My phone turns off at 5% - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone turns off at 5% every time!! The phone is working great. It doesn't turn off randomly but everyday at 5% it turns off and tells me to plug in the charger. After plugging in the charger the phone keeps on showing the battery logo and it turns on after pressing power button a couple of times while the charger is plugged in. What could be the problem? Or is it normal? I remember when i was on stock, the phone used to turn off at 2%. Im using Chroma Rom.

Seems normal to me. The battery condition becomes slowly worse.
When possible don't discharge below 20-30%.

haven't seen one of these in a while. people used to talk about battery calibration, but i'm not sure if it is a real thing.
check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/dying-17-battery-t3062050

The battery on this phone is being let to go very low in the normal 100 - 0 range as it is. As it ages the low end will drop quicker and quicker. The qhd oled they used on this phone is really not nice for the battery. You can buy a new one on aliexpress.

Fixed!

Battery Problem

My phone suddenly just shuts down when I'm using it... not a "powering off" but just out of nowhere turns off
Anyone know what the problem might be?
I've had this same issue before, so I bought a new battery last month and it worked great until just last week...
I've tried resetting the battery stats....nothing....
The battery still fully charges and shows the correct percentage when I plug in the charger to use...
Could it be the ROM or battery issue?
....I'm currently using cannon's rom... 2.2.1
Anyone know how to fix?..... thanks

Something to take note, What are you doing when it does this?
-Surfing net on the phone
-Listening to music
-Charging
-Tethering
Keeping in mind that the phone will shut its self down (it should) if your battery starts to over heat. On my Hero the charge light flashes before it shuts down and it gets really hot to the touch. Also at higher heat temps, overall battery life suffers.
my phones shuts down usually when wifi is on and im sirfing or using youtube app or google maps(every time i use wifi for a while this happens...)
it also shuts down rarely on calls and sometimes when im trying to flash a new rom...
it doesnt powers on until i connect it on AC...
I REALLY NEED HELP...
ps:if i change the battery will my problem been solved?

it turns off randomly...even when im just browsing through the home screens... a full charge will last me like 5 minutes max.... no matter what im doing an the battery doesnt overheat at all...
and when i plug it in to the charger, it shows the correct percentage.. well at least an estimate of what it could be (for about 5 min of use before shut down= 95%)
I have the same problem, It is extremely frustrating.
The shutdowns would happen randomly during surfing the net or using google maps. It would shut down out of no where and it would be impossible to turn back without being plugged into a charger since the phone thinks it battery is at 0 even it was just charged to full before the shutdown. I tried to calibrate the battery but it would just shut down while I'm trying to burn through the charge with the screen on. This is the such a nuisance, can't even get through one day.
I am using biffmod 1.8 so I don't know if this is a rom related problem.
I'm havuing the exact same problem. Even with a full battery, the pgone will shut down when I do anything more than a text or two here and there. When I put it on the charger I will still have a significant amount of power left. I've tried doing full wipes and changing roms. I think it might actually be related to the radio. This began after I updated the radio. It would get stck on formatting the cache. I tried going back to the old radio, but the problem has persisted.. and it also got stuck on formatting cache...
I hope someone can help with this bc it pretty much renders the phone useless when it's not being charged. =\
try change the battery...this solve my prob
you could try recalibrating the battery.
let your phone die.
plug it in for so long that you are 100% sure that it is full.
boot to recovery wipe battery stats.
boot normal
use it and let it die.
recharge again until its full BEFORE booting it.
if you sure its full boot normal.
if you follow this cycle some times it should be fine.
Only issue: you have to wait long until its full and you always have to be near an ac
i've tried re-callibration.. guess i will have to get another battery..
i don't think it's the battery though bc others with the same problem said that the problem persisted after getting a new battery.. =\ we'll see.. thanks for the replies.

I have the exact same problem, am about to buy a new battery tomorrow unless someone else has another solution? This might not be the proper forum but in here at least many i9001 users will read it.
I've had this problem for about a week, was very annoying while on holiday. I've tried using BroodROM BE 1.0, Stock KQE and now back to stock KPG.

Well yes I'm going to try a different battery soon but the odd thing is after my battery charge seems to drop down to 5% or so, it starts charging to about its original charge level without a charger connected. So it's basically 80%->drop to 5%->charge back to 60% without charger.
i'll try now to do a hard reset, go back to stock rom, then reinstall an costum rom,
will tell you if it works!
Plz mods remove/delete this sheeyat.. this is

I thought I was the only one with this problem. I charge my battery to full and it starts draining normally. Then, when around 30-80% battery remaining, it turns off. It only turns off when you use it for a while, when the screen is off it stays on normally. After rebooting it turns off within a minute or so. This continues for a few reboots with the battery level remaining roughly the same. Eventually after a few boots it shows 3-4% of battery, after which I of course have to charge. Also tried calibrating and tried different roms but it still remains. I ALSO SWAPPED MY BATTERY WITH A FRIEND BUT IT DIDN'T HELP! It worked like a charm for him but I still got turn offs with his battery.
If i were you Guys, i would install stock rom and hand in my phone under warranty ( of course if you still have it ). Because if this occurs even when u swap battery, let samsung play with you phone then
Its not your battery..restore your phone to the way it was and give it to samsung
i'm getting pissed of now, even with the stock rom it randomly shutsdown.
i don't have any warrenty so i can't give it back to samsung
In case anyone's still wondering, in my case it did turn out to be a fried battery. If anyone else is experiencing the same issues I was, just check your battery to see whether or not it is swollen. If it's bigger than it should be, that probably means it's fried and you should replace it. I'm happily running custom roms without any trouble again now, and battery life is awesome!

Sorry Rajito, but you are having a serious problem, i think the motherboard is the problem, my friend had the same problem with his I9000 S simple. You shoud go to a service !
Hi guys,
I also have this problem, my phone randomly turns off and when I turn it on, it shows much less remaining battery percentage than before. (please see attached image) After turning on the value is increasing, sometimes from ~5% to 30-40% or more...
Now I have CM10 Jelly Bean flashed, but CM9 did the same sometimes but much more rarely than on JB. Today the phone 'died' three times until noon.

Yeah that's the exact same problem I had. In my case it turned out to be a fried battery, see if it's swollen or not, if you lay your battery on a table it should stay still and not wobble around. If the battery's not flat but swollen that means your battery is fried. In this case good news because you can easily replace it

unfortunately it is absolutely not swollen, its fully flat :\
besides this I put out the battery now and put it back and it is showing only 2% percent of battery so maybe my battery is wrong
UPDATE: after uninstalling the pro version of Battery Indicator there were no random shutdowns at all, but the free version is fine o.0

HTC ONE serious battery draining problem

Hello, i have my htc one a couple of weeks now and from the first time i noticed paranormal battery drain activity!
So first i tried to turn everything off it didn't help, more analyticaly:
Energy Saving Mode = On
Beats Audio = on
Brightness = 1st of the three brightness modes
Wifi = off
GPS = off
Location Services = off
Accounts Sync = all off
HSDPA = on and off after done using data
Apps running in the background = i closed each and every one immediately after done using them
Blinkfeed = completely off
Then I tried to reset battery memory by completely let the battery discharge and recharge overnight twice, i have seen no improvement.
When i surf or facebook i can see the battery meter to drop down 1% almost every 2 minutes or so, some times less with the above mentioned settings.
Also i have noticed that in standby with everything off there's still significant battery drainage.
I kept the best for last, just 10 minutes ago while connected on my computer via usb cable, fully charged at 100% with green led on top for more than an hour i just did a reboot, and after the reboot with the usb cable still connected i saw the battery 99% ?????? After what, a reboot and still connected to the usb and charging ? WTF?
Device info:
HTC one 32 gb bought from Vodafone Greece
android version 4.2.2 stock
software version 2.24.401.1
kernel version 3.4.10-g445d072
On top of that, it seems that my device also has the blue ghosting noise camera bug on low light enviroments.
My emotions are like; I love and hate this phone at the same time.
I'm afraid using my phone's capabilities due to serious battery drainage!!
Any thoughts ?

Try this app to see if you have an app installed that is draining your battery.

it depends on how you use your phone and how much time it has been turned on. If your phone has been on for more than 24 hours then 3 hours of screen is fine. But yeah maybe you should do a factory reset and install gsam to monitor your battery stats and the apps that are sucking your battery. I have noticed that facebook chat drains the battery too fast.

I think you live in a sunny place, if you do than 2.5 hours is sort of normal at full brightness, if you want 5 or longer you need to set the brightness way lower but I think that sort of dimishes the beauty of the screen, enjoy it on auto-brightness

What nonsense?!
70% of my screen time is medium. I rarely use my phone in the sun.
I usually get around 2.5 screen/<14 total hrs. That's not normal? My phone's not set up right? Yay!
Or maybe it's the facebook. My auto sync is off, but I will disable the FB apps and see how that goes.
I actually do have GSAM, and it tells me that my kernel uses ~25% of my power. Android system is usually ~15%. Is that normal? If so, I may try a backup/reset.
Screen uses ~10% of power and main app is Chrome, with little to no Maps/Voice in a day.
A quick report after factory reset seems like that my battery is somewhat normal
1day 7hours and I still have 34% remaining
Use: half standby half normal use
I have the Dev Edition 64Gb One and I'm getting just 12 hours! I have autobrightness on, Greenify taking care of all the apps I don't use so frequently, not using maps/location services. I noticed each time I enter recovery, I have like 4% less than what my phone says and if I turn it on I have now what the bootloader said! Weird, and I was shocked to see this when I red a lot of people were having fantastic battery life.
Also, as I'm so lucky, mine has the blue/red thing in the camera, and a small gap in the top. It seems I got the All-(Problems)-In-One One..

Try with InsertCoin + Elemental kernel, with no pocketdetection or sweep2wake etc. and the recommended undervolting in the aroma installation
That gives me like 5.5 hours of screen with the phone turned on for 20+ hours and wifi: 6+hours, all of this with an average usage
hello again I noticed a rather peculiar thing regarding battery drainage.
couple of days ago when I reported that my battery was somewhat normal I had my phone charged with energy saving mode off I charged this way two times since the factory reset. Everything was normal I was able to get one+ day of use. Yesterday though I charged my phone with energy saving mode ON and I immediately noticed abnormal battery drain as before.
Can anyone with battery drain problem try to fully charge their phone with energy saving mode off and post their results?
I have a strong feeling that there is a bug or something.
My problem is, the phone is fully charged. i disconnect the charger and a few seconds later the battery is between 96% and 93%. I connect it to the charger, charge it back to 100% (led green) disconnect it, and the same happens again.
I already let the Phone discharge to 1%. The same happening again.
Someone any idea? thx
Same problem here, just sent it in to HTC for camera repair, got it back. Then battery problems. Sent it back because of the battery, still crappy. 32GB Unlocked. I get 10 hours at most on idle, everything off.

Go to setting>mobile data>network mode select something else than LTE and reboot your phone. Then select back Lte and reboot your phone.I had the same problem. I found this on other forums and this helped me a lot.
I have a HTC One 32 gb Three UK.
I have exactly the same problem with the high drainage.. before I could get easy 5-6 hours screen on throughout the day. now it even don't lasts a half day.. no change in my apps or settings/kernel.. really weird problem. I think it has to do with the hotness of the Phone and the purple camera fault. Don't know what to do anymore!

[Q] Wierd battery issue; phone dies at 50% battery.

imgur dot com / IQenrCb
As you can see, at 50%-ish battery, the phone dies.
It started as I was running stock ROM, and when my battery reached around 50% the screen starts to flicker, especially during updates
(like if I were to scroll a web page), then phone battery would say 100%, I'd get the message "battery fully charged, unplug charger", some more flicker and then instant death.
I tried latest cyanogenmod, nightly, same issue. I noticed an app using abnormal battery, but uninstalling that app did not help. Still the same issue, though I did not get the "unplug charger" message.
I'm currently running latest stable cyanogenmod. I don't see any apps draining my battery.
Is it time to replace my battery? Do you guys have any tips?
Thanks for any help.
Did the OP get the problem resolved?
Was it a battery problem or a hardware issue?

It might be time to switch batteries. I've had a similar issue, but the phone died around 20% maybe. I haven't used that batter for more than a year - how much have you used yours?

Samsung Amoled + screen flickering = damaged/old battery. Screen flickering is almost every time caused by the lack of power, and usually that is caused by a OLD battery. Time to invest

Been using the phone daily since I got it, reaching a year soon.
I was really hoping I didn't have to get a new battery, but I'll try, and keep my fingers crossed.

Luckily they aren't too expensive. My battery is of similar age actually. I'd recommend getting a zerolemon battery if you dont mind the bulk.
sometimes it happens on s3 too, but i think this is about charging.

[Q] [help needed] erratic battery levels on mi3w

I am facing a battery problem. whenever i reboot or boot into recovery, the battery level randomly falls down about 10 to 20 percent.. also, if i connect the charger after a discharge, the battery starts charging from 0 but when i boot the phone, sometimes it just charges up straight to 15 percent or 20 percent.. if i disconnect the charger and start using the phone, the battery starts discharging normally and continues till zero again (sometimes it jumps straight from 3 percent to zero).. dont understand whats going on..
actually this problem started after i flashed ivan's first build of the lollipop rom (using true dual boot).. at that time i thought its a bug.. but after that it started when i had only miui too..
please help..

Actually, let me tell you what happened yesterday.. I was using the phone, so the battery came down to 0 and the phone switched off.. I connected the charger, so the phone went started charging from 0 percent.. Fair enough.. But when i switched the phone on.. (Booted into android) the battery level went straight to 12 percent.. So, i disconnected the charger and was able to use the phone for some 15 minutes. After that, the battery fell down to 0 from 5 percent.. Then, i allowed the phone to charge for some time.. It reached the level of 64 percent. And then i deleted the batterystats.bin and rebooted.. The battery level went to 86 percent straight..
So what i suspect is.. I dont have a battery problem since if i loose charge after a reboot, i get that back during charging..
And i dont know why but this problem occurs more often when i boot into the recovery.. Any guesses why recovery is causing this ?

Actually, let me tell you what happened yesterday.. I was using the phone, so the battery came down to 0 and the phone switched off.. I connected the charger, so the phone went started charging from 0 percent.. Fair enough.. But when i switched the phone on.. (Booted into android) the battery level went straight to 12 percent.. So, i disconnected the charger and was able to use the phone for some 15 minutes. After that, the battery fell down to 0 from 5 percent.. Then, i allowed the phone to charge for some time.. It reached the level of 64 percent. And then i deleted the batterystats.bin and rebooted.. The battery level went to 86 percent straight..

The same thing is happening to me too right now in cm13. So i reverted back to miui where the battery jump doesn't happen but while using normally battery discharge is erratic like it goes from 32 to 20 in a minute. This happens a lot more when charge is below 20 percent. while using normally when the battery is at 100, it goes to 80 after 1 hr of usage but 20-0 takes 10 minutes in cm13.
i have tried calibrating the battery many times to no improvement whatsoever.
As you said when the battery discharges completely the phone turns off. Now when i plug into the charger and boot it to cm13 the battery indicator shows 19 or 23 or some random number
Did you find any fix for this erratic behavior ?
- If you're using custom kernel, stop using it and revert to stock.
- Either dirty flash (to revert the kernel)+use/wait until the battery's ran out+charge it while turned off, OR clean flash without using custom kernel

I'm not on any custom kernel and I tried charging the phone without booting to Android. Still no change :crying:

Have you tried a clean flash?

Yes 2 days ago I wiped everything including internal storage and installed cm13
So you don't have this issue ? Which ROM are you on right now?
Somehow it feels like twrp is causing this cause whenever I boot to recovery there is a battery drop by 2-3 percent or suddenly the battery shows 60 or something like that instead of 30 or whatever the correct value is

I'm on AOKP currently, swtching from CM13 since I wanted to try it. I got the same problem seldomly, but that's because of custom kernel keep on borking the battery calibration.
If I were you, I'd started searching for a new battery, just in case it was dying out. If my memories serves me right, before I need to replaced my battery because of short bootloops, my battery's level also started to jump haphazardly without any reason.

actually this problem started after i flashed ivan's first build of the lollipop rom (using true dual boot).. at that time i thought its a bug.. but after that it started when i had only miui too..
please help..

maybe now it's the time to change the battery
btw I don't have those problems but I have huge drain while the phone is idle.

Maybe my battery has become faulty but I still feel this is a software problem because since I moved from twrp 3.0.2-0 and cm13 to twrp 2.8.7.0 and aokp the battery jumps have become less frequent but they are still there.
If it was a software problem I think most people wouldn't notice as they won't use their phones till the battery discharges completely all the time.

bad news my friend, my mi3 started doing the same, a week later I was taking some pictures and then suddenly it started to bootloop or only boot to fastboot mode. The only solution was to replace the battery. I hope is not the same with your phone. Good Luck
Hmm.. But this thing started with me in just 6 months after buying the phone.. Also, the screen on time i get is more or less the same as others.. So i dont think so that my battery is bad.. I have tried calibrating it many times but no luck.. And for some reason, my battery always jumps from 13 percent to 10 percent directly :laugh:
having the same problem since i flashed MM roms. If the battery only left 10% , it will drained in minutes
Same problem with me.
I was having similar problems! Until later on I came to the conclusion that my phone was not getting charged correctly! I was and am using OEM charger! So charger problem was out of the question!
Then I thought that it might be the battery problem, since the phone is now 2 years old! I disassembled my phone out of curiosity to check the status of the battery, has it swelled or leaked! Turns out that the charging port was dead! The litmus dot over the the charging port had turned to pink, symbolizing that some water or moisture had entered in somehow! I went to the nearest Xiaomi Service Station and ordered for the part!
You too can check if this might have happened to your phone too!
