Phone jumping from 50% to 5%. How do I fix this? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Starting last week, my phone would have this strange issue where it would suddenly restart and be at a low battery life. At first I thought it was the rom (Euphoria) so I decided to switch to cloudyg3 to check. Its still happening on this rom too, so I downloaded battery calibration to see if that would fix it and im still having the same issue. Could my battery be causing this? That seems like a really strange thing for a battery alone to do....

Calibrate the battery. I know you attempted this, but you shouldn't restart your phone during calibration. Charge to 100% and use that module to delete the old stats. Use the phone and leave it on until it turns off from no power. There is another module that can turn off the auto-shutoff. Use this (doesn't work on some ROMs) to ensure that you drain it to 0%.

Help Me Find Out Why My Phone Randomly Restarted - LeeDroid

I'm hoping someone can help please. I put Leedroid 2.4 on my phone and it's been flawless for a couple of days, apart from this morning it looks at if it randomly rebooted.
I haven't switched it off since sometime yesterday but System Monitor shows a boot time of 4:13 this morning. I was asleep and the phone was on the side unplugged.

Also my battery history goes a bit funny just after this time and the useage went up loads from it's usual 1 or 2ma when sleeping.
and voltage - the big drop at the end is when my alarm went off and I started using the phone
I've no idea how I'd start to find out what caused it to do it, can anyone help please? It obviously didn't do a full reboot as it didn't ask for my PIN unlock code this morning.
Cheers
It's done it again this morning at 3:30. Useage at -1ma for ages then after this time up to between -22 and -25.
Any ideas?
I've checked through everything in "SystemPanel" and nothing seems to be using the processor at any time.
Hi,
Sorry I could not help you out about your issue but will be happy if you can tell me the apps you use for monitoring your phone? Is it all from the "System Monitor" app you mention?
The top pic is SystemPanel which I think cost me a pound or two a while ago and the bottom is Battery Monitor Widget, which is free.

Thanks a lot. I hope your issue will be solved! Or maybe perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists?

Cheers, me too. It's not a major issue but it's one that could catch me out if it does it when my battery is low.

Google + is eating all my battery since 4.2.1 update...

Hey just thought I'd post this here and see if anyone else is having similar problems. I updated to the latest firmware a few weeks ago and ever since then my phone is dead after only 6ish hours with pretty average use in between. My battery stats are pointing towards the Google plus app as being the culprit so I force close it but it obviously keeps restarting.
Before the update I was able to go over a day before it would go completely flat.
Here's a screen grab of my battery stats, anyone have any ideas on what I can do to sort this out?

Oh and I forgot to mention, the phone is completely stock unrooted, locked boot loader etc.
Cheers.
Maybe try and uninstall updates to Google+ and reinstall. I had a problem after updating to 4.2.1 where Google+ kept syncing and it was solved this way.
Edit: Forgot to mention, my phone is stock with unlocked bootloader.
Cheers, I'll give that a go and see how it works out.
I just took my phone off the charger not long ago. Will post another screenshot when it's been on battery for a while, should give you a better idea of reasonable ratios.
Worst comes to worst, wipe everything (including SD) and start over. You could have some spooky ghost files and some cobwebs all up in your GNex!
My 4.2 Experience
i have been trying several 4.2 roms and with all of them i was getting the worst battery and also a very strange bug or at least i think it was a bug :silly: since i was using my phone normally and then all of the sudden the screen goes black but the phone still funtional it wasnt a SOD for example i was playing a game and then boom black and the sound vibration and everything all was keep on working i the end i decided to go back to CNA
Took another screenshot. I haven't used my phone so much today, but what you're seeing, OP, is definitely not normal.
I uninstalled Extended Controls. Battery stats for the app was ridiculous if the system app showed correctly. If I'm lucky I'll notice improved battery life now

Google maps draining my entire battery

Since about a week the battery life of my one X has become terrible. According to the battery usage screen, google maps seems to be draining all the juice. Im not actually using gm though, so something must be going on in the background.

Thanks in advance!

Just disable it
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
And how do I do that? I can close the process, but it will automatically go back on. Disabling the app itself is not something I know how to do and not really something I would like to do either.
Perhaps one other thing of importance: when I open maps (or now) it says location services are turned off, while they are not.

disable from settings app manager OR
get greenify from playstore and just greenify it
problem solved :good:
Also, where do you live at? Might be your not connected to the right sattelites for your region. You could go to play store and download faster fix and make sure your phone is reading off the right satellites.

So I brought my device badk to firmware after a lot of abusing of my device......but then,this happened (i changed to a different rom to stop the same battery problem but it wasnt any good) its not wakelock, like when the device is locked, no battery is wasted but when the screen is turned on and i do light activities like google translate, youtube, it drains SUPER FAST! Like for watching a 10 min video on youtube, it took away 3% of battery! I have also enabled power saving, have kind of a decent brightness and the wifi sleep thingybis set to never keep on. So I really need help with that.

I checked and it says I use 2.4.....
Hmm, i guess you have checket others battery drain apps etc, i dont use facebook and messenger on mine..
You can try a full reset on it sometimes that helps. (Iknow it sucks to set it up again)

No nothing like that....
And plus I just flashed it back to stock a few days ago and did a factory reset then.....
Ok, you could try root it again and try find the best battery calibration tools around, then im out of suggestions for now

Screen using power when turned off

I've got all gestures and everything else I can think of off, I even disabled "Prevent accidental touches" yet it's still draining the battery fairly considerably
Any ideas?

It's one of them sweet new features Samsung added, just enjoy it and stop whinging.

If your phone is rooted, check your deep sleep time in a kernel manager like mtweaks or ex. If it doesn't go into deep sleep, there's probably a app preventing it. You can probably find it under the battery usage in your settings. If you can't find it try DS battery saver, if that resolves your issue, it's probably an app keeping your phone awake. It also could be the AoD thats keeping it awake, I only know about this problem in custom roms, and I don't encounter it on my phone on OneUI, but this could be an issue aswell.

Not rooted unfortunately, shame they limited access to app usage, I mean even Android battery status has more info
Deep sleep seeems to work, battery drain in the morning is fine, this is through the day
Bit of an update for anyone wanting to see actual app stats, "Accubatttery" still works fine
