HTC Velocity Battery Drops 1% after 1 mins - Hardware Hacking General

Dear All i am new on this forum but i love the answers from all people here , today i register my self and ask the issue of my own set , yesterday i bought HTC velocity used set from Local market , i simply checked evrything there with HTC code, and run all test , just the cell was not charged so guy put in on charge and show me the charging that its charging and i pay him took the cell .. but when i came home , i charged it all night and it completed finally after 7 8 hours , but i observe the battery is going down quickly after some mins and i can see the dropping % while using it . hardly in 2 to 3 hours the whole battery gets till end .
i went back him and told him he said its battery issue and will give me another battery tomorrow . i show this set to one another guy in market he said its short circuit from inside 5% approx thats why no other battery will also work . all batteries will behave same . but the Shop guy from whom i bought said its battery problem i will give u another.
so now i am confused what is Right . let me tell u some points i face. when i close set and open back . the battery goes up like 10% and then again it comes down after some mins . what is this issue? is it Cell hardware issue or battery issue??
Andriod Asssitant App sometimes show Battery portion whole red , instead the battery is charged . and sometimes it shows proper Green Portion with Red.. why it stucks on battery portion only???
other Problem , i Swtich off Auto Sync , Brightness , and all other things which eat battery btu behavior is still same ! No Difference , the Battery % goes down every min or 2 min without any use.
yesterday night the battery Eat 45% wwhole night on Stand by . pelase Suggest what should i do???? is it hardware fault? or battery Fault?
waiting for your reply

Blackstone Battery Problem %%%

Hello guys i havae some problem with my Blackstone i use it from 2.5 years and i never had problem like this so..
Now when i recharging my device always stay on same % for example even for 1 hour its show always 20% or 50% or anything depends when i put it on the charger..
After restart can show 100% full or anything.. so i found out that the indicator absolutly do not work so if i restart it and show me the real % for example 50% the device always will show 50% battery untill the battery is fully discharged..
And right now i dont know how much Batterry i have and when will need to recharge..
I don`t know but i think this is a battery problem? i use this battery from the begining i mean from more than 2.5 years and maybe is time to change it?! but this heppand when i drop my device once on the floor so do thee is posible by droping the device some senzor to be broken or this is not posible i mean its a battery problem and i will need to buy new one?! or give me some idea how to test this and fix it.
Now no matter that the indicator do not work i still can use my device 1-2 days with one charge even if always show 20% this mean that in the battery itself have power for 2 days conversation internet and etc.. but just do not shown right.
Do anyone of you had the same problem ? and how do you fix it?
Also im looking to buy battery from ebay and i found today this :
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-TOUCH-HD-...ultDomain_3&hash=item4aa9446824#ht_3230wt_905
What you think about this battery ? or can someone who already bought battery from ebay point me to get some good one
I read in the Diamond forum that peoples expirience the same problem with the indicator and even after Hard Reset or flashing new ROM the problem is still there.. so if this is right then i dont have reason to Flash again my device if the problem will be still here.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks
I did some tests... so i fully discharge the battery and i saw that even when the battery was on 0% and always the Warning appear i was able to play with the the Device with Wi Fi ON and Games and Music around 45 minutes wow.. this mean that the battery somehow was not calibratet and when its shows 0% in her still have around 30 40 % so after fully discharge the battery till the device Turn OFF by itself then few times turn it ON till there is not enought power even the WinMo to Startup i put it while OFF on the Charger and i was able to recharg to 100% and the light become green this mean the senzor itself work maybe just the battery need calibration again.
Now will see do the indicator work corectly after few more recharges and will write here for peoples who have the same problems in the future

hi dude, i think you should simply buy a new battery, but preferably an official htc battery - rather than the unofficial gold one you have posted a link to on ebay.
if you do decide to buy a new battery then put the new battery into your blackstone and charge while device is turned off.
this should fix your problem

Actually i think its not Battery die problem because i did some test and i see improvment my battery last at least 2-3 days with alot of usage wifi and etc so this is more than normal.. the problem was that the indicator do not work corectly and like i wrote above i discharge fully the battery till the device die and i saw that when my battery was on 0% i still play alot alot my device to swtich off this mean that befor when the indicator shows 0% its remain anorhter 30 40% power this heppand due to 2.5 years usage and i recharge the device when i have time not always when is fully without power and i think that this cause somehow a discalibration of the Li Ion so today when i did the trick i see improvments and now the indicator start to count ever single % so i think when i do this one or two more times the Battery will be calibratet and will show very corect how much Power i still have.
I think this way because if this battery was already died the device will not last 2-3 days with super usage.

Display Battery Issue

Hello,
I can't believe this has not been mentioned already - but I've done a search and I can't see anything regarding this subject.
I'm just curious as to the battery chart in regards the Display. It is always really high. As a test - I charged my phone to 100% and then over night left my phone alone, with the screen off to see what the stats were. When i awoke the battery chart had the display eating up 54% (even though the screen had been off all night).
Is that normal? Can the Battery useage chart be trusted?
I'm running a rooted device - with XE2.
Am I missing something here
My chart has been 100 precise for me. Post a screen shot if you can.
Also make sure you are not running NoLED.
Yep, ill sort a screen shot out.
And what is NoLED?

So you are NOT running it
It is a utility that uses your screen to display notifications, because there is no LED indicator on the phone that flashes for missed calls, voicemails, messages, etc.
NoLED displayes those little dots on the black screen itself.
Theoretically it makes the screen to be always on, and wastes extra power. But again there is a huge market for that great app (developed by an XDA member here).
Ok - here is a screen shot. Anyone else getting results like this even when the screen is off??
I got the same battery issue like you when i was on KE1.

i have the same problem, my sgs2 is so bad whit the battery life, i cant use the phone a normally working day from 07:00 until 17:00.. and allways i see the screen in the battery chart all the time whit more then 50% battery usage.
if this problem still exist, i will sold my device, thats not for a daily use..
Same answer as always .
Your display has been the part of the phone that has used most of the power used .
NOT your display is using 70% of the battery .

but did you read the first post from the theard owner? over the night, the display stay the whole night off, and use more then 50% battery.. thats not normal sorry.. a device which runs between 4 and 6 houers its a device for fun and play, but not more..
when im driving to the work i need 1 hour and 20min.. in this time, the screen is maybe 10min on while im listening music, and in this 1 hour and 20min my battery drain is 22%..
unbelivable...
from 07:00h in the morning until 12:00h 5 hours later, my battery is on 50%. i had htc desire hd before, and this device had a 1300mah battery and it was better than samsung whit 1600mah..
im really dissapointed..
The display = the majority use of the battery fact .
OP thinks display showed using 54% of the battery overnight .
It showed as a percentage of the total power consumed that the display consumed 54% so if the battery dropped 10% of its capacity overnight then 54% of that was from turning the screen on .
I repeat the battery usage shows what has been using the battery as a percentage of the amount used it does not show the battery drain ,Or even amount of battery used in that time frame
||||||||||Drained 50% of battery today display 20% .
Drained 30 of battery yesterday display 70% ..
WHY HOW AND other stuff regarding battery usage on SGS 1 forum .
jje
after the night was the battery down 54%, e.g. have you lost %46 battery over night? Or was battery down to lets say 90% but display accounted 54% of that 10% loss???
Battery 100% to 99% that is 1% used thats clean with no battery stats .
Battery stats usage shows Display 74% .
Or the display has used 74% of the 1% used .
Its a really simple reading of the usage of the battery by the varying components its not a measure of the battery .

thats what alot of people dont understand it seems........
i think we didnt understand us..
i try it again.
we start whit 100% full battery.. you dont touch your phone over the night.. and when you stand up, you look on it and see, the battery(only a example) is on 50%.. from this 50% which battery loose, 50% goes to the display.. so, the real drain from the display is 25%, over night, and you didnt switch it on.. you think that's not too much?

yes its a problem. when i do that same test on another phone, display does not appear in the list. if i charge to full at night, unplug and go to bed. when i wake up 8 hours later, the top of my list says Cell Standby, WiFi, Android OS. Display does not appear.
once i use the phone for a few minutes, display jumps to the top very quickly.

Now when I play a game or use internet, it suddenly shut down (the phone) within 5 minutes even at 91% battery.
And when I started phone I put on charging, it copleted in 15 to 20 minutes...
Again use , again shut down...
Any one can help..
Thanks in advance...
Is it an original battery?
Ya
It's from samsung store...
Mine is also new nd facing same problem...

Is this a problem with some app?
Because phone shuts down before 0 battery...
I had this problem but it was solved after buying a new battery. Your new battery may be defective...? I don't know, try your friend's battery or something first.

Calibrate your battery using battery calibration app.. You can download it from market for free

I've tried it.
So I came to know that battery was 90% before starting internet,
Then shut down after a few minutes...
When I started the phone , it was 40%...
So before battery goes zero,
Phone, shut down...
Ive done it...
Battery 90%
Started internet
Phone shut down within a few minutes
Started the phone
Battery was 40%
That meabs before battery goes zero,
Phone shuts down
:what:
Is your problem solved?
Tell me if you get any soln...
I have the same problem! My battery is 1 year old. I changed few ROMs and Kernels, wiped batterystats... nothing helped!
I'm using internet for 5min. (100%->89% sometimes 70%) and than it shut down immediately.
connect it on charger (90%)
after 5-10min. charging, battery is 100%
without using it lasts for 3-5 hours.
Now I'm waiting for a new battery to come, and after I test it I will give a report.
Go to customer care...
I just have solved my problem...
If you can't find any other way...
so what did they tell you? you got a new battery? is it a problem in hardware or software?
I went to customer care and they are saying that its hardware problem
To nidjo 16
If your problem not get solved after a new battery, go for store,
Because we already have tried kernel and rom options...
My problem now get solved
Hope your problem get solved...
Well they told me that it was some hardware problem...
Though they didn't tell me about the problem exactly,
My phone is working good and that is what I need
I'm having the same problem.
Have anyone tried replacing the battery?
If the battery is even slight bend,
Replace it
Rude customer service by samsung
Samsung service centre in RK Mutt rd, Chennai is very very Hostile to customer.
I was treated worst by the 4 jokers at the counter
everyone acting busy and thats what prompted me to find this wonderful forum..
The battery problem can be solved as follows:
1. Discharge battery by games or any high battery consuming apps
2. Charge the phone overnight [it may take 5-10 full discharge cycles for battery to understand and give a good backup!!
3. delete Battery stats using CWM
Try an alternate kernel..
Some modifications I got with my customer care (which is very good! )
For 1
Charge after battery goes below 20 at least once a month...
For 2
Don't charge over night, when the battery is new...
At least for the first time
More stuff
Do not use much during charging...
At least internet or wifi
And don't charge for too much time...
(i mean when battery level is still high for use)
Cheers....
Had same problem
used a new Rom and new Kernel and tried so much.
Battery Calibration dont helped.
then i changed battery and yeah that helped since the new battery all is working well
But yeah if it helps I must say that i charged my phone most time via usb and used it for internet via usb teethering, now i only charge it over night and the battery stays much longer
When only use it for music and use internet only shot or use wlan then it stays for 3 or more Days and i think that is very good for an android phone !

[Q] S4 drain battery problem

Dear colleagues , I know that the problem is already common battery of S4 .
Got aa S4 ( model i9502 ) recently , I know that there are sites that say that Samsung has admitted the problem , but the samsung store in my town did not solve the problem . Before you go back and / or take other measures , would embassar me a little more .
In short , the phone has downloaded very fast until I installed the app drain battery analyzer to try to understand what has occurred .
Another thing I noticed , the cell was 69 % battery only open adobe reader, then hung up and put a sd card and turn on back, after showing only 52 % .
Another detail , I turn off the S4 and did not take more than 2minutes to make this whole process , and when I turn on again, the % of the battery has fallen enough, the date/clock unconfigure of 2014 to 2013 and clock has changed too. Typically phones even if turned off and removing the battery with litlle time between turn on and turn off keeping date and time , for example in s4 of my girlfriend, I do this, turn off put off the battery for about 3 minutes and put it again, and the clock it was configured normally, this usually helps get a diagnosis ?
And like I said , it drains very fast , and turns itself off before the battery goes to 0% sometimes , for example , sometimes have shows that 50 % of battery and turn off anyway.
Detail , the battery temperature is normal, the app shows usually 22 ยบ C.
Another problem I noticed , had a day that was showing 47 % battery indefinitely , direct, and with the app adobe opened, strange was showing 47 % - have stayed that way for so long without even changing the percentage , rebooted and then called again , and was 22 % , ie , apparently the battery meter stop tocount the % and not show the real situation , the OS of my phone will be some bug or the problem are battery itself ?
Will this be a problem in android , or battery ?
Already setting the cell for maximum economy with power saving mode on , with a minimum brightness with function close applications when you leave, and nothing worked .
( if only buy another battery , somehow the lesser of evils , indeed , less worse than being a problem on the device itself ) but currently have no way to buy the battery and take to arrive , and would also be frustrating to buy another battery and problem still occurs , then I would know a way to check what is really the problem , to make arrangements from there .
After that , I also did a reset erasing everything that was in the cell for it to stay as factory . And not solved .
Anyone have any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance .

Phone's laggy, bad battery life, toasty (only when outside)

I have A G935FD and when I first bought it. it was a bit laggy but much less than now. The battery lasted like 6h sot (8 months ago, fast charged it only once and it mostly started happening after that, also kept it next to a fan while doing that it's next to a fan while charging all the time since I already have one on my desk anyway).
When I'm outside even when I'm not doing anything special (Just talking to a friend on discord, Checking Instagram, reading an article on Google chrome) it gets very very very hot! it happens more in my grand mother's house for some reason. even though it still has full antenna there!
The battery life now is like 3.5H 3H 4H!
I'm currently downloading the Indonesia Firmware! maybe re flashing it with ODIN will help. mine was actually another but I guess since it was released later it's a bit better?!
can anyone help me?! any suggestions c:
Display drained 16%
Android System drained 12%
Idle is 9%
cell standby is 7%
android os is 7%
chrome 5%
Googleplay services 3%
instagram 3%
AnyConnect 3%
Disocr and wifi 1%
and that's most of them

Maybe I should try a custom rom? I rather use stock android but whatever you suggest! I rather only do it if necessary since it still has warranty and stuff!
First go into recovery mode , do a wipe cache and factory reset , if that doesnt solve the issue , flash the original stock firmware through odin , i would not recommend flashing a custom rom as your phone is under warranty. If after flashing , problems still persist , then for the lagness and heating i can't say , it may be a hardware problem , but for the battery you can do a calibration , turn off fast charging , and never use it , first your battery should be at 3% or 4% , enter this code in dailer *#0228# , when you enter this you will see a info page but dont touch or tap anything especially that quickstart option ... dont try to touch that. just press back button and exit the menu, now drain your battery till phone doesnt turn on , then go in download mode , and let the phone be in download mode till it is dead again , now the battery is completely drained , now put the phone on charge and dont touch it until it is 100% and green light shows, it should improve battery , but if that doesnt improve anything and lagness/heat is still there , then you should go to samsung service centre and claim warranty if anything is faulty, btw my current SOT time is 6 to 7 hours , i dont experience heatness issue in normal use , and there is not that much of lagness that would annoy me. Good luck to you.

Draining my battery to 0 sounds scary since i know li-ion batteries but I guess I'll give it a try. I don't think the warranty will be useful but I'll try anyway c: Thanks a lot! <3
I'll update this further in case anyone's wondering but I flashed the newest firmware with odin and didn't use the Home_csc. But I want to say already everything feels smoother. But battery will take a bit to judge. It's still at 80% but I removed it from my fake wireless charger and moved it to wired (not fast though) to speed up things and let it cool down slightly (I should add a manual fan to it ) and i'll update here c:
Thanks for yourhelp!
Always do a factory reset and wipe cache after flashing a new firmware , also dont use fake chargers as they may also cause these heating ptoblems , well i also suffer heating issue when using tethering while charging , have you tried using any temp monitoring software to know how hot it gets ?

Wow bro your phone is even cool than mine :laugh:
Anyways do a battery calibration as i posted earlier , doing this one time in a month won't harm your battery lifespan
Without calibration it actually got 5-5:30 battery life to absolute 0%. recalibration actually made it a bit worse but I guess I'm ok with that! it's not as bad as 3-4h now and I can use it without having to recharge it in middle of the day.
and also life advice:
if you disable fast charging it gets MUUUCH cooler my case (fake samsung charger that supports it, wireless ofc) and put a small 80mm pc fan next to it and I bet you it won't go higher than 27 degrees on any condition
disable fast charging
