Hi,
I've tried to search for a solution but haven't find any. You know there is a message when battery temperature gets too high then charging stops. The popup message is very very annoying: I use navigation and blackbox while driving. And when this message comes I have to press OK, and 5 secs after it appears again... very very annoying.
I agree with not to overheat the battery but why not just stop charging without this message? Is there any trick to eliminate this? In summer time and sunny days this msg comes very often. I have to place a piece of plastic to car's ventillation hole to minimizing the chance of this msg.
I don't care if it's charging or not, I just don't want to see this msg.
Please help if you have any idea!
I'm on stock JVR now, rooted, underclocked @ 800MHz. Other ROMs (CM7, MIUI) just stops carging without any message.
Had the same problem awhile back,reflash jvr, and dont use undervolting/overclocking programs/kernels.

+1 Dont OC/uV too much.
My apologies guys, but please read: I don't use OC/UV, I use stock and underclock.
With normal use and simple charging everything goes well but under heavy use I get this message while charging. Under heavy use I mean navigation, blackbox, and of course phone is at the windscreen while heated by the sun. The phone's glass is hot. It's normal of course because I use CPU intensive apps.
I repeat: I don't care about charging or not, just want this message to be disappeared.
I just unplug mine from the charger when this pops up. It happens with me in exactly the same circumstances. GPS navigation, dashboard of the car, and bright sunny days, it's not an overclock issue, just high ambient heat source, high cpu usage plus charging.
I also find it's aggravated by the silicon skin case I use.

Yes I'm doing the same as workaround. But other ROMs just stop charging and continue when phone cooled down without any message. It would be very nice to just remove this message by a script or editing a script or something else (I'm not a dev just an "I-like-to-hack" power user).
DO your devices get extremely hot at all? Mine did ,to the point that it was to too hot to handle, im surprised the dam thing did not exploded.
As for removing the message i have not a clue how too, i do know however that is is triggered by the thermal sensors.
I can also recall this happening with my windows mobile devices a few times,this happened when the gps services were stuck working in the background.
In all occasions the only fix a found was to re flash the rom.

No, it's not too hot, it's just warm enough. I don't say it's abnormal because in direct sunlight while charging and using cpu intensive apps it's normal. Just try to figure out is there any chance to do this all without this message...
Ok, I'll wait for someone who knows something or know someone who has seen someone who know something...
Referring to other threads I'm not the only one with this problem and not SGS is the only one with this problem.
While this message is not needed and has no function it has to be eliminated some way because tapping OK is very disturbing while driving/navigating/etc...
Script? Kernel patch/hack? Something? If some ROMs can do it (like MIUI) there must be a way to have it disappeared...
I had the same problem with a Galaxy S II today. First, it began to warn me that was starting charging. And 1 second later it warn the Power Saving was activated and the charger was turned off.
Later, it said 'Charging pause. Voltage too high'. When I've tried to power off the phone, it was powering on by itself.
During the morning, I've used the phone to consume battery. At the afternoon, I put it via USB cable and it seems the problem is solved, for now.
I'm using the ICS ROM beta, by Samsung, have some days.
Okay, so.. I have a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit II 4G.
I have it rooted with the root stock from this thread.
With that said, I've had this phone rooted for several months now. Since January or so. Over the course of that time, the phone has run without fault for months. Recently, I've had issues with my battery draining (as well as charging) far more quickly than it used to. I assumed this was an issue with the battery, because there was a slight bulge in it, so I bought a replacement battery that came yesterday. I charged it full (until the phone said it was 100%), from about 5% charge. It took the normal time (as the phone did when it was new) to charge, of just over 2 hours. It died almost completely about 2 1/2 hours later. Currently, I have my phone charging and it's at right around 90%, after just over an hour of charge from 20%. It used to take far longer to both charge, as well as die. What the Hell is going on?
Just a few notes:
This is not the result of heavy usage (for power drain). I say this because even as the phone was idle while I slept, it died on its own accord sometime throughout the night.
My bluetooth, WiFi, and GPS are almost always off, unless I'm using one of them for some purpose, and I haven't used any of those things since the new battery was installed.
There are no applications running in the background, aside from Facebook. I know this because I'm using Advanced Task Killer to kill everything, and it keeps showing Facebook as if it's opening itself for some reason. This is another issue I'm concerned with, so if anyone knows why or how to remedy this, I'd be appreciative of knowing. Otherwise I'm likely to just delete this unnecessary application.
This is not an issue where the phone is reading an incorrect charge over an extended period. It literally is dying and charging faster than normally.
When the phone is rebooted, whether it be through "Restart" (app from Google Play), via the phone Power key, or removal of the battery, the phone drops around 20% battery life when the restart is complete. The absolute reverse happens (it gains 20%) when restarting with the phone plugged into an AC charger.
Is it possible that this has something to do with the root being outdated, or maybe something updated and I'm unaware? I sincerely have no idea what's going on, as this is the first phone I've ever rooted before. I'm sorry for the long post, but I wanted to give as much information as possible.
It sounds like the battery you bought may be defective. Send it back and get a different one.
Yea sounds like you bought a defective battery. Where did you buy it from? Talk to them and see if they'll send a replacement or get another one from elsewhere

Hello,
Been a while since i was on XDA because i chose a good enough rom and never had to back again. I've used android for quite a while. My first android phone ever was a HTC Tattoo. This is like my 7th android phone now and i've modded every phone i ever had with a custom rom because the stock ones were full of stupid additions that just took up space for no reason. I've encountered many issues along the way and solved most of em. But here is another issue i just cannot fix no matter how hard i try.
I have a regular Xperia Z1 c6903 and i've used it for quite a while. Played Hearthstone alot on it even tho it did make the phone feel like a radiator. After time, the back glass started loosening up bit by bit. I think it has something to do with the glue loosening because of the constant heat of me playing Hearthstone. Didn't worry about it too much, until i started having these weird battery issues. The phone started dying on weird percentages, jumping from 14% to instant 0% and shutdown. I've encountered this issue before on other phones and it just happened to be a software issue where reinstalling the rom or installing another would fix the issue.
I tried this on this phone multiple times. Worked once. Then it came back. Tried even installing the stock firmware again so its in factory settings even tho i didnt relock the bootloader. Issue didnt get fixed. Tried switching to a kitkat stock firmware, didnt work. Tried installing another custom firmware, didnt work. So i reverted back to the rom that i found worked best for me despite the battery issues, DStrikerZ1 Kai.
The issue just got worse. It started dying on 30% and just went higher and higher each time. Then it kept dying on like 64% or so each time. At this point, every time i charged it it just jumped from 1% to like 54% in less than a minute. I charged it each time while it was off. I didnt turn it on to then charge it.
2 days ago, it died on exactly 84%. It's at this point i was looking into options because i cant have a phone that charges only to what it THINKS it 100% and then stops charging to just die then at 84% while discharging per percentage at a normal rate.
Next day, the battery and the back glass i ordered arrived. There was one issue tho which i realized much later, the battery i got was too fat. Mostly on the lower part of it. I was able to plug the battery in but i couldnt put on the back glass entirely because the battery is too fat. So i put it on as much as i could and just taped it around with white tape around the phone but above and below the screen so it doesnt block it. Also cut out what was needed with a scalpel so sound and camera arent blocked. While trying to replace the battery, i think i may have accidentally pulled a little bit on the back camera so it popped out just a tiny bit. Pushed it back in and it looks fine. Although now i can't launch my camera app and it crashes each time. Dont use it much anyway so not a big loss for me.
Here is the result of this new battery:
It works. Although i still have the battery percentage issues. But it charges a bit differently now and discharges differently. NOT CORRECTLY STILL. 1 hour ago i put on charging because it died outside again at a wrong percentage. Was like 60%, dont remember. I turn it on again and while its turning itself on, i plug it into the charger. It says 52%. So i launch Pokemon GO and run it for about a minute. Then it dies again. Then i turn it on again and NOW its on 1% and it starts charging what i THINK is normally. 20 minutes later after charging, i check it and its on 11%. Then the really weird thing happens. As im watching the percentage go up, it goes from 11% to 15% in a matter of seconds as if it went up by 1% per second. It's been 1 hour now and its on 27%. One thing that i think is just a coincidence but i have no idea, it died like 6 times only while Pokemon GO was running.
I seriously don't know what to do. I don't know if the issue isnt with the battery but the phone itself, or if it just needs a bit calibration. But you can't use a phone reliably if you cant know when it needs recharging. I can't buy a new phone for at least 2 more months. I have a Galaxy S2 somewhere that i can use in the meantime but its cracked a bit and the top left part of the glass just above the display is just gone. Taped over it to keep it covered. But it'll get the job done in the meantime.
I know i should have made a book about this. I did write alot. But i feel people will be able the help me if they know exactly every detail.
What does the community of XDA have to say about what i should do or try?
Thank you in advance!
Sounds like you got a damaged or used battery that is bad. It has dead cells in it thus the voltage and percent drop. Besides that original Sony 3000mAh battery will fit perfectly and look exactly like replaced original battery (bar it can have different text/icon layout on white sticker).

The one i got by mail actually is also the original Sony 3000mAh battery. I did the comparison and it does look exactly the same with only the sticker being a tiny bit different in what exact code it had on it. But this one was thicker on the bottom part of the battery. I'll just order another one then i guess...

But if it is thicker then it is a used one that has swollen cells in it due to dendrite which makes cells go bad and ultimately shortcut the cell(s) resulting in sudden drops in voltage thus the percentage jumps down or goes directly to 0 depeding on severity.
Return the battery and get a new one and make sure it is original. When you get it weight it and compare with the old one. IIRC battery should weight about 42-43 grams. On the sticker you see 2 numbers with a W inbetween. First is year it is produced and second is the week eg 13W32 which means 2013, week 32.
I suggest you order from Teknikdelar.se (since you live in Sweden) which has original Sony batteries and they are new, fresh ones. Avoid anyone selling batteries without "original Sony" inserted into description.

This actually now makes a whole lot sense. It is kind of swollen as if its been used up. I will order a new one as soon as i can from the website you linked. Appreciate the help! :victory: :laugh:
Hello,
recently I bought LG G Watch R and after updating to Marshmallow the watch started turning off randomly, and was unable to boot to the system without being on the cradle. I've read a lot about it on the internet and tried all sorts of solutions, but without success. Then I found that my temperature sensor is giving wrong data. My watch is idling at 50 - 55C and when put on cradle temperature immediately drops to 40 - 45C (overheat protection turns it off at 60C). So is there a way to turn off overheat protection or change the temerature the sensor is reporting with Kernel/Mod? I'll be glad to donate if someone is to make such thing.
Also excuse my mistakes, I'm not an English speaker.
Cheers.
Have you ever found out a solution? I think the most common thing to do is to buy a new battery, but I ordered one from China so it's going to take a while until it arrives and I'm hoping to try to improve the condition of my current battery a little.

Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution yet. I was about to do the same thing as you, and buy a new battery, but then I read a post on reddit about a guy with exactly the same problem as me, who bought a new battery and the result were disappointing.
Do you have exactly the same issue as me? Because I've read about people's watches shutting off but not because of wrong readings of the temp sensor, but rather battery issues.
When you receive the new battery be sure to update me on the situation.
Thanks!
To be honest I didn't check the battery temperatures. Did you use an app to do so, or adb? I will check and let you know... it might indeed be more battery related than temperature.
I had exactly the same issue.
When my g watch r was charging on the cradle it worked flawlessly. When I removed it from charging it turned off randomly, sometimes it managed to boot and stay on even for hours, but most of the time it turned off instantly.
I thought the problem was either on the battery or on the power regulation ic, I didn't think about temperatures.
So last week I've bought a new battery, replaced it, and tada! The problem was the battery indeed!
The smartwatch is running perfectly now, apart from the bugs and the errors of aw2.0

For temp check I'm using app called System Info For Android Wear. You can check your temps to be shure.

I'll try Wear 2.0 and if the problem persist (most definetely will) I'm going to try with new battery. The problem with new battery however, is availability and ridiculously high shiping taxes here in Europe.
I know this is old now but has anyone solved this issue?
I've replaced my battery yesterday but the problem persists. The temperature floats around 50C and it rises to 60 quickly and shuts off if i do anything. Please share if you have a solution. Thank you.
I'm facing the same issue, battery has been changed but still getting hot and shutting down... If anybody knows a solution !
I have the same issue. I replaced the battery, even downgraded from 2.0, but the watch still frequently shuts off. I was able to get it to work for a good while by putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before powering it on.
Edit: its as if the cpu temp sensor has lost calibration, but since the freezer trick works, what about a mod that would move the shutoff threshold a few tens of degrees up?
same for me, it works after having spent few minutes in the freezer and then shuts off

The same thing happened to me, I changed the battery and the problem is still happening.
something new?
This just started happening on my G Watch R as well. Sometimes the heat generated from my wrist is enough to cause the watch to shutdown or reboot from overheating. If it isn't a failing battery, as some of you have noted through a battery replacement, then what could it be?

I had exactly the same symptoms.. but not any more.. after I changed the battery1.5 months ago.. No power off since then...
no idea what else could it be.. maybe some app actuality coursing overheating.. ?? But mine sometimes just died in between of factory reset.. so in cant be custom app..
Z1 lollipop 5.1.1
build n. 14.6.A.1.236
kernel ver. 3.4.0-perf-gd26777b-00851-ga8b7b55 19 november 2015
It all happened a month ago, after an update, the phone battery registered low and the device reboted, and for the first time in the phone history, I saw, at boot, the "app optimization" dialogue, that kept chewing at what battery life was left.
So, I replaced the battery;
at first start, all seemed OK till I hit an app (whatsapp I think) and the phone displaied the low battery warning and went down.
Same, after a full recharge, when pressing the camera hardware button.
Oh, I also had the discrepancy between the charging icon , which reported 100% charge, and after maybe 10min. 50% and, you know the story.
Now, at the very moment I am writing, after a full charge, 24 hours ago, the phone, without the sim and the SD cards, but left on, registers a charge of 93% (only wireless on, to invite some disharge); of course I cannot check the watsapp, but I took some pics, and the phone stays on.
What do you reckon, I am bugged, as android 5.1.1
should I hang on the phone, which, by the way, performs(ed) pretty well, even though marsmallow is not an option, with the 2GB mem. at least in a bog standard state (i.e. not rooted)?
Thanks
A little update: after two more hours, I started using the browser, and after viewing a couple of pages, the phone swiched itself off.
Now, the charging icon, visible, when phone is off, show a 1% charge.
So, the software battery meter, must be well off the mark?
Last addiction: after an hour, the status light is green (phone charged?) and the charge icon, displays a 100% level.
It's your say, now.
I have this problem and battery replace didnt solve anything here too, but I'm on nougat. I hope someone know a solution for this.. But I think It is some kind of hardware problem.
Little update: after recharging, I switched the phone up and let it play some video on youtube;
well, after maybe half an hour, it went down, and as soon as I plugged the charger in, the icon showed 80% charge, which I allready experienced, dismissing it had a fawlty reading, but, with some afterthought , would be in line with the actual battery drainage ( remember that without any activity it stays on indefenetly) and is, as if, some internal mechanism -either hardware or software, is programmed to switch it off at that precise level.
Just a thought, is there somewhere, the level of battery disharge can be set, at our discretion before the device shuts off, say 15%?
I do not seem to find this specific setting, currently.
It is less credible, as time goes by, to think of it as a specific device/brand problem, given the fact that all the major players ware, seems to be affected, and allowing for differences in platforms, the common denominator would appear to be the software itself.
Exact same problem
Some time ago, I replaced my Xperia SP's battery.
The "used, like new" battery I ordered was as bad as the one that was to be replaced, maybe even worse.
I complained, got another-one. This other battery works great.
Remember: There are no "new" batteries out there, just used-ones.
Some are still good, some are dead.
I don't know where replacement batteries that are new should come from... Sony has never sold them as spare parts. I don't know of any company that produces batteries for Sony phones and sells these batteries on the open market.
I only know of third party spare parts for iPhones. Apple has sold only like 20 different models since 2006.
Sony? More like 100.
Producing third party spare parts just isn't profitable in this case. That's the reason why there aren't any.
Any seller who claims to offer "new" batteries lies. At least if he didn't take them from some never used devices.
I'd be HAPPY to be proven wrong because I also need a new battery for my Z1.
Besides, it's no wonder all our phones' batteries die at the same time. They are all the same age and have had more or less the same amount of charging cycles.
Also, it's no wonder they all die the same way (suddenly empty).
They all (more or less) came out of the same factory.
It's like with cars, same model, same problems.
A Peugeot 206 always has problems with the Zylinderkopfdichtung (don't know the English word, the rubber thingy in the motor that keeps water from mixing with oil), some stuff with the wheels or the exhaust flies off because of rust... for the third time in 5 years...

Your allegations, are worth investigating.
[solved]
Very important updates.
There seems to be an "xperia battery bug" which kicks in at every battery change.
After having done all the calibration stuff, I re-opened the phone and took the battery connector off, while the phone was on.
Then, did the same, with the phone off.
After three or four days in which the phone did not seem able to start, (rebooted at the first stages of switching on) the phone magically booted up with, and what's more important there was no dicrepancy, between the battery charge level, shown when you plug in the charger, with phone switched off, and the charge level presented by the software, once the phone is on.
So, do not give up your still worth device!
Only thing I noticed now, is a sligtly faster battery consumption, even in stamina mode;
could it be related with the post above?
Maybe a new custom ROM could fix the problem, now that the phone seems stable.
Similar problem.
Phone shuts down when 2 to 3 apps are working simultaneously. It first heats up and then suddenly dies.
Secondly, it sometimes dies on 60% and other days it can work till 1% too. Sometimes after a reboot, it shows the battery percentage abnormally.
I love this phone so i m not planning to throw it away. On the other hand, i cannot find an original battery in the market.
Just chuck a suitable battery in and do the procedure I described.
My battery is not original either, so no problem.
As far as the battery consumption, it seems to be better now, after a week of use.
