[Q] Weird Battery Drain With Camera - HTC One X

Hello, I have just bought the One X for 2 days and I have noticed a strange problem of battery. Every time I turn on the camera the battery immediately lower by 3 percents, even if I turn it on and then exit within 1 second, the amount of draining is still 3%. That's crazy. Does anyone have this problem or know the possible solution? Thankz I'm at the 1.29 build

whatever i do my battery drains from 100-60 quick but 60-0 slow as i get 4-5hrs screen time. I dont pay attention to the % drop because it doesnt seam right. What screen time are you getting thats more important.

[Q] Battery Problem on my new Note 3!

Welcome! I've got Galaxy Note 3 for 3 days and i'm not satisfied about battery life. I read that it is possible to work on one charging even 3 days! I can work on my max 8h!!! I've got wifi/bt off, battery saver mode on, screen bright on auto and -5, only gsm (not LTE), no sync, no facebook app. When i'm working on my phone i can easily see how battery is discharging When the battery is full and after 10 usage i've got 90% without doing nothing special. Is my battery broken? shoud i use warranty?
You got some app going crazy or something. I get apps that hang sometimes and will kill my battery in a day. Lately ive been paying attention and trying to kill apps that are uselessly draining and ive only used a third of my battery in 24 hours. Just gotta hunt the problem down.
Regardless, its probably just software and not the phone itself.

The Battery Drastically Drained in seconds!

Hi guys. Im new here. I just wanna share about my Z1 compact latest battery problem kinda frustrated me lately.
I bought the phone 2-3 months ago, already with Android Lollipop 5.0.2. Since the purchase, I didnt really face a problem with the battery life as it lasted about 12 hours per charge due to my heavy usage of the phone.
But a few days lately, my phone being worrying me as the battery doesnt being as normal as always. For example, it can drain the battery drastically from 88% to 67% in a few seconds when the screen is off (in standby mode). Sometimes, in the middle of the usagefrom 39%, the phone suddenly shows the battery low warning with a 1% battery remaining, and without having enough time to reach the charger, it shuts down by itself.
In rare cases, I caught my phone drained the battery drastically when the screen is still on from 15% to 1% less in a minute.
The phone wasnt rooted and I didnt anything else besides my daily normal usage. The latest apps I downloaded before the problem occurred is Waze.
I tried everything to save the battery like using the Stamina Mode, force stops some apps, slides away all of the running apps in the background but failed. I even factory reset my phone and installed all the apps the way it used to be but still didnt solved the problem.
I still have about 8 monts of Sony warranty but I need you guys help first because I need to use my phone for work right now. Please help and reply.
Thank you. *Sorry if my English isnt that good*
When the battery jumps from 39% to 1%... Does it stay a long time at 39%? Or from 39 to 1 in few minutes?
Just curious...
Sounds like a warranty issue to me. You could try to find out what is causing heavy drain like with BetterBatteryStats. But no app ever should cause such drains.
Sound more like your battery is not okay.

The exactly same problem with me .I have 100% battery and indicator stays 100% for a half hour than drastically drains to 1% and shuts down.
Change your battery! I had the same Problem. I changed my battery with anotherone original from Sony, but a few weeks later the same Problem: quickly battery drain.
So I ordered me a battery from e-bay but NOT one from Sony! Now a few weeks later still NO Problems. Everything runs Ok now. NO battery drain at all.

The screen kill the battery..

Hi. I have note 2 n7100 with stock rom of BTU ver. 4.4.2.
In Last months the battery life down and I was try to buy a new one. Original. But it not help too much.. I tried to find what the problem and I think that is the screen. But why?
If I am doesn't using in the device or little use. Is is stay on 70% approx on night. Its good. But using in screen. Kill the battery after a 2.5 hours.. The surprise is that it's same if I'm using in browser or play in asphalt..
In past the device survive up to 6 screen hours. After the update to kitkat it's up to 5 hours. But now its very short time..
I tried to check with the built in and with external apps what using the power. The screen first at all.. Sometimes the asphalt 8 too if I am using him. . Doesn't found something else.
The brightness is very low. Approx 30%.. Sometimes less..
So what can be the problem?. Any reason can to be for the screen to loss power?
are you sure you've bought the original battery?
try to turn off wifi, data, gps, bluetooth for 1 night and see if the results are better
Yes. Its original..
If the screen off. And have basic use. The battery performance is good.. The problem is with screen time
Even I was thinking of buying an original battery from the service center. My battery charges to 100% very fast and discharges equally fast. I'm thinking the battery capacity has decreased dramatically. Screen on time is about 3 hours at minimum brightness. The screen has also has a yellowish tint (maybe burnt in a bit). After reading this I'm having second thoughts on whether to go for the replacement battery on simply buy a new device. My phone is almost 2and a half years old now.
Maybe it's time to change the device if it's faulty, but I would also check you are logged out of any apps and you could try using Battery Doctor and see how quickly the battery drains if you don't use the device after `optimizing' with Battery Doctor.
I am doesn't think that the battery is the problem..
If I am not using the screen. The battery performance is good..
And its not problem with this model. In past it was approx 4~6 screen hours..
Just update.. Its was the battery..
I replaced it in phonix battery and now its battery.
Approx 4 screen hours. 1 from the in games. Its fine..

Help! Battery problems

I have a HTC One M8 that I bought during June 2014. Right now my battery life is awful.
Recently, my phone always powers off even when it haven't reach 0%. I did try a lot of battery calibration method but didn't help much.
Only recently, when the phone dies suddenly, if I tried to power it back on the screen flickers , the whole display, regardless whether it is plugged in or not. This has happened twice. But once the battery is fully charged the flicker is gone and draining the battery won't cause it to flicker. It seems like its the LCD panel flickering but not the backlight. The LCD does looks normal tho.
Not only so, when the phone is about under 25% battery left, the camera start to have artifact. It becomes worst as the battery level decrease.(imgur:DwF1KcY)(had to do this as this is my first account) If the battery level is low enough (can't specify cuz it varies), taking a picture will cause the phone to power down. All of these issue without using flash.
My typical usage will yield me about 2:30 to 3 hours of SOT. Mostly youtube and google chrome. Using stock sense or marshmallow GPE rom does not make much of a difference.
So what can I do? My guess is replace the battery but it seems like NO ONE in the internet has encountered these problems.

That sounds like a defective battery. If the phone is still under warranty, get it in for a repair.

Battery and fingerprint issues

Hi everyone,
I bought the phone on December from Gearbest and I have some issues. First of all the most important one, battery. For some days I've been noticing a very strange behavior, the battery might seem charged at 100% but may turn off at 60%. Also noticed that while charging it goes from 7% to about 34% within half an hour or less, then suddenly goes up to about 60%. I can't be sure anymore if the phone will last when I'm out. Also, sometimes when entering the battery menu, it says it has no available battery data and the diagram only shows it's current battery percent. What can I do to determine if it's an issue with the battery or the charger? Is there a way to calibrate the battery?
Secondly, the fingerprint issue I've had since day 1 but I thought it might be a software problem that an update would fix but that didn't help. I've never added a fingerprint because at the "add a finger" screen the graphic appears but won't recognise any move, after a bit the whole screen freezes and I push the home button to go back.
Any suggestions? I was so unlucky with this order and it was my first Chinese phone...next time I think I'll stick to the large brands...
