I'm not sure if this is hardware related but as of this morning my n6 will not charge beyond 93%
My phone is just over a month old and I'm running a fairly basic cm12 build.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
Ok have you gone back to stock just to make sure it isn't rom related?
Install "ampere" from Play. Its the only truly accurate battery / charging monitor I've found.
Essentially the android OS works out what the percentage is based on voltage information supplied by your battery chip. Charge your phone as high as it will go, take it off charge and see what voltage it reads. Compare that voltage to someone else with the app installed when they are at 100%

Almost. Android doesn't have the voltage-percentage table. That is PMIC+firmware.

I believe it is a rom related problem, i have had my n6 for over a month and just last week decided to root, while on stock my battery life was REALLY GREAT and once i installed CM12 I've been having all kinds of issues
it's an early stage of cm12, it'll get better but for now i think i am going back to stock

I have flashed my Att I897 with RemICS JB rom, and then I ran the battery dead. Then I fully charged it and it doesn't last 5 hrs now. I even calibrated the battery. Any ideas, or is this normal with custon rom?
Have you tried any other roms? Download a battery stat app let it run a few days and see what's using up all of the battery. Did this happen prior to flashing or no?

I have been running this rom for a few weeks, with no issues. Then went out and bought a new phone, and my brother needed one so I gave my I897 to him . I reflashed it, to clean everything up and let him put on the apps he wanted. And the battery does with in 4-6 hrs. I will d/l the stat app and see where is goes.
I have another I897 runnig the same rom, on my daughters phone, and it has great battery life still.
added thoughts
if your brother is making heavy use of the phone, with screen on much of the time, then 4 to 6 hours is normal.
running the batt dead once shouldn't kill it. there are protections in pm chip to stop before batt voltage gets too low.
aging, as in several hundreds of charge cycles, will reduce batt capacity to half or less of original capacity.

oh, and swapping the batteries between the two phones and running a few days will tell if battery age is the problem.
I'd say it's time for a new battery. 2y old battery has significantly reduced capacity. I'm using original Samsung Epic 4G Touch SPH-D710 1800mAh battery, fits well in Captivate with stock cover. Battery life is very good for a smart phone. Stand-by >48h easily, holds >18h with about 2h talk + 3-4h screen on. Currently on SlimBean 2.5 ROM. Search eBay, it's about $15 only. Avoid cheap noname 1800mAh (or even more "on paper") Chinese batteries, usually the real capacity is well below claimed capacity.

I was getting a good 10 hrs on it till I reflashed it this last time. I had great battery life with that little phone. That includes texting and FB'ing talking
I have 2 more and I still get great battery life.
I've never tried RemICS JB but I'm in doubt the ROM itself is causing battery drain. I'm getting almost same battery live with CM10 Stable, PAC-ROM, SaltyBean SE, SlimBean. Currently running SlimBean. Make sure it's not an app you install after flashing the ROM. Never restore system data from your previous ROM, just user apps + data. Look at the battery panel and you'll see what is draining your battery. Btw, clearing battery stats does nothing. You can't really calibrate the battery. Android OS will adjust battery meter automatically after 2-3 recharges.

Yeah. I found out one prob was he was trying to charge it with just hooking it up to a pc. Know it seems back to normal since he used the wall charger, for a overnight charge
I've charged from the PC many times with decent battery life results... Don't know if that's the reason why the battery life has been cut short.
A good way to gauge what is causing the battery drain would be to do as ValD said. See what is using up the most battery life from the battery panel and try to deduce it from there.
Have you tried full wipe, re-d/l the ROM, and flashing the ROM again? Double check the md5 or sha1 code from the website when you d/l the ROM too.

yeah, some PC only provide max 100ma per port, which means ~ 15 hrs. and the cap in phone for usb is set to 350ma, or about 5 hours, unless you have kernel that supports fast usb charging.
still, if the phone was charged to 100%, it shouldn't matter whether AC charger or PC used. Was he not charging it to 100% ?
fyi, the difference to phone is that pins 2 and 3 of usb are shorted in AC charger. This causes phone to allow higher charging current, up to 900ma, or as much as battery can take without overheating.
Hello all. I've been having this problem for a while and I can't quite seem to solve it.
I'm using an MPJ 7000mAh extended battery, Slim Bean 4.2.2 build 7, NX kernel, overclocked to 1600mhz, and the Hyper CPU governor. I also set the voltage for 1.6ghz to 1300mV, which appears to be the same as 1.4ghz's stock voltage.

Thanks
This is exactly what my phone has been doing for months and I can't figure out for the life of me what it is. I have used several apps to monitor CPU, battery, and application usage, but I can't pinpoint what is causing it. I just turn off Wifi and data and it stops most of the battery usage. I was just coming to ask the same question, but I saw this post instead. I would love to figure this out, as it as happened on my current and last ROM.

It doesn't seem to be dependant on WiFi or data for me. I keep both of them off when I'm at home and the same thing still happens.
Hopefully we can both fix this stupid problem.
I was having a look at a review for the new Nexus 7, and the battery information on it looked very similar to that of mine.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/08/03/2013-nexus-7-review/
I switched back to Slim Bean's stock kernel. Looking much better. http://imgur.com/oTKW6TP.jpg

The Android OS looks a lot better than what mine looks like. Maybe I'll have to try that kernel also. What were you on before? I'm on a CM kernel that came with my rom.
How old is your Note? I acquired mine just a couple months after they very first came out. Over the past few months while on my current ROM, I have had lots of random freezing and shut downs. I figured it was the ROM and just kept on restarting. (I'm lazy and didn't want to flash something else). Froze today again, like usual, so I pulled the cover off, and yanked the battery. However, while the battery was out, I noticed that it has started to swell. I don't know if this is recent or I just haven't noticed it. Perhaps my battery is the cause of all my problems. I wouldn't doubt it, as the battery that went out in my Galaxy S 4g pretty much rendered the phone useless as it kept on swelling.
Now I don't know if the battery swelling could also be related to the high "Android OS' usage, but I thought I would let you know. That's two Samsung batteries that I have had go bad on me in my two most recent devices. I'll be ordering another OEM battery here shortly to see how it affects the problems I have had. I'm actually surprised that I didn't notice it yet. My stats right now have the battery at 14%, with 12+ hours on the battery, and only 36 minutes of screen-on time. Pretty screwed up stats, I'd say. Of course, Android OS is top of the list for using 64% of it so far.
Summary: Check battery. Maybe our problem has an easy solution.

If the battery is swollen it means it's faulty and if you leave it too long is likely to explode.

I know. I have already ordered a replacement.
I am new to the g2. Had it for a little over a week now. Tried a few roms. AOKP, Cyanogen, ect. Searched all over the forums but haven't found an answer. My wireless charger (dt-900) doesn't always work with them. It works fine with the rom that came with my g2 as well as the Mahdi rom, but that's it. My nexus 7 has no issues with the charging plate on any rom.
When I place the g2 on the charger the light on the charger will light up, but the g2 will act like nothing is has happened. If I leave it there for a minute sometimes the g2 will start charging but it's a false positive because when I take it off the charger it will act like it is still charging. At this point it will say it's charging (when its not even on the charger) forever until I reboot. It actually doesn't even reboot from there. I will choose reboot but it just crashes and shuts down.
Is this a known problem? Am I the only one? Is there something I can do to get it working? Appreciate any help.
I get weird wireless charging behavior with my VS980 as well, running hoang81's OmniROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2675016
Sometimes I have to reboot for it to recognize that the battery percent level to change after it's been on the phone for a while (sometimes it will even show fully charged after a reboot).
Also have experienced the same behavior you're describing.
I've noticed my VS980 will make subtle electrical noises if it's not position just right on my Nokia charger. But it does charge!

Hmm I have never heard the sounds of electrical noises. That doesn't sound good lol. Well at least I know I'm not alone with this problem. It has to be something in the rom or kernel. Been trying roms quite frequently and Mahdi is the only non lg kitkat rom that seems to have gotten the wireless charging right.
I too have been experiencing problems with wireless charging. I'm using a Nokia Fatboy charger, but have reached the conclusion that it's the phone not the charger. Just recieved the phone les than a week ago and immediately upgraded to 24a. I thought my problems were because of all the Xposed mods that I was doing, but yesterday I cleared battery stats using "battery calibration" app and am now seeing much better (normal) behavior, although I still on the discharge cycle of reseting the stats .bin yet so we'll see... I'll report back in a day or two... :thumbup:

I had just completed the discharge cycle of the recalibration and found the new Cloudyflex 2.0 and "had" to flash it so I still can't tell you... With my next charge I want to recalibrate again, soo... This is a free app and don't hurt anything to try it tho

Yeah I tried the liquid build as well. Mahdi is still the only non lg rom that will wireless charge my phone. Glad to know it isn't my phone or something I was doing wrong. Hopefully it will get figured out soon.

Hi everyone! My phone is 2 months old, 1 week ago, my phone start to heat so badly, in upper part is really really hot... As a matter of fact the battery is drained really fast, 3 hours in stand by... Before can get one day easily... Make a factory reset, doesn't work... The problem start a few days after I update de stage fright update, you think is the problem? Anyone else experience this? The phone is out of warranty in USA, cause is a UK version, xt1068....
Ty:good::good::good:
processor in probably running at full speed doing something it's not supposed to. I seriously doubt it's a hardware problem so I would recommend unlocking the bootloader and try using another ROM.
could it be as a UK phone in USA its always trying to find a better network? this would cause heat and drain issues?
Yeah think the same. I'll try... The 5.1 update it suppose to comes up this month...

I do not think so... Happens the same, without sim...
Besides, even when I charge power off, with a wall adapter 1A, it never charges, because it discharge more easily than charge. I have to charge with a 2A charger, but is really slow, more than 8 hours to get completly charge... What do you think?
As decipher said, what seems to be is a process eating all the battery and keeping the CPU at full speed. We don't know if it's an app you're using or an Android problem so to see it the best thing you can do is to unlock your bootloader, install twrp or cwm recovery and then flash a custom rom. Personally I had some overheating problems on my xt 1068 at stock version and battery drain, but not this 3 hours standby you're getting. Now I'm using Minimal OS and it's working nice! Tell us if it solves your problem! Good luck! :good::fingers-crossed:

Yes. I don't like to say this, but maybe it's a battery issue. But let's listen what other people say.
I hav bought a secound hand oneplus 3t and hav been using it since a couple of weeks i have a lot of battery drain when the phone is sitting idle jst like browsing chrome or something . Some of the examples of my drain is charged to 100% and after 32 min of use the battery drops to 80-83%
i have tried almost all the custom roms and the stock roms I get only around 3-4hrs sot only on the stock marshmallow rom i hit 5 hrs need help
really bad.
You'll need to provide a bit more info to figure out exactly what's causing the drain. Download BetterBatteryStats, that will allow you to see which Wakelocks are involved.
Also, how old is the phone? Considering the usage and charging habits of the previous owner, its possible the battery itself might have degraded since batteries do degrade over time.

To do that, for an accurate reading you'd euther need a multimeter or any other capacity meter, but i believe you'd have to open your phone up even if you did have one of those devices since the battery isn't user accessible.
However, you can also use apps such as Accubattery which give you a similar reading. It wont be as accurate but it'll give you a general idea.
