Hello!
I have an 4-year Xperia SP C5303, with Candy5 v4.0-20151015 (I know, didn't update - OTA isn't working and I'm lazy), and recently I found a very strange issue with it. Whenever the smartphone goes down to 40% battery or lower, there is a chance that it will not wake up, plus there are accidental all-system ANRs.
I think it's battery which lost it's capabilities over the years and does not supply the required voltage under load. What do you think? What would you do? Is there a point in investing into battery replacement, and can I replace it, maybe by disassembling the smartphone?
I think after all this long time using candy ROM, all you need is recalibrating your battery.

Hi guys,
Since a few days my phone powers off when de battery is around 15%. And when i charge the phone again it starts charging at 15%. I repaired the software but that didnt help. Any ideas how to fix this? I am not rooted and im not planning to do that with this phone.

Just charge the device to full capacity and don't restart it. This behaviour is normal.
Each restart or time spent in recovery, breaks remaining capacity estimation.
Full charge repairs it again.

Out of curiosity, is this a software problem, a hardware problem, or a Sony is really bad at making phones problem? My first Xperia TL by them bricked itself less than a week after purchase, and now I am having this same problem with my new device ever since the update to Jellybean. I have this device through AT&T, could it be their fault? My problems with my Galaxy Note were their fault so I wouldn't be surprised.
You may notice a pattern, if its a feature of every you phone you have its a feature of the phones.
This issue has been discussed repeatedly, its all to do with the way the phone calculates the charge and its not really an accurate picture of the power in your phone. Thats why some people ave noticed their percentage going up whilst not on charge.
I suggest you just use your phone as normal for a week, (I.e no flashing etc) and let it go through several full charge, this always settles the battery stats out.
Also, the new bateries we have prefer to be on charge, so whenever posoble leave it plugges in and NEVER let it discharge, the new batteries dont like that

Try calibrate the battery Go on Google Play and search for "Battery Calibration"
Mine was doing that too. You SHOULD read this post just in case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355862
How I calibrate my battery:
I made sure my phone is unable to be turned on again by making sure it has no battery left. Charge it without turning it on for 3 hours.

I bought my Xperia Z almost three weeks ago, and I am very happy with this device.
The device showed me that I had a few hours left on battery, but as soon as I turned on Stamina-mode it told me I even had a few days left! (But it never really gave me these few days.)
Now I have installed CM10.1 on my rooted Xperia Z, I lost Stamina. But for me it didn't really have impact on battery life.
Battery life on my rooted CM10.1 Xperia Z is still very good.
My question: Was Stamina really improving battery life, or was it just adding placebo?
yes it's improving battery life when in standby mode(screen is off / not using phone)
I personally think Greenify does a much better job. Without needing to turn off data.

It depends a lot on your usage patterns. If you use a lot of mobile data, it makes a huge difference. It literally turns off data when the screen is off. So it improves your battery life by that much. However, over WiFi it didn't really make much of a difference. Also, if you wake your phone up every few minutes to text, it seems to only hurt the battery as it keeps the phone awake for about a few minutes after the screen is off. So you're essentially reducing the idle time of your phone. So it's all up to how you use it.

Hi
I bought the Motorola Razr I yesterday, I been using it all day today.
But the battery is abnormally short. It drops very fast min 10% per hour to 27% per hour. I don't think this is normal for a new phone. The battery temperature is 38°c on normal use.
Am I using the phone wrong or did I get a faulty phone?.
I have nfc on all the time until 23% but after that I turned off nfc to see if that was the problem but it didn't seem to be.
I can get screen captures if needed.

you need some circles from full to down then you will se the real power.
but the battery with stock rom is not so great as with the custom rom from omar or max.
i dont think your battery is faulty give it some tryes!
and at least you csn not easy change the battery by yourself
regards

You might wanna figure out what is actually draining your battery. Search XDA for 'better battery stats' and install it. When your phone is not beeing used it should stay in deep sleep for most of the time, if not, check wakelocks to see whats keeping it from sleeping. For me it was mostly Google Now which caused the drain.
ok so the more i use the battery the better results i may get?
One of the reasons i bought this phone was because of the review on battery life e.g. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/motorola-razr-i-1098183/review/9
Now i have done a wipe of cache and data, did a factory reset. Charged from 10% to 100%. Getting the last few % is hard, this morning i woke up and it was still 99%. Went back after 1 hour to check it was 99% and dropped to 98% while the phone is off and charging.
Once its 100% again i will install the better battery stats as 696 suggested and post my results.
In my pretty long android experience this happens all the time with new phones, after updates.. You can do anything you want (cleaning cache, restart, etc), but it gets finally better by itself after a couple of days.
Don't ask me why, but it works like that.
Battery life of Razr i is excellent, best of all phones (incl iphones) I ever had!
Good luck and have some patience - so simple is that!
Recommended is to charge the new Phone full, before you turn it on the first time. A lil bit patience is needed, but that should help to avoid stuff like this.
And as the Guy above already posted, the battery will calibrate during daily use. It's the same, when you flash or update an Rom. You'll see the "real battery drain" first after a couple of Charges. And don't wipe battery stats in CWM, that's useless.

And also try disabling Google Now (search for that if you don't know how).
My phone never hits 100% on charve all day stuck at 98 or 99%

Did you manage to get to the bottom of the question?
I bought my Razr i 3 weeks ago, I had high expectations about the battery, but the battery only lasts about one day and half, is this normal? I am not a heavy user.
Cheers
Im having a moto g2 (2nd generation) mobile . since i bought it was good and dint had any problems . but for the past three days its taking about 4hours to charge 100% battery .charging is taking much time but draining down so fast . what might be the problem? what should i ve to do. please help me solving this issue.
Bro i think is the battery u should buy a new one, my son xperia z have the same problem i change the battery with the new one and now working good

How is battery backup?is battery backup same/reduced?
Try calibration once.But I think battery is Dead.Visit Customer Care and change the battery :thumbup:
So my Z3C has huge problems with battery past days, It gets really HOT at 38 to 40*c. It doesn't go down below 35*C! It drains of the battery real hard, talking about drain every 2mins it goes down 1%! just by leaving the screen on, when browsing or doing something it raises upto 37*C and it becomes a nightmare.
I'm using carbon ROM with kernel auditor to settle my battery to balance. Does anyone know how i can get rid of this battery issue? with kernel auditor or something?
(Sony devices have overheating problems) Also even when using stock kitkat or lollipop the battery is crap. My phone is new not old.
Than you have a faulty device since mine does get warm when playing games only but not hot.
Cant be faulty as stated, its a new device recently purchased, got carbon rom. Im not good at kernel auditor need help configurating it

I doubt any fault inside the phone, either its the software or have to config the kernel to bring back the battery. The phone has gone much faster i dont know what i did to make it faster but the batter life is hell!

In the battery stats, what is the top consuming apps? Maybe you have a mediaserver problem and your SD card needs a format. Just guesses

battery temp on 40C is normal for phones when you play games. My old phone was always 38C when i play games and the battery is still fine for 1 year
