[Q] Battery level issues - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Battery can be at 90% in a blink of an eye drop to the point of a warning pop up showing 1 percent battery life, then shuts off.
If I plug it in battery level is back up where it should be.
Sometimes shutting it off for a few minutes & restarting battery level comes back up or just plug it in, level jumps right back up then unplug it, level stays up.
This problem has been going on for awhile, at first it was just hit & miss, more of minor annoyance, but now it is a royal pain in the behind.
As long as I am where I can plug it in for a minute or so I can still use the tablet. Kind of hard to do when reading at the gym though
I am running CM 11 on it, but I don't really think this is what the problem is since I have been CM 11 since it first came out & this problem started about 2-3 months ago. I tried wiping the whole system & started over with nothing but the bare minimum on the tablet & issue with battery level was still present.
Somebody my wife works with had this same issue with their Nook HD+, but luckily his was still under warranty and B&N replaced it.
I don't have that option.
Any ideas on fix for this issue other than buy another tablet?
Help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Mark

I would've bought a new tablet 2-3 months ago. lol ...Unfortunately, mine keeps on going.
If you really want to see if its hardware, then try stock bn rom and check for issue.
You could also try full power discharge to full charge (several times) and see if it helps. I would try the bn rom first though as that's the most drastic difference.
And if it gives up on you along the way, c'est la vie.

Yeah I would have bought a new one 3 months ago, but takes money, due to health reasons something I do not have.
Tablet actually other then the battery issue works great.
Thanks for your suggestions though.
I was just curious if anyone else has come across this issue & any possible solutions.
Sorry to have taken up your time.

I solved this problem. To do this, disconnect and reconnect the battery cable. Now the battery is discharged smoothly. Battery life 8-10 hours

Works sometimes doing this other times doesn't.
Problem seems to be getting worse.
In the beginning doing what worked for you would take care of it, but not any more.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

I had similar issue back in March. I read somewhere that it is battery cable connection/cold-solder problem. I opened up my nook and unplug/re-plug in the battery cable, didn't work. And then I taped a few layers of TP on top of the connector so that the back cover of the nook is supporting the connector. The battery discharge was back to normal since, but unfortunately it started to happen again last week.

I had the same problem, with battery charge level appearing to fluctuate wildly. In the end, I fixed it by doing a full discharge followed by a full recharge.
You can't do a full discharge while running the normal ROMs, because they will shut down the Nook automatically when the charge level starts to get low. Instead, run a CWM ROM and let it sit until the Nook dies for lack of power. Then plug in the battery cable and leave it until the charge level returns to 100%. In my case that took quite a few hours.
Since doing that, I haven't had any repeats of the problem.

That is a bad idea the Nook does not like to recharge once it has been drained to that point.

I am running CyangenMod 11 & battery drops from 100% to 1% whenever it feels like it. Plug it in for a second & level shoots back up to were it should be for a while then it does it all over again.
If the rom you are talking about is what I have installed I have tried & tried to run the battery completely down, but it is impossible.
Long as I have charging cable handy to plug it in things are fine.
Thanks for the suggestion.

My Nook HD+ too have this problem after updating to Snapshot11 OTA. Currently it is unusable without the cable being connected to the power. Also have the ghost click/automatic click problem, where the touch events automatically registered without me even touching the screen. Waiting for the Snapshot 12 and hope that this will be corrected in the update.

Mine has been doing it for awhile, just seems to be getting worse. If it is a rom issue I wish it would get fixed.
I am running the 10-24 nightly. This is the same release I am using on my wife's Nook HD & she is not having this issue.
Not seeing the auto click issues.

I was talking about CWM, not CyanogenMod. CWM is the ROM you use for making backups and installing Cyanogen in the first place. CWM will let you run the battery down to a very low level.

It was probably confusing because CWM isn't a ROM, it's a recovery. If we get our terms and definitions right we will be more easily understood.
Not trying to pick a fight, just pointing out that communication is easier when we all have the same jargon.

I know what the terms mean. I just was tired & made a very simple mistake in my reply.
I know that CWM is recovery I have used it plenty of times for the past 2 years since I have owned my Nook HD.
My only mistake with terms & definitions was replying & answering a question when i should have been sleeping.
Want to pick a fight, bring it own! Just kidding you. I only do that in person, not behind a screen. Been a few years, but what the heck.
OK back to the topic at hand. Doing a full discharge in CWM recovery, didn't seem to do the trick. Tried unhooking battery & rehooking no go there either.
I do not believe it is a rom issue, since my wife works with a guy who had the same issue with his Nook that had the B&N setup still intact.
rom.
Plus I am running the same rom on my wife's Nook HD problem free.
Once again thank you very much for the suggestion I really do appreciate it.

Didn't work

Seems to be others with this issue. I have tried removing battery cable, doing a complete battery drain in recovery, then full recharge. Problem is still there.
I am almost tempted to revert back to stock rom & see if problem goes away, but seems to be a bit tricky with the newer CWMrecovery installed.
Have gone through so many threads on reverting back to stock, I am more confused now then before.
I know I can't restore stock with the version of CWM that I have, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to revert back to the older version of CWM recovery, so I can flash the stock img.
I have the links for the dummies guide and I am sure what I am looking for is there, but as was mentioned here before I need to get with the program & use correct terms and the more I read this the more confused it makes me.

[SOLVED] Incorrect Battery Values

This seems to be quite a common and somewhat obscure at the same time.
Many people have reported installing a new rom or even just powering up their phone and seeing a battery % much different from what they expect. Most often much lower than it should be. Evidently this corrects itself after some time but it's a real problem if your display reads <15% because you really have to plug it in then, even with you know you have 90% battery!
So, here's the solution after testing it under different circumstances over a few days:
Simply boot your phone when it is not plugged in to a power source and battery % will be accurate.​
That simple. Silly LG!
So, if you flash a new rom, unplug the USB cable before you reboot...
Hit 'Thanks' below for the 50 reboots I did to prove this...
hehehe jups allready figured that out on myself tho haha. But indeed that's kinda silly of LG

What about every time I use a custom rom the battery % indicator jumps right down to 90-95% when unplugging from charger ? Do you have a solution for that ?

Sorry to say the same..
Even while charging with the phone shut down, pulling it off the charger and then booting this happens. On my phone I have experienced it on all MCR's.
It's really not a big deal as long as the battery performs as Stock 10b, that build has been stable batterywise on my phone. But staying stock isn't too much fun
Well, every time I charge, whether I reboot/shut down before unplugging or not, my charge always maxes out at 96%.
Annoying and I'd like it sorted if at all possible.
Anyone?..........lol

ye i got that exact same issue i was wondering why that was happening and hoped that a simple reboot would fix it but its a bit more complicated than that i suppose...
also the battery reset in cwm didnt fix the loading till 97% w/e percentage.
when i install the stock rom it allows me to load it till 100% though pretty weird stuff -.-

I had a replacement netbook battery that could only max to 90%. So, over the weekend, I practically drained it to 0% (not a healthy practice for Li-ion batteries but I was desperate). Took out the battery for a while, and then recharged for several hours. Well, it seems to get up to 100% now.
Perhaps you could try using the the phone until it very low on battery before recharging. Maybe the charging process in the phone needs some sort of recalibration. But should not be doing this all the time as it will reduce Li-ion battery longevity.
Let mine totally die last night so it wouldn't even turn on at all. Took out and replaced battery and then charged it overnight and hey-presto, when I unplugged it this morning, it stayed at 100%.
Solved indeed....for me anyway. Feel free to try the same and post your results.

I'll be sure to try your tip man. But not easy drain it completely when I always need the phone :=)
I guys! I've got the same problem.
I think that it could depend on the "full battery popup FIX" that Paul introduced in his roms by the FR8.
So I would like to ask Paul if you can create a patch to remove that fix. Just to try it!
According to me, incorrect battery amount depend on a wrong voltage read error (offset introduced?) by the rom. :blink:
In my case, I have followed many times battery wype procedure without positive issue. The matter leaves only by flashing original roms.
I think that if Paul have written a wrong battery values range (to delete the battery full popup) that can be traduced in an incorrect battery status displays.

It was occurring before Paul introduced that change unfortunately...
After I wrote here, I registered a premium account to Paul's from modaco site and toke a custom fr12 rom without "battery full popup remove patch". Now I'm going to sleep and plugin the 2x to charge. Tomorrow I'll write here if is that the solution...

Perhaps, but you can not conclude it was introduced by MCR. You logic is wrong there.
Even without "battery full popup fix" it doesn't work good...
Battery level, when unpluged, stay at 100% for 2 minutes afterwards drop down fast until 85% then drain normally...
I'm getting huge battery display problems no matter what I do.
When I took it off the charger this morning, it said I had 100%... thats fair enough. However it stayed at 100% all day, so to "refresh" it this evening I restarted the phone, and low and behold it now says I have 27% left. But again, it's just sticking at that value, even with me now plugging the phone into the wall to charge. It simply says "Charging (27%)" and won't budge, likely until I restart the phone again.
Sometimes it works fine, it seemed to be doing ok last night before I put it on the charger. Any tips/suggestions? Is this something likely to be fixed when the Gingerbread update rolls around?
This is my first real smartphone, and am fairly annoyed as its giving me a fair few problems that I've not had from other electronic devices.
As I stated in another thread, I had the same issue while on MoDaCo Fr12. However, after reverting back to stock, the battery percentage is spot-on and I'm getting up to 48 hours use out of it.
Draw your own conclusions.

That sounds super, but I'm still on stock too. About the only things of note I've done are root and switching to Launcher Pro. Oh, and Clockwork Mod of course. Perhaps a complete reboot is needed, we'll see how it goes.
Saying that - since charging, my phone has been at 90% all evening, until right this moment when it changed to 89%. It's less than I'd expect on this type of phone for 3-4 hours use (or lack thereof, I've barely touched it), but it's a start eh?
Welcome to the world of smartphones my friend. I've had various handsets over the last 4 years from iphone to android and a day and a half out of the battery is about average......at best. ;-)
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Just to clarify, what I meant in my previous post was that I was expecting to battery to drop a lot more than it did. The fact that it only went down 1% in several hours of use prompted me to think that the battery value was messed up.
As it is, I've not charged my phone in the 36 hours since, and it tells me I have 73% battery left. Perhaps it is performing extremely well after all? If that's the case then I'm more than happy with it, but being the pessimist I'm still expecting the phone to turn off sometime with the battery reporting incorrect values.

hi guys, i'm getting really pissed off right now
i''ve got my phone for 3 months now and it worked like charm till the last month
every time my phone shutdown randomly , and when i restart it, my battery level is under the 10%
even if i charge it the whole night till 100%, after i use it a few minutes it shutsdown and the battery will be very low.
sometimes it doesn't even turn on anymore.
i can't use my phone now only when its charging because it doesn't shutdown then.
I've tried everything that i could think of, i've recalibrated the battery , installed different roms but i got the problem with every rom.
i've even tried it with a ics rom but still got the same problem
someone please help me

Well yes I'm going to try a different battery soon but the odd thing is after my battery charge seems to drop down to 5% or so, it starts charging to about its original charge level without a charger connected. So it's basically 80%->drop to 5%->charge back to 60% without charger.
i'll try now to do a hard reset, go back to stock rom, then reinstall an costum rom,
will tell you if it works!

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I charge my battery to full and it starts draining normally. Then, when around 30-80% battery remaining, it turns off. It only turns off when you use it for a while, when the screen is off it stays on normally. After rebooting it turns off within a minute or so. This continues for a few reboots with the battery level remaining roughly the same. Eventually after a few boots it shows 3-4% of battery, after which I of course have to charge. Also tried calibrating and tried different roms but it still remains. I ALSO SWAPPED MY BATTERY WITH A FRIEND BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! It worked like a charm for him but I still got turn offs with his battery.
If i were you Guys, i would install stock rom and hand in my phone under warranty ( of course if you still have it ). Because if this occurs even when u swap battery, let samsung play with you phone then
Its not your battery..restore your phone to the way it was and give it to samsung
i'm getting pissed of now, even with the stock rom it randomly shutsdown.
i don't have any warrenty so i can't give it back to samsung
In case anyone's still wondering, in my case it did turn out to be a fried battery. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues I was, just check your battery to see whether or not it is swollen. If it's bigger than it should be, that probably means it's fried and you should replace it. I'm happily running custom roms without any trouble again now, and battery life is awesome!

Sorry Rajito, but you are having a serious problem, i think the motherboard is the problem, my friend had the same problem with his I9000 S simple. You shoud go to a service !
Hi guys,
I also have this problem, my phone randomly turns off and when I turn it on, it shows much less remaining battery percentage than before. (please see attached image) After turning on the value is increasing, sometimes from ~5% to 30-40% or more...
Now I have CM10 Jelly Bean flashed, but CM9 did the same sometimes but much more rarely than on JB. Today the phone 'died' three times until noon.

Yeah that's the exact same problem I had. In my case it turned out to be a fried battery, see if it's swollen or not, if you lay your battery on a table it should stay still and not wobble around. If the battery's not flat but swollen that means your battery is fried. In this case good news because you can easily replace it

unfortunately it is absolutely not swollen, its fully flat :\
besides this I put out the battery now and put it back and it is showing only 2% percent of battery so maybe my battery is wrong

From the past 2 days im trying to install CM10,9, 10.1..... after installation it shuts down itself. Not able to use it.
Is there any way around to make this work. If pics are needed i can provide that too.
Thanks
No reply... :/
Some one should have had an issue.

When/how does it happen?
What are the changes/mods you made?
Did you restore anything?
Did you try different kernel settings?
Did you try flashing a different kernel (like Semaphore?) or flashing a different ROM?
I could be asking more questions but really, I dunno what causes it, I can only guess. Also a search in the CM10.1 thread might give you an answer to your SoD <-- Should've been your first step*

It just happened, battery temp too high errors, thought flashing CM9 would solve this, was bored of Stock Gingerbread, flashed corn kernel & flashed cm9 rom. I did mod anything else. That all

Battery temp to high is a big problem. Did you overcloak? Have you running bunch of stuff at the same time?
When it shuts down, does it reboot by itself or you have to do it manually?

Sounds like Battery health status does not equal healthy. That forces an immediate shutdown, whether due to temperature or excessive internal resistance. That's because once a Li ion battery reaches critical temperature, it combusts and destroys your phone, burns you and anything around it, etc.
GET ANOTHER BATTERY ASAP.
Stop trying to circumvent high temperature shut down.

Recently i bought a new battery, original samsung make, it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high". No overclocking here, just used to call, receive & wifi hotspot. Currently i charge battery in a battery charger & use it in phone.
U pointed out something right, sometimes screen just goes blank, i have to manually switch it on.

I bought a new battery & it states the same thing "charging paused for battery durability" sometimes "Charging stopped battery temps high".
But im not able to under stand, why is Cynogenmod shuts down itself after installation, can i just stop shutting down ?

I think it's not CM related but hardware related. Does this happen when not using the wifi hotspot too?
I'm thinking your battery is bad (even if new), charger is bad, connection is bad (maybe from water/humidity) or that your usb port is bad. No easy way of finding it other than testing.

May be yes, the phone some times just goes blank, i have to manually switch ON. The same battery works well in my frnds phone quite well.
Port dont know, i can copy files no errors even now when i plug it in on stock gingerbread the battery doesnt charge but can copy files as before.
Since the batt works well in other phone, a couple of ideas. Perhaps silly to ask, but just checking:
did you wipe battery stats in cwm after flashing?
did you clean the phone's battery terminals with a bit of alcohol?
what's the battery health,temperature and voltage history look like, if you can get it. you can log it with battery monitor widget or similar app. set to short 1 minute interval for testing.

[Solution] Flickering screen, poor battery backup, sudden discharge [n7000, Note]

A month or so back I started facing weird problems with my year old Galaxy Note, n7000:
1. After reboot, the battery would go down by 15-20% and then without charging the battery %age would gradually increase by 5-10%
2. lots of flickering on screen followed by auto shutdown whenever the battery %age went below 15-20% after normal usage
3. Very poor battery backup (I blamed most of this to the Rom Mods I had been installing at that time- only partially correct!)
I am sure that many of you might have been facing such problems and running from forum to forum to get a solution- I did.
Solution:
Get your battery replaced- most of us have had our Note for a year and some months now...life of the battery is approx 1 year for regular use, thus, the stock battery that we got with our Note is well past....
I never faced the above problems after battery replacement!
Hope this helps others like me!!
I started having this problem after getting a new battery, my old battery which was weak never showed flickering. But this new one which is original samsungs battery at below 15% show flickering and sudden discharge despite a good battery time.

I'm on the very same situation. Battery that cames with NOTE is exhausted now so I have got a new one just to find out now problem is even worse!! It can begin flickering with 40% juice battery!
The new replacement battery seems to be 100% samsung's original but... who knows??

I got rid of the damn problem after getting new ones...Is it possible that the batteries you bought are not genuine/fake?
Which ROM are you on- the Stock one or some mod-rom?
When I was searching for a solution to my battery issues some members suggested battery-calibration and full charge-full discharge cycle to get rid of the problem. Both the solutions suggested at that time did not work for me.
There was also a solution about cleaning the mini-USB connector which gets seriously dirty collecting grime from our pant pockets! That did work for me initially when the battery was good.
Please let me know if any of the above helps you.

Guys - Me too have the same issue, but this started immediate after updating the Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It never happened while on official ICS.
I could observe the battery is very much thick now, which is a symptom of over charging. The screen flickers and brings phone down abnormally.
After connecting the charger for a 5 seconds, suddenly the battery level shoots to original state from where it went down. Most frustrating, it happens very frequently.
I am not sure if the same will persist even after replacing with a new battery. Or I would need to go back to ICS again.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!
If the battery is bloated then it's better to get a new one.
Erm... is this thread still up?
I just wanted to know if the bloated battery would cause boot issues, stuck on the model screen?
I would guess the problem is with the bloated battery's voltage is insufficient to power up the systems... i guess
I need confirmations... thank you in advance

That never happened to me with a bad battery. What version of Android are you running?
i changed my battery just a two weeks before and the battery backup has decreased very much
can someone help me how to check whether my battery is in good shape or not ?
What do you mean with "battery backup"? Maybe "capacity"?
What battery did you buy?

4.1.2 xxlsz deodexed by eybee
The problem is, after I restored most of my data, apps and system data separately, the screen flickers a little bit and then the restore process completed without any problem. After that I restart the phone, stuck at the model screen only for unknown reason. The data is also from previous xxlsz which I had trouble with some system app crashed but fixed by returning to another backup though.
So, currently I'm leaving the phone without any data restored, only stock fresh out of the box xxlsz with titanium backup only installed. So far the phone is quite stable, I've turned off the adaptive power adjustment in display as well as lowest brightness just in cast it might occur again.
I've been reflashing xxlsz a lot this morning, over 3-5 times due to stuck in boot logo and model screen. Even though flashed the latest philz 4.90.8, it would just revert back to the old philz 4.8x with cwm 6.0.2.8
One last thing, my batter bloated pretty bad about half of it has been expanded. I mean from the bottom part (no copper connections), half of it has reached out of the body.
Well,
hppend to me b4, flickering issue below 10%. It was bloated. Bought new one. Bloated again after 6months. Again, bought a new one and it can last only 7 hrs without switch on data.
This is what we get from massive production company.

By battery backup I mean the time my battery survives after a full charge is like only 2hrs with minimal use :/

Maybe you bought a "bad" battery...
Ok, successfully restored to another checkpoint, now trying to extract a stock build.prop from stock xxlsz, eybee's build.prop I believe been making my phone goes hot and consumes more power than normal (I guess)
damn issue as well

I seem to have the same issue
1. Battery drains rather bad
2. Screen flickering
3. Auto shutdowm
Used the battery in my wifes n7000 , however no issues at all
Only seem to happen on my phone.
I flashed it to stock std 4.1.2 , however problem still persist. auto shutdown few times a day
Gets worse when i use an external SD
@amogh you can check your battery voltages and battery temperature and compare that to optimum values. you can also use apps like AnTuTu battery tester.

Flashing another rom again wont solve much of the problem, if you happens to have the phone stuck in around bootloop and able to go into cwm, brace yourself, this process can get very repetitive to solve because a mere battery able to do such a problem. I had these experience before about 2 months ago before buying a new battery. Hope this link helps you understand a bit more of the battery

Thanks mate will go thru it and see if the battery is the cause. Point to note was it did not happen when i was using ICS. It started immediately with the JB update

[Q] battery issues....four hour charge time...help!

ok, I recently replaced my bionic due to a shattered screen. the one verizon sent me didn't come with a battery so I'm using the same old one. so when I rooted my phone on ics, a couple weeks later I noticed that my phone was taking awhile to recharge. with the battery hd app it said that from about ted percent it would take nearly 4 hours to charge! as opposed to the usual hour, hour an a half. then I updated to jelly bean an due to my internal storage becoming unmounted, I had to fxz an lost root altogether. so after getting my internal storage back an waiting what seemed like a month for a root exploit, my battery was back to charging normally, which was pretty sweet. so today I booted ubuntu an rooted my bionic using the samba exploit recreated by the master genius of moto exploits himself, all hail Dan! after playing around an getting back to my old setup I drained a full battery. I plugged in an yet again battery hd. is reporting a 4 hour charge time, plugged into ac! so my question is, does anyone know what could be causing this?! from what I know so far it seems that having root access is the cause. but I can't put the two together an understand how that is an I don't have the kinda time for a 4 hour wait on a charge....somebody help!
Try to delete the battery stats. Maybe the phone is traiting the battery like a 10000mah one and recharges it a while.
Let me know if it worked!
yea i tried that right off the bat. in recovery, with a battery calibration app, and manually. nothin helps
It could be one of two things: one, there could be a problem with your ROM's battery app, therefore displaying incorrect data. Another issue could be the battery itself, as these batteries degrade over time so it could have gone flat and no longer hold an efficient charge.

hopeully its just the rom. i'm installing safestrap right now so i can jump over to another one and see how the battery acts there, maybe help narrow it down. an now i'm thinking it probly is the rom as the battery holds a charge like it always has. it just charges super slow. if i use the wifi tether or download any big files such as a zip file for a rom, it actually drains the battery very slowly while plugged in to ac. around 1 percent every five or ten min, depending how much i have goin on at the time. i clearly remember when it started happening. i checked once and it showed a normal charge time between 1 an 2 hours. i fiddled around did some things, of which i now cant remember what i did (install apps for example) an ten minutes later it was in this state where it takes 4 hours to charge. i've tried deleting apps, calibrating the battery, hopefully it works normal on a different rom its turning out to be quite the inconvience. Thanks for you help and input!!

ok so I installed a different rom on the safe system using safe strap an I was still having issues. tried a different rom and same thing. I went back to the unsafe side and did a master reset on the stock rom and it seems to have fixed the problem. I'm curious to see what it is um doing that's causing it as this is the second time its happened. gonna pay close attention to the possibility of it happening again to hopefully pin point the origin.

If you tried various versions of different ROMs, and you're still experiencing the same issues, it's probably an issue with the hardware, so I would check the battery to make sure.
its back to normal now. But I'm still pretty curious as to how my stock rom was causing the problem across different roms even using safestrap. an fxz fixed her right up
