My phone battery life has been very unusual these past few months. It charges too quickly on 400:700 mA currency. The phone just gains +10% in under a minute. And the phone shuts down too quickly too. Can't get through an average day anymore on my usual custom roms. It's not a rom particular issue since I've tried multiple including flashing miui and still getting very bad battery life. Phone shuts down at 20:30% and the phone doesn't even last 3 hours.
What should I do?
Seems like your battery is done for. Exchanging it with a new one would probably be your best bet.

Here's a situation two ways of charging the phone 2 results.
1.Battery gets low TURN OFF the phone and charge it
2 battery gets low charge it while ON..
Two amazing results
1.charging the phone while off still yielded a full charge of 4200mah
2charging the phone while on yielded the same 4200.
Nothing amazing right? For the past 6 days I've tested this from a stock cm7 ZERO 3rd party modifications same activities for the last 6 days. 6 hours standby and 1:30 minutes of usage in browsing 4g only never wifi for usage. Now results
charging while off -20% really really dissapointing...
Charging while on - 50% BIG BIG diffrence. I've never touched any settings I just accidentally noticed that I left my phone on through a charge overnight and amazingly best battery life I've ever had on the atrix.
Hi this is my first ever post so please bear with me, my lumia like many others suffers from ridiculous battery drain I have the new software and yes I can now charge to the max. However the battery cannot last the day out until I discovered this. Most people I know continually top up there battery, but if you just let it completely die then do a full charge overnight you may like me notice a massive increase in battery life, I have changed nothing about the way I use my phone the only difference is it now lasts 2 days easily.
The figures quoted in battery saver have not changed but as the day goes on the time since last charge goes up but so does the estimated battery life.
My phone is now IMO fantastic.
Maybe if you tried this it might work for you too, do hope so.
One word of caution when the phone has died the phone cannot be switched on until charger has been plugged in for some time, in my case about 20 minutes after plug in the phone switches itself on.
Please try and maybe you will also have the most amazing phone too.

I think I experienced something similar. I then flashed the new firmware and am back to lower battery life. Need to take the time for a few discharge cycles.
The problem with this approach is that some Lumia 800's cannot turn on after a full discharge. People have gone to great lengths to be able to get a tiny bit of charge so that it could power on. Some people have had to send them back for repair.
Question to TS. Do you let it completely die every time now or can you charge it whenever and still get the great battery life?
battery fix maybe
Hi after letting the phone die I have not done it again since, I just top up as needed or at night just as you would normally do.
Hope this helps.
Okey. When you say "completely let it die" do you mean letting it drain and turn off. Or do you start it once again after the first turning off and let it die again?
battery fix maybey
Just use the phone till it turns itself off, then plug in charger, this is when you may have to wait for the phone to switch on, mine turns itself on after about 20 minutes, charge as normal then use as normal, charging as you would normally do.
Good luck.
I did this once intentionally about two weeks ago. Did not notice any difference really. I do not have "bad" battery life to begin with. Not great either though. But it easily lasts a full day with heavy usage which is all I need really.
12 hours since last charge. 73% left on battery. I have used it "normally". About 10 quick calls. A few messages. Browsing on the marketplace installing a few apps editing contacts etc...
I'm pretty heavy on my usage, too. Lots of Mix Radio, sometimes played via bluetooth.
After my stock battery started dying and not holding the charge anymore I bought two new aftermarket batteries (2300mAh) everything went fantastic for some time, then from one day to the other the battery I use daily started draining crazy (even 2% at time) I tried a lot of roms with no luck. Bad battery you say, here is the weird fact, the other battery which used maximum 4-5 times at month keeping it at half-charge, has the EXACT same drain that the other has. Is it possibile that something in the phone has gone nuts and is indicating wrong values? I also ran a full charge-discharge cycle preventing the low battery shutdown through xposed, and it shutdown some minutes after hitting 0%, at full charge indicates 4.300mV is it correct, isn't it?
Also using the *#0228# code (I can't recall now if it's correct) the charge level drops a lot like 30-50% and I noticed that the phone later stays at that % for quite a bit and also the heat from the battery draining stops and the phone stays very cool also while gaming, until it starts draining again
No one?
You can look at the simple battery-statistics in setting to find abnormal consumption by an app.
Otherwise buy a battery from Samsung's e-store: I bought several 'original' batteries (not for S3) from Amazon and mentioned too early wear after 1/2 year.
Replacement batteries are a waste of money. I had 2. 1 bloated and the other dies in a few minutes. Upgraded my phone instead.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.
hi there,
as the title says,
what i wanted to do is to drain my battery to complete zero.
my phone will die suddenly when the battery indicator shows 40%-50%.
so i think a way to fix this is to drain battery completely and charge it back up again from 0%(or at least 1%).
the battery problem happened when i moved to custom rom.
cant do the strong vibration, high acc gps, max brightness since when the battery reaches ~50%, my phone will shut down immediately.
so, is there a way to drain battery?
thanks
How to fix Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (kenzo/kate) battery problems on Custom ROMs
Hi @dewasa98, I had these battery problems too when I switched to a custom ROM (LineageOS) some year ago. my phone was already about two years old though. the phone would shutdown at 25% or sometimes 50% of battery. it also had a weird behavior while charging, it would start charging at 25% while it has just shutdown...
I replaced my battery, and all these problems were gone! The phone feels as if it were new
My advice for you is to get a new battery and replace it yourself. it's very easy and straightforward on RM N3. Watch a video before you do it, and everything will be fine. This will extend the life of you phone two more years at least :good:
The battery reference for Redmi Note 3 is: BM46, in case you want to get a new one.
Hey OP, did you ever find a TWRP script to drain battery? That's what I'm currently looking for.
Hi everyone,
it seems that battery issues on these devices are quite common, but I wasn't able to find out much about my observations, yet.
I recently got this model cheap in stock condition and decided to revive it. It's running /e/ OS currently, but the displayed battery percentages are extremely erratic.
When fully charged, the battery drains very consistently for 15-20% per day while in idle. However, if rebooted at any time, the phone immediately shows a completely drained battery at 2-4%. It will stay that way until fully charged again and despite the displayed percentages, the battery-app (correctly?) calculates multiple hours of charge remaining.
It does seem like some kind of software issue, since the phone does not turn off or refuse being charged like other users have mentioned and the battery still does supply hours/days of power.
On the other hand, the issue was apparently also present on the stock Android, so it would have to be either firmware- oder hardware-related?
Has anybody experienced something similar with this or any other device and is there anything I can try to fix this?
Or is the battery itself malfunctioning and needs to be replaced? If yes, are there any brands or replacement models to recommend for this phone?

its the battery that needs to be replaced. I had the same issues with my moto z (xt1650), the battery replacement fixed it all. the battery life is now incredibly longer than before and i didn't experienced any suddent drain at reboot.
all that for just 13,99$
