Phone shuts down around 15%

Hi guys,
Since a few days my phone powers off when de battery is around 15%. And when i charge the phone again it starts charging at 15%. I repaired the software but that didnt help. Any ideas how to fix this? I am not rooted and im not planning to do that with this phone.

Just charge the device to full capacity and don't restart it. This behaviour is normal.
Each restart or time spent in recovery, breaks remaining capacity estimation.
Full charge repairs it again.

Out of curiosity, is this a software problem, a hardware problem, or a Sony is really bad at making phones problem? My first Xperia TL by them bricked itself less than a week after purchase, and now I am having this same problem with my new device ever since the update to Jellybean. I have this device through AT&T, could it be their fault? My problems with my Galaxy Note were their fault so I wouldn't be surprised.

You may notice a pattern, if its a feature of every you phone you have its a feature of the phones.
This issue has been discussed repeatedly, its all to do with the way the phone calculates the charge and its not really an accurate picture of the power in your phone. Thats why some people ave noticed their percentage going up whilst not on charge.
I suggest you just use your phone as normal for a week, (I.e no flashing etc) and let it go through several full charge, this always settles the battery stats out.
Also, the new bateries we have prefer to be on charge, so whenever posoble leave it plugges in and NEVER let it discharge, the new batteries dont like that

Try calibrate the battery Go on Google Play and search for "Battery Calibration"

Mine was doing that too. You SHOULD read this post just in case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355862

How I calibrate my battery:
I made sure my phone is unable to be turned on again by making sure it has no battery left. Charge it without turning it on for 3 hours.

Fully charging takes more then 2 days??

Hello,
Since yesterday my phone needs more then 2 days to completely charge? Can this be ROM related or is my device damaged?
I'm running CM10.1 with stock kernel btw.
Thanks!

No it is not normal.
But which phone do you have. In here we discuss the normal s (I9000) and the s plus (I9001)

Check your charger first. A corrupted/duplicate charger would take long enough time to charge the battery to 100%
If it's ok, Try to charge your battery in a similar device. If it charge properly, then the problem might be in hardware.
If it not charging properly in other device, it's time to change your battery..:fingers-crossed:

I tried charging the old battery and that goes really fast. At least for me it's normal. It went from about 55% to 88% in 1,5-2 hours so happily it's not device related. Seems that the new battery isn't working properly. Or should i setup something to make my device recognize the new battery?

nope, thats battery problem, android already has good battery management with.
try charging with display on n see 1% exchange in how many minute, if its takes more than 5 minutes, then its battery faulty.

There's nothing to setup for a new battery. Only just in first use you have to charge it continuously for about 2-3 hours to calibrate it with the device.
Try one thing, fully discharge the battery to 0% and charge it up to 100% continuously.(whatever time it takes) :fingers-crossed:
If it not helps, change the battery.

There's a doubt. If it's because of a faulty battery, the drain will also be worst na.? But he didn't mentioned it.

[Q] Battery drops to 95% once charged fully?

My problem is that after charging to 100%, the battery drops to 95% after the course of about 10 minutes after unplugging the charger.
After reaching 95% the percentage would 'normalize' and discharging would occur on a more regular basis.
I have been experiencing this problem for the last 2 weeks or so.
It started happening suddenly, can't remember doing anything out of the ordinary to cause it to happen.
I tried letting it discharge to 1% then charge fully but the problem still occurs.
Even tried this app but still the problem exists.
Tried about 3 different ROMs also but still a no go.
Any advice about what can be done cause its driving me up a wall?

It's a known base bug and the only way I can think to 'fix' it is to charge your phone while it's off. I turn mine off when it's nearly fully charged.
Seriously nothing to worry about.
It's been reported many times now if you had used search
Sent from app

Ok thanks. Will try charging with the phone off.
I am curious however how this started happening without me doing anything unusual.
I mean prior to this happening it was discharging normal.

It use to bug me too but I've had the same or better battery life in the end so it's all good.
Started happening when 4.3 base was introduced

Well I never charge my phone overnight. I always unplug it when I go to sleep.
This occurs through regular charging

Try discharging completely, then charging completely while the phone is off, then start using it normally without intermittent charging. See how that goes.

Hmm will try that but I've read that discharging comepletly can be dangerous.

You shouldn't do it always, but once or twice a month isn't harmful.

What I find is I leave my phone and plugged in for at the very least 10 minutes after it reaches 100% and only then does it discharge normally.
Asides from that my phone also drops to 95%

Didn't realise this problem was so prevalent.
Becoming less bothered about it now.
But will do a full drain and charge with it off on the weekend.

I have the same issue and I usually do what "Jonny68" does and it works
I've read somewhere that it is intended like this by hTC to protect the battery

Tried the charging while off option, didn't let it discharge to 0% however but that seems to have worked as I finished charging about an hour ago and it is still at 100%.
Thanks everyone for their contribution.

Low battery after firmware flash

Hey,
I flashed the firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Everything worked but when I start my phone I get a message that my batterly needs to be charged. It doesn't matter how long I keep it plugged in it always tells me I got only 4% of my battery left.
How can I fix that?

Well, when I once flashed an RUU, my battery stayed at 37% for like 5 hrs, so I guess the battery is miscalibrated, just use the phone and see. If the battery dies, charge it once its dead.

It stays on 4% no matter what. How can I fix this instead of waiting until the battery has died?

[Q] Strange charging

After I flashed the new IC 3.0.5 i got a huge charging problem.
At first my phone charged very slowly. First I thought that it is a consequence of the hboot update. But it isn't.
Then over night and today there was no charging at all. I nearly cried.
Now that I reflashed IC 3.0.3 my phone charges again.
Now my question: is my phone bricked? With GSAM battery monitor and other programs or the #xxx# method with the dialer
everything says that my battery is ok. When I connect my phone to my PC there is no problem with the connection but the slow charging still is a thing.

Do you even know what "bricked" means? You can use the phone, and it charges. What's with the brick question? I'm not trying to thrash you, but you could at least find out what bricked means before you asked such stupid question. To answer your question - no, it's not bricked

I know what bricked means. Just after the last flash it doesn't charge like it did before. I just want to know why and (if) how I can fix it.

How long does it charge? My phone charges about 2.5 hours from 0% to 100% on my current ROM. On some other ROMs I tried it charged almost 5 hours. Anyway, slow charge is even better than fast one if you ask me. Your battery doesn't heat as much and thus getting charged better and lower amp values give more complete charge than high values from faster charge

What??? Did you try with another charger? Dou you have fastcharge option enabled? For me fastcharge slowed down normal charging. Anyway, 10 hours is waaay to long. You can backup your ROM anf flash another just to se how it charges on other ROM. If it's the same, then you have a hardware problem

I didn't have fastcharge enabled. I have no kernel for it installed. I have a 2amh charger and when i play games on the charger it discharges. I don't know if that has something to do with the firmware update on 6.xx or is it because my rom isn't on the 6.xx base?

Firmware shouldn't cause it. I'm on old firmware, bit my phone charges fine. As I said, try some other ROM and see if it charges fine to rule out hardware fault. If you want to deal with backing up and reflashing that is. I remembered one more thing just now. What recovery do you have?

Mine phone also discharged when playing games connected on charger. Without touching it, it took about 5h to charge, stock unrooted phone. Turned out that problem was in USB extention cord i used between charger and phone.. Now it charges in 2,5h.

That's good. Maybe some files were left behind in battery stats that caused strange behaviour. TWRP 2.6.3.3 is fine. Some later releases had charging issues, that's why I asked

my phone running stock firmware and sometimes it experiences slow charging as well...
i wonder if it is because of the background apps that are running or smth?

Funny thing. I've experienced this mythical slow charge exactly twice now, and so I decided to search around today. I am running ARHD 71.1 with ElementalX 14.2.
Both times it was not fully charged when I woke in the morning, and when I checked the battery history it charged at about the same rate as it had drained the previous day, which is obviously weird.
I'm wondering if it has to do with the way I plug it in or something. Or maybe there was a kernel anomaly (the next day I tried the old turning it off and on again, and it hung on bootsplash for a looooonng time, but then managed to boot. weird). :silly:

That's the same thing that I experience. I've not solved my problem for 100%. From time to time the "strange-charging-ghost" comes around but I don't know how and why. I just plug and unplug a few times and then its pretty normal. I hope that I don't have to get a repair because A: I am out of warranty and B: I don't know if it could get fixed. Anyway I just did a factory reset and flashed a RUU and everything was pretty normal.
Ps: my Diagnostic centre *#*#4636#*#* says that my battery is OK
