So, I got a new battery for my Wizard a month ago, as of just recently (or recently noticed) it dies in just a few hours, and it drains faster as it gets lower (noticed using HomeScreen ++, battery discharge rises from 136 mA, up to around 400+ mA).
So, is there any good reason why the battery is dying so fast?
Relatedly, what could cause it?
I'm running WM 6.5 build 21502.
ROM here.

Fixed, had to discharge, freeze the battery, recharge, repeat. Still odd I had to run through it again even though it's a new battery...

Had my wildfire for a few months now, finally decided to root and flash a ROM after my service provider failed to roll out froyo. It's all been pretty simple and I've had no real difficulties, but my battery is now draining at a stupid rate.
I mean, with all the typical battery draining applications/services off it is still draining faster than pre-flash with all of them on. Literally like 1% a minute while hardly doing anything.
I've not bothered to overclock, even went so far as to underclock processor, still to no avail.
I've tried a few ROMs now and they're all the same, currently running 6.1.0 wildpuzzle. It doesn't help that I have a slow charger (original broke), this normally would do a full charge in around 10 hours so I'd leave it overnight. But now the battery drains nearly as quick as it can charge.... I've not even had it at 100% power since upgrading to Froyo.
Any ideas how to fix this? Obvious suggestions will be to try a fast charger (will do tomorrow round a friends) but I cant see this making a difference other than making it possible to fully charge and waste again in an hour after unplugging.
Battery life was typically 8-48 hours previously.
Ok, so I've finally got the battery to charger to full. However, the voltage reading is given as 4V, whereas is was previously around 4.2. Battery isn't fully charged. WAT DO? :\

Hello, as tittle says I use my defy with cm7.1 fine it runs the battery down at normal pace (around 10 hours heavy use then gives me my warning at 10% and flashed LED then down to 1% .
That's good right?
Problem is at 1% then I can carry on using it at 1% for about 2 hours (so far) it wont die????
I even got a battery drainage app and that ran for over an hour.
What can I do?
Is it a miracle?
defy cm7
Try battery calibration.
at 1%... just keep doing something till it actually turns off... then charge the battery till it reaches 100% without a break.
I got the same issue with CM7.2 nightly. It was solved for me performing the battery recalibration, as darshaonline suggested. To do this, just follow the steps for 'Battery recalibration in the Cyanogenmod Wiki'
me and some of my friends have the same problem. we all have 2300 mAh battery, but the phone reads only 500mAh, so it shows super fast (30-40%/h) draining, but when we reach 1%, we can carry on using for about a day. we couldnt find any solution to get the battery capacity reading right, the only thing we could come up with to find out the current charge was to guess it based on the battery voltage. our range is from 3,2V to 4.2V.

Last week I got a new battery installed in my Nexus 4. I was using the original, around 2 year old battery, and I found it would drain very quickly below 50%. I had a shop install the new battery for me, I don't know if it was an official LG battery or not.
I ran the battery down to zero percent my first night with it, and have charged it at night ever since.
When I unplug the battery in the morning the battery percentage will suddenly drop down to 88-94% in about 1 minute. After this the battery drains normally and I get good battery life.
Today I tried charging it back up to 100% after it had dropped to 88 %. It charged to 100, and drained normally down to 95. Then, in a minute or two, it dropped down to 84, and has been draining normally.
Battery life is good, but the strange behaviour makes me think something is wrong with the battery. My question is: is something wrong with this battery, or is this normal behaviour? If it is, than I can ask them to give me a new battery. All this is with the stock ROM. I flashed 5.1 since getting the new battery.
Exactly the same here: Old battery made a worn-out impression, so bought a new one. Actually tried three different new ones from ebay now, all do the same: They charge up to 4.3V around, and when unplugged drain to 87% in a few minutes, i noticed the voltage going down to 4.0/.1V mostly, too.
The current battery seems ok from battery life, but i want an even distribution of the battery status, no matter the voltages - how can i achieve/fix this?
Same here.
Are there any solutions for this issue?
Well.
My phone an i9301i (samsung s3 neo spain).
My battery anker 7200 mah.
My ROM now is cyano 4.4.4. Optimized with vulpix rc4.
My problem.
When i use muy phone.. The battery drains quickly. For example facebook in browser intermitently in 8 hours can drain an 50%. I know that battery can do 12-16 hours of screen up. I unplugged The battery from the phone and when the system is up. The measurer of the phone marks an 85-90 %. I'm crazy....
I calibrated the battery in every posible way view in internet and nothing works.
Any ideas.
Is an ROM bug?
Is the ROM only prepared for the stock battery of 2100mah?
Thanks and sorry for my english. Im spanish
Well there ware similar problems before dating to older unofficial CM days that battery doesn't change up to 100% properly. Regularly normal boot up uses 2~3% of normal battery. Chrome does eat battery abnormally much more than web view or Gecko based browsers. Think you're results are actually as they should be concerning SOT time wile browsing but I don't see a reason for complaining there. I use regular sized Anker 2200 mAh & on Official CM12.1 my SOT varies from 4+ h to 6+h depending what I am doing with it & where I am.
I don't know whats the problem. But android shows a battery drain abnormally faster. The battery charge is normal.
Why the difference is much bigger. When the battery arribes a 0 the phone is off...... But in the battery there is an 30-40-50 % energy ....
Im crazy...
Well it actually is regulated by the voltage level & not a capacity... Switch the ROM.
anker battery 7200mah i used too...
just with replace trick was used all capacity of battery
replace the battery and continue use of it... u have higher % after replace and reconnect
Zola. I"ve installed cyano 5.1.1 official. I will say if goles wrong por well.
Needforspiz..... Thats is what i do. But its not the best thing for use The phone. I wish the correct use of battery measurement.
Thanks for yours answers
Somehow android notify the battery is 7200 Mah??????.
i think that this is a value android not change.
The battery has 4 months. The phone has 1 year and half.
What's the problem. Phone or Android?????.................................
Thanks for answer me.

Hey guys,
I'm writing you because I'm new in terms of battery issues for my Nexus 6P..
Right now, my battery is on 63% of its capacity per Accubattery. The good thing is that I'm not having any random reboot or early shutdowns. Even the battery is going down until 8% with no issue. The only problem is that when battery reaches out 30%, it downgrades faster.
I got a new battery this morning, but, I'm not sure if I should wait until my current battery dies to change it.
I'm having 3,5 SOT with my current battery and I'm fine with it.
My concern is: Will I get hardware problems in the future if I wait until my current battery dies or start with early shutdowns?. Should I change my current battery anyway?
In my case, was the same, 3.5 of screen or less, decided change it myself, now generally 5 hours of screen, shutdown at 3% and charges to 93%, is an oem battery, the process of changing is not hard.
The future hardware problem may be relationated with random shutdowns.

Thank you bro, I'll replace my battery then
I replaced my battery not long ago. Day and night difference.
I was getting around 2.5 hours of screen on and now I am getting like 4.5. hours.
