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.

Hello,
I have a problem with battery on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Let me tell You my story.
After buying my brand-new phone the battery life was quite ok, I could be using (games, music, internet) my phone for almost all day and I was charging it every night. After two years of using, I rooted my phone and installed CyanogenMod 11. Then the problem appeared - after some time the screen was flickering and device was turning off. I was really confused, so I changed my rom to another, then another, another etc. Then I saw my battery is swollen. I bought brand new, original battery and used CM12 for maybe one month. I changed cause of battery, about 3-4 hours. Now I'm using Android Revolution ROM which is modified stock ROM, but has improved RAM use etc. Now my battery life is much better, but it can not afford more than few hours without battery saving mode on, or 8-10 hours with battery saving on. Here You can see a screenshot from my phone (I would post this but spam setting don't allow me)...
Is it normal? I thought battery life on my phone was better. I haven't made any battery calibration. Should I try this out (cleaning battery stats)?
Thanks for Your answers.
There is no normal for battery life, a rough guide is 5hrs screen on time from one battery is good. Unless you run battery stats you won't know what the problem is.
It all depends on how you use your phone, I use mine completely differently.
When S3 was my primary phone and I used him extremely hard than battery needed to be charged every day. Now, when I'm using him occasionally battery remains operational even a 5 days.
It is not normal in daily use to charge every couple of hours especially if battery is brand new. Of course there can be power leak on IC chip due to overheating in past but usually apps and wakeloks respond for quicker than normal discharge.
Maybe there is an app in your play store shelf which drains battery juice. Try to flash any firmware you like but do not restore your apps. Try using your phone per one day and check how it goes.
Meanwhile you can install cpu spy to check deep sleep state. Also an app for wakeloks diagnostic, ie gsam or better battery stats.

Okay, I downloaded Wakelock Detector & CPU Spy and going to take a look how my battery is being drained.
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 everybody
I've got a major battery issue with my three year old Nexus 10.
The battery indicator shows something around 75%, drops to 0 in a split second, switches in energy saving mode (notification and navigation bar are turning red) while it shuts down.
To verify I made an Automate Flow saves the battery charge every second to a text file. Result:
Code:
82,82,82,81,81,81,81,[...],73,73,73,73,0,0,0,0,0 EOF
Okay, it thought to myself, after three years the battery is broken. So I bought a replacement battery (Samsung original) and replaced it - but nothing changed.
To clear all old stats (and running Android 6.0.1) I wiped everything TWRP offered and installed CM13 - but nothing changed.
Now my only guess is, that there's some EPROM (or other memory hardware) that stores battery stats.
Can you, dear forum, help me fixing that issue?
No one?
Has anyone of you guys changed the manta battery, yet?
Same thing after OTA upgrade in D6563
I'm facing the same problem here with my d6563, after the MM OTA update i started to face quick vertical battery drop, but we're not the only ones, some users are reporting this issue in a lot of devices, some of them after update, some others after rooting, some of them just after some apps update, and the thing is that nothing seems to work, some users claim to have solved the issue, but they are just talking to fast, because the problem comes back the same day, they just think taht the battery data is accurate but then the drop accurs, si, i'm starting a new thread listing all the solutions tghat senior members have recomended and failed in order to track this problem to his roots once in for all, it's been happening since kitkat at y has come worse since marshmallow
keep in touch to see what we can figure out about this.
Battery _stats_ issue
I had, ummm, similar issues with my TCL S720 (in less degree) and now with TCL M2U (TCL Meme da 3N M2U AKA Alcatel Flash+) phones.
TCL M2U has 3500mAh battery capacity.
After full charge it discharge normally to ~40%. Behind 40% it is discharged to 1% for a few minutes and shuts off!
If then I charge it again to 100% then it eats about its full capacity (~3500mAh) - checked with Keweisi USB Doctor and shows 100% charge, but discharges to 40% again.
On other firmware there is similar effect but for 30% level or 15% level, it depends on firmware.
I think that the battery is OK but the charge percentage display is wrong.
Another strange thing is when I see the charge level using Ampere app. It shows i.e. 50% battery level and 3.762V voltage on the battery. Then I plug it in charger. For a short time the voltage rises to 3.8V and more but the battery level is lowered to 45%! Also if I charge the phone from discharged state then the battery level is 1% for the long time, then it quickly raise to ~30% and then shows charge process normally (almost linear). The USB Doctor show the charge process smooth almost all time (from stronger current to weaker).
So I join to the 1st post question: where is the battery's _real_ voltage level data?
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.
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.
