suddenly death - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys.just want to ask any1 had same problem with me or not?yesterday my phone suddenly death after online fb.but my battery percentage around 26% after i try to on back my phone it show 1 % than i charge back to untill full.2nd time last night i try to restart my phone when my battery have 61% after on back.i had this same problem.i already try check with hidden menu battery health test.everything was fine.what should i do?

I had a similar experience once on PA 6 beta 2. I had forgotten to put my phone on charge one night but my battery was 70 something percent. Woke up next morning and phone was hot and dead. So I used my iPad charger to charge it up fast. Since then I've done lots of resets and wipes of data, including formating system.
First check your govouner setting using your prefered app. Set to Ondemand and see what happens.
Have you you tried factory reseting your phone?
If you're rooted and have recovery just wipe data. If you have the ROM you're on, on you're storage of your phone format system along with wiping data, cache and delvik cache. Then reflash ROM.
Of on stock and boot loader locked use PC Companion or official Sony app for mac I think it's called Bridge something.

[Q] Gingerbread - Android OS taking up MASSIVE battery life, not USB bug-related

After updating to 2.3.3 using COS-DS, my phone seemed to work fine. I initially had a battery drain with nothing taking up large battery usage, so I reset the battery stats and all was well.
However, after unplugging my phone from charging all night (100% upon unplug), I checked my phone two hours later and saw that my charge was down to 22%. Upon checking Battery Usage, I found that Android OS is using 76%! The only thing I've done today was answer a couple SMS messages. I don't have Sync, GPS, or Wifi on, but I do have Mobiledata and 3G+2G on, as well as Background Data. The only widget I have is Google Voice, which I've removed to no avail. I've tried rebooting (twice), but it stays the same. I've turned off data, gone to 2G-only, and turned off background data, and it still continues. In Spare Parts, under Battery history it says that the only thing using up the battery is Suspend in CPU, and Battery Status says that the battery's health is good. Something really strange is that after the initial power-off upon the discovery of this issue, I immediately plugged it into the charger. After about 3 minutes I turned it back on, and found that it's already charged back up to 86%. WHAT.
Also, I haven't plugged it into the computer once in the last few days, so it's not USB-bug related. Any ideas on what's going on here?
EDIT: Ok, it's been a couple hours since this began, but just now I checked the phone (it was on the charger) and suddenly EVERYTHING is gone from the Battery Usage page, save for Display and Android OS, and Android OS is back down to 5% now. Really bloody weird, but the issue seems to have resolved itself.
I've had similar issues. When my battery runs flat, dead. I plug it up and switched it on, and it shown "Charging (32%)". I get different but similar results with different ROMs. It could simply mean the battery is wasted couldn't it?
Have you gone into the Recovery mode and wipe the Battery Status? I was having similiar issue (but not a fast drain), I did maybe about 5 wiped and reboot the phone. My problem seem to go away.
I went from 1 day or less from 100% to having to recharge, to 2 and 1/2 days then charge.
The issue came back later that night, and has been happening ever since.
I've done the bump charge + stats wipe, where I let it charge to 100%, shutdown until green LED, wipe stats, restart, let drain to 0, restart and use. I've tried this about 3 or 4 times, and the issue persists. I've removed my 2 widgets (two sound effects widgets), and it persists.
Also, I've downloaded OS Monitor, and it shows the CPU to be resting at its min, 246.
I'm hoping it's just the battery at this point, and have already ordered another one. I'll let you guys know if that fixes it.
In that case it might be your battery that need to be replace. How old is the battery?
I really have no idea. I bought this G1 used on eBay 9 months ago.
2 things to note:
1. It actually stopped booting last night even while on the charger: I restarted, and it kept getting stuck on the splash image. So I superwiped, reflashed, and the drain is still there even with no user-installed apps.
2. About a month ago, (when I was back on a stable Froyo, which I had been on since I got the phone 9 months ago) it started to randomly shut off. It seemed like if it got just a little too hot (battery got to maybe 30 C, never was able to check what the temp was when this happened), it would shut down and wouldn't get past the boot screen without a reset. I had to either charge it or wait an hour for it to successfully boot again.
In retrospect, this is sounding more and more like the battery. The only thing that's strange is that Android OS takes up such high percentage. Oh well, hopefully the new battery gets here today or tomorrow, hopefully that fixes everything.
Since you have brought the G1 9 months ago, more than likely it's had been over two year or more (about the same age as mine more or less). I doubt that the seller would be giving you a brand new battery.
I noticed the reboot on mine G1 too. Ever so often, my G1 will reboot on me. But I do not have the problem getting stuck at the splash or boot screen. But then I am using the SuperAosp ROM not Froyo.
Let me know how the new battery will work out, I might have to end up getting it myself. Eventhough my battery life got better after I did the wipe battery status, sometime it still drain depending on the day I guess.
I noticed the same result with COSDS.
I moved to Ginger Yoshi with much better results.
Better, but not as good as stock, obviously.
COSDS turned into a real hog on me by the time the second or third reboot happened.
Heeter
I'll stay with SuperAosp, I take the performance over the battery life any day. My battery status an't that bad. Once in the while I used it up in a day or less, other I can stick around for a few days.
The rebooting part was not too bad on my end. Just once in a while. Nothing I can't handle.
@ psychosonic - You might want to try that if you want, Gingerbread Yoshi was one of my first choice before I found what I had.
Alright, got my battery. After calibrating it for one day, then using it today post-calibration, it's functioning phenomenally. After using wifi + internet for a period of time, and sms throughout the day, it's still at 70% 6 hours after charge. Essentially, the only thing that drains the battery is heavy internet use, which seems to make it go down 1% per 2 or 3 minutes.
Internet usage seem to take a lot out of the battery for sure. I know mine take a lot more than 1% every 2 or 3 mins when I use my internet.
Let see how will the new battery pan out. See if it will last you 2 or more days. Keep using it as such, and see where it goes.
Android OS Battery bug
Hi!
1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.
2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.
3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.
At this point you can try the following;
- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)
- Remove your external SD card.
- Start up your phone again.
- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Unmount SD card
- Format SD card
- Restore files from your backup.
If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;
- Backup your data first!!!
- Settings -> SD card & phone storage
- Format internal storage
- Restore files from your backup.
More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.
I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

How?
The phone is not new. Been no this Rom for about a week
I used this quide and all OK...
After the update:
In recovery mode, select options Wipe data/factory reset and also you need to select Wipe Cache partition and also you need to select the option of “Clear Dalvik Cache” after which you need to reboot your device by selecting reboot system now after which all the cache files will get deleted.
You already tried calibrating the battery? And when you install a new ROM you generally have to wait a few days for the battery reaches its normal duration.
the best battery life i have ever had was on MIUI. It was like two days ... no problem. i heard for some guys it was even up to four days.
you are on a gingerbread bootloader, so its no problem to flash MIUI with a *.zip file in recovery. just search the forum here for a good version.
to do:
-glitch kernel
-download a governor ("conservative" or "ondemand")
-two apps from the market: CPU tuner, CPU spy
-search for tutorials for CPU tuner
=> fixed your problems
if you have flashed yout rom with your battery not fully charged, you have to calibrate your battery
And also doing 3-4 full charge
yes, u need to do full discharge recharge cycles 2-3 times... wipe battery stats after that from recovery mode on full 100% charge.
Hope this helps
I have two phones. Both running same Rom but i only use one phone. The other i charge the battery in
only just had to do that since the update.
So the batterys are always fully discharged and recharge.
I didn't know about calibrating the battery ill look into that now.
Thanks for the advice.
Just calibrated the battery fingers crossed this work. Half a day for a phone to last is poor.
Was thinking this is like the iphone
when you guys have fully charged your phones and you go into better status how many how's does it say it has left.
Is it random?
Mine says 40 hours
edit lol now it says 7 mins 40 seconds but battery is still full

You still didn´t gave the time battery needs to settle down. In a couple of days you will see that battery will again last for 2 days easly.
For a better rom that you ask on the first post find it on i9000 development forum. There you have roms with different specs. Choose and test them for yourself and see wich fits you best.
I should say for you to test the Hybrid.

Turning off most app synchronizing (settings » account & synchronisation settings) is making a big difference as well, at least to me. Just disable automatic synchronisation (keep background synchronisation on), and turn it off for all apps. Saves me quite some hours of battery. I'm assuming the update reset all your synchronisation to ON. I'm never using the word synchronisation again, pfft.
hello koooowweeee
Try BatteryCalibration (market) or.
1. Connect the charger to the phone while it is on, and let the load be up to 100%.
2. Unplug the charger and turn off the phone.
3. Reconnect the charger while the phone is off, and leave the task until it shows 100% again.
4. Unplug the charger, then turn the phone, wait for it to boot completely, then turn it off
5. Reconnect the phone to the charger (always off) and wait until it returns to 100%.
6. Disconnect the charger, turn on the phone with flight-+ power to access the Recovery.
Once in recovery, go to Advanced, and make a Wipe Battery Stats, then reboot the phone.
or flash CM7 7.0.2 Kang!
@ +
Well been using my phone all day and battery has lasted so far. Its on 13% now which is better than it was
ill try the method above tomorrow morning and see if that's better
the guide i seen on here was to charge battery to 100% then take the charger out and battery for 90 seconds then put it back in.
Seems to have worked

[Q] [RESOLVED] Battery stuck at 100% permanently after CM11 install

Hi
I I recently installed CM11 on my HP Touchpad. Previously it was running an ancient build of CM9 from way back when, so, having not used it in ages, I decided to upgrade. Prior to installing CM11, everything was working ok. I tested the tablet to make sure the battery and everything else was working, all seemed ok. I then charged the device from 70% to a full charge. Here was what I did:
1. I ran TPToolbox v42, and chose the Complete Data Reset option (I had no intention of ever using WebOS again, so it seemed like the fitting choice, also I thought a fresh start would also be a good idea).
2. I chose install Android, and copied the following files to my device, once my PC mounted it:
-cm-11-20150113-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip
-update-PhilZ_CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612.zip
-pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150125-signed.zip
3. The device then rebooted into recovery, and successfully flashed the ROM and gapps, and within minutes I was running CM11 and everything seemed to be ok. I noticed that through the entire process, both TPToolbox and recovery were reporting a 100% charge. At the time, I thought nothing of it as I previously charged it to 100%.
Now, the device reports the battery at 100%, at all times. When I plug it in the wall charger, it says "charged" on the lock screen. I have rebooted the device 4-5 times, booted into recovery, booted into TPToolbox and performed the battery firmware update, installed BMW and tried wiping stats, among every other troubleshooting I know how to do, and I'm stumped. BMW says that the battery is averaging about -8ma while in deep sleep, so it looks like it isn't a bad battery. I have been searching the web for others who've encountered this, with a few people reporting this issue over the past few years with no posted fix. All I can say is that I doubt it's an issue with the ROM as it's a clean install, and the issue is persisting in both recovery and in the TPToolbox. So I doubt re-installing will fix it...?
Does anyone have any advice to give me? Thanks in advance.
Edit: Booted back into the TPToolbox and did another Complete Data Reset, then created WebOS volumes. Ran WebOS doctor 3.05 and was able to get back into WebOS. Left the tablet overnight and now the battery shows 97%. Strange part about all of this was, even after a wipe and a fresh Android install with 2-3 hours of screen on time doing heavy tasks such as installing apps and testing apps, and another wipe and fresh WebOS install with over an hour of screen on time doing heavy tasks, the battery still read 100% before I went to bed! I installed Dr Battery (preware app) and it says my battery health is good. Still, I'm gonna do a few charge cycles before re-installing Android.
But... I don't want to go back to web OS
I flashed kit Kat a while back, and everything was good. But for the last month, this thing has been sitting with an empty battery. Then I got it charged and left it on the charger while I was out of town for the last week. Now I've been using this thing for 2 hours, and it says I'm fully changed. I really don't want to go back to web OS if I can help it.
Any wisdom for me (besides I shouldn't be so mean to this battery)?
Edit: the problem fixed itself out. Just took a couple hours of screen on time. Actually lasted 4 days on a single charge.

Battery keeps changing % every reboot? o.O

Hi guys !
Yesterday I flashed the Nougat update and everything got fine (no issues at all and battery is wonderful) until my phone shut down at 19% battery. I rebooted the phone after charging up by pressing Power button for some secs in recovery by selecting Bootloader Logs (googled and one user said you can get correct battery % after rebooting like that). It worked for me one time so I tried to use my phone from 100% to 0% battery and everything went smoothly. But then when I charged it a bit (about 5-7 minutes) and tried to boot the battery said to be at 57%, then 35% after I rebooted one more time (which are both impossible since I only charged it for 5-7 mins).
I then rebooted using the bootloader logs method and it worked saying that battery was at 9% (seems much more fair to me).
So everything is stock and I really don't know what to do! I also tried to install TWRP to flash another kernel but seems that TWRP custom recovery is not permanent (flashed and everything is fine but after a reboot recovery went back to stock).
Any known fix??? Should I do something to recalibrate the battery? I don't really have an idea of how to fix that!! Help me please!
EDIT: Wiped cache partition another time and tried to reboot three times getting the same (I guess this time is right) battery %.
Maybe the battery needed to be calibrated another time? Now I will try to get my phone normally to 0% until it shuts down and then charge it back to 100% and see if the issue represents another time. What could that have been?

Phone won't show battery discharging??

Hi all,
After flashing Beta 8 two days ago something weird happened, my phone showed it was on 42% charge for the whole afternoon even after heavy usage and all of a sudden I turned off and said battery was too low so I had to leave it for some 5 minutes charging before it could turn on again.
Yesterday it would not charge even when it was turned off so I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and it started charging without any other issues, today however it is stuck at 38% after I've been watching videos for more than an hour and still in 38%.
See attached for some visual...
It will turn off eventually and I hope I turned back on, I just want to know whether any of you guys are experiencing issues after beta 8 or this is just an isolated issue or maybe a defective phone. I did not have any other issues before .
FIXED
Ok so last night I just cleared cache, dirty flashed Beta 8 again, cleared cache again and the phone is up to normal again.
No clue on what happened though...

Had the same opposite problem the first night I flashed OB8, wouldn't show charging or act like it even though it was. I didn't have to do a dirty flash though, one reboot and everything has been back to normal since
