hi guys,
I have learnt a lot from xda and had been using this site for all of my android issues and mods. This is just fabulous.
So, I have been using my Note 1 0.1 since a couple of weeks and it's battery was acting in a funny manner.
PROBLEM
Sometimes it played well down to 60% from a full charge , then down to 15% in a minute and then down to 4% in next 5 minutes. Then i would restart the tablet and watch the battery suddenly having around 35% battery. THIS WAS SO WEIRD.
I used many battery calibrators from play store but none of them worked.
SOLUTION
And then out of frustration, I pulled out the back cover, took out the battery connector, and then placed it firmly, back to its place. switched it on used it for couple of minutes, and noticed the battery percentage. restarted, YAYY! same battery percentage. used it again, restarted, checked again. did it more often and noticed that the issue was solved.
CONCLUSION
The connector of the battery on the main board gets loosen up with time (maybe) and there is interruption of current transfer.
therefore the battery gets it's funny character.
HOPE I SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM, CHEERS!
Hi,
i have the same issue...
is there anybody tried this and can confirm this solution?
I also will try it.
More information
I tried to do what you suggest, I opened the tablet and found this:
can you please explain what to remove and how? Thank you
Lift the tape where the two back ribbons connect, release the clamps, remove the ribbons and reinsert them firmly and replace clamps and tape. That is what i did. Been having this problem for months! Will report back when i drop below 50. That is when all my problems start. Really hope this works!! Thanks for the help!
Update: I am sad to report that I am still experiencing the same problem.

I think this is wrong. In my suggestion the power connector is the white one in the middle with the red and green cables. Just remove the tape and lift the connector upwards to you.
I think the other two black ribbons are for the USB port and for the mic or so.
It worked for now. The battery consuming is extremely better then before.
I hope this solved the issue.

I apologize i left that part out but yes i did that as well. I would like to see others people's results as well though.
Or is it a rogue app?
I've been having the same, infuriating issue, including the CPU getting really hot.
I reflashed ROMs over and over, with and without formatting data, I went back to stock, flashed different kernels...OMG, the amount of time I have wasted is frightening.
I'm finally trying the following and it seems to be working:
- full wipe, reflashed Hyperdrive 4.1, as per his instructions
- on boot, waited 10 minutes and rebooted.
- after reboot I didn't allow ANY automatic updating and I started reinstalling apps one by one.
- battery life has been stable!
- And now I may be on to something! Yesterday, after updating the following 10 apps, the same crazy battery performance reappeared. Then when I uninstalled the updates to these 10, the battery life returned to normal and not acting crazy:
- Dropbox
- ES File Explorer File Manager
- Gmail
- Google
- Google Keyboard
- Google Text-to-Speech
- Google+
- Maps
- Papergarden (Tab S)
-Samsung Link
I'm going to one-by-one see which one induces the crazy battery performance.
Watch this space...
UPDATE: I think it's Samsung Link...when I updated it, the same f****ed-up battery behavior came back! I think I found it! Woo-hoo! Woo-hooo!
I`m having this issue too, got bored changing roms and kernels, KK or LP still no result.
Battery drains much faster on gaming like Dead Trigger 2. 100% to 20% less then in one hour. If browsing and watching videos or doing other stuff SOT is nearly 4-5 h. Besides, when boot into recovery, battery percentage always differs from ROM one and never matches to it. Didn`t try yet method in OP, but anyway, I`m interested in this NewPower99 Battery replacement kit. Did anyone test it?

I would be interested, but since we have three months lefts until Mobile World Conference in March and we could see the Note 10.1 2015 or Note pro alongside GALAXY S6.
Solution
I take the tablet to the samsung and the problem is the board, they had to change this part.

Thanks dude, that really helped me. I got rid of the the fake percentage and I have the feeling that my battery improved . Thank you again
Hi,
I have the gen 1 Moto 360 and I've used it pretty consistently since I got it shortly after release. I've recently started having a strange problem - if I turn the watch off (the whole thing through Settings, not the screen), it won't boot. It'll go through the Motorola "M" screen and then start on the Android Wear boot animation, but always crashes there. The screen turns off suddenly without any visible glitches or errors. I can do this all day long and it always crashes in the boot animation, though not always at the same time in it. On the other hand, if I place it in the charger (regardless of how much charge the battery has), it will automatically start booting and will make it all the way through no problem. I've tried booting through Recovery and even doing a Factory Reset but nothing seems to work other than putting it on the charger (which isn't terribly conventient unless I'm at home).
Based on some of the other threads I'm seeing this is probably a fairly minor problem (fairly easy to just not turn the watch off), but does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it (or even why putting it in the charger makes it work)?
Thanks!
Same problem being discussed here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-360/help/frustrated-360-off-randomly-t3198154
this exact problem occurred with my first moto360. moto replaced it as though it were still under warranty. the replacement watch is now starting to do the same thing. looks like it is just due to battery age, like their hardware that is designed to prevent it from turning on with a "low" battery is reading it wrong. Android Wear is just unstable enough so that some days Wear doesn't respond and eventually ends with a reboot which means OFF until back at charger, even with 80-90% battery!
i had this exact problem. it was a dodgy battery, i opened the watch up and replaced the battery. Since then it has been good
Finding a good quality WX30 battery in August 2018
Are you able to share where you sourced a 'good' WX30 battery from?
I've been happy with my Moto 360 Gen 1 for exactly 2 years, until a couple of weeks ago when all the classic battery problems started (random shutdowns after a couple of hours, still 70% left, slightly bulging back). I've succeeded in learning how to get out the 4 clips, disassemble and reassemble the body, kudos = search for YouTube 'easy Moto 360 batery replacement video'.
Unless anyone has any good tips, I'm about to play the eBay battery lottery. Motorola has confirmed to me that they do not sell the batteries separately. Typical.

I have literally changed mine this morning... So far so good, no random dying at 70%+ and I ordered this one... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163139641091
I doubt its genuine. its is 330mAh not 300mAh and is from a different manufacturer, however, its worth a tenner to see what happens! Also, how easy is the dissassembly fromt hat video, I watched the exact same one. was in peices in 10 minutes and back together quicker!

I have the same problem
I leave it charging for 5 to 10 minutes and it will boot up but it also crashes and shuts down itself
I feel like the watch is selfaware
I need help
Thanks
So there is a guy selling a used Moto 360 v1 black in excellent condition and the battery has no problem with a day of juice (from what he said).
No cracked back either.
I am thinking to get a smart watch because I am bored of my classic watches, one got scratches on the glass and the other is boring.
Why the Moto 360? because I want the bigger screen possible as I have a bit trouble reading LCD screens with small fonts.
Here my questions:
-How easy the back can get cracks? Jogging with this watch for example is a bad idea?
-Is it true latest updates made this watch much faster and lags are ironed out?
-About battery cycles, if I use tilt to wake will it empty the battery too fast?
-I saw complaint about the battery completely dying after 2 years more or less, are all Moto 360 v1 having this problem or it's lottery?
I've had a Moto 360 since shortly after launch, and it's still working on its original battery (though it only gets one day now, not two, and my main use is for checking the time, weather forecast, and sometimes alerts — definitely light use).
I've always used tilt to wake (wasn't even aware that could be turned off, except by putting it into theater mode). It's pseudo-ambient display mode will drain the battery much quicker, though.
I've heard the back cracking happens to folks with small wrists, which isn't me. Back on mine is fine.
Haven't had any lag problems since the first updates, but again my use is light.

Yeah, all that true but most likely - forget about upgrading to 2.0
Hope this brings some major fixes

looks like it is just a security patch update. Patches are now updated to 1st October 2017.

Any information about 7.1 ?
Pretty sure this update is the reason my phone just turns off randomly... Have to plug it into an OEM charger to get the phone to start back up. Battery drains naturally over time if I don't use the phone, but if I try to run apps, it randomly shuts off.

Sounds like similar situation that I have. If I leave the phone unattended + off the charger, it will be fine and gradually the battery will die. If I go to use apps, the phone will randomly shut down and require an OEM charger to be used again.
Later today I will be disassembling this phone to ensure nothing internal is loose, as it could be possible that something is nearly disconnected causing the phone to freak out. If I can't find a resolution, time for a new phone!

Hello! Not sure if I just got lucky, but my phone is now working fine after fully disassembling it and re-assembling it. My guess is that the battery pin connector gets loose over time.
Here are a few videos that will prove to be useful in your journey:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IYaFmbwFOA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ukUd6mPtew **Although this video is covering REPLACING the charging port, it also provides good info on how to ensure the power + volume up/down buttons go back in
---
It took be about 30 minutes to fully disassemble the phone. Some words of advice: MAKE SURE that all connectors are tightly secured and locked in place (to be locked in place, the black bar should be at the top of the connector -- I ended up putting the phone back together and the screen was all twitchy due to some loose connections). So, it may have totally been unrelated to this software update, as it SEEMS to be working for now. I did notice that my battery indicator is a bit out of whack after fully disassembling, so I'm going to let the battery drain all the way then fully charge it up again to see if that gets resolved by doing that as well.
Worth a shot -- I ended up having all the needed tools (heat gun / T4 and T5 screwdriver / spudger tool / something sharp like razor blade to peel off back cover).
time to buy a heat gun
Now my battery is draining ...

Since applying this security patch my Droid Turbo 2 is now draining battery badly. I did a factory reset from within the Settings -> Backup & Reset thinking that might help. It seems to be draining equally fast even after doing that. I might make it 7 hours before its dead (it was easily lasting through the day with 30% or more charge left after 15 hours). The phone is always hot as well, even just sitting on my desk next to me.
Any thoughts as to doing a factory reset from Power + Volume down resulting in a difference? I am not super familiar with the difference between that type of reset and a Backup & Reset within the phone.

no as far as i know, both methods do the same thing. Having a factory reset option in recovery mode is handy when the phone cannot boot properly
Come on Motorola
You can't do this to me!
I bought this phone and it came with Nougat 7.0 and this happens?
Shutdowns randomly, Battery going down so fast.
OMG I regret getting it! and what's funny.. I can't do anything to fix this. I have just to sit there looking at my kinda-broken phone.
Thanks Moto.

There shouldn't be much of a difference, but if you believe the problem to be software related, I suggest doing the Power + Volume down option and DO NOT add back your gmail account (which will sync your contacts/apps/photos/etc.) until thoroughly testing the device. It might just be an app causing it, but more than likely this damn update. All of my problems started after the update as well, so I don't know if phone manufacturers release specific updates to force user's to upgrade, but it's BS. Even moreso because you can't rollback to an older version of Android as the Bootloader is locked and nobody has cracked it.
Moto X Force (XT580) have not recieved any update after the Last N update , securiy patch is still as before. Good to se Verizon is updating , hope Motorola/Lenovo rolls out the same
Looks like the Update has HIT the Moto X Force (XT1580) finally..The version looks diffrent from the verizon dt2. Hope it brings improvement to device:fingers-crossed::laugh:
Hi everyone -
I replaced my battery in my Droid Turbo 2 about 1.5 weeks ago, and it has appeared to resolved my issue. If you are having random shutdown issues after this update, you might just also been plagued with a bad battery. Replacement batteries are $20-$30 online, and take about 15-20 minutes to replace. Since replacement, my phone has been working fine. Going forward, I am going to try to use OEM chargers, avoid allowing my phone to stay on charger after 100%, and to not use Apps that drain the battery for long periods of time.
So out of nowhere my phone rebooted 3 times in the span of five minutes. The phone was getting super hot so I removed the battery and let it cool off a bit. Well things aren't looking up now:
- Cannot connect to wifi and bluetooth ( I don't have a sim card, I had money problems by the time I finished paying the phone over a year ago, been using an app for phone calls and messages since)
- Phone remain warm-hot even if not in use
-Battery seems to deplete faster
-The time is not keeping up. So far 28 minutes of difference with current time.
I have the phone for over three years and seems like it's the end of the road for it. Does anyone knows whether it's just a battery issue or the phone is just on the verge of death?
Never mind I fix the issue by watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAiu3jzKExk
