Desire shutdown at 13%

Hey,
My desire shutsdown itself at 13%. The Desire HD of my brother shutdown at 0-2%.
Ive tried to reset batterystats but it doesnt help.
What can i do?

Gee, I can't tell.
How about googling about it first?

It was Same on stock rom as i bought it newly (before 1year), it cant be because its old, and Ive calibrated it too, more Tipps i cant find there,

It is a problem with the battery stats. HOWEVER. I've read somewhere (cant remember where ) that even though its an annoying problem. Re-setting the battery stats will not improve battery life. It will give you a more accurate representation but the battery life will stay the same.
Instead of messing around ressetting stats just remember that 13% = dead battery.
just my 2c

Some batteries shut down with 13%, some with 20%, some with 1% and others with something between. As long as you did not notice a strange battery drain, I would just stick with 13% = dead battery (as already mentioned).

Ok, i asked because i thought it isnt normal. Thank its ok.
Thank you

I guess it depends on the battery. I have one that goes almost until 0% and I have another one that holds only until about 11% or so... 13 is not that bad!

My desire did this, except it shut down at around 20%. I just bought a new battery, not even an official HTC one at this fixed it. Now it shuts down at 0-1%.
So basically, its just the battery imo. My battery was about 1 1/2 years old and had seen better days.

Used to have this problem
When I used CM7.0.3 I had this problem, now running LeeDrOiD HD 3.3.3 with Sense 3 and it only shuts down at 2% or less.

i have same problem too

same here
Mine used to do this aswell. Reboot to recovery and clear battery stats? Then full charge and full discharge.
Worked for me at least.

Mythbusters to the rescue.

Like every desire user am having this problem too. I often switch between roms. Even after resetting battery stats my desire dies at 15% battery.

calibrate the battery ****s down at 0% then

I think, you have to reset the Battery Stats. For me it helps!

Lol.
It is not a problem any longer since theGanymedes published his great guide.
Notice how he never mentioned wiping battery stats?

... buit how can i fully discharge the battery if it shuts down at 13 or 20%? even if i restart the phone, it shuts down again

Mine just shut down between 45% - 48%.
Ordered a new one

Same here @ 18%, going to test some methods and inform you

You need to recalibrate the registers in the battery. There is a special program that does that.
Use this howto and it will be fixed.

BTW, you need to have Cyanogenmod or Oxygen installed for this to work or a distro with a kernel that supports it.

CM9 Battery problems

My defy battery has been playing up every cycle now. Tried using battery calibration. Been trying both Quark and Eppy builds. Now on the latest Defy Quark build. Got a green lens defy. Haven't a clue what is wrong.
Nothing explains the massive drops. It always happens around these points every cycle.
Any solutions?

I'm having the same problem with my green lens Defy. When battery is between 40-30% it suddenly drops about a 10-15%.
I haven't been able to found a solution to the problem yet (I have yet to try battery fix, but i think only red lense Defy's need it).
At first i thought it was a battery calibration problem, but after wiping stats everything remained the same way as before (now I know that wiping those stats does absolutely nothing to the battery).
I hope it's a software related problem and not my battery dying.

I think it is ics-based. I experienced after calibration (Hard-battery-script) two drops every circle, 55-49% and 29/26-19%.

Cheers for the information guys. It's good to know I'm not alone. I couldn't find anything on it!
The only things I can relate is that it is on green lens defy's. Maybe...
Is there no solutions for you guys? I found that calibration did nothing too.
How long have you guys had the problem for?

I first found this bug after flashing CM7.2 RC1. After seen it twice, I decided to wipe battery stats but it didn't work.
After that, I flashed CM9 (epsylon build) and was behaving the same way as CM7.
I couldn't tell if this bug was happening on stock Froyo, since it didn't have any kind of battery graph and I wasn't noticing anything suspicious to install a more detailed battery app.

Easy,guys.
Although its battery has these two gaps,
it remains on power which means it lasts longer at every 1% than before when there's no gaps.
I have kept a record when I just purchased defy.
That time is 2.4 hours per 1%(full discharge) mobile(2G) standby,
and now I have these gaps (14% total)as you mentioned,but it lasts 2.8 hours per 1% at first 20% then 2.7-2.5 hours per 1% to the last.
Actually,it is the same amount and this is under 1 year use!

is it my phone or battery
im using cm9.
my original defy suddenly died (got swollen) so i bought 2 new battery from two diff. supplier. (SNn5885A). it charges ok for the first time but i noticed on the first battery when it got drained. it wont charge anymore. it got stuck on 4%. the other battery, not wanting to fully drained it, turned it off at around 50%. but when i tried to turn it on this morning, it got the same thing as the other battery.
the question is, is it my phone f* the battery or they are just no good? how will i know?
thanks

[Q] Battery life has suddenly shortened

Hi I have: HTC Wildfire with CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1
In about the past 2 days my battery life has dropped considerably with the phone not lasting more then 12 hours, as opposed to the previous life of 2-3 days.
I charged it too 100% last night and this morning when I checked it it was at 20%
I have not installed any new apps, my screen usually runs on low brightness and the data connection only running on 2g/Edge and I have changed no settings lately.
I tried a battery stats wipe, no change.

I remember having that problem just after I flashed a new recovery.
It was about 80% before I sleep And when I wake up I find it 55%
I installed Sympfinity kernel and it really improved battery life.
now only 10% (sometimes less) are lost through the night.
Try Sympfinity kernel.

I Flashed CM7.2 RC2 it seems to have fixed the problem.

I advise you to install battery calibration from play store, sometimes after flashing a new rom, battery may be miss-read

tip
the battery life is also affected depending on the time you have automatic update on your phone because if you have updated very often it spends considerably battery not in use so the phone .. hechale a look at this and help us a lot of your battery greetings

Welll i used to have a similar problem on my wildfire,so i downloaded power max and used it on standard mode and used Go power master with autoswtching and other stuff...just before exchanging it for a Nexus, i had the battery to last around 40 hours with 5 hours of browsing, 3 hours of listening to music and 2 hours of gaming with heavy use of whatsapp and texting and 30-40 minutes of calling...previously my battery use to last only 10 hours...hope this will help you...you can also go up to ebay and buy an extended battery for just Rs.960 which is 3000mah...cheaper than the original smaller battery....link to the extended battery http://www.ebay.in/itm/3000MAh-Exte...4-HTC-Wildfire-G8-/140533335447#ht_1453wt_907

Battery died overnight at 70%

I searched all over trying to find a similar situation, but I couldn't, so I'm starting a new thread.
My HTC One X is a little over a month old and so far I haven't had any major battery issues.
I charged my phone to full yesterday (during the day) and when I went to sleep it was in the 90% range.
As you can see in the attachment, around 6 am the phone completely shut off. It went from 70 to 0% battery in a matter of seconds. I plugged it back in this morning and it's been charging fine.
It doesn't seem to be a temperature issue either. I'm really at a loss for what could have caused this issue. Any advice?

I've had my one x since the US release date and mine has done this to me about 10 times now. My phone is always charged before I go to bed and I always kill all running programs on the task manager before bed. It's a real pain when you wake up in the morning and check the time, find your phone is dead, and see that you have overslept your alarm. 1st world problem I know but this is a huge pain when it happens. I'm pretty tired of it.tempted to see if I can trade up for an SIII. Btw, mine did this for the 1st time the 2nd night I had the phone. My old BB could go to sleep on low battery and it wouldn't die overnight.
Maybe the phone is looking for updates? Maybe lte is the issue?

I am having the same issue for two nights in a row now. Last night, the phone had 50% battery, and I turned off almost everything, wifi, data, most of applications. The phone still died this morning. I called HTC support today, and they said if you leave the phone in sleep mode with 50%, it won't last until the next day. I had my phone a little over a month. I am going to fully charge tonight, and see if it dies over night again.

Hello all! I am having the same problem too. I can have the phone in my pocket at school from 9am-9pm during a normal day and with some light usage, have the battery last the whole time. However if I use the phone in bed while falling asleep, get tired and lock the phone with like 70% battery, it will be dead in the morning. If I look at the battery usage graph, it too shows an instant 70%-0% battery change. Is it a battery conditioning problem? Meaning that the phone is not able to properly gauge the battery's current level of charge and thinks it still has 70% left but then just dies?

Couldn't see pics on my HOX. My ides wouldn't mean much. I sorry guys.

I think this is a more serious problem. I charge my phone over night.
Slept in this morning because because my battery died overnight.
It was on charge. How does the battery die.
Pressing power did nothing
Held for ten secs to force reboot
it booted up and showed 0% and started charging normally
Wtf

Sorry about reviving this thread but this happened to me 3 times now.. I have an S4 HTC One X but have the same problem. Had the issue on both a custom from and on stock. Is there a known fix for this?

this happened to me too. about five times. i charge my phone to full just before i sleep and unplug it when i decide to sleep only to wake up with the phone dead(and I am late for work). I always make sure I close apps every night before I sleep. But ever since I updated my phone to 2.17, I have had nothing but buttery smoothness and 16-22hrs of battery life.

This is my second One X. It happens to me about once a week. Everything is great and suddenly battery charge is dropping like crazy. There's nothing running in the background that would trigger this behavior. My first phone worked great but one day just died and would never power on again.

battery weird fail/very fast discharge

Hey all,
I have the wildfire running with a stable CM nightly (forgot exact version, but already a good year old I think and never any problem with the battery). I have not recently done anything special with my phone (no new radio, ROM, updates, new apps, ...) but since a week or two I have the following problem:
Charging the phone takes first of all ages to reach 100%. And when it's charged, it will crash about 4 hours later. The battery indicator will be at about 35% or higher just before it crashes (thus not at 0). When I reboot (while charging after the crash) however, it says 0 or 1% left. When I then go to the settings -> about phone -> battery , the battery life just INSTANTLY drops from about 60% to zero (see picture)
This problem appeared pretty out of nowhere. Is this a battery calibration problem, or do you guys think the battery is just at the end of its life? I'm aware that this could just be it since the phone is almost 3 years old (bought on day of release here), but it's just acting so strange.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Maarten

Try the two obvious things
1- wipe dalvik cache and cache partition
2-wipe battery stats
Can you post a screenshot os the battery usage screen

The level indicator is in the first post, the usage (apps etc) I cannot do right now as after wiping it does not reboot anymore (stuck at HTC screen), but it was about 50% for signal and 50% for standby (or what are the 2 largest users in %, I forgot)

Wipe battery stats or manually delete batterystats.bin. Calibrate it. If nothing works reflash your rom. Not a battery prob.

Odp: battery weird fail/very fast discharge
I had similar situation. Change battery. It is broken probably.

There seems to be many battery problems for wildfire, I had to abandon mine because of a similar problem, except it would charge to 100% but then drop to 4% within a few hours and wiping battery cache never helped, tried my battery in another wildfire no problems so in the end I gave up with it
But I remember someone saying it was something damaged inside the phone
Anyway good look with your issue hope it gets solved.

I fixed my booting problem by reflashing the ROM. I also wiped cache/dalvik and battery stats.
The problem remains however. Stays around 100 pretty long, then goes to 80% in less than an hour. And then it crashed around something like 60%. After rebooting it said 34% left.
Guess the only thing else I can try is to completely empty the battery, then recharge it whilst the phone is off.
I'm going to buy a new smartphone soon, so it better just work another month !

Yea, wipe battery stats again, sue ur phone till its 0% and charge up to 100%, keep on charging for about 20 mins.. try then if battery shoes properly..

Doesn't seem to solve it... Completely emptied the battery (or at least I'd think it is empty, see further), then charged for like 8 hours whilst phone is off, then wiped battery stats in recovery. Then after rebooting first thing it did was crashing again.
The crashes often seem to be related with internet/apps. I now have internet and poweramp app off and it works fine (no crashes), but when I turn these on, sometimes after a minute it crashes, pretty weird
Also after some crashes, about 15 minutes later I can suddenly reboot, then it showed 15%, then it crashed again. After reboot (without any charging) it showed 65%... The indicator is completely ****ed up it seems...
Guess there is nothing to do but getting a new phone as this is too annoying. Thanks for the help though !

Batt voltage meter defect
I have a exacly same problem.
It is the voltage meter problem. Mine wildy shows 4.07V at fully charged battery which if you measure conected battery on its terminals mulitimiter shows 4.273 so its off by 0.2V. Now the phone will never light green led, it think battery is not charged fully. I checek this with 4 years old and new original htc batts. Same thing, voltage meter defect! If you charge it to full, multimeter shows 4.237V on batt terminals,reboot it and get a spike to 92% it suddenly drops to 78% even though mains charger is still connected and charging! Internal Volt meter also reads dorp from 4.07 to 4.02! :crying:
There i also thread on Desire Z forums of same thing happening here.
Is this HTC using crappy mobo components?

Htc wildfire is no more released now. It stopped in 2010. This has the answer. That is one of the bug with wildfire.
