Device shuts off prematurely - 8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My kindle fire HD 8.9 says it has low battery and shuts off at the same time. When it does this it is at around 30% and I have no idea why. It is running cm11 but it still did this when it was running fire is.

Maybe the battery is going out, you can replace them though.

gede rom: battery problems

I installed the gede rom a few weeks ago. I am having issues with charging my fire. Recently, I charged it all night, unplugged it, then didn't use my fire for a couple days. The kindle fire lost all of its charge while not being used. Then, while charging it back up, it would go from "charging" to "discharging", flipping back and forth, even though it was plugged in (this was being viewed through the settings).
Is this a common problem? Is there a fix? Would there be another rom that is more stable?
I have also found that the Fire loses charge very easily while on standby on all of the ROMS I've used it on.
I would shut down the Fire completely when storing it away.
Also, the discharging, charging bug is harmless as far as I know, it charges itself regardless of the charging, discharging status.

[Q] battery life

I've rooted my kindle and the battery life is terrible, is this normal? The first night I rooted it, it was fully charged, by morning it was completely dead. I eventually put stock back on it and left it on the charger thru out the day and came home and there was no light on it and I had to hard reset it.
Battery life on a rooted kindle really this bad?
If I revert back to stock, what all do I need to do to get it back to completely stock so it doesn't drain the battery so fast?
1. What ROM were you using?
2. Is WiFi set to be turned off when the kindle is sleeping?
3. Some ROMs have slightly different screen brightness settings, how bright was your screen?
If I were you, I'd charge the kindle overnight until it is 100% (if it doesn't charge to full overnight, you might want to revert to stock, then send it over to Amazon for a replacement. Obviously a hardware-related charging problem).
Then if the battery drains less than an hour of use, or 5 hours without use, (mine lasts around 24 hours without use, 4 hours with Wifi turned on, maybe 6 hours with it turned off), then try a different ROM, like Jandycane for Jellybean, or GedeROM for Ice Cream Sandwich. I've found GedeROM to have extra-good battery life, possibly better than stock.
If all else fails, you can revert to stock.

0% charge battery question mark

1st gen fire. (stock)
Has a '?' over the battery icon.
Also says it is has 0% charge.
Software issue?
I don't know if it is charging anymore; charge light won't come on.
What does this mean?
I don't know exactly what you are taking about, but let me try to help.
Plug your kindle into a wall outlet.
Hold down the power button for 10-20 seconds.
Let charge for 5 hours.
Turn on and see of you have the same problem.

[Q] Charging stopped after reach 70% with cm10.1

Thanks a lot for developer's effort to bring cm10.1 to kindle fire HD 8.9. But I have an issue. And I am not sure whether it is related with cm10.1. In stock rom, I can charge the battery to 100%. But after flashing cm10.1, I found charging stopped after reach 70%. Is it normal? Or something is broken? After reflashed back stock rom, I can only charge the battery to about 77% (just once, then I switched to cm10.1 again).
It turns out to be a charger issue. I originally thought any USB charger should be OK, but I am wrong. Yesterday, I tried a Amazon kindle DXG charger, and make a full charge to nearly 100% finally.
I use Iphone's charger to charge kindle fire HD whith CM10.1 room, and it work well

Battery Stuck at "100% - Not Charging"

After I finished charging my tablet to 100% today, I set it down and went on with my tasks for the day. Checking it here and there, I didn't realize until now that the battery has remained at 100% for the past six hours. I have tried powering down and booting back up as well as plugging the tablet in briefly.
Both the battery menu and Dashclock display "Not charging" instead of "Discharging." When I plug the tablet in, it immediately tells me that it is fully charged.
So needless to say, I'm looking for a solution, preferably simple. Factory reset is a last resort. I'm running an unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 (2013) with stock 4.3, so no third-party ROMs or kernels messing with the battery.
This issue is ironic because I was pretty close to fully-charged last night (80-90%) and when I woke up, I was at ~50% and the battery menu displaying that "Android OS" was hogging 50% of my battery usage. Normally screen comes out on top. I attributed this to my home Wi-Fi router's flakiness, rebooted the router, and the tablet seemed to restore to the correct battery usage levels.
this actually happened to me the other day. left the n7 on the wireless charger overnight and woke up to battery stuck at 100%. at first I thought I was getting some stupid crazy awesome battery life, but then realized it was just stuck.
i did a factory reset to "fix it"...
Nexus 7 1st gen had that same issue. Mine resolves itself after a few charge cycles. Basically the % just gets pinned @ 100% and starts draining down when in reality the tablet might be ~70-80%. Just keep using it and it'll drop. Problem is, since the calibration is off, using it while you have this issue to ~20-30% may cause it to run out of juice and shut off on you since in reality it would be 0%. So I'd use it down a lil bit and put it back on the charger. I just didn't think the new one would have the same problem :\
Have you tried booting into the recovery to see if the battery percent is correctly displayed there?
I ended up booting into TWRP, where the battery displayed as 100%. It may have just been some sweet battery life, but it actually seems like it was stuck, or at least discharging at a very slow rate. Down to 87% currently, so it was fixed after I booted into recovery. Thankfully, just a hiccup and no factory reset necessary.
Experienced another random reboot today, but lucky me, I get to save that for another thread!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this has become a common problem for me now. every time i fully charge the N7 and leave it plugged in the battery percentage gets stuck. rebooting in recovery gets it unstuck but throws off the calibration/percentage.
