My Pixel C is running with up to date stock ROM, I experience random freezes and sluggish behavior.
I've already performed a factory reset but it doesn't stop the symptom.
Is it because of aging components or the current stock ROM ?

It's probably the battery deteriorating. Does it degrade when the battery is fully charged or only when it is somewhat depleted? Does it degrade if you are using it while the charger is plugged in? You may need to keep it plugged in when using it.

I just checked with the charger connected, Chrome crashed twice and Two Dots loaded slowly.

I've been using this ROM for a while but recently noticed a problem with the battery. Starting last week I noticed that even though my sync is set to every hour, I would constantly see the sync icon flashing and that data polling was killing a fully charged battery in about an hour.
Then I noticed that my standard Sprint USB-to-wall charger wasn't working correctly. The battery was being depleted faster than it could recharge! The same thing happened when I used the USB cable to charge from my computer. Fortunately someone at work had a "ChargePod" that is really powerful and my phone was able to re-charge.
So the other day I wiped and re-flashed the ROM. Still had the same problem.
Yesterday I replaced the battery with a brand new HTC-OEM battery. Still have the same problem.
Since the battery has been replaced, I'm ruling that out as the cause. Can anyone suggest anything else?
Perhaps you have a bad download? When you reflashed did you use the same download that you used the first time? You said that the rom had been running fine, but it's worth a shot. Usually the constant syncing is caused by a missing app that would normally sync with everything else, like if you removed one part of Friend Stream. Gmail has also been an issue for some people in relation to syncing.
If you restored your apps or data, whatever was causing the issue to begin with could have triggered it again upon restore. It could also be hardware related.
Did you happen to wipe battery stats without a full charge and proper calibration? Either way, try recalibrating your battery.
It could be any number of things, I think you're just going to have to do some testing.

Battery depleting
Could be a faulty usb cord, if it got crimped. Don't think its the charger since the phone will not charger from charger or computer. Goto Sprint store and try one of their usb cords.
A little more info on this...
So I discovered that a friend's CallPod Chargepod will charge the phone. These things are strong - putting out something like 940mA (?) per connected device.
A usb-computer-charge is ~100mA and I don't know what my HTC (oem) wall chargers put out but I'm guessing maybe in the 500mA range?
So, at some point in the almost 2 years I've owned the phone it has decided to only accept high-power chargers! I'd really like to figure it out but now that Motorola sells 1A chargers for ~$5 on Amazon I can just upgrade if needed.

Computer usb normally charges at about 500ma, not 100ma. And the stock HTC charger charges at 1000ma.
As stated above, it could be a bad usb cable, or a loose usb port on the phone. Try flashing a different rom just to rule that out.
I'd say download battery calibration from the market.make sure your fully charged and go from there.or you could fully charge Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, then allow your phone to die all the way to 0%.followed by recharging without any interruption.

Have you tried another cord, I had an issue like this and a new cord fixed it. Also are you charging through a computer or wall socket or both?

USB to PC
I would try another cord and/or a different pc if possible.
Also check the battery stats to see if a certain app takes up a lot of battery (it may restart the app as soon as you kill it).
If none of that works I would wipe and re-install the rom or another rom for testing purposes.
And if it occurs on multiple roms/kernals it maybe hardware/battery related.
i believe you shouldn't charge it with a PC usually. i could be wrong though.

Nothing wrong with charging via a PC. It'll just charge a lot slower.

Not necessarily - in my experience it depends on how much power your computer's USB ports are capable of providing, and even that can vary depending on what controller is powering what ports and the like. I normally charge my phone from my computer and it takes roughly the same time as using the wall charger, though I've noticed that it doesn't seem to charge as quickly on at least one or two other computers I've had the phone plugged into.
USB usually has 500mA, where as the charger supplied by Samsung has 1000mA. It -will- charge faster with the supplied charger.

That is still sufficient power to run the phone without the battery. So at worse, the battery stays at the same percentage. It's not normal for the battery to drop while the phone is plugged in.

Higher powered USB ports are far and few inbetween. Usually higher end PC's/controllers will accommodate this. Most PC's though only push about 500mA via the USB ports.

once in while my phone will bug out like that, even if you turn it on and off. only way to really fix it is a battery pull.
I have found that if I am doing anything on it (screen on, gaming, Internet, etc.) and connected to my laptop, it often will not have enough power on the subject to compensate for what I am using and will only slow the speed the battery decreases.
That's crazy. Try a factory install. Another possible point of contention, lock frequencies and stop all overclocking. On custom Roms is your clock/governor settings set in the rom OR an app? If you have both set to boot they could be conflicting and constantly switching clock speed and governor settings.
Another thing to do. Charge to 100%. Go into recovery and delete your battery stats
yeah.. that's happened with me while pc usb charging. i was running maps, playing music, and texting at the same time with the screen constantly on. at first it was a slow drain.. then if i turn the screen off it would charge.. just too many things at once. but governor, voltages, schedulers do play a factor.
I don't think you guys realize. I don't have a single app running. At lunch time today I basically had 95% charge on my phone -- and it was connected to my computer.
In about 5 hours the ONLY thing I did was send a few txts. Sent maybe 20 txts in 5 hours. The ENTIRE time my phone was plugged in.
My phone is now at 84% and it's super hot. Opening battery to see what's up? doesn't show anything using any battery juice.
This phone fuking sucks.

This only happens while charging via PC?
What is it that's getting hot, the very bottom of the phone or the battery?
Have you tried going to retail store with this problem and see if they swap out the battery for you? Might just be a faulty battery.
Have you tried different PC's and/or different usb cables?

I just had the same problem with my brand new stock Galaxy S4.
I bought the new 2amp Genuine Samsung car charger and on the 1st use with my phone turned off it took 3 hours to charge 49 % battery and when i turned the phone on it would say it was charging but the battery was going down.
Faulty cable. Used the car charger with cable provided with phone, all fine. But the Galaxy S4 with auto brightness even with the genuine wall charger if you are playing games it takes ages ti charge and sometimes won't even charge and loose battery.
Just use the genuine charger and try not to use the phone while charging.
Hi,
how described at the link support.google.com/nexus/answer/3257354?hl=en&ref_topic=3415471 the nexus 7 should not charge when is turned on and plugged to a computer but mine does.
I think it is strange it charges when I plug to usb computer but I need to plug because I use it to test apps during development.
Is it the normal behavior to charge also when turned on?
Initally I posted (wrongly) on first gen nexus 7 forum, so apologize me if you saw this post in the other forum

The page is technically correct, if a bit misleading. It will show the charging icon and draw power with it plugged into a USB port, but it's still going to run down the battery faster than it can recharge if the screen is on, IIRC.
That the N7 charges with the screen on is normal. But it's limited to 2.5W power draw from the USB port. Depending on CPU load / display brightness, you will easily exceed that.
They probably thought it would be less confusing for users to state it doesn't charge, when in fact it really depends on the power consumption.
I must leqve the display on because I test my applications on it, so now I don't understand if I can damage the nexus using it as a dev terminal

You won't. The charger will stop charging when the battery is full. Of course, the battery will degrade faster, if it's constantly kept at full charge.
But there is this (Battery life extender):

After a test dev session, generally runs for 15 minutes, I unplug the device and I use it normally until battery is low or under 1% so I hope this "good citizen" behavior can help battery life.

Good to know about these tweaks , thanks
Hi,
Situation as follows:
15% battery - "low battery" notification
14%, plug in charger
13% WTF -> Settings app shows,that tablet is charging
Reboot (this fixes the problem)
21%
The thing is:
I do not understand why this is happening. It COULD be related to CM12.1 or to the tablet (hardware). I am currently on the nightly from 8th February, but this is happening for a quite long time now...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Tablet hardware, look for reseating battery or replacing for our tablet on YouTube, mine does same from stock to cm13
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Getting the same. The battery charge level is going crazy. Sometimes 15% and decreasing switch off tablet, unplug, replug boot, it now shows 60% (rom is in line with kernel)
So I'd say hardware kernel interaction when true level goes under 20%. Also make sure to have a proper charger and cable.
I seem to have it less often with stock rom.
Nothing to worry about when you know it..
Hi,
I tried to clean flash cm12.1 with opengoogleapps. Reporting back what happens
Hello,
do you have any updates on this issue? I experience exactly the same...tablet turns off, because of low battery, when I turn it on directly afterwards it claims ~30%-50% battery left.
I tried recalibrating the battery without any visible effect.
I do not know what helped....
I did 2 things:
Change the Micro USB cable to a high quality one (I use the one, which shipped with my paperwhite)
I use a different charger ( http://www.amazon.de/gp/switch-lang...ef=cs_switchlang?ie=UTF8&language=en_GB&psc=1 )
This resolved the issue for me (I did try a lot. Maybe I did clean caches in recovery).
Hope this helps !
One fine morning my Note 10.1 2014 battery started showing as 0% and will not 'charge' (i.e., percentage will not rise). As a result, the tablet has to stay plugged-in always to use it (just like a desktop computer). The moment it is unplugged, it shuts down in 1 or 2 seconds. Tried different chargers/cables/flex cables/new battery/uninstalling/reinstalling/warming...& what not. But nothing solves the issue. I came to know that the battery is actually holding/taking in charge which is evident from the fact that the tablet runs without being plugged-in in the recovery/TWRP mode! It seems just that the android OS is not recognizing the charging. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Is the battery really good? The boot menu uses a lot less current than normal boot up operation.
Otherwise you're looking at a possible mobo failure. If it has a charger pcb it could be that.
A Samsung Experience center at a Best Buy might be able to sort it out for you.

It is not the battery, I am pretty sure! As for the other possible causes suggested, it seems Samsung considers the product too 'old' now to look into/offer any service/parts replacement. Anyway, thanks for the quick reply!
I got the same experience. Recently installed LOS14.1 on my Samsung 2 7.0 and battery just drained and inspite charging it overnight never recovered. I think it's really the LOS 14.1. Now I cant even boot it up anymore.

Please do post, if you find a solution!
I strongly doubt that LOS14.1 (lineage-14.1-20210320-UNOFFICIAL-lt03lte) is the culprit as my old P605 still works with the unchanged battery.
Once charged it lasts for quite some days (usage 0.5h/day) without problems.
It's always in flight mode and mostly WLAN is shut off.
It's not that cuz of an OS it's the old battery problem....
Same thing happens to one of my cellhphones.
I charrge it to 100 % while it's turned OFF then tomorrow I turned it on and battery is at 1 %, 0 % and shuts off.
It's just old Li-Ion battery which needs replacement.
After having replaced the battery with a new one with about 50% charge the discharged P605 would only recharge to the level of the original charge. It returned to normal behaviour after charging once with the original 5v/2A charger and the original cable with the second GND contact missing. If the latter did the trick, with most cables u can't tell whether the contact is wired to GND or not.
But in the days of miniUSB, the second GND was sometimes used to put the device in charge or pc connection mode, by swapping cables.
