Phone won't show battery discharging?? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi all,
After flashing Beta 8 two days ago something weird happened, my phone showed it was on 42% charge for the whole afternoon even after heavy usage and all of a sudden I turned off and said battery was too low so I had to leave it for some 5 minutes charging before it could turn on again.
Yesterday it would not charge even when it was turned off so I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and it started charging without any other issues, today however it is stuck at 38% after I've been watching videos for more than an hour and still in 38%.
See attached for some visual...
It will turn off eventually and I hope I turned back on, I just want to know whether any of you guys are experiencing issues after beta 8 or this is just an isolated issue or maybe a defective phone. I did not have any other issues before .

FIXED
Ok so last night I just cleared cache, dirty flashed Beta 8 again, cleared cache again and the phone is up to normal again.
No clue on what happened though...

Had the same opposite problem the first night I flashed OB8, wouldn't show charging or act like it even though it was. I didn't have to do a dirty flash though, one reboot and everything has been back to normal since

G1 turning off randomly

Recently I decided to update my phone from cupcake to Super D 1.10.3 and I've been getting a problem where my phone would randomly turn off mostly when I'm talking on the phone or when it uses data. I noticed that this problem never occurs when it is hooked up to power though. I also noticed that the battery level are showing strange %s all the time. It would go from like 80% then when it randomly shuts off automatically go into red, to the point where I can't reboot my phone without power. I've tried about 4-5 different roms, reinstalled the radio/SPL but still have the same issue. Hopefully somebody here can help me figure out what is wrong because I don't believe it's a battery issue as it works almost perfectly sitting idle.
Thanks !
That kept happening to me. I decided to brick it, but it died off on it's own and never turned on so it saved me some trouble.
most likely a battery problem i believe. happened to me and i simply replaced the battery.
Try wiping the battery stats and dalvick cache in recovery . Fix permissions . It may be a widget acting up .

I always blame it on the widgets.
What do you have on the screen. Most of the time when it does that it's because of a kernel panic. Too much going on at once can cause the device to crash.
right now the only widgets are power control, and beautiful widgets. I'll try to get rid of power control, hopefully it works! if not i'll call tmobile for a new battery

-_-, i'm kind of a noob so i'm not sure how to do that
go into recovery (assuming you have amonra's) and go to wipe, then theres an option to clear dalvik-cache.
so far nothing seems to be working =\

I have this EXACT same issue. Started about a week ago. I think its has something to do with wiping the battery data too often ot possibly incorrectly?
Gonna try wiping davlik-catche and battery (after a full charge is reported while powered off) but one question...after wiping after charging, do I leave it plugged into power or do I unplug power before rebooting?
EDIT: I also have tried this with difft ROMS and SPLs. Only crashes when on the phone or using data. Not a loose battery (like others have suggested) as I can shake the $#!1 out of it and not have it power off, don't think its the battery. Left my G1 all night, no problems. Started checking out market downloads, crashed (with no "powering down" splash) within 3min of usage. Gonna try downgrading the radio to see if that helps (like was said, seems to be a data issue).
UPDATE: So after un-rooting back to stock android 1.0 and again experiencing these crashes yet still not having one with power supply attached I've narrowed down my problem to either the battery (hopefully) or the phone hardware itself (hopefully not). Find out later on today...
i too have the same exact problem..i twas fine until recently...but when i shifted to cyan 5.0.7 from 4 i had this problem.i thought it was a sd card problem so i just booted the g1 without the sdcard in and it worked fine.so i just reformatted the sd card n checked it with checkflash the sdcard was fine....just put in stock cyanmod and running the phone now will tell u the result when i get back...hopefully it should be the sdcard fault
Its your battery. This started happening to me about 2 weeks ago and i ordered a new battery and all my problems are solved now. Just to make sure look at the center of your battery and check if it is swollen or has a bump, if it does im 100% sure its the battery
hmm yup the battery is swollen at the center looks like i need to get a new one

suddenly death

Hey guys.just want to ask any1 had same problem with me or not?yesterday my phone suddenly death after online fb.but my battery percentage around 26% after i try to on back my phone it show 1 % than i charge back to untill full.2nd time last night i try to restart my phone when my battery have 61% after on back.i had this same problem.i already try check with hidden menu battery health test.everything was fine.what should i do?
I had a similar experience once on PA 6 beta 2. I had forgotten to put my phone on charge one night but my battery was 70 something percent. Woke up next morning and phone was hot and dead. So I used my iPad charger to charge it up fast. Since then I've done lots of resets and wipes of data, including formating system.
First check your govouner setting using your prefered app. Set to Ondemand and see what happens.
Have you you tried factory reseting your phone?
If you're rooted and have recovery just wipe data. If you have the ROM you're on, on you're storage of your phone format system along with wiping data, cache and delvik cache. Then reflash ROM.
Of on stock and boot loader locked use PC Companion or official Sony app for mac I think it's called Bridge something.

Nexus 6 over-evaluates battery....

Hi,
it began a few days ago: after a complete charge, the battery stats stayed at 100% for a few hours and then began to drop.
Since then, every time it gets to 60% i know it is empty. The time it gets to 60% is about the normal discharge time and when hitting 60, the battery indicator gets red and shuts down the phone. It drives me crazy not to know the real stats since i travel a lot.
I tried wiping cache, it didn' work. I made a fresh re-install, it didn't work . I am on stock 5.1
What should i do?
Probably need to flash stock

Nougat Causes Random Reboots

Ever since I flashed the OTA my N6 has been having random reboots and battery life issues. The reboots happened three times today and all three times happened when the phone was just sitting next to me.
I originally had the WiFi problem where it wouldn't connect to anything until I reset the network settings. A factory reset didn't work for the WiFi issue. I am not rooted and just running stock with encryption.
Android OS is using a lot of the battery as well. You can see the three times today where it rebooted from the attached screenshot.
Any idea what is going on and how to stop it? So far Nougat has been horrible for me when I didn't have problems like this with the marshmallow upgrade.
as a rule of thumb avoid otas, always go for flashing the factory image via fastboot when available , in my experience otas=trouble

I've had the same battery issue. I think it has to do with the data partition. I did not a full wipe when upgrading to Nougat.
Settings - Battery - 3dots -> Battery optimization, and manually optimize all apps for battery use.
When you upgraded without a full wipe -> consider a clean reinstall with a full wipe.

All of the apps are setup for Doze. I did a factory reset after installing the OTA, which didn't seem to help. Also, I hooked up the charger last night at 1 am. It's now 6:50am and it only charged from 10% to 82% in that time. I never had issues like this before.
I did a clean install, I had to because it was from a custom rom, but it's been working perfectly for almost a week. If it had some problems they would have shown by now. No wifi trouble, no battery draining.

I noticed that your screen consumed 38% of the battery. That's very much in 15 hours.
Is it possible that there is something magnetic in the neighborhood that is constantly switching the screen on and off. This may happen with cases with magnetic closer.

It was that high because I was trying to figure out what was going on. I ended up this morning doing a complete wipe and reflash of the factory images instead of the OTA. So far it seems to be stable, except the WiFi constantly is dropping strength and jumping back. Not sure what's causing that one.
what most people dont ever consider.. it can be your personal setup thats causing reboots on nougat.

I use minimal apps, on a fully stock setup. I haven't tweaked anything, so how would that cause the reboots?
After reflashing the full factory images yesterday morning I did not have any random reboots. However, when I plugged in to charge last night, using the original cable and charger, it took over 3 hours to go from 55% to full. This was happening before the full flash, but only after Nougat. The other night it went from 10% to 68% in 6 hours. Quick charge doesn't seem to work in Nougat anymore.
Still getting this? Put stock nougat image on mine and experiencing random reboots. Going to try pure tomorrow, hopefully that resolves it.
Mine quick charges fine on a clean factory image install of Nougat. Battery life doesn't seem great but I'm still letting it settle and not sure how old this device is I picked it up off Craigslist the other day

Battery issue - Volcanic Hot

As of late my battery has been getting so hot I think it might go Note 7 on me. I get no warning it drains so fast. It also charges in under 45 minutes. There also seems to an issue with it affecting the way my phone operates. I'm sure it's time for a new one. Just checking to see if anyone else has had this issue.

My wife's phone is having the same issue. I'm going to get all of the data (pictures, etc.) off of it before it totally fails. I saw that some had this issue around 2014 and 2015 and they had to return it to Verizon for a replacement.
Are you rooted? When I get this problem (ever few months or so), I charge up to 100% (then leave it on the charger), run this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix&hl=en, and when it tells me to reboot I go straight to TWRP, wipe dalvic cache and cache (3 times to be sure), then reboot.
Unplug it from the wall (charging and starting up all the apps makes it hot again if I leave it plugged in) and give it 30 minutes to stabilize.
Then I am fine for a while again.
Could be a placebo effect, but I think it helps.

Yes I'm rooted. I was already rebooting up to twice a day. Wiped cache many times. Tried stock rom and couple others. It's not expensive to replace the battery myself. If that doesn't fix it I might be looking at hardware failure.
