Sudden battery discharge upon unplug - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all, i've been having a battery calibration issue and it's getting worse, earlier whenever i charged my phone to 100 and unplugged it, it dropped to 97% or 95% but now when i take it off the charger at 100, it drops to 89% within a matter of minutes, even if i keep it plugged in for an additonal 30-40 minutes, the same happens, i'm on stock ROM , unrooted, with stock recovery, everything is stock , i have read a few threads stating that wiping cache from stock recovery can solve the problem but i'm unsure, i've been told by someone that there are various answers and opinions about this, should i wipe cache from stock recovery? can it help? even if it can't help, it wont do any harm to my phone, will it? thanks in advance

wiping cache only, wont harm your phone / OS... don't know if it will help or not though.

I just wiped cache from stock recovery, my battery level was 75% but when I booted into Rom after cache wipe, it showed 81%, I think my battery percentage has started to show actual and accurate battery level now , I think it's now showing the battery loss difference that occurs between 90-100%, I'll let you know of the result after I recharge next time

CM10 won't shut down or display battery properly

My sincerest apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I've searched high and low in Google and XDA without result.
I recently rooted my P3 and then flashed CM10. Took me a few goes (first time 3G wasn't working etc.), but each time I factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing. I eventually got it working just fine, except for the battery not displaying properly. It always said it was charging, even when it wasn't, and it wouldn't charge to 100%, instead stopping at 99%. I used the battery calibration mod, and tried to wipe the battery stats via CWM recovery, but to no avail.
Other than that, and the auto rotation flipping to the opposite side you turn (I understand this is a known bug), everything was running smoothly so I decided to do a backup via CWM recovery. Once everything was completed I booted back up. It all was working as it had before, until I tried to power down. The screen went black, but shortly the Samsung Galaxy splash screen came on and it booted up again. I tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, wiping battery stats, but it still will not stay powered down. The only exception is when I have it plugged in and charging, then it will stay on the battery charging animation instead of rebooting.
Any help would be much appreciated. I really don't want to have to revert to base CWM after tasting the awesomeness of CM10!

Which version are you using? It was a known bug in an older ROM, which should have been fixed in the newer ones.
Using the 20120816 version that I got from the link in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803593
I've also had this problem for awhile, with several different ROM's.
Does fastboot work for you? Cause it doesn't for me, but not sure if related.

Are you using the correct recovery? Not sure that you would be able to get as far as you if it were wrong but ...
I caused myself heartache at some point as a result of using the wrong recovery. It gave my weird results too. I am other 16 Aug ROM and I find it pretty damn good.
Here is the right one

I got the recovery from the same thread I linked above, so pretty sure it was the right one. Just to be sure I downloaded and flashed the one you linked with Odin, but it's made no difference. However, I have (finally) had success in getting the battery to charge to 100%. I kept wiping the battery stats every time I booted up, and powered it down while plugged in and left it on charge when I wasn't using it. After a couple of days (with it on and off charge) it finally said it was fully charged when I powered it on. I have used the battery calibration app with it at 100%, so hopefully it shall begin indicating properly, although it still says it's charging all the time, and the charging animation when it is powered down does not indicate its actual charge level.
As for it not powering down when it's not plugged in... I am still new to rooting and ROMs, but would it be of help if someone who has no problems powering down uploaded their kernel and I flashed that?

Re-download the lastest ROM and flash it; the latest ROM does not have that problem.

Where would I get that ROM from? The latest one from the link above at the Droid basement is the 16th August version I already have.

I would recommend you re-download and re-flash it, since others (myself included) have no such problem with that version.
Didn't work. Redownloaded, reflashed, same problem. I even tried to unroot it so that I could flash it all again fresh, but somewhere along the way something has gone wrong. Odin is not working anymore. I can transfer files to and from my tablet, the computer still recognises it when plugged in, and Odin recognises the USB connection too, but if I try to flash something with it, it always says it is unable to open the COM port.
Tried this many different ways, with different roms, nothing seemed to work. Finally, tried AOKP milestone 6 (based on CM9) and it works perfectly. Go figure...

Busted note?

So,
My partners note is running CleaNote v4, with NoteCore v13 standard. Today, after shutting off Automatically through empty battery, she plugged the phone in for half hour and tried turning it back on. ever since.. its simply not starting, the boot screen is active but not proceeding beyond it for anything up to an hour.
and therefore..
ive tried the usual, let it charge full, nothing. wiped dalvic, cache and battery stats.. nadda.
when i choose to wipe dalvic now however, i get the message .. E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
im hoping its not as serious as it looks, ive searched it and there doesnt seem to be a solid solution anywhere, should i just factory reset?
ive reflashed CleaNote v4 via CWM.. been booting again.. for a long, long time.
afraid im all out of options, factory reset? flash stock rom and return to sammy?
You can do factory reset as you are on safe Kernel OR you can try flashing some other custom rom using cwmr, but best way is to flash stock GB rom using odin.
I agree with the post above.. but better try to go first to CWM, wipe cache partition, wipe data, wipe dalvik cache, reboot recovery and reboot system... if the phone's still stuck on 'Samsung's' bootlogo... then go to the last option of downgrading to Sammy's Stock GB and work your way up again to flash CleanNote after.
Oi
Cheers fellas,
Sorted it, just a factory reset fixed it.. still get the same error message in CWM when wiping dalvic.. BUT..
restored the wifeys ice age village save from nandroid backup before i wiped.. my nuts are safe, so are her ingame nuts!
i flash my note every few days, and face the odd hiccup, hers has never had a single hiccup on the trusty CleaNote/NoteCore combination..wonder what caused it? thanks anyway!
I read somewhere before that you shouldn't run your battery juice out completely... Always leave a little juice out and charge it back again to full. Never leave it to run dry... Li-Ions are not designed to be completely drain out.. with a small juice left, you need to recharge it back again. It's not good for the battery itself to leave it completely drained.

Battery drain on my Note after flashing XXLS7 rom

Hi,
I recently flashed my XXLS7 ROM and while doing so, I was asked to wipe battery stats too, after then I see that my battery % is getting reduced drastically and the worst is that whenever I am in normal mode it shows me 75% but after getting into recovery mode it shows 55% or so. Now I am completely confused whether 100% is actually 100% or not. Any ideas on how to get this problem rectified?
Thanks in advance.
may be you need to do a clean install of the rom again.
use format/system and format /data this time

Thanks, I have tried that option too, but still no help..........
Be patient
Mine was discharging like crazy when media scanner was doing its thing -- just keep a charger handy and stick it on when it gets low. Eventually it should sort itself out.
boot into recovery and wipe battery stats again.. then charge the phone to 100 % and test again.
I had this problem in almost every xxls7 ROM... I tried everything, literally EVERTHING.... i made 3 wipes, format preload format system etc etc... Result is DEVICE IDLE eats battery... I CAN NOT figured out which causes this... But finaly, SweetROM solve the problem... I do not know how but it solved... I tried RR3, Alliance and Stock xxls7... All of them causes battery drain for me but i do not know if it is a problem of all... Anyway, just in case you can try Sweet ROM... At least it does not cause drain when you do not use it...
I have this problem too..
Nokia 3210 with PA Utacka
after restarting the phone go to settings>application>all>media storage and stop it.
on every bootup, media storage process consumes %5-10 battery to scan media files.
you can disable it but the gallery wont work.
you can use Quickpic instead.

[Q] [XPERIA T] Incorrect % battery indicator [SOLVED]

Hi,
I have the Xperia T, my battery indicator % remain 100% after use, when i power off my device and turn on again the battery have a big fall (to 70-80% deppend of hours of use) and over time it turns to 100% without charge, its crazy. It happens in T_Hybrid_V17 but not happens from beggining of install the ROM... one day suddenly occurs...
My bootloader is locked, the phone is rooted and ROM is stock based with a CWM for locked bootloader.
Ok, I read about the problem, i have not the option of wipe battery stats in my CWM, i read about "battery calibration" and installed and followed instructions of apk "battery calibration", dont works for me... I manually do the same process... i deleted the batterystats.bin at 100% charge... let the device power off on discharge... charge again to 100% and let it discharge... it dont works for me...
Well... i think ok... there are a new ROM with another Kernel included... new CWM included in XDA I try to change from JB 4.1.2 to JB 4.3 Ultimate Pure XT 4.0... and later OTA 4.1 and 4.2 well, the problem changes... is similar but not same... I do it "the calibration" and try the same as past... the new problem is... battery 100% and after a lot of use maybe it drops in real time to... maybe 97% ok... power off and on... 76% I use the device the bateery lvl drops to 73% after time and still there, it dont go up to 100% this is the difference, but the battery dont drop in real time correctly I attach an image of battery graphic. What can i do? i read similar problems on other devices, like SGSII, that is solved with "wipe battery stats" in CWM but my new CWM included in Pure XT (touch Philz 6.X) still not having this option in advanced...
I have Xposed installed now, but not when problem begin, i dont know what more to do. The battery duration appears to be correct but the % is not real.
I search in XDA forums about it, i see "solutions" on other devices, I read and read, but dont work for me.
Sorry for my english, i hope that you can understand this.
EDIT: SOLVED
-------------------
The problem was a hardware issue. I leave it in a technichal assistance , and they repaired it in 2 weeks, a main board problem, new mainboard and new IMEI... solved.
Have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik from recovery?

Yep. Everytime I installed/uptated ROM.
And when install a new ROM also made a "factory reset" from CWM. :/
No, I thought to reboot to recovery now and clean just cache and dalvik cache.

If you are on root and have a recovery like CWM installed, then boot to recovery, then go to advanced and there must be an option to clear battery stats or something (I don't remember exactly ). You must do this only when you have kept your phone switched off and then charged it to 100%. Then only do it, then it would clean the junk battery data and recalibrate battery.
If the same issue persists, "your battery may be faulty".
If you are not rooted, then I am sorry, I am not aware of any solution if there is any.
Press thanks if I helped. :good:

Try killing your phone to dead battery 2-3 times and then full charge in one go and then repeat it
Last trick in my bag of tricks
Charge it through twrp/cwm. If not rooted, you could try getting into that *#*#menu thing and try those battery options, i think i saw something there that might help
