Strange Battery Issue - Micromax A116

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.

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.

Worst case of battery draining on galaxy s2?

My galaxy s2 has had battery issues the day i got it.I was getting around 6-7 hours then, thought it was some issue with firmware checked the battery usage and everything seemed fine expect for few times the android os seemed a little high , so i installed a custom rom , tried sensation and villianrom and a few others .Villianrom seemed to help battery a little but few days in and battery is again draining like fuel in a f1.So i decided its nothing about the firmware and all , maybe i have a bad phone or battery cause its draining like 1% every 2 -3 mins while browsing or doing anything as a matter of fact i get about 4-5 or at best 6.5 hours but thqts rare.I mostly use wi-fi so it definitely uses less battery than 3g . So now my question is ... As i have rooted my phone do i get
The warranty assets as my phone is like 4 months old.I know about unrooting but will that do the trick ?
And btw apart from battery issues , which seem like i have a unique case , my experience with the phone has been amazing this is definetely the best phone on market ;-)
Please respond....and also share your experiences with battery backup of s2 .....thankyou. cheers B-)
*i forgot to add that another thing that i have been noticing is the high battery usage by the display , it sometimes is as high as 80% even on low brightness to which i have found no cure...no matter what i try it lowers sometimes to about 30% or more and is back again to higher, this has furthered my doubt that i have a faulty piece. Pls comment.

I'd say 1% every 2-3 minutes sounds about right if you have screen fairly bright.
Did you do a back up before installing custom rom?
If so install original rom back, then I think you need a usb jig, which is available from ebay. This will reset your custom binary counter so the warranty peeps won't know you've flashed a custom rom at some time.
I'm quite new to this so hopefully someone else may reply and correct me if wrong.

Display uses the largest amount its relative all the figures say is that of the battery percentage used display has used xx amount . Could be battery used 5% of that 5% display used 50% as little else was used .

on regular use, my batt wear off in a day or a day and a half, but when my kid play a HD game, the battery drained in just 3 hours.
I've only tried 2 custom roms, miui and criskelorom, and I think using criskelorom combine with neak kernel is my best so far
I used the trick of battery calibaration by ram3n and battery seems to hold up a little better. Betterbatterystats was really helpful as well as battery monitor and cpu spy . But still i guess yhe phone will suffer on heavy usage or even medim .

Xperia ray battery percentage frozen

I have strange issue with my battery notification on phone. I flashed this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480337 and was using it for like two days and everything was super smooth, responsive and so on but than I noticed that my battery percentage stays the same until I reboot the phone. I tried installing other roms and kernels, I even relocked the bootloader and went back to stock but no help. Please help guys..

switch off data,sync,wifi,bluetooth etc
Flash sirkays 6.1.1 ics kernel.In which you can use your phone for 2 days
Then flash hybrid rom(2.3)--I choose this rom coz it is lite and can run very smooth even in 800mhz
Then under clock your phone to 800mhz and use conservative governor

Thanks but I don’t think you understood me. Even though I do have battery problems concerning its life it is not the problem I am posting here for. The problem is that my phone is unable to measure battery percentage for some reason..

Nope, it's measuring correctly I think this problem is due to your kernel
Then measure your battery percent graph after u flash sirkays kernel and hybrid rom....

Charge your phone to 100% (421)and then calibrate it....IT SHOULD WORK
maybe reflash ics firmware or change battery or take it to repair center
Just restart your phone.
r
When I plug my charger percentage remains frozen so can’t see wen it is fully charged. And when I try to calibrate it just says 0% battery spent for example when calibrating web browsing... It is as if some battery sensor burned out or something. Could that be the case?

No it didn’t it just started couple of days ago.
The thing is that I can read my battery status via hard battery calibrator script which means that sensors are still operating. but I cant recharge my phone via usb and I cant reed my battery status on it (in status bar). Also my battery time is extremely poor - like 12 hours max on very little usage (about 8 hours of me sleeping included) or like 3-4 hours of heavy usage. Is there any one here with knowledge to help me? Thanks in advance

Hii
I m facing the same issue. After Upgrade to 4.2.1
Battery started giving dokha. Once reach 30% it drops to 10.
I m looking for the solution too.
May be battery calibration will be a solution but for that it asks for root access
Which I don't want what to do.?
Hey...this issue is there with 4.2.1 stock rom...not everyone must have noticed it though...but it does not effect the usability of the phone...though i agree its irritating...try to flash a custom rom & see if this issue exists for u...for me that worked...whatever works for u...battery calibration didnt help though
Possible fix for battery drain(30%-10%) rooted device.
Hey guys i used to have the same issue before, calibrating didnt work at first, flashing custom roms didnt do the trick either so in the end i finally snapped n tried calibrating the battery the other way round. I calibrated my battery when it reached a sufficiently low charge(did mine at 7%). I used rom toolbox(device must be rooted) which can be found in the play store, ull find the option in rom management > wipe options(DO NOT tick any other options other than wipe battery stats). Other battery calibration apps might work but it didnt for me. after wiping battery stats it will ask u to reboot. Reboot the device and let it charge to 100%. Then check if the drain is gone:good:!
hope this helps you guys!
Use at own risk. I will not be held responsible.
even im facing the same problem.Also after 87% of charging it jumps directly to 100% in 2 minutes.I have replaced the battery but still same issue.Service center repairers said that its motherboard problem but i dont think so.If I charge only till 85%, I dont face drain problem after 30% till 10%.but if i charge it till 100% den my battery drains in 2 minutes from 30% to12%
Ya dude . And the same is happening here too.....

Thanks for your suggestion.
I tried your solution and its not working for me
Battery Drain Issue - RESOLVE
I was having hell lot of Problem with Battery backup (using SamHD V3.2), tried using Calibration but didnt work.
Then I after searching/surfing the Internet, used a custom Method as mention below :
1. Charge your Phone to 100%
2. Download "ROM TOOLBOX Lite" from Play Store.
3. Go to ROM Management -- Wipe Option -- Click Wipe Battery Stats (DO NOT tick any other options other than wipe battery stats)
4. It will ask for Reboot, do it.
5. Then charge the phone to 100%
6. Calibrate the phone using Battery Calibration & then start using the phone.
Phew!!! it works now, I was mad behind this problem and now my life is kool...
Note : If this doesn't work then instead of point no. 1, please do the Point No. 2 at 5% or 10% battery status
PRESS THANKS, If I HELP YOU

Mega 5.8 - Battery dies within 5 minutes of reaching 20%

Hello all
I am using Mega 5.8 for 15 days now, everything is great. . Battery too is fine works for the whole day and some more but I find it strange that after reaching 20% the battery dies within minutes and phone shuts down. I thought that might be due to new battery but after 10+ recharge cycles this behavior have not changed.
Can anyone confirm that its a common thing with Mega 5.8 or there's some issue with my device.
Also while we are at it any idea when we might get 4.3 update for Mega?

Thanks for the heads up gx3k , but just to clarify i am not new to rooting . Have galaxy S2 which is full blown modified .
I downloaded battery calib app and deleted stats like 10 times...tried to manually delete the stats bin folder....but nothing has worked . I feel the culprit is the rom .
Haven't rooted the phone but don't believe this to be a calibration issue.
May be its firmware but how to confirm unless we get an update.

Same problem with me
Just try this . One you are in middle of your discharge like around 50% just remove the battery for 20 secs and put it back . You will see in battery you have already lost 10-12% of battery . I think this is the case of either wrong battery reporting or bad batteries. Just have to wait for a custom rom to cross check this .
GalaxyMega 5.8 battery life
Same thing here. Already tried calibration. Didn't help.
Was charging it. Removed it from the charger at 60%, I removed the battery and put it back in. The battery % then showed 74%.

Yes definitely there is a problem. Battery was at 31% then I removed battery and put it back. It dropped to 8%. had to connect it to charger.....
Have anybody tried the latest firmware for October if the battery issue is solved?

Very few users complain about this, maybe because there are only a few of us or it is not an issue as very seldom users remove the battery?
As for me when the level goes between 20-30% which is usually on the 3rd day I recharge the battery.

Hello all
I am using Mega 5.8 for 15 days now, everything is great. . Battery too is fine works for the whole day and some more but I find it strange that after reaching 20% the battery dies within minutes and phone shuts down. I thought that might be due to new battery but after 10+ recharge cycles this behavior have not changed.
Can anyone confirm that its a common thing with Mega 5.8 or there's some issue with my device.
Also while we are at it any idea when we might get 4.3 update for Mega?
Thankd

Dude Battery callibration could help you .. same condition was wid me .. i callibrated n now my battery is MEGA now
1.Root ur fone
2.drain your battery to zero
3.short all your battery terminals to make sure your battery is totally dead..
4.then charge your battery to 100%
5.n press CALLIBRATE from ur callibration software.
i will like to tell you that some processes drain ur battery very rapidly ,, i removed some apps n processes and now battery lasts,
so i will advise u too flash ur fone completly takin ur data backedUp..

Whatever you do "DO NOT SHORT YOUR BATTERY TERMINALS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE" That's a fire hazard. Lithium Ion batteries can generate massive heat very quickly and have been known to explode on occasions.
Practise good battery management by charging your battery whenever possible and keep it on charge for as long as you can. This will condition it to give maximum performance.
Remember you can't get a battery to give any more power than it has from the charge you give it.
Calibration does nothing to the battery it only allows the software to monitor more accurately.
Lithium Ion batteries should never be allowed to discharge below a preset level as they will then die and will not charge again
lol im about to create a thread about this issue, i thought its only me who experienced this issue,, i've encounter this problem as well,, everytime the battery reach the 15% or the low battery warning, it drains very fast from 15 to 1% it just like about 2 minutes then my phone shuts off due to very low battery level
oh yea,, try the *#0228# it shows the real battery %. in my experience,, from 40% battery suddenly drop to 18%. btw for the calibration apps from the playstore, it just delete your batterystats.bin which have no benefit at all. anyone who encounter this problem please share your experience
I installed Battery Notifier and adjusted the low battery alarm at 25% . It is just a workaround but it serves the purpose.

okay our issue is NOT about BATTERY LIFE, but about BATTERY PERCENTAGE,, DUDE.
in this review the reviewer encounter the same issue like us
"A couple of times we experienced a sharp dip in battery life when the levels went below 20 percent"

Hardware or software I don't really know.
As I use the mega 5.8 as my daily phone I see to it that I dont go below 20%. And evry other day or a maximum of 3 days I always recharge my phone. Perhaps other users have a similar routine so very few if any, complain about the issue on this thread.

yea, i think thats why only few people who noticed this issue, they rarely use their phone below 20%. btw i just post a new thread in samsung developers forum, dont know where to report this issue so i post it there lol
i've try calibrating the battery, no differrnce at all. oh man , i wish samsung realized this issue

Worst battery life!!!

I have tried several ROMS, MIUI, stock 4.1, 4.2, Samsung and xperia mods.
None of the ROM provides better battery life, which mean there is some problem with the kernel and Mediatek libraries.
Usually phone is @ 60 % before i go to sleep and in approx 8 hours battery drains to 30, Data, GPS, Sync are switched off, no apps running, there is a continuous 4-7% drop in battery percentage.
Worse is when i play ingress on my phone battery drops by 40% / h, i have an app BatteryDrain which tells the approx hourly drain.
Are you all facing similar issue. can you guys please share the screen shot of battery drain.
Okay.... I will give u the solutions in increasing order of intensity..
1)check auto brightness off
2) go to settings and check battery statistics.... Force stop / Uninstaller any app if it consumes to much battery
5)go to developer settings and click on don't keep activities.. Also delete battery stats in Cwm recovery ( not responsible for Wierd stuff which might happen)
4) install greenify , and hibernate apps....
6) install juice defender ( my battery life is doubled )
7) flash pure performance(look in general section) remember to backup. ( not responsible for damage)
7) take the backup of ur rom and reflash stock 4.2.1 ( not responsible for damage)
8) it might be something wrong with ur battery... So go buy another genuine CHD battery or steal it from ur friend
9) Go to service centre and show them how bad the device battery is.... If u have Warrenty ur in luck

Yes I have the same issue what do u have Now, as soon as my battery reaches to 30% my phone gets switched off,
I have tried all ROM but having same issue,
I have flashed Stock 4.2.1 ROM of My phone 919 but same issue,
So what I did I have just replaced my battery with one my friend who is having same Canvas CHD phone, Now I don't have any Battery issue.
And strange thing is My OLD battery is working very good on my friends Mobile,
So he is also not having any battery issue
He is on SamHD and I am on Stock 4.2.1 ROM
So my advice is,
Just try to use On stock ROM for few days you will back to Good Battery Life

You should flash pure perfomance and also try pimp my rom both of them are available in the general selection(remember to take backup). These tweaks will increase your device's perfomance and also increase the battery life.. It helped in my case
Thank you for replying, for now I have installed juice defender and greenify, will share the results.

Thank you have installed greenify and Juice defender, later will try pure performance and last option would be to buy new battery.
Cant i buy battery from different manufacturer instead of Micromax? Like ERD, MAXX.

Yup... Do share the results.....
And as far as the battery is concerned.... Go for a genuine mmx battery.....But I won't go as far as to forbid u buying other company stuff.......

I have one better option. instead of buying new battery u should go for battery banks. I just bought nokia battery bank worth 1150 bucks and the benifit is it is not phone specific and will charge battery quickly as it has more mah than normal charger.

I note that you have tried several ROMs. but have you ever tried calibrating your battery at least once after flashing any of those things?!. If not I suggest you calibrate your battery properly and then give your comments.

EDIT: btw, don't use that pure performance mod. it causes issues. you won't need it anyway.
