Bettery isue on AT&T Tilt

Helo,
I have AT&T Tilt. It started to report strange problem. It displays a message "To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your battery according to the owner's manul" and doesn not see the battery (or its level).
After that phone won't charge until a restart (when for a few moments it recognises battery level).
Did anyone had similar problem, or can help me.
Many thanks.

Could be a problem with the battery. Pretty sure there is a chip in it to report its level

I thought it was cookies "forgive the pun OP avatatar"
OP: clean your contacts between bettery, a new battery may solve the problem.

[Q] Battery calibration/scaling?

Hi folks, ive been using my new s4 for about a week now and have noticed a pattern with the battery draining. when i unplug my phone it instantly falls to 82%, i can plug it back in and it will charge to 100% but when i unplug again it goes back to 82%, the phone seems to drain normally, usually down to 70% after my morning break then 50% after lunch, it then drops quickly to 30% then turns off at 20%.
I've tried a few different things to check that nothing is eating my battery, tried resetting to make sure nothing was running in the background.
it seems like my battery is healthy(getting a full day from it) it just seem like its scale is set wrong, i.e. 82=100 and 20=0.
is there an app that can reset this scale? ive looked into calibraters but the concencus seems ot be that they wont do anything real?
Thanks for any help.

So for quite a few releases, sprint users have been having APN issues. I thought the latest release fixed it but after everything working fine last night, now I can't send MMS again. The last build that didn't have this issue is 12/22... What changed and what can I do to fix it??? Any help would be appreciated.

perhaps make another thread with your problem as the title?

Thought I was in the main q&a. Thank.

I think modifying the battery stats file requires root and maybe a custom recovery. I know there is an option to delete battery stats in recovery. Deleting it will cause android to create a new one and maybe fix a problem where it reports an incorrect battery %
It may also be that you have a faulty battery. See this article

If you are rooted then calibrate your battery after charging it to 100%
If you are not rooted then flash the factory images(this process will erase internal storage so backup first)

did u face the same issue on u r stock mate?

No i didnt face such issue.
And am not stock CM now. Am using unofficial CM11 by @dumtara

Completely discharge your battery
With the phone switched off use a good charger and charge your phone to 100 %
Use samsung or htc charger

I am also facing the same problem. Please somebody reply

i had the same issue . my battery % would remain normal on restart but when i removed battery , it would drain tremendously .
i fully used up my bettery % to 0 and used Samsung S4 ' s charger ( 2A i guess , genuine ) and after taking around 2-3 minutes to boot up , it charged faster and the issue was resolved for me . worth trying

My solution...

I was facing the same problem but some how I manager the solution myself. If after reinserting the battery charge decreases drastically then again remove it and wait for 3 to 4 mins. then insert the battery. Then connect the battery charger but don't switch on the device. If charge level returns to its previous level the its well & good otherwise repeat the previous steps 1 or 2 times, definitely after that previous levels will be back. It was working in my case hope it will work with your case also.

Note 4 battery problem after flashing some custom roms

Hi everyone, i have problem with my note 4, battery drops from 11 % to 3% very fast and charges after 85% very slow.. this problems started 2 days ago when i flashed dn5 custom rom i thought it was rom problem and flashed sixperience rom but still i have same issue also i tried battery calibration but again.... what can i do???? and my screen on time is only 3 hour. please help me, thanks.

Have you checked what's eating away at your battery? Settings => Battery (Here you should be able to see if anything is causing a drain).
If the settings screen doesn't seem to show anything, you could try BetterBatteryStats (This app will be able to tell you everything that's going on regarding running processes, wakelocks,... You should give it a day or so from a fully charged battery.)
And if even BBS doesn't show anything, I'd flash the stock firmware again (And check if it isn't the battery).

Well, in all fairness, mine is running CM 12.1, and SOT is a bit under 4hrs. Which isn't fantastic either. Quickcharge does slow down a bit after a certain percentage. You could try a new battery, but might be a waste of money.
I'm afraid I can't help you any further, maybe someone else can.

did u change ur battey? im going to buy anker battery as i know they have good ones

I am facing exactly the same problem .. I don't think buying a new battery will solve this problem.
My mobile is charging by AC very very slow and sometimes it stuck at certain percentage for hours and I tried many things but I am still facing this problem... While recharging if I removed the battery and put it again, the phone shows me that it is 100% while it was not 100% at all.
I wish someone can help us about this problem or if any of u guys tried a new battery and the problem has been solved, so please feed us back in here

Any updates!?

well after 3 4 days (i mean after flashing sixperience rom) everything is ok. discharge to 0% then wait and full charge + calibrate battery may fix issue. but still dont like screen on time. only up to 3.5 4 hours

That sounds weard...
I mean the good thing is we could change the battery.

I have a feeling this is not battery issue. it's exynos + apps running on the background. Try to root + disable unnecessary apps (maybe Android 4.4 Would give you higher SOT). I had Note 3 previously and SOT was at the level of around 6 hrs (snap processor) - now on exynos it's around 4 hrs on stock firmware (5.1.1).

Sudden battery drop, 70%-->0%, on newly replaced battery

I have replaced my battery with what should be an original battery for the Huawei P8 GRA-L09, battery nr: HB3447A9EBW.
After having assembled the phone again I experience some weird issues with the battery level dropping from 50%, 60%, 70% or even 100% in an instant. I have tried calibrating the battery by letting it die completely, recharge to 100%, let it drain completely again and recharge to 100%. I have tried different battery calibration apps and a factory reset - nothing helps.
I contacted the company I bought the battery from and got a replacement - still same issue.
Unfortunately i damaged the original battery when taking it out, so i cant use that as a reference.
All stats seems to be similar on the new batteries as on the old one, but for some reason the width of the new battery is a few millimeters smaller than the old one, meaning that it does not fill out the space completely. Has anyone else experienced the same?
Any suggestions on what my problem might be will be most appreciated!

Yeah, my replacement battery was also smaller than the original one. Also, I was getting sudden drops from 9 percent to 0 in a minute. After disabling Huawei Perfhub (Root access required), the drops were gone.

Thank you for your reply.
Do you have any idea what is happening, why disabling the Perfhub works/are necessary?
Want I loose other functionalities when disabling the Perfhub?

I guess, they are trying to do some kind of trottling by showing unreal percentages. Something like what Apple did with the iPhone 6.

Yeah that might be, but if that is the case that trottling has gone terribly wrong on my phone.
Can you give me a hint on how you disabled the Performance Hub?

Rename /system/bin/perfhub file to something else and test. If it works (Doesn't work always), you will see a slightly different battery stats page.

How can I locate the perfhub file, It looks like there is no such directory in my mobile's memory?
