Do you have any battery monitoring apps? Something has to be eating the crap out of your battery, I'd recommend GSam battery monitor.. see what is using your battery and adjust accordingly, May need a Rom reflash if all else fails.

It's called trickle charging. Phone charges to 100% then drops to 90% before starting the recharge. The phone will show 100% though because otherwise, the forums would be flooded with people saying "MY PHONE/CHARGER DOESN'T WORK OMG"

Strange shut down on Low battery

Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!

If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

All stock!

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.

[Q] hot phone, not charging

Hey guys need some advice here. My one just recently hit 120F the other day and now that's a norm when charging. (screen off charging) Also, it will not charge even overnight, after about 6 hours the battery went from ~14% to 64% and the led was blinking red, battery indicator did not show that it was charging.
What can I do on my end? I know I'll probably have to get it replaced but I just wanted to know if there's anything else that will fix it.
Thank you

Try charging with the phone powered off. I know this might help cuz you need your phone on but it's the only option. After that send it back.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Blinking red while charging means the phone is too hot to charge. Wait until it cools down and try again.
You can also try a "battery pull" by holding down the power button while the phone is on until the capacitive button lights start blinking and keep holding it until it turns off. Temp sensor might be stuck.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yeah ill try doing it powered off. It's weird cuz that's how I always charge it, but hey its hitting 100F ambient temp here so maybe that's it. My phone also gets super hot when watching a video and can drain a full battery in about 1:30 hours

Might try a battery stats app and see if something is running away on you. I occasionally use opera browser and found it would kill my battery really fast with the screen off if I didn't actually exit out of it - can't ever leave it in the background. Maybe you have something similar...

AT&T HTC One lost 40% battery when it was OFF.

Had around 67% when I went to sleep. Forgot my charger at home as I was at my girlfriends, so I turned off the phone. I woke up this morning to see my battery at 23%! And while writing this post, I accidently turned it off again and now my battery is at 8%
Whats going on!?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Umh, you have the fastboot active?
And, the phone was hot?
Possibly android was reporting the wrong battery status when you turned it off. Charge your device to 100 percent then turn it off and on again without the charger plugged in. If it reads below 100 charge it again until it's full.

Thanks for the help guys. I guess it was fast boot... I tried it the other night and only lost 3%. At least it wasn't my battery

Because the fastboot is like the "sospension" of windows.
The OS is running in background with all the app open and all the service...

MAJOR Battery problem!

I have recently bought a HTC One and the battery is behaving very poorly. My screen brightness is set to around 25% and I only have location services and Auto-Sync on and I can't even go half a day with this thing. I have tried running all kinds of different ROMs to see if that changes anything but it doesn't.Side note it was bought from Swappa if that changes anything.

Look at the first screen shot, warning signs already. Your screen was only on for 30 minutes and yet your phone was AWAKE for almost 5 hours. I see your using 3g data but your Wifi has been on for almost 6 hours. Also your phone radio is using up quite a bit of juice which I assume is because your signal isn't great. Biggest recommendation right now, turn off the location stuff, they are battery hogs. You should also download betterbatterystats which breaks down all the things keeping your phone awake
I also can propose to you to turn off the wi fi ... For me it eats my battery more than the 3G signal.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Even with low signal, this a very odd behavior. The battery is draining too fast.
Try downloading CPU-Z and check the active processor cores and sensor operation. You might have a defective unit.
Good luck.

Turning of WiFi has no difference in battery as well as turning off Mobile Network completely. I do think I have a defective unit though, but I have bought this off of Swappa and don't know where to start.

As Galactus said, get betterbatterystats to check your wakelocks.. A "Held Awake" time of almost 10x as much as screen on is no good!

Try the new ViperONE rom 3.1.0 it has much better battery performance, i had issues with battery too, but after flashing with this rom , it's much much better battery life.

In BBS you need to show us your partial wake locks and personally I find most roms to be the same regarding battery life. I don't think the device is defective, something whether its a rogue app or a messed up file is keeping the phone on when you have your screen off

What could be killing my battery so quickly?

It seems that Android System uses a really high amount of battery, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, or would know how to find out.
My battery lasts around 5 hours anymore, doing the same thing I used to do when it lasted 17+.
Any help would be super appreciated.

Why are you on JB? What setup are you using? Also, a screen shot from Wakelock detector would be appreciated.
I'm rooted stock 4.3. I just didn't really like the update from it, so I went back to 4.3.
I was fine til about a week ago.

I noticed that on 4.3, yeah, the phone radio was the biggest consumer of battery, butconsidering your usage, perhaps screen usage should be greater. Regardless, you're getting 4SOT/23.5SBY which is far better than I'm getting (2.5/14) on KK. lol
If you think about it, if nothing is waking your device, the phone radio is the only thing using power during sleep. So I guess it makes sense.
How about this? Supposing it has to do with the end of charge mechanic of the cpu, but it's worth a check.
Perhaps the battery is just going bad, after a year?
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
Any other ways I could see what's causing such a drain on the battery? I fear pretty soon keeping it plugged in won't even give it charge enough to stay on.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app.
Or maybe something about this may help figure it out? I put it in Airplane Mode while charging and it didn't seem to make a difference in the rate at which it charged.
Could that possibly narrow down the cause?

I just picked up the phone and started using it to read my Blinkfeed, and the battery suddenly dropped by a percent or two before it began charging again.
It's acting so strange.

That google play services drain though... Try installing the Amplify module for Xposed.
I supose reflash soft, then freeze google services in tb, and unfreeze omly when they are needed. Maybe it will help

Well that's a bit extreme. You need Google Services for a lot of things, and that app is central to the android experience.
That's not to mention all the FCs he could get.
I find the phone stutters quite a bit too. Like freezes for a few seconds then carries on with what I'm doing.

tbh it's hard to tell. I would say do a TI backup and flash something fresh. If you like JB, I think viper 3.5 is good for you.
You could also try calibrating your battery. I did it, and it seems to have had, at the very least, a slight placebo effect .
