Randomly shuts down claiming battery at 0% - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

About a month ago while hiking I had my Mexus 6 in a zip lock hoping to keep it safe from water (I now realize how stupid that was). With ziplock in my backpack I waded through chest deep water. Later on I opened my bag and to my dismay there was water inside the zip lock. The phone was operational.
I took it home and tested it. Worked fine for the most part. However when I shut it down it would not bit back up for a day or so. And after charging it for 24+ hours it would randomly boot. Basically I couldn't let it run out of battery or it would be unresponsive for a day or two.
Somehow over time this issue was not valid anymore. My phone could now reboot normally.
A couple of days ago I noticed the phone going into shutdown claiming 0% battery even when battery was 40%. It kept galloping numerous times. Open the camera, phone shuts down showing it's out of battery. The battery saver also makes to kick in as it makes its come and the top and bottom bars turn red/orange.
This has happened more than 20 times now. I did not get the battery shutdown when phone has 80%+ battery. But it started as I dropped below that. At 48% it got so bad that after a shutdown, if I restarted phone, it would, then immediately shut down. When battery was 60%+ it would at least start back up and let me use it for a bit.
Now I know I messed up with the zip lock thing but it's there any thing I can do now? Should I try to change the battery? I have changed battery on iPhones before by myself.
Can I somehow calibrate the battery using software?
Attached are screenshots of my battery stats.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

Sorry to hear this is happening, mine started doing the same thing after three months of use. I tried everything, including a trick someone posted of letting it die and charging it only using the quick charger. I use a QI charger and it was completely unacceptable to think that feature couldn't be used. So I contacted Motorola and they just did a warranty on mine and sent me a new one. I had it the next day.

What info did you have to give for warranty. I don't have original sales receipt. Thanks. I will try the same.

Overheating issues?

I just (10 min ago) went to check the time on my phone, and when I grabbed it, it was extremely hot. When I turned it over (I put it face down at night so the notification led doesn't bug me) it was showing the battery charging screen except it was a question mark. The phone was plugged in since 10 pm (its 5 am now) and when it had cooled down enough I turned it back on and it said I only had 50%, even though it had been charging all night. Has anyone else had similar overheating issues, and should I return it for a new phone?

Tried a hard reset? If ao, return the phone is what I would do. No way its supposed to drain that quick or heat up. Charging, navigating and playing music over BT and my phone is warm, not hot.
Had a similar issue about 3 weeks ago. Wasn't plugged in charging though. It was just sitting in my pocket. I thought it felt warm against my leg so I pulled it out and the phone was super hot! Turned the phone off immediately, let it cool down, and it hasn't done it since.

The other day I was charging (stock moto AC charger) my battery (40%) and downloading stuff via 4g and mine got to 46 degrees C. I slid open the keyboard and put it in a opening of a vent that was blowing 60 degree F air. 1 hr latter battery was 80% +/- and i dl'd more stuff.

You said there was a battery with a question mark. Was your phone booted up at this point, or were you in the 'battery charging mode'?
Sounds like the phone overheated, which can sometimes happen. You could try to get a replacement, but unless it happens consistently they might give you trouble trying to return it.
The annoying thing is, they say our batteries aren't supposed to be removed. It was nice being able to swap in a spare when my wife was done with her A855 moto Droid and same with having a "spare" incredible...
Anyone know the reason they made ours not come out?

It is my understanding that they used a special type of battery to get it so thin. The downside to this special type of battery is that they are easily bendable, but explode when bent
As a result, they don't want anybody touching the battery and exploding themselves.
Somebody who is more knowledgeable in battery tech could probably give a better explanation.
Couple weeks ago I was using the GPS and had the phone on the Motorola cardock while plugged in (with a Verizon charger) to the car. Took the phone off to make a call and I literally couldn't touch it. I kept it on the side and opened the battery doctor app, told me the battery was 58C. Immediately pulled aside and turned off my phone. Stupid phone has the locked battery door also so I couldn't pull it off to let the battery cool faster. Worst battery door design by Motorola.

No Charge Out of Box

Anyone else open theirs only to find the battery fully discharged? So yuck..
I thought that allowing the battery to go completely dead was a bad thing. I checked under usage and it said it had gone 13+ days on the last charge.
Hope it didn't do too much damage to the battery
Mine was half way dead

So was mine but I was expecting that. It actually charges pretty quick.
sounds like everyones had a different charge. mine was 40%
Mine was completely dead as well.
But, it did say 'Welcome tjhart85 [well, it had my real name]' and ask me for my password to sign into my account ... I thought that was a pretty neat touch. Of course, that probably means they just threw it in the box and left it on to drain.
Mine was 67% when I got it today. I then Drained it to 40% playing ocarina of time then charged it for maybe an hour and it was back to 100%
just got mine, battery was at 58%. Also the box was double sealed. ie tape over the tape. It knew my gmail account. So probably was opened, my account info added and taped shut. Would have preferred to have received it 2 weeks earlier and set up my own account.
Mine came with about 50 percent charge.

Every device I've purchased that had a dead battery out of the box has died very shortly after buying it. I would get a replacement.

Mine came out of the box with about a 45% charge.
Same. About 50% charge here. Charging it for a couple of hours before I play with it.
Mine was dead too. Thought it was DOA, but now I'm getting a battery icon. Going to leave it charging and watch very closely over the next few days.
Mine came out of the box with "show low battery logo" on a completely black screen. No logo...no nothing. Completely blank. Plugged it in, the battery charging logo popped up, fully charged it overnight and it's been working great since (purchased from Office Depot 7/14).
This concerns me. Received mine today, but I won't be home until Friday. wonder if I should have my wife open it up and start charging it.

For those with the dead battery... I would be glad! That probably means your device was the one used as a quality control check for that batch of devices. It would make me happy to get one of those. Those devices should have ZERO problems out of box. It's just a hypothesis, and I could be wrong BUT, it seems fact that some have been opened and checked, and those are the ones that have dead batteries. Mine was delivered this morning but I'm off on a training mission, so I wont get to inspect it until Friday morning. Hopefully mine was opened and they checked for a good screen and all that good stuff. For those with the dead battery, how many have dead battery and dead pixels, mushy left side, back light problems, etc?
Finding this out will determine whether they are actually (somewhat) effectively QC'ing these tablets.
Mine came out of the box with a 6% charge.
I can't say that I'm particularly concerned about it.

Anyone have a defective battery issue?

So my One has been charging slow, I know, they made a safety feature where is it will charge slowly to protect the battery from losing its recharge capacity.
BUT this is very slow, I mean overnight charging and still 70%!
I called tech support and the dude said going under 15% battery and charging is really bad for the phone, something about this phone has a Li-On battery vs some other battery tech for the older HTC phones.
I work in security and it is very slow work and I'm constantly on the phone and get to 15% quite fast in my 8 hour shift.
I took it to sprint for a radio issue and the dude said sprint will not replace the phone since over 14 days and said HTC will charge me $50! to give me a new phone! The HTC tech didn't tell me any of that because he told me it could take 2 weeks to get the phone back from repair, so I declined it.
So long story short, it takes over 6 HOURS to charge my phone, when plugged in and in use battery will not recharge either!

^^^^ Nail in the coffin right there... Now to call HTC and get a new phone or new battery put in. Really disappointed with the quality control from them.
Both of my one's charge well.
Fwiw:
Assumimg you don't have insurance your true options would be
Pay a Sprint corp repair store $50 and they will test and replace if necessary. 3-5 days
Call and deal with HTC ..??? Who knows timeframe
Sounds like the was a miscommunication somewhere
Tell more though? Stock rooted..many things can contribute to battery and charging issues.
What is the "radio issue"

I am completely stock. I don't root my phones until I feel they are slowing down.
The radio issue was the "sim card locked" please power cycle error with multiple dropped calls.
Sprint guy fixed that by "tweaking" the radio signal.

I don't think anyone took the time to read your question.
The phone will charge quickly if it is idle and isn't in use.
The phone will charge STUPID SLOW if it is in use. Typically 10 hrs + to recharge up to 100% if you are a) talking on the phone b) using an app (games) that will truly utilize the hardware of the phone. As far as I can tell, this IS a built-in security feature to preserve the life of the battery.
Example: My past phone batteries would get VERY hot when I am talking on the phone and charging it, but it charges quickly. But long-term effect is that the battery dies within a few months.
The HTC One's battery doesn't get hot while it is charging.
Hope that answers your question.

No, even when I am charging overnight AKA sleeping that phone will not get to 100% after I take it off the charger in the morning. Max it gets to is 70%
I'll call HTC again and demand they fix this battery for free or I'll provide them with bad publicity through the internet

If that is not a defective battery then what is? If this was my evo 3d I would just buy a new battery not make a big deal but since this "One Piece" BS has trapped the battery inside, I am unable to fully use a brand new phone just months into its ownership!!!

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.

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

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?

Abnormal battery usage

So today while visiting a friend and doing a couple things on my phone the battery showed 81%. Suddenly it cut off and would not cut back on. I put it on the charger for about 20 mins and it came back on and showed 16%.
When I took it off the charger it was at 100% and I didn't use it at all between her house and mine. It's also eating battery super fast now. I'm not rooted or anything but this has me concerned. I signed up for the 1 to 1 trade but I'm worried about waiting now. Anyone else experiencing weird battery issues?
I'd be a bit concerned about that. If the battery really was at 81%, and the hardware decided the battery was dead, it really makes new wonder if this wouldn't allow it to become over charged and go "pop"..

Last night mine went from 21% to 15% instantaneously while watching YouTube. Not worried, however, it's going back when the replacements arrive.
So now I get a Samsung+ warning that my device is draining battery faster than its charging. I was using my official wireless fast charger. After noticing that the phone only got up to 30% after a hour I switched it to the wall charger that came with it. charging is still going slow. I even did a factory reset.

I'd do another factory reset and let the phone sit for a while before setting it up. Then I'd make do and exchange it ASAP! Keep a careful eye on charging temperature in the meanwhile. I'm thinking of charging mine on a baking sheet so it can't ignite anything, lol! Since you are having such unusual problems, can't be too cautious!

This happened to me exactly the same way. I had over 70% left and then all of a sudden it wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in and phone showed it was at 0%.
I've done a full reset and hasn't happened since.

So same thing today. Phone has been warm all day. Battery got down to 60% and died. I probably had about 45mins screen time
Same thing happened to me 2 days ago. I was at 60% and put it down to do some yard work and an hr later when I came back to check on it it was completely dead!
I was like wtf!!
Hope they fix this ****!!

Today my battery has lost it mind. Has died on me after roughly 4 hrs from fully charged, and not being used but for half a dozen messages. I did notice some extreme usage my Android and Google which I haven't seen these numbers this high in a long time

Mine was at 30% and turned off. I've also noticed sometimes my battery says 100% but will still have the red led charging light on,rather then green when it's fully charged. I wonder if it has something to do with the battery stats.

Might be a good idea to clear the cache as well. I do it every three days and it works wonders for me.

A week ago, I posted over in the Sprint forum about this happening with my note 7, though, as you can see, nobody cared, lol. Now that all this battery fire stuff has come out, I'm looking at my phone with a bit of suspicion.

Edit: Haha, I was looking at the screen shot from my thread and saw 4% battery. I thought my phone's battery hand tanked again and was about to drop it before it burst into flames!

Is your phone running hot? Mine is always warm and I'm getting very high cpu usage from Android system and Android IS. It didn't die outta no where today, but my battery life is horrible. Today I got 57 mins of Screen time by the time it 15% in about 7hrs and that was with battery saver on all day.

No, it actually runs very cool. I also am getting good battery life (about 5 hours sot). Actually, everything went back to normal after the bizarre battery behavior that I had one night a week ago.

Weird. Mine did it twice, battery life has been horrible and my wireless fast charger wont charge it. Says it's draining faster that it's charging. I've factory reset 3x already. Can't wait until my replacement Note comes in.

Guys,
This is not a single issue, I also had been running into the same battery dying out of nowhere. Check the thread I started

Damn,
I'm thinking forget this mess and switching over to the Iphone 7 Plus. I'm getting pretty tired of figuring out battery issues, debloating etc. I just want my damn phone to work.

Haha, I'm thinking of going iPhone, too, but I'm a little scared to wait the week, and I don't have a phone to use in the meantime.

Who's to say some problem won't crop up with the new iPhone? Maybe you shouldn't rush in. I wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for the high price and my plan to use the promotions to mitigate that. I always wait a couple of months to buy but by then the promotions would have expired. Anyways, it's done, now trying to stay positive and remember I have a Tab and SD card for my trouble.
