I am facing a battery problem. whenever i reboot or boot into recovery, the battery level randomly falls down about 10 to 20 percent.. also, if i connect the charger after a discharge, the battery starts charging from 0 but when i boot the phone, sometimes it just charges up straight to 15 percent or 20 percent.. if i disconnect the charger and start using the phone, the battery starts discharging normally and continues till zero again (sometimes it jumps straight from 3 percent to zero).. dont understand whats going on..
actually this problem started after i flashed ivan's first build of the lollipop rom (using true dual boot).. at that time i thought its a bug.. but after that it started when i had only miui too..
please help..

Actually, let me tell you what happened yesterday.. I was using the phone, so the battery came down to 0 and the phone switched off.. I connected the charger, so the phone went started charging from 0 percent.. Fair enough.. But when i switched the phone on.. (Booted into android) the battery level went straight to 12 percent.. So, i disconnected the charger and was able to use the phone for some 15 minutes. After that, the battery fell down to 0 from 5 percent.. Then, i allowed the phone to charge for some time.. It reached the level of 64 percent. And then i deleted the batterystats.bin and rebooted.. The battery level went to 86 percent straight..
So what i suspect is.. I dont have a battery problem since if i loose charge after a reboot, i get that back during charging..
And i dont know why but this problem occurs more often when i boot into the recovery.. Any guesses why recovery is causing this ?

The same thing is happening to me too right now in cm13. So i reverted back to miui where the battery jump doesn't happen but while using normally battery discharge is erratic like it goes from 32 to 20 in a minute. This happens a lot more when charge is below 20 percent. while using normally when the battery is at 100, it goes to 80 after 1 hr of usage but 20-0 takes 10 minutes in cm13.
i have tried calibrating the battery many times to no improvement whatsoever.
As you said when the battery discharges completely the phone turns off. Now when i plug into the charger and boot it to cm13 the battery indicator shows 19 or 23 or some random number
Did you find any fix for this erratic behavior ?
- If you're using custom kernel, stop using it and revert to stock.
- Either dirty flash (to revert the kernel)+use/wait until the battery's ran out+charge it while turned off, OR clean flash without using custom kernel

Yes 2 days ago I wiped everything including internal storage and installed cm13
So you don't have this issue ? Which ROM are you on right now?
Somehow it feels like twrp is causing this cause whenever I boot to recovery there is a battery drop by 2-3 percent or suddenly the battery shows 60 or something like that instead of 30 or whatever the correct value is

I'm on AOKP currently, swtching from CM13 since I wanted to try it. I got the same problem seldomly, but that's because of custom kernel keep on borking the battery calibration.
If I were you, I'd started searching for a new battery, just in case it was dying out. If my memories serves me right, before I need to replaced my battery because of short bootloops, my battery's level also started to jump haphazardly without any reason.

Maybe my battery has become faulty but I still feel this is a software problem because since I moved from twrp 3.0.2-0 and cm13 to twrp 2.8.7.0 and aokp the battery jumps have become less frequent but they are still there.
If it was a software problem I think most people wouldn't notice as they won't use their phones till the battery discharges completely all the time.

bad news my friend, my mi3 started doing the same, a week later I was taking some pictures and then suddenly it started to bootloop or only boot to fastboot mode. The only solution was to replace the battery. I hope is not the same with your phone. Good Luck
Hmm.. But this thing started with me in just 6 months after buying the phone.. Also, the screen on time i get is more or less the same as others.. So i dont think so that my battery is bad.. I have tried calibrating it many times but no luck.. And for some reason, my battery always jumps from 13 percent to 10 percent directly :laugh:
having the same problem since i flashed MM roms. If the battery only left 10% , it will drained in minutes
Same problem with me.
I was having similar problems! Until later on I came to the conclusion that my phone was not getting charged correctly! I was and am using OEM charger! So charger problem was out of the question!
Then I thought that it might be the battery problem, since the phone is now 2 years old! I disassembled my phone out of curiosity to check the status of the battery, has it swelled or leaked! Turns out that the charging port was dead! The litmus dot over the the charging port had turned to pink, symbolizing that some water or moisture had entered in somehow! I went to the nearest Xiaomi Service Station and ordered for the part!
You too can check if this might have happened to your phone too!

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
my phone had the same problem i have flash any costum rom but nothing and then i have flashed a stock original rom for fix that....and then retry a costum rom.

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.

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

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
First off, i know ALOT of people have this issue, and have brought it up across several topics and custom rom pages, but i dont think theres a specific thread for this.
After unplugging my phone from the charger at 100%, it drops to 98 percent immediately, within seconds. After that to 96, then 94, and then it stays steady and starts discharging normally. Basically, within a minute or two the charge drops from 100 to 94 percent without any use whatsoever. This happens across multiple roms so its not a rom issue.
Ive tried wiping the entire phone, running it down to 0% and recharging, recharging it back to 100% once it hits 94%, but the problem keeps recurring.
Is the battery starting to lose its life? What are some ways i can test to see whats causing this? Or better yet, a way to fix this?
For example, is there an app that can tell you the capacity of the battery at any given time, so i can check if it actually drops mAh between 100% and 94%?
Oh yea, and i normally take the phone off the charger right when the green light turns on and it hits 100%, so its not caused by trickle charging.
Any tip is appreciated.
Unplugging and plugging it back in right after it hits 100% causes the phone to start charging from 95% again, happened twice in a row now.

im not sure if its a battery issue or a system issue, it seems like the battery isnt getting topped off properly since plugging it right back in causes it to start charging from 95% again. It seems to me that it never actually reaches 100%
Same here with AOSP or Sense Rom, after i load the One over the night, plugged it off (with 100%) and turn the scrren 2 minutes later on - it loose 2 %.
In beginning i never had this - sometimes my mobile was running over 2 days without charging (Slimrom) now over 1 day running is rarely.
I think its the battery, the companies want the people buy new stuff year by year and now the time is correct with the new HTC M8 release..

thats prolly just a delay because turning on the phone uses quite a bit of battery, so the 2% is probably a result of that. One or two percent after charging is explainable, but anything more than that (ie 4-10%) then theres a problem.
same problem
I have the same problem...I charge the phone until 100% and turn off , next i turn on and lose 10% ......
this problem start with rom 4.4.2....i change to other 4 roms and the problem not go away
Now i try to downgrade to 4.3 to test

Found a way to fix it: turn off fastboot, fixed the issue for me.
Additionally, theres a calibration method that comes directly from HTC to fix this issue.
Let the phone charge while on for at least ten minutes, turn the phone off while still plugged in, and hold power, volume up, and volume down for two minutes. The phone will reboot several times.
Didn't have to do this since turning off fastboot did the trick for me.
How i turn off fastboot??
Here i can find calibration method from HTC?
Enviado do meu HTC One
I thought this was normal. it happens to me too but i thought it was because when the phone is at 100 while charging, it stops charging till it gets to 95 while still reporting 100. so if the charge is at 95 but it displays 100 and you remove the charger it would drop to 95 after a minute.

Hi, I have a Sony Xperia Z1 running cm12 nightlies. I've been getting this problem where the phone shows 40% battery but turns off at this and on restart shows 1%
This was okay, however, recently it has started turning off at 70%
I don't really want to replace the battery, as my warrenty is voided (isn't it) and it's not the easiest thing to disassemble.
Thanks.

Don't waste your time on flashing and calibrating. You have classic symptoms of a dying battery. Soon, the phone would shut down at 90%, because your battery capacity is 6-7 times less. Try to run a youtube video and your phone will die in less than 20 min.
If you read this and general threads, you would have found similar complains. You need to replace your battery.

Because battery is measured by voltage and when voltage goes down to a certain level, kernel shuts down the phone. If your normal battery has 20 cells, yours has only 3 left and voltage goes down rapidly under load, because the other cells are dead. Even if the battery has 1 cell left, when it is charged, the phone will show 100%, while there is a real capacity to hold just a few percents.
Watch youtube videos on how to change the battery. You may or may not break the back pannel (I did). So, get a replacement back glass too.

I had same issue with my z1 since last 4-5 weeks. Thinking that battery is dying I changed it yesterday with a brand new sony battery. Now even after changing my battery, the problem persists. Phone switches off suddenly with 45-60% charge left.
I am on PAC Roam running 5.1.1 . Prior to this I have tried MX rom, Ressurection remix and few other ROMs running 5.1.1 however the same problem wa there as well.
I think it is not only to do with battery but with something else. Please help

You probably have a random reboot issue (thanks to some recent dumb kernel/rom improvements), as opposed to switch off. Look for what your battery shows after reboot: if it is 1%, it is battery related and you got a bad replacement. If it is close to the value before reboot, it is your rom/kernel. There is no third option. And by the way, battery drain has nothing to do with bad battery. Most drains are caused by Gapps and social apps. Also, if you install a new rom or battery, you have to give it a few charging cycles.

Sometimes (like just 10 mins back) my phone goes off and when I reboot it, it comeback with same battery percentage but most times it needs charging to reboot and when it comes back alive, battery stat is 1%
Same was the case with my last battery. Now I am even more confused as to what is the exact cause Should I lock my bootloader and flash Stock 5.1.1. ftf and see if problem still persists?

If your phone boots on its own after switching off, then it is not the battery issue. CM roms are becoming worse and worse for several reasons: too many devices; bad sources from google and incompetent software guys (both at CM and Google). I don't like apple and their products, but when one entity controls hardware and software, you will have fewer bugs. Google pays their engineers for introducing more and more ad related things into Android, as opposed to making Android a full blown operating system.
Go to stock and see how long your new battery lasts: if it dies after 20 min of youtube, you have a bad battery. Period. If it is not, then find a custom rom that does not have random reboots, which unfortunately there is only 2 or 3...
For any measurements to be valid, you need to give your battery at least one cycle on a current rom (from 100% to 15-16%).
P.S. You may have both issues. If you paid $10-12 for a new battery, then most likely, you have a Chinese fake that only looks like real Sony...

I bought it in Rs 1500 (approx $30) from authorized sony service centre which also gave me a warranty of 6 months. Worst case I can return it to them but just want to be sure before I try and do that.
My phone switched on once after going off and it was with same battery stat (last instance). there have been couple of times when I could turn my phone on but it showed only 1 or 2% battery.

Just do what I recommended in the previous post: go to stock, fully charge and see how long the battery lasts on youtube: in 20 minutes, you should lose no more than 13-15% on a new battery, as opposed to go to zero. Some Z1 batteries have a problem: Mine died about 9 months ago. My old Xperia ION (which is a 2012 phone) battery is still going strong (lasts for at least 2 days on Jeallybean).

I just recharge it to 100% and ran YouTube for 35 mins and from 100 it went to 93%..!!
Only 7 battery loss for 30mins YouTube on 240p and full volume
I hope the issue was there for first few cycles. In case if still persists, will try and flash FTF tomorrow and see what happens:fingers-crossed:

That means your battery is fine and you have random reboots related to the rom you use. Here are custom roms that have no reboots: slimrom; tesla, DU and Jaguar. The last 3 are mine. LOL. I am not promoting my roms, don't need to (just look at the number of downloads, especially Jaguar)... In case of Jaguar, you have to flash November 1 kernel on top of the latest release. It is in November that they introduced changes that cause reboots...
Haha..
I know you don't have to plug-in your roms. I guess I will hold it for a day to see how my phone behaves. Major battery drain is when I play Clash of Clans. I am on CoC to check endurance. If not, them will move to Jaguar with Nov kernel on top.
I have realized that it's somewhere in November since there random reboots and battery issues started

I flashed latest Jaguar with Nov 1 kernel and c6902 modem (Version 4). Have also flashed 5.1 gapps (Micro version) and restored all my apps. have created Zip from titanium backup.
Phone still went off from around 75% battery. when restarted again, it came back with 45% battery, just to die within 30 seconds :crying:
My phone turns off at 5% every time!! The phone is working great. It doesn't turn off randomly but everyday at 5% it turns off and tells me to plug in the charger. After plugging in the charger the phone keeps on showing the battery logo and it turns on after pressing power button a couple of times while the charger is plugged in. What could be the problem? Or is it normal? I remember when i was on stock, the phone used to turn off at 2%. Im using Chroma Rom.

Seems normal to me. The battery condition becomes slowly worse.
When possible don't discharge below 20-30%.
haven't seen one of these in a while. people used to talk about battery calibration, but i'm not sure if it is a real thing.
check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/dying-17-battery-t3062050
The battery on this phone is being let to go very low in the normal 100 - 0 range as it is. As it ages the low end will drop quicker and quicker. The qhd oled they used on this phone is really not nice for the battery. You can buy a new one on aliexpress.
Fixed!

Nice to hear. Success with Android N.
I wait for the final version; because mob30o is working fine.
I am on Repulsa rom with mad max kernel. And the battery life is pathetic. From 100 to 20% there is no problem but as soon the battery goes below 20% it will literally go to zero in 10 sec and will shut down. It happens 9/10 times.. As soon as it goes below 20% it will shut down in few seconds.. This is not rom or kernel issue because this has happened with different rom and Kernel too.. If anyone can help it would be of great help..
Battery is badDegraded. common thing with phone batteries. Gotta get the battery replaced

degraded battery is usually covered but you tripped knox when you installed twrp. so you may not be eligible for warranty

I dont have that much knowledge but i am unrooted and happened to me serveral times as my battery shut downs in 13 percents. I looked for a solution and my issue resolved. Hope if it can help you
Maybe its calibration issue
Maybe your phone thinks 20% is 0
Try using fully discharge your battery until it shutsdown then go to recovery mode and waste the juice until it turn off and dont even boot into recovery. Then charge full with power off and again discharge to 0. Again to 100 and see if problem solves.
If not then maybe issue is with battery
I'm getting 5-7 hours here depending on the usage but to be sure go back to stock room for 5 days and check the SOT BY THE WAY I'm on Lightrom with the mad Max kernel
My phone used to be like this... so annoyed.
I tried everything but no result: using battery calibrate apps or methods, flashing stock rom, reinstalling TWRP,...
I am quite sure when your phone is at 20%-, you can't see battery % in TWRP mode :V.
I think the cause is TWRP ( data can't mount )
Here is what HAPPENED to my phone )
I flashed ECHO rom and my phone got bootloop..."Only official binaries ...."
Fine....too easy to fix... I flashed my stock rom and ta da... My phone's battery was Fixed :V
So ...you can consider bootloop your phone to fix the problem ))) Then wait 7 days without restarting your phone... reinstall TWRP ( "NOUGAT" or "OREO" ). And when you download dm-ver... zip to install TWRP, look carefully for LATEST version "LATEST". And dont update your TWRP or use themes for TWRP (Old is gold, simple is perfection :v , fuctional is too enough)
GOOD LUCK

Why wait 7 days with no reboot? Not needed if it's to make the OEM toggle visible...just wait 7 days or use the date-change workaround. Reboots affect the uptime timer but not the server-side OEM unlock timer.

Happened to me lately on stock, never rooted. Try turning off quick charge and use normal method instead for a few cycles. Maybe test on stock firmware just to be safe. If no improvement it might be a degrading battery.
I am thinking to factory reset the phone to see if the problem is solved.. N try the solutions offered ie calibration, quick charge off

Sounds good, just be careful with calibration...fully charging or discharging the battery reduces it's overall lifespan. Don't do it too often.
I did factory reset including internal storage wipe and calibration Bt still the problem exists.. Now the battery will go down to 15 then directly 14,12,10,5 in seconds even if I connect charger at 15 it will go down till 3%..

Hmm that's frustrating. Not sure if there might be another cause or fix, otherwise might be the battery itself.

Yeah, it can be possible to degrade the battery that quickly.
It usually happens when you let your phone go under 20% frequently or let it die completely before charging it again.
I usually do the lowest 25-30% and the 80+% charge daily, then finally use it all the way to 20% before going to sleep, put it on a slow charger, and by next morning its at 100% without keeping it charged 100% all night (which can also degrade the battery, just a lot slower than discharging it completely.)
I have had my phone a week before it came out and my battery is awesome. It lasts me all day everyday. Best phone I have ever had.
