Hello, i've been using my HTC One M7 for over 9 months now, and i'm facing some major issue with the battery, it's very awful ! i'll post some screenshots at the end, i've made a lot of researches to try fixing this battery issue:
TUTO 1 : when the phone shuts down, plug it to the original charger and wait for 2 min, then press and hold the power key + vol+ and vol- for 5 minutes and release then when the screen is on [Not Working]
TUTO 2 : download an app from the market for battery calibration [Not Working]
TUTO 3 : for root users, wait until your phone is dead, and plug it into the charger for about 3 hours for full charge without turning it on, then just power it up and let it rest for 30 minutes [Not Working]
TUTO 4 : flash a ROM [Untested]
what happens, is that my phone is draining battery normally but when it reaches 40% (sometimes before) and i'm using any application, it'll shut down and state that the battery is empty, if i waited the 40% to pass and then launch an app the battery will jump from 40% to 28% then to 12% then 1% and shuts down.. some people say it's because of the power saver.. some say it's from a third party app.
before it happens only when my phone reaches 9% then jumps from 9 to 3 then shuts down.. i'm lost, any one ? please
Got also the 9% failure. Tried to calibrate my battery but it didnt work. Since I flashed a new ROM it disappeared.
Calibration of the battery is a myth that was put to rest long ago by many. Even Google's own developers said it was a myth.
this one is after flashing the ViperOne Rom and the ElementalX kernel.. i'm still having this issue :/

I don't remember who posted it but this worked for me.
Charge your phone to full while booted up / unplug phone
then reboot recovery / plug phone in and wait till it says 100% in recovery
power off / unplug phone / plug in the phone and wait till the battery says 100%. It seems the 3 different modes / booted up / recovery / and off all have different ideas of when the battery is actually full. The whole process took about 15 min.

I let mine charge overnight it said full, but in recovery the phone was only at 87%. after about 10/20 min. charging it was full. Then with the phone off it again showed less than full like 93% .. 10/15 more min. and it said full
what recovery do you have ?

sorry to bring this one up again but I am also having this exact problem, also if I turn the phone back on it will load up but as soon as it finishes booting it thinks the battery is at 0% so it turns off, after doing the calibration method once, it finishes booting up and shows how much battery there really is which was around 12% when this last happened last night.
I am actually running completely stock Android 4.4 not rooted or any mods.

My Battery lasted 7H 19M today, phone showed it was 55% remaining and turned off.. as you can see in the attachment of the battery history
Had a similar bug long ago. Factory reset fixed it (I think). I deleted everything on the phone so that I HAD to RUU a ROM on the phone. After that my battery worked normally. Maybe a bug, a virus, anything but I formatted it and now it works like a charm.

Have you tried a hardware battery recalibration?
The battery calibration starts with the phone completely off. The steps are as follows: Charge the device for at least 10 minutes using the original charging cable in a wall outlet. With the device powered off while still plugged into the wall outlet, press and hold the volume up, volume down and power button for two full minutes. Use three fingers to hold these buttons and do not let go at any time. They will be held in at the same time for this to work. After two minutes, you can let go. At this point, the device should boot up and battery/charging logic will be re-calibrated.

I also charge the phone to 100% then boot to recovery and let it go to 100%
then shut down the phone and charge it to 100% ...all three areas show different battery levels. when all 3 are full your good to go

Hi
I'm new and this is my first thread.
After I rooted my phone I have an issue with charging my battery.
When I started the phone after the root I had a 100% battery, after I was playing and using it I plugged it in when I was going sleep.
After the whole night my phone charged from around 12% to only 60%, and then after I was using and draining the battery nearly to minimum(around 5-7%) it and left it for a couple o hours and it charged to 59%. Sometimes it charges a bit more but the whole process is really slow comparing it to the stock rom charging(it was taking lik 3-5 hours from 0-100%).
I rooted my phone with ivendor's rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825260
I was using CWM 6.0.1.2.
I would like to ask for any solutions for my problem, for now I want to drain it to 0 and then leave it again charging for a couple of hour maybe a whole night.
It's a bug. Sometimes is occures and sometimes not.
You could flash castagnaIT kernel and try again.
Just installed the kernel.
1st thing I noticed is a performance increase.
I'll gonna post what's the situation of battery tomorrow.
Ok, After a whole night of charging my phone only got to 68%, then when I was charging it when it was turned off It charged to 85% and when I turned it on it stopped to charge even with the AC plugged in and the icon is showing that it's charging.
Any solutions ? Please help.

I get a similar issue. When on stock I was always getting 100 %. Then I flashed CM9 and I randomly get 100 % after all night recharge.
If you are not afraid of switching ROMs, try a different one and let us know if it solved the problem because as mrjraider said
It's a bug.

Ok.
I was charging it turned off. It charged to 100%. I'll gonna test it today one more time with charging it when the phone is switched on.
If it fails I'll gonna get back to my stock rom and test it and try again with a battery charge to 100%.
Also remember that the phone wont charge completly due to safety of your battery..
Most of the time it recharged to 98 percent

Yes I know but the indicator in the phone 'has that in mind' so it shows 100% but its really 98 i know. When I was analyzing that battery graph I saw that the battery is charging really long. If I'm reading it right it takes the same amount of time to charge it as to drain it when using it.
Screen is attached. I was charging it through the wall charger.
It's polish language
Any opinions ?
Make your battery empty 0% !
Try to turn on the phone after empty battery !
and make sure that the battery is empty ....
Just connect your charger without turn on you phone....
charge your phone for 9 hours !
Then , take the charger out and turn on your phone !
Try... this steps may it help you

I think that the solution was USB debugging. When I turned it off the phone is normally charging full and works perfectly.
Hey everyone! we are all using a li-ion battery » when we unplug our device from cable it will turn automatocally to 99%... I'm sorry folks, i don't like this feeling neither never havimg 100%...

Ahh.... just turn it off. Charge it fully( 3hrs at max). Got to recovery and wipe battery stats. Then drain it completely, and then recharge it fully.again. Then it will most probably go till 100%

88% full charged battery
Hi, is someone solve this problem. On my alcatel idol 6030X with off phone battery is 100% changed, after power on show 88%. When charging with power on phone, after 88% charging stop. What to do?
My galaxy ace is totaly crazy now.
I took it from charger, after 20 minutes it 50%, after 5 minutes i get warning and it reboots. After booting it show me warning and again reboot. After 5-10 times it just blinking. I cant go into recovery or even turnt it of.
I pull out battery, wait a minute, insert back. Then I connect charger and boot device...and the battery is 100%! what is going on?
i've already:
re-flashed 3 firmwares
cleaned battery stats
here you can see how big is battery drain and a fact that battery is nearly 100% after connecting charger.

Hard to know but it could be that the voltage from the battery is so low or fluctuating so much that the power switch is unable to function.
Similar to your TV remote where you sometimes need to jiggle the batteries slightly to make it work properly.
The first thing I would try and rule out is the battery... it's a relatively easy and inexpensive fix if that's the problem (ebay is your friend).

Don't excessively flash ROMs
revert to Stock ROM for the timebeing
And don't Delete/wipe battery stats because after every successful 100% charge the battery_Stats.bin file gets deleted and regenerated.
so deleting that bin file wont help
next,check if the contacts of your battery are intact and that they are not covered with dust
when you connect the charger cable to your phone then check if the cable is properly inserted or not,if no then insert it properly
If none of this solves your problem then i must say mate that you need to change the battery.
are you sure that it is a battery problem? :-?

I can take that into consideration but the analogy you gave doesn't seem to be that convincing. Sometimes it may be due to the unclean android system that causes all this & I best know how it drained my battery in less than 30 minutes but I still use the same & it lasts a day now. But it may even be the battery or may be anything else. Who knows? !:screwy:
@OP : Try a full wipe & a reflash. If that doesn't help, go to the sammies or buy a new battery.

Hi Guys,
I have a rooted Xperia V with the original 1.140 -Version.
Since a month I do have the problem, that the phone turns off, at 5-8%.
My battery monitor widget, which I have since the first day of the Phone, shows me: 0% at 3010mV
But it turns of at 3400-3500mV.
I tried about 10times in a row to fully unload the phone and then a full recharge. But it didnt helped.
I deleted the batterystatsbin. Didnt helped.
I remember from my old Defy with CWM, that there was a point in recoverymode which allowed me to wipe my battery.
I would like to do that, but I dont get into recovery mode.
Volume + and power didnt helped, volume - puts me in safe mode, like windows safemode.
Can somebody help me to get clean batterystats again?
plz? :fingers-crossed:
Wiping batterystats has nothing to do with calibrating battery, it just wipes the stats shown under Settings - Power - Battery.
You should search for how to calibrate battery, there are several options available here on XDA.

I hope you did not simply mean by calibrate battery:

My best advice is to let phone discharge so it dies by itself, then fully charge it to 100% without any powering on under charge process. When charged to 100 - turn on phone and let it charge additional 1 hour so it can add back the lost procentage values that was lost during boot up..

I followed your instructions. After that I let the phone discharge so it dies by itself. Same problem... 7% at 3208mV and it dies.
Furthermore theres a new "problem". As it charges while it turned off, the battery-icon wasnt fully loaded, it has a space between fully loaded and the acutal status. The green LED was on, as it does by 90%. After half an hour nothing changes, I turned on the phone, charger still plugged in, and it showed 99%. With this status it loaded 10-20min till it has 100%.
After some minutes, it might be 15, I removed the charger and used the phone normaly.
So it was an uninterrupting loading time of nearly 4h to 100%. But normaly it takes only 2:30h from 0%-100% with the 1760mAh Battery and the original 1500mAh-Charger.
Now the funny fact:
Normaly I have till now 70% Battery left. I do have at the moment 86%.
I dont get it...

Pull the battery, leave it out for 30 seconds, put it back in, put the phone on charge, leave it alone for 10 minutes to get a basic charge, unplug it, try to turn it on. If it boots then pug it back in to finish charging.

Give it a while - that's why I said 10 minutes. Let it try to recover - if you've totally emptied the battery it may take a while to sort itself out.

Hey guys, I've got a bit of a problem after the latest 4.3 update. My phone battery went to 7% and then suddenly to 0%, upon which it turned off. Now whenever I try to turn it on the red light flashes and whenever I try to turn it on whilst charging (because I don't think it charges if I just leave it plugged in), it just enters a reboot cycle, whereby it goes to the lock screen, shows the "Shutting Down" window and reboots. I have no clue how to fix this.
I don't really care about the phone at this point, but I do have some photos I want to keep from there...
Any ideas? The software hasn't been pampered with.
same here
hey, feeling with you.
I recently updated my Xperia T to 4.3.
While in 4.1.2 the "low battery" behavior was quite weird, as my T did not charge (no red LED), I was able to get it back to life by pressing and holding the power button for quite some time, lets say 5 min. or so, as it was loading then. This was independent from whether it was exhausted (blinking red LED) or "simply of"(not blinking but not charging anyways).
Through this whole power pressing procedure (I just wrapped the cord around the phone several times) the LED was red and the phone was charging, but it did not turn on. After the 5 min. I freed the T an hit the power button again. Now it was booting as expected and did not immediately go off again.
On 4.3 unfortunately this does not work anymore . The phone just tries to boot and enters the reboot cycle as you described (with the difference that it does shut down instead of reboot).
Now first I would like to know, if your T behaved like mine under 4.1.2 (guessing that was your last Version too). From what I've read I assume that wasn't really normal behavior. I think there must be something wrong with the hw, as my 4.1.2 was neither unlocked nor modified in any other way.
Second I would advise you boot into recovery and select boot into bootloader* (if you have installed one) or connect your T to your PC and boot into flashmode (power+vol.down I guess) as it might charges in there. The recovery worked for me, flashmode should work, but I never tried.
Finally I guess chances are good, that your device works totally normal if it gets charged again (just don't let it run out of energy again )
btw. does the Xperia T normally charge while it's powered off? Anyone has send his phone back on warranty because of charging problems?
good luck to you,
wk
*I am using this 4.3 rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647459) atm, as I have root there. But the recovery is really buggy right now so it just restarts all the time. I'm not quite sure where the "boot into bootloader" option gets you ( never heard, that you could boot into bootloader on an xperia device) but the LED shines blue and the T charges and that's important right?
Yeah, my T would sometimes do that when the battery completely drained. I'd have to hold the button for a few minutes while the red light was on until it booted and started charging autonomously.
Now that doesn't work. It doesn't charge when it's off and when I connect it to the charger and turn it on, it restarts. Eventually though the battery drains completely and the old trick works again, but even when it manages to boot to the lock screen, it shows 0% battery again and restarts.
I've tried turning it on while holding the power+down button and charging. The green light came on and disappeared but it started rebooting again. Same with connecting it to my PC.
Can you remove the battery?
Same thing happens to mine,and i just remove battery,plug it without battery,it starts,then put the battery back on.
And it charges fine.

So I think you are facing the same issue as mine... the phone has no time to charge. So what I did was flash an OmniRom with only the SystemUI apk and launcher apk. The intention was to make the boot time shorter so that the battery will not go down by the time it boots. But it ended up causing a bootloop: it was constantly stuck in the bootanimation. And it does charge during the bootanimation. So I let it be like that for about 30 minutes, rebooted to recovery and flashed the stock rom. And all my data was safe. This is more like a fluke so try it and maybe it would work.
If you can disassemble it, then yes, you can do the battery thing. There is just one screw under the SIM flap. I didn't do it because my screw driver kit was borrowed.
The battery trick worked! Now it discharges really fast though.
5% in less than 5 minutes...
