My girlfriend has been having problems with her phone lately which i do not think it is her battery. Even if she fully charges the phone like 5-10 minutes later it will say low battery and turn off on her. I tried switching batteries out with her and it still says low although my battery is fully charged. Sometimes after it shuts off from saying battery low 30 minutes later she'll be able to turn it on and it will say full battery.
Fixes I tried:
Charging it over night Sometimes it will turn off while charging because it says low battery.
Using the 1% Battery Increment Driver
Switching batteries with my phone. Her battery in my phone will say 100% and my battery when fully charged in her phone will say Main Battery Low.
Is it stock ROM? If it is you may have a bad phone. If not, reflash and test. Or just try a different ROM and see if the issue remains. If it does, you certainly have a bad phone.
It started when she had stock ROM. so I Hard reset it and it still happened. then i installed Energy Series ROM. and it is still happening.
just today we woke up it was at 100% then when we unplugged the phone it went to low battery and 1%.
So what do i do to try to fix this problem? do i call HTC and see if they will replace it? AT&T? The thing is i bought the phone from a private seller.
any other ideas why the problem may be occurring?
help please!

if it doesnt have water damage visit your local carrier store letting them know the problem. If it is less than a year old they should honor the phone warranty. I've found in person they are more likely to help you out.
With water damage they will be reluctant to do any work on the phone and insurance is probably the best bet.

The battery is probably bad, not the phone. Try to get a battery from ATT or if that fails get one on eBay. You can save a ton of ca$h getting it there rather than at the store.

It depends, if her battery works in your phone it is not the battery. I also believe since your battery doesn't work in her phone that it is a phone issue. Most likely your phone is causing the issue, not the battery (especially since you did multiple ROM flashes). When you flashed your ROMs though, did you make sure to do a hard reset before each new flash? Clear Storage > Flash stock ROM > Clear Storage > Flash custom rom > Clear storage. that just makes sure all old registry and ROM files get deleted.
My phone won't boot unless it is plugged in via wall charger.
If I got it to boot while charging, it instantly turns off when I unplug it even with battery at 100%.
I am able turn to go into hboot mode(power + volume down), even when it is unplugged. But it dies if I access recovery. I am able to perform "show image crc" function.
The problem started while I was using the camera and it just turned off by itself.
I was on SROM at the time when the problem started.
I managed to change ROM to SD, and even used lollipop RUU(verizon), but the problem wasn't resolved.:crying:
What do you think? Am I right to assume this is a hardware problem?

I have same problem!
Bump. I have the same problem too. Seems to have come out of the blue for an otherwise functional phone. Can't figure it out.
I'll add that I can get into twrp and it seems to function without the charger plugged.. But otherwise, if the charger is removed, phone dies like OP.
Anyone can help?
Hey, this happened to me too while I was using the camera too! What's the linkage?
@yakultski, have you figured this out yet?
Try to flash a RUU and if you got the same it should be an hardware problem...

Did you resolve the issue. I heard it could be the battery failing, but i'm not so sure anymore, because when i run antutu benchmark my phone shuts down when using fisheye image processing or 3D, it turns off even when it's plugged in.
I suspect it's the GPU failing or something similar. That is weird since i wasn't using any intense 3D games. I'm sure this is my last HTC.

I don't know if you managed to solve your problem, but in my case I replaced the battery and now the problem is gone. So defective battery is the reason in my case. I replaced it my self which is quite a task but not so hard, you just need patience and time. So if you have time to reply me, please do, as i would like to help.:good:

Hey Gunman84, my phone is behaving in a similar fashion as the OP. I have an AT&T phone converted to a GPE. So everything is stock in that sense. If plugged in, phone operates normally. As soon as I unplug it, a couple of seconds later it will power off. If I boot into hboot, the phone will stay on for a long time (its been an hour+ already and its still on).
I watched a youtube video showing how to replace the battery and that was pretty intimidating - haha. Where did you get your battery replacement? and how much did it cost?
thanks

Hi, it's not so intimidating . Well you just need to be careful and patient, there are lots of small resistors, connectors and so on. Check the iFixit site for proper instructions here is the link https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/HTC+One+%28M8%29+Teardown/23615 this is full teardown, and here is 2nd link where they focus mainly on replacing the battery https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/HTC+One+M8+Battery+Replacement/41650. I'm from Slovenia, and the battery cost me 20€, which is around 25US dollars, the battery was original one. I bought it from local supplier. It took me around 2-3 hours to replace it, or something like that, that's because i wanted to be careful.

Thanks so much for the links.
The phones behavior really makes me question if its the battery. For example, it stayed on in the hboot/recovery screen for 10+ hours (without being plugged in). So the battery can definitely hold a charge.
I'm afraid to open up the phone (and potentially break it), when there is potentially something else going on (maybe a software issue). I guess if I run out of ideas, I'll have no choice but to attempt the battery replacement.
thanks again!

Well in my case i could also stay in recovery mode(TWRP) indefinitely also in bootloader mode, that's because you are not in the operating system. The graphics are not running at that point and so on, it doesn't drain that much power at that point either.. It's a different story if you try to flash a rom in aroma, at that point the phone shuts of if not plugged in. It is the battery, trust me.

Really appreciate your responses. Makes sense what you say. I'm going to attempt the battery swap. Got no other option!
For the adhesive parts of the phone. When putting it back together, did you need to reapply more adhesive?

Nope, no additional adhesive was needed in my case. I used the hair dryer to soften the original adhesive. The speaker grills were difficult to remove as they are glued quite well, but eventually they came off. The toughest part was separating the back casing, as you do need quite a few prying picks or guitar picks.
Just be careful with the motherboard, slowly remove the tape that covers the connectors, you don't want to rip apart any flat cables. And don't throw away that tape, you will need it.

Well if yours symptoms are the same as clemdaddy has, then yes. Sorry, but at least now you know what the problem is.
Got the new battery today and performed the phone surgery. All the connections looked good. Pieced it all back together and everything works BUT the new battery won't charge. The phone is running off the battery, so the connections I made must be correct. Running off the battery the phone no longer exhibits the symptoms I described above (so this most likely confirms my previous battery was the culprit). I tried the hold all buttons for 2 minutes to re-calibrate the new battery. All that did was made the phone now display a full battery (instead of the empty battery it initially showed).
On the weekend I'll open it up again and see if I missed something.
Got the replacement battery. Re-opened up the phone. This time I over heated the upper and lower panels which caused them both to warp a bit, and one of them to have its paint bubble :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
I replaced the new defective battery with the most recent one. Put the phone back together and it is back to normal again! Also probably because of the over heating, there is now a little bit of a rainbow effect on the lower part of the LCD screen!
A real pity the first battery was defective, causing me to have to re-open it and carelessly overheat it. Otherwise the 1st attempt would have been a flawless repair!
With the warped panels, the bubbling paint and now the rainbow effect on the screen, I wonder how long I'll keep the phone. These little things are definitely bugging me... If I get rid of it, I'll really miss my google edition htc one m8! Nothing like a nexus like experience with a remove-able microSD card. Such a thing no longer exists
This past week, I purchased a 2014 Note 10.1 off Craigslist. I did check it out before buying it, and the device is in pristine condition, including the screen. It booted fine, and I went partway through the setup (the guy had factory reset it) before closing the deal. It is the wifi-only model, 3G RAM, 8-core Exynos version. It's white if that matters.
Anyways, a while later when playing with it some more, completing setup, etc, it just died on me. I wasn't home, and didn't have a place to charge it until I got home, but just figured that despite the device having said the battery was 99% charged, the guy keeping it unused for a long time might have thrown off the battery calibration. My understanding is that a Li-ion battery has one or more cells, plus circuitry that protects against overcharging and undervoltage conditions, as well as tracking the current charge state. With lengthy non-usage, the circuitry's idea of the current charge can get out of sync with reality, so I figured a few charge-discharge cycles would get it back in shape.
However, the situation after I got home turned out to be a little more complex. If I plug in the device to a power source with enough current (like the charger it came with, or my 2.1A USB outlet by my bed), it will run just fine while plugged in. However, upon unplugging, it would die quickly. Naturally, I assumed the battery was probably shot, so resigned myself to spending $50 on one. This is where it started to get a little weird. It seemed that when I booted into either fastboot or Odin mode, it would stay on much longer than normal, while unplugged. I'm talking hours, rather than between several seconds and several minutes while booted into the OS proper.
This lead me to believe that perhaps it wasn't my battery itself, but rather a glitch in the OS that was causing it to shut down. When I say shut down, I mean an immediate full-off state, not a nice shutdown or one preceded by low battery warnings. It just clicks off like a light that's been turned off. However, trying several different firmwares, including a couple custom ones, has not yielded any improvement. The issue remains.
The device was stock 5.1.1 when I bought it. I tried flashing KitKat (various images downloaded from SamMobile), but for some reason, it would still say it was running 5.1.1. I tried xKat, as in this thread. That results in 4.4.2 with the associated customizations, but the shutdown issue remains. I tried CyanogenMod 13, as instructed here. It works fine, notwithstanding the same issue. In between the stock firmwares (pushed to the device with Odin) and the custom ones, I would do a full wipe through TWRP.
I've popped the back off, disconnected the battery, waited a bit, and reconnected it.
Now my question: does anyone have any idea what's going on? If it's a dying battery, then why does the device say it's got a nearly full charge, and why no low battery warnings? Why would Odin mode or recovery (TWRP now) seem to keep the device powered up so much longer? Sure, they draw less power, but hundreds of times less power? I doubt it. If it's some hardware issue with the chipset/motherboard/etc, then why does it only manifest when running on battery, or a low-current USB connection? If it's an issue with Android itself, then why does nobody else seem to have this issue (googling revealed nothing that matched my symptoms), and why did several different versions exhibit the exact same problem?
I really don't want to spend money on a new battery and wait a few weeks for shipping if there's something else I'm missing that could get my device functional for free and a lot faster.
My tablet had a similar issue, in that when you would get to the 15% mark, I had maybe 3-5 minutes before it would get to 0% and abruptly turn off. I used the battery calibrator app for rooted devices, followed the instructions, and now all is good again. For me, I noticed a variance from what the OS was reporting and twrp was showing in between flashing. For what its worth, I'm on the KitKat bootloader, and haven't used an official Samsung firmware since KitKat. Oddly enough, the battery calibration having been off survived through lollipop and into marshmallow. Hopefully you can get your tablet back on track.

That's a bit different from my issue. Even when the device reports full charge, if I unplug it, it usually dies within seconds, and always within 2-3 minutes.

I don't think that's going to make a difference for me. From what I was reading, all it does is delete the batterystats.bin file (hence the root requirement), which doesn't have anything to do with calibration for most devices. It just contains the stats for how much battery drain various things have caused, during this 'running on battery power' session. It's also reset every time the device is charged. Read here for more info.
Furthermore, even if this were not the case, I'd conclude that wiping the system partition (indeed, all partitions except recovery) would have cleared this data.
Still, that said, it's conceivable (though exceedingly unlikely) that some of these calibration apps might do something else, such as talk to the battery circuitry at a low level. Since I've got nothing to lose, I will probably give a few of them a shot. Do you happen to know which one it was that you tried?

In my case, the values seemed to track pretty closely, and with numerous freshly-flashed versions exhibiting the same issue, I'm pretty sure at this point it's not a software glitch. I've resigned myself to ordering a new battery. I just wish I was certain that it would fix the issue.

My understanding is that the bootloader doesn't change with flashing. I might be wrong though; is there a way to check the version?
Just a heads up. I ordered a new battery, which arrived yesterday. It seems to have completely solved the issues I was having.
My guess is that Android itself monitors the battery more diligently, and takes a more conservative approach to preserving battery life by shutting down when the voltage drops too low, while recovery mode would just let it run down completely flat (not good for Li-ion cells).
It's a moot point now, because it all seems good.
Hi all,
I have been running my Z1 Compact on 4.4.4 for the longest time, mainly due to sound issues after updating to Lollipop.
Recently, the battery has been dropping randomly from 60 odd percent to 3 or 4 and then shutting down all within a few seconds. The last time it did this, I tried charging it when I got home but the charging light would not stay on, thus it was not charging. All typical signs of battery failure due to age.
Having already replaced the battery successfully on my Z1, I bought a replacement original Sony battery and replaced it. The problem persisted. On first boot, the phone got to the blue waves then black screen, and power off. Charging screen just showed the battery at about 40%.
I risked it and flashed the latest software with Flashtool, having done a complete wipe. The result of this proved no better, but I did get a different message on the charging screen, a message saying the phone had shut down due to overheating. Picture is attached.
The phone is in no way overheating and I've even booted it while sat on a shelf in the fridge to help dissipate any heat generated but with no luck.
So, the old battery maybe did overheat and caused the phone to shut down, I'll accept that as a probability. It may have even damaged something, but I don't think that's likely.
After changing the battery, I would have expected the problem to resolve itself, but it seems like some kind of hardware 'flag' has been raised that is now not allowing the phone to boot in case it overheats again.
Does anyone know of any way to resolve this, reset the 'flag' per se, other than going to Sony? The phone is definitely out of warranty due to its age, never mind me taking the back off lol
It is a shame because it has been a great phone over the years, and I would like to fix it if possible, even if to give it to one of the grandkids. I have my Z3 still (which I won't part with for anything) and I have an XZ too and both are great phones. I would just like to save the XZ1c if I can.
The phone is not, and has never been modified in any way, no rooting, no bootloader unlocking. Only stock roms have ever been flashed, and then only once or twice, to put it back on 4.4.4.
I have tried reflashing just the kernel, or just the system too, to no avail.
In desperation I even left it in the fridge for a few hours in case the temperature sensor was on the fritz, but that did nothing at all.
I just feel like there's nothing actually wrong with the phone, apart from this trigger that won't reset.
Any help greatly appreciated of course.
Thanks,
Mick
Maybe theres lot of consideration:
1. Rom Bugs
2. The Kernel not supported well
3. Battery Issues (But you already change it right)
There are two temperature sensors afaikin our phone. One in the SOC and another one in the battery (hence three pins).
The battery is probably the one giving the high temp report. Try yet another battery.
A bad battery normally heats up very fast inside and the battery temp sensor stops the battery from charging and/or working to protect the phone and the battery.
I changed my battery before when it had symptoms like yours 100-90-0 drop and after replacing with a battery from eBay it was OK. I gave it a full charge then complete discharge and then complete charge to full cycle the battery once and let the phone Guage its full capacity. one year later now my battery is acting funny again (not charging past 30%) and getting so hot when charging it triggers overheat control service in Android.
Any luck?

No, I never did figure it out. I've been loathe to spend more money on another battery when I've got other much newer phones. I really have no idea why it would not reset once the battery was replaced, maybe it's the replacement battery.
Have you tried changing the battery?
I've tried flashing different stock roms, Kit Kat, Lollipop, and it doesn't help.
Short of going to Sony, I'm not sure what else to do.
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this the right place to be but I have had my robin for about 1.5 years now.
I think near January I started having issues with battery with the stock firmware (like instantly dying at 15% and such)
So I had decided to unlock and root my robin.
I've tried three different Custom ROMS:
Resurrection Remix
Hexagon
Another rom which I don't recall.
They are all 7.1 or 7.1.2.
Currently on Hexagon.
But all of the have the same issues.
My phone dies at 50% battery (or sometimes less if I'm lucky) for all three roms and I wouldn't be able to boot the firmware.
But I would be able to boot to recovery and see that there is still 50% battery and the battery would be able to discharge until 0.
Can anybody please help me?
I tried battery calibration apps, but it didn't help.
*edit* Also wanted to add, my phone lasts about 30 mins before it reaches the 50% threshold (while reading articles and such) before it crashes sometimes at 50%, 40% or 30%.
Thanks!

This also happens to me under the same conditions. The phone will power off around 30-40% for no reason, though the phone won't power off until 0% while in TWRP. I'm currently on Omni but I'm going to flash AOSIP soon. This issue also happened on LOS and LOS based ROMs such and Hexagon and RR.
It can't be a hardware issue can it? Unless voltage is the issue. Not sure
Oh yeah!
the other ROM I had used was OMNI.
Yesterday I tried factory resetting and installing stock ROM.
But the same thing happpened.
It's either software OR somehow our battery is old and has a flash drop in voltage causing the OS to shutdown.
I had another occurence yesterday.
After the shutdown at 50%, I kept it running to about 45% in recovery and then it would be able to turn back on until maybe 30%, where it would shutdown and no be able to boot anymore but had 30% battery in recovery.
Got tired and right now using my Nexus 5 back up phone.

I am quite sure it's voltage yes, that can only be fixed with a new battery sadly. Might have to buy a new phone D: Honestly can't be bothered replacing the battery as I don't want to damage the phone.

Thanks! I was hoping it wasnt :/ lame.
So then now the question I'm wondering is how come the battery for nextbit degraded so fast when my 3-4 year old nexus 5 battery is still pretty good. :/
I was a kickstarter backer but now I think I'll be off Nextbit/Razer unless, I get the phones for free I guess.
I've been thinking, would there be a way to trick the phone into thinking it's being charged but in fact it isnt?
maybe a USB solar powered patch...it would not be enough to charge the phone but it should be enough to trick it into no going into 0 voltage.

Same issue with my phone. It's so bad now I can get it to power off even at 90% depending on what I use like record video. And I mean power off and not a force close as it will give me the pop up stating as such.
Anyone know of a third party company that will replace the battery or some trick to where my phone doesn't to do this anymore? I was also a backer and would like to enjoy my limited edition phone a bit longer.

Oddly I can get the phone to last longer by watching YouTube or Netflix, I have no idea why. Once or twice I managed to get the phone all the way to 0%, only then it turned off.
I've tried many things from battery calibration and flashing all sorts of roms and tweaks, even flashing older roms based on marshmallow. Nothing seems to work.
I seriously doubt you can find a third party company that'll replace the battery for you (Though if you find anything, LET US KNOW), considering that replacement batteries on themselves are pretty scarce. Plus the phone isn't the easiest of phones to tear apart without damaging it, sadly.
I hope you find a way to keep this awesome phone lasting a little longer.
I've tried Lineage, Carbon and just loaded up Paranoid. They all die at around 40%. It's been demoted to a tinker toy now. Maybe Nextbit can push out that almighty battery software upgrade they announced months ago...

It's not a software problem. And Nexbit/Razer no longer push out updates or give support anymore AFAIK.
The only way you can fix this problem is to replace the battery, or buy a new Robin.
I had the same problem. My Robin started to shut down at around 45% suddenly. Unfortunately, I can't find replacement battery on eBay or Taobao...

I ended up purchasing a new phone and it's doing well. My old midnight robin and my Mint one now have the same issue. My midnight robin doesn't even charge anymore. I looked for battery replacements but even if you did find one there is a high chance you'd break the phone taking it apart/putting it back together.

The battery issue is so annoy and it lead me to buy a new Pixel 2 instead. It's just a shame that I only own Robin lesser than a year.
I too recently started facing this problem it would shut down between 20-30%. I am on Carbon ROM.
UPDATE :
Something very odd happened.
I flashed OmniROM last weekend.
Its been a week and my battery issue i.e. shutting down randomly between 20-30% has gone.
I plugged in the charger at 2%.

Weird. I'm on CarbonROM and haven't experienced this yet. Did you dirty flash to OmniROM or clean flash? And did you ever dirty flash from another ROM to CarbonROM? Just curious and looking for a possible cause so the rest of us can avoid it.

Nope always did a clean flash, total 100% wipe through TWRP.
I was on AOSP, clean flashed to Carbon and now clean to Omni.
While on AOSP, all was fine never had sudden shutdown at XX% it would only shutdown if I try to check twitter or read on pocket or text or maps below 5-8% which I think is normal.
On Carbon it was working fine at first, 2-3 days later at 20% it just shut down in 2-3 minutes of just texting (no images, no videos, just text) This happened for few more days then I cleared the cache & dalvik and it didn't help, later it became worse. Instead of shutting down at 20% it started shutting down anywhere around 25%.
Most people said its the battery issue and it needs replacing. Some said its battery calibration issue. I assumed the worst and thought its battery issue and stayed cautious.
Now I switched to Omni and suddenly its all fine. So I assume its the battery calibration issue? Clean flash did that too maybe? I don't know but I am just assuming that happened.
Update, @/root? Has your battery remained functional under Omni?
