Alright so I'm charging my phone (which was at 30%) and I do a quick reset, when it boots back up its at 100% 0_o, this happens pretty often. It's not a big deal was just wondering if anyone else Experiences this?
I've had it happen a handful of times. I haven't noticed any issues with battery life so I'm not worried about it.

I actually had a similar issue when I was flashing another rom at about 30%. When the rom came up it had full battery. So right now I am trying to use hipkat's guide to calibrate my battery.

i just finished the calibration on my phone and so far so good.
It happens to me often. However, you will probably notice the battery life sink like a BRICK out of a plane, but it will stabilize somewhere around the correct battery reading.

I've had this tablet for more than a week now and for some reason the battery always skips percentages in the same spots like from 83 to 81 or 80-77 and it happens randomly after that. I get decent battery life but I just wanna know why this happens or if there's a fix for this..?
My question to you is how you even noticed this... Do you sit and watch the battery go down?
lol use battery doctor let it trickle charge the battery and then monitor it.. should fix the issue.

Uh no, I watched it happen once and I thought it was no big deal, and then I saw it happening again so I decided to ask

Not trying to be a ****, just wondering how someone even notices that lol.
I'm pretty sure there are issues with correct battery information being shown with the Nexus 7. Regardless, I don't think it's anything to worry about it.

Lol, it's alright I was just wondering why it was happening, but thanks anyway
I have been using my Nexus 7 2013 for few months and the battery is really strange.
The battery graph is often zigzag-like as attached and I really don't know where the issue is.
I have been using purity rom, franco kernel with smart cover.
I am also charging my Nexus 7 2013 with my Nexus 4 charger and external powerbank.
Is this a battery problem and should I get it back to ASUS for warranty?
Thanks everyone
If it hasent been doing this long i would give it a week or two and if its still doing it, then i would be concerned. But i also think that some custom kernels may also have this side effect, i dont know why, maybe someone more with more knowledge of kernels could clear this up. Atleast. I hope... Mine does this aswell, but i dont stay on the same rom for more than a week or two ?

I am not sure why this happen and my first thought is battery issue.
I am lazy to try out different roms and kernels unless this issue persists.
Id go through a few full cycles, it does this to me on glitch kernel, but i tryed stock rooted rom the other day and noticed it wasnt happening anymore.
Edit: just looked at the graph again. Looks like you werent even using the tablet at all. If thats the case then im afraid this might be bad. Sorry friend.
But i wouldnt get too worried just yet, give it a few days, if it doesnt settle down or stock does the same then id think about a warranty.

Thanks very much and I may observe it for another week.
I have the exact same issue with my Nexus7. Rooted stockrom and it is zigzaging also. But batterylife is still very good, now its been up 2days and 12 hours with screen time over 5 hours. So im not going to send my own into warranty just yet, because every other common known problem is not on my device
I have stock rom , not rooted and I get the zig zag battery also. No problem tho, I am very happy with the battery life .
Hi All,
so yesterday my phone updated to version 4.4.3, before this update the battery life on this one was nothing short of amazing (esp compared to my one x before) i could use it on and off all day and get home from work with 60ish % remaining.
since this update my phone seems to be eating battery like no tomorrow, it has only been off charge for 2 hours and i have not used it, just checked it and im down to 60% already...
yesterday afternoon i had to plug it in as it was in the red (14%)
has anyone else noticed this? is there an easy way to roll back without rooting? (warrentys and the like prevent me from rooting it)
Cheers
Daz
No way returning to the old version without unlocking/rooting it (with s-off its easy to return to 100% stock though)
But i would back up what you need and perform a factory reset. That is the first thing you can try to resolve the issue.

Have you tried any of the standard things like wiping cache/factory reset?
You could install a battery monitor to see if there are any clues as to whats using up the battery:

yes good point a factory reset would be the clear choice, will do that in a mo and see if that helps

Just make sure any data you want is backed up first. You wont lose anything on your external sd card unless you chose to erase it, but you will lose your apps/accounts/settings. I would expect this should clear out anything causing issues, good luck.
I have exactly the same battery drain and the phone is always hot now so its doing something..
Let me know how the factory reset goes..
How did the reset go? I installed the update on Friday night and my phone has been running hot since then.
Just to update on this (sorry for the slow response!) finally managed to get round to a reset and that has solved the issue, battery life is now back up,
the battery monitor before the reset was just saying that the kernal was using most power.... never found out the cause though!

I have the same problem with 4.4.3.
How you have solved the issue?
Battery monitor apps, like my favorite Gsam, are pretty useless without root... To see the wakelocks.
Just an FYI. ?
Full reset resolved it for me.

Hello,
The battery life of my Z1 compact is very low. This only started the last month or so.
Are there things I can do to improve it?
I have been thinking of putting another rom on it, but not used to this anymore. A few years ago I did a lot (with my HTC Hero), but at the moment I don't have time to do this regularly (read: I was single on those days ). I can remember that there was an option in the recovery to whipe the battery stats, so maybe this can help me.
Then, is there a light yet stable rom out there?
Maybe you can give me also some guides on how to start with this: rooting, replacing recovery image and flashing a custom Rom.
Anyways thanks for your help.
Sorry if I made some mistakes, English is not my native language.
Bart.
This additional info can maybe useful:
Currently I am on Android 5.1.1 Build 14.6.A.0.368 ...
Most people have noticed that battery life on LP is generally a little worse than on KK, but usually stock rom battery life is pretty good, so if it's just getting worse suddenly, you might want to try an update, (.368 is not the newest fw), or maybe some changes you made are draIning the battery, or maybe the battery is old and needs to be replaced. Most custom roms are fine as far as battery drain goes, but most are not better than stock, so probably not a solution to the issue. Have you been using any battery - saving options, (stamina, Greenify, etc.)?
Are you using Pocket (readitlater)?
The new version of the app sucks alot of battery... =(

Basically, you need to replace the battery.

I have seen that there's a newer update (14.6.A.1.236). The problem with this is, when I try the update, the phone says there's no update for the phone. Is there a way to force the update?

I have been looking and found some local repair center, which can do it.
While it is still under waranty, I don't want to send it to Sony, as I expect to lose the phone for more than 3 weeks???
Anyways, big thanks for all your replies!

I found it pretty easy to replace the battery myself, but that will void the warranty so you might not want to do that if there is still significant time left to run on the warranty.

I'm pretty sure there are instructions in that thread, but otherwise there are various videos such as this one:

This is how i get most juice out of this xperia. 2 years old battery shouldn't have degraded more than 10%
I should have posted this. I have found some useful info about changing the battery (mainly youtube), and I already ordered a new battery and adhesive for the back cover.
Another question I posted earlier: is there a way to force update to version .1.236

If BL is locked, ota should work. You can always use Flashtool/ Xperifirm...
