Battery draining while charging.

Help. For the past couple weeks, my batterys been complete ****. When I'm using my phone while charging, the battery life is draining. Also charging is super slow. Auto data sync is off, GPS,Bluetooth off, brightness in the middle, light apps. Idk what's wrong. Before, battery would last the whole day, but now id get lucky to even last half the xay. All this started to happen when I installed a 4.2.2 ROM and Odin back to 4.1.1 and restore backup. Idkkk. Oh and I also noticed the battery bar indicator is displaying it wrong. Like its at 49%, but the battery bar is filled 3/4th.

Try different usb cables and consider investing in a new battery.

Open a file manager like Root Explorer and go to /data/system and find the file "batterystats.bin"
delete that file. (be sure to change the attributes of the file to read & write - by default it's read only)
The phone will recreate it automatically on next boot.
By doing this the battery bars in the statusbar will reflect the battery condition a lot more accurately.
Also by using the AC wall charger instead of the computer's usb will charge the phone 20% faster.
Good Luck!

Uhhh...I think you answered your own question...problem started when you installed new ROM. Ftlog people just stop rooting your phones and live with factory stock ROM. 99% of all complaints on this forum are due to custom ROMS.

You're funny.

@Chris, from my understanding and personal experience of using custom ROMs the only way that a major problem could occur when moving from custom back to stock (or modified stock) is if either (a) there is an issue with the download itself; or (b) if the person didn't do a wipe (full or dalvik cache) during the install process; or (c) the ROM installed is not built for the person's phone. So don't paint all ROMs with the same brush.

Well try to wipe all data.
On the stock 4.3 i`m averaging 4h30m display time with 18h of up-time and 15% battery left.
I have: H+ on all the time, WIFI on all the time and location based on WiFi, auto-brightness on max level, Sync on.
Some app may be draining your battery or the battery may be close to it's death.

I tried wiping and factory reset, then I am not only on plain vanilla stock rom and whatsapp and chrome that's all.. I am having problems even with my zero lemon 9300mah Battery that is draining too fast I used to get 3-4 days easily but now it does last even one day.. Also my h+ disconnects and takes time to connect once I switch on the screen.. Any suggestions as to what can be done is it that the Handset motherboard might have messed up?

: Go to settings> data usage> press the menu button of your phone and tick the restrict background data. That's it! You will have a triangle notice on your notification bar but your problem will be solved. I hope it works for you too. If it does not work completely to your satisafaction also disable the great battery drainer Google+. It is usually the main reason for the drain among others.

Plz help me friends, Thnx in advance

Help! Random shut down and battery issues

I'm experiencing sudden shut downs when I take a picture with my phones camera, especially if the flash is used. It just turns off without warning.
The battery has also started to suddenly drop a lot in percentage sometimes , and yesterday phone just turned off at around 20%, because battery was apparently empty....
Could this be a faulty battery or software problem? I'm using stock Rom and stock kernel. And have never had any problems before

Factory reset if it doesn't work, warranty service..

Same problem here, phone shuts down at 20-30% when LTE is on; after restart it shows 0%.
I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the battery

I had that problem too, but after update my custom rom that problem don't occure anymore. I haven't check it with almost empty battery, maybe I'll try it soon..

Am I the only one who thinks that is pretty strange this issue being reported a lot of times lately ? I didnt have issues with my battery before, but now I have the exact same problem with the flashlight. But when I use an app of flashlight the phone doesnt turn off...

Shutdown
Hey
I'm having the same problem but my phone shuts down at 40% and won't start again. I have got a new battery and done a factory reset, but nether has worked. The phone is 3 years old, so change the system won't be a problem with the warranty.

Did you perform a factory reset after the upgrade? If not, backup and try that first as I have no issues with battery life on Lollipop. Also, make sure the apps you use are up-to-date as it might be one of them not playing nice with 5.0 yet...

same issue here...im stock and unrooted. I dont think greenify can do much. Phone heats up more than before and thus causes more battery drainage... i guess unless we roor the phone, we are stuck with this, or unless there is a software update from htc to fix the issue

I'm with EddyOS on the factory reset. I'd do that, but probably through hboot. I'm running lollipop slightly overclocked with a fairly aggressive custom kernel and I'm not dealing with any heat or undue battery drain. Battery life is actually better than kitkat. I'm running a radically debloated ROM, too, but even on a simply rooted stock ROM with a stock kernel I didn't have such issues.

Thanks for all. Now my HTC One_M8 battery working for automatically after 3 days of update.

I can tell you that it's down to apps and cpu.... I took update from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 ... consumption was massively increased (15-20 mins lost around 10% battery power) ....later ran tr/towelroot/sunshine apps and if I left them running longer I'd have had a new room heater
Turn off after an update, see if that clears it up first, if it continues then do a factory reset

I've had a similar problem since I got the lollipop update, my battery seems to die at somewhere between 20 and 15% and the phone will turn off. Sometimes it will come back on sometimes it won't. I thought a factory reset would do the job so I ended up flashing AR HD (a factory reset was a good enough reason to move away from stock) and its happened again. Anyone any uses what could be causing it?

phone won't turn on without charger plugged..

Hello everyone i got an Optimus g pro e980 with a custom rom downloaded from here ( i had the same problem on original firmware.. )
if i pull battery out for example or simply just turn off the phone.. i'm not able to boot it again without plugging the charger and wait for the battery charge icon..
i think the battery has some problems as.. sometimes.. form 68% when i turn off the phone it shows 10% or lower...
i also have some random reboots some times.. it may be the battery?.. screen also flickered for a minute but not has gone .. thank you.

Which ROM are you using? Screen flickering can be fixed by turning off the hw overlay in the developer's options. As for the battery, try get a calibrating app from the play store, else get a battery repair app to see if your battery can be fixed. My OEM battery is broken, which causes random reboot since it supplies power intermittently.

Your battery is probably dead if it looses capacity like that, replace it as soon as possible.

Can't tell about random reboots if no logs, can be anything with this phone. Mine likes to reboot because network changed from LTE to H+, or just out of sheer 'I wanna mess with my owner, for no reason at all' Because annoying the owners with bad temper is good for business
For screen flickering - do as hawkwind212 said, or try with other ROMs (I'm guessing you're using CM if you suffer from those)

Stock rom xD .. also tried using a custom rom... i tried using a 1200 mAh and force the phone turn on... and.. it worked.. so the problem may be the battery.. and not the phone idk tho...

i wanted to know if the motherboard from other models (98x) it would fit with my current model.. i mean.. the touchscreen and other things.. to work properly.. some people said that any 98x version would work but idk ...
