Hello,
I own a 5 month old htc one m7. From past few days I have observed that the battery is draining unusually from 100%-85%.Today I observed that it came down to 88% from 100% in half an hour during which the phone was just in standby mode with no background apps running. Is this normal? Please suggest me what to do.
Shut it off and charge it

still turn it off. it will definitely help
To add to the good advice the other people have stated you can try to better calibrate the percentage of your device by letting it run completely down to the point where your phone shuts off. While its off plug it in. Keep it off while its charging. Once its green turn the phone back on, still keeping it plugged in. The indicator will go green to red for a short time. Once your at 100% then you can unplug and use your phone. By running it down to zero and leaving it off and fully charging it you essentially are calibrating the device.
Currently its off, and if it drops to 90% or so within minutes theres a good chance it could do the opposite when it gets so 5% or less. It might sit there for an hour or so because the calibration is off.

It didnt work for me

After fully charging my phone, I unplugged it. A few hours later, I tried to wake it by pressing the power button. It would not turn on. I tried to plug it in figuring some app was draining the battery but the charge light (the upper right on corner) never lights ups. I pull the battery and left it that way for about a day. I put the battery back in then the phone starts to work again. This has happen about 3 times so far. So, is my Nexus One dying?
I wouldn't start worrying straight away. I've had this happen once and I think it's caused by a rogue or stuck app that drains the battery. I didn't change any apps after this and haven't had it happen again so I concluded it was a one off. The reason the charging LED didn't appear is probably because the battery was completely dead and simply needed longer to get a decent charge in it.
power button going bad maybe ?

It was 38% charged when it started to work again so it wasn't totally drained.

If it is a bad power button, why didn't it light up when I plugged it to be charged?

Just let it drain below 90%, then when you recharge it will reach 100%. Past 95% it starts to trickle charge

I'm having the same exact issue. How did you end up fixing this?
UPDATE: turns out it was just taking a ridiculously long time to charge from 99% to 100% (almost an hour). I would delete this post by xda wont let me.

It shouldn't. Please don't hack me with your 1337 pr0xy sk1llz
This is normal issue if you just flashed a new Rom. Just use your phone normally and second charge should be more normal.

My HTC one e9 plus is struck at 99%. Its the first time I am charging it. Its in continuous charging mode.
Hi!
I have this phone for one month and three weeks. I notice my phone battery usage seems to drop from 100% to 90% quite quickly, but slows down after that. Another thing, I plug my HTC charger and than plug it out, the battery increases by one percent magically. I plug it back in and than it drops by like 4% or 1%.
For example, I had my phone charged at 98%. I unplug the charger and it increases by 1%, so it is on 99% now. I plug the charger back into the phone and it drops to 95%. I did this again when it charges to 99%, same thing happened.
So can anyone help me out here?
Thank you
Estimating battery charge level is very hard, especially when there is also a current draw from it.
Leave it to charge for longer after it has gone green and stop worrying about it.
as BenPope wrote, leave it for a while with green light..
same happens to me...if i take it immediately once it hit 100%, I will drop to 97% in 5min
i have same problem when device is on while charging

Thank you for the response. I heard that once the led light goes green during charging, I should pull the plug straight away from the phone. Does this help to prevent battery from deteriorating quickly? I know that the phone's lithion battery prevent cases of overcharging, but can it still be subjected to killing the battery life faster. Thank you once again.
don't know about that just thought u could probably try let your battery drain completely and put it on charge after

The One wont let your phone overcharge, as you said, so theres no need to worry about leaving it plugged in.
As others said, eventhough your phone says 100% and the light goes green, this doesnt mean your phones actually topped off. Leave it in for 10 minutes after the light goes green and the quick drop from 100 to 90 that you mentioned will stop occuring. I can verify that this works.

I see. I left the phone charge for 20mins more and it fixed the rapid battery drain issue. Guess I should stop thinking too much about it.
Thank you.
My phone has water damage. I currently have it in a bag of rice to hopefully bring it back to life. After a few hours I plugged it in to see if that would help, and I it had a strange activity. The LED in the phone handset was lit and green. I never rooted it to enable the LED. Any advice would be great!
PS: Sorry if this post is not the most coherent. I am currently very hungover, and having problems functioning. Also, I have no idea how my phone got wet! Happy Sunday to me!
Try a battery reset
The Dirtydee Z3
The led turns on when the battery is so low that the display can't turn on to show that its charging.
Device should turn on after sometime

As @adity said above, the LED turns on when your battery is too low to turn on the screen.
Charge it for some time.

Testing that now. Thanks for the heads up!
Fingers (and toes) crossed!!
You should've let it rest on rice for like one day.
On the good side, the moto x is kind of water proof.

*Update*
The screen is now on and showing 0% battery. It has been plugged in for hours now with no change in level. I was able to get into FastBoot, however any option I choose results in the phone rebooting back to the battery charge level screen.
Thanks for the help!
*Update 2*
I plugged my phone into my cars 2.1 amp charger and after 20min or so it showed 100% battery. The phone booted, however it did not complete and turned off. When it did It read 0% once more. I have tried volume down and power for 3 mins with no result. Any more tips?
* update 3*
I pulled the back over off and held the battery ribbon down. LIFE!! Phone displayed 100% and it was running fine. However, when I removed it from power it shut off immediately.

I thought so too. I let it charge over night while it was cycling the boot screen, and when I awoke it was perfect. Battery 100% and turned on without issue. I understand letting your battery hit 0% is bad, but having it completely malfunction for 24+ hrs is rather poor play on Motorola's behalf.
How do you know that it's moto's fault?
Perhaps there was still some water left in your device?
This took longer to dry and caused the malfunction...
Don't judge so quickly!
I tell you this, because I had a motorola x with the same problem, the solution was to change the battery. Solved, try another battery
Dropping phone in water and having issues after is Moto's fault....? :silly:
I'll add... Water can and usually does wreak havoc on these things. Anything can go wrong after. Usually I'd say move on. Don't waste time or money trying to fix it.
You maybe were lucky. :good: But to suggest it's Moto's fault is crazy. Lol My X has died many times and 30 seconds on the charger and it boots. Anything you experienced was from the water.... Not a defect.

You put your phone in water, then turned it on again after only trying to dry it for a VERY short time. Bit amazing it even worked, and your complaining because it worked but only after drying?
Jesus man.
Pretty sure LIthium Ion batteries don't like going down near zero. Even when your phone says zero% and the phone automatically turns off it still isn't completely discharged.
I've let my nexus 7, and game controllers sit unused for a while. When you try to use them again they need a really long charge before they will work again.
The water probably put a load across the battery and nearly completely discharged it.
I actually just went thru this. I did the old school battery calibration using NeMa's app in the play store. Says to discharge 100%.. Phew lol. I was stressed. I had the same problems as above
Hi
I'm having a weird issue that I can't explain...
Not seven hours ago, I was using my Oneplus 3T just fine but when I woke up this morning... it was completely dead! When I try turning it on it shows the oneplus logo for about 3 seconds and then turns off. Pressing volume up or down to get into the bootloader or recovery does the same exact thing.
When I plug it in, it shows the charging screen but holding the power button does absolutely nothing.
What the hell just happend?
As stupid as this may sound, seems like the battery is totally drained? Charge it up for an hour before using. Gluck.

It ended up being that... my phone was still about 80% when I left it 7 hours ago, certain apps are telling me that it drained about 50% per hour and that's just crazy!

maybe thats why they're sporting dash charge it dies quicker than it charges
Haha good to hear your phone is back in action. Battery drains can be a pain, you just need to see what app caused it .. clear the cache and preferably the data too for that app and see if it still causes damage to battery. If it doesn't fix time to learn to live without that app.
