I had the same problem. found this suggestion googling and seems to be working.
clear the cache:
For anyone having problems with the new 4.4.2 kitkat update the solution is wiping device cache (i was on chat with htc support and they guarante that this process doesnt void warranty).
1. Disable fast boot in settings/battery
2. Shut down the device
3. Power up by holding power button and volume - button untill you see a white screen with 3 androind figures
4. With wolume buttons scroll down to recovery (i believe it is the 2. Option) and select it by pressing the power button
5. A screen with a phone and a ! Mark should appear after a while. When it does briefly press the power and volume up button at the same time until the screwn changes
6. Select wipe cache (last selection) with volume buttons and select it with the power button
7. After that select reboot system and that is it
It takes about 5 minutes and it fixed my issuses with decreased sound and battery life. The htc support operator said it has something to do with leftower files from the updating process.
Then reboot the phone and it will clear the files out.
I went from the battery dropping 15% per hour, warm phone, etc. to my phone holding its charge today.
I hope this works for ya (and keeps working for me)
I found this solution here: http://www.gsmarena.com/newscomm-8369p2.php
I thought it wasn't working until I rebooted the phone, and it gave a message about deleting the temp files and since then the charge has held very well.

Apologies if this has been asked already but I've searched for a good while.
Have a Samsung Galaxy S II for the past week. Once or twice while I was watching videos it would start to vibrate (while in silent mode) and I could only stop the vibrating by pressing the Home key. There were no incoming calls or messages that I could see.
The battery died 2 days ago after running down to 0% and since then the phone has been beeping more or less constantly when not on the charger. If it's on silent it will vibrate, if not on silent it will just beep away. Pressing the home key stops it but it starts up again a few minutes later. The battery indicator in the top right appears to be flashing with the little power icon as though it's a battery notification but there is no actual notification and there's nothing to say - battery level is about 95% or so when this starts I'd guess.
I've done 2 factory resets which haven't solved the problem and I installed a couple of custom battery apps to see if they'd take over the battery notification (assuming that's the problem) but that hasn't done anything. I also noticed that I can't seem to power the phone off anymore. If I turn it off, it just turns back on and waits at the phone unlock screen for me to enter my PIN.
Anyone experienced this before or know what might be causing it?

Hi,
I hope all of you are in Stock Kernel now.
Is it rooted?
If yes then please Go to CWM Recovery Mode and Go to Advanced and WIPR Dalvik Cache as well as Battery Stats...
Once this is done .. Reboot and check whether the problem is solved if not Try and use Stock ROM Battery Mod ..
I updated to Lollipop a several days ago through Kies. My battery life was not good so I did a factory reset. I reinstalled my apps and set up the phone the way I wanted it and it worked properly for a couple of days, still not happy with battery life. Yesterday I found that when I set the phone on the wireless charger the wireless charging notification came on lighting up the screen and the screen would not shut off. I googled it and all I find is to go to developer options and uncheck the stay awake which I have done, it was not checked so I checked and unchecked it same thing happens. I restarted the phone several times. I made sure Daydream is off. I uninstalled the last apps I installed. I tried to plug the wire into the phone to charge it same thing happens. I found that if I unlock the phone then set it on the charger it will time off ok, but if a notification comes in the screen lights up and does not shut down. I found that if I push the power button the screen goes off and stays off until a notification comes in and the screen lights up and stays on. My next step is to factory reset again but I wanted to see if anyone has another suggestion before I reset. Any help will be appreciated.
You may try wiping the cache. I'm assuming you didn't have this problem before the factory reset and not immediately after the factory reset. Now this is just a suggestion but I'd try this before I did a factory reset. I'm guessing you are not rooted and you are running stock so your recovery will be stock. To enter recovery power off your phone then while off hold the volume up, power, and home button at the same time. Hold and you'll see "Recovery Booting" in the upper left. You can let go of the buttons now. You should have stock recovery now booted up. Using the volume keys scroll down and pick "wipe cache partition" Use the power button to select. Once it's done and it won't take long. It will be on "Reboot" go ahead and select that. With any luck that may solve your problem.

You are correct that I did not have the problem before or after the factory reset and I am on stock and not rooted. I am trying your suggestions now and will report back thank you.
Thank you for the suggestions however it did not solve the problem, but after I wiped the cache I found that the T-Mobile My Account was staying in the notifications and showing that I was close to my 3GB high speed data. I turned off the notifications and now I have a normal working phone again that shuts off the screen when charging.

Glad to hear it. Yeah, I would have suggested shutting off those notifications just so they don't bother you. Anytime I want to know what T-Mobile has to say I just open up the app and look. I'm on wifi 90% of my time so I don't see using my quota anytime soon.
My sister updated her phone and somehow keep screen on while charging got enabled as well.
I had to enable developer settings (double tap build number 5 times) and uncheck keep screen on while charging.

Same thing happened to my wife's phone.
Little surprised to see this enabled on a pure stock device.
I have a rooted c8633 and factory reset it yesterday, then battery suddenly dropped from 30% to 0%.
1. After turning it on again, the power button wont work(cant screen on/ off) . But i can still use it to power on or force turn off the phone (power + volume up), so i assume its some software problems but i didnt install any apps i never use before.
2. The battery percentage seems not accurate, sometimes it drops fast but some times its very slow.
Could anyone please help with these problems? Thank you.
Sorry i cant capture any screen because my power button is not working.
badly need your help !
i will say whole info for my phone maybe you can help me to fix it!
after i install marshmallow 6.0.1 my phone it makes my phone very slow specially when the battery is low
every time it automatically reboot and sometimes the processor and system UI is not working
and then when i charge it after being fulled the phone will automatically restart again until it hits 98%
and now my phone is low battery it automatically shutdown i thought the reason of this is only low battery
but when i charge it after two hours the phone is still not turning on and i try to press the down button, up button , home button and power button but nothing happens then i try to go to download mode it works but when i press down button it shutdowns again and cannot turn on
i tried also flashing the same firmware but it gives fail now because it automatically cancelling the odin process and when i charge it now it only show the battery logo with electricity in the middle.

Flashing stock should fix the issue. Soumds like maybe hardware fault
Hi, I couldn't find anything about this issue here, on Dell forum there was discussion about it 2 years ago but it wasn't solved, but it seems that a lot of people face this issue and I'm honestly surprised no one talked about it here.
So I just bought this tablet, it's used but whatever, at 56% of the battery it shutdowns and there is no way to power it back on without connecting to the charger. Can't even access bootloader menu, it's just dead.
Has someone faced this issue and has any idea how to prevent this from happening? It renders the tablet unusable and I don't really want to pay the service for changing the battery if it's gonna do the same thing
Thanks
I got the same problem but no solution. The only thing I recognized, is that the tablet things it got 11.000 mAh instead of 5900 mAh. But why?

Found something:
Try the following and see if this resolves the problem. This is not a master reset so your information will not be deleted.
1. If your device is on, turn it off.
2. Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it .
3. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Recovery mode."
4. Press the Power button to start recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
5. Press & hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release Power.
6. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Wipe cache partition," and then press the Power button to select it.
7. Press the Volume down button until you highlight “Yes,” and then press the Power button to select it.
8. Wait until the cache is wiped. You’ll see the words, “Cache wipe complete.”
9. Press the Power button to restart your device.
