Hi guys my Xperia Z1 was charged to 100% after some use normally went down to 93% next second i pulled the phone out of the pocket it was turned off tried to turn it on got it to vibrate once but nothing showed up on display tried once again few minutzes later it booted up but just went off on bootloader. I came hame and put it on charger phone turned on showing like 50% battery drained it to zero started charging to 100 on 60-70% on charging suddenly went up to 100%
i used phone for 2 days with random reboots and after switching it on showing different percent of battery remaining, today it wont work without charger after i disconect charger phone shuts down. Could anyone tell me if this is problem with battery or its faulty motherboard maybe? thanks
ps. i need fast answer because im about to buy a battery
Tried to boot phone into safe mode and see how it reacts? Also do you use Stamina mode or any other service that changes or reads system properties?
whats the point of booting in safe mode if battery percent is going crazy even when phone is charging wile its shutdown

You have classic symptoms of a dying battery. Replace it and the problems will go away... If you did a search, you would find exactly the same symptoms described by others and the same solution. Your battery can't hold power due to a deterioration of cells.

Hi,
My battery life/indicator has been behaving very strangely since yesterday, so I'm wondering if the battery is dying. I know about battery calibration, and attempting it hasn't solved anything. I haven't flashed any firmware recently.
When I plug in the charger while on, it almost immediately tells me it's 100% charged, but the number displayed will still be something low, like 50ish. When I unplug it, the number stays. It drops extremely quickly, to around 1-2%, then 0% and turns itself off. After turning it on again, it may rise to 10%, but drop again to 0% shortly thereafter. After a couple of times of turning it back on, it will refuse to turn on. Charging only seems to work when phone is off, but even then the charge won't last much more than a couple of hours of idling - no calls, no web, nothing.
I've tried charging to full while phone is off (drained), and removing battery stats via cwm before booting up. Doesn't help.
Is my battery faulty? It's a very sudden problem, and my battery has been lasting me for days before this happened
So, I got a new battery. The problem persists. I've tried a factory reset/wiping battery stats, but it's still that way. Could this be a hardware problem somehow?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
Which fimware are you on? In your case I'd go back to a stock firmware from samfirmware.com and test once again. If the problem persits, you likely have a hardware issue and I'd have it swapped for a new phone whilst within warranty.

I'm using tweaky rom, JVS. I'm not too sure what the local firmware is (Singapore), the one I had before I switched to custom was 2.1, and I don't feel too safe flashing bootloaders when the phone is prone to turning off...

yeah, you are absolutely right. Have you tried betterbatterystats? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 ) It will show you wakelocks when your phone should be idling.
Did it help ?
Mate, out of curiosity I was wondering if your issue got resolved.
Also, you should check what is draining off your battery.
I tried reading elsewhere and found "Battery Monitor Widget" could be useful for you to identify this.
Nope, still same problem. It's not a wakelock issue, because the battery dies /so/ fast. I can literally charge it to 100%, unplug the charger, and in 30 seconds it says 0% and turns itself off. The phone itself isn't running hot or anything, and seems to be just idling. [Edit: To clarify, it also charges to 100% in about 10 minutes or so. I'm guessing that for some reason the phone thinks the battery is 'full' and stops charging, leading to the quick drop. I've no idea what could cause this though]
I'm hoping that maybe it's a software issue now since the new battery isn't working either (the battery is probably a fake since i got it for cheap, but even then it should last at least a few hours before draining), and that the phone is confused with battery voltage levels or something when I put the new one in.
Anyway, I flashed JVU stock, didn't even root, and will be charging the new battery overnight while phone is off. It says 100%, but gonna leave it on charger anyway. Hopefully if I wake up tomorrow it'll be working :/
If that doesn't work, will be flashing DXJV9 (My original firmware was dxj4), and hope that it's the official one here. Then bring it to a service center and act dumb and hope they can fix it i guess...
Service center replaced motherboard. There goes a hundred bucks :/
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
What happened is that, I Drained by battery to zero twice ....first i just charged it and turn it on still charge and works fine but then ....by the second time it didn't turn on (red light flashing)... so what I did is I charged it for about ten minutes then the screen turned on and holding the power button it boots up.....
The problem now is when charging the battery, it gets unstable, it just wont charge ... it will in some occasions very slow, 12 hours about 30% or something .... I formatted (factory format )the phone still nothing happens
what i know is that
1. its not the cable and the charger
2. its not the OS (Lollipop )
Probably its the battery or something
I really dont have the luxury to have this repaired so i was hoping if i can DIY it myself
does anyone know how to deal with this ??

Draining Li-Ion and Li-Poly batteries to zero will cause damage to the battery. I cannot understand why you, or other people do that. These are not Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries.
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.
