Hello All
Im powering down my phone at night (quick boot enabled) & when i wake up in the morning the battery is completely drained. There is normally at least half a charge left before i power down.
This has only just happened the past few days. The phone is around 2 months old.
Any ideas ? Has my battery become faulty ? Should i return the phone ?
Thanks.
Sounds like a hardware fault probably the battery. How did you charge the phone normally?
Try taking the battery out, see if it loses charge after same amount of time.

I agree with sengork.
Powerdown should use only a few microamps.

Thanks for the reply
I normally charge via the mains, occasionally via usb.
Its only the last couple days its happened.
Will try taking the battery out at night & see what happens.
Normally charged the battery whilst the phone was off?

How i charge my phone varies - sometimes i will charge via the mains with either the phone still on or off at night, sometimes with the phone on via usb. I've never had a problem with regards to charging the battery.
I always turn the phone off at night (with quick boot enabled as i said) but the past 2 days, with the battery at least half full, the battery has completely drained by the morning.
Hi,
Try with and without fast boot and see if you yield any different results, I would tend to leave fast boot off if your leaving it off for a prolonged amount of time as the phone doesn't completely shut down.
Also there could be an app draining it too, so u could get autostarts and kill any unwanted apps from starting up when certain criteria are met, like when you switch your screen off, some apps are activated, i know kakao chat does that, even if it doesn't help the prob it's still a good app to have to kill apps from starting when you don't want them.
Let us know how u get on.
PS: Are you using an overvolted kernel ? Maybe knock it down to stock to see if that helps, just to test and then knock it back up when you know what the problem is.
This happened to me on my old phone. Turned out to be a problem with a torn USB cable
Well, took the battery out last night before bed with half power remaining & this morning...re inserted battery & no change at all - so i guess the battery is not faulty.
I am planning on turning off fast boot tonight, powering down the phone & see'ing what sort of state the battery is in tomorrow morning.
Thanks all for the replies so far.

I was having almost the exact same problem. Phone seemed to drain about 30 - 40 % overnight ( with phone off - fastboot on ).
Anyway I turned off Fastboot and switched off the phone and went to bed last night with about 20% battery and woke up this morning and still had 20%.
I'm not sure how Fastboot is supposed to work but turning it off seems to have solved the problem. It's not really a big loss anyway.
Thanks.
Interesting thread.
What are the benefits of fastboot anyway?
I never had it on my Hero and haven't tired it on my DHD as I've been too busy flashing ROMs since I got it!
Where can I switch of fast boot? I'm on stock rom 1.72. Searched my phone but no luck in finding it...

Other than stating the obvious ( i.e. the phone boots faster ) I don't think there is any other advantage. I think it is sort of similar to putting your computer ( if you are using Windows ) into Hibernate rather than shutting down completely.
Anyway there obviously was some sort of conflict with another app as a friend ( and many other users I'm sure ) with a Desire HD uses Fastboot without any overnight battery drain. Anyway I can live without it ( didn't have it on my last phone - a Motorola Milestone ).
It is odd that the battery drained more when the phone was off overnight than it would have done being left on overnight ( just with the screen off doing nothing ).
Anyway as I said - no big deal - and I certainly can't be bothered to uninstall each app one by one until I find the one responsable.
Cheers.
Haha, yeah a faster boot time was the obvious one but I was wondering if that was all.
I have it unticked anyway, and very rarely ever turn my phone off.
Anyway, I hope you manage to fix your problem

Thanks - as I said above turning off Fastboot seems to have fixed the issue for me. I'm too lazy (!) to find out what about leaving Fastboot on caused the battery drain but as it is a feature I can live without I'll just live with the mystery!!
Cheers.
Ok so I've had the GS2 for a week now and i think its amazing. But, I've noticed sometimes when i charge it it shut off completely and does not charge. (via ac and also usb) I have to take out the battery and put back in and then it charges again. Is this a bad battery or is it a phone issue?
I haven't had that problem at all.

that is very weird
it should charge even when the phone is completely off
or when it goes to sleep mode
i'll suggest trying to do a Factory Format and see if that problem persist
it might be a software bug
Battery charge indicator 2.3.5 upgrade problem
Hello everyone.This is my first time come to xda-developers form.I'm from china.
Yesterday I update my wildfire S(China mainland Edition)to 2.3.5+Sense3.0 lockscreen(Taiwan Edition)'s ROM.
I charge my bbttery yesterday evening.I turn off my phone.
When charge compalate.I found that the LED light didn't change green.It was still orange.
Why?How to solve it?
PS:Maybe my post have some Grammar problem。I hope that you can Bear with it.
Try factory reset see if it helps.
Backup important information and personal stuff first.
Just try the procedure of taking the battery out, sim card, micro sd etc etc and see if that works...
are you using the stock battery?
i used to notice with my (so called) extended battery 2430mah Gold battery, the software would say it was 100% charge, but it stayed orange for around another hour or two, then eventually turned green...i assume this is because the phone software had misjudged the charge level...so although it THOUGHT it was 100% full, it was actually still charging?
so if you have changed the battery at all, leave it charging for a bit longer (only an hour or so) and see if it goes out?
should be safe, as the batteries themselves usually have an auto shut off safety to stop them from being over-charged.
I get the exact same on ALL custom ROMs, never on Stock though, would love a fix!

Since I unlocked my phone's bootloader, rooted and installed custom recovery I have the same problem too.
If I charge the battery with the phone turned on, the led turns green at 100% and everything is fine.
If I charge the battery with the phone off, the led stays orange forever even when I disconnect the charger. Then I have to remove the battery and insert it again so that the led turns off. If I wait enough time charging the battery reaches 100%.
This is a strange sympton that only started with the rooting/recovery flashing process.
Oh and BTW the way, I use stock battery but now I'm waiting for the arrival of two batteries I ordered on eBay.
One is a Li-Ion 1500 mAh and the other a Li-Polymer 2430 mAh.
Will see if the same happens when they arrive but I'm almost 100% sure this has something to do with the bootloader unlocking process.
Does anybody know how to fix this? I would really appreciate it.

I for example left my phone charging for 8 hours (during the night) beyond the normal charge time. And the worst is that I have to remove the battery in order to turn off the orange led and be able to turn on my phone...

have you try to wipe battery stats in recovery mode?
perhaps this will help, although I had not previously encountered a similar problem

Same as, pain in the arse!
Great news! At least on my phone this problem is gone.
You wonder how? Simply by updating recovery to v5.0.2.8 from ROM Manager.
I almost didn't notice it it but a few hours ago I plugged my phone to the charger while still on. After finishing my work I turned it off (no fastboot).
In the meanwhile I needed to use my phone far from the wall plug and disconnected the usb charger cable.
My gesture was to immediately remove back cover to remove the battery but fortunately I noticed the orange led went off.
So I decided to plug it again and wait for the charge to complete and for the green led. It did!
So run to the Market, download ROM Manager and let it update your recovery to the latest version.
I hope this annoying pest won't bother you no more.

thanks, i will definitely try this, ive been having a hard time looking on ways how to solve this problem.. also can i now do battery calibration steps after that?
cause im having battery drain issue on my WFS after flashing of ROM, im not getting 4.219V my only maximum was 4.196V. And yesterday i tried charging my phone in OFF state for 7.5hours and when i open it 100% at 4.077V, and now 87% just after 15mins of use..

Not what the problem was or related to, it was an outdated ROM manager app that caused it...
Rom: ZperiaION 4.5
Phone: Xperia Ion ATT Locked Bootloader
Problem: My phone has stopped giving any response what so ever to me.
1) My phone was working when I woke up as i turned off the Alarm and responded to a text.
2) I check 10 minutes later and my phone is not responding at all, no screen, no vibration, no response when plugged into PC and i am not able to do a force shut down by holding down the volume and power buttons for 30 seconds.
3) what worries me is that there is no LED light or any response whatsoever, nothing from any way that i know as a decently good user of this phone. Also, before the phone went down, it was at about 90% battery so im positive the battery did not drain randomly in 10 minutes.
Hmm
Put a rubber band around your power and volume button to force off and when it finaly responds
Use flashtool or sony updater service to fix your ion unless you have a unlocked bootloader then use flashtool
Any questions just ask
Sent from my LT26i using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Alright I have placed three rubberbands around each button, I have to go to school so when i come back in about 7 hours ill see what happens. And if there is still no response then flashtool is useless. thank you and i am trying your method
45mins should usualy do it
If not then you will kill your battery and you may not be able to recover
Anyway it may be warm
Just try flashing using flashtool then you should be fine
Damn...You never told me about the 45 minutes part . The Battery I think is dead because the Red LED was blinking while i tried to charge for the last 6 hours. So I have come to the conclusion that the batter is dead because it has never taken me this long when i fixed the soft-brick before.
Thanks for trying to help i guess @Envious_Data

I have the same problem
My lt28h randomly shutted down in school like the other one and when I connected it to the charger a red led blinked very short (about 1sec) and weak, after 3 sec the LED started blinking very fast and weak, also I were able to here quietly clicks everytime the led blinked.
I charged it for 24 hours already but I had no response, no vibration, no sound, no green or orange LED.
I flashed CM11 and just replaced my screen by myself and had a bug sometimes (once a day) that my sim-card didn't got detected and I had to restart.
Yeah, I'd just remove the battery and try to charge it separately and see if that helps.

Are you using stock charger to charge online? there might be one more possibility that battery might not be pinned properly to the phone.

yes i am using stock charger , and i tried several times battery is pinned properly .. it all started because the computer guy made wrong usb connections on my computers motherboard .. i connected to transfer my photos and it suddenly died. on connecting to computer via usb it charges sometimes ..but then restarting it results in mega drop in battery level and then it wont charge.
Just wanted to know that if this is a hardware issue or a software issue. would flashing a ftf solve the issue ?

K i personally think that there is a problem with the battery. once the battery is connected to wrong polarity it generally get ****ed up but i see that it charges properly with the battery charger. if the charge is retained normally there is definitely no problem in battery. It will be the PIN . But not harm in trying to reset through PCC or flashing FTF.

Yea it does. Get back to stock charge your battery use the phone. if the battery drains normally. There is no problem with battery. The problem is with pin configuration of the phone.
