For some time now, I've found that my phone shuts down sometimes as early as 25 or 30 percent still left on the battery. I mean literally, forced shutdown. I can't even get through an 8 hour workday anymore without charging, which is sad for a phone with a 3900 mAh battery that used to last me 30+ hours.
I'd do a full reset, if I thought it might bring things back to something resembling normal. Anyone else have this issue?
I get the same but closer to 15%. I'll plug it in when its dead and start it back up and it will already be at 15-16% charged.
Same problem here. I'm assuming its just because the battery is getting old. Worth noting that I have done a factory reset recently (for other issues) but the battery issue persists.
Your battery is dying. Mine did the same, then it started shutting off at higher percentages (shutdown at 80%, could only charge to 90%). Also when it reached the end, the audio on my phone (speakers and phone) cut out completely. I replaced my own with this one: http://amzn.to/2ffynQB. Easy replacement, audio came back and battery seems ok.

OK, good to know. I guess I'll just ride out the last month and a half and hopefully trade in for a Pixel XL in December.
I wonder if this is a common issue with Motorola phones, or specific to the Turbo. I would expect the battery to last at LEAST 2 years. I've had a lot of Samsung devices that are a lot older than the Turbo, and they still hold a charge quite well. Just sold a Note 2 to someone, and also a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. Both still had great battery life.
Disappointing, as the Turbo is still a great phone...
Update: For the first time since the OG Droid, I've decided to flash a custom ROM. I'm running the 7.0 Nougat ROM found here. My battery life has been greatly improved. I'm currently sitting at 43% after 8 hours of normal workday use. I usually would have had to plug it in by now. Also, no more random shutdowns at 20%.

Hi
I have noticed when I soft reset my phone the battery drops anywere from 5% up to about 70%! It varies from rom to rom. If i plug it in and softreset it a couple of times the battery goes up to around what it use to be. If it makes a difference I flash roms alot and don't usually install to many applications.
Is this normal at all or is my battery faulty? It's only about 8 months old.
Any ideas? Tips I could try?
Thanks
Imran
you know, i have the same problem when installing, touch x legendary rom, battery is about 96,96% but when i install that rom, battery drops down to 8,7%, i just plug in power for second, and battery jumps to 98%, and then all working fine...
The way phones and other devices display their state of charge (%) isn't always accurate, hence why it jumps back up 5% after plugging it in. I don't think your battery is unreliable, it's just reporting the wrong percent of charge...
I see. Mine is more like 50% so I guess mine is just really wrong! any ideas for fixing this?
Also i have the typical xperia x1 problem were it thinks the headphones are plugged in for the last 4 days. I have plugging and unplugging the headphones in heaps but it doesn't seem to work
Thanks
I have the same problem.
Phone has one year and 8 months.
Wine phone or battery?
I just got exact problem this morning
I agree with comment above, I think it just battery indicator not accurately represented battery state.
I also noticed the problem happened when I get my phone idle for a while
I was just going to start a new thread about this kind of thing. My phone's original battery has run out at anywhere between 0 and 30%... it tends to go for a couple of days if I don't use the phone much. I've tried recalibration and it doesn't really help. I thought that was bad, but I just bought a backup battery and it's even worse... yesterday it went from 100 to 50% over half a day on standby, then I used it for about ten minutes and it just went off! At 50%!
I was only expecting rubbish life from the cheap battery but at least report the charge properly so I have a chance! Old phones could always do it... why can't one that cost hundreds of pounds when it was new?
I take it there's nothing you can really do?
I already took care of phone and telephony app but it says most of my battery life was killed by phone idle. How do I get rid of that?

You really don't need to get rid of these apps, without a radio they are not being used.

I'm not convinced
When I first got my NC, my first charge lasted 8 hours. After a few days of recharging, this crept up to ~10 hours. After rooting and renaming the phone and telephone files, battery life went to 4-5 days!
I left my charging cable at home and plugged it in at night once a week or so.
Now that I'm on HC, I'm back to carrying the cable with me at all times.
I did manage to find a power saver app with a 'Tablet' mode that shuts everything down but WiFi, and this seems to have improved things a little bit, but there is a very distinct difference between the battery life I had on Eclair with those 2 APKs renamed and what I'm now experiencing on HC.
If I'm not mistaken, phone idle is what happens when your screen locks. I would expect it to be there.
with nookie 0.6.8 running on sd cardd i only get about 4 days with very light use.

A real Android newb here - does teh NC suffer battery drain for its non-present phone connection? If so, how do you disable? Thanks
Currently neither Froyo, Gingerbread, or Honeycomb go into full sleep mode because of sleep death, Eclaire does. Hence, it's better battery life. It's what delayed CM7 for such a long time, and in the end they couldn't solve it. If I remember right it's a driver issue that should be solved once B&N releases their own Foyo update, and we get our hands on some real froyo drivers instead of making/modding our own.
I'm running CM7 r17 and I loose about 14% battery overnight(12+ hours). With elcaire, I saw something more like 4% loss. That's with wireless turned off of course.
I ran HC for a couple days (I like CM7 more) and saw the same battery-life problems, so don't think it's just you.

Wait, so you're using HC? The battery life on HC is horrible.. I thought you were referring to stock ROM...
Meh... Pointless discussion.

Three things:
1) I'm not sure why you keep referencing that you don't have your charging cable (this thread and the other). Is it supposed to indicate that you charge less frequently, therefore you have better battery life? You also don't indicate if your use/behavior was the same or different.
2) Your "measurement" points are:
- Brand new
- Post root with renamed files
Too many variables changed. You should have "tested" post root with files NOT renamed and then test post root with files renamed.
3) Brand new batteries do not always have the best battery life. After a few charge cycles, they tend to increase (some times exponentially).
It's generally accepted on this board that changing the files do not correlate to better battery life. However, it is your opinion and your Nook.
I have an ATT M7 One that is a little under a year old and recently (Past month or so) I have been having really odd battery fluctuations. I’ll link to an imgur album with some of the battery level graphs that I’ve caught in the past few weeks to hopefully help you understand what I’m talking about more clearly since I don’t think I’ll be able to describe them very accurately on my own. So in the first case i’ve encountered I will charge the battery fully, and once the phone is running on battery it will last anywhere from 15 minutes to maybe an hour two and then just die. But when it dies, the battery level still displays 60%-70%.(Images 4,5,6,& 7) Then when I turn the phone back on the battery level will be anywhere from around 0%-20% and will last for another couple of minutes before dying again. There is another case of my battery acting really strange where the battery level will stay at around 50%-60% even though it’s being charged continuously (Right side of Image 1). I don’t know if it’s because my battery’s calibration is off or of the battery is just dying. I really hope the battery isn’t just outright dying; to get to this level of battery instability in under a year seems pretty shocking to me. I should add that i didn’t get any of these problems before I rooted my phone. I didn’t notice it while it was rooted with the stock rom. I initially started noticing the problem after I installed a GPE rom (not exactly sure which). I thought it was just the rom at first but I’ve switched around to different roms and have been getting the same problem. So does anyone know what the problem is or what could have caused it and if it is even fixable at all?
Thanks for any input!

UPDATE: I've performed a factory reset and used the phone as normal while watching battery life. The battery life lasted about an hour and a half, getting down to 80%. Throughout the battery life I was re-installing my apps and one of my restores required a restart. When I restarted my phone, the phone powered on with 60% battery life then died about a minute later.
So its been 6-7 months since I encountered this problem for the first time.
Earlier I thought that maybe my battery's (orignal) fault, but last month I changed my battery (new, chinese) and I am still facing this problem.
Things I have already tried:
Deleting battery stats (through multiple apps)
Draining phone, recharging 3 times
Flashing rom again (from stock to cm11 to cm12 to current cm13)
Everytime I am about to reach to 26%, the phone dies. When it restarts (after charging a bit) it starts from 5%. It keeps charging at a normal pace until it reaches 73-75% when the charging speed increases drastically (74 to 100 in less than 5mins)
It maybe possible that the new battery I bought has the same defects as the previous one did but chances are slim.
Is there anyway to fix this? Is it possible to measure the real battery capacity? Also, can I change the system files in such a way that I get relative battery percentage (change system default 2300mAh to 1800mAh)?
Thanks!
I am also facing the same issue. I have lg d850 when reaches 30% phone restarts and finally shut down.

Your batteries are bad and don't withstand the required max current - thus the shutdowns. Chinese batteries are bad even when they're new. Original batteries can and do become bad with time - they degrade. Especially if they get hot a lot and/or are brought down to 0% often. Sometimes when battery goes bad, it's blown and you can see it having a "belly". Sometimes not.

I agree. I got a new battery and my phone would die at around 50%. Tried all sorts of things but no change.
It's definitely the battery. Luckily I could return mine and get a refund
Mine Dies anytime at 15% 20% or even below 25%, So always i connects when i know its below 25%
Hi Everyone,
I recently bought an One plus 3T 2nd hand. It was used by first buyer for 2 months, fully fresh set. After I took over, I found a weired problem with battery percentage. The phone dies at 35% charge everytime saying too low battery. As other forums suggested its a battery calibration problem, some said software problem etc as some pixel phones and nexus 6P had similar issue after nougat update. Anyway what happened to me so far: -
1. Bought the phone a month ago, it always dies at 35% charge left and within few hours.
3. Did battery calibration didn't work
3. Moved to stock rom without rooting or any hacking it didn't solve the problem.
4. Very recently I have done manual calibration- Let the phone die and charge it full 6hours with the phone turned up, I did it 3 cycles.
5. Interestingly after 2nd cycle it did went to 5% charge before dying only once, I thought its because of calibration is done and I am good to go.
6. But again it died 35% today 4th and 5th cycle of charging. The phone is new and battery is not old enough for such problems.
7. I am one OxygenOS 4.1.6, non rooted, stock recovery all stock.
Please suggest whats left I can do? Have you ever faced similar problems? how did you solve it? Did it come back? If nothing works where can I buy new 3400mah Battery?
Looks like a problem with the battery, I had a similar problem with my new Nexus 7, 3 years ago and they replaced the battery.
You cannot buy a new OEM battery elsewhere than from oneplus. You can contact them and ask them what are the costs..
