[Q] Battery level incorrect? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I have got a battery level incorrect issue. As you can see, it is a huge drop from 56% to 31% instantly. But after I have reboot the phone, the battery level restore to 55%.
Do anyone got the same problem? I have try Battery Calibration APP but cannot fix the problem.

Turn off your device remove the battery for 2 mins then put it back. I do this when something gies wrong with my battery.

[Q] crazy battery drain in nexus 4

Hi all,
New to the forum. Sorry if somebody has already posted something similar. Tried to search but could not find any.
The reason I am here:
Yesterday night before going to the bed, my phone battery was >80% charged. In the morning I found my phone switched off. I had to restart the phone using the power button. The battery was at about 40% down when I turned it on.
I dont use the phone much through out the day, so it uses around 20% in a day(morning to night).
There is nothing unusual that I can see in the battery usage stats. Attaching screen shots for reference.
The graph shows a sudden decrease in the battery power. I am not sure if any sofware can consume so much of power in such a short time, unless there is a hardware issue or the battery readings themselves are incorrect.
This is the third time in the last 5 days that I found my phone powered off in the morning with a sudden fall in battery power.
I am using the stock android 4.2.2 with all the updates applied.
Can anybody please help me understand whats going on?
When it drops straight down it signals either a reboot or a power off. Something is causing your phone to turn off (obviously), it isn't just a battery drain issue. That said, it shouldn't drop that much if it is off.

Thanks josh, is there a way to debug whats trigerring the shutdown? What worries me is the sudden power drop? Could this be a harware issue?
There might be some safety mechanism which will shutdown the phone in case it finds the battery current is extremely high. I am just guessing.

The battery % indicator isn't completely accurate so whenever you reboot your device it tends to show as a lower value than before you rebooted it. I find that whenever I reboot my device the instant drop is then offset by a slower than normal drain as shown by the indicator. Obviously the drain is no different but this is just what the indicator is showing.
I wouldn't worry about the drop itself so much, just what has caused the reboot. I can't help you there so maybe someone else has an idea on how to figure that out, good luck!
Try flashing the stock image again; efrant's guide in my signature is the best & most educational way to go about it..
P.S. overheating will shut the phone down. Maybe some rogue app misbehaving? Long shot but could be it. Search for betterbatterystats here in xda, see if some app produces some crazy wakelocks. If not, go back to the top..

You can monitor with betterbatterystats.
And if you are rooted you can check the root features in advanced settings to see any alarm that occur.
This will help you debug the problem.

I wouldnt be worried about the battery drain.. That is usual for your situation as you hardly use your phone, the battery reading isnt always accurate and is most accurate after a reboot.
If your reallt worried. Reflash stock images fromm Google. Don't use toolkits and learn something about fastboot and your phone.

Wrong battery stats?

I am running PA 3.5. Today I woke up with my battery being at 20% maybe 45 minutes later I got a notification of the battery being 14% and about two minutes after that the phone just completely died, it would not turn on. Luckily I immediately plugged my phone and got the blinking red light. I was afraid more than ever, and was turning on my PC to find the solution for this problem. In the mean time my phone went to its normal state and was charging. I turned it on and the battery was charging at 2%.
Should I be worried about this issue or has anyone had it happen to them?
Here is a screen shot of what battery stats looked like after reebot

Battery Jump Issue

Hi Guys, I need your help to understand if anyone of you encountered the problem that I am facing now.
My phone battery is jumping up and down while discharging and charging.
I have even changed the battery but still the same situation.
Any insight will be helpful.

You are using the original charger. Don't use it.

Same issue here
I have the same issue.
Scenario 1:
Phone charging
reboot
battery jumps up by at least 5 - 10 %
Scenario 2:
Phone discharging
reboot
battery jumps down by 5%
Scenario 3:
Phone discharging
no reboots
battery stays at 1% for a very long time at the end of the day.
If there are no reboots involved then I would see sharp drops in the battery graph at the end of the day.
I looked into this issue and found out the battery circuit might be build poorly by LG for nexus 4.
I overcame this drain issue by:
- not looking at the graph often
- Installed custom kernel that allowed me to under clock to save battery.
If you are non-root then i would suggest letting the battery drain to the point where the phone turns off.
Then go to fastboot and let the phone drain more battery by leaving the screen ON. ( going to fastboot: 1) turn off the phone 2) press and hold the power and volume down button).

Battery problems

Hi everybody !
I have a problem with my note 4 since few days, my battery indicator shows 40 or 20% of battery left but it shutdown itself and reboot.
After that, it shows 0% of battery left and have to plug my phone.
I already tried to wipe caches and battery status with a root app but it does nothing :roll eyes:
My phone have 535 cycles of charge, maybe my battery is already dead ?
For info: i am on Kyubi 2.2 rom, but i've noticed the problem on COI3 Stock/unrooted.
Does anyone have a solution for me? Thank you in advance :good:
No solution, but same problem on 5.0.1. Mine dies at 15%

Search first, there are several thread already discussing about this problem.
It's because of your battery has degraded through time.
My problem seems to be resolved for the moment, i don't think my battery is dead yet...
Battery is faulty, please replace.

Hi,

My screen on about 4.5-5hous...
So Should I replace new battery? and how to fix or calibrate battery?
In my opinion the battery is ok

Before I paid for a new battery Id probably factory reset and see if it continues. Id also install accubattery from playstore. Youve got to let the app measure your battery health for 24 hours. Itll tell you how much battery capacity you have left (degradation)
But based on your observations, I'm not sure you need a new battery. Do you always let it run so low?

Battery Health in accubattery now is 96% after some charge times
15% remaining about 5mins using
hello,
I'm Italian.
Same problem for me since a week for my S7.
But I done the last update few monts ago (Android Nougat).
What we have to do?
Try an app called Advanced Repair Battery Life. You can find it on Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mocamocaapps.advancedbatteryliferepair
Once installed, open the app and hit 'repair' and wait until the process is finished. Once finished, reboot your phone and see what happens.
I've used on my father's Sony device and it seems to work.
hello, an update.
without factory reset, without app.
On Monday, the battery is crashed from 14% to 1% in few seconds. Then a notification prompted me to correct the anomalous consumption of an app (it was whatsapp). I correct it and the it is remained turned on for 2 hour and half (without using) at 1%. Then it goes in auto turn off. Then I turned on and I wait that it goes in auto turn off. Then I plugged and I loaded battery to 100%. I think this procedure is called calibration.
The next days battery is not crashed, it has normal consumaption.
Today I will monitor what will happen.
thanks
Hi guys!
I got the same battery issues here.
Noted 2 days ago, it was at 15% remaining, talked 1 minute with my colleague and the S7 was turned off. Tried to turn it on, the battery was 0%, plugged in and recharged for a while.
Yesterday the same, at 15% turned off, then I monitored it and around 5/7% it switches off on its own.
From 15 to 5/7% goes very fast, in 1/2 minutes and not more. In this situation on the right side it becomes very hot.
I experienced a similar situation with my Galaxy Tab S, the screen was flickering and overheating issues with looping reboots. Solved by an unplug/replug of the internal battery.
I'm very worried about my S7E!
Just for note, I use Quick Charge very often and a magnetic support for car use.

Yesterday evening the same on my device. Spotify prompted as anomalous consumption, corrected and the drain stopped for a while.
Opened Tapatalk and here we go again with the fast running out. Hope that will be better right now.
Installed accubattery app, my battery has 72% of health.
