Help! Phone shuts down at intermediate battery levels - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

I have optimax v2.0 ROM along with kappa kernel v1.6 installed on my lww..
My phone battery went dead recently and then my phone shuts down when I have 11% or 12% battery remaining...
Sometimes the charging profile shows a immediate change..like suddenly 52% battery from 35% then 65% from 55%..:what:
I have tried wiping battery stats and all methods for recalibration..
The phone gets stuck at 76% charging..it shows AC power connected but 76% for half an hour
I usually overclock my phone @1.2 or 1.4GHz..could this be a reason for this...?..
My phone temp also remains a bit high I think around 40-50 deg C..is it bad..?
Please help me out guyz...I m goin mad..:banghead:
Thanks..

i have exactly a same prob...the battery calibration has messed up...u can do tgis method.
1.completely drain off the battery
2.enter cwm.and wipe the battery's stat.
3.turn off the phone(mostly our cwm doesn't hve turn off option..in my case..i just pull out the battery)and do a offline charging..leave it overnight.
4.turn on the phone(when green led came out)unplugged the charger..leave it about 20 minutes.it call a bump charging.plug it back..it should calibrated itself
i dont hve found a solid solution yet..but this method work for me..and dun want be responsible if any battery explode.phone disappearing..and any kind of self destruction activity..this is only my suggeation..xD
forget to mention you that this method dun 100% solve this prob..but its getting better from 16%>0% drop..and now 4%>0% drop..but its sometimes random...its been a week to finding a solid solution for this jerk..
i have to collect more information..this is not easy fix-like just wipe batterystats.bin and done..i hve read an article that wiping batterystats dun solve anything..(but i wiped batterystat too)..but it help a bit..
some prople says dis is not a big deal..but for me.its so annoying.:banghead:
i need u detail for me to make a conclusion and try to find a solid solution for dis prob.

1.how old ur battery/phone was.?
2did u heavily use the phone when it plugged-in.?

4how often did u flashing ROM/mod etc..
5.when u flash something,the phone plugged-in or discharging.?
6.did you always draining the battery until it's last blood.?
7.what is the average temperature of ur battery.?

Wiping battery stats has no effect.
1.Battery 1 year old
2.1-2 times a week
3.rarely..once in 2 weeks or so..
4.I used to flash frequently like 6-7 times a week..but for the past 2 months...I found a rom and kernel that suits me..
5.discharging i think..I flash using cwm not flashtool...
6.rarely..once in a 3 weeks..
7.should be around 35-40 deg C at times it touches
50 deg C,when I use it heavily..too many apps along with charging..
Btw the battery % is fine now,I stopped oc,now at stock speed..I drained it completely a few times and charged it without interruption..then problem disappeared..

battery is not charging well

hey guys :
I have an Xperia x10 and there is something strange about charging
first it used to charge completely in a matter of and hour and half
now it takes more than 5 hours and it stuck in the 80 zone .. I have to unpuge it few times but when it reaches 90 it charges in a matter of minutes
the thing is I am using a new ROM and it wasn't like that before
i wiped the battery stats and did everything
one more thing is it consumes battery when I use it while it,s charging ..strange ..
do you think my battery is finished ?
or it,s a software issue ?
hey
i think it is the rom problem wich rom r using.... when i had installed my first rom it was eating my battery like ICE-cream.....
anyway... you can change the governor used to Interactive.... this one gives the best battery life and performance.....
also you could install fxp125 cm7.2 i am using it since last 4 days and must say... my battery was didnt deop a single point during the night.... otherwise it does on any other rom or even the stock rom....
love it
hit thanks if i helped a LIL

When they die, they die. $10 off ebay got me an oem replacement. Heavy gaming I get a half day to full, depends on game. Regular usage gets almost 2 days worth. With the new one I try not to make it a habit to charge it while over 20% battery and regularly let it die out on its own and use fera's technique to keep it conditioned. Had the same battery for a year now.

Battery problems after fleshing custom rom

Hello. I got a lot of problems with my battery. It was all fine until i rooted and flsahed a custom rom. I flsahed jellybam and wiped cache data battrey stats and everything before. I get a lot of random shut downs and reboots and battery percentage drops. Sometimes its at for example 80% and i don't use it its in my pocket and it just shuts down. Or it sais it has 30% 40% and i receive a call or sms and it gets to 1% and shuts down and when i turn it on it has again 30 40% or slowly gets to that percentage. I tried aokp, jellybam, rainbow rom (something like that) rootbox and tried dorimanx and siyah kernel. Now i went back to stock rom and krenel but the problems are still there. I attached a pic of my batt stats so pls if anyone knows what could be the problem please help.
Edit: i tried calibrating the battery with an app and manualy shutting down the phone charging the phone to 100% and remove the battery a few minutes but that didn't change a thing

Nice picture, where is that? the Alps?
Sorry for the late reply i had some other stuff going around. I tried resetting the fuel gauge chip with extweeks while on siyah kernel and that didn't change anything, i tried a few more roms and kernels but the problem remains. Now i am on resurection remix 4.0.4 rom with flexy kernel and i tried reseting the fuel gauge chip with xxtweeks and again nothing changed. I guess this is a problem with the phone becouse with different roms/kernels the problem is the samo. Lately its getting worse. The phone is on the table with 80% battery and i just hear the low battery sound and when i unlock it its on 12%, and than goes to 5% and lower and shuts down. After restart it has again around the normal 80% for example. Also one day i charged it to 100% and as soon i unpluged the charger it dropped to 0% and shut down. Could it be the battery or is something seriously wrong with the phone? Thx in advance

Could be the battery.
Just try another battery from which you know it is working in your phone, and then try your 'faulty' battery in a phone from which you know it is working. This way you will know at least if it is the phone or the battery.
Thanks for thr replay. I guess i‘ll just buy a new battery and see how that goes because i don't have a spare s2 and battery to try

heeellllppp battery hot T_T

hey guys I really need help here :crying:
I will tell you guys from the veeerrryyyy begining
my phone is 2 years old (on my hand at least),and there is no problem untill about 3 days ago.
my ROM is GDX 029, have run it for months, no problem. but on that freaking day, when i charge my phone it takes 3 hours to make the LED light become green (battery level 90%++) when in normal condition only take about approx 1,5 hours. it seems very fishy, so i touched it, but it really is heated ( normally not ) and when i unplug the charger and left it to be cooled down for about 5 minutes the battery fell from 92% to 1%. I googled it and some people said that it was kernel, so I reflash the kernel and ROM, charged it once more and walla it heated again. no helping at all:crying::crying::crying:
i have flashed some other ROM and the original SE ROM but it doesnt help at all. can someone tell me how to fix it :crying::crying::crying::crying:
AW: heeellllppp battery hot T_T
Hi,
I would think your battery is dead. Try to get a new one from eBay...

Try offline charging & wiping batt status from recovery (directly go to recovery after offline charging) , may help

well, changing kernels and roms ( without undervolting and overclocking because that makes the phone unstable sooner or later or even the battery dies faster ) and calibrating battery, if it doesn't work for you then it really is RIP battery :S.

Strange Battery Issue

I have Micromax Canvas hd purchased 1 month ago.I m facing a serious trouble which service center also cant solve(as i have tred visiting it).When I charge my mobile to100% and when it reaches to 30%,my battery drains too quick till 12% without having any apps open.After 12% I tried charging till 35% but it drains normal till 0%.I have updated android from service center,changed battery also.They say that motherboard needs to be replaced(they havnt understood the problem yet properly).Is it firmware problem?
in which some files are corrupted due to which it is showing wrong battery stats.Beacuse I get normal battery life.I can use it for 1 day after normal usage.
After 87% of charging it jumps to 100% in 2 minutes.But if i charge only till 87% then i dont face drain problem from 30% to 12%.
Is this a motherboard issue?
Exact problem with my device too.... Please some experts suggest solutions on this.. Battery calibration dies not work...

Try a battery calibration it should work if not then try installing a custom ROM this will definitely solve your problem but in case you don't want a custom Rom try installing Pure performance and if you don't want to try even this one then try downloading a battery indicator app which will show correct readings. Generally this is just a problem with the software you'll get the complete 100% output but only the numbers out there are different. so it should not be a big problem.
Hit thanks if i've helped.

i hav tried battery calibration through various apps e1 manually deleting batterystatsbin file but none helped.Installed stock rom 4.1.2(v0.16)coz many people dont have problm with it(i knw personally 2-3 people) still none working 4 me.I will try custom rom but what is "pure perfomance" i wana try it b4 installing new rom.
Hey it happens to me as well. Battery calibration I am yet to try. The real reason I wanted to reply here is I have had a bad experience with Pure Performance MOD. Its just a zip file flashable through CWM. What it does is it makes ur phone faster than ever, however battery drains equally as fast. Before you try it, I really really really really suggest a backup through CWM.

Sir but it means you're facing few problems which many don't , yes few of them complain of such problems but there are also many who've experienced dramatic increase in battery backup.
Source: My personal experience
Before i installed this ROM, For example in night by 10.00 pm if the battery % was around 70 by morning it would be around 64-63 but now it is 69 or max 68 and i also see changes in benchmark tests etc etc.
I recommend you reflashing the Rom and would recommend it to others.
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
Pure performance is a Rom developed to increase the overall response of your device.It also boost battery backup etc etc Search about it in XDA.
I also having the same issue...
1st when it happens drain battery to 0%
Then charge it to 100% plus some more time....
It works perfectly till again 0%....
At least it works for me nd my friend....

@G. Ashwin Kumar
I don't really bother about benchmark scores. As far as system response time being faster using PPX, I go for an alternative.
Settings-> Developer options-> Lower the window and transition animation scale to .5x [Currently running X flare v2]
This is why it did not work out for me bro...

WTF??i have tried it many a times..Can u provide step by step instructions bro??btw which app?
I have had a similar issue with my o3d which seems more like a hardware problem because a re-flash seems to do nothing to help the issue nor does battery calibration. I am stuck at an almost constant 0% though so my issue may be different i do have a thread in the o3d forum about this. (although i do recommend calibattery app if stuck for a battery gauge even though it is not completely accurate but better than nothing). If under warranty i would just try to get a replacement.

last time i rooted my phone there was not a asingle problem
now battery 1% die in every 5 seconds
i tried battery calibiration
used wakelock to find apps then greenify them still hardly 40 min till my 100% goes to 0% and its new phone and battery was working well before rooting
last time root had no rpooblems
this time i installed SQlite installer for root guess thats reason but i cant delete its really imp app for me
Battery stuck on 14% a long time.
@Rohit.
What I did:
1. Download "Battery calibration" from playstore. (Developer- Nema)
2. Drained battery till 1%..
3. Charged the phone to a 100%. [Received 2 calls for approx 10 mins in total, for which I had to unplug the charger.]
4. Once battery was 100% I FIRST UNPLUGGED the charger and then clicked Battery Calibration.
The last step here is not what the app suggests in the instructions, I only realized it after I clicked Battery Calibration.
I hope this works for you too brother.
