Hello everyone
I have a z5 compact (E5803) with Stock ROM 7.1.1 (32.4.A.0.160). After two years last night my battery has 71% I enable flight mode and go to bed morning I checked battery it was 62% I shocked and worry about health battery. Does need replace battery? Or flash new ROM
Each charging cycle is worn on the battery, causing capacity to drop over time. Also, some apps can make the battery drop sometimes if they hang. Try rebooting the phone. I don't think a battery replacement is necessary, mine's over 2 years old and works good (recharge mine every 2-3 days or so).
Also, try cleaning the phones dalvik cache (requires root) and cache partition. This will make the phone more snappy most times, and may prevent battery drains from semi broken apps. I usually clean both davlik and cache partitions very 2-4 months.

Hi all,
I once asked why the battery life on my Hero was kinda bad (< 1 day with a full charge), and I did as was described in this post. I downloaded the Battery Calibration App, charged to 100% and pressed "calibrate battery", let it drain the next day , waited for phone to self-shutdown. Then I plugged it into the wall-charger. After a few minutes I switched the phone on again (while still connected to the charger), and immediately after it booted it said it had a battery percentage of 40%. Let it charge to 100%, and immediately when I started using the phone, the percents started to wear down again very quickly (>10% in an hour). Next day I booted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache and battery stats, but battery life still goes down pretty fast. Did something go wrong here? If so, what should I do to prolong the battery life?
When I go to settings -> about phone -> battery, the 2 things I see at the top most of the times are visualizing/screen or wifi. A typical day for phone use for me looks like playing a little game, browsing, using tweetdeck etc at times when I'm bored or texting, so I use it a fair amount of time each day. I just installed JuiceDefender, gonna see that that'll bring me.
I run Elelinux 7.1.0 latest version.

i have not used the app yet, but i advice you unistall the app and using root explorer go to the /data/system/ and delete the batterystats.bin file and restart the phone and let it drain down completely and recharge and you should be fine
First, I apologize for my bad English.
I very doubt with my battery life. e.g. Today, I had been using my phone about 9hrs before battery dropped to 1% and after a few minutes it grew up to 2% and after a few minutes it dropped to 1% and grew up to 2% again
e.g.2. I turned off my phone when it has about 50% battery and after I turned on the phone, my battery directly dropped to 13% and after a few minutes it grew up to 25% WITHOUT charging.
I tried to wipe battery stats in CWM recovery mode, delete batterystats.bin, pull of the battery for 2-3 minutes, use battery calibration app, change the ROM or kernel or modem and it still no change
I am using Criskelo Rom v34, Speedmod k18 kernel and XXKL1 modem, edge on, sync off
Yup, seen that as well.
Just quit messing with all those battery related things, charge it to 100% a few times and use it up a few times without flashing roms kernels and wiping stats etc.
It should be normal after that. Give it a week or 5-10 cycles or so.
Thanks, I will try it and come back to review : )
i also had this problem once. i just kept using my phone as normal and the problem fixed itself
I did a search and found similar threads, but it seems that my problem is slightly different.
I have been using different CM9 Roms over the past few months and they have all been pretty stable, and the battery life has been pretty good.
However, I was on a trip last weekend and all of a sudden, my phones battery went from 100% to 40% in a matter of hours with the phone screen completely off.
I tried flashing other ICS ROMs, installing the blue sleep fix to no avail (wiping in between each, even doing a fastboot wipe as well). Then I restored a nandroid I had of a CNA ROM where I knew I wasn't having any battery life problems, but the problem still persisted.
I installed better battery stats to see if I could get an idea of what could be wrong. For example, this morning, my phone was charged to 100%. I took it off the charger, and it literally sat on my end table for 2 hours. I didn't touch it. I then looked at it, and it was down to 80%. I went into better battery stats, and it said under the partial wakelocks that the longest wakelock was only a few seconds. I then looked at the processes, and it said that deep sleep was the dominant process at 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Obviously if the phone is in deep sleep it shouldn't be dying that quickly (I would assume). Is there anything that anyone knows might be wrong with my phone that it is killing the battery across all these different ROMs?
My only other option is to completely wipe the phone and sd-cards and install nottachtrix, since I was getting 2 - 3 days of battery life on that ROM.

Have you tried the app CPU spy on the cm9 ROM to see what's eating at the battery CPU wise and to see if your getting deep sleep?

I have an att galaxy s3 (d2att) that I got back in March 2013. Over the course of the year I have probably changed my rom about 20-30 times to get the perfect rom. Now my phone's screen time is about 1 hour while just letting it sit with the display on and not running any apps or touching it. Currently running the task650 rom with android 4.4.3. Wiping the battery stats file or running the calibration app does not work. There is no option in my recovery menu under advanced settings to wipe battery stats and a battery calibration app says the battery file does not exist. Sometimes the phone will turn off at about 30% and the reason I believe for that is that the voltage goes down so much. On time I checked it around 35-40% and it was at about 2.5V and then it shut down. When I charge it, it hovers around 3.9-4.3V but when I use it, it starts to go down like crazy. I don't know if I need a new battery or if I should completely factory reset my phone.
Any advice?

A bad battery can be really dangerous. It may have become like this because of bad use or overuse. I would recommend changing it asap

I don't see how flashing many ROMs could cause your battery life to drop. However the following issues are possible:
1) The ROM you are using has a bug that is causing some type of battery drain. These do happen.
2) You have charged and discharged your battery so many times that it cannot hold a charge anymore. I start noticing battery life decreasing after about 2 years of my usage (generally fairly low). Most times my battery life does not drop below 60% or so. If you very often let it drop very low, I can see the battery life decrease significantly after about a year.

Yea, I can only assume that because I have let it drop so low many times, I might have ruined the cells within. I might just end up buying a new battery. Thanks.
Greetings. The past month I've been getting wrong battery readings from my redmi 5(rosy, miui global 11.0.2 stable, android 8.1.0). It no longer charges to 100%, regardless if it's turned on or off, unless I unplug and replug the charger in which case it jumps immediately to 100%. There are massive percentage drops when idling( 20% drop in less than an hour), and the battery will drop all the way to 2% within 24hours. The battery life itself is no issue. I get consistently about 6-7 hours of screentime, and about 2 hours of that screentime the battery is stuck at 2%. I use the voltage readings from gsam monitor to know when the phone needs to charge, (3300mah battery, 4.3 max charge,3.45V minimum).
Attempting to repair the problem I've tried the following:
1) Allowed the phone to completely drain and shut down, left it to charge. No good. Stopped at 88%. I've attempted this multiple times to no effect.
2)Took the battery off the board and replugged it.
3) Bought a new battery altogether. Even replaced the usb board and the flex cable just to be sure.
4)Swapped the charger with one from a Redmi Note 5.
5) Rooted the phone, installed gsam battery monitor. Although I discovered various issues,the battery consumption is still negligible. Assuming I can trust the readings, 70% of battery life goes to the screen. 0ne thing worth noting however is the Android system process is constantly using the significant motion detector. I traced it back it the Google play services, but it doesn't allow me ,even with root access to turn off its use of sensors.
6) Deleted the batterystats.bin file from the system folder.
7) Enabled the battery saving feature and disabled synchronization.
8) Reset smartphone to factory settings.
9) Wiped data and cache from recovery.
10)Flashed a Pixel Experience custom rom.
11)Installed accubattery. It calculated a smaller battery capacity. However all the metrics and statistics were thrown out of whack as soon as the battery started freefalling from 40% to 2%(in idle).
12)Charged the phone from recovery mode(Orangefox). Still stuck at 87-88%.
The battery doesn't drain when the phone is turned off, but it still won't charge to 100% unless I replug the charger.
Also I forgot to mention but the phone is strictly used in airplane mode as secondary device so you can rule out cell standby drain from poor signal reception.
I'm thinking of flashing back the original rom but what are the odds of this being a rom related issue?
I'm currently testing it's full idle drain time. I won't use the device for at least 24 hours or wait until it's discharged completely.
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Thank you for your time.
