[Q] irregular battery reading - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all.. I'm having this problem where there's a spike in my battery history even when i didn't plug in my charger it shows an increment in battery percentage.
Then it jumps down almost immediately.
Anyone else having this problem?
What can i do now?

Need calibration or the battery is faulty.

Yea i did some manual battery calibration (not using apps)
Did the less than 10% then recharge till full thingy..
Didn't help tho.

Damaged phone/battery stats for good?

I switched to serendipity 5.10 from perception 10.4. I currently have speedmod and kp1. My problem is my battery. The very first time i flashed a rom I didn't do it on a full charge. I've tried the bump charge and deleting batterystats.bin file etc etc... Nothing helps. Could I have damaged the phone/battery for good? A full charge lasts about less than 8 hours with moderate usage. It was fully charged and I let it sit overnight off the charger and lost 12% by morning.

Um.. are you overclocking it? If you are that will kill your battery if your not tweaking your voltage settings.
I don't overclock my phone - so unfort I can't help you with under volt settings, etc.
If you think your battery was broken after flashing - you can test this theory. Flash back to stock - charge up the battery then run as normal and see if you get a normal usage then you know it's the ROM (*) and not your battery.
Actually no I haven't done anything with over or unclocking. I did try that before with stock and it was the same. And I did get another battery also so its the phone not the battery. I guess i just have to live with it

nAa 08b +miniCM7 battery charging problem

I'm using MiniCM7 on top of his kernel and no bugs for me except battery.. If battery reaches 15% phone will shut down soon... battery will drain in few moments and battery icon will get into "drained icon" (that red one with x in the middle)...
I connected my charger and phone is not charging... But, I didn't realized that...
Offline charging works for now and we will see
I think battery stats wipe will solve it.... I just have wiped it.. but battery is ****...
Phone is now exactly one year old... I hope it just was my fault because I rearly fully charge my phone...
Anyone had similiar expiriences? I don't trust my battery now....
Try with your stok kernel and rom

Guys, in offline charging it will charge and battery WILL last as it should, but, I need to fuc*ing reconnect charger to start charge. Sometimes i don't realize that phone is not charging... I don't know it's weird

Heavy battery drain

Hello fellow note owners
My note has been draining a heavy amount of battery lately. 2 days ago I did a battery calibration,drain it to 0 then fully charge it to 100 while phone is off. Today i turned it on and I was surprised the first 5 mins I used the phone, 5% of battery gone!
I am currently using Rocket Rom v22 on Abyss kernel 4.2
Abyssplug governor
I am using SPB Shell launcher
My screen brightness is all the way to dimmest
Wifi,gps,BT are all turned off
Data and background data is on
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Download Better Battery Stats and find out what is causing your *wakelock*
whatever you are using... am using the same except spb laucnher. Mine consumes average of 3% per hour with GPS,3G, background sync on. And not using any battery monitors.. Try reseting..coz some app may cause this drain..
Thanks for the replies

I have this app but I dont really know how to use it... and also I am not concerned about my phone draining battery when im not using it. Its when I am CURRENTLY using it and draining massive amount of battery for simple task (I.e browsing over my phone's apps, Internet, checking email using K9 mail, Facebook) I literally just unplugged the phone from charger and used for 5 mins and battery immediately dropped to 95%...

This is what I wanted to happend 3% PER HOUR!!! Mine is 5 mins = 5% gone!
What do you mean reseting? Reset what?
However any app grinding when you aren't using the phone will also be grinding cpu when you are.. In better battery stats select wakelocks and see what apps are constantly waking up.
You really want to get your phone using minimal cpu when it's off so you can really judge how much the running apps are using.

Check out Badass Battery Monitor. It's easier to understand.
I was having the same battery drain issue. I install better battery stat app and found that google+ was using most of the battery and stay awake the whole time. I uninstall google+ and no more drain.
I am not sure if these are normal..
Can someone guide me on how to do some tweaking/killing bloatwares to improve battery life?

What is on top of the list when you hit "App Usage" in Badass Battery?

Spb shell 3d.
Also on on badass battery, the phone radio is on the same time as the battery time. Is that normal?

You got your answer right there.
SPB Shell 3D is eating up the juice. Its a beautiful launcher but its serious battery drain if you play with it little bit.

Does my device needs battery calibration?

My device battery is draining very fast so i wanted to calibrate the battery. I downloaded battery monitor and i get 4300++ when its on 100%. So do i still need battery calibration. Im planning on trying zeppelinrox battery calibration.

Battery calibration is a myth.
Will do nothing other then wipe battery stats and make a new one.
It can be done by charging the phone till 100% and disconnect it from charger

Instal good battery monitor like gsam etc. You will be able to see what is draining your battery. Also do not use full brightness all the time.
P.S. What is fast for you? Can your battery stand a day?
Sent from my GT-I8190N using xda app-developers app
Its like when i leave my phone for about 2 hr. The battery drops from 70-50% on wifi. And i used to be able the last the whole day with 3g on and my phone is only 2 weeks old.

well i agree with the battery saver is a myth statement... I see you have used battery very bad way and now battery has depleted its life span. So still battery is on good side... Just try to do one charge cycle and close all unwanted apps and processes/features so it will conserve battery that way you can keep your battery safe or if you are really unsatisfied try this http://www.mugenpoweronline.com/zas...tid=5&sortby=sortid&orderby=desc&type=carrier
Good luck!
Hit thanks if i helped :good:
yes, battery calibration is a myth, so you must try install a fresh rom (try light by somin, its very battery friendly), use your brightness always low, and your wifi always off when you dont need it. you will see that your battery (if its not broken) will last for at least 2 days (depending on your phone usage)
and the best "calibration" is to drain your device to 0% (it will shutdown) and then charge it to 100% without using during charging. Do this 2 or 3 times and your battery will be very well.
this http://www.mugenpoweronline.com/zaspx/product_details.aspx?file=pr&productno=1640&PageNo=4&ccatno=5&csubcatid=5&sortby=sortid&orderby=desc&type=carrier is bullsh**
If you're rooted you should also download DU Battery Saver PRO and tick the option "low cpu frwquency while screen off'. Just that little option changed my phone's whole life style It really does work so give it a try, you won't be dissapointed.
and yes battery calibration is a myth and doesn absolutely nothing which may help your battery life (i know from 1000s of personal experiances with the calibration thing )

Bad Battery performance on my OB.

Hey folks! I have recently started observing that my phone is consumimg excessive battery. I really cant seem to understand the cause, but for sure, I know there is an issue unknown to me. As I can see and observe, the situations I've faced are as follows:
1. When fully charged and unplugged, usage on wi-fi, screen on and some music leads to empty battery in almost 2 hours sharp.
2. When fully charged and unplugged, wi-fi off, sync off, GPS off, data off and literally everything off including the screen, then from 100% charge to 25% charge in 8 hours.
3. When I use the phone, as mentioned in point 1, suppose the phone discharges from 100% to say 60% in 40 minutes, the thing I do is turn the screen off. Then as soon as I do this, the battery level rises up until I turn the screen on again. Funny! :/ xD
4. Now the final case is this. When I turn of the phone at suppose 20%( probably unreal charge stats), connect it to a charger, and then while connected, switch on the phone, the phone gets charged up to like 50% or so. Epic fail!
5. Oh I almost forgot, battery usage charts show Android OS consuming 40-85% of the charge at all times in which the wakelock stats are an alarming 3-4 hours as per the 2nd point. Screen consumes 30% of the charge and Android System follows
I am posting my battery usage screenshots here.
1. The first screenshot was the one before I rebooted at 20% charge. Look at the roller coaster battery stats. XD
2. The second screenshot is the one showing all the stupid processes consuming excess battery.
3. Observe the difference towards the extreme right of the third screenshot and the first one. The third screenshot was the one after I rebooted. There is a long white line at the right end of the third one which shows the rise of battery charge from 20% to 56% precisely. Bloody hell!!
:/
Kindly, anyone who feel that they can help, look into this matter and suggest me good options to follow.

Two more screenshots!
Just look at the time at which each screenshot was taken and compare the stats Yourself. This **** is freaking me out each day.
LOL and the charge was at 19% at 00:33. At 56% at 00:39 and now at 82% at 01:15. Highly quick charge and discharge. what do I do?

Mention your rom and kernel.

Umm the screenshots are from the Xperian UI ROM. I dont know which kernel it is, but the screenshot here can help You maybe. But but but, I faced the same problem of excessive battery drain even on the official 2.3 ROM of LG. Every ROM is having the same effect more or less.

I think ths is because of the xperia apps. I remember when i used optimusZ by eminent. The drain was high, even when i removed it. Check your wakes with betterbatterystats
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Well You are right about Xperia apps. The Facebook inside Xperia extensions suck up the battery. But that is just a part of the story for me. I've been having the same amount of consumption in almost all the ROMS I've tried so far.
