Ever since Lollipop, my HTC One M8 has been a battery hog! I'm running Venom 4.x.x and my battery only lasts less than 7 hrs. Yesterday my battery completely died, I went home to charge and it won't turn on at all. The red charge light kind of flickers when plugged in and nothing when unplugged. It's been charging for 19 hours and still nothing. What could possibly be wrong? Is there any way to recover from this?
**bump**
Did you find a solution ? I had a problem yesterday withy phone I was flashing a mod and didn't put attention about battery levels , during flashing my phone went off and the battery charging light started flashing and displaying a battery on my screen . Since then I haven't been able to turn it on anymore, I keep it plug in the charger all night and nothing

Hello, when I got my g1 it wouldn't charge phone would boot up when it was plugged in the light would come on and it would display "charging 0%" on the lock screen and would shut off whenever it was unplugged, with some messing around, rebooting removing reinstalling battery and plugging and unplugging the phone I managed to get it to start charging, all was great other than the battery only lasted like 3 hours, and whenever the phone lost power either by pulling the battery or even shutting it off properly it would revert back to 0% and wouldn't charge again till I messed with it and it would work again, so I ordered a new battery, when it came in I installed it and everything was awesome, I could restart the phone or remove the battery flash roms all that good stuff like it was supposed to, till yesterday, I have had the replacement battery about a month now and my phone was running low on charge since I wouldn't be home for a while I shut it down to save it for later, I was walking by the phone sitting there and I saw the back light turn on and off so I thought dang back to the same ol problem, tried to turn it on and just a dim red led and no power on, when I got home plugged it in let it charge for a few min and held the power button I got the red led and it finally turned on to "charging 0%" I was mad at it tested voltafe at battery terminals and phone terminals plugged in power everywhere it should be but still no turn on, I didn't my messing around again and got it to charge but it was back to 3 hour or so battery life and it would be at 0% if I shut it down, I don't think its the connection with the battery because I haven't removed it in a good 3 weeks or shut the phone off since my last flash 3 weeks ago.
It did this with the first battery before I rooted but here's current setup
Phone is black g1 drea100
Rom htc adp-drc83 rooted base with exp pack
Radio 2.22.19.26I
Recovery ra-dream-v1.5.2
Thanks for any help
Hey everyone. I was hoping that somebody could help me out with an issue that has just happened..Every night i plug my xperia tl into a wall charger, and turn it off. then i usually turn it back on when i wake up in the morning. This morning however, my phone wouldnt turn on. I unplugged it, then tried turning it on but still no luck. I plugged the phone back in and it turned the screen on showing the batter had 0%. I waited a few minutes then turned it on, and it worked, but i had like 1% battery. Basically i had my phone off all night, plugged into a charger and i woke up and the battery was dead. I've tried restarting it thinking it was a battery calibration error and that it might reset it but it still had a dead battery. Also when i restart my phone it usually resets the battery usage chart but it wont reset. Also on the graph it shows a sudden drain of the battery. the battery was at like 30% then went right to 0%..anyone else have this issue? And could anyone tell me how to fix it?? Thanks!
Okay, a little but later i tried unplugging my phone and restarting it again. When i turned it back on i saw a spike in the battery. It jumped from 40% to 55%...then when i plugged it back in it went back down to 40%...is there something wrong with the batter calibration? I just cant figure it out..
Another possibility is that the battery is damaged. Despite the charger being off at the wall, there is still a residual current. Connecting anything to an off socket for has always carried a risk, it's how many fires start
The phone actually warns you of this, think about the green message that says also unplug your charger from the wall.
I hope I'm wrong and it is just calibration error. Good job it's a tl with removable battery.
Should be able to get sorted under warranty though if it's not unlocked just say it wouldn't turn on.

TL doesn't have a removable battery.
I am also having issues w/ my battery draining very quickly after little to no use. when i check the battery usage it says the ebay app is using most of the charge but I never even had it open (I FC it), and now its saying the screen is using 54% of the battery even though the screen was turned off. whats the deal?
Hi - a few days ago my SGN turned off when I was playing GTA so I plugged it in and kept playing it. I noticed that battery levels were reported as ~50% before the first switch offs then 14% when I switched it on again. Then it happened again a few times then it turned off when I switched on WiFI just after booting. Basically over the last day or so it started turning off during the boot animation and wouldn't even boot most of the time.
So after reading a few threads here I tried flashing to stock GB then stock JB - it pretty reliably boots to the language choice screen then switches off on the next screen which turns on WiFi as it happens, not sure if this is relevant but wierdly when it was switching off in GTA it seemed to be at the same spot each time in the game. The thread which I got method from said to use Kies but I could only use Odin to flash JB since it turned off before it finished:\
Also discovered that whilst it will switch off on the CWM screen even it appears to be fine when it's in download mode.
So looking at another method to fix this here I put Note into download mode and ran down the battery, left it for 10 minutes, turned it on again until it died again, left it for an hour and fully charged it off wall outlet. Basically this appeared to do nothing for the situation.
So I don't know what to do next - any suggestions? I'm pretty sure it's some issue with the battery but I don't know what: it can sit for hours and hours in download mode to run flat without switching off but will switch off during CWM recovery and just after booting stock JB ATM.
I'm thinking I'll grab a cheapo battery off Ebay and see what happens to start with. Can anyone suggest anything else?
I'm sure You can use the phone while keeping it on constant charge. How old is your battery? This is surely a battery problem and i suggest you to buy the original samsung battery. And once you change your battery, do not overcharge the battery by keeping it for charging overnight and such ways.

It was restarting when it's plugged in to charger but I just switched it on and got past all the OS setup steps so fingers crossed. Turned off as soon as I uplugged the charger though.
Battery is original and quite old, got the device late 2011. Thanks for the advice.
Replace the battery asap with original one as if the battery is overused, it may swell up and damage the back cover. Do hit thanks if i helped
So i had what I thought was a small issue but as of 10 minutes ago it has exploded.
My battery was discharging whilst plugged in.
I took the battery to the phone store and he tells me the battery is fully charged, but on MY phone it reads YELLOW EXCLAMATION and dead.
Bought an extended life battery since that stock one was not lasting and was told yeah they die over time, its a year old yadda yadda yadda
Well that extended life did nothing more but charge and die
It read 100% when i left for work yesterday, came back a few hours later and it was dead.
I complained and the seller sent a new one, arrived today, had about 40% on the battery and I was going to put the stock rom back on there with Odin so I could mail it to Samsung.
Go to the market to get food, come home and the battery is dead.
*the phone is making the plugged in unplugged sound over and over by the way
Now the strange bit, the phone was turned OFF when I left so that it would not continue to discharge yet upon return the phone was ON!
THought maybe i didn't press OK so i turned if off again, left the room and like 2 minutes later I hear it making the low battery sound.
Why when the phone is off?
So it is killing the battery, and now the phone is turning itself back on?
I cannot flash stock rom so entertaining suggestions
Donate it to the concrete? :silly:
Do you have USB bug? (Charging icon while its unplugged, it turns on without touching it)
yeah, your charger might be broken/usbport etc,
you didnt mess around with any special custom kernels?

So here's what happened. I had my HTC One M7 charging without realizing that I had the screen always on while charging option (from sense 6 toolbox on AR HD 91.1 ) turned on. About 2 hours or more had passed before I realized and I went to check on my phone. First of all, the battery had become EXTREMELY HOT to the point that I couldn't even hold my phone for more than a few seconds because it was so hot. Second, I noticed that the charge was still at ~20% charge, even after more than 2 hours. Because the phone was so hot, I turned it off and let it continue charging. After some more time, I went to check on my phone. I booted it up and it had cooled down quite a bit, but the battery was still not charging!! Currently it is at 12% with the charger plugged in. I think the heat might've melted the battery or some other component. My phone isn't charging at all I am very worried that it'll never charge again without a battery replacement. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or is my phone completely dead?
Since your phone boots, it isn't completely dead. You might have to send it in for repair.
