My phone has been on for about 5 hours and it is dead. Power usage says it has been running for 16 hours. There are no apps running, the screen brightness is turned down, and I have turned off many of the sync stuff.
I turn it off every night and put on charge. It says it's fully charged in the morning. Battery life was good until just recently, maybe last week or so. Is there any way to reset the battery?
There is, but you need root access. You can either use recovery to clear the battery cache or there are a few programs that will reset it for you.

buy a warrenty and then throw your phone out the window
My note is only 4-5 months old.
But what happened 3 days back was I only charged my phone to 50% in the evening and took It off, then I must have used it for 2-3 hours in night and then went to sleep.
Next morning it was 25%, I used it till 5 and then tried to charge but it won't recognize the charger.
And keep switching driving mode and s voice on and off.
Then when I restarted it, it shows 40% battery from 5% without me charging it at all.
From then on the charging problem was solved but
It goes 100-60 in 2 hrs (idle)
And rest 60% lasts a bit longer ?
Thanks for ur replies and interest.
You should calibrate or change your battery.It may had been condem.

Does sound like dud battery. If it's under 6 months, samsung will replace it under warranty.

Exactly the same her, but mine is over 2 years old. It also some times shutting down because the phone '' thinks'' that there is no power despite the batttery is over 90%...
Hello,
I have an unlocked HTC One and I think I have some problems with the battery. For example, in the morning when I unplug it from charging and it's 100%, if I use it for like 5 minutes then the battery will drop by 6-7% and I don't think that's normal.
Then I was not at home today and I had like 19% and I decided to power it off. Then I turned it on after like 10 minutes, I had 7% left. I left it on for 10-15 minutes without using and it dropped to 2%. I turned it off again and then I turned it back on after like 5 minutes and it had 6%.
What is going on? Should I do a clean install of the software? I'm using ViperOne 6.2.1.
Thank you!

might be some app that is draining your battery, to confirm with gsam battery monitor. Maybe a rom/kernel issue or a bad battery....
Alright so I've done what the guy advised here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765655
Apparently it fixed some of the problems but I still fail to understand this thing: so last night I had 73% battery left. I turned off the phone and then turned it back on after 5 minutes, I had 68% battery left. Why is this?
Also, sometimes the battery level shown while the phone is on does not coincide with the battery level shown in Recovery TWRP. Why is that and what can be done about it?
Thank you!
There is no way to know precisely what proportion of total charge is in a battery, it can only be estimated. Temperature, current drain, and many other factors affect the estimate. I think you're expecting too much.
My battery is dropping from 12% to 0% in a few seconds and phone shuts down.
See attached screenshots from battery graph and better battery stats.
During normal use until 13% discharge is normal.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I would like to see some feedback about this, as well. I'm experiencing the same thing.

I have google around but no real solution.
I have tried calibrating battry, let's see what happens
Battery calibration is something you should do!
If it doesn't work try different FTF Files for your device or even use PC Companion to repair your device...
If you could try custom roms it would be better because if the problem still remains it means there is a hardware problem(Probably battery replacement will be needed).
comeon, no one with a real good idea about source of the problem and its solution?

use your phone untill it turns off - boot into recovey with power then volume up
charge your battery while on recovery twrp from 0 to 100 ( leave it just to charge it may take up to 5 hours )
test again if worked fine on discharge from 12 to 0 so u have a kernel problem
you may change the kernel or try another rom

Ok, I have tried all possible methods
- using an app called BatteryCalibration
- using the charging mode suggested above
- deleting manually the battery stats file
Phone still goes from 12% to 0% in seconds and shuts down.
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A KERNEL PROBLEM because I have the original .157 sony ROM, just rooted with a few crapware disabled
I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A BATTERY PROBLEM because I have tried the following: when phone goes from 12% to 0% and shuts off, I plug it in, wait that it charges for say 10 minutes, turn it on, battery is at 4%, unplug it, phone runs for at least 40 minutes (it should shut down).
So it really seems to be a bad reading...
Hmm, i have same problem with battery , when battery is 32-35%, screen off dropping to 22-25% in some minute, but wheni test with screen on 32-35%, don't have problem
It difficult question to answer

It is not the same problem.
My problem is that when the phone (after several hours, also of intensive use) reaches 12% in a few seconds it drops to 11% then suddenly to 0% and it shuts down.
Then, If I charge it for 10 minutes, unplug and turn it on, battery is at 4% and lasts for another hour: this should prove the problem is not the battery but its reading.
And deleting batter stats is useless, besides this being a myth...

I do have original z1 stock .157 rom and I while ago had not this problem.
And yes, it seems that from 100% to 12% it takes ages even with heavy use then suddenly in 3 seconds drops to 0%

i tested every kernel out there for cm11
it is about bad reading from battery
but as no offline charge on cm roms
so no calibiration
So what is the solution?
This morning it dropped from 42% to 21% in a minute and then to 0% in seconds. I put charger on, left it charge 3 minutes, turned it on, batt was at 5%, unplugged and phone remained awake for 20 minutes during use
There must be a way... Full reset maybe?

I will try removing sd card, even though I do not see why that would be a problem
Same problem.
Tried
>PC Companion Repair
>Batt calibration
>flashing Stock rom using flashtool
Still drops to 0% when it reach 50%
Maybe a battery problem?
We experience it all by now maybe because our z1 is more than a year old and battery maybe affected?

Try this: when it reaches 50% and shuts down, while phone is off, plug it in, wait 10 minutes, turn it on and unplug it. Phone should be at 8% or so, and will last normally now.

sir are u Filpino ? one of d users of this server have suggested me to bring my unit to the sony center. it seems my phone's battery have already expanded. That same thing have made my phone's backcover to open (on the middle part where the battery is located).
I have no complains with the speed of my z1 and its reliability. But after awhile (i have been using my phone for 1 year and 4 months now and no complain until now), my phone shuts off to 0% right after usign it for almost 30 minutes of extensive use (playing summoners war/family guy). But from the past yr i have no problem even if its too hot and drains the way it normally should, not until now. it is really annoying. It drains pretty bad from 100% to 70% then 30% to 13% then shutsoff . It still drains even when on sleep right after usign it for 30minutes. For example, playing for like 30 minutes, the battery will turn from 100% to 72% . Then after awhile on sleep for 30 minutes, the battery will be turn to 40-50% then the rest of the history will follow....
Not recently, i have noticed that waiting for my phone to cool off after it shuts off , will have it again another 50% of its life when u turn the power on again.
Before, i charge my phone for like 3 hours , now 1 hour and its full. :/ U Can really see the fault around here.
What to do ?
I have tried using Battery Calibration, Set CPU - all did not work.
This manifested after 2 months now.
Is my battery at fault?
what can i do?
Do i need to use another stock like CM12?
My phone is up to date.
Please i need ur help so badly. Any replies or same situations will help me .

Obviously your battery is at fault.
You battery must have expanded and this will go ON
See at the back of your device where is battery is located. It may have been little changed shape .I.e not flat surface little bugled
Go to service centre ASAP
