Hi XDA Community, I purchased a HTC one m8 used about a year ago and have been having some serious troubles with it throughout my time with the device. Whilst using my device I noticed that I was facing strange battery draining issues where the phone will essentially run out of battery at 60%, I have tried to re-calibrate the battery many times which has not helped at all. Along with the battery drain issue, when my phone has turned off due to not having enough battery the device essentially factory resets it self, whilst this issue is an inconvenience, the most annoying issue of all is that when it has reset itself I am not able to use the device at all since I get many errors from gapps which can only be resolved by a factory reset from TWRP. These issues were occurring prior to me unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP.
If anyone has a solution to this problem please help as this has been bothering me for a long time.
Thanks, wikkedwigg
That sounds like a really serious problem. Try completely wiping your phone and try a different ROM maybe?
your best solution is to flash an RUU if it's available for your device variant ( this fixed the same issue for someone )
to find the correct RUU you need to post the result of fastboot getvar all ( after removing serialno,imei and meid )
Hello, I have been experiencing the same situation. But since some days ago I think that I made some kind of correction over battery calibration. My M8 was running out of battery by 35%. So, I put the phone to charge at 100%, after that and with the phone connected to charged I reset by press "vol up+ vol down + power" let them pressed for 2 minutes (it will restart the phone some times).
For the first time e get battery from 100% to 90%, and waited for 100% again to repeat the operation and got 92%. It's like new now.

Im having a sudden battery issue with my G2 that started about 2 weeks ago. Im currently running 2.3.4 and have been for a while now. When using my phone at near full charge, it randomly shuts down. When it restarts it states I have less than 2% power and the red "x" is at the top. A few seconds later it shuts down again as it if it has no power. The only way to correct this is to remove the battery completely and reboot. Once I reboot, the battery level goes back to a normal state or it will read somewhere near 50%. Ive also noticed the following: the battery will charge VERY slowly. Sometimes overnight it still won't say fully charged. I've done the following to try to fix:
1. I replaced the battery with a brand new one. Same issues right off the bat.
2. Wiped my phone and reinstalled.
3. Checked to see if any APP was draining the battery or causing the issue. None are!
I've seen this issue reported by other G2 users on the Tmobile Support forum and none of them have gotten any solid results. I've browsed this forum some and couldn't find it either, unless i missed it.
Any help is appreciated!

Power down and charge 'til it thinks it's fully charged (should be a green light). If it doesn't show a green light (like you said, it won't fully charge), just leave it charge for a while (overnight would be good). Boot into recovery, either by booting Android + rebooting recovery or by rebooting recovery through bootloader, go to advanced and select wipe battery stats... I think CWM 5 still has this option (don't know about 4EXT)
zeppelinrox has a battery calibrator script which is useful and can automatically delete battery stats once fully charged... I can't find it though. I'll attach / PM it if you need it.
BTW I'm not sure if this is the problem, it could be hardware related. I'd try it though, it might help.
If all else fails and you're sure it's not a hardware problem, I'd do a factory reset and /or reflash ROM.

Thanks for the tip. I had already deleted the battery stats bin file from the system and rebooted and received the same results (assume thats what your fix does). I've also reinstalled the rom and had no issues. Ive done searches and found that SEVERAL other people with the G2 had this issue. Kind of surprised it hasnt yet been addressed on this forum. Back in 2011 Tmobile was asking for people to volunteer some info in order to fix it. Apparently nothing was ever done and when i call in (several times), no one seems to know what im talking about even when i point them in the direction of their own forums. I'm really at a loss and don't feel like paying out the a$$ for a new phone when I know this is not something I did.
Hi, I just bought a used galaxy tab s 10.5 and the battery jump from 20 to 99% in 20 minutes when charging . I started using it at 100% and it shuted down for low battery in 30minutes and I power it on again a it said 75%. How do you thinks is going on with the tablet? Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Do you know if it's rooted and has a custom recovery. Clear cache and fix permissions in recovery mode
No root
It is not rooted and it have stock recovery. Is there an app to reset battery stats?

try booting stock recovery and do a factory reset.if that don't work than look into rooting it and TWRP so you'll have the option to flash something else or clear the cache and fix permissions
done
I did the factory reset and the permissions fix thrught TWRP but the battery still crazy. What more can I do?
I got the tablet down to 0% battery, to the point that it wouldn't turn on.
Took off the back cover using prying tools and then disconnected the battery, power cycled thrice by holding and releasing power button and then reconnected the battery and let it charge overnight to 100% and now battery life is amazing, don't have those drastic drops anymore.
There are no warranty stickers torn etc involved with doing this so you don't have to worry about voiding it. Just take your time and start at the microsd slot, open the hatch and work your way around slowly. Its difficult first time around because there is adhesive glue as well as clips holding it down. But still very doable without damaging anything.
Here is a link to a battery calibrator for root users
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitula.batterycalibration
There are other calibration apps
Definitely other options before taking it apart [emoji111]
..
I tried with the battery calibration app and nothing. I leave you a screenshot , thats is WHITHOUT any charge, when it shuted out I just turn it on again. What is indexservice?
OK after ready the links below I believe a debloated ROM could solve your problem

I will try a debloated rom because son process called index service is draining the 60% of my battery, but is rare that the tablet shuted down and when I tried to turn in on and it shuted down immediately for low battery, but and enter in recovery mode and leave it on with max brightness and it stay awake for 4 hours!! Even when twrp said that is has only 1%.

Post back to let us know it is after a ROM flash
Can you post a full screenshot of your battery settings. You just posted the graph. Not sure about the index service, but knox drains battery too.
Had the same issue crop up on mine. Did the the battery 0% drain then recharge a few times. And factory format. Now it just randomly keeps restarting (even when on charge now). Called Samsung and they have sent a pack to post it to them to sort I hope.
Now with the debloated rom the crazy battery drops have stop but I'm having random restarts. What's is happening now?
I know it's a lot of work and getting frustrating but let's try Odin back to stock .

Let's try back to stock. Thanks a lot for taking time to help me.

I'm on here all the time and when I get my devices the way I want them I just browse around trying to help with what I can .no problem and your welcome

Now with stock rom I still having random restarts and battery drops. I dont know what more to do and I dont have warranty.
I leave it all night on plugged in the charger and it didn't restart but when I started using it, it freezes up and restart.
Now it sounds like a kernel issue .I really dislike that cortex chip to
hello
i had resurrection ROM and suddenly the phone turn off battery turn from 50 to 7 and turn off again and didn't stop unless i connect power cable
i format the device to ARHD ROM and its still doing it
but the problem is when im in TWRP it doesn't turn off with out power cable so it probably not the battery
any help please what it can be?
I have come across this problem of rapid battery loss but not as severe as yours, it took only 9 minutes for my whole battery to drain from 100 to 10. But i also did switch roms and even recovered stock firmware but nothing seemed to work. After a while, i kept switching and switching roms and eventually, the power issue stopped, i had no idea what happened. Is it because i don't use my phone often Anyways a battery replacement would probably be necessary if the problem still occurs. This power issue is inconvenient and would like to know if someone else would be able to know of a better solution.
So, a few things: First, I used Sunshine on my phone last Wednesday to put the newest T-Mobile firmware on my phone. Prior to doing these two things, this problem did not exist. I am on ViperOne 3.5, chose T-Mobile as my carrier and was very careful in setting things up.
First two or so times I would notice my phone was not waking up, so I held down the power button to restart and after it turned on there was a very large battery drain (30-50%). After this I decided that maybe the firmware was the issue, so I fastboot flashed a fullwipe version through fastboot (originally I had done a no wipe flash) and restored backup nandroid from TWRP. After that the problem persisted, so I thought maybe it was a rom conflict and did a clean install of Viper 3.5, thought everything would be good but while in the car it did it again. This time I caught it quick (I had used my phone maybe five minutes before and when I restarted the battery drain was less than 5%. But seeing as I've done a clean install of both the firmware and the rom now, I'm sort of at a loss for what to do.
Has anyone heard of this, or would anyone have tips on what to do? Can provide additional info if needed, just want to get this worked out. I've been lucky so far and it's done it while I didn't need power. If it were to do it during work when I can't check the phone for a while, it could lead to the entire battery being depleted.
::EDIT:: I should also add that this happened once when I was asleep, and I found that the phone would not charge when in this state, as the orange light was not on when I woke up and I had to reboot the phone. Again, extremely weird and it only started after Sunshine and firmware change, nothing else.
This "sleep of death" thing has happened to me a few times, though I have not seen the battery drain. I have not figured out what is causing it.

I actually just caught it and tested some more out. Tried plugging it into a wall and it won't charge. Also tried plugging it into a computer and it will not recognize. The only two things I have changed are the firmware version, and running sunshine through it. I'm actually pretty worried since it won't even interface with a computer until rebooted. Also went from 90ish% to 77 in a matter of 15 or so minutes
Hey everyone,
So i have a stock HTC 10, no custom rom or whatsoever and the battery drain suddenly got very bad. Android OS is on 49% and Android system on 28%. Battery drained 8% over the last hour with 3 mins SOT. I've set back the phone to factory settings and didnt install anything back on it, turned stuff like the GPS location to power saving mode but nothing seems to help. Tons of forum posts also didn't help. I don't want to put a custom ROM on it for now, so i can always send it back to HTC.
One thing that i keep noticing is my CPU usage. Im checking this with the stock android CPU checker and the load is 12.13/13.28/13.68 with only the systemui active. I have forced all apps to stop once but there was no solution. This problem is occuring since mid august. Hopefully somebody is known with this problem.
Edit: running wakelock detector atm

I experienced something similar, funnily enough it was the charger cable causing it. Not sure how or why but as soon as I swapped from the faulty HTC official cable to another cheaper cable the drain stopped. Worth a try

I tried another cable, didnt solve the problem unfortunately.
I'm having a very similar issue. Battery drains way quicker in the last few months (20% in 30 minutes) just from web browsing. A factory reset didn't help me either.
I'm trying safe mode now to see what happens (hold the power button, then tap and hold the "power off" option).
