I believe it is a moisture indicator and turns red/pink when it comes into contact with moisture. its used for warranty purposes.

Well, that indicator haw nothing to with your battery.
Stop worrying about the battery.
If your phone had came un contact with liquid, and if you find any problem with your phone, then take it to a service centre.

You need to calibrate your battery.
Charge it fully and allow it to drain till the phone switches off. Then charge again.
You can also check the battery capacity in service menu.

You lost your network connection, while phone try to reach it it use a way lot of energy..and heat slightly increase..
My phone was working fine, but now this is my battery usage. I have restarted twice and it still shows like this.
Plus my CPU has been running for 248 days or something.
(Guess my pics didn't upload)
The battery is showing android os as 100% off my battery usage.

Alright, I'm a noob, I was with you up to reboot your device. "Go to recover and delete battery stats" was where you lost me. Maybe some more detail or a hint on where I can look to learn about it would be super helpful. Thanks.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Are you rooted at all? Installed any custom recovery? i.e. CWM or TWRP. You need to have installed a custom recovery to delete battery stats.
As for the android OS usage, that's very weird. Try searching it up on google and see if any results pop up. You could delete battery stats but not sure if that'll help. If you'd like to know how though, let me know.
If u r rooted and dnt have a recovery, download a app called 'sdmaid' frm store, and u wil get an option of delete bat stats!
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Not rooted, yet, but plan to add I learn more. Well full charge tonight and see if it clears. If not, will search for similar issues as you suggested. Thanks.

I had that happen to me when I first bought the phone. Was terrified I would have to return it. Just charge it to 100% and reset it. No reason to put it in recovery or anything. That fixed it for me.

Ok so I used this guide here to update my Ion L28AT and when I did it it started going from dead to after a minute of charging to having a full battery. I said ok it must be buggy so I restored to a stock w/ root version and the problem persists. Didnt happen before I started this whole mess. Maybe I left something behind on the prior install?
And is there a guide for a 100% reset and install? Like wipe then entire fire and all sdcards...
I just restored with Sony Software and reinstalled backup/restore apks from ganeshbiyer at this link
Then I installed battery cailbrator from the play store. So far it is looking good. Will keep you guys informed.
And nope did the same thing.
2 days and no one has any ideas?

Well i mailed it back to Sony for repair. 2 weeks they say. Admins please delete this thread of unhelpfulness.
Ahhh shoot I wish I had seen this earlier! I had the same problem after flashing Smooth Ion. It has something to do with entering CWM with low battery and then draining a considerable amount while flashing. What worked for me was downloading a battery calibration app and then charging until the voltage showed 4190V (max for our phones) and then hitting calibrate. Sorry I didn't see this earlier!

Hello guys,
I'm having issues with my battery when using the same ROM more than 2 days. I explain myself, my problem is after a complete battery cycle (from 100% to 1% then charging...) my battery drains drasticaly (look at the screenchot). I did a reboot and it dropped from 95% to 30%. It happens to me on these ROMs (Rootbox, Carbon, SlimBean, Illusion...) I use KT kernel and sometimes BMS but same result. So i dunno if the problem comes from the ROMs or the kernels... I will look further into better battery stats to see which app is causing this.
Thanks for helping and sharing your stats !

I would try a full cycle or two with the stock kernel.
Or if you want to go one step further. Backup everything, nandroid and Odin back to stock and try a full cycle on that.

You could install Wakelock detector, [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en] maybe its some crazy thing that eating battery.
Try using intellidemand as your governor on kt kernel, i was having problems like you until I used that governor.
Hope this gets resolved

After two or three charge cycles if your battery problem persists, it's most likely an app draining your battery. Or worse yet, your battery is shot.

I had the same problem with an Xperia Z. I tried all the tricks in the book but the problem persisted.
Ended up taking phone to the retailer. The problem was a faulty battery.
Either your phone's battery is dead, or the battery is not calibrated correctly
