So my battery totally died(2%) but when it should charge, it goes to the blue kindle screen, boot up, then powers down, and stop charging. I need help to get it to charge. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothings wrong, its just that when it usually goes to: "Cant power up, wait few minutes" or something, it boots up again. Also i want to stop this by unrooting but i cant.
EDIT: About 5 minutes after that i went to reboot>system and then it went to the charging mode(for whatever the blue "Kindle Fire" screen is called). And @Thepooch it was not charging i tried everything(wall, xbox, and computer) and after an hour TWRP said the battery was at 1%. Eventually it charged after rebooting the system. And when i posted this it was via usb.
apparently it charges correctly when in that state via usb

I definately would not unroot it you will be left with very bad results.

hope kinfauns wont dislike my quoting him.
You actually need to leave the device connected to a low amp power source like a computer's USB port for FFF to enter this charging state. It will bypass the low battery charge if you connect it to a wall charger.Turn off the KF, connect it to your computer. It will try to turn on and go into charging mode. It won't turn on the backlight, but you will see that the power button has a dim amber light. Just leave it alone for a while (half an hour to an hour) and when it has enough power, it will get out of charging mode and continue booting. When it's able to boot and stay booted into the system, you can connect your wall charger and continue charging the battery.

I think you should buy a new battery because your battery drains too much. I bought a new battery on amazon and I spent only 20 euros.

Hello,
I have problems with baterry too since i flash my phone with Slimbean rom 4.1.2. Since i have this rom my battery goes from 100% to 0 in 6 hours, before i had original rom i had battery for 3 days. So this can't be problem in battery. Anyone know what to do ?

i ,, too,, am flashing so many roms,, trying each and every one out there,,,

THE WIFI
after i connected my phone to a wifi,, and then,, i switch it off,,,, i noticed that it will then start to reconnect by itself,,.. dont know when ,, or even how,, but its reconnecting itself,,, it continues to scan,,, ... result is that,, when i touch my phone... its really hot,,, and because of that,, im sure my phone isnt going to a deep sleep state.. (correct me if im wrong)
that is when i search the net and found a way to disable a wifi reconnection thru terminal emulator,,,,
and that is by entering this one
su (enter)
svc wifi disable (enter)
exit (enter)
exit (enter)
i usually do that after i use my wifi,,, to ensure that it wont reconnect again,,,
and im just wondering why in CM,, its always reconnecting,, while on gb roms,,, it doesnt....

after you calibrated your battery let it drain to 0% and full charge it and use it as usual you will feel that your battery stand more and more
and by time it will be ok again

I have some what of an odd problem with battery life and this rom. I've looked all over the net with just battery problems, and tried a few things. The most common problem I had when I was on 9.1 of this rom was my phone radio was always using around 40% of power even when wifi and data was off or just having one or the other on.
With 10.2 the battery life is much better, so was with 9.1 when I first installed it. I'm very new to this, this is my first rom, my first root.
First couple of days of installing the 9.1 AR HD my phone would be 100% through the whole night, and I'm talking 8+ hours of no use with 100%, not plugged in. Couple of weeks of use, and every night I would start losing 10%. I install the 10.2 AR HD update and again, phone lives through the night without even losing a single percent, then slowly starts losing more and more every new day when asleep.
A new install usually last me about a week and a half of battery life, then slowly starts draining faster where the battery is only good for a couple of days. What is causing such a major decrease in battery? Should I try clearing anything in the restore UI like catch and delvik, not sure what the second one was called?
I use the phone mostly for music, a phone call here and there, texting. And like I said, the very first install or update would get me about a week and a half, then starts degrading.
Thank you for your help.
Maybe a rogue app? Did you try not to install any apps after a factory reset to see if you have the same behaviour? You can also install an app like Gsam battery monitor or betterbatterystats which will tell you what is draining your battery
Yes, I have gsam, and that's where I knew the phone radio was being used at 40%, everything else looked normal. I also don't have many apps installed.
But like I said, the battery performance degrades after a week. I could start uninstalling things, don't think that would help me much as I only have less then 6-8 apps.
Try installing betterbatterystats. The partial wakelocks setting might give you more info

By the way do you have some Gsam screenshots to share? Maybe your phone signal is low and that's what's eating the battery
much hshysfo

Seriously I wish I had your stats. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your phone. 18 % in 19 hours is fantastic. What you see as radio 21h there is the same as phone active. Basically if your phone is not on airplane mode then radio is active. Nothing to worry about
I only did the update a day ago from 9.1 to 10.2. The problem I had with 9.1 was that after a few weeks of use, the battery life started to get bad. Which is why I'm trying to figure out if there is anything I could try when or if it starts happening again.
Or to be more precise, what would cause the phone to be so good for the first week of installing the rom then start degrading. Because that just makes no sense.
On fully stock Rom with disabled bloat. On build 2.22.401.5.
My phones WiFi was actually off(no idea why it shows on)
My phones signal was full. No background apps. Still ~2% per hour seems a lot. Any ideas?
Goto WiFi settings > 3dot> Advanced > uncheck "Scanning always available"

Completely stock. Fully charged then left in "sleep mode", 5% drain in 15hrs.

Are you rooted? Try Gsam. And gsam root companion if you're rooted. The stock battery screen says nothing useful.
Having WiFi on all the time should not drain battery. I think your problem is something else. But yeah, 2% per hour is terrible.

You want to check held awake time and times waking device in gsam... If rooted.
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
But yes, always scan for WiFi should be off. But in my opinion, turning off WiFi when screen is on hurts more than it helps. WiFi has to constantly connect every time you touch your phone.
Should be able to get excellent standby drain with WiFi on constantly.
gonna try gsam and let you know. i was rooted but i decided to go back to full stock, get ota etc.
i tried fully wiping, flashing stock 2.22.401.4 rom + firmware and then ota to 2.22.401.5 and restore everything from backup but the drain is still quite similar. what's surprising is, the build versions i had before, they had excellent standby time, like 2% gone after 9 hours. so its really a bummer why the battery is just slowly and painfully draining away :\

We need the time held awake and times waking device screens. If you aren't rooted, and/or haven't installed gsam root companion, you won't see those as options.
But they are the only screens that matter in this case. If you can't get them, we have no clue what's waking your device.
We need those 2 shots and a good long discharge to see what's going on.

If you can.... Please go from 100 to 10 or 15 percent, then post the main gsam screen, app screen, held awake time screen, times waking device screen and for fun, the radio screen.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------
I can tell you already, with all those social apps... And especially if location is on... You're going to get average battery life at best.
You should Greenify any social apps you can, that you can live without notifications. It'll make a huge difference.

I tried a lot of things but came to the same conclusion you did. I guess with the amount of social media apps+auto sync going on it's bound to drain. However if I do come across a possible solution then I'll definitely post it here.
Post the screens I suggested still, in case there is another issue. From 100 to 10 percent or so tho ...

It was the syncing. Turned off sync and deleted some of the social apps to check.
Standby it barely drains now. Already unrooted and back to stock. Thanks for the help.
SOLUTION
i dont use mobile data but my network mode was set to gsm/wcdma/lte auto. ive noticed that whenever its set to anything thats auto, it causes standby drain trying to figure out the appropriate connection. anyways, long story short, changed network mode to GSM only and voila!

The same thing happened to me I had high battery usage from cell standby. What I did to stop the battery drain from cell standby was to turn on airplane mode and then I can still turn on wifi while airplane mode is on problem solved
Had the same problem. In my case, the main culprits were Skype and WiFi background scanning. The last two versions of Skype don't play nice at all with the android 4.4.3 update. Anyhow, after removing Skype and disabling WiFi scanning from the advance WiFi settings, battery life went back from dismal (13 hours with 5% left) to amazing (20 hours with 40% left) at the end of the day.
Hope that helps,
Cheers
hi all
my htc one m8 battery is draining very fast
last time i called htc support for my issue (random reboots and also battery problems) they told me to clear cache and my device didnt start up but after charging it and getting some of the buttons for some seconds my battery worked well till now
im having battery draining issues again
what should i do about my problem?
Hi, have you tried something like Wakelock Detector from the play store?
This will show you if something is trying to wake your phone and wasting battery.
Maybe you have some rogue game or app thats trying to call home or is tuck in a loop on startup.
Also get Autostarts while you are there. you can see what is actually starting as you turn on the phone.
Could be you have a hardware problem but worth checking software first.
If all else fails, hard reset?
Sending back is the last thing you want to really.

If it's only started happening recently it would appear to be app related. Something is running in the background wasting battery.
I'd recommend something like autostarts, like the previous poster said, to check what's causing it.
If your phone's rooted, you can also use greenify to hibernate all apps that you don't want running in the background.
This is my battery status
See post 2 in this thread for general battery tips,
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Also, are you rooted? If so, get gsam root companion installed as well. Go from 100 to about 10 percent left and then do some gsam screen shots.
Especially, main screen. App screen. And from app screen drop down, times waking device and held awake time and kernel wake time.
Do you have a good signal whole not on wifi? A weak signal while on data is a killer and usually won't show in any battery stats.
?

Keep screen as dim as you can stand, manually. Check out "display brightness" from playstore store. Great app!
And turn location off! Completely off. For now anyway.
Well my device is completly stock and i dont have root
Yesterday i tried a way to calibrate battery and today i cleared chache.(this time phonr is fine ). I will post the result when phone is 10% again
