I let it charge yesterday for maybe 5 hours, by one reboot it went to 98%..... but it's ok ... right now ... after about 12 hours of not charging and 30 min use, 2 min talk, battery is at 89% ...

[Q] My phone dislikes me.

I was running Sabsa Prime 8.5 on the Redux 0.8 Sabsa kernel when this happened.
I pressed reboot recovery from the power menu and the phone ran the shut down animation and the screen went black.
Unfortunately it never powered back on.
Now it shows no charge light, i have left the battery out for a good 10 minutes, tried running it without the battery, no luck.
I know it is not bricked, but, it has happened before and i never figured out how i fixed it.
I was also running 4ext touch recovery.
Thanks guys.

It's a issue with the battery + USB port.
Your battery drained to much probably because you plunged your device in and your device was charging as USB or not at all.
Plug battery and charger in, wait and look if it battery light is there, wait a bit and try to boot it again. Do you have blackrose?

The battery was fully charged about 5 minutes before this incident. but yes, i did try charging it without the battery in, and no charge light.
and yes, i am running blackrose.
i notice these sort of things happening a lot more after i updated to blackrose about a month ago.
cheers for the answer mate.

Unfortunately the phone will not respond at all.
previous times, i would repeatedly take the battery out, put it back in etc and it would boot.
last time i did it, i remember fiddling around with the charging connector a bit and the orange light came on.
what is strange, is that the phone usually charges fine without me fiddling with it :S
At least i know it isn't hardbricked
Thanks again

[Q] Ridiculous Battery Drain

Dear People of XDA,
I have this issue since a few days and I don't know how to solve it. My battery drains out after 10 min while using wifi and the phone will shut down of course. Leaving it for about an hours time, some power will be regained and I can continue using my device. It all started when I reverted back to stock ICS from cm 10.1. I thought flashing Carburano's ROM might help but apparently not, same problem. I know batterys don't always go nuts but when they do, it's progressive. Any one know what might be wrong?
Regards....

Use the better battery stats app and check which app running in the background is draining your battery without allowing the device going into sleep....
but if the drain is like what you have described....then it is time to move on to another battery....
just a word.....Kernel is something (other things being Baseband) which takes care of the battery performance....so maybe you can try changing this and check which one suits you well.
CHECK IN THE FORUM TO FIND INFO ABOUT APPS LIKE GREENIFY...
Hope this helps you

Thinking it like this: the phone probably can drain a fully charged battery in 10 minutes if you turn on every major component, like vibration, flash, display to 100%, gps, wifi, 3G and what else... But having just wifi on and getting a phone shutdown in 10 min seems excessive. This would suggest your battery is not charging properly. This can result from end-of-lifetime battery only charging to some 10-25% of original capacity, broken charger, battery self-discharge and probably some other reasons I could not think of right now.
The best solution, most likely, is to replace your battery (like SREEPRAJAY above already suggested), but if you like to troubleshoot you could try to charge your phone via USB to reduce the charging current (Li-ion batteries show a lower voltage during charging with lower charge current until 100% is reached). This way you may be able to charge to higher capacity. Also, it may hint that some kernel might work better for you, but I'm not sure about this, since I don't remember what part of Android (SW, charger HW or what) handles the charging logic, i.e. what triggers the charging actually to stop.
Thanks...I'll try the suggestions

well maybe your battery isn't so good anymore or you must try also other roms like jelly cream and those kind of roms and if you wanna know the rom slimbean and cm10.2 from tonyp are also pretty smooth and battery saving but cm10.2 is sadly not working camera still but further it's damm good
Hi I have experienced some issues with battery draining, when I check battery stats it says that most of the battery is drained from Android . media. Service... I have no idea how to work out or disable whatsoever is using those services.. Btw I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly

How often does it switch off? If it's often then you could try leaving it in recovery mode to see if it does it there...

Recovery mode does not use much resources. So it will be hard to tell.

I have a 2 month old original battery in my note. I noticed screen flickering a week ago which is a sure sign the battery is past its prime.
Still, some questions:
Have you dropped this phone?
Are you still running stock android? root?
Did you overclock / undervolt anything?
How often is this happening?
Is the phone hot when this happens?
Ofcourse,I've dropped it many times.I think problem also because of that droppings only.Running on stock firmware.No overclock.Can't say how often....The phone won't be hot but may be sometimes I feel slight hotter.

There is no guarantee that a custom rom can help, but it is much easier than dealing with hardware issue. Definitely should try a custom rom 4.12 to see if it helps.

Custom rom also not helping.Today it switched off completely and not switching on even.sometimes it switches on after sometime but no luck this time.so please someone suggest me,what are my options now ?and What would I do now ?

Personally, my next step would be opening it up, remove all the dust(if any) and check all connections.
If that does not help, you have a problem.
If all fails, consider maybe overvolting and/or underclocking.?
