Hi, so I have a year and a half old xperia z1 and am having some severe battery issues.
I use it to listen to music and read the news, there's about 75% left and suddenly it powers off as the battery has drained. This is after about an hour of use.
I've attached the battery screen to show the sudden death. Is the battery knackered? Anything I can do? Currently using resurrection remix but this has been happening on stock as well.
Thanks

I had the same problem, I applied unsuccessfully many possible solutions eventually replace the battery and the problem was solved.
Ok, thanks.
It wasn't even a gradual thing, just suddenly started happening.
Oh well
hi, i came here with the same problem. It says my battery is at 99%... at 75% it just plummets to 0 and powers off... When i connect the charger, it says 48% immediately! when it charges from 0%(rarely), in half an hour its at 100%. its out of sync.
I tried callibration and it doesnt work.. so changing the battery is the only option? After one and a half year and battery is dead? how about no sony?!?!

Exactly, that's how I happened one day with battery 100%, started taking video, the phone was turned off and the problems started with the battery, replace it was the only solution.

The same symptoms had my phone. The only solution was to change the battery. I tried to enforce the guarantee but as more than a year had not proceeded, the I replaced at a service center that was not sony.
That's pretty crappy for an 18 month old phone, really poor show

Hi
I have noticed when I soft reset my phone the battery drops anywere from 5% up to about 70%! It varies from rom to rom. If i plug it in and softreset it a couple of times the battery goes up to around what it use to be. If it makes a difference I flash roms alot and don't usually install to many applications.
Is this normal at all or is my battery faulty? It's only about 8 months old.
Any ideas? Tips I could try?
Thanks
Imran
you know, i have the same problem when installing, touch x legendary rom, battery is about 96,96% but when i install that rom, battery drops down to 8,7%, i just plug in power for second, and battery jumps to 98%, and then all working fine...
The way phones and other devices display their state of charge (%) isn't always accurate, hence why it jumps back up 5% after plugging it in. I don't think your battery is unreliable, it's just reporting the wrong percent of charge...
I see. Mine is more like 50% so I guess mine is just really wrong! any ideas for fixing this?
Also i have the typical xperia x1 problem were it thinks the headphones are plugged in for the last 4 days. I have plugging and unplugging the headphones in heaps but it doesn't seem to work
Thanks
I have the same problem.
Phone has one year and 8 months.
Wine phone or battery?
I just got exact problem this morning
I agree with comment above, I think it just battery indicator not accurately represented battery state.
I also noticed the problem happened when I get my phone idle for a while
I was just going to start a new thread about this kind of thing. My phone's original battery has run out at anywhere between 0 and 30%... it tends to go for a couple of days if I don't use the phone much. I've tried recalibration and it doesn't really help. I thought that was bad, but I just bought a backup battery and it's even worse... yesterday it went from 100 to 50% over half a day on standby, then I used it for about ten minutes and it just went off! At 50%!
I was only expecting rubbish life from the cheap battery but at least report the charge properly so I have a chance! Old phones could always do it... why can't one that cost hundreds of pounds when it was new?
I take it there's nothing you can really do?
I was using the phone for about 2.5h with wifi on browsing reading some news and got the battery to 38%. Then I have activated the power saving option and locked the screen and went to bed. Now I just woke up and see that my battery is at41% wow. Did it charged up or what has happened?
An inaccuracy of the battery meter? It defenitely did not charge itself. That's physically and chemically impossible.

It's weird how it constantly increased from 38-41 it was not just a sudden jump... I got sudden drops in battery after a usual reboot, and but never a slow increase....

Actually yes it does happen.. I really can't pinpoint the reason though.. After heavy usage the battery does drain for a while after the usage and then since no usage some power is restored.. Same like AA batteries.. Example: Use AA batteries on a device till the device switches off.. Then leave the device idle for a while and battery will be usable for sometime though the device had switched off earlier due to complete drain..
I'm not an electronics person. So i dunno how or what makes this happen :silly:
Guys. I had a very big problem here. My phone is just off the charger for about 10 min but the battery drops to 97% already. And I checked with the stamina mode which the battery only last for 18 hour and standby time only less then 2 days. Any idea about this? and any way to fix?
Thx.

How long have you owned the unit? I found mine needed a few charge cycles to become more stable.
One strange thing I have noticed is that whilst charging the notification light turns green at 90% for some reason, has anyone else noticed this?
Hi homer285. thanks for your reply. I had it for about a week only. So is it better I make some cycle charge for it to make it back to normal?
Thx.

that is normal for all Sony devices.
90% to 100% is green. below 90 is orange. and below 10 or something is red.

for the first part, the battery dropping so quickly, can you provide another screenshot for the battery and the apps working, to see which app consumed more battery. I usually charge my phone before going to sleep and after waking up ~9 hours later the battery drops from 100-96%.

For the second part, this is normal. the estimated battery gives indication depending on your usage (so yours will be different than mine). while standby is where your phone is not being used and thats why it is longer although it is quite little, my phone at 62% and says 3 days and 2 hours in standby mode.
if I didn't answer your question, please explain further but other screenshots would help as well, thx

I noticed this when charging mye phone the last time too. Maybe it is not quite calibrated yet? I did charge to 100% then totally drained it though, after charging it the first time out of the box.
Hi ahomad
Thx for ur reply. Attached is the photo of my battery usage for this morning.
I do understand what they mean but for the first few day usage my stamina standby time is up to 3-4days, just don't know what happen it dropped for used about a week.
And is it just the normal status or is it better to make some calibration for battery. If so, what is the best way to do that.
Thx.

you might have been playing games heavily (assuming the second app using most power is a game) thus the estimation was lowered as the phone assumed you will play more games in the coming days.
But from the picture you attached, you do have quite good battery as you were playing heavy game for 40 mins while having LTE on yet the battery dropped 9% which is really good
just ignore what the phone is telling as long as you don't see real world weakness of the battery performance. these estimates are never real just to give an indication
Hello,
I bought an Xiaomi MI3 64 GB last 18 August and i have received it yesterday 21 August, from Antelife store.
I have configured the phone, installed lots of applications from Android Store, but the phone was not very stable. One time he has rebooted with out any reason.
At night, when i was sleeping, he start to vibrate, but i thought it was the battery finishing. It was strange because i have noted the phone was very hot.
At morning i tried to start the phone but never appears any image and the phone still vibrates from time to time, without appearing any image on the screen.
I have tried to put it charging and the flash led appears red and blinking continuously.
What´s wrong with the phone?
Please help me.
I live in Portugal.
Best regards.
Solved.
It was just an battery charge problem. Still doesn´t understand how he drains 43% of battery in standby last night! It was that percentage that he has when i laid my bed to sleep.
Any suggestion?!

Try formatting the device..and it is maybe because u had many apps running in background..if u still feel there is a problem go to a nearby service centre

new mobile battery is company charged u need to full charge first(100%) then after full discharged(0%) do this 2 or 3 times your battery life is increased .
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
The problem is solved. It seems to be an charging problem or particularity. After the first discharge, it will take about an hour connected to power, to start charging the battery. Then will be needed about 3 hours to full 100% charge. I think that is an battery optimization method from Xiaomi.
not bad
I've tried to fix this on my own, to no avail. Whenever my phone gets down to 50% battery life or so, it shuts off. Then, when I charge, it says 0% and will charge up to 100%, then shut down at 50%. It'll shut off around 30% occasionally. I've tried different ROMs- currently on Rapture 3.1. I've tried various battery reset programs- nothing has helped. What now?

Sounds like you got a bad battery. Is it swollen at all? You may just need a new one

Not swollen at all. Ill try that next, though.
Adding screenshot from betterbatterystats. This time I went from 61% to 14%. I got a few minutes in between 14% and 10%, and then dropped to 0%.

Definitely a bad battery. I use Anker batteries and they works great. You can buy Anker battery set for around $20 on amazon.
I purchased a new battery (Samsung oem)- received it today, and put it in. Charged it to full, used it a bit, and at around 50%, my phone shut off. Any other ideas?

Though it's highly unlikely, but did you make sure that you didn't put old battery in your phone instead of new one ?
Battery Cal seems to have solved it, and is also obvious when I think about it.
