I did some searches here on XDA and on Google, but not sure if it's the same problem as other people had.
My phone, Xperia Mini with CyanogenMod 10 nightly ROM, some times randomly shuts off, and wouldn't turn on until I remove and insert back the battery, after which I can see that it instantly drained quite a chunk of the battery.
The main suggestion is that the battery is bad, but this phone is a month old, so I would assume my battery should be fine.
I attached the battery graph.
You can also see that the mobile network signal keeps dropping off, but I have no idea if that's related. I can talk to people also when I supposedly don't have reception...
Thanks.

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...
last night i had my tbolt charging. the phone was off while charging, and it was left plugged in for a few hours beyond the led changing over to green.
after i unplugged the phone and went to turn it on, well... it wouldn't turn on. i did feel the initial vibrate i always get right before the htc screen comes on, however, the screen never came on. i ended up having to pop the battery out and then after putting it back in the phone booted normally.
however, now it seems as though my battery is draining way faster than it has been. i've had the phone a few weeks and the battery has been properly conditioned. after taking it off the charger at approx 2:00am this morning, a mere 10 hours later (whilst completely in standby for the entire time) it's already down to 83%.
what gives? could this just be an accuracy issue with the reported levels? i've read about fully charging and booting in to recovery to reset battery stats. or is it a far worse issue and something has happened to my phone that's damaged the battery in some way?
btw, i'm rooted and running das bamf remix 1.7 with imoseyon's leankernel (running in normal mode with swap enabled).
just a quick update:
after some moderate use (texting, web browsing, downloaded a few market apps) the battery continues to drop much faster than it ever did before. i'm using wifi at the moment.
Have you cleared battery stats lately?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
no, but i'm going to do just that tomorrow after work when i have a chance to fully charge the phone.
one other thing i just realized that may be contributing to the problem though... my g/f was playing around with my phone and she signed into latitude. doh!
Hello, I've started having some weird battery issues with my HTC One X+, wonder if anybody else has seen this before. I've attached a screenshot of the battery graph for my phone, so you can see what I've been encountering.
It all started two days ago, when my phone charged down and shut off, despite being idle and connected to my laptop for USB charging the whole time. Since then, I've been seeing all kinds of wacky behavior with the battery stats. The status has been stuck on "11M 19S ON BATTERY" for the last three days. It discharges really fast even when idle, which it wasn't doing before. Last night, the battery chart shows the phone either being awake or with the screen on, but it is wrong: the phone was turned off.
I turned it off almost all of today, turning it on maybe 2-3 times just to check the charge and then immediately turning it off, and connected it to AC charging the whole time, but the battery charge seems to go up and down during that period! At this point, my battery stats seem completely corrupted, except for the fact that the phone does shut itself off when the charge goes to zero, so the total charge may be correct.
I'm not sure if this is a software issue or hardware, as I seem to be getting strange data from the software. I looked at many of the battery threads in this forum: they say to charge the phone to green and discharge a couple times, but I cannot get it to go to green again, even with the phone turned off and AC charging! I should still be covered by the 1-year manufacturer warranty: do I need to send it in for repair or this is some known software issue that I can fix myself? I'm running stock unrooted Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 on the international unlocked HOX+.

I thought I'd update with the latest. After a couple days of freaky battery behavior, I was finally able to get the HOX+ fully charged again, after which the problems went away, still no idea what caused it in the first place. I wanted to make sure it really went away before posting: it hasn't recurred in the weeks since.
I fell asleep last night with a podcast playing on my HOX+ at the lowest volume setting and held next to my ear, woke up this morning with only 50% battery used after 12 hours of almost continuous mp3 playback. I've always been impressed with how little battery this device uses while playing mp3s, still going strong. :victory:
Sigh, spoke too soon, it's constantly discharging again, no rhyme or reason why, and the charger can't keep up. The weirdest part as always is that it can't even recharge while turned off, implying there's a short circuit or something else wrong with the hardware. I'll see if I can get it to charge eventually, may have to turn it over to HTC this time.
I've looked through this forum, but the Only thing I have seen are normal battery drain issues. Mine is not.
I'd like to point out that my Galaxy S3 is the 16Gt non-4G unlocked "Nordic" or European version, and I haven't rooted it.
The problem is that whenever I'm out playing Ingress, and it's chilly outside (0 degrees celsius) the battery seems to drain really fast. I thought it was just because Ingress uses both GPS and internet, and that the screen is on all the time.
I use the phone until it shuts down because of battery. Then I'd plug the phone to the charger in the car, wait for 30sec, and after the screen has fully lit up(I have not yet turned it on) the graphic says the battery is over 50%. So then I turn it on, And the battery is @58%. I unplug it and continue playing. The battery drains real fast again. Then it shuts down. I repeat the above process, and after turning it on the battery is @54%.
Also, sometimes during this battery drain, @10% or so, the phone disconnects from the network. It is disconnected until the battery is at about 2%, then it regains the network connection for the short while it is still on.
I have GSAM battery monitor installed, and it drew a nice graph. I couldn't take a screenshot of it because GS3's screenshot taking is a pain in the arse and I just couldnt do it. But the Graph showed the battery draining from 60%->0% in ½h, then it suddenly started from 58% and drained to 0% in another ½h.
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so, have you solved it and how?
The phone was 4.1.2 until I updated it to 4.3 recently, and the problem was on both versions.

Are you rooted? Then you can try wiping battery stats...that might help...
(<---Remember to Thank me if this helped)

Replace your battery.
This is clearly not a problem of the battery, as it does retain it's charge. The phone just doesn't know it until it's connected to a charger. Hence magical 1s charge-ups.
Hi I'm having a really weird issues with my e970. It runs fines and I've checked the battery status with the *#*# code which says health is good. I've tried two different roms and I end up with the issue. My phone charges fine then will I'm using it it completely turns off. No warnings or anything. I plug it in and it says zero percent. I checked it a minute later and it goes up to 20 percent. Even on twrp or from the charging screen I get random percentages. Is it the battery or something else?
Thanks
