My phone is giving some really weird issues. all of it has started since I have upgraded to lollipop. First, the phone would hang mid way and then suddenly won't turn on. If would work only after I plugged it in to a charger and leave it for sometime. The phone would then start charging from 0%
So I went to recovery and did a factory reset. Clear cache, dalvik and data. Re-imported everything. Recharged the phone to 100%. And voila it worked on the same charge for 3 days. So far so good.
After the next recharge, I was showing one of my colleagues the custom recovery and the fastboot mode. When I turned the phone back on, it again hanged for a moment.
But this time around, instead of loosing all the charge, I lost only a part of it. Any ideas guys?

Howdy,
So I flashed my phone to cm4.2 last weekend and everything has been quite dandy. But I now I have a problem, and I kind of doubt its from the cmod because that was a week ago and this problem happened yesterday...
Yesterday I was talking on the phone until the battery died. Then I rushed to my charger and plugged it in. I tried to turn it back on but it would not. It goes to the G1 screen then to the CM boot animation screen then the screen turns BLACK! IT will not stop doing this. I have to keep pulling out the battery. Last night I even pulled out the SIM and battery for a few minutes. Then put them back and tried again. Same result. I charged it fully last night (while off) thinking that might help. This morning after the LED light was green I tried again to reboot the phone.. Also sometimes the phone will do this reboot sequence after I plug the charger in, but it still goes to the blank/black screen... awww..
I am really hoping I do not have to wipe the phone and start over again with my apps and stuff because I have not really found a great free backuper and have not backed up within the last few days. I can use home+end call button to get to the bootloader (right name?) screen. However I am REALLY hoping I do not have to wipe.
Any solutions? I tried searching but could not find an answer..
THANKS!! This is basically terrible timing too because I leave on vacation tomorrow morning and will be needing my phone.
hello my friend, recently i got my phone out of my pocket. i realized it was off. i tried to turn it on but nothing, then i pressed the off button on the back and it went on. stayed on for a couple of minutes, then the it frozen, the screen faded and it went off again. i left it the whole following morning charging, when i came back it turned on, stayed on for a couple of minutes (a little bit more of the previous time) then again same thing. if i charges it has a red light (sign that it is charging) if i disconnect the charger and try to switch it on it flashes 3 red light then it stops, and then again three red lights. i tried to charge it via computer but it wont be recognized, i also tried volume up and power button, volume down and power button, and the off button on the back. at the service center they say it cannot be fixed because it is out of warranty since the screen as been replaced by unofficial service. after a bit of charging it turned on today, but soon went off. i need help, i would at least want to know what the issue is. thanks a lot. ps. i can manage to let it work
Maybe try using flashtool to flash software. Don't wipe anything except maybe cache or so. See if that works

i flashed an old backup a few days ago, this backup used to work really well but i have been having this issue since more than a week and it gave me the same problem also with this backup. now i have wiped the chache via cmw. i will wait untill the phone gets to 50 percent of battery, then try to use it without the charger. i'll keep in touch
reply2
i wiped the chache . it worked for a couple of hours, then it went off. now when i try to charge it it shows no signs of life at all. does someone know if this could be a hardware issue? like the battery or something
I noticed today that my phone has maintained a 100% charge, even hours after being unplugged. I tried rebooting, but that didn't fix it. I tried to boot into recovery (I have TWRP) to see if I can wipe battery stats, but once I selected recovery, an empty battery icon appeared and the phone shut off. I tried to boot up normally again, and the phone crashed outright during the boot animation and shut off.
After a minute the phone started up by itself, and went through optimizing apps (I plugged it into a charger out of curiosity). Now that the phone was able to boot, the battery is at 5% and finally charging again.
Has anyone else had this happen with their N6, or have any idea as to what might cause this? For reference, I'm running the latest stock image (LMY48I), just unlocked, rooted, and with custom recovery.
Only thing I have seen is apparently wireless charging screws it up. Go into bootloader>bootloader logs and reboot from there. May reset it.
Hello, lately I've been having some battery drainage issues with my Huawei Ascend P7.
For some reason it drains really quickly (sometimes even when the screen is turned off). Sometimes my battery jumps from 40%+ to 15% and when I plug in the charger, it jumps back to 30%+ really fast.
My phone is rooted, I'm using Doze and Greenify to save some of the battery when the screen is turned off and I also have "Screen power saving" option turned on.
I have taken some screenshots of the battery usage and one of my phone's specifications.
Does someone know what might be wrong with my phone or could there be something wrong with the battery all of a sudden?
Did you try to reinstall Android new?
Or at first a factory reset?

I flashed B852 package's recovery and boot. Then rebooted to recovery mode, wiped data and cache, then rebooted to install mode and installed B852 ROM (dload/UPDATE.APP).
The phone turns on fine, but the battery percentage just drops so quickly and once it even shut off when it was at 60%. When I tried to boot it back up it said it was outta battery.
And one time when my phone turned off and wouldn't turn back on, I plugged in the charger and it told me the phone still had 32% battery. I turned on the phone, unplugged the charger and it shut off in a minute or two. When I plugged the charger back in, it still told me I had 30%+ battery left.
I think the problems began when I flashed https://forum.xda-developers.com/as.../kernel-huawei-ascend-p6s-p7-k-tuned-t3355223 kernel. But I installed a clean B852 ROM and the problem still persists.
Thats really strange, but this kernel is not the problem.
I also have a P7-L10 B852 and using this kernel without any problem...
But right after installing this kernel I also had some strange problems...
Sometime my phone rebooted it self or if it was locked and I pressed the power button to wake it up, it just stayed black and it got really hot...
I don't know what py phone did at this moment because if you are looking at the battery info in settings, it says my phone just was turned off and even lost battery but it wasn't really off...
My solution was a clean install (erasing and flashing every single image and after that 3-button-method)
After that boot up your phone
Now shut it downs install the kernel again
Boot up
Shut downs
(Maybe flash original boot.img
Boot up
Shut down)
Install kernel again
Boot up
I'm using this kernel for more then a half year now and I don't face any problems anymore...
I think the battery itself was the problem. I removed the back cover, removed the battery and cleaned the connector pins with alcohol. When I turned the phone back on about 30 minutes later, under "Power saving" smart power plan option shows me the phone will last for 11 h 30 min at 83% (WiFi turned on), when it used to be like 2-4 hours at 90%. I'll keep monitoring for a while to see if the problem is truly gone.
Thanks for your help.
//edit1: Never mind, I tried playing with the CPU voltages and it froze, so I turned it off. Turned it back on and the problem was back. It jumped down from 80% to 14% and in a minute or two, the battery died. When I booted it into recovery, TWRP says I still have 34% left. So I rebooted into system, it showed me I did have 34% left, but it turned off. Going to try your advice now.
//edit2: Got it to work properly again. Hopefully I won't touch something that will mess it up again.
Maybe your battery itself is the problem but to proof that you will need a second P7 to change batteries of them...
But such extrem battery-problems I have never faced...
You could send it to Huawei support, maybe they will say you if your battery is damaged...
So you could buy a new one and change it
Have you tried calibrating your battery?
I don't think it's a calibration problem
But if you want you could try it...
Charge your phone to 100%
Now delete the batterystats.bin at /data/system
Reboot your phone
Use your phone normally and let it discharge right before it's shutting down it self (3% I think)
Now charge it again to 100%
While charging your phone you should not touch it or unplug the charger
Last night I went to sleep with the battery being at 90%+, woke up to my phone being dead (the alarm didn't go off).
Tried turning it on, it showed me I had 50%+ battery, but it turned off shortly after. I plugged the charger in, and it said I have 58%.
And yes, I have tried calibrating my battery. But I can try doing it again when I get back home from work tonight.
//edit: Battery calibration didn't help. I'll just have to wait until the new battery arrives. Or should I try locking the bootloader?
Why you want locking your bootloader?
Do you want to send it to the support
If you already bought a new battery, wait for it and put it in
Seems that the battery itself was the issue after all. After putting in the new battery, everything seems to be back to normal.
Yesterday out of no where my phone died. it was just sitting on my couch and I went to turn it on and it was completely unresponsive. Could get screen to turn on, charging light wasnt lighting up, couldnt get into recovery or DL mode with button combos. I put the phone on my wireless charger and even though I knew the battery wasnt dead i would leave it for few minutes. I could see it was charging even though the light on phone wasnt on, the light on bottom of charger was on indicating it was charging. From what I knew I had at least 30+% when this happened.
After about 15 minutes I was able to ONLY get into Download mode and was able to reboot from there. Once phone restarted, everything was fine, battery was at 40% just like i thought. Like nothing happened.
I decided to Factory Data Reset the phone and start fresh. Ive had it since the Note 9 released and never reset anything.
After the FDR the phone was still on the April 2020 patch, I thought I would have to download all the updates again. Is this right? I FDR'd from the recovery menu, not the settings app.
Phone feels so much better now starting fresh on the April patch. I was losing around 10-15% battery over night on stand by. Last night Iost 3%. I remember it was like this when I first got phone. Guess I will FDR more often.

Smooth as butter and long lasting battery after FDR .
