Hi. I have a Voda branded TP2.
I have installed the 1% battery indicator and have realised that the battery is dropping at an alarming rate. In two hours without any data activity, just two calls of 5 mins each and the battery has already reached 74%. The number drops in front of my eyes. Quite scary actually.
Anybody else faced a similar porblem?
2 things I can advice you (as a TP2 beginner)
-First times: charge up to 12 hours non-stop even when light is green (has nothing to do with phone but with the chemical proces inyour battery) this will prolong lifetime
-This TP2 WWE ROM has a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of background running stuff compared to other WM 6.1 - ROMS. So you thing it is not using any current but it is!
Maybe you could install advance task manager and check out all running programs and processes ...
hope this helps ...

Thanks. I have done the 12 hours charging many times - about 6-7 times. Will try the advanced task manager.
Anybody else with a battery problem?
Any application / software is known to be a battery drainer?
Thanks
Had a strange one last night. Went to be, put the phone on charge (was about 16% iirc), and the orange light came on to say it was charging. Then, this morning at about 3am, I hear the phone making bleeps. Check it out, and it's at 5%, with orange light flashing. Take out charger, put it back in, and it starts charging. I went out afterwards, came back about 4.30, and it says it was about 80% complete. Go sleep, wake up about 7.30am, and it's fully charged (green light). Then, I unplug charger, turn on, and it says 96%, and I notice it dropping the amount of charge in front of me (like OP's notice), until it got to about 91%.
Now, about 5 hours later, it reckons the charge is 74%. So dunno why it went down so quickly, and why it didn't actually charge... But will keep my eye on it and see how it goes...
data connection
Another way 2 keep your eye on it: check data connection (start>settings>connections>comm manager) a lot of stuff open this connection which uses power. if it turns on without you knowing .... (especially auto-update plugins (weather?)), sometimes AS also ...

For indo, it says here (amongst others)

that it isn't a good idea to do "old style battery cycling"
I really don't know what to think of LiPo battery management, so many different theories.
Also, something that annoys me is that I fully charge the TP2 overnight, in the morning the lights green. If I simply unlug charger and plug in back in it well go back orange and stay orange for a good half hour... and I can start again a few times...
To be honest, I had to hard reset my device couple of times and haven't had time to 'fully' recharge it after the resets.
I guess I will give it a few days of full charging and then check on the battery.
But, I am not joking when the 1% battery meter just drops numbers faster than a meter at the gas station.

I had this problem when I have push mail turn on. If you disable push mail and set it to receive like every 15 mins, it save the power a lot.
Try the advance config to auto disconnect every x mins, this will helps as well.
Hi HaveryR and others,
yep your source isn't to bad. Beginning with full charges (6 to 12 hrs instead of 3 like the manual says) isn't about the old charge-memory story (because Lithium-Ion battery don't work this way, only the nickel-cadmium and nimH do) but about fully charging cells.
I mean the best way to look upon this is like a pile of bricks on top of each other (all different cells if you wish). So the first time it is important to give all the bricks enough time to charge - so even when it says 100% it does not mean that it has (you're indicator is a feedback of a reading by your cpu). So not all the bricks (let's say) have the same quality (yesyes even in this day and age of hight teck).
So you can also take this parallel to discharging: if you discharge fully, you risk that one of these bricks get busted and so will NEVER recover.
So i agree on this with your source a LiOn batter is bettery served with frequent partial charging and must NEVER be drained completely

Guys,
I put the TP2 on for charging the whole night (about 9 hours). In the morning the LED was green and the battery meter said 100%. I took the charger off from the handset and re-inserted the tip in. Guess what? 95%.
AM not sure if it is a battery problem or handset problem?
Its come down to 73% with just one phone call of 5 mins. Mail is on, but its on manual and havent pulled anything since morning.
Any idea?
Hi all,
I've been having issues with my phone lasting nowhere as long as my girlfriends identical one,
I installed Quick System Info on both phones, Killed all tasks.. Not only is my display duller than hers on the lowest setting using the power control widget but the voltage on my battery is 3737mV while hers is 4071mV..
Is this cause for concern?
Update, forgot to mention, this is from a full charge on both handsets.
Sounds like your battery is fu#ked!
There seems to be an issue with the way android reports the battery voltage. If I leave my phone on the charger until the light goes green and the indicator says 100%, the voltage will often report between 4.146v - 4.156v.
Upon unplugging the phone would drop to 99% and 4.125v almost immediately.
I noticed the other day that after leaving the battery on the charger overnight the voltage was reporting as 4.206v and I was able to use the phone for over 15min before it dropped to 99% from 100%.
Minimum voltage before your phone powers off is around 3.6v - 3.650v. So 3.737 is pretty close to the cut-off point. The OS is may report 100% charge but your battery is not holding charge.
I had a battery on a different device that was like this. The battery had collapsed. I could charge it for 24hrs and it would not make a difference. Within 30min of use or 1 phone call it would die.
Does your battery have any bugles, bumps or protrusions? This is often a sign of a collapsed battery.
Edit: Don't write when you're tired, silly things come out of your fingers! Soz!
have you tried to swap batteries between the two phones. That will exclude either your phone or the battery from being faulty.
Yes, after scratching my head for a few days I did eventualy come up with the genius idea of putting the battery from the other phone into my phone!! and after charging it up, set it down for an hour and then checked and the battery was on 98% !!
So it looks like there is something wrong with my battery, This morning I woke up and my phone had been charging for 7 hours and was fully charged, I looked at the battery meter and it said 100%, I turned the phone off then back on and checked again.. 90% ???? WTF ??? just from turning the phone off and on?
Hello,
Yesterday I forgot my phone in my car at 8am...
In the day I call it from my work, and it didn't ring, direct to "answering machine" (?)
at 7pm, I came back to my car, the phone was OFF, I powered it, 87% of battery remaining...
I don't know it was OFF, so my question is : Is there a heat protection that shut down the phone ?
Because I don't know why it was off.
Thank you
My phone gets pretty damn hot. Never had it shut down on me.
Was is plugged in?
I have had my phone restart on me a couple of times now due to the heat issue. Without the phone being charged i get battery temp readings of 41 degrees. It gets higher when plugged in to the charger
Your car interior can get over 60 degrees C in a short time if in the sun! I wouldn't be surprised if the phone shut itself down.
I've seen 40 degrees plus on normal usage and the phone seems fine.
Not sure what's going on but my moto 360 has twice this week gone from 40% battery to dead instantly. Is my battery going bad or is something else going on ? This is a replacement unit from probably Jan or so sine July first moto back cracked and I warranty replaced it.
I had the same issue now 3 days in a row - take the watch off the charger at 7am, go to check it at about 10, battery shows steady drain normally and says it should last until about 6am the next day. At noon, I look at it and the battery is down to about 30% left and the chart shows it taking a nose dive. Another 30 minutes and it's dead. What gives? This just started. Anyone know?
I am having the same issue. This happens especially happens when I do somehting processor intensive.
Decided to reset the watch, and during the setup process where it syncs my apps, I have to put it on the charger or it will turn itself off, even though it was fully charged.
Phone was at 98% battery. Did a reboot as I do every morning, and when it started up again it showed 91% battery. I know reboots don't take 7% battery, so what gives?
My Pixel 2 XL has been having some battery reporting issues, I noticed that when I took my phone off the charger it would lose 15% very quickly then stabilize. Rebooting would also cause a drop in indicated battery %. That's my guess. Investigating to see if it can be fixed by doing a full charge/discharge cycle.

I've also been seeing this issue! I will also be letting it do a full cycle today to see if it helps since it only started a few days ago.
My battery seems to be okay but my charge port when I place the cable in it doesn't feel like it fits snugly it almost has a slight wobble to it. Have you guys been noticing that as well?
I've actually been experiencing this as well for a week, I called up Verizon and they shipped me a new phone. So far no charge issue anymore on this one.
I have experienced this too
Tested this again this morning. Had the phone charging overnight.
Unplugged it, it showed 100% battery.
Immediately rebooted, and it dropped to 96%.
With a lot of phones, battery stats reset on reboot. Also- the percentage isn't a perfect science. Just let the phone do its thing. Run the battery down and recharge it. No need to reboot the thing every day.
The battery has been great for me. I use my phone extensively throughout the day, maybe 3-5 hours on time, I always make a day of use without needing to plug in. I had a light use day yesterday, and had 30% left @ 11pm, after pulling off charge the night before @ 11:30pm.
Pleased to announce that (in my case at least) doing a full cycle reset the fuel gauge and it is now working properly. I've never seen a device come with a miscalibrated fuel gauge from the factory, so that was odd. I usually keep my li-ion powered devices between 80% and 30% SoC(state of charge) to reduce cell degradation so we'll see if the fuel gauge becomes uncalibrated over time (which would be somewhat unusual) or if this was simply a software fluke.
Yea I have noticed that in my case, my phone says 100% on the charger so I will restart the phone while still plugged up and once it's booted back up it says 98% so it lost 2% while hooked up to the charger lol. Doesn't seem to affect the battery life. I'm still able to get 5 hrs of screen on time but I will try to kill it completely and charge fully today and see if it fixes it.
This morning I didn't do the restart and didn't use the phone or even turn my screen on and within fifteen minutes I turned it on to 98 % remaining.
