Battery too low to power ON!

Hello all,
I just got home from work, and to my surprise my NC wouldn't wake up, and pressing the power button did nothing. This was extra surprising since it was fully charged when I went to bed last night...
After plugging in the AC adaptor I got a message on the screen saying "Battery too low to power ON. Wait 15 minutes and try again". After about 10 minutes it powered on, and the battery widget said 12%.
Any thoughts on what the heck happened?? Up to this point, it's been working pretty much flawlessly, and only losing a few %s of battery each night.
BTW, it's a rooted 1.0.0 version.

My guess is that you had some process that was sucking up the CPU. I had this happen once with a turn by turn Navigator (obviously not your issue). Of course the power down killed the process and it did not happen again until days later.
What were you running last night? Did you install anything new?

A few apps updated but I didn't install anything new. I'll be keeping a closer eye on it tonight and tomorrow, though.

Do you have a task killer installed? They can sometimes result in strange kill/restart scenarios.

Wallswitcher for me twice has had an error switching wallpapers, and when this happens it pops up a dialog informing me and then proceeds to sit there forever with the screen on. However, in this case I see around 4%/hr usage.
Maybe something similar happened, except with heavier CPU, higher backlight, etc.

I was playing around trying to see what still worked of the original B&N stuff after I rooted and I started the app that reads a book to kids. That app did not turn off when I killed the screen. It drained my battery fast. I don't know if this is just on my NC or others, but it's worth looking at. Check Nook Color Tools/Settings/Battery Use.

Are you referring to the Fava Book Reader or something? Mine doesn't die either. I have to manually kill it and yes, it drains my battery.

Yep! I could not remember the name of the app, but that's it.

[Q] How can I tell what's eating my battery?

About a week ago, I started noticing that my phone battery gets very hot and the battery drains quickly when the phone is NOT in use (Screen off, sitting on my desk). Full charge to 0% in 4 four hours or so, without being stressed.
When I try to charge it from the supplied wall charger, it doesn't get past 87% charged before the battery temp creeps into the 40s and it starts draining (while still plugged in).
I assume it's a faulty battery, only because I haven't downloaded anything new. The only change I made was updating Viber. I removed that app from my phone but it's still dropping like a fly.
I've done a factory reset twice, no change.
Rebooted the phone many times, no change.
Tried different cables and different chargers (PC, Old X10), no change.
Now, since I can't replace the battery in this phone, I'm hoping there's a software method to see what might be eating the battery.
Note : My LT30a .195 can't be rooted, and the bootloader can't be unlocked. Also, I don't know how to take screenshots.
Anyone have an suggestions ??

In Settings-Battery you should be able to see what processes are using it.
If you want to monitor cpu load in real time, then you'll need some app, like OS Monitor to see load per process, or PowerTutor for logging cumulative consumption.

I bought this phone several days before. Yesterday got root, installed cwm recovery and installed jb 4.1.2 deoxed stock Rom. I noticed that my phone can't sleep. Totally! Take a look on screenshots. I thought that may be bcoz of some apps so I wiped everything (int and ext sdcard too), but it makes no sense

Turning off your auto sync when not needed should do the trick.

Something's wrong there. I've got too much battery consumption by Android System too, but that is ridiculous.
¿Have you tried BetterBatteryStats to see what's keeping it on?.

download batterystats from the market and see what is keeping your phone awake in partial wakelock column...this will give you exact process name of the culprit

AudioOut_2 is related to any games or apps related to sound or which "produce" sound..are you on stock rom and stock kernel?
try to exit any music player app after listening or exit the game properly after playing..sometimes keystrock sound causes it..
do one thing...reboot it and keep it idle for an hr or so..and while rebooting make sure your phone is not in silent or vibrate mode..and after an ar check the batterystats and let us know!
And do check all the columns including partial wakelocks and try to find which process used more time or percentage...

I charged battery fully, made a reboot and left device for a night. Wifi was on. I lost 10% per 9 hrs.
Phone haven't slept at all
Is that all bcoz of gtalk?
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium

Dude your phone is just fine...10% down in 9 hrs with wifi on is too good...everything looks normal..gtalk seems to be waking up the phone to update the online offline lists.in general syncing...thats all..if it was 10% down in 1 hr then it wouldve been a problem...the data looks just fine..and trust me your phone is entering sleep mode..or else it wouldve showed different result..to confirm that install cpuspy..it will say what all frequency are being used and how much phone is sleeping and all...
so just chill..

BTW I logged out from gtalk yesterday evening so I can't understand why it's trying to connect

Phantom Battery Temp Notifications

I have an odd issue with my One. I am getting phantom battery temperature notifications. I'll hear my device go off or partially go off and typically when I grab it there will be no notification, but on occasion I grab the device quick and I can see it say the battery is too hot and then it disappears instantly. Oddly the notification says the temp is like 89f which is very cool...
The odd thing is that it ALWAYS appears when the device is just sitting down and super cool to the touch. Its never happened as I was using it or when it gets hot. Only after its sitting for a while and cooled down. An the notification never stays.
Any thoughts? Is it a faulty sensor? Think I should send it in?

Hi,
Do you use GSam Battery Monitor? Can you take a screenshot of the notification?

I was also getting these. I was wondering why, they seem to have disappeared.
I did have gsam battery monitor installed, I don't know however.
I would always check the temperatures afterwards and they wouldn't even be near hot.

Did you update your firmware to the latest 3.09.401.1 posted by LlabTooFeR?
I guess I too get these notifications as you said randomly. And I doubt that after my firmware upgrade I have this issue. I too have GSam installed and updated to the latest
Any one else confirm this?

It is gsam go to it's settings scroll down to alarms click on alarms disable the last two notifications something got messed up in the last gsam update
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4

Re,
You need to disable the notification: Menu/Preferences/Alarms. There was a version with a bug with the notifications, normally solved with the last update.
EDIT: not fast enough , no issue here with the last update...

Ahh interesting. I do have Gsam installed but I only assumed it was the built in monitoring that was going off.
Thanks! It's been driving me nuts

Rapid battery drain

My phone randomly restarted itself and since then it has had serious problems. The battery never goes up and when unplugged it goes down ridiculously quickly and goes down 1% every 37 seconds. Running cm10.1.3 with Kodak kernel.All was fine until this restart. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Yet another thread about the battery?
Yours sounds like a more serious problem, but you could at least search and find the standrd trouble-shooting - check what is reported as using the battery for a start?
1% in 37 seconds cannot possibly be a software issue - even running every app, all hardware and CPU/GPU at full wouldn't do that.

i can imagine only one way for this to happen. perfomance governor or u did something wrong there thats buging the cpu to work 100% permenatly. use an app to watch your cpu usage, does the cpu go down to 102 when u do nothing or it stays up to 1000+ ?
if it stays up 1st thing check the governor and 2nd use wakelock detector to see exactly where the bug is so you dont do it again after reflashing the kernel.

Yes it does seem to go down to 102 but now the battery goes down 1% every 1 and a half minutes which is still too quick. Is it worth a factory reset? This problem occurred spontaneously so it has nothing to do with the kernel.

1% every one and a half is fine. everyone has battery drain around that percentage

Oh if that's the case then I should be alright. Its just that when the screen was on doing nothing just awake it went down that quickly. But whenever I'm doing something on the phone while its charging it still goes down which it never did before. Do you think its a software or hardware issue?

It still depends on what you are doing and whether you have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, high brightness, high CPU etc while you are doing it. When I used to play Ingress my battery would go down quicker than I could charge it - either from a high-current car charger or from my external battery pack.

Insane battery drain. Cannot figure out what's keeping the phone up! (Screenshots)

I have no idea why my device will not go to sleep!
I mean it does, but something keeps waking it.
Wakelock Detector says the process that keeps the phone up the most is diagnostics.client.Wakelock
BetterBatteryStats says the same thing. It has a wake time of 9 hours and 20 minutes, out of 11 hours and 42 minutes since the phone was last disconnected from power.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try rebooting. I had the same problem, ,and that fixed it.

Just a quick guess that it's Google now or Facebook. check your alarms in bbs dropdown That gives a better breakdown of client.wakelocks and what causes them.

Apparently, some APPs cause this with the most recent versions of the stock AT&T ROM. I battled this issue since an early 2014 OTA. I had great battery life until that OTA.
Long story short, I rooted(Kingo), Safestrapped, and used X-NOTE version 7. The diagnostics.client.wakelock went away. I get 0.3 percent drain overnight and usually only use ten percent per day during normal usage.
I have tried other ROMs but they were AT&T based and gave me the same wakelocks.
I hope this is of some help.

From 4th screenshot, it kinda looks like it is CarrierIQ.
