I'm running a Sprint Mogul using no2chem's nueROM 2.2 Preview 7 (8's touchscreen issues made me downgrade), and having some very peculiar battery problems I'm hoping someone has advice about.
A few weeks ago I woke up, pulled my phone from the charger, and watched the battery instantly drop from 100% to around 83%. Over the next 15 minutes it dropped to the mid-70s before leveling out and discharging at a more normal rate. This occurred the next day and so on. Now this was with Seidio's 3200mAh extended battery. I then switched to my (sigh) OEM battery and didn't have the same problem, so assumed it was Seidio's battery, filled out an RMA, and sent it off to be repaired.
Now a couple of days ago the OEM battery started doing the same thing. I'd pull it off the charge and it would have somewhere in the range of 60% battery remaining. I'd have to plug it into my car charger or USB cable on my notebook to charge it up the rest of the way (albeit very slowly).
This morning I decided to watch the process from before I even unplugged it. First I noticed the orange light was on after a full night's charge. If memory serves me, the light's supposed to go out when it's at 100% (I may be mistaken). Meanwhile the battery meter was at 60%. I unplugged it and it remained there. I plugged it back in and watched no2chem's charge meter show the power connection, and I went ahead and left it plugged in for a little while before checking it again. It was now at 63%.
So what I'm finding is that at some point during the night my phone stops accepting a charge, despite the charge light remaining on.
I'm going to experiment with two things to further troubleshoot: tonight I'm swapping chargers with my wife's. I'm pretty sure the phone controls whether or not it's continuing to charge the battery, but I'm going to rule this out the only way I can. Then if that doesn't improve it I'm going to flash back to a Sprint official ROM (sigh) and see if maybe no2chem's power applet or power management settings are somehow causing this oddity.
Does anyone have any extra experiences with problems like this that might give me an idea of what else to try? Otherwise my thinking is if those two steps yield no improvements, then it's the phone's physical battery management hardware that's faulty and I'm going to have to use my insurance to replace the phone. I'd like to exhaust all the other resources before I spend the $50 on the deductible, though.
Thanks!
sometimes mine overheats while charging, at that point the LED flashes orange until it cools down enough to resume charging, this might be happening to your in the middle of the night
I thought I heard purple meant overheating. Either way, it's not clearly describing it. Also this has never happened before, so if it's happening every single night now, I've definitely got a problem.
Anyway, just plugged it in with my wife's charger. Let's see how it turns out in the morning.
You said :

Sure sounds like a bad charger.

Now confirmed. Just pulled it off my wife's charger after a full night, at 100%. Five minutes later, 99%. Much better. I wonder what would cause the charger to stop charging halfway through the night, but keep the charge light on. Well, at least the mystery's been solved.
I am sort of having the same issue. A couple of weeks ago I decided to upgrade from the standard Verizon ROM for my xv6800 to DCD's 3.2.2 ROM. The upgrade went perfectly. I always plug in my phone every night before I go to bed. The light turns orange while it is charging and then it is green when I wake up. The phone always showed 100%. Now with the updated ROM, I do the same, plug in before I go to bed, the light turns orange, and it is green when I wake up. But, when I look at the battery level when I unplug it, it is usually at about 94%. The battery level also seems to go down quicker than before, but I figured that had to do with the GPS radio and WM6.1. Why do you think the battery would no longer show 100% when I unplug it? Seems very weird that right after I upgrade the ROM my battery would start failing.

DCD roms included new code to show 1% changes. The original code showed 10% changes only. Originally, you likely saw 100%, 90%, 80% etc. Now you see 95%, 94%, 93%, etc. It seldom goes to a perfect 100% and it LOOKS like it is discharging faster. In reality it is simply showing more detail.

Yes, I noticed the 1% increments, I figured it was Windows Mobile 6.1 compared to 6.0. I think the old method was reporting in 5% blocks.
So, your battery never shows 100%? Very weird. So, my battery is probably fine and it is probably behaving just like it always has?
Thanks for the information.
Okay so i've updated to Cyanogen 5.0 beta 2 no problems installed 2.6.32 then went back down to 2.6.29.6 and extra ram works and everything but now my phone wont charge the battery.
I'm quite sad as this is the problem, someone mentioned to let the charge die and then try charging it then. So i did that and now its stuck at 0 and when i remove the charger it instantly dies. Only one other member had the same problem but he hasn't replied to my pm or the thread yet so i'll wait for him as he had this abit earlier.
I've done multiple wipes, reinistalls, nandbackups and now i'm too afraid to do anymore flashing as the phone's battery is on 0%. If at any point it requires phone battery to flash it will die and i'll have a brick.
Hopefully someone out there might have a solution
I dont think its a ROM problem since you wiped. Perhaps its a hardware problem?
i dont know. Does anyone know if its safe to flash? As in if the charger is in it should be okay right?
Okay i think i'm screwed for awhile. The battery is drop dead and now i cant enter bootloader mode. Theres a orange led at top indicating its still working but wont enter bootloader due to insufficient power. Damn i was going to try to flash it
Now i need someone with either a nexus one or another battery
FML
Have you tried another charger or the USB cable?
Same problem here
I'm experiencing the same problem myself.
Installed Cyanogenmod 5.0b2, everything worked fine for the day.
tried JIT, had reboots, reverted back to fast
Upgraded to .32 kernel, my sdcard wasn't compatible so re flashed 5.0b2
called it an evening, my battery was full but I plug it into the charger overnight since it's my alarm clock.
Yesterday morning on the way to work, was playing music and noticed my battery had jumped from full down to around 12% in 30minutes. plugged it into car charger, and while it didn't drop anymore it didn't charge either.
Left it in pc usb charger off and on all day where the off times it dropped down to around 9% and never got above it. Eventually let it die on the way home thinking I'll re train the battery.
Left it off and plugged into wall charger for 4 hours, but batter stays at 0%
I'm glad I didn't sell my Dev G1 yet, as at least I have a working phone for the moment.
FYI I ran into this same problem running superboot himem on ERE27. My battery died and then nothing would charge it, even sitting it on AC power for 8 hours (while I slept) when I woke up my battery was stuck at 0% and would auto shutdown if I unplugged it.
I nandroid restored to stock ERE27 and immediately my battery started again. I think there might be some weird problem with himem mods. Not sure. Just to be safe I am totally over flashing custom stuff on my phone. My phone is too important to me to risk stuff like this happening.
Hello everyone!
this time i've weird problem with my new gene HTC P3400i having windows 6 professional.... As my daily routine i put my phone on charging at night around 2AM and unplug the charger when i wake up around 7AM till then phone gets fully charged from 5% to 100% but one day when i woke up and unplug the charger it was only 22% i thought may be charger was unplugged so i put my phn again on charging and gone to do my work, after around 3hours when i saw the phn it was on again 22% but phn was showing charging i was curious like wat happened to phn, then switched off my cell and plugged in for charging but again after one hour when i switched it on it was on 22% :| i unplugged it and went out and saw that battery was draining very fast... 22% then 20% and so
on and withint 15min it was on 2%, i was out for around 5-6hours and my
phone was still alive with 1% charge remaining then atlast it died.. i tried to switch it on 5-6 times but it start goes to boot screen then windows logo and red service light and turns off....
end of phase 1
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
i reached home plugged phone for charging and after around 15min turned it on... now the problem begins.... when i turned it on it goes till windows logo with red light and switch off on its own... i again tried switching it on with charger still plugged but it doesnt respond i tried 10-15 times but of no use... i left it there for a while and again swithced it on again the whole process started till windows logo and red light and switch off... then again no response.... i thought may be battery died(well i dont think coz suddenly battery cant die on
its own when it was giving stamina for 1day for a 2year Old GENE).. so i went to buy new battery and switched it on and it worked like as usual but i noticed that battery was draining very fast in front of my eyes.. i plugged in for charging and it was charging fine when it was 100% i unplugged the charger and suddenly i saw that charging meter went to 89% :| :| i tried plugging it again and again unplugging but this time 77% :| i thought may be there is a problem with battery itself so replaced my batery with new one and again plugged it in phone and switched on this time i thought it is fine and plugged it in for charging but again the same problem when i unplugged charging meter went to 90% and subsequently battery drainage... :|
and yeah one more thing i noticed is when i plugged charger without battery the service light shows red light blinking very very fast however with normal phone it should be like call, end buttton and amber light shows up for one time and gone....
Can anybody help me out with this ... please help me this time :| :|
charging problem
hi buddy
this problem because of your charger either u r using a duplicate charger or another charger having different frequency..
all u have to do first bring the charge of your battery to zero and then use a original charger its temporary problem i have also met this thing 3 or 4 times ... don't panic it will be resolved...
enjoyyyy
So this problem first started when I first flashed boeffia's kernel on top of the official cyanogenmod. The only thing i changed was the kcal settings (I like a little over-saturation). But, since then, my oneplus two charges very slowly no matter what i do. I even set the charging current to 1250 in the app, but still, it was taking almost 5-6 hours to charge fully; and even then, it would not go to 100%, but stay at 92-94 and stop charging altogether. Tried draining the battery, deleting the batterystats file, nothing.
Frustrated, I switched to Resurrection Remix today, a rom that ran perfectly in the past. Plugged the phone into the wall, apps updating over LTE. after a few minutes, I saw the percentage dropping from 36 to 33 and just staying there.
Currently the phone is off, and the battery has only gone up to 12% from 10% in the last 30 minutes.
Anyone ever face this problem? Any help at all would be much appreciated.
P.S. I only flashed the rom and Gapps(mini). nothing extra.
edit- It's been two hours now and the battery's at 18%
edit 2- Battery at 20% after 3 hours. I've turned on the "show battery percentage on lockscreen" in RR. Now I don't know how accurate that is, but it's showing "charging at 1500 mAh/hour max". Now I'm literally pulling my hair at this.
I faced a similar problem after flashing dirty unicorns
Well i solved it by clean flash oxygen os 3.0.2 and changing the charging adapter it solved my problem and i flashed other roms like bean stalk.rr i dint have charging issue anymore

Trying to flash OOS 3.1.0 now... Also, I noticed, after leaving the phone plugged in, the percentage at the charging screen said 43%, but after turning it on, it was just 27%. So it's just a software side problem. Just maybe. It ain't easy getting reliable usb-c cables where I live.
P.S.- did you fully discharge/charge again after flashing? Also, nowadays we can directly flash OOS from CM with the official TWRP, right? (Haven't tried OOS in 6 months)
followup- Flashed OOS 3.1.0. Still not solved. Charging still too slow.
Also, since I have access to engineering mode (#808#), I can see that the phone is charging at an avg of 220mA from the wall.
Is my cable busted?
Currently it's going up 1% an hour(while off)
If the cable is indeed busted, can someone suggest an replacement? Idon't seem to be able to find any in amazon India.

I clean flashed the oos rom. charged it all night when morning it was 100 percent i did a battery calibration which u can find in playstore.i let the battery to drain with normal usage now i changed the charging adapter i think its 2.4amp charger i dont think there is problem with usb cable.its charging at normal speed if screen off will charge fast like 10-100 percent in 2 hrs
Guys stop wasting time flashing go directly to the cable/carger.
Battery calibration is practical useless

Solved. It was the cable. Tried a MI5 cable and "pass" finally showed up in engineering mode.
Have contacted service, will get a replacement later this week
Ok....
I think it's not new that we have a problem here.
Some of the people who got OnePlus 5,
Facing an issue when charging that it charges up to 80%-90% with the Dash Charger.
And then simply stops, and to charge to 100% we use regular charger (Not Dash Charger)

And there are more evidence of the issue.
We need to deliver the massage to OnePlus.
So please tell me, your facing the issue too?

The power input in lowered after the phone has charged to 70%+, which results in slower charging speed.
It's done to preserve the battery and to allow more charging cycles in the long run.
So, it's not a bug. It's a feature.
As @sufoalmighty said, it's not a bug, it's a safety feature to keep the battery healthy.
Ok look.... it just stops and the phone says not charging.. i don't really know why
Hi Guys,
It's a real issue and I'm experiencing it. Plus, there are few threads about this on Oneplus forum and Reddit:
here: https://forums.oneplus.net/search/13523112/?q=dash+charging&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=265
and here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/6r0403/oneplus_5_dash_charge_stop_at_83/
I even had an error message on the phone when trying to charge it more than 85% when off... Everytime I briefly pushed on the power button to see if it was charging properly it said :
"Device temperature is too low. Can not charge"
Talked to Oneplus support twice, they escalated my ticket. But I have no news from them for 3 days now... I think the best could be having them akcnowledge there is an issue, even if it's gonna be painful for them for some obvious marketing reasons...
What do you think ?
If your phone actually entirely stops charging, it is a bug, probably a hardware problem with your charger, as a person on the linked Reddit thread said. Try a different DASH Charger first. If it did start after the update, you could always flash back and test it against tests of the new one and send them that information. Saying that it stops DASH charging isn't very clear and contains no information OnePlus can work with. Download Ampere and check it with the cable plugged in after 80% to see what value is showing, or use the *#808# menu to test the same. Post results, including a picture clearly showing the screen and the fact that it is plugged in [take it with another device].
Experiencing the same issue as @the_david. My OP5 is 5 days old, received it with stock firmware (4.5.3 I think, not sure) everything was fine. Updated to 4.5.8, rooted, installed magisk etc... Wanted to charge it after some days, but with the dash charger it stops completely at 75%. Turning of the phone shows battery temp to low (was at 33°C).
A non-dash charger will charge to 100%. Cache & Dalvik reset had no effect.
Edit:
I let the phone discharge to 0% and tried to charge it with the dash charger. I saw the dash charging symbol in the "bootloader" & blue LED, however it stayed stuck at 0%. With another charger I was able to load it to 2%, afterwards used the dash charger to get it up to 80%.
Got a replacement charger and the issue was gone
So, I got a new Dash charger and... It fixed the issue. It seems there are some problem with some dash charger series, especially if you bought your OP5 to a Chinese reseller...
Everything works fine now!
The problem in my case is the rom installed... Tried with RR and dash is ok up to full charge, but on stock oos up to 90% is dash and from there normal charge
No problems here. Dash charge till 80-90 percent and than charging values going slower and slower and slower up to 100 percent. So i guess i'm fine.
What i "do" like to mention is: When device is fully charged at 100 percent, within 10 minutes it drops very fast to 87 percent! than the battery seems to stabilizes itself. With each dropping percentage the battery is more and more going slower at discharging..
I don't know if that's normal behaviour, because i'm not familiar with OP5.. I came from Samsung.
Maybe somebody can explain this? or am i seeing it wrong?
It's strange.. i've a linear discharge.. have you tried a battery fix? Discharge all then charge until 100% from switched off phone.. Don't do this everytime because will damage battery... Or maybe it's just android that after sometime the battery percentage split to 2% at time... 100-98-96 etc..
Did that in the past with replacable batteries, also use battery calibration app (still a myth, but whatever). I never discharged this Device further than 10 percent (like you kinda mentioned it can damage the battery) and since it's hard to replace the battery i wont take the risk. Maybe my battery didnt even get the change to settle because of the many Roms and Kernels i Flashed over and over again, since i got my device for about 10 days now haha. I guess i need to give my battery more time to settle and don't stress it?
I was in your doubt too, since i've flashed a looooot of rom in about 2 days lol and i stressed really too much my phone.. But as i said up, i've noticed that the battery percentage (what we see in the statusbar and not the reality charge) depends a lot on which rom you're using... In this 2 days i've also charged my phone a lot of time, via dash charge or via pc (while copying files from computer to phone) and it seemed damaged in RR but when i reflashed back to freedom it has returned normally and today i have a very long life battery (charged this morning at 9:30 and now i still have 81%)... So in the end i think your battery is not damaged but have you tried a factory reset? PS: i've never discharged it under 20% PPS: and sure, for answering your question, i think that less stress (few charge)= more battery life so now i wait tomorrow to try another rom but today is the "My oneplus 5 rest day" lol
