Hi
So about a month ago I went from AOSP Extended 8.1 to MIUI 9.5 just to get a feel of the skin and to have better battery compared to the poor battery management of 8.1. At that time I used to get 4-5 hours SOT. Not too shabby.
After switching to MIUI I observed that I got manageable battery life but didn't like the overall look of the ROM. So I then reverted to 8.1 using Nitrogen OS. The issue started here, with even worse SOT than before and 40-50 % drain overnight. I didn't want to charge more than once everyday and decided to move to 7.1.2 as I was aware that Nougat had the best of both worlds, with much better battery and it being stock. Looked up LineageOS 14.1. Saw it was a pretty old build but I didn't think much of it and flashed it. The moment it booted up and I tried to install a couple of apps, the 70% battery went to 0 and the phone shut down. It happened a couple more times and I concluded it was an issue with the ROM. I then downloaded AOSP Extended v4.6 (7.1.2), the unofficial build from the comments and to my dismay, the battery issue has worsened. Now I'm getting less than 2.5 hours of standby, <1 hr of SOT, and the percentages are dropping by the minute! I go to bed with 50-60% charge and wake up to a switched off phone with 0% left.
Is this the complete end of the battery? Do I have to change the battery or can this be solved via alternate ROMs or kernels?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Smells like a badly degraded battery

i've been running Nero 4.1 since it was posted and battery life was fine, suddenly last week it has been cut in half. I didn't load any new apps or change any of my settings or usage habits. I was getting 25+ hours and now I get 16 tops with very light usage. My battery stats say display is using 73% but the phone is idle most of the day. What could have caused this? Also I have tried conditioning the battery, it didn't seem to make a difference ,and, I flashed the rom with 100% charge.
did you condition it right?
I got my refurb LG Optimus from T-mobile a little over two weeks ago. I set it up with Groove IP and have wifi on almost all day with the phone in airplane mode. Running stock 2.2 and stock kernel, haven't rooted or anything. Generally I had it unplugged for about 14 hours a day and would charge it nightly. Battery life would get down in the 20-30% range on occasion and it was generally looking like I would have gotten about 20 hours total if I would have taken it down to 0%.
Without remembering making any major changes (updated a couple apps maybe) I am currently at 2 days 4 hours since last charge and battery is at 60%. This is the first time it's going this long ... basically two nights ago I was about to plug it in when I noticed the battery level was still really high so I didn't bother. Still high last night so I again didn't plug it in.
Any ideas what would cause this to happen? Looking at the battery use, it is mostly the same as before (50% wifi, 19% phone idle, 15% cell standby, 10% android system, a little to display and some other stuff). Was the battery level indication just wrong the first couple weeks? i.e. when it said 30% left it really might have been at like 80%?
Not complaining at all of course and I hope I keep getting this battery life.
Yesterday I decided to try a cm13 Rom which was working very good until it rebooted when I tried the v gesture for flash light. After that it was working the cpu on 100% all the time so I wiped everything and restored my old cm12.1 Rom after wiping. Today my battery life was horrible, around 2h SoT with no standby, usually I get around 7-8 hours with a lot of standby time. Did my battery get ****ed by the heating yesterday or what happened? I've never restored a rom before, can that have ****ed it up somehow? I just don't understand, I went from incredible battery life to buy a new phone asap battery life.
Edit: seems to be a battery calibration problem only. Have been on 1% for over an hour of SoT and some standby too.
How do I recalibrate the battery? My battery goes to 1% in 2 hours and then sits at 1% for ťhe rest of the day. Battery life is normal but I have no idea how much I have left.
Went into twrp where the reported battery % was correct and now when I rebooted system I'm up at 84% from 29 lol. Hopefully it's fixed now
Hi,
My phone battery is behaving abnormally since few days. The phone goes off at around 40% battery showing a low battery warning. It does not switch on unless I put it on charge and switch it on. After switching it on it shows random battery percentage like 23% or 71% etc. The battery is also discharging fast these days.
My OS is Miui 8.5.7.0 updated 2 or 3 weeks ago.

This could be due to faulty or a degraded battery
I have had also faced this problem on my previous devices and that was bcs of degraded battery over time
Can u tell me what's ur device age and also to make sure it's a faulty battery or something u should first take backup of everything and then clean Flash miui using Mi Flash tool
Thank you for replying. My phone is of 1 year old. I can bacup & clean flash but I have too many important things on my phone that I do not have time or I can't take risk of missing something. If I have no options then I can flash. The battery quality of Redmi is very poor, my nexus tab is running fine even after using it for 4 years and doing more recharge cycles.
Hi guys , I have bought this phone for about a week, the problem is that when the battery percentage is 14 to 11, it drains within 30 seconds and then the consumption is normal, I sent it to the dealer for that. They installed the latest version of miui. This was useless and the problem is still there, does anyone have this problem? Or if there is a solution for it, I also did the calibration.
I dont really understand what you are saying, i usually charge my phone whenever it is at 20% or something but there have been instances where it dropped to 5% too but I never noticed it specifically from 14 to 11
I have been using it for about a year now, so far things are good at my end and in general i am satisfied with battery life and charging speeds.
If your phone charges up fast, and overall battery performance is good with 5-6 hours SOT until you reach 20% i think it's good
I have the exact same issue on my Poco X3 GT. When the battery reaches 14% it drops very fast to 11% and then everything goes normal again.
