Battery Problem

I have noticed in many roms which I tried.......our galaxy ace does not show correct battery %........when I put my ace for charging at 15-20% .......when I check after 5-10 mins battery jumps to directly 55-60%.....and when I remove charge battery drains suddenly to 25-30%.
And when I left my phone for charging for more than 30-40mins phone says that it is charged!!! Wtf
And experiencing sudden drain to 60-70%!
Can anyone help to improve that!!!

yesterday night while watching some movie for fun i slept and phone drained fully as player moves on to next video automatically..
after waking up charged phone for about 25 minutes and my phone was alive for 9 hours with some 10 texts and 15 min call

Man, if you wanna stay out of this inconsistent battery readings then just blindly charge your phone for more than 2 and half hours. Also use, "Battery Calibration" after full charge every week.

Screen flickerig on low battery despite battery replacement

Hi,
Hey i am using my note for a year now, and my phones battery got swelled, with some discussion on xda i was adviced to replace my battery which i did with another original samsungs battery. Now this new battery is charging and discharging fine, and is giving me an on screen time of 5 hours with constant messaging and music and some browsing, the issue that i am having is of battery indication and screen flickering.
First the screen flickering issue, whenever i am below 20 % my screen starts to flicker and it keeps on flickering till the phone dies, sometimes even at 15%. Then when i tried to charge it, it charges from 0.
At times when i partially charge my phone, say i am on 50% and then when i unplug my phone at 60%, it then shows 75% indication but then the flickering starts at 30% and phone dies at 26%.
The battery is giving average time so i think its not a battery issue or maybe it is.
But then i mostly found it a battery indication issue, i read multiple threads and even wiped my battery status. but the issue is the same.

may be give it a few charging cycles.. charge it from 0 to 100 with phone off.. till it says completely charged.. then check the performance..

Maybe you bought a faulty battery!?! did you bought the orignal samsung battery?

Your phone is just a mirage as are all of your flaming posts.

you sure its original, some fake ones out there, Id still bring it back If I were you

Well yes its from samsungs outlet, dated and stamped.. otherwise the battery indicators and every other stat is good. On full charge it has 4.320 V. Discharging equally to 2.8 V. But indications is not going according to the drain and flickering at low %.

I am having a similar issue where my screen will flicker for a minute and then immediately turn off and charge from 0%. I was wondering if it could be a kernel issue as my battery is the stock battery and has never had problems before (I am on XXLSC). To me it looks like the battery is not getting enough power (hence the flickering) and then turns off. Sometimes if I turn off my phone as soon as it starts to flicker and I wait 10-15 minutes I can turn it back on no problem, other times it will just die. I have tried clearing battery stats, and was going to try my spare battery but apparently that swelled in storage.
Good luck in figuring it out! I will report back if I find anything new.

4320volt, interesting, I think its faulty, its off about 120 volts. If it depletes at a higher voltage, it looks like something is astray with the meter/level indication or battery

Sorry for the confusion it actually was 4320 mV or 4.320 v when full charged.
Let me post some screen shots. The overall on screen time is around 5 hours. So the battery is giving a good timming.

I had a couple of 4hrs screen time (data only) on the last firmware but on. 434 i never have..max was 3hrs40 mins but note this was all data with no Wi-Fi whatsoever..

I love my XZ, BUT the terrible battery life is getting to me. I am not a heavy user but I don't make it to the end of the day. And then it takes forever and ever to charge.
I am very disappointed with the phone in that respect, and if I would have realized this before I bought it, I would have probably not bought this phone.

Good Sony good.

use Stamina mode
battery is still problem with all smartphones
S III worked even worse for me
it used 10% after full charging in standby mode after few minutes But
xperia Z s using 0 % in more than 2hrs in standby mode
try to manage ur background apps.
i recommend to use xperia app manager and don use another task manager and etc.

re: Battery
I have an Acro HD, Galaxy Note, Sharp SH003, Sony Mini, and the Z. I don't see that the Z's battery is all that worse than the others. I leave WiFi on all the time for all of them (so I don't need to pay or care about data plans...)
Specifically, I usually watch TV for an hour on the way to work and another hour on the way home (the hardware 1seg feature or Hulu type service).
I may play with it sometimes during the day. I leave Skype, Groove IP, and some Japanese VOIP apps running all day too, and I don't charge it until I get home.
Even so, I get home and my battery is over 40-50%.
So obviously it's not that bad.
The note is better because it has a bigger battery I think. The iPhone is better because.. well you can't *have* stuff like Skype run reliably in the background.
Of course according to Sony's white paper, the processor is quad core, but the cores are powered up and down as needed. If you play heavy games or something it may power up all four cores and kill the battery faster.

new experiment :
Phone is well and good in deep sleep.
I charged my battery to 100 yday night, and didnt use anything.it barely used power...now my battery is on 99 today morning
May be devs should include fast charge support and other battery tweaks to make it interesting..sony cant be very confident about their software and give us a low capacity battery..hope there ll b a battery wid good capacity available on ebay which we could replace..

[Q] Battery Drain and Overheating after upgrading to Lollipop

So I've just upgraded my C5502 to Lollipop [Customized US] 3 hours ago and the Battery Drain is crazy, It has dropped from 96% to 54% in about 2 hours, and it kept discharging even after plugging the charger, it's now 48%.
Is anybody facing the same problem? And does anyone know how to solve this?

I am also using US version but no such problem

Yes it did happen for the first few reboots. I know it's weird but I think Google play store is draining battery. Anyways, let the device settle, and I can assure you that battery life will be atleast equal to that of kitkat, I am getting better life in lollipop and I also experienced the issues you are having right now, just wait and it will be fine.

Battery dies despite not being 0?

Hey guys, recently my phone has been turning off at around 15-20% battery remaining. Before it drop from 15% to 1% within a matter of 45 seconds and then die, but as of recently it has been turning off at 20% and then it goes into a bootloop until I plug it in again. I've a N910W8 and am on TEKXodus URv3.6R3. I can't take it in for warranty as the phone is (obviously) rooted. I've already tried the battery calibration app on Play Store and I'm going to try Poprocks rom and if that fails, I'm going to go back to stock LP and then try my luck at the Samsung Warranty Center. Any other suggestions would be great! Thanks!

I'm completely stock, never rooted. It's been dieing between 5-10% left. I think it's just lollipop.

I agree with comment above. Same thing happened to me before since updated to Lollipop

Add me to this. It'll be like at 15 then all of the sudden it dies. ****ing annoying.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

Just an update guys, I reverted back to stock (A0A1) 4.4.4 and then installed FireKat V13X Canadian Edition and my battery is no longer acting up. Definitely a Lollipop issue.

same thing for me. for older phones i remember having a recovery that let me reset the battery stats. i also noticed that when i charge it after it goes from above 10% to 0% and turning off, when i charge it, it would give me the percentage before it turned off. i almost thought it was a battery issue but i see from others its not. i dont leave the phone charging for long times and dont use the phone while charging.

I've been having battery problems lately too, the OEM one gets warm and does the sudden drop thing(went from 20 to 11% in an instant the other night), and even my Anker seems to drain much faster these days on both KK & LP. Neither Wakelock detector nor Gsam can find anything wrong, so I think maybe they're both just aging and need replacing :/

My stock Tmobile Note 4 was turning off at about 60%, then when I plugged in the OEM fast charger, the phone battery display came up at 0%. I called Tmobile and they sent me a new battery, problem gone now. I don't know how old your battery is, but it can also be an indication of a battery on its way out.
I'm on 5.0.1.

I never had it shut down at such a high indicated percentage, but on LP it would consistently shut off at 2-4%.
I went back to KK and it doesn't do that anymore.

I have the same problem. Anywhere from 10-30% the battery can die in an instant. Happened a couple of times while looking at the screen - the battery drops to zero in about 3 seconds. Wont boot up again until the charger is plugged in.
In my case I don't think its the software. Was working great for months - this is something that is steadily getting worse. I only noticed because I wasn't getting the battery level warnings at 15 and 5%, which I did used to get with the lollipop OS. Have ordered a new battery, hopefully this will do the trick.

Got new batteries
Update: I bought new batteries and so far so good. I think it was just an issue with the Samsung batteries. Went with Anker this time and everything seems to be good.

Just get a new battery. I had this same problem with the n6 until I got. Refurb

Think it has something to do with kernel?
... lucky for you the battery is removable

no has nothing to do with the kernel, either its a calibration issue with your battery or you got a dud

Yes, I had the same. Bought new battery. Not yet sure if sudden drop is fixed since it now lives way longer and lasts through entire day and still has 40-50% left.
Drop will probably be fixed, too.

Definitely a battery. With new one I drove with google navigation for 3 hours, put total over 4 hours of screen time and still couldn't get it to 0. Went to bed when it still was 10% or so.
Pretty amazing after old battery which would barely last through the day and died after 15%

Did battery replacement solve the problem for you guys? I'm having this issue for a few days now, and it can't be lollipop, I've upgraded months ago. Also, which replacement battery would be the best?

OK, this is some really weird behaviour. At 14% the "plug in your phone" warning sounds and it goes to power save mode. I rush to plug it in before it shut down. I plug it in on time, the "fast charge" message triggers. But, instead of charging, the battery goes down to 13%. 9%. I turn off the screen not to drain the power more and I wait for a few seconds. Turn on again, it's 4%. Turn off and wait some more. I turn on, and it's 1%. So I turn off again and wait, expecting it to shut down when it reaches 0%. It doesn't. I turn the screen back on again, and it's 3%. 5%. 12%. Charging normally. I don't get it why it went down to 1% before it started charging? And why the sudden power collapse only after the "battery low" message went off? It worked fine before that. If this is a battery issue, which is a hardware issue, why was it triggered by the software "battery low" message?
