My battery really overheats now. I was at a club 2 weeks ago my phone dropped with my battery popping out! there was a tiny bit of water on it, but i put the phone in a bag of rice for 3 days. I then tried to put the battery in, it was dead. I then proceeded to go to 2 Mobile repair people and get them to look inside my phone to see if there was water damage! 1 said there was none, the other said there was some.
I found out later that my phone still turned on with a friends battery so i left my phone on the table for 2 weeks, ordered battery off of ebay. I found out that i could bring my original HTC battery to life. Charged it last night, and now SPARE Parts is telling me its too hot and overheating and it is!!.....Everything on the phone works fine, Everything! except the battery is getting VERY veryyy hottt arounnd 48-49 C. when the normal for me was 38-41 C. any ideas? i really dont want to sell the phone, i know someone would buy it with a battery problem
Battery + water is the worst equation you can have.
Overheating battery can explode (rare, but possible in your case), stop using your phone and get a new one ASAP.

I have just charged it and left it in rice today. I checked this morning and the battery didnt overheat, the temperature seemed fine. Im going to test it after work today and if it overheats ill give it away or something. But Hopefully it wont.
I know you've been on here for a while but I figured I throw down some basic suggestions if it starts doing it again.
Are you oc'd? What to, and which CPU manager do you use (CM or SetCPU)? Do you have a temp profile set for SetCPU?
Is there a process that's eating up your CPU clock cycles? DRM, Downloads, and 3D Gallery cause the Android Media process to make the CPU max out it's set clock frequency sometimes. So check that if it does it again.

Lets get this straight... your problem is with the ORIGINAL battery, not the replacement one you ordered off efag?
You smashed the new battery, its probably shorted out internally. Wait for the new one to arrive, try it out, and then come back here if it is still doing the same thing.
Order a new OFFICIAL HTC battery. You're making it seem (at least to me) that it is the battery not the phone that is acting up.

Just dried out the phone and my htc battery seems to be ok. But i dont think it will last, i might just buy the orginal one from the HTC website. The chinese batteries i got from ebay are crappy and die within the hour.....(voltage issue with my phone maybe??)
Im charging the htc battery right now, ill see how it goes, it drains 1% every 2-3 mins, i believe its a battery fault, Im just gonna order a HTC battery.
I am OC and it does overheat when doing things, but now it seems fine, the temperature reading is fine and same as what i have had back when i originally had it (before damage)
Will be buying new battery, i guess i gotta fork out the $50 for the official one
Edit** just bought the brand new ones for $10 from Ebay. I hope my phone isnt overpowering the batteries.
It wouldn't hurt to take apart your phone and clean off any corrosive material left on the board.
Just follow one of the tutorials for disassembling and use a old toothbrush and rubbing alcohol to do so. Use the alcohol very carefully and apply it to the brush directly and not the board. Good luck!

Could you link me to a video or guide doing that? Im super paranoid when taking apart something i love .
I tried the orginal battery, (temperatures fine, but went down 1% every 2-3 mins)
^^ i tried the 2 chinese batteries (1500mah) i got for $10 from Ebay and they also DIED, (draining 1% every 2-3 minutes.)
What is the cause of this??? I Doubt 3 batteries in a row are faulty?...
Does anyone know how to fix this? what would cause my batteries to be drained 1% every 2-3 minutes? the phone lasts less than 1 hour.
I have tried 3 batteries......any help is appreciated.
your phones has water damage most likely.
my previous phone got water damage from me using it in the shower.
(not literally in the shower bu i had it by the sink cuz i listened to music)
im assuming water vapor got in my phone and messed it up.
afterward i started experiencing what you are. tried different batteries but the phone killed em quickly.
tried the batteries on other phones and they worked fine.
I came to the conclusion that it was the phone that was damaged and not the battery. like with yours everything worked except it died fast.
try the batteries on other phones and if they don't die fast then it might be your phone that's water damaged. I think you can draw the same conclusion if batteries that work on other phones die on yours quickly. must be th same phone of course lol

thanks buddy! finally some good input. I gave it to a repair shop who apparently said they can fix Shortages on the main PCB board. expecting a call tomorrow. I take it you just had to buy a new phone??? what happened to your phone now?
So FutureTel Solutions said they can fix my phone in Ontario.....its water damaged and will cost about $250 or less to replace.
My question is: Is the price worth it? I for one dont like any of the new dual core phones coming out as i am a Hardware keypad guy alot and like the feature of having both of best world. Is it best to fix it? they'll just replace the board and send it back....

My SGS died in December of the dreaded internal SD card failure. Samsung replaced my phone. Today I brought the phone back to the service center (Luckily I live 10 minutes from there) because the battery wouldn't charge.
I went in and the first thing the receptionist did was say, "Hey, it looks like there is water marks there." I said, "Impossible". She went into the back and had someone look at the phone. She came back and said that there is a bent pin (one of the three battery pins) and it wasn't covered under the warranty.
I said if there is a bent pin it was there when they gave me the new phone back on December 22 (I'm kinda anal with my phone).
She got the manager from the back and we spend the next 10 minutes arguing who's fault it was. As I was about to walk out, he said they do not usually cover this under the warranty, but they will this time only.
When I get the phone back I think I will sell it and get another one.
Ian
Why did they change it from the normal i9000? And how did they smeg up internal SD so bad!
Also bent pins are out of warranty.

I don't know you've obviously charged the phone many times since December so the pin wasn't bent when you got it...

Think he is talking about battery connector pins rather then USB port.
And battery will still charge with slightly bent pins as long as they are not removed from the board.
Only time they can get damaged is slamming battery in at funny angles.

It's the three battery pins inside the case, where the battery connects. I am very careful wioth my phone. I was getting erratic charging for the last month or so, but it wasn't that bad, so I left it.
On Friday noght I plugged it in and it took 6 hours to charge, I heard the ding at 5:15am. I unplugged the phone and it went down to 38% in the next 5 minutes. After that it wouldn't charge at all.
As for the pins being bent, how is it possible to do this. The battery only goes in one way, how do you bend a pin?
Anyway, they called me 2 hours later and I just got back from picking up the phone. In and out in less than 3 hoursall together.

They replaced the M/B but it still does not charge. I had it plugged in all night with the phone turned off and this morning the green battery was all lit up so I thought yeah, it works. I turned on the phone and the battery is at 7%. Obviously, it had nothing to do with the bent pin, it's a faulty battery.
With a new M/B comes a new ROM, so it's not the ROM that is causing the problem, but I did a factory reset anyway, no help.
By the way, when I got my new phone in Dec after bringing it in for a dead internal SD card, the date on the back was 10.12, now it's 10.08. How can I get an older M/B? Can it be from a returned phone? I know the phone was not replaced because I have a screen protector (the type that goes on with soap and water) that was still in place when I got the phone back.
Anyay, back to Samsung today.
I went in and they gave me a new battery, so far it's working great. Now I just have to unlock it again.

I am having problems with my Nexus 4.
History, replaced screen after phone was knocked out of my hand, probably damaged battery while trying to remove it, but everything worked once it was back together.
Screen broke again, and while working on that, I noticed the battery had swollen so ordered a replacement of eBay.
All back together now, but.
1 Phone does not state "charging" when connected to AC or USB charging, although the battery icon has the lightning bolt in it and the %charge does not drop while messing with the phone.
2 Phone does charge using wireless, but slowly, and status swaps back and forth between charging and not charging and the % will move from e.g. 40% to 35% as it says charging or not charging.
3 USB works for connection to PC.
I charged the new battery overnight, wirelessly. It got to about 90%, so slow charging, but seems to work. Phone is usable, everything seems to work. I connected it to PC and was able to use Nexus Root Toolkit to backup, the reset the phone, no change in charging behavior.
Booting into safe mode made no difference either. So it seems it is not software/firmware/apps that are causing the problem?
I guess next step is to open it up again and remove and remake all connections and check contact posts? Should I order a third battery? Or a new motherboard?
I searched here, but could not find anyone with the same problem.
Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance, guys.
Opening and rechecking connections and coating with contact cleaner has made no difference.
Phone typically needs Volume Down and Power button pressed to get it to start, then Power Button to select start option, then seems to run okay.
Battery still not reaching 100% charged, generally 70-80% after a full night off, using wireless (my Nexus 5 charges happily on same charger).
Ordered a cheap battery from China, not really expecting that to be the problem, but no other clues or suggestions for now.
Any update?
My battery is ****e now, lasts 3-4 hours and I need to turn off the phone and charge. It takes 4+ hours to charge when switched on. Charging via the PC you can forget it, it drains the battery if anything!
I'm thinking of buying the battery on eBay and doing my research on how to fix myself.
Phone not switching on and Battery issues
Hi,
I have been facing quick drainage of my Nexus 4 battery since past few months. Recently I had been keeping it on charge almost the whole day, and a full charge would last only 2-3 hours! Further, the charging was taking a lot of time too.
Today, my phone had already switched off due to low battery when I put it on charger. After the white charging icon appeared for a few seconds, the phone wasn't charging at all. I have tried 4 different chargers, but to no avail.
Can someone help me? Is there a guide on how to change the battery?
Any help and urgent help appreciated!
Zany!

It's possible some hardware was damaged when you took apart and put back together your phone. The USB board is a possibility, as is the back cover itself. These parts are pretty inexpensive, if you want to try buying a replacement, but that's just a shot in the dark.

Buy a new battery. Li-ion batteries are only good for a few hundred cycles or so (~500 cycles is the expected lifetime), and the N4 isn't exactly the best in battery life, so you can reach the point where your battery turns to crap within a year or so (or less).
Go to ifixit.com and look at the teardown. All you need to replace the battery is a T5 TORX driver (for the screws at the bottom), something thin and plastic (like a guitar pick or a plastic knife - they do make professional tools for this) to pry the back cover off, a tiny phillips screwdriver (like for eyeglasses) for the battery screws, and something to pry the old battery off of the adhesive holding it in. Double sided cellophane tape works fine for keeping the new battery in. When prying the cover off, go slowly. A little at a time, don't rush or force things. Or you might flex too much and crack the back glass. Don't forget to take out the SIM tray first.

Time for a new battery. See above.
My battery have started to swollen up a bit but not alot (around 1mm or less, but it is noticeable when not in a case, it can wiggle a bit from side to side but not alot at all).
I have already ordered a new battery if it is expanding more, but yet battery life is pretty good in standby but not getting more then 3hours of SOT. but since im mostly using the N4 for email's and texting its not a problem for me to get through a full day.
I'm having the exact same issue but I've never taken the phone apart. In the 20 minutes its been off charger it's dropped 11% screen off in my pocket. It also gets hot and shuts off.

That could be software/ROM related. It sounds like somethings keeping your phone going full blast instead of letting it idle.
Yup, trying going back to full stock (should always be first step if possible), and then you can go from there. If it doesn't happen, than it was a software issue, and if it still does than it is definitely a hardware issue. Best of luck.

With a swollen battery I strongly recommend you stop actively using the device. Swollen batteries can explode and that would not be good at all. I advise you to please not use the device anymore.

Third battery (original, suspect replacement, now China sourced replacement) has been working well, phone back together and preforming as new for the last few months
So after attempting to replace my Nexus 4's battery, some weird things have been going on with the battery level. It will get suck at a certain percentage, be it 54% 70% or 100% and jump back and forth between them on the battery meter like a sawtooth wave. I have tried putting the old battery back in with the same results. To add some more problems, the phone will occasionally randomly shut down, not crash but just do a full shut down.
I've tried flashing back to stock and doing full wipes, yet nothing is seeming to help. Perhaps one of the pins to the battery is blocked by something? I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue.
After installing did you fully charged and then wipe battery stats?

Supposedly OEM from Amazon.
I think I found the problem...and it's not good. One of the solder joins on pin 4 of the battery contact came loose. Even worse trying to fix it made the whole thing wiggle, and now the phone ONLY works if I got a piece of paper wadded under the cover to push down the connector.
Looks like it's ****ed, but I think I got it working for the weekend until a replacement can come. Looks like I'm a Moto G man now.

So the problem is on the new battery, not the phone? If so, that's good. I kinda figured it was the battery.
Hi all,
Bought my 6P used a year ago to the day.
Recently, along with the ever-looming battery shutdown bug (32%), I've been struggling to even get an hour SoT, and can go for a short walk with 50% battery and come back with a dead phone.
Huawei refuse to do anything as I do not have original proof-of-purchase for the phone, so my only options are to do things myself or pay someone else.
What are my options here? Will a battery replacement resolve my issues? Replacement genuine batteries seem expensive, are cheap knockoffs to be trusted?
Here is my findings.
I reset my 6P and fully charged. Let it on without using it, it last at least 20 hours and still 59% power left. Then I took 3 photos and it shutdown right away.
I think it is the software issue. Replace battery won't fix it.
Bought my phone used through Swappa and had no proof of purchase, but was still able to convince Google to send me an RMA phone a few weeks ago. Accubattery said the old one had like 70% battery capacity, while the new one is reporting 103% now and my SOT is probably double. So maybe complain away to Google reps until they decide to just RMA it...
Hi, who did you contact for this? I can't find a link on Google's site.
Thanks
Buy a new battery form ebay for 9.99 and it comes with the tools needed to swap with the exception of a x-acto knife or heat gun, but you can use a hair dryer just make sure not to apply heat on the camera or you will have to replace it as well. Buy the one form seller 8-50855 which offers the battery with a temp sensor. The process takes about 20-30 minutes, but it makes a huge difference to have a new battery. Now I get 5-6 hours SoT with heavy usage with pure nexus and custom kernel(Francos) 103% health as well and no more shutting off at 25%.

also you dont need glue to reassemble the phone, not sure if the battery is held down but if it is, the some double sided m3 tape would do the trick.

Sound, pulled the trigger and ordered off ebay. Now to hope I don't break it taking it apart!
I may end up doing a battery swap also. I;ve had my 6P for 14 months and the battery is only at 65% of it's capacity. This is by far the worst performing battery I have ever had. I'm getting something like 2 hours of SOT. My LG G5, which I've owned longer, has held up MUCH better in the battery department.
I basically move it from charger to charger (car, desk, night stand). I was at an even this weekend and was sure to bring my battery pack to make sure it wouldn't run out of juice during the 8 hours I was there.
I treat my batteries well, and try to never let them discharge below 50% if possible.
I get 2 hours on a VERY good day!
Battery replaced, a little more hassle than it really should be, but let's see how this goes.
As the title says, Phone won't turn on. There are no led lights at all. It does get warm after being plugged in for a little. I had jrkruse's hybrid_bra1 stock safetynet samsungpay...... rom on it. It was rooted. Very minimal processes running. I actually had basically everything stopped and greenify on. Phone was around 40% battery. I plugged it into charger, took my dog outside, showered real fast, washed a few dishes, then came back in to room within 15 minutes to my phone being dead and hot. It's never got this hot before even while rooted and plugged in with this rom on it. I have never had it get that hot. Was just formatted the day before and really bare but, that is what happened.
A couple battery apps I had put the batteries remaining life capacity at around 60%. It held a charge poorly. Even for 60% capacity it felt weak, considering how little I did on it lately. I am thinking the battery may have took a crap but unsure because it warms up when it is plugged in. I plan on getting a battery soon since they are inexpensive and replace it to try it out.
Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with this and can offer any advice.
Thank you in advance.
(I looked for a min or two for similar posts but didn't find much. Will gladly take down if someone can point me the way)
You say your battery was already outworn, It may have died. I think you should try with a new battery, Or take it to a technician who can test the phone's hardware to see if there is anything else broken
i've only had one similar case with an s3, which would turn of at random % of battery. But when plugged turned on. I replaced the battery and it worked fine then

funny story....
The mic in my Nubia Red Magic broke and I sent that back to hong kong for repairs like 20 days ago. Before the Red Magic, I used this galaxy s7 edge my friend gave me. I gave it back when I got the Red Magic and told him to sell it or something. Not much later, decided to buy it back off of him for $200 to give to my mother. She loved it. I had the gs7 edge with me exploring prepaid provider options for my mom when the Red Magic mic broke. So then I decided to borrow the edge from her till my phone got back and few days later I break this one too..
I feel naked without a phone for so long haha

I have the same rom, with charging issues. I don't think its the rom causing it. The s7e are getting old and the batteries are taking a toll with the age. My phone will charge up to 81 at night and stay there. I get better results with wireless charging so i just top my phone off during the day with my wireless charger. There is a code to reset the battery's internal memory, if i find the link on how to do it I will post here for you.

Thanks for reply and alright let me know if you find out. My phone had no problem charging to 100% Its just the 100% on the status bar wasnt 100% of the 3600 capacity from wear. My friend's also does the same thing as yours except his he cant charge more than like 24% haha. He just uses it as a plugged in music player in car.... I am getting battery in the mail tomorrow and will see what I can do.

My friend's also does the same thing as yours except his he cant charge more than like 24% haha. He just uses it as a plugged in music player in car.... I am getting battery in the mail tomorrow and will see what I can do.

I have not done it because it requires draining the battery and I never get around to doing that. Hopefully it will help you out. Good luck!

A little late, sorry. lol.
Thanks for suggestion, however, I may have worded my statement incorrectly. I meant to say that My phone would charge to 100% and the status bar displayed it as 100% but, the health and total capacity of the battery in mah was not the maximum 3600 or so due to simple wear and tare. It isn't apparent within any stock android feature however, battery monitoring apps like accubattery gather statistics after several charging sessions and estimate the current mah capacity. Mine was much lower than the default oem stated value of 3600. So my battery could be charged 100% but the 100% is really only 2400 mah lol. It was obvious either way by noticing that after my time using it and the previous owner's bad charging over night habits, that the battery was gradually needing charged more often lol..
I did read about the calibration method before when I was first looking into the battery issues. It seems it is more often done after a new battery is installed.
I screwed up a new battery install at the last second. I had to stop due the tiniest little round metal piece coming off from a very light swipe of my plastic spudger.
It was a very small wire connector piece. Unbelievably irritating. I didn't even finish because I doubt it would work properly. I beleive it is for the rf cable or something not sure. The red one on the left bottom side of the logicboard/motherboard whatever. There are three of them.
I took it apart and put it together a couple times prior to this and in a hurry it popped off and I couldnt find it. I couldnt find out the exact part name online so I could buy one and solder it back on. I did find a site/ supplier that has a plethora of them though. They are tiny coaxial connectors/pins. I didn't look through them all but there are 6,000 some listed under coaxial connectors (RF). https://www.digikey.com/products/en/connectors-interconnects/coaxial-connectors-rf/437?k=coaxial pin
I haven't gotten around to asking samsung or the digikeys support if they could help me find out which it is. They have different sizes and frequency ratings or speeds and such. The phone is packed away until I manage to figure out which pin to buy or if I pull 80$ or so out of my behind and buy a whole new motherboard logic board haha.
