So i have had my htc one for about a year and a half now and for the past couple of months i have been having problems with my battery. The way it is acting is really sporadic so i will try to explain it the best way i can. First of all, the battery is draining faster then usual, and it won't charge when plugged to a computer for some reason (ok sometime it does charge but its so random, and when it does it will only charge for about 1-2% in the span of an hour) So i have to use a power outlet when i need to charge my phone.
Now what i did when it did that, which is a solution i found on the net was to clear the system cache which i did by going into twrp recovery(yes btw my phone is running android HD 62.0 with kit kat 4.4.2) and wiping the cache..That only seemed to help fix the issue for awhile, because after that my phone could somehow charge from a computer but it still drained fast and i notice that it also overheats more then the usual. So at this point i did a little more researching, made sure that all my process/task were closed and everything and it seem that its always my android system that seems to be using alot of power (see my attached screenshot).
Ultimately at the beginning of the week i did a factory reset, this SEEMED to have fix the issue for about 3 days my phone was working fine, no hard battery drain it , no overheat and it would even charge fine on a computer... until about 2 days all the above came back ! woke up in the morning, my phone was hotter then usual, by the time i arrived at work my phone is at 75% and all i did was listen to music !
Now i really loved my HTC while it lasted and was even planning on getting the M8, but im disappointed that the battery is giving me headache like this so im hoping there is something i can do before i decide to change phone completly
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you !!

I wish I knew of a fix for this problem as well, because I appear to have exactly the same problem with my M7 running ViperOne 5.8. I'm hoping that updating the ROM will alleviate the issue, but I have no idea. I also don't know that mine fails to charge from a computer — my impression is simply that it's charging slower than the battery is being drained by whatever process(es) is causing the problem.
I'll let you know if I find an answer!
hmmm i thought i could avoid having to update the rom but i guess thats one of the only solution left for me to try. could anyone confirm if this could possibly fix the issue ?

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

I have the exact same problem, am about to buy a new battery tomorrow unless someone else has another solution? This might not be the proper forum but in here at least many i9001 users will read it.
I've had this problem for about a week, was very annoying while on holiday. I've tried using BroodROM BE 1.0, Stock KQE and now back to stock KPG.
Try ebay - you can easily find decent batteries for 5$ there.

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!
Plz mods remove/delete this sheeyat.. this is
Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development
i have used TeamWin Recovery for wipe all partition becouse with hard reset don't wipe /system and internal sd.

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
UPDATE: after uninstalling the pro version of Battery Indicator there were no random shutdowns at all, but the free version is fine o.0
Anyone else having extreme battery drain issues?
Just started out of nowhere. I woke up, checked my phone as usual.. it was cool when I picked it up, but after 5 minutes on it, it started getting hot.
Battery is draining 20-30 in 15 minutes.. I've wiped the phone and installed a fresh ROM, both AOSP, and Sense-based. If I take it off the charger it will drain and die. I've had this happen to a previous HTC One.
Does anyone have any ideas?
It doesn't make much sense to me.. if I wipe the phone, and all it has is a bootloader and recovery, what could the problem be? I wipe the phone and turn it off, and it still gets hotter and hotter. I'm barely keeping it alive on the charger.. I can manage flashing a ROM, et.c. but if I leave anywhere with my phone and use it.. it will be dead in an hour I feel. Then it will be a brick.
Anyone?
I've tried the PWR Volume +/- too..

Batterycell problem, assuming you've always used the original charger that came with the phone?
Anyways it sounds like a warranty issue. I would return the software to stock and deliver it back saying it's always been like this. You should get a new.
Whatever you do, turn it off at night. Assuming the cells are unstable, it may actually overheat and explode. I wouldn't want to be asleep at that time if I were you...

Ugh.. this is already my 4th One in 3 months. Tired of this problem.
I'm probably going to request a different model of phone. Too many problems here.
Thanks...
Feel for you bro... I've fortunately never had any problems with mine, nor have my friends with their One's.
Well, sounds pretty bad, sorry for you
But i would sent it back (again) and make some pressure and tell them you want a fully functionally phone already! I dont know what i would do, i'm fine with mine ('knocking on the table*) but if had such issues and already had THREE phones because of issues i would go enrage lol.
Have had issues with a new laptop the first one had heating problems with graphic processor, so i sent it back, made some pressure and got a new one which is fine now
What i will say, always make a little pressure and don't say "okay" to everything you will get
Hello,
I have a brazilian Moto Maxx. I´ve noticed I´m getting reduced battery times for about a week now, it got down to only 3 hours of screen on time. Since yesterday I haven´t been able to charge the phone...it won´t recognize the charger is plugged in. I´ve swapped to a couple of different charges...one of the times I got it working for about 15 minutes, then it stopped. I´ve got about 40% of the last charge left, should I reset the phone? Has this happened to anyone else?
The other different thing I noticed is the I´ve got an update on the launcher..I´ve got the white google search bar, sometimes I get the google notifications instead of the active screen...could this have anything to do with these issues?
Hi,
Well are you running KitKat or lollipop ?
Try rebooting. Should fix the problem.
If it doesn't help then try to check for wakelocks. Maybe there is a rogue app running and draining your battery.
I'm getting around 5:45 Hrs of screen on time. This is with moderate usage. I'm running lollipop.

Hey rednav, thanks for replying. I´m running kitkat. I did a factory reset, still not charging and I´m now down to 15% battery...do you think there´s anything else to try? If not, I´ll just keep my phone off, so I can reset it again before taking it to the motorola service.
Probable Fix
Hi again,
There could be 1 of 2 problems.
1. Try checking if the USB (metal contactors) are making contact with the phone's port. If not take something small like a toothpick and raise the metal pins by a tiny bit and try to charge again. Do this with your phone powered off. This method is tricky and be careful.
2. Have your battery checked. Which means service.
Hope this fixes your problem.
Cheers !

Hello everyone,
few days back I handed over my bellowed mi3 to service, because I was playing a lot on it when charging, phone got really, really hot and after an hour of playing it turned off completely. It couldnt start, charge or anything. After few days, when the guy had time for my phone, he called me that everything is okay with it and that he didnt have any problem using it, so I can come pick it up. Now I am writing from it, everything is good so I am not sure what caused the problem in the first place.
So, was it some kind of heat protection maybe or something like that, that prevented my phone from starting, or should I be starting to look for a new phone because this one may be dying out?
I am not sure what to expect now, did anyone had this kind of issues with mi3? Thanks.
Edit: After the day of usage, phone died again. So I am thinking, bad battery?

Yes, Many people face the same problem. You can charge it again through PC/NB USB.
But it will happen again. After changing new battery, this problem can be solved.
Thanks man! I already have a new replacement battery on the way, hopefully I will get to change it today. Will update later if new battery solved it. I hope it will, would miss my Mi 3
EDIT: oh damn ... battery replaced, and after a day, the phone keeps turning off. Last resort is reflashing from factory reset, but as I had never have this problems with CM 12.1, I guess it wont be software related.
EDIT: okay, phone turned off again. It is weird, its working properly, just sometimes it turns off randomly, and after a reboot which takes really long, battery says its almost empty, even when before turning off, the battery was about 70 percent full. :/
So my phone is overheating when I plug it in the charger, when I play bleach immortal souls, when I multitask with a pop-up window Two dots and YouTube together and my battery life only gets max 3 hours SOT.
I am opting to get the oneplus 8T once it comes out next month but I'm not sure what to do with my note 9 in the meanwhile. No matter if it's the stock ROM or the 4 custom ROMs out there, it all has the same problems but the one thing that's confusing me is that accubattery says my battery health is 87%.... Anyone else encounter a problem like this?
Sorry for what might be a dumb question but have you factory data reset you phone? I did a few months back and felt like a new phone again.

yeah I did a factory reset, I formatted the whole phone using stock recovery aswell and that didn't seem to fix the problem. i recently flashed superstable rom and the phone is blazing fast but still I can get no fast charging, battery life is really bad even after doing a battery calibration like for instance last night my phone was at 100% and I didn't put it in the charger and 7 hours later i found my phone at 58% and i ca share screenshots that shows it didn't have any phone use.....
the thing is this is probably a battery gone bad problem but I don't want to open the phone to lose "water proofing"
