After i charge my RAZR turned off to 100%, If I take the adapter out of the socket, but do not turn on the phone, it uses battery. I take out the charger from it at 100% and after a 8h night sleep, the phone reached 50% TURNED OFF!
if i turned it on, then the battery drain is normal.
After reaching from 100% to 50% turned off, the battery drain issue in menu appeared to be SCREEN 23% and PHONE IDLE 23%.
stock ROM.
any help?
thanks!
guess i will use the warranty...
Change the battery

i dont think its the battery to blame. if i start the phone immediately after charging , the battery is ok.
Try restart the phone after full charging, once it is unplugged.
Installing CPU Spy might help too in monitoring if your phone is getting into deep sleep or if something is draining your battery.
i know the solution, i was looking for the battery drain CAUSE
the battery drains is only during the time the phone is closed. completely closed. i doubt that there is a CPU spy who works when the operating system is closed. the phone is at service right now...for another week or so.
AW: GSM RAZR battery strange issue
You're not the only user with this issue. An User here in Germany got it, too.
When he power off his Phone it still drains battery. For him it's better to put it into sleep mode instead of turning it off.
Strange things goin on

i will post here the info from the warranty bulletin, perhaps it will help him too.
the fact is that i have misplaced my warranty certificate, and i had to send the phone to the company from where i have bought it. and i dont know if they will send it to the authorized dealer or not.
the fact is that it consumed battery only if i took it out from charger closed. if i used the phone normally, and turn it off during the night, the battery usage was 0 during the time it was off.
i just received the answer from the service. the phone can not be repaired, so they refund me my money. but there is no RAZR MAXX available at any store in my country. so..what next? nexus 4? or...? any help?

The phone was freshly charged overnight. I was using the internet while listening to music through (3rd party) headset and since the 3G signal in the building was kinda ****ty I switched the phone to EDGE (GSM only). Then I quit the Settings menu and opened Firefox, tried to load a web page and at this point the phone froze. I'm not sure if I restarted it or it restarted on itself but after the boot the battery was showing about 40% less. So I turned the phone off, pulled the battery, rebooted, same reading.
I used the phone for a while after that and now it's showing critically low battery and I'm wondering what should I do now?
Is it really so low on battery or the reading is wrong?
Can 40% battery disappear just like that and what could cause it?
Should I charge the battery or let it discharge until it turns off by itself?
Battery screenshot attached.
Perhaps a battery calibration issue caused due to the crash, my advice would be to drain the battery all the way down to zero and let the phone turn off, remove and reinsert battery and proceed to charge till full and then turn the phone on again. Hopefully issue should be a one-off and now resolved.

happend to me before on my htc desire hd..battery pulled and battery stats dropped down the gutter..just let the battery die and charge fully or even just charge it up to 100% from where u at now..doesnt matter it will fix itself...
My phone was doing the same thing, it was rebooting or shutting down two or three times a day, usually a few minutes after taking off of charge.
I have sent it back for a replacement.
Do not drain the battery to zero. There is not reason to go belox 10% charge, as you could damage the battery if going to 0. These are new batteries much smarter then old ones.
You don't need to drain to zero but it won't do any harm if you do. Probably a wee softwre glitch. Wouldn't get too worried about it.
a good option is battery doctor - its a free aplication from the market...
let your battery go down to 20% and then open the app in charging mode...let it charge(dont close the app during the charging process, just keep it open)...woallla.. u have made a full cycle charge - easy as that...
Anybody had this problem?
I've had my GS2 for nearly 3 months and all has been well. Coming from a Motorola XT720, EVERYTHING is better including the battery life.
Last week I noticed that when connecting the charger, it took a long time for the phone to register that it was connected, ie. it didn't beep, light up and show the charging icon. It was also slow to recognize that the charger had been disconnected. (The charging icon would stay on for some time after.)
I thought a re-boot would help and it threw up the big battery charging icon flashing alternately with the battery over heating icon! Even pulling the battery wouldn't stop the warning message unless it was removed for at least a couple of hours or re-booting via Home, Vol+ and Power.
Whilst all of this was happening, battery life plummeted. I normally get about 1-3% loss of battery per hour in standby but this increased to 5-10% per hour.
The phone has somehow regained its normal response to the charger being connected and disconnected but the poor battery life remains.
Its un-locked, un-rooted and running KF3:KE7:KD1
Any ideas before I do a complete reset?
I would get a new battery to start with, if you UK, 7dayshop.com have an 1800mah for only. £4.49 delivered.

Thanks. I forgot to mention that I've just bought an Andida "2000"mAh battery from Mobilefun. It's only had a couple charging cycles but it's behaving exactly the same as the original battery, which confuses things!
It could be that the problem is effecting it our it's just not working at it's full potential yet.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Even the biggest best know battery manufactures cannot make a 2000mah battery to fit the S2 without needing a replacement back cover, the new Samsung 2000mah needs one.
So the Andida "2000"mAh battery , is more likely to be around 1500-1800mah
Yep, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is! Will probably return it and wait for the
official Samsung 2000 mAh.
Would still like to know what's going on with the sudden loss of battery life.

Since you have tried a second battery and the phone is acting the same way the fault must be with the phone, the charging socket is not loose or something?
Or maybe the phone charger is faulty, do you have a second to try?
It looks like you should try a reset before you seek refund/replacement.
Since Sunday my Aria has started heating up weirdly. When charging and while using, there is tremendous heating in the area right behind the optical touchpad.
Also the battery is not charging properly and discharging quickly.
I first thought it may be a battery problem, but wanted some genuine views regarding this.
Will changing my battery remove this issue? Has anyone faced anything similar?
There will always be heat around the touchpad whenever you are charging while using it. Happens to me all the time at least. Unless your battery exceeded 45 degrees Celsius, then that's abnormal.
You can track your battery stats for example, heat with apps in Market.
You said it discharges awfully quickly. Mind telling me, how long does it take for it to discharge from 100% to below 10%?
Really quickly.
For example, I charged the phone whole night from a wall charger, while switched off.
In the morning, I turn on the phone, it shows me 19% battery. I rebooted: 8%. Rebooted again: 2%. This all happened in about 5 minutes after taking the phone off the charger.
The phone used the 2% battery for about 15 minutes on standby, with no internet, before dying.
Now it does not even turn on. The battery is definitely gone, since it has bulged a bit. But I want to be sure before buying a new battery, if the new battery will face the same fate or not.
For now, I have given the phone to my brother who will test the battery in his phone. Let's see.
There's definitely a problem with the battery. It is advised you do not charge a faulty battery. It may damage your device or worse, explode depending on what the fault may be.

New battery should fix the problem. There's no reason to suspect that the phone is causing the problem.
I have an Atrix 4G running Neutrino 2.9 EE, with a new battery I bought only a few weeks ago because I thought my old battery was dying. But I'm having the same problem with this one. I can't get it to charge past 70% or so, and the charge seems to drain very quickly, about 1% every 15-20 minutes. I checked the battery usage, and Phone Idle is taking up around 60-70%. I've got wifi off, the screen turns off after one minute, and the brightness on half. I'm really at a loss as to what's causing this, so any help would be great.

Try to use all battery till your phone turn off, when charging again go to recovery and clean battery stats, rebbot and charge to full battery, see if your bar go to %100, i install battery widget and have an option for motorola phones, enable that option, that help me a lot,
Good luck!!!:fingers-crossed:

Battery drain issues, it seems, are as varied as "My car is making a noise that goes like this: ____"
Do you have the battery calibration app off the market? A full charge is 4200 mV (or really close to that value), regardless of what percentage your phone is displaying.
If your phone is getting up above 4100 mV, then the battery is fine. You can trick the phone back into displaying a more accurate percentage for a while, but it's not permanent:
- Charge the phone as high as it will go
- Shut the thing off and pull the battery
- Plug in the phone, wait for the question-mark icon to appear
- Re-insert the battery, let it sit for a few minutes (10? 20? no magical number here)
- Turn the phone back on. Percentage should be a lot closer to 100%.
If you're getting a decent charge but the battery is genuinely draining quickly, well... all I can offer is my experience from this summer. My major symptoms were:
- Losing an entire charge in the course of 8-9 hours, but ONLY when wifi/mobile data were turned on
- *Extreme* phone lag when wifi/mobile data turned on. Every single app would force close. Not fun at all.
- Checked what's using the battery, and "Contacts" was responsible for ~5% of the charge.
After six weeks of debugging hell, wiping, reflashing stock, etc I found out my contacts were nonstop-syncing (and duplicating, and duplicating, like rabbit offspring) on one particular email account. Killed the email account, got a functional phone back. Battery life returned to normal. All that to say, one misbehaving app (even a stock misbehaving app) can trash the phone's performance.
If you can stand it, try returning to something completely stock and not restoring any of your apps/data for a few days.
Phone is a ANS UL40 running 7.1.1
Battery will randomly go from partial charge to 0%.
This just started happening after having the phone about 6 months.
If I leave the phone unplugged overnight, it will be dead by morning (this is a new thing, it holds a charge pretty well). Doesn't have to be overnight either, could be just a half hour or something. The battery just dies randomly.
Even if I do have the phone plugged in and have the screen on (watching a youtube stream) it will randomly go to 0% and self shutdown.
Stock battery which seems to be stuck inside the phone. It doesn't seem to come out, I don't know if it's glued in or what.
ANS branded 3.8v 1700mAh 6.46Wh part # UL40BATT limited charge voltage: 4.35v

Its actually removable -
I have the same issue with mine and I just received it as a replacement phone about 3 months ago. If anyone has a clue as to what to do please share. Been to all the blog pages and customer pages related to this model and it seems to be a recurring issue and so is overheating and a dozen other things. What the point in having Lifeline when all the phones that they give or sell don't work.
And I thought it was just me. Needing a lifeline phone seems to mean we get the worst of the worst devices. I had to pay extra for the UL40 because the "free" phone was useless. The UL40 is near useless, and this battery issue makes it unreliable.
i have the UL40 and requested a replacement phone (because of unsustainable malware issues that survived a factory reset) and the L50 they sent me had this issue. i couldn't find a solution and had to request another replacement.
oddly, i occasionally experienced an apparent battery discharge (phone powers off, needs to be connected to power to boot up again) but when it powered back on the battery was at ~65%, clearly plenty of power.
my completely uneducated guess is that the battery terminals in some of these phones are loose, either causing the battery to discharge completely or simply disconnect momentarily, resulting in the phone losing power.
