Hi, I got a very annoying problem.
Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.
Oh, something else, it only happens when the phone's used with the battery, when it's attached to my laptop and used as modem, the problem doesn't appear.
I had the same problem, it said android system shutting down. I just bought new battery and it works.

I think, it's the most logical option, but I was trying to get some feedback first. Thanks.
Maybe calibrating the battery.

go back to stock and see if it helps! try to troubleshoot the problem! Also, don't install any apps!
There are instructions on how to calibrate your battery in the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489214&highlight=calibrate+battery
If the problem is the battery, you might find that after calibration that the battery drains faster than expected, and still shuts down, only this time it warns you that it's gonna shut down. This would then be the true battery drain. If that is the case, you might just need to buy a new one anaway.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing those symptoms. (Other than an electrical fault, from accumulated damp or something)

thanks so much..............
What happens it's that the phone shuts down suddenly, the message appears for a seconds and it's off. Wait for a few seconds, try to turning on again and sometimes works for some minutes, and sometimes it's keeping turning off, and off, and off. But, the battery level seems to be correct, I mean, when I turn on the phone after one of these sudden shutdowns, only drains the logical ammount of battery for starting use the phone.
I think... if the problem never appears when it's attached to the laptop and charging constantly, and magically appears when I used the phone with the battery, it's probably just a battery issue, right?
I have a similar problem to this, my phone randomly shuts down after showing the 'Android System shutting down' message but sometimes loses ALOT of battery. Last night it went from 78% to 8% after shutting down :/ I noticed it happened more often when im playing games or taking a video, things that take up more battery. When i keep it plugged in it keeps awake so the problem stops but i cant keep it in all day every day. I dont really want to buy a new battery until i really really have to, but I have had the phone and battery since the x10 first came out about 2 years ago, so anyone any other ideas? Thanks

Try wiping battery stats then charge to 100% (it may help, not sure)

Yeah tried that but it didnt seem to work :/
could it be hardware problem like broke battery or bad connection on motherboard?
Could be pal are u within your warranty (sony (Ericsson) it has a 2 year global warranty but u need to ring ur network provider and ask them to put u through to se
Sent from my X10S using XDA
Yeah this happened to me before about 6 months ago, so i went to my provider (3) and they sent it away to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a whole new phone but I didnt want to do that again really, but i may have to. When im not using WiFi or 3G then it works fine, and when its plugged in to the charger it works so i guess its a case of not usuing the internet when im not near a charger
I have the same problem.
My X10 reboot random when using 3G (Wifi is still OK) and Gaming. Now i'm on Stock 2.3 and stock kernel and....wait. (Flash some ROM and change the new battery....but not solved )
Anyone help us !!! Plizzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe your solution
I had the same problem sometimes with original kernel after 1 year of using my phone.
Then i tried to install a new rom, and i was thinking the problem was solved. But it was not...
I finished by trying the X10S (v7) rom with DoomLord kernel (1113mhz) and this problem was solved...
I tried some kernels and this one was stable with a good battery life and no shutdown problem. With some other kernels i had this problem back.
So I think that kernel could be the problem.
Infortunately, with the rom X10S v8, Doomlord kernel cause issues with wifi (unable to get ip adress). So now i use kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1 and no shutdown problem anymore.
*Maybe the solution is*
Try to change your kernel with one of thoose :
- kCernel here (in "2. kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1")
- DoomLord (search fo x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip)
Note :
- With this two kernels, you'll have to download appropriate wifi patch and install it from SDcard via xRecovery
- don't try to install X10S v8 if your bootloader is locked
So, try to flash your X10 using flashtool with Doomlord kernel
Tell us if it worked, i hope it solved your problem as it do it for me.
voltage
Hi,
I have had this issue too, for the last few months. No matter what ROM/Kernel, batt stats cleared, etc, still the same. Can idle all day, but as soon as I use 3G, GPS, or use any intensive app, she shuts down.
As an experiment I installed a battery monitor that plots graphs of % charge, temp, voltage, etc over time.
I had a close look at my logged graphs and have noticed that just before each reboot, the voltage seems to dip drastically. Battery charge is fine, does not seem to matter. but a sharp drop in voltage occurs. Increased draw for the more complex tasks (3G, GPS, etc) seems to be tripping it up.
As the Battery is now 2 years old, I figured it is just starting to fail? And iv noticed lots of people are suddenly coming out and complaining about this issue.
I just ordered a few new Batteries from 'Ebay', will see how we go!...
peace.
[INFO / SOLUTION] Suddenly shuts off with red LED.
Good to know:
The X10i/a have now reached an age, where battery failures is very common nowadays. Specially if one got the device early on or just after the launch.
Symptoms of a failing battery:
* Device suddenly shuts off, even when the battery have several percent remaining.
* Device drains fast, even when not used.
* Device might just shut off for no whatsoever reason when doing something that draws a lot of power, and will restart just fine.
* Device has a surprisingly fast charge time from empty to full.
When the device shuts off all of a sudden, it's followed by the indicator LED blinking red, rapidly three times, and might repeat this at restart attempts.
Sometimes it takes several tries before the device starts up again. Battery just needed a few minutes/an hour of "rest".
There's nothing wrong with the device.
Just get a fresh replacement battery and it'll work just fine again.
But beware:
There are many fake batteries out on the market, claiming that they have higher capacity, yet very slim in size.
There's a simple rule when it comes to battery capacity:
More capacity = larger in size, which might need a special back-cover. There's no escape from that.
If one would happen to find a such incredible slim battery with super capacity, the battery security circuits and/or chemical makeup probably have been circumvented/changed, and have a high risk of catching fire and/or explode when charging/discharging.
Yeah thanks for all the advice and sharing your problems. My phone does reboot alot when im using 3G or taking a video. Recently my battery would reboot, drop alot of percentage and then increase percentage without charging...magic I dont really want to buy a new battery because my new contract starts in june i think, but maybe il have to. Good luck for everyone else dolving there problems
Also, [email protected], i am on doom kernel and i still get reboots :/

I've too had the same problem. solved it by replacing battery
Now everything's alright
I'm running dixperia rom with stock kernel
EDIT: but now I have a small problem. Hope someone can solve it. Sometimes, suddenly, the hardware keys light and backlight turns on, without doing any thing and this drains my battery I have to turn on the screen and turn it off back to switch off that backlight and hw keys light

I've got a bit of a problem with my Xperia Ray and despite hours of googling I still can't find a solution so I thought I'd see if you guys could help
Had it for about 6 months now and it worked great up until a couple of weeks ago when suddenly the battery life got way shorter, like I used to be able to get close to 3 days if I didn't do anything but sending messages and using some basic apps and even with pretty heavy use it still lasted well over a day.
Recently though it lasts under 20 hours with absolutely no usage, when I leave the phone overnight it loses about 40% charge when previously the use was under 10 for the same time period and even if its turned off it loses charge at a similar rate.
The other problem that started around the same time was that whenever the phone turns off from lack of charge or I take out the battery the date resets to 6 January 1980 and the phone seems unable to automatically correct it. Previously my phone was able to retain the date even after the battery had run down completly.
The only thing I can think of that changed before the problems started was that I used a solar powered usb charger for a few days because I was tramping but I have no idea what that could have gone wrong or how I could fix it.
I've tried a full factory reset, upgraded the android software to 4.0.4 and used various battery apps to try to find anything that might be using all my battery with no success.
Its driving me crazy so any help would be great.
Also here's a picture of a recent day of usage (not enough posts to embed it properly sorry), except for a short run I didn't use the phone for anything

Could be a lot of things. If the solar powered charger made your phone really hot while charging then the battery might be permanently damaged and you should try a different battery. It could also be that your power meter has gone wonky and this can be reset by charging the phone to 100% and then removing the battery and the usb cable from the phone for 10 minutes. Return the battery to the phone and charge it back up to 100%. Usually, when I experience something like this, it is some app that is draining the battery. Since you have just been trekking, maybe it is google maps. If it is tracking/updating you location, it will drain your battery really fast. You should be able to see this, just by going to system settings->battery. Stand by or Display are usually the big battery hogs.

Thanks for the replys everyone!
I don't know anyone with a ray battery but I can buy a new one relatively cheap so I'll do that and see how it goes
I'll post results in a few days
Well I got a new battery yesterday as suggested and tried it out from full charge but unfortunately there was no change in the battery life, it still ran all the way down in less than 20 hours with minimal use
Begining to wonder if its a hardware fault within the phone itself
Hey all, I'm a frequent noob to this site always asking for help because I always seem to mess up my phone in some way... So my phone was fine, then I started to notice the battery was always displaying the wrong charge. I would put the phone to charge and it would charge too 100% and when I disconnect it then it would display 60% or 90% that was just the beginning of my troubles. Now the phone sometimes has 30%+ more or less and the screen starts to flicker and lose lighting, then the phone gets really slow and ends up freezing. I go to turn my phone on and it doesn't even turn on... I leave it charging about an hour to see if that helps and when I turn it back on it says it is at 10% or so and then the same thing happens minuets later. Also at times it wouldn't even let me charge the phone it would say battery disconnected, this is the main reason why I did a fresh and clean install of a new ROM. I know it isn't my cable because I tried 4 different cables I have a few of my friends. I am running 4.1.2 with Siyah 6.0 I recent did a clean wipe of the phone to try to fix the issue and I had some issues with the new ROM. It kept saying com.android.phone has stopped blah blah blah so I downloaded a new ROM and it went fine I guess, then I uses Titanium Backup to restore all my apps and system data, then the com.android.phone message started popping up again... So I do a fresh clean install ONCE AGAIN and it works fine, I install just the apps+data no system data this time and it is still working fine. Also I moved all my apps to my SD card, when I reboot my phone it starts really slow and says loading instead of the name of the apps, also it takes about 5 minuets for the phone to work normally, at the start it is really slow and barely does anything, is that normal? I am using Lookout Security as my anti-virus. Also I use GO Launcher, is that fine or could that be an issue? ALSO I use ZDbox for an applock a cache cleaner and to kill tasks when I want to save battery life. I'm a real idiot when it comes to these things any help at all would be great, thanks.
P.S. As I am typing this my phone froze at 30% and when I reset it the number showed 14% and it has been charging ever since and is at 17% so the charging seems to be working fine for now, but not always and it loses battery life FAST, thanks for anyone who can help and give tips / answers.

No need for your life story. Might be a battery issue, might be the USB port/board. Try one, then t'other.
I had exactly the same problem. Literally, exactly the same.
I bought a new battery. Problem solved.

For the battery issue, you can try to charge your phone completely when it reaches 15-20% (just think to shut it down before) to 100% (and let it charge 1 or 2 hours after 100%). Try this several times to recalibrate your battery. If it doesn't work I think you could buy a new battery.
How long have you got this battery? Just to let you know, a battery can be "dying" after roughly 500 charging.

I'm pretty sure it is the battery then because it is 2 years old LOL I have the same battery from when I bought it back in 2011, also I have 2 anker batteries which are a little over a year old so I'll buy a new one when I get a chance, probably a huge extended battery, I've always wanted one of those that last 3 days LOL thanks for the help guys.
I got an LG G5 2 weeks ago and the battery has been outrageously bad. I bought it used and the owned has owned it for 2 to 3 months. There is very little standby drain and the phone is cold to the touch within minutes. Overnight drain is around 10 to 12 percent with always on display which is normal considering the 1 percent per hour loss plus the normal overnight drain. However when I turn the screen on the screen on time is very poor only about 2.5 hrs to 3 hours. The screen brightness is set 20 to 40 percent no auto brightness. There appears to be nothing draining the battery with the screen being the biggest battery draining. I have location nfc Bluetooth and LTE turned off. Along with touch sounds and touch vibration but toggling these settings makes no difference. Its impossible to find out more because I have no root. If this battery continues to be this poor I'm going to be selling it because I cannot stand having to charge twice a day even with quickcharge 3.0 old xiaomi redmi note 3 lasted 2 to 3 times longer on the battery. Any ideas what could be eating my battery?
Hi
I get 4 to 5 hours screen on time and I use my brightness at 75% to 100%, never as low as 20-40% it's too dark.
What apps do you use when you do have the screen on? Maps and games will drop you to 2-3 hours screen on time like all phones, but normal apps (excluding snapchat) will give you 4-5 SOT.
I would turn off always on display, you won't miss it.
Eeeeh , your Android system and android Os are high , screen should consumpt most of the battery about 30-40% mine does 34% with 35% brightness and Phone idle 22% my android system at 9% android Os 6% , if you dont game you get nearly 1 day life from your battery but if you do you need 2-3 timers charging per day , also if you use Data it just sucks the battery like vacum. So there is a drain in your system but its true lg g5 consumps a lot in order to give you performance in priority and not power saving. Dont forget G5s are the only high range phone that you can swip your battery with no deal , they are giving you that feature , Use it!!! You can grab up to 3600mah (2800 stock) extended capacity battery with a wall charger from ebay really cheap and never again have a battery problem. Also this batterys are lithium ones , i saw in your pic 10% i suggest not to go below 20% you are killing really fast lithium batterys if you decharge them!!!

Always on display barely drains any battery. I use apps such as facebook, text messaging, messenger, instagram, chrome, etc. I rarely play games because the second I open a game the battery life is only about 1.5 hours sot.
Well Facebook and messenger should be a couple of alarm bells when talking about battery life surely? Also, you bought it second hand, you have no idea how the previous owner treated the battery in the time they had it no matter how short a period it was.

Hello friends
I have a problem with battery and also unable to turn on the WiFi after update.
I just bought my brand new G5 H860 TWN and updated it, which cause the whole device to malfunction.
please correct me if I'm mistaken. An update is meant to improve the functionality of a device not to destroy it.
Apart from this problem the interesting thing is that non of the LG customer cares know whats causing the problem,
A word of advice to LG. Please Do not make something that you don't know **** about.
yours sincerely
have nice day.

Thanks for your advise my friend, factory resetting the device was the first thing i did, but i did not solve the issue.
i have tried the following:
-Flash other ROMs from different countries for H860
-booted the device into safe mode and tried to enable the WiFi and etc.
my WiFi MAC is set to 02:00:00:00:00:00 and it means that WiFi has not been detected by android. Also the Bluetooth address is defined as "unavailable".
and the worst of all is its battery drain issue which kill my battery within 5 hours in standby mode, while i can not notice any abnormal battery consumption in "BATTERY USE DETAILS" section in Battery usage setting. this probably means that some other consumer(perhaps the WiFi) uses the battery without being listed.

H860? H860 haven't got root nor custom ROM yet. Bootloader of H860's still locked.
I've got a brand new LG G5 which I have been using since Thursday and I honestly can say it sucks big time compared to my 2 year old Z3 which can easily get me 4 hrs SoD on mixed usage. Using the exact same set up of apps, location and wifi/mobile use, I am struggling to see more than 2.5hrs SoD with the G5. Honestly, it just drains battery like no tomorrow and this is fresh battery... I dread to think what it will be like in 2 years. Sony made a lot of mistakes but the Z3 really excelled...
Hello.
I'm just wondering if anyone know how the Estimated Battery life function in the battery-menu works on the Mate 20 Pro. When I compare my phone vs my girlfriends I have a much lower expected battery life compared to her, with approximately the same usage and settings on both Mate 20s.
If I remember from the top of my head, I get an average of 50 hours expected at the Ultra Powersaver Settings, compared to her phone which is expected at over 200 hours when fully charged. I'm currently running the .153 update, she's still at the previous update and is getting significantly better batterylife than my device.
I've tried rebooting and clearing cache from the Recovery Menu, monitoring the apps from Settings>Battery where everything seems normal, changed resolution to Smart Resolution and 'Optimizing' the phone through the batterymenu.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Same problem here, since I installed the 153 update I have sudden battery drain bursts while the phone is idle. Battery will go from 60-80% to 0% in less than an hour.
It's happened twice during the last days: once while I was sleeping (so no phone activity caused by myself) and just right now. I've also cleared app cache, but it hasn't solved anything.
In the Settings->Battery->Usage it reports that "Phone" is draining the battery (no calls were made during that period). No other app has a high battery usage.
Is this a known bug that has been fixed in future updates?
Hi,
I have also experienced the same problem after I installed the .153 update. Battery drain is very noticable and I have factory reset/cleared the system cache but there is no difference. Huawei support have told me the battery may be faulty and so I will need to send it off for repair but i now think it is possibly a fault in the update.
Not sure what to do ?
I have .153 version and everything is working perfectly.
Try to clean cache and use it for a few days for the battery AI to settle in. That's what I usually do after a minor update. If the update is big, I would backup and do clean cache and factory reset together. BTW, after 171 update, I had experienced 3% per hour standby battery drain. But after factory reset, it's down to 0.4% per hour. Quite impressive.

Hey what are you using to backup? Using Huawei it wants to put it on hisuite via laptop since I don't have external nano SD. Is this what you used? Thanks
I use a USB type C OTG Stick with a Micro SD card inserted. Alternatively, you can also use any USB stick with a type C OTG cable. Using Hisuite via laptop should also be easy and reliable.
Coming from a 6T i have been dissapointed with the battery on mate 20 pro , everyone has hyped this phone on battery life . first it dont seems to idle drain not as good as 6T will give it a couple of cycles but at the moment looks like selling this and going back to 6T
Best battery life ever, use it all day, tons of surfing, taking many pics, listen to FLACS on my Sony wh1000xm2 and hardly ever end the day below 60%. Am on 153.
I did hear that staring at your screen and settings all day long is bad for your battery. Just saying...

I have both and I will say that 6T battery is very impressive but I am seeing similar batt life on mate 20 pro. Easily get 2 days with light to moderate use. Your milage may vary.
Have Had the same problem when i got the phone recently , setup my accounts and apps then got two updates in the same day 153 and 171 , the battery is good not bad but i just feel its not like everyone is saying i can get a more than a full day usage out of it but i just have to turn off everything except for wifi and 4g , disabling raise to wake and stay connected while in sleep specifically helped the battery life a lot but i still think it drains too much specially in standby where i can lose over 10% overnight and when browsing chrome over 4g (simple surfing not streaming)
i will try to backup and do a factory reset and see what happens.
BTW this my usage from yesterday ,not bad but this is with bluetooth off , mostly on wifi , raise to wake off , turn off data when the phone sleep on , location off , auto rotation off, manage apps manually only a handful are allowed in background , only autosync for gmail on and screen brightness barely above 50% mostly 30% or something

I was in the same situation when updating from 171 to 182, where the battery barely lasted 4 hours SOT, yesterday I did the factory reset and charged my phone to 100% I unplugged it at 9:30 AM and just plugged it in again today at 1:40PM, managed to get 8hours SOT with plenty usage, mails, spotify, netflix (via chromecast) and youtube overnight to sleep, bluetooth ang 4g on all time (most of the surfing was on wifi which is also always on) no need to turn off the location or something, auto brightness and QHD+ resolution
unfurtunately I was so excited that i forgot to take screenshots before plugging the phone, but I'm pretty sure that the factory reset + cache wipe definitely helped
i dont know man, have tried factory reset yesterday unplugged today at 10am didnt turn off anything left resolution at smart, i only disabled raise to wake because i dont like it, all apps managed automatically couple of uber rides, 90 mins of calls , surfing mostly on wifi , remote desktop, no streaming videos or music its now 11.30 iam at 49% with 2.5h sot, i think its improved but still wont reach that 8h sot unlesss i turn off more things like before still i think the vattery is great but not behaving like a 4200mah one seems like the screen specially and standby power consumptio is high, btw do you have the lg or boe scren because i saw people reporting worsr battery life after replacing their green lg screens with boe, o have the boe one maybe its the culprit.

I have a BOE screen, I havent used the phone that much today but performance and usage is basically the same, mostly because I use this as my "everything" phone both personal and job, I would recommend taking it to warranty if you can because if the factory reset + cache clear didnt worked I'm not sure what that could be as the device is still very new to have a considerable battery wear
i dont think its that bad to take it to warranty, actually compared to the galaxy s8 its great plus i imported it so no warranty option, i just feel it coukd have been more, it appears when screen is on i am kosing about 1% every 5-7 minutes whatever i am doing, i dont know if its normal, just today i already lost 16% in 3 hours with only 25 minutes of sot and wasnt doing much, i started suspecting google chrome is the culprit or the screen is power hungry, also when you factory reset did you install everything from scratch because i restored a full backup including apps and app data from hisuite may be i should install everything from scratch i dont know

I restored from my google account, which only restores contacts and apps (but installs the apps from zero) I had some experiences with several backup apps/services which affected my devices so i decided to go from 0
will try to factory reset and only restore image and videos and install aoos from scratch and see what happens
