Hi
I'm having a weird issue that I can't explain...
Not seven hours ago, I was using my Oneplus 3T just fine but when I woke up this morning... it was completely dead! When I try turning it on it shows the oneplus logo for about 3 seconds and then turns off. Pressing volume up or down to get into the bootloader or recovery does the same exact thing.
When I plug it in, it shows the charging screen but holding the power button does absolutely nothing.
What the hell just happend?
As stupid as this may sound, seems like the battery is totally drained? Charge it up for an hour before using. Gluck.

It ended up being that... my phone was still about 80% when I left it 7 hours ago, certain apps are telling me that it drained about 50% per hour and that's just crazy!

maybe thats why they're sporting dash charge it dies quicker than it charges
Haha good to hear your phone is back in action. Battery drains can be a pain, you just need to see what app caused it .. clear the cache and preferably the data too for that app and see if it still causes damage to battery. If it doesn't fix time to learn to live without that app.

After fully charging my phone, I unplugged it. A few hours later, I tried to wake it by pressing the power button. It would not turn on. I tried to plug it in figuring some app was draining the battery but the charge light (the upper right on corner) never lights ups. I pull the battery and left it that way for about a day. I put the battery back in then the phone starts to work again. This has happen about 3 times so far. So, is my Nexus One dying?
I wouldn't start worrying straight away. I've had this happen once and I think it's caused by a rogue or stuck app that drains the battery. I didn't change any apps after this and haven't had it happen again so I concluded it was a one off. The reason the charging LED didn't appear is probably because the battery was completely dead and simply needed longer to get a decent charge in it.
power button going bad maybe ?

It was 38% charged when it started to work again so it wasn't totally drained.

If it is a bad power button, why didn't it light up when I plugged it to be charged?
my old battery has bad conductance.. at times the phone never starts up.. so I clean(just wipe wid a cloth) the connectors and then everything works fine...
this any help?

Battery is dead...
Hello,
I own a 5 month old htc one m7. From past few days I have observed that the battery is draining unusually from 100%-85%.Today I observed that it came down to 88% from 100% in half an hour during which the phone was just in standby mode with no background apps running. Is this normal? Please suggest me what to do.
Shut it off and charge it

still turn it off. it will definitely help
To add to the good advice the other people have stated you can try to better calibrate the percentage of your device by letting it run completely down to the point where your phone shuts off. While its off plug it in. Keep it off while its charging. Once its green turn the phone back on, still keeping it plugged in. The indicator will go green to red for a short time. Once your at 100% then you can unplug and use your phone. By running it down to zero and leaving it off and fully charging it you essentially are calibrating the device.
Currently its off, and if it drops to 90% or so within minutes theres a good chance it could do the opposite when it gets so 5% or less. It might sit there for an hour or so because the calibration is off.

It didnt work for me
Hi everyone,
Since few days my Xperia Z battery is behaving crazily. It goes up and down. Sometimes when I disconnect the charger, like say at 60 percent, it suddenly goes up or goes down and when I again reconnect the charger it again goes back to 60 percent. Sometimes it doesn't charge only. Sometimes it starts charging, then all of a sudden it stops charging then starts by itself. :/
What's wrong with my device, I don't know. Need help.

Maybe you should try to charge it fully while it's off? Might not do anything but it might help You might just have a damaged/faulty battery.

Well, sometimes batteries just give out and start acting weird. How long have you had the phone? Sometimes as your battery ages, it just starts doing weird thing's. Wouldn't be a problem if we could change the battery

Give out within 7 months? Yeah, wouldn't have been a problem if we could change batteries. But that's the sad part of the story.
I am thinking of switching to Note 3 now. Charges fast, has a bigger battery, stays long. That's exactly what I need.
faster charging kills battery faster
Hi There, this may sound stupid but have you checked the lead/charger, is it an aftermarket one? I have also had similar probs but it was the conections. also try a system wipe and a full charge. and wait for the phone battery to fully flatten then repeat. always charge past 100 percent if you have installed a fresh rom or done a system wipe.

fast charging plus over charging or charging while using the phone= super kill battery

This is true, however sometimes the battery can indicate it is fully charged when it isn't, ( battery stats can be wrong ). I always leave my phone on charge when I sleep and have never had any probs my xperia t is now about 18 months old.
Thanks everyone. I guess I have somehow damaged the battery way too early. I used to use it while charging also. May be the reason of it's present Behaviour.
Right now I am not letting the battery go below 50% and have found out that it stays good, charges, no hiccups
But as soon as the battery goes below fifty it starts behaving too badly, takes time to start charging.

I'm so paranoid about using my phone while it's charging I avoid it as much as possible.
Since you've only had it for 7 month's or so, you should still have the manufactures warranty. You should send it in for service. I had a problem with my old ZL last year, and I ended up getting a new phone.
My phone has water damage. I currently have it in a bag of rice to hopefully bring it back to life. After a few hours I plugged it in to see if that would help, and I it had a strange activity. The LED in the phone handset was lit and green. I never rooted it to enable the LED. Any advice would be great!
PS: Sorry if this post is not the most coherent. I am currently very hungover, and having problems functioning. Also, I have no idea how my phone got wet! Happy Sunday to me!
Try a battery reset
The Dirtydee Z3
The led turns on when the battery is so low that the display can't turn on to show that its charging.
Device should turn on after sometime

As @adity said above, the LED turns on when your battery is too low to turn on the screen.
Charge it for some time.

Testing that now. Thanks for the heads up!
Fingers (and toes) crossed!!
You should've let it rest on rice for like one day.
On the good side, the moto x is kind of water proof.

*Update*
The screen is now on and showing 0% battery. It has been plugged in for hours now with no change in level. I was able to get into FastBoot, however any option I choose results in the phone rebooting back to the battery charge level screen.
Thanks for the help!
*Update 2*
I plugged my phone into my cars 2.1 amp charger and after 20min or so it showed 100% battery. The phone booted, however it did not complete and turned off. When it did It read 0% once more. I have tried volume down and power for 3 mins with no result. Any more tips?
* update 3*
I pulled the back over off and held the battery ribbon down. LIFE!! Phone displayed 100% and it was running fine. However, when I removed it from power it shut off immediately.

I thought so too. I let it charge over night while it was cycling the boot screen, and when I awoke it was perfect. Battery 100% and turned on without issue. I understand letting your battery hit 0% is bad, but having it completely malfunction for 24+ hrs is rather poor play on Motorola's behalf.
How do you know that it's moto's fault?
Perhaps there was still some water left in your device?
This took longer to dry and caused the malfunction...
Don't judge so quickly!
I tell you this, because I had a motorola x with the same problem, the solution was to change the battery. Solved, try another battery
Dropping phone in water and having issues after is Moto's fault....? :silly:
I'll add... Water can and usually does wreak havoc on these things. Anything can go wrong after. Usually I'd say move on. Don't waste time or money trying to fix it.
You maybe were lucky. :good: But to suggest it's Moto's fault is crazy. Lol My X has died many times and 30 seconds on the charger and it boots. Anything you experienced was from the water.... Not a defect.

You put your phone in water, then turned it on again after only trying to dry it for a VERY short time. Bit amazing it even worked, and your complaining because it worked but only after drying?
Jesus man.
Pretty sure LIthium Ion batteries don't like going down near zero. Even when your phone says zero% and the phone automatically turns off it still isn't completely discharged.
I've let my nexus 7, and game controllers sit unused for a while. When you try to use them again they need a really long charge before they will work again.
The water probably put a load across the battery and nearly completely discharged it.
I actually just went thru this. I did the old school battery calibration using NeMa's app in the play store. Says to discharge 100%.. Phew lol. I was stressed. I had the same problems as above
Pixel 5: the first charge/discharge cycle went well. I did it with the Pixel Stand wireless charger. Now 2nd charge (with cable this time) was stuck at 44%...reboot then suddenly goes to 88% then stuck again...reboot then suddenly 100%...then it was stuck at 100%...reboot 96%.... Now seems discharging properly... Hope it's just the battery that needs to level out...or a software problem that will be solved. Anyone else had this problem?
You are not alone. A LOT of people including myself had/have the same issue.
Mine got stuck charging at 1% then I restart and was already at 100%
(On a separate topic: I'm now on my second cycle...my battery life is at 47% left with 26 hours standby and 5 hours 37 minutes SoT...so my battery is very slowly decreasing. I'm not saying this a bad thing, quite the opposite it's lasting more than expected but I'm not sure how is going to end.. I'll hold till 1% .).

I had this issue with my Pixel 2 XL when I got it 3 years ago. It didn't get stuck charging but it did get stuck discharging. I would take it off the charger at 100% before I went to bed. The next morning, 8 hours later, it would still be at 100%. Then I would use it for like an hour and it would stay at 100%. I would reboot at it would be at like 85%. I don't remember if it went away on it's own or if it was the first update that cleared it up but it was fine after like a week or two.

Let's hope Google will fix this or even the phone itself with the adaptive battery will fix it. Discharge is fine to me too. Very slow, but definitely not stuck.
I've got the same issue too where I'm stuck at 100%. It seems that it happens more when I left the phone charge all night long and especially with the pixel stand wirelessly. (I tried today to charge it up to100% with wire and unplug it when charged and it discharges proprely). I don't know where it is coming from. But when I'm stuck at 100% I reboot and the % drop fast to what seems to be the correct amount. But quite annoying for a brand new phone at this price point...
I have the same issue. Battery was stuck at 100% for quite long time and had to restart the phone to show the correct percentage. Is it a hardware or any OS issue? I have contacted the google support just some time back. Hope to hear from them.
Should be fixed in the next security patch https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/10/23/google-pixel-5-4a-5g-charging-stops-bug/
Same problem. You say it is a software issue, so I don't care? Waiting for update?

I just checked and the new update was ready although it may be a security patch only.
This morning I spoke with google support and they told me to try recharging from the computer and not to use the original charger. In this way, for me, battery wasn't stuck during recharge...
So, maybe the issue was the charger? Is it possible? Or was it just a coincidence?
I never had an issue where the battery level got stuck mid-way either charging or depleting but I did have the "issue" where it stayed at 100% for hours. This has gone away - I assume that the battery calibrated?

If charged to 100% it will stay at 100% until I rebooted. Then it goes back to normal.
