The battery always is a big problem

one min my evo is on and battery might say it's at 49% charged. then out of no where, my phone will cut off and when i turn it back on, sometimes its completely dead. sometimes, it's showing 2-4% battery life left.
WTF is going on?
Is it a stock battery from sprint/htc or one you got from eBay or any other seller?

it's the stock battery 'the red one', shipped with the phone. it use to work fine up until a few days ago, when i noticed what was happening.

Ive been purchasing 2000mha batteries from eBay and they have been working great for some time now.
I believe that sometimes the length of your battery life experience will depend on the way you charge it through out your day and the amount of charging cycles you've used during the life time of that battery.
Sure I do agree that certain things can be done to improve battery life, but sometimes... It's just time to discarded it and get a new one, imo anyways.

I figured that, but I didn't wanna get a new battery if it was a bad ROM flash or something.. but I'll use my extended battery when I get home and see how it plays out. I just that damn bulky Ness to that battery.
Change roms and wipe battery stats in recovery. If its still acting funky then it must be your battery. I think sprint replaces them for free if you tell them that your battery is disfunctional

I had same problem when I bought my 3500mah sedio battery. So I exchanged it. Most likely there is a problem with your battery.

Yeah, just did that. Think it was over used. Regular charge, trickle charge, over charged. It's toast.
Been running the new battery over a day now. No restarts at all. Guess it was the battery.
Hi ! So, i will receive my N4 in few days, and i would like to know what i should do to improve my battery life at first. Is there any way to charge and discharge the battery ? I read something like that on the forum but it seems very long.. Thanks for your answer

Calibrate the battery by running it down to 0% and charge it fully.
You can also root the phone and flash a custom kernel that offers great battery life.
Other things you can do...
Turn off sync, turn off GPS, turn off Google now, and lower brightness level to a minimum.

Yeah i was more talking about calibration. Is Just one discharge cycle enough ?
Sent from my Blade S using xda app-developers app
There's no such thing as battery calibration. Just use your phone normally, charging it when you want to.

Don't calibrate now.. your phone will already have the best calibrated battery settings.
Calibrate when you flash a custom Rom and that too,if you face battery problems. Otherwise no need. You'll do more damage otherwise. No need to calibrate if you flash a kernel over stock either.

You dont calibrate li ion battery.

And you should never purposely run it down to 0%.

It is a bit of a misnomer as the phone is calibrating the battery scale to match the discharge of the battery. It isn't that there is no such thing, it just isn't what people think.
Get the latest Franco kernel on it. That is all.

This. So much this.
One of the strangest charging profile I've seen.
That is weird. Miscalibrated battery, maybe? Try a full discharge, then recharge.

I'd never recommend a full discharge for an li-ion battery

It's not recommended to do often, but discharging has been known to solve issues with improper calibration.
Besides, you can't tell me you've never used your shiny Nexus 4 to 0% before ;P

Did you restart your phone while it was charging? I've seen strange dips and spikes in the battery graph on my Nexus S when rebooting while its charging. I haven't seen anything like your graph on my N4 yet but I don't check the graph much plus I've only had the phone about a week and a half.
My nexus 7 was fully charged and I put it in the rack in the night. Next morning it shut down completely. When I switched it on, it showed battery 0% says 0% the same c thing happened today as well. Its a new device. Any idea??

Some app or service is draining your battery. Get BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down.

Like someone said before it's a rogue app and the only way your going to get the battery drain issue to go away is to figure out which app is doing it and then get rid of it.

I think the best solution for you is to factory reset or re-install android on your device once.
It will be easier than finding out where is the problem. as screen snap shows most of the battery is drained by "android OS".
It was just my opinion you can take it if you want.
My battery usage. Even though my screen on time was only about 2 hrs most of the battery was drained by the screen. So there music be something very wrong in your case.
I don't know about android virus but that might be an option.

Gonna follow along and disable my daydream as well since I'm having the same problem you are with it actually draining while on the charger (Stock ROM, Franco Kernel, OEM wall wart with gold tipped USB cable). Tis quite annoying to have to either keep the screen off or power down completely in order for this bad boy to charge...
i hope some of you have experienced this. i'm on carbon rom right now. sometimes when i'm in the middle of an app, it's just turn off and when i plug it in and turn it on the battery is at 0%. i've done a factory reset.
I have never had that happen before. Does your battery meter move? Like does it say sit at 50% for ages then all of a sudden your phone turns off.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
no, but it does happen around 50% from my experience.

Try out another ROM to see whether the battery drain still happens. If no, then it's the ROM's kernel.
Yeah I would try another rom or hell even stock. Maybe your battery is defective if a new rom doesn't help

How do you charge your phone? Using the stock wall charger?
