When my battery gets low, < 10~15% my phone will suddenly shut down, boot up and then just continue to boot loop until I either do a battery pull, or plug in to a charger.
Sometimes the phone will show say 15% when this happens, then I plug it in to a charger and it will say 3% when it boots up and stays on.
Anyone else have this problem?
Nothing at 10-15%. Once I get down to 1-2% it'll shut down. And If I turn it back on. It'll boot in, Then immediately shutdown. It'll do this 2-3 times (If I keep turning it on). Until it will no longer even attempt to boot. Any aftermarket batteries? Or all stock?
I would reset the phone to defaults. And then try to re-calibrate the battery. IE. Kill it dead>Full Charge 2-3 times.

My issue is that When I am using the phone, normally on dolphin or else a chan viewer, my phone will just turn off. Like the battery died. My phone would have somewhere between a 70-20% charge. Most the time it is above 50%. I will power the phone on and it will say I have 1-3% charge left then shut off normally after.
If I plug it into a charger after that and boot it up (or pull the battery then on a charger and boot it up) the phone will come up fine and say I have 70-20% left. Just depends on where it was at before it shutdown. I can look at my battery usage when it comes up and you can see it go from say 60% to 2% after reboot, then back to 60% once I get it back up. There will be gaps in the usage.
I am currently on Shooter with the freedom kernal. I was on chop suey. I have not reimaged my rom, but I have reinstalled the kernal. I have tried to calibrate my battery and wiped the battery info.
Also my phone charges really slow now too. It can take 20-30 mins to go 5% at times.
I think I just need a new battery.
I think you're right
OK so here is the deal.
I did the battery calibration of charging to 100 and then wipe the battery stats and then fully deplete. The following day I wanted to drain it even further down so after the phone hit zero and shut down. I then plugged it into a usb just long enough to get into recovery and then immediately unplugged it from the usb (10-15 seconds.) I just left it sitting there in recovery for AN HOUR before it shut off on it's own. I am wondering why there is that much power still left in the batteries and yet the phone still shuts down? Is there a reason the phone needs to keep that much of a reserve?
Thanks!

Well, draining a modern lithium ion battery completely is detrimental to it's lifespan, so... yes, there is a reason for the reserve.
Since i was having problems with the battery levels i thought to run the battery dry, but i noticed that the phone was not shutting down on itself ?? it kept running on 0% and voltage decreased to 3068mV ?? (isn't that way to low ?)
I tried to power it off and on again, but it didn't boot. So i put the phone on the charger and the orange led kept blinking (1sec on, 1 sec off)??
Eventually i held down the power button and then it started to charge and i could boot again.
But what's the problem with my phone ? shouldn't it shutdown @ 0% battery on itself to prevent battery damage?

same here mate suddenly the screen went off without any warning but no it did shut down but maybe not proper software shut down, since when it regained power i had fast boot off so the phone booted from the start, the power was not @ 0% when it went out, so i dont think there is a worry about hardware or battery
yea i guess one of the many bugs, its a beast that needs to be tammed
I just drained my battery to 0 and it shut down. Now when I put the charger in there is no LED, and it doesn't turn on...... what do i do??
I am on a custom ROM. Does this mean it won't charge now because the recovery doesn't support it?
Edit: eventually the red LED blinked, then after a few minutes it stayed on solid. Then I was able to turn it on.
Weird problem, did some searching but can't find anything that matches my problem exactly.
My Epic 4G (running Vanir kitkat) shut off the other day when I unplugged it from my car charger to go into the store. I turned it back on and it booted past the Samsung logo, and began the boot animation so I put it back in my pocket. When I pulled it back out a few minutes later it was off again. It took me a few more restarts to realize it wasn't booting past the boot animation. Each time it loaded less and less of the boot animation. Now it will show the Samsung logo and that's it.
It will boot fully into the rom, but only when it's plugged in to a charger. This indicates to me that the battery is shot, except it seems to charge up, and will discharge if I try to continuously boot with it unplugged. Similarly, if I have it plugged in and boot into the rom I can run various android battery apps (including the built in *#*#4636#*#*) and they show the health as "Good" and give me some additional stats on it, including what seems an accurate charge level.
Is it possible the battery life has degraded so badly that 100% charge means half a second? If I unplug while the phone is on it will shut off.
Halp!
Take the battery out and "slap it" (face/back side down) about an inch or so high onto a counter top 3 or 4 times using your fingers. For whatever reason I've been able to bring batteries back to life or extend their life by doing this. I have no idea why it works.
If it doesn't work the first time then try it a several more times. If it doesn't come back to life then it's probably permanently dead.
Hello, I have a serious battery problem on the HTC one m8. Whenever I boot into hboot or recovery and reboot back to the OS, the battery insanely goes down or goes up. I have examples of it happening.
Hboot to OS: 20 to 86%
OS to recovery: 79% to 5%
OS to recovery (again): 100% to 14%
Hboot to OS: 13% to 90%
Today I was on 91% when the phone suddenly went to 0% and turned off. When I plugged it in to charge the percentage showed 27%.
Can this be fixed or do I have a bad battery and need a replacement? I'm on a Rooted and Bootloader unlocked T mobile m8, on mokee 6.0.1.
Seems like a bad battery indeed, but first, try battery calibration:
"Plug phone into HTC charger and charge for two minutes or more
While charging, hold down volume up+volume down+power button and continue holding
Phone will turn on and off repeatedly every 15 seconds or so while continuing to hold all three buttons
Keep this going for 2 minutes, then release buttons when phone is ON
Now, let phone charge fully normally (with phone either on or off--doesn't matter) and battery level reporting, charging and battery life should be normalized."
See if this helps.
Will do this and let you know.
Looks like he didnt let us know...
