Hi everyone.
Just your opinion on this please.
I have my Galaxy Ace for just over one year now. The past weeks my battery is literally running to empty.
I had a live wallpaper (My battery wallpaper) where I saw the percentage going down.
I did a factory reset, installed nothing more than the software on the phone and still the battery drained in a matter of hours.
So I installed Gsam battery monitor, to see what was causing the drain. After a week I found nothing that could be a cause.
Last night I charged the battery to 100%.
At 6:30 AM I disconnected, switched my Bluetooth on to drive home, uploaded the screen capture to my Sky drive and saw that my battery was down to 32% (see attached print screen).
When I go to my T-Mobile show, they're willing to send it of for repairs. But I doubt that that is the answer.
So please your advice on this:
Is my battery broken and should I replace it, of could there really be an error in the software?
And if I should replace my battery, should I use an original Samsung, or are there (better) alternatives?
Thanks for taking the time in replying.

Reflash stock via odin & give your battery a try. If that doesn't do good, buy a new one.

Thanks for your quick reply. But my wife was even quicker: she bought a new battery and I replaced the old one.
Result: It took quite some time to top-up the battery to 100%, but now it has been running for 1 day and 2 hours. Phone had been used for stand-by , Internet and e-mail and I still have 56% capacity left. I never had such a long time on my old battery, so perhaps it was faulty from the start.
Problem solved, thanks again,
Rob.

I've been using my HTC Diamond for a few days and I would like to ask a question.
How are your batteri time? Mine seems insanely low, for example tonight when I put the phone besides my bed with almost fully charged battery and woke up 9 hours later and it was completely empty.
Are this normal or have I probably installed some strange app that drains a lot of battery? Or might the battery even be damaged?
The only app I can think of is the background changer that I found on this page, but it only changes once in 30 minutes, and not when the phone is in sleepmode (I think).
Thanks in advance.
Hi,

Hi
I have noticed when I soft reset my phone the battery drops anywere from 5% up to about 70%! It varies from rom to rom. If i plug it in and softreset it a couple of times the battery goes up to around what it use to be. If it makes a difference I flash roms alot and don't usually install to many applications.
Is this normal at all or is my battery faulty? It's only about 8 months old.
Any ideas? Tips I could try?
Thanks
Imran
you know, i have the same problem when installing, touch x legendary rom, battery is about 96,96% but when i install that rom, battery drops down to 8,7%, i just plug in power for second, and battery jumps to 98%, and then all working fine...
The way phones and other devices display their state of charge (%) isn't always accurate, hence why it jumps back up 5% after plugging it in. I don't think your battery is unreliable, it's just reporting the wrong percent of charge...
I see. Mine is more like 50% so I guess mine is just really wrong! any ideas for fixing this?
Also i have the typical xperia x1 problem were it thinks the headphones are plugged in for the last 4 days. I have plugging and unplugging the headphones in heaps but it doesn't seem to work
Thanks
I have the same problem.
Phone has one year and 8 months.
Wine phone or battery?
I just got exact problem this morning
I agree with comment above, I think it just battery indicator not accurately represented battery state.
I also noticed the problem happened when I get my phone idle for a while
I was just going to start a new thread about this kind of thing. My phone's original battery has run out at anywhere between 0 and 30%... it tends to go for a couple of days if I don't use the phone much. I've tried recalibration and it doesn't really help. I thought that was bad, but I just bought a backup battery and it's even worse... yesterday it went from 100 to 50% over half a day on standby, then I used it for about ten minutes and it just went off! At 50%!
I was only expecting rubbish life from the cheap battery but at least report the charge properly so I have a chance! Old phones could always do it... why can't one that cost hundreds of pounds when it was new?
I take it there's nothing you can really do?
My ace's battery is not even lasting half day even with no major use. (Just some calls). Using code *#*#4636#*#* mentioned in one of the post here i checked for my battery health. The health is good but the battery voltage is shown as 3.0V . I suppose it is 5.0V for Ace.
Is my battery faulty ? or there is some other problem? Also please suggest any way to find the correct battery health.
I am currently using official Gingerbread 2.3.6. Thanks in advance
I had even weirder situation, when my battery would drain minutes after charging.
I tried every battery calibration, saver whatnot but it didn't help.
So i wen't and bought a new one, and voila, my problems were solved
It seems that batteries don't last that long as they used to...

Those who are having issues with battery can use Juice Defender!! It really helps
Whenever u install it, set it to Agressive Mode
I need help, Since the last month, my Xperia z1 keeps turning off at 60-50 % battery. When i turn it back on without a charger plugged in it's at 1%, but when i et it charge for 2 minutes, its back at around 60 percent. Sometimes it won't charge, charge very slowly or even drop 20%.
see image for an example.

I've had the phone for almost 2 years now.

Thanks alot in advance!
Sorry for my bad english, it's not my primairy language.
can't post any links yet, made an account just for this problem.
Your battery is dying... You need to go to a service for a battery change because this one is at the end of its life [emoji52]
I had the same problem. I changed my battery and the problem is GONE.
Since Z1 has a non-removable battery, how much do you guys pay for the battery repair ? does it co$t a lot?
Hello
I had the same problem I have to try everything. Finally I have to change battery and everything works again as before. I have had this problem since the transition. kitkat of a lollipop
what the heck do you mean by you charge the battery and the problem is gone? The problem is the phone can't survive long without charging - you can't just charge it all day long. I know because my battery has become so bad that my phone can die at 95% (and same as op, become 1% and then jump up to 100% quickly). It used to do that only when I do intensive tasks like Chrome and camera, but now it just do that for no reason. Thought it was a software thing so I was excited to get back onto XDA after several years - but got very disappointed afterwards. Here in Sweden swapping a battery costs something like $88, which isn't quite worth it considering I'm prolonging a two-year-old phone's lifespan, so I'm giving up and probably heading for the Oneplus 2 instead. So long Sony...
Good morning guys.
Long time without post here but I have a "little" problem with my phone. It is an HTC One m7 (AT&T original) but converted to GPE. It was bought around 2013 so it has few years of use. Since yesterday I am having a problem that I will describe.
Yesterday phone was charged at 100%, I only play Clash of Clan so with phone charged at 100% BUT charged connected to the phone I enter to the game and played for around 4-5 minutes max. After close the game I see that phone does not show 100% charge instead of that only show 53%...
Today the problem has showed 2 times, from 60% to 39% and 86% to 53%. Both time I only was using the game, not more...
What could be the problem? Some app? Time to change phone? Hard reset could help?
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Sounds like the battery needs replacing. Screenshot your battery usage and send it here.
Hi @starboi4eva.
I attached 4 screenshots, the last 2 are from today. Battery was showing 96% charge and in less that a minute (just playing CoC and with charger connected) the battery just drop to 83%
Thanks for the answer.
Sorry for the late reply. And yeah....that doesn't look healthy. I suggest getting a new battery. I bought one off ebay last year and replaced it myself. Some skills needed to replace it.
