Hi guys, I have a very big problem regarding to the battery. Sometimes it doesn't charge or maybe it's full charged but It drops from 100%, 50%, 20%, 5% and then die (in a few minutes). Somedays it works well but the average is not good. I tried several roms , full wipes and I changed the battery. I don't know what to do. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
what firmware? that did before the problems started?
I believe your battery is damaged. Possibly from high temperatures. I recommend getting a replacement phone if you still qualify for the manufacturer's one year warranty.
thanks

Flying Jelly 3.01. But the issue is general. Sometimes I plug it in chager mode and shows 100% but when it boots drop to 50% (20, 5, so on) in a matter of seconds.

I already changed it so I think is not a battery issue. I'm trying to avoid send it back because I'm from Argentina and I bought it in China.
Another issue is when you connect it all the night but it doesnt charge. At the first I thought it was a software issue but right now I don't know what to test. I think the most weird is when sometimes works just fine. It's making me crazy...I dont know if send it back or set it on fire lol.
Thanks guys.

Hmm maybe there is something wrong with your actual charging port. Have you tried resetting your phone's software?
I think you should flash the stock. before flashing do wipe. in order to avoid the problem of software.
thanks

I did it several times. I don't know what is happening but since two days is working "fine". The last thing I tried It was die-hard battery script. A guy in another forum recommended me to use compressed air to clean out the ports because it may have a piece of debris that is causing a direct short therefore killing your battery.
Thanks guys.
I've had a problem with my phone since day one (beging of November). I've tryed reading up for tips here, tryed alot of diffrent thing, plus hard reset, soft reset, repair in Sony bridge, fabric reset, runing the phone in safemode ect. Nothing seems to work. I use the phone normal, only some calls and texts somethimes, camera, and scrolling social media. But still the bayttery last just a half day, full charged in the morning and empty before bed time.
Does anyone have any more tips? Anyone think Marshmellow will help? Really reluctant going back to the store and them sending in for repair, being without a up-to-date phone for weeks and most likely problem not solved when geting it back and then doing this for 4 times before they'll replace it. (aldready done this every 3month or so with the Z1C og Z3C since spring 2014... *tiered*)

That's the lollipop radio active bug on latest .200 build I guess, I got similar case with you. Battery draining quick when not in use but I'm better than u, probably you got some other apps/services spending extra battery at background too.
Send back the phone every week won't help. Flash back .152 rom should be better but I think it will need Marshmellow to fix it ultimately.

For me it seems okey when not in use, unless theres a bug or something. F.ex the battery indicator is pretty much the same when I stop using it and when I pick it up again. And then it drains fast, f.ex scrolling down internet/facebook/instagram og whatever it drops 1% pr every 1min +/-.
And like explained, Ive tryed to run it in saftymode also, all my apps, settings ect gone, and pretty much still the same battery drain.
So unsure if marshmellow will fix this, or the store needs to repair it if thats possible, or the phone just needs to be replaced. Or maybe someone has another battery fix tip?

I understand now, you switched to safe mode to freeze background apps. I still believe that sd810 is quite power hungry when you real get used to it and some apps like facebook is usually resources hogging. But mine won't drop like 1% per min, there must be somethings wrong with you. It can be bad battery or charger in your phone damaged or the usb cable or wall charger which made your battery not actually full charged.

Hm... Yeah, it might be something like that. Been like that since day 1 =/
I originally bought one a week before, but it had the echo problem so since it was within 30days they just gave me a new. I think that one also had a bit of a battery problem, but cant remember if it was that bad. I really should have gone back before 30 on this one too, I was just so tiered of replacing and sending for repair. And I thought Marshmallow would be right around the corner or that some of the things I have tried might work.. But no..
But yeah, do think its more likely that it needs repair/replacement than that Marshmallow will solve it?
EDIT: It cant be the actual charger btw, I switch using an old Z3C charger, the one that follows and an another USB charger.
I face a similar problem. I doesn't have any solution :/
I gave up, and sent it in for service. Fingers crossed it helps and no more problems with anything after that.

I've used BetterBatteryStat and track what is causing wakelock. After limited them, my battery is a bit better now.
Sent it in for service also. I hope they will send me back a fully working phone. This is my first try with Sony care on 3 sony phones !
Sooo, the service report says that they have installed newest software and fabric reset the phone, tested it and dont see the same problem that I do.. That was a bummer, since the problem is deff there (I have same settings, apps, widgets ect as I have had on several z1c og and z3c. But battery have been better on all of them, 3days when they are new, and 1-2 days later. This z5c has been at approx 1/2 day since day one... ). And i have tried fabric reset, soft reset, hard reset, repair in bridge and saftymode. Hope it just magically works when I get it back..

My drain strangely slowed down after flashing generic nordic over Norwegian Telenor branding. Can't really explain it since the branding is very subtle.

Try disable Google Play Services and check if it is creating the drain overnight.
My Amazfit lost battery within half a day and i tried so much to fix this.
Started to believe in a hardware problem but after completely resetting the watch and pairing it with a new MI account and not restoring any data it runs several days without charging. I am quite sure the reason for the problem is an unfinished sync that is constantly repeated. Also seems that flight mode doesn't deactivate BT completely as it had no effect on the battery drain. When the connected phone was completely turned off, the battery seemed to last.
I am a bit confused.
What are your experiences with that problem?
I have the same problem and reset the watch to no avail. But, I didn't try to skip the restoration part. I'll try that and see if I get similar results. Anyone else having this issue?
I have the exact same issue. I already tried everything but nothing worked. When I compare the data from my Amazfit watch app with the Mifit app I can see that some days are not properly synced. So I guess you are right, it must be a syncing issue. I didn't try to make a new mi account after unpairing, but I guess I have no choice. This really sucks.
I also tried wiping it (resetting to factory) as well as new xi account. Didn't work. Then I tried uninstalling the app from my phone and turning the watch to airplane mode. No luck. I'm now not convinced it's a syncing issue.
After installing PACEFIED release 24 the battery drain is back. I am totally fed up with the watch.
Let's write down the facts to find a reason:
-I have a Chinese Version of the watch
-latest PACEfied installed
-Installed older chinese App, connected watch and then updated via Playstore to latest english App (Strava sync works)
-no wifi password entered for watch
-no music on watch, no headsets connected
-no additional apps or watchfaces installed
-no Mi-Fit App installed
-Phone is a Huawei P9lite on Android 7.0 EMUI 5
The sync with my phone works only once then i have to restart the watch, Notifications do not work constantly.
Then you seem to have a bluetooth problem.
It might be your watch, it might be the phone.
And when BT runs wild on the watch, it eats through the battery.
Can you check with a different phone?

Doesn't work for me... It seems like you have a different issue, but thanks for the sharing. Today I also tried to unpair the watch and pairing it with a different Mi account but also that didn't work. Resetting the bluetooth settings in my phone didn't make a difference either. I have honestly no clue what the problem is.
i have the same kinde of issue, for two weeks it was great, now i have to charge it every day, try everything. . new account, wipe cashe, factory reset, still the same problem
i think it is a software problems with, first of all huawei phones and some particular watchfaces. In fact i didn't use my amazfit for 8 days and the battery drain was normal. When i reconnected it the battery started draining... maybe the kirin processors aren't completely compatible with tha amazfit... another thing i noticed is that some third party watchfaces cause draining problems.
Im using us rom 1.3.3a.. xiaomi mi5s..
I started having battery drain issue after playing at beach.. but i didn't swim more than 1m.. dont know whether its related or not..
Done factory reset twice..changed facewatch.. still draining.. on airplane mode, so no notification.. Backlight auto, no continuous HR.. only last a day average..
Anyone can help? Really hope for new official rom update will fix this issue..
I have the same problem. Could this be a real battery failure?

As per Huami moderators, swimming is strict no no...
Hey guys.
I'm also having a battery drain problem. I didn't go swimming or did anything out of the usual. The watch works fine but the battery lasts close to a day, when a couple of weeks ago it would last at least three days.
I have continuous HR measures, do exercise with music every two days, but even in airplane mode there seems to be a drain.
I've un-paired and re-paired the watch back with the phone and the drain is still present.
I have no extra apps sideloaded, root or custom ROM. I have the latest international version of the app 1.7.1 and latest firmware 1.0.9.6.
Anyone found any fix for this? Does a any recent development version say anything in the change log related to battery drains being fixed?
Regards.

I have a P9 Lite Huawei, and i have probleme with a lot of deconnection and drain battery .... somebody have a solution for me ?
Mine has started to drain from 100% to 0% in a couple of hours.
Must admit I might of got it wet as I wore it to the beach, got in touch with Huawei and this what they said, and my watch failed .
Hello Vince,
Thank you for contacting Amazfit.
We are very sorry that you have trouble with the device.
Have you ever submerged the device into water? For example, did you wear it when you were swimming or taking a bath/shower?
To troubleshoot your issue, please do a small test for us.
1) Fully charge your watch to 100%
2) Turn on the flight mode on the watch
3) Turn off the Bluetooth on your phone.
4) Make it untouched for 24 hours
5) Check the power consumption
If the power consumption is less than 15%, it's normal.
If the power consumption is greater than 15%, it can't be repaired, please contact the seller to find a solution.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Cheers and have an excellent day!
Sincerely,
Molly| Amazfit Support

Same Issues
I'm having the same issues. Worked great for over a month. I was getting 4 to 5 days of charge easily.
Then last week It suddenly started to drain fast on me. Now i am barely getting 4 to 5 hours.
Did not get the watch wet.
I tried to run it in Airplane mode overnight. I woke up after about 3 hours and it was dead. Tonight i will try airplane mode and shut the bluetooth off on My Galaxy S7 as well.
A1612 firmware 1.3.3a
ps: Come to think of it my Galaxy S7 just had a software upgrade early last week. The problem started just after that upgrade I think.
i have charge the device at 100%, then turn it off for almost 2 days, now it seem like power is holding on, i hope it will last
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Essential Phone's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
7.1.1 Nougant 10 hours sleep mode 2% battery drain how can it get much better than this? Wifi & cellular on with bluetooth off.
hello,
PH1 phone is having problem to hold charge.
I hardly use the phone but lately battery is not able to keep the charge.
I deleted atleast 20 apps that were recently installed and still did not see any improvement.
I turned off notifications from almost all apps (except for very important apps).
Screen timeout is using standard setting.
Any ideas???

If reset to factory doesn't work, then for sure it's battery issue.

Could well be the battery, or possibly hardware (so don't let them reseal phone until new battery proven to last), though before getting it changed I'd reflash the Essential stock factory firmware from here as you do not know it's history,

(Or from the XDA thread with all the stock images, if in the future this link no longer works)

Try boot into safe mode & see how that goes.
Turn off WIFI & Bluetooth scanning
Check you haven't got malware like a crypto miner (run good anti virus and look at what processes are running under developer options)
Reflash stock ROM
Change battery (as per my post above)
Thanks IronRoo & chanh2018.
Days ago I reflashed to Android 10, January patch, and calibrated the battery and now in 1 hour spends about 8%, either without data or with data.
I don't know why, but the top of the phone is always warm, and before isn't.
For now I prefer no open the essential at risk to crash the display panel.
Thanks!
Got this reply from Essential some time ago (before they went belly up) and it helped me:
here are some common ways that the battery can drain more quickly: Things like signal strength of your cellular connection (more power is needed to maintain a weak connection), how often apps wake up to check for new data (social media apps are the biggest hit), screen brightness (huge impact) and how often the screen is used, and other active connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC), can all impact how long the device can be used before needing a charge.
If this issue just started in the last few weeks, I would recommend reviewing any third-party apps that you might have downloaded/updated when the issue first started and try uninstalling them temporarily if possible, as that would be a common reason for sudden battery drain.
You can also put the device into Safe Mode to limit running apps to just base software for testing. This would help isolate the issue to rule out any third-party app issues causing the drain and narrow down where the problem might be.
To put the device into Safe Mode:
- Press and hold the Power Button
- On the screen, tap and hold Power Off
- Confirm you want to Reboot to Safe Mode by selecting OK
Once in Safe Mode, you can observe the device and see if the same battery drain is noticed. If you are not seeing the same drain in Safe Mode, a third-party app would be the cause. Once testing is complete, you can reboot the device with the power button as you normally would to bring it out of Safe Mode.
Once out of safe mode, test to see if the issue persists for at least a day.
If the issue persists, I would suggest the following:
- Turn "Off" battery saver if "On" and charge your device to 100%
- Use the device as normally until it reaches 25%
- Take the following screenshots:
Visit Settings > Battery and capture the entire page (you may need to scroll down and take several screenshots to capture everything)
In the same menu, tap the 3 dots icon on the top right corner
Tap Battery Usage and capture the entire page (you may need to scroll down and take several screenshots to capture everything)
You can toggle airplane mode off, bringing back mobile functionality while in Safe Mode. The next step here would be to run the aforementioned battery tests.

If you have reset 5x and still have issue, guess you should reflash the stock ROM.
(Side note: Today my phone lost a lot of power very quickly on standy, 20% in about 3hrs, only app showing as using battery was Google Play services, showing only 1%( strangely?) with nothing else showing when including system apps.

me too in using battery, normally doesn't appears nothing.
Change battery will helps.
3rd party battery cost about SGD 25 usually come along with the tool to open the phone
Glue/tape to stick back the LCD to the phone $1 - $2
If you mess up like me breaking the LCD you need to spend another SGD 25- 40 on the screen.
Hairdryer blow against the LCD to soften the glue, use the suction cup to remove LCD do remove with care there's cable attached to the phone at the back of the LCD and you might accidentally splitting the LCD films, remove all the screws cable(shortest screws) four corners of the plate(medium screws) near the middle(longest screw), remove the plate from the right side because left side is slotted into the frame of the phone, remove two screw to remove the cover that support the battery ribbon, slowly/carefully remove the battery that was stick on the phone start from the side slowly pull up or you also can use hairdryer to soften the glue/tape, use the tape given by the seller to stick the battery to the phone and just put back everything.

Hi everybody!
I just stumbled onto this website and I'm amazed to see how many things I can learn from you guys what to do with my watch. My Amazfit is new, updated, but after the battery dropped dead, I can't seem to access the Sleep, Steps, Compass, GPS, and Monitor.
I am really curious what can I do to make my watch work again, as I found it perfect to my all activities. The sleep function is really important for me as I'm fidgeting at night and I'm under mild medication to sort my problems. This watch was vital for me.
Thanks heaps for any help.
ps: I restarted a few times, I even reset it to factory settings. Every single time I restart it, I get an "Optimising App1, Total 1" message for a few minutes, then I can't access most of its function.
Cheers.
You can see only clockface? I've had that problem that Amazfit got stuck on one pericular watchface, had to change it via phone app, it took some time, and after restart everything was ok. Try that
Sent from my LG-G3 using Tapatalk
Thanks for your reply. It's not stuck on one single face, I can change them. The watch works fine apart from the fact that I can't access GPS, Monitor, Pace and Sleep. Even after restarting, unpairing n pairing, updating etc...
I think you're pretty much in the same boat as me. I'm still trying to figure it out for the past few month when I got into that problem as well. The only time it worked was few days ago, where I went and flashed the Pacified Rom, and back to 1.3.3a. It only worked for about a day or 2 before going back to the problem again. I suggest that since it's new, get it replaced as soon as possible. I've been trying to get mine replaced but my seller is ignoring me and Aliexpress is not much of help.
Isn't there any down/upgrade that would solve this situation?
I mean, I bought it from the same website, no warranty/refund available. That's a pity.
Do you have any tutorial on how you flashed the Pacified Room and back to 1.3.3.a?
Thanks a lot, Alex.

Hi everybody!
I just stumbled onto this website and I'm amazed to see how many things I can learn from you guys what to do with my watch. My Amazfit is new, updated, but after the battery dropped dead, I can't seem to access the Sleep, Steps, Compass, GPS, and Monitor.
I am really curious what can I do to make my watch work again, as I found it perfect to my all activities. The sleep function is really important for me as I'm fidgeting at night and I'm under mild medication to sort my problems. This watch was vital for me.
Thanks heaps for any help.
ps: I restarted a few times, I even reset it to factory settings. Every single time I restart it, I get an "Optimising App1, Total 1" message for a few minutes, then I can't access most of its function.
Cheers.

You could retry reinstall firmware perhaps...
Search here how to. (or update with newer firmware)

First you need to unlock the bootloader. To do that, you can have a look at it here.

To flash the rom to PACEfied follow the link here. You could try the latest version .35, but that didn't work for me as I got stuck in the update loop despite using fastboot to continue, so I ended up using version .32. Instructions are all there

To flash it back to 1.3.3a, go through this link.

Currently trying to repeat the steps I did on how to get everything working minus the GPS running app. Now I'm at .29 of the Pacefied ROM. Waiting for my battery to be completely drain and wait a day before charging it and flash it back to 1.3.3a. Will let you know if it's a success or not.
I've come to a conclusion that this is related to hardware problems. Somehow even draining it for 3 days still didnt' do anything and now the battery doesn't even last up to a day.. Looks like we're pretty much unlucky to get these faulty units. Sad.
Hi Alex! My Amazfit is working fine now, I think by the greatest of coincidence. Let me tell you what happened.
Yesterday I ran out of battery and I chucked in the cradle in order to charge it, but I couldn't see any charging. Then I twisted, rotated and changed its position and nothing happened.
Then I realized the contact plates might be dirty. With a cotton bar and an alcohol pad, I cleaned them thoroughly and guess what, once I restarted the watch it works perfectly.
I'm not sure this is the reason or I've been lucky, but honestly speaking I'm afraid to restart it again. So I will keep charging it religiously avoiding any discharge. My other problem is that I need to get a new phone.
Would I be able to pair my new phone to Amazfit without "restarting to factory settings"?
Thanks.

Sweet. I think I did something similar to clean the plate. But alas mine still doesn't work as we speak. I think restarting it is ok. But because I unpaired it with my phone, the watch went into factory reset that got me back to where it was not able to work. Maybe before you unpair with your current phone, on your new phone try logging in. If it's like the mi band 2, it should prompt you to pair via BT rather than QR code.
