[Q] weird issue with battery - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my phone is ARC S
most of times when battery percent is about %40 suddenly the low battery message appear and show %1 and phone shut down .
i'm sure it's not %0 battery problem (double checked with log and this forum guys!)
and tried most of roms and kernels and no different .
is it from battery and shoud i change it ?

try this battery calibration app. if still same problem occurs, maybe it's really the battery itself got problem.
I personally always do calibration of battery whenever I switched ROM.

I think so too.
Battery calibration apps offer a satisfying placebo effect on battery life.
But when battery acts this weird, you need something more than a placebo.
First you do a Repair with SEUS and if the problem persists, it's most probably hardware related.
If one of your friends has an Arc, you can exchange batteries for a day, to make sure that your battery is actually faulty before buying a new one.
Last but not least, if you do buy a new battery, it'd better be an original one.
Don't trust cheap eBay knockoffs!
Good luck!

do you mean changed it ?

No, I came home and charged it and never had the problem again.
But mine dropped from ~40% to 29% not to 0% like yours did.

Make sure that your battery is not bloated/'pregnant'.

Yeah check the battery status. I had the same problem 3 months ago. I was forced to buy a new one.
Re: Please help with my battery problem..>.<
Your problem is NOT ROM related. The poor battery is a common issue with the W. I had my W for just over a year, and when it was claimed by my Son, it was on it's third battery....and I can confirm that I was experiencing similar performance issues to you.....the first battery failed while I was still running stock GB, so again I say your ROM has NOTHING to do with it....
Even if your battery isn't bloated, the fact that it's giving such poor performance is a clear indicator that it's time to replace it......

I had exactly the same sort of problem recently, especially the inconsistent battery level, although for me it showed up most often when taking photos using the flash.
The bottom line is that the battery is totally stuffed and needs replacing. I spent weeks trying to sort the issue out and no matter how many re-flashes of the ROM and full calibrations of the battery I did, the only cure was a new battery.
As soon as I had a new battery fitted and fully charged all the problems ceased straight away, I now get 1 - 2 days of use from a full charge and no random shut downs.
The old battery had started to swell, but was barely noticeable unless the battery was laid on a hard, flat surface which highlighted the bulge that had started to form near the bottom of the battery.
that's why unless you need to travel or are expecting a full day without access to a power plug, charge your battery to around 60-70%. This will reduce stress on your battery and it will bloat in a much later time xD!
on a side note, current rating of chargers will only affect the charging rate of your battery and will not cause any problem to its battery life. so high current charging is good ! (by high i mean 1A or 1.5A instead of the current 0.7A ones that Samsung gives us)

[Q] Battery arc s

So now i bought new battery for my phone because old is ....... I charged it at night to 100% then next morning i went to school. I wasnt using phone but it was heating and there was extreme battery drain. Even if i turn phone off the battery is discharging and phone is heating. So please tell me if is the problem because battery is new or its somthing else?
Im using everything stock, not rooted, only unlocked bootloader.
Are you sure its a genuine battery? Never had this problem.

Correct, if it's fake then you need to put in the bin and buy a genuine battery.
Seriously, if your phone still gets warm when you switch it off, I would throw away the battery as far as possible...
Don't you mean standby (screen switched off)?
It still shouldn't get warm when in standby, but then atleast it could be a software problem instead of a possible faulty battery.
Maybe some app keeping your phone from entering deep sleep which drains the battery and might be the cause of the battery drain as well.
Check which apps are using the most power, or just simply factory reset your phone and see if the problem still exists.
If you bought your battery for $5 off eBay or something then chances are its a fake.
If you bought it from the Sony store then of course it's real. (and you should get it replaced)

I have original battery i ordered it at my operator from germany and it was 30€. When phone is turned off it drains battery. So if i flash kernel and wipe all should help?
If the battery still drains with the phone off (not screen off) then it's advisable to get a replacement.

its second day after new battery and i noticed that the phone is less heating but still drain battery but not in large amount so i will wait one more day. if wont be better if will root it and decrease processor to 1ghz
and i found another problem. if the battery empty so the fon shut down itself when i connect the chrager it dont start to charge and i cant turn on phone. it take like 3-4 hours to start charging...
I had a similar problem with my sisters galaxy mini... after a few days the only solution that i found reliable was to send it back for repair since it was warranty covered...

hmm ic. if its newly installed rom then i think its normal. i also encounters that but after 2 or more charging cycles its back to normal. but since ur using it for almost a week, idk. maybe battery related.
Oh, if someone have counter this before this than i relieve a bit. I have charge more than 5 times and counting maybe..

Turned off again just now, battery still around 60% when turned off.
My original battery got bloated, so I bought a new one, and the phone was turning off on 30% every time, then I called guarantee, they changed the battery to other one and this never happened again.
Maybe the problem is with your battery.

when i flash another rom, the problem still same but different result, the battery percent only decrease, not 0% just like when i posting this.
i already use SGW over one year and nothing happen.
maybe battery problem because when i recheck my battery, it bloating a bit.
tomorrow i go buy new battery and try again. hope this problem settled

Sounds to me like your battery is on it's way out. When my original battery failed I experienced many random crashes, shut downs, reboots - the battery looked fine at a glance, but upon closer inspection (ie taking it out and laying it on a hard, perfectly flat surface) there was just the smallest, tiny amount of bloat starting to occur (barely visible - but enough to show the battery was past it's prime).
I replaced the battery, calibrated it and the problems all went away.

[Q] Is this battery dead? (Bad battery life, battery percentage jumping)

Hey there guys, fellow developers, I have a problem with my battery. To be honest I can't really tell if it is slowly dying or whatever.
I bought a used HOX and I am having weird battery behaviour. As you can see, I can get these stats over a day. (see attachment)
The battery percentage often jumps over time. When I'm multitasking/playing a game/surfing net, the battery often stay for example on 62% and after 5-10 minutes it immediately jumps down for example to 50% without showing proper battery percentage.
And vice versa... When I reboot phone with 30% it will reboot and then I'm noticing battery percentage jump but to the other side. (for example to 35%)
Today it jumped from 4% to 61% when rebooting. Lol?
By the way, charging is too slow and when I'm using the mobile at the same time it doesn't even charge up.
Sorry if this is solved somewhere else on forum, but I could not find that.
Thanks in advance guys. :fingers-crossed:

I am also expressing the same battery problem.... Does replacing the battery solves the problem because this will be again 1800mAH battery???
I kinda have the same problem. With "kinda", I mean the battery meter will sometimes drop down in 4% or 5% increments (ex. from 56% to 51% immediately).
Thinking of changing the battery too. If you did change yours, be sure to let us know if everything is back to normal.

Okay, hope you fix your problem. Be sure to let us know.
As for the slow charging, if you're using a USB cable, you could try a custom kernel and enable "fast charge". The phone will charge with the same speed and voltage as an AC adapter. (It will disable access to your USB storage though until you untick "fast charge").
Even with fast charge I'm facing same problem like all they do ...

From the date i'd rooted and started customising my phone, my phone is charging almost 1% per 6-7 minutes!!!

Flash your stock rom once again, if your phone gets quickly charged then there is some software issue and if the problem still persists then I think there is some problem in the microusb port

Brother successfully flashed ota, now phone's software is fully stock including Bootloader.
Till date phone was company stock, it was working fine :crying:
I know my 816 sometimes has to be turned off (and stay off) to charge. Otherwise it'll drain itself dead while plugged in. After a good solid charge it'll work again for a while without having to turn it off for charging. Turned off until fully charged works best. Happens on stock or cm, had the same issue with my evo 3d... Both htc phones.
I've not found any good reason for it, I seldom have much software installed to drain the battery.
@bigsupersquid nd @singhjot0020 I'm using cm13 with lots of apps nd I don't face any battery issue. You guys can try Nitro X sparkle mod and calibrate the battery into Nitro booster although I dnt require it. Greenify is the best app available, nd my personal experience says both lollipop nd mm update uses to much juice as compared to my kk rom still my phone manages to charge quickly on cm13. @singhjot0020 now everything is working fine on stock so flash cm13 once more and flash the microgapps package nd use greenify

Welcome
@rjcool1999 is it that my phone's is 2 years old that's why battery life has reduced that much ?
Someone of my known had the same battery issue, he got a new battery from htc service centre for ₹1400 with 3 months warranty, although same would be taken for ₹300-400 from Karol Bagh. He's saying that now his phone is working fine.
Battery draining issue solved, but charge time's same (appx. 2-3 hrs)
@bigsupersquid any comments? @rjcool1999 any suggestions

Its obvious that battery performance will reduce with time and if u wish u can get the battery replaced from service centre or from wherever u want nd make sure its a genuine htc battery otherwise it will effect your phone. For the charging time issue the best thing is to buy an asus charger, it has 1.35amp voltage output nd charges the phone very quickly faster than the original htc charger also. You can get it from ebay for 600-650

Okay thanks ?
@rjcool1999 i had replaced the battery with the new one, battery performance is fine, but charging time is increased, even after switching off and charging sometimes charges only 8-10% in 20-25 min.
What would be the cause?

I think that the battery backup is somehow increased from that of 2 year old battery (htc desire 816 a5dwg)
Today only, I've charged phone to full and in 30-35 minutes, battery has fallen to 84% from 100%
