I was looking at the battery history graph just now and realized that there's a black gap on the graph. I can't figure out why that gap was there - my phone was on all the time and I hadn't suffered a sleep of death today. It looked like the battery recorder just had a blackout or something. Can someone explain that to me please? Thank you.
Means ur phone was booting.
Or it was off. Lol
Bored or an actual question.

If you actually read he said it was never off.

Oh wait I I read. I dunno.
If you were in CWMR then it does that.
Hi,
Maybe you don't see it (while you did not use it) but it's like a reboot,saw your graph you did not used continuously so maybe you have not paid attention to a reboot.
I mean a random reboot.
In any case,for me,each time I have this kind of thing it was due to a reboot.

Dude me and you are always answering questions alot together. Lol
Ah, the reboot explanation makes sense.
But then, doesn't the blackout period seem a little too long for a reboot? The battery curve dropped roughly 5% and it changed from green to yellow. I somehow expected that if a reboot was to cause a gap on the curve, it wouldn't cause a significant drop in battery level.

System crashed. It drains alot of battery when it reboots. A normal one takes 2%. Plus it's best to to turn it off and reboot if it does this. It could happen again If you don't.
I might also guess that with a random reboot, a few minutes of battery history might have been cached but not yet written to battery stats. So that'd increase the gap.

If you plug your phone into a charger or computer while on it will show that gap. Perhaps you were copying music or a soon-to-be-flashed ROM onto your phone for a few minutes.

My HTC Desire has a serious issue with battery life. Although I shut down most programs and connections, the battery lasts about 3 hours only. Also I have noticed that the phone gets quite hot on the back by the micro SD card. Do you think that my phone is faulty?
I posted the same question on,
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/desire-overheating/
but not many inputs, does anyone else got the same issue?
mmmm 3 hours? i think its faultly.. my one last more or less a day with normal usage. gets warm when i use it a lot.
checkout the thread on excessive battery usage before you deem it as faulty.

There are many tips in this thread and how to identify which application is using the most battery, and which are causing the device not to sleep correctly. Its a long thread, but worth the read.
If it is only lasting three hours no matter what you do, and it's getting THAT hot, then yeah... I would say there is an issue. Maybe it is shorting out somewhere. I would take it back if I were you. It can have poor battery life under VERY heavy use, but that's still pretty extreme... and I have never seen my battery get above 39c.
I had this last night, but only while I was charging the phone. I pulled the battery & it was around the microSD that was hottest. Took it out & replaced n rebooted...haven't had any problems since.
Doub't the microSD caused the problem but might be worth a try. Either that or when I rebooted I didn't start the app that caused the overheating.
Does it overheat if you just do nothing with it when u reboot?

Hot Battery
I received my HTC on Tues night and within half an hour the palm of my hand was burning inside and yet still not healed (Thurs AM). P10 of the safety guide says this is nonionizng radiation (sounds unhealthy). I believe that the aerial is just beside the SIM and card slot and holding this next to your palm is warned against in the manual. Bit strange since that is how you would hold a PDA. However, I informed my service provider (Three) and they said it must be a fault so are replacing (with new apparently). Slighlty concerning however I will reserve the option to refund until I see the new handset. I might add that I have HTC's XDA Guide for bus. and that battery also gets very hot, but not as quick! Why put an aerial next to a battery, the combination of the two, I beleive is casuing heat issues.

I would seriously reconsider your usage when charging. The highest mine has gotten was 40c. Just take into account that the bottom of your screen will also get near that temp, so be very careful

highest I've seen is 38°C, I believe above 45 is extremely hot
I've had to send mine back to HTC for "stress testing" as mine can't even get past 33°C without going into a reboot loop . It gets that hot just with some light use of GPS + Maps or Mobile Internet + Browsing.
Hopefully they at least replace the MoBo or possibly even the whole phone doubtful though...
hehe, my active holder in the car is in such a place I aim the vent/blower at the back of the Desire. No overheating while navigating with the airco on!
But I guess having something this fast (1ghz) in such a small package which uses quite some power as well means it's going to be hot real fast.
Although I don't find the Desire -that- much warmer/hotter than some of the other phones I've owned.
I guess when your Desire gets really hot (over 40C-45C or something) you can always give HTC or the warranty service a call. Perhaps when some parts don't sit properly on the cpu (something like a cooling frame or whatever), temperatures will rise a lot. And might even cause the phone to reboot.
Hi, I had similar problems that is very evident when i started playing games. I sent back to HTC 3 times before they finally replaced my mobo. I suggest you guys do the same
So i have been using my phone without problems until, lately, my phone started turning itself off when it had plenty of juice (ie. 80%) and when i turned it back on it would have 0%, turning itself off again. I also noticed that when it does this i get LOS. I was on the CM10 beta or alpha rom when this first happened, so i changed to phandroid, thinking there was something wrong within the rom. But it is happening still with the new rom.
I do not know if it is battery problem, because it is not really swollen. Any help/advice on how to fix will be appreciated
By "it's not really swollen" do you mean its not swollen at all or it's swollen some? Because any swelling at all, even the slightest bit means the battery is bad. It will only get worse once the battery starts to bloat it doesn't stop or slow down it just swells more and more, faster and faster. If you put it on a table and it spins more than 1/4 turn it's swollen and it's bad. Every symptom you've described is a bad battery.
I like to break stuff!
It may not be the battery at all. Could be the power button finally giving up. Easy fix.

Hi guys,
I just bought a Nexus 7 2013 Wifi Tablet, 32GB edition.
Used it for a while, and I had a problem with the software keys so I tried to unroot it using SuperSU.
Right after it unrooted, I heard a small 'pop' and a big smudge appeared on the middle of the back side of the device.
Before it happened, I think SuperSU said something about some cores.
Anyway, I don't have any problems yet, but the smudge is still there, and the texture of where it is is very soft and smells burned a little bit.
What happened to my tablet?
Hardware failure. RMA it.

May be the battery failure. Had similiar thing on my diamond2.
Battery were working fine, but if you touch the bump phone always reboots.
Wait...does that mean SuperSU caused it?

Who knows, could be a coincident.
Most likely, your battery is damaged. There isn't much stuff in the middle:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+7+2nd+Generation+Teardown/16072/1
Damaged lipo batteries like to go up in flames. If I were you, I wouldn't recharge it (especially dangerous) and replace it as soon as possible.
What did it say about cores? Was it real hot?
That is too freaky!

Surely if he got through the rooting process then he no longer has any warranty?
Ok, update:
After I had read your replies saying it might be the battery, I tried and recharged it with no problems.
Also, the battery health in the battery monitoring application shows 'good', with normal temperature and the voltage is nominal.
I had no issues whatsoever, not with battery, performance or stability.
Funniest thing- when I woke up and checked the tablet, there was no smudge.
After a few minutes of usage, the smudge reappeared.
Maybe it's just my finger that holds the tablet or something?
I think I panicked without just.

If he can get it on to see the screen he would be able to unroot it and send it in. Smudge or not its better to have a brand new one that works before you go customizing an out of box POS. In my opinion.

I'd consider opening the back of the unit VERY carefully and having a look to check that the battery hasn't failed. You don't want to be regularly charging, discharging, and carrying around with you, a failed Li-ion battery.
I noticed similar smudges around the Nexus logo on my 32GB as well, except I never heard a popping sound. I've been dealing with a bunch of random reboots too. Even stranger, they only seem to happen (as far as I can remember) when its unplugged. I never considered a battery failure before, since it holds a charge and recharges just fine, but there could be something to it. I think its worth looking into a little more.
Definitely a hardware failure. I'm running my N7 at 2.2GHz CPU and 647Mhz GPU with no issues. Battery is obviously an issue, but it hasn't blown up on me, yet.

Actually, I noticed myself that the smudges are perfectly around the Nexus writing.
I mean, like an outline of some sort- but they cover a little bit more.
About the 'pop'- i'm not so sure now it was related to the tablet, as I heard other 'pops' now in my room, probably because of the weather that gets cold during nights here.
I'm not even sure now there is a problem... as I have ZERO issues (the battery is great btw).

The adhesive used to glue the Nexus lettering in is notoriously smudgy so it could be you're seeing that leak out from behind the letters.
If it's charging okay it's probably alright.

I'm inclined to think this^^ is what you are seeing.
I have the 32GB LTE version and the first time I saw the smudge I thought it was a stain it picked up from somewhere. It isnt very visible most of the time and only shows up when wet (sweat?)
Tried rubbing alcohol to remove it - Didn't work. However the smudge showed up very clearly when i wiped the back with alcohol and disappeared as it dried. The pics attached shows this better.

I bought one from new power 99, was getting 10% loss for every hour for the first few months but then it started to go alot faster. They have a 1 year garantee on there batteries so i just wrote them 2 days ago and explained what was happening and they sent me a replacement the day they got my email. It was a little more expensive but definitely worth it. They also told me to just keep the first battery. So i would definitely recommend them . They didn't argue or tell me I'm doing something wrong when I sent the email , they just shipped a new battery out. It comes with all the tools to take tablet apart and was very easy to do.
So my battery is fine except when playing games. It's drops insanely fast. I have a refurbished model and am thinking a new battery should do it. Anyone have that issue and a new battery take care of it?

My battery life is getting much worse, and the tablet is now 2 years old. Looks like time for a new battery here too...
Don't know if I need one yet. I know I leave it on the charger quite often and it seems to drain much faster under load than my refurbished nexus 7 2013, but standby time is much, much longer than my nexus 7. Disassembly also seems like a pain. I don't like that you have to pry on the screen

Like the rest of you, I'm experiencing severe, and rapid drain from my battery. I just bought a brand new OEM battery for my tablet. Hasn't come yet, and I will let you know about any difficulties. YouTube videos make it look like a fairly easy job, and it doesn't look like there's much pressure on the screen while you do it. By the way, just for giggles I decided to check how difficult it would be to access the battery. Take it from me-DO NOT TRY TO PRY THE SCREEN LOOSE! You might lose the power and volume switch caps. Only remove the screen if you need to replace it.
Rather, pull the S Pen from it's socket, and gently pry the back cover loose. From there, follow the directions on YouTube carefully. When you are done, gently reseat the rear cover, and make sure that it's properly seated. You'd never believe that piece of chrome coloured plastic was so important. Sheer Genius!
Well, hope that helps.

i got it from zwxj on Amazon. it was cheap. it was actually very easy to install. there was a small issue though. the cord that connects the battery is a little to long. and the plastic piece at the top isnt exactly correct. i was able to get it in though with minimal effort. they battery lasts forever. the only issue i have and it is a pita is it will randomly shut off when playing a game. doesnt happen all the time and there is no rhyme or reason to when it happens. i need to plug it into the wall and then it will restart with the same battery it shut off from. i could read things all day down to zero and it would never happen. wither way for the 15 bucks or so i spent on the battery it makes the tablet usable again and i love it.

I've bought one from AliExpress with the same issue in the little plastic piece on top so I guess it's from the same manufacturer. Mine constantly turns off. Even updating apps. It seems to be an issue with these batteries.
Also, I feel like it doesn't show the correct percentage. Is there something I should do after replacing the battery for it to show the correct percentage?
One last question and this goes to everyone. Using Ampere, could you please check and tell me whats the average drain in mA?
Thanks!
I use Battery Monitor Widget, included in the 3C Android Toolkit, and samplin battery data in sync with Android to save power. So Standby values should be too high to be representative, 0,05 to 0,2A. Idling with screen on, around 0,6A. Max Load should be over 2A or ten watts. These values should be calculated from the battery voltage instead of the Usb voltage. Attached to a power supply, the Note never seems to drain the battery, so there must be a ten watt power limit, it will simply no longer charge under full load.
Using improper plugs doesn't sound like a good idea, the contacts could get so hot, that the plastic of the plug und socket or the back cover could melt and the contacts could de-solder themselves from the main pcb.
Just ordered a OEM Samsung battery today. Will post when I getvand get it installed. Battery is totally flat on my device.

I had the exact same thing happening with mine after replacing the battery. Check your CPU clocking. If you're on a CM ROM it's probably overclocked & set to 1900MHz. If you set the governor to 1300MHz (which is the factory clocking speed, I think) it should quit shutting down like that. That's what I did and I haven't had it happen even once since. I think the CPU is just overclocked a bit much for the aftermarket battery to handle. Your tablet will run a bit cooler this way too.

I just replaced my battery as the tablet had become unusable. I found the same issue. Only happened once, I also found that I could only charge the device while off, I reseated the charging flex which seemed to correct the unable to charge while on. Now that I think about it, I was on a TW 4.4 rom rooted when it happened, I'll report back with findings.
I contacted Samsung support and they referred me to a distributor of official OEM Samsung parts. Ordered a battery last week. Unfortunately, delivery is in the 2 to 3 week timeframe, as it's coming from overseas. I will let you all know how replacement of it goes.

Seriously?
Words fail me. That takes some doing!

Force reboot is volume up and power at the same time isn't it?
rcoburn, do not laugh at other's problems, if you do not have anything useful to say, please be polite, and say nothing, instead of making fun at others expense, think ways to make yourself useful

There's no reason for the battery failure to affect the cpu unless the heat is in excess of 80C or so. Was the phone really hot or around only 45-50C? If the latter is the case, it could have just been a rogue app loading cpu 100%. Also, was the charge on battery below 80%? The thermal runaway shouldn't happen happen begin below those values, but you never know. Also, make sure that the phone isn't bulging from excessive pressure in the battery...
I'd just like to remind everyone to keep things respectful please.
Thanks!
Just out of curiosity, is this your original or replacement unit?
Either way, it definitely looks like it's signs of a faulty battery. My original unit went to infinite bootloop after shutting off on its own. And when I brought it to a Samsung service centre, they failed to even recover the phone. Going as far as advising me to "take advantage" of the exchange programme to get a "safe" unit.

Its the replacement. I've decided to return it next week now
Don't let others scare you. This isn't a battery problem.
It was very likely the CPU that was getting hot, not the battery. The CPU was processing something at 100% load for a long period of time, naturally, warming it (and the exterior of the phone) up. It took some time to respond to you pressing the power button because the CPU was still processing something else at full load.
So, it was likely the OS or an app that was stuck in a loop, causing all this to happen.
Everyone is so paranoid about the battery exploding that they are ignoring the most likely and most obvious of explanations.
The battery powers your phone, freezing and resetting doesn't really have anything to do with the battery. Could be the processor, software etc.
And outside of MAYBE getting a little hot, I'm pretty sure there's no symptoms of a bad battery before it expands, at least none we can see since the battery is locked inside of the phone.
At this point the speaker could go out and people would scream "IT'S ABOUT TO BLOW!"
Like if you think the Title is actually real funny?

And on that note, I believe that this thread has run its course.
Remember, you are continuing to use a device that has been recalled. You do so at your own risk. As someone who repairs devices for a living, I can tell you that the battery can have an effect on the way your device operates if it is not outputting the proper power. There's a lot of incorrect information in this thread. You have to look at the big picture here, this was a massive recall for a reason. I suggest you heed the warning and return the device.
