Hi.
Since two weeks ago, whenever the battery indicator is at about 50%, my phone suddenly shuts down without any warning, without any shutting down boot animation. I noticed my phone's battery is also swollen, but only a bit, not enough for the back case to be curvy.
The question is, should I replace my battery? I'm using F.A.W ROM, in case you want to know.
Yes, you should replacing your battery immediately. I have the same problem like you, but already solved by replacing with the new battery.

Hi all
I've bought 2 Desire HD batteries (1210mah IIRC) and they work just fine on their own.
I can't manage to keep alive my phone after replacing one with another (charged), though, since the phone believes the battery charge is 0%. I know this is an error, since I can always plug the phone and check with an handful of apps.
This actually means that I can't switch from a dying battery to a charged one if I don't have access to a USB socket!
If I have to guess, I'd say the phone is not deleting batterystats when I swap the batteries.
Any idea? I'm running CodefireX JB nightlies.
Have been noticing the same behavior! Would like to know if anyone knows a solution..

Actually I did found a workaround, kinda. After a first boot-automatic shutdown, this morning I booted in recovery, then I wiped batterystats (although I don't know how that could help). After a reboot it shat down again automatically, and then it worked.
I'd guess it just take some time to read the correct mV value. So basically you could leave your phone sitting in recovery for like 5 minutes and then reboot. Or, you know, just fratically reboot until it works. That's my plan anyway.
Meh.
That is a known issue with batteries other than the original HTC battery. Since I'm used to have a sensation battery, I ought to bring along portable charger whenever I can in long trips. There is no other way other than plugging it in charger or just hoping that it would boot up with a lil bit of luck.

It makes sense. I had to reboot the phone after a full charge (unrelated issue) and then it happened again. I tried my luck; after three reboots the phone got it right. It should be enough having the phone sitting in recovery mode for like 5 minutes. When it shows a valid percentage it's good to go!
This happens to me almost daily. All you have to do is restart the phone maybe twice... nothing else. I used to think i had to plug it in as well. Nope just restart it, if it shows 0 percent again it'll die, restart again, bam 100 percent.

Hello Friends,
I have a year Xperia Ion phone. Recently I have got a problem with the battery of this phone.
A week back the battery status was never going below 100% but will shut off after certain amount of usage. I did not bother as I was able to use the phone normally but only the battery status was a problem. However the problem got more serious. Here is what happened and what I tried:
- A day back phone got switched off and the battery was never going above 1% upon restart, even when it was on charging
- I tried hard restart (holding volume up button + power button). After this it was showing increase in percentage when plugged in for charge and reached 100%. I thought the problem is resolved but not.
- Everytime I unplug phone from charging, battery drops down to 1% immediately and shuts off
- I did service test (by dialing some long numbers) of the phone and it says battery is good and no need to replace it. I assumed there is not hardware issue.
- I had no otherway but to try out battery calibration after rooting- I rooted my device, used 'Battery calibration' app. Charged up till it says 100% and did the calibration. It showed calibration success. I unplugged it from the charger again just to find that the same issue again.
I really do not know what to try now. My phone is just out of warranty (I bought this in another country during a visit). I am ready take paid service if that would solve, but I really appreciate a promising solution or suggestion for this issue.
This phone means a lot for some reason. Thanks in advance for your helpful thoughts!
Note: I found a similar thread where they talked about replacing battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450884 I am not sure if this is the same case as that of mine. If so how to replace the built-in battery for Ion.

Every time I plug it in charge only after it goes off and then I turn on. Do you suggest to charge it to 100% while the phone remains in off state?

Hello
I have bought S4 mini a couple months ago. And after some time phone goes off suddenly. It goes off even when the battery is fully charged. I did hard reset, uninstalled all apps i have downloaded, but still phone goes off. And also there are no periods of time when it turns off. It could be after 3 days (from last turn off), or after 1 day, or 1 or 2 weeks. Please help if anyone had same issue or know how to fix it.
Or maybe there is an app which can monitor all work of the phone, and which program or function turns it off?

If you take out the battery and place it on a flat surface and try to spin it... the battery shouldn't do more than your forces velocity in rotations. If it spins like a breakdancer it's time to replace and recycle that battery cause its no good.
Now if it doesn't spin then it most likely is not your battery but maybe your power button. just my input... hope it helps
Thanks for a quick respond. The battery seems to be ok.
Will wait for more answers.

Hi, my phone is the same. 4th battery and no difference. Will swich off completely randomly. No one seems to know what the problem is or how to fix it but after suffering this for 6 months I am certain it is to do with the battery terminals. I have tried to manipulate the terminals with some success but ultimately it eventually switches off again. There is hardly any info or actual cure for this on the net but it is a real problem with these phones.
So I bought 2 of these 3000mah replacement batteries so I could do quick swapping instead of charging my phone daily. First issue I had was bootlooping when restarting the phone. It would take 5-10 restarts and wipes to get it to boot to lock screen without just turning off. When it turned off I couldn't use the power button, had to constantly do a battery pull. Now I've discovered that when using the batteries and clicking a picture with stock camera the phone shuts down immediately as well. Using the stock battery and these issues don't happen at all, ever. Contacted the company and getting 2 replacements sent but wanted XDA user feedback on this. Could this be a voltage issue due to cheap manufacturing? I've never had a battery itself cause software glitches but they are definitely the root cause.
This issue is somehow weird. When I do something with my phone for a while, my phone just turns off suddenly. It doesn't really power down, it is just off. Then I remove the battery and put it back, turn on the phone. Sometimes it boots successfully, sometimes it doesn't. The phone is bootable and works reliably when it is plugged in. I've tried flashing some ROMs but the issue still occurs. I don't know whether there is something wrong with battery or mainboard. I accidentally increased voltage for my Gnex via Trickster mod some days ago. I think this is the reason causing this problem.
Could you please give me some advice? Thanks.
Try to use another battery. I had the exact same problem for a while after the phone started to heat around the camera part. Try to get an app that says ur cpu temperature. If it shuts down when you do more serious thing on it like watching youtube or browsing the internet, then its 100% a battery problem.
