I let my phone run down to 16% and I was planning to let it go to 10% before plugging it in to charge.
At 16% I was on wifi and browsing websites when it just turned the screen off, made a warning sound and flashed the red battery light. After about 3 sec it started vibrating non stop which made me think of the 'discharge' feature on some phones, (which quickly uses/discharges the battery..), I didn't want it to go to 0% so I pressed (tapped not held) the power button which seemed to turn it off. I turned it back on, plugged in, and it booted up showing 0% batt.
My question is, has anyone come across this before? Should the batt % be this incorrect? and why did it vibrate..
My phone has been frequently below 15% without problems (yes, it's not very good for the battery, I know). It should vibrate once when it hits 15% and display the charge message, but that's it.
Happened once though that my battery discharged from 50% to 0 in literally 1 second, don't know what happened then, but it hasn't happened again.
Sounds like either your battery shorted or the calibration on battery % was way off on your phone. Try charging it to full and see what happens the next time you reach 16%, it might've fixed itself.
The other day my Nexus turned off at 11% :/
wipe battery stats after a full charge.. guess that will solve the problem
this isnt just a froyo issue, i am still on 2.1 and my battery dies at 8% EVERY time. it turns off, and when i turn it back on, it shows 0% but it died at 8%. its been this way the entire time i've owned the nexus. i'm not rooted so i never wiped the battery log files yet....but i will soon enough.
Ya my phone dies at 20% everytime. I just ordered a new one though

do that.
On 2.1 my N1, first my N1 had its multitouch laggy starting at 15%, then after some day of uses it shuts down at 1%.
Your battery just need to be calibrate.
Hey,
this is my first posting, so hi to all! I´m glad this community exists
Well, this is my problem: My HTC One is Week old. A few days ago, i was sitting in the train, battery was up to 40%, when its suddenly turning off. So i tried to reboot it, but its always turning off again. I use the recovery to wipe and clean the system und rebooting again, after a few seconds, its turning off again. Because the battery was up to 40%, my first thoughts was, its broken...but i tried to charged it, and first its working. System was up, running normal. But again, at 35-40% (surfing in the web) its suddenly turning off again. So i was thinking i could be the battery. I searched in the web, and found the same problems with the other HTC-One Modells (can someone confirm this?!). So i tried to calibrate the battery (non-root, so i used the "turning on-charge-turning off-charge"-method). Working fine. I tested the device with the antutu battery-test, its worked fine from 100% to 3-4%, no problems. I charged it again up to 60%, so i can test it quick again and not had to wait so long. Down to 30% again, no problems. But at 25% its starting again rebooting. This time, the LED ist blinking red, indicating the battery is low-voltage oO (right?) i pluged in the power an the LED turns instantly green...oO i waited some minutes, plugged in power. At the moment its charging again, so i have to wait before i can test it again.
Anyone had the same issues?? Is it right, that it could be the same problems, as with the other HTC-Models?? (that would be bad for everyone..) Any suggested what i else i can do? Thank you folks for every help!
First thing I'd do is to attempt to calibrate the battery by charging it to full, unplugging and letting it run down until the phone turns itself off, and then immediately plugging it in and recharging back to full. Not sure if this was the process you took in the re-calibration earlier, but if not, it's worth a shot. It sounds like you're suffering from some cell mismatches that can generally be fixed with calibration. You can decrease the amount of time it takes to completely discharge by doing things like increasing your screen-on time, full brightness, playing games/movies etc.
If that doesn't work and your phone is still continuously shutting off when it reads 30-40% battery life, I'd just send it in for an exchange. There could be a defect in the battery causing it to register the percentage incorrectly, and it would be better for you in the long run to deal with it now (while you're still under warranty).

Thanks for your advise I will give it a try! If there any problems in the next 2 days again, i will send it back and get a new one.
So I've never had a problem with my battery at all. I easily got 6h of screen on time and everything was great.
Recently my Nook started to randomly shut off at around 20-30 %. It "popped" and it was off. Didn't reboot either. Like the battery was dead.
I would have to charge it again to be able to power it on.
Also the stats seemed to be off. The lockscreen sometimes told me it's fully charged and whenever I unplugged my Nook it wasn't fully charged. The battery LED also sometimes flashes green/red during charging.
I only get around 2-3 h of SOT at the moment.
I tried reflashing a couple of times (with full wipes) but the problem occured again.
So my question is: Are my battery stats messed up? Does it just stop charging at a certain point because it thinks it's fully charged but it isn't in reality?
Any ideas (on how to fix this)?

It's almost sure that you battery is degrading very fast. But its my advice to re-calibrate your battery. Set your screen brightness to max setting and leave it on until it shuts down. Now don't power it on. Leave it charging for around 2 and half hour.
Now install geekbench benchmark app and test your battery.
If you heard a pop noise, the battery probably delaminated/micro-exploded. (Li-Ion's tend to swell and fail from the heat of (over)charging.)
There's a company, newpower99.com, who has a YouTube video on replacing the battery in the HD+. The battery sold for $25 US last year, but now that our batteries are beginning to degrade, they're out of stock.
I found another site selling replacement batteries for $80. (portatronics.com)
I've noticed that my screen-on time has dropped from 6 hous to 5.5. Maybe the Nokia N1 will be available and rooted by the time I hit 3 hours.

I'm having the same issues, and reading this reminded me of trying BatteryCalibration to reset the battery since my nook HD+ stock OS is rooted.
I had this problem several times before I installed CM. Usually, it happened when there was an update available, and when the Nook started to update, it factory reset itself.

My phone got weird battery problem
My phone is 2 yr old & battery replaced last yr
S Off using custom rom insertcoin senseven artmod
I think physically battery is ok
Problem is phone shows battery discharging very quickly
after that what I do
reset battery stats by power off or auto shut down by low battery then holding vol up & power button screen on till phone off again then start phone again it will shows increased battery %
For eg using phone for 10 hrs with 1 hr screen on time it discharge 100 to 0% then I reset battery stats & start phone again it will shows 65% battery
2 nd thing if I'm charging phone it wether phone on or off (let's assume 35% ) it's % not increased but it shows phone using more power after some time it will shows less battery (15%)but in reality phone is charging after resetting battery stats with above method it will shows correct %(55%)
I tried these methods to correct it
Flash stock firmware again unsuccessful
Flash stock ruu again unsuccessful
Also tried vol up + vol down + power button holding for 2 minutes to battery stats reset
What I should do ?
I count manually battery life it's above 24 hr with screen on time of 2.5 hr

Did you re-downloaded your apps after flashing the ruu or you have tested the battery directly after flashing the ruu? (to make sure none of your apps or settings is draining the battery).

Battery is not drained
% not showed correctly
After battery stats reset it shows correct % again
My problem is I have to restart & reset battery stats again and again to use 100% battery life I have to do it 4-5 times

What about your apps? Like @alray asked. Have you tested with just the barebone stock rom with no apps installed?
I had a similar issue a while ago it turned out to be "Gsam Root companion" after removing the app my battery percentage returned to normal.

Err! Strange could be battery problem but it's weird how clearing stats cures it temporarily.
Have you tried resetting USB host mode with Vol up+down + power for 2 mins?
Maybe charge to 100% in all modes (on, off and in recovery) wipe stats reset USB host mode and reboot and monitor.

yes I tried Vol up+down + power for 2 mins
Unsuccessful
Whatever I do it always shows decreasing battery % but after battery stats reset it jumps to higher value
Even phone is off & put on charging battery shows decreasing trend but after reset shows correct %
Totally pissed off
This is latest drawing uhhh !!
I think your battery is going to die soon. Most likely some of its blocks are complitely dead, that's why it shows that kind of stats

That will be good at least I won't have suspicion to change battery or not
But how it possible to have 24+ hr battery life + 2-3 hrs SOT ?

Did you try to run your phone without rebooting to see how much it will last? Also, did you try another charger? Judging from your screenshots my guess is your battery is dying, but that would mean you couldn't get that much off charge and SOT to save your life. My battery is still pretty good, and I get just over 3 hours SOT and 36-48 hours off charge

ok let me explain screen shot
Anyhow I charged phone to 100% start it use it for 14-15 hr with 1-1.5 hr sot it goes to 0%
switched off or auto off
not charged
Battery stats reset with vol up + power button for 20 sec (it shows green HTC then goes off again)
Start phone again it shows 60% battery again (not charged )
Use 7-8 hrs with sot 1 hr approx
Goes to 0% again
Repeat process again shows battery 30-35% again
So this is screen shot history

I understood your screenshot. So, every time your phone shuts down, you do the reset thing, right? I would like to know what happens if you just try to turn on your phone after it shuts down. No reseting, no nothing. Simply try to turn it on

That's a lot like my old Xperia X1. Turned out it was charge regulator issue. You might want to look that up. If I remember correctly, Xperia had that regulator on its motherboard. I changed it and everything was fine after that. I think M7's charge regulator is in the battery, so we're back to faulty battery. But that's just my opinion, you might want to monitor charging current to see if your phone is getting correct charge current

I have 3 HTC phones in my family I use their charger randomly
My sister's HTC One m7 battery is fine no issues
I think my phones motherboard can have some issues as in warranty period it's battery changed 2 times so it could be !!
I got confused as after 1st battery replaced I hard brick phone & HTC changed motherboard after 2 months of that battery replaced again
Now I don't know what it is ?
I wish if battery is faulty it should dead asap so I can replace battery

Well, it could very well be motherboard issue too, but that was my last resort as it means you're pretty much screwed if your warranty expired
@Danny201281 @donkeykong1
Battery replaced but still have same problem
Is there any battery sensor ?
If yes where motherboard or any other chip like charging usb ?
Hello,
I have this problem for a while, where my battery percentage suddenly drops to 0% causing my phone to shut down. When I boot it up again it says 1%, or shuts down right before my login screen appears. After booting it a few times it will say the *real* percentage again, which is usually around 40%. I could also skip the multiple reboots by plugging the charger in before booting causing it to also display the original percentage.
I have tried recalibrating the battery a few times (by using an app that removes a file that stores the battery percentages), but unfortunately that did not help. I've included a picture of my battery statistics which show how my battery percentage changes.
Thanks for reading .
It means you have dead battery for, good luck ?
