So last night was NYE. I took my phone out with me and the battery was at 100% according to Touch IT ROM.
I took 4 or 5 pictures which were terrible, the camera sucks.
I stayed at a mates and woke up this morning, the battery was down to 20%?!
I haven't even used the phone and after 16hours or so the battery was nearly dead. What the hell, am I doing something wrong.
I always thought the battery sucked but this is a joke

same here ill try to get a new one
Check if you have any applications running in the background. Do you have Wifi turned on, bluetooth? Every module that is enabled keeps sucking power. If you don't turn them off, your phone can indeed get drained pretty quick. The battery is just fine, 1500mAh isn't bad at all. Do keep in mind that - due to the big screen and many options - phones like this just don't last for a week.
Also, did you fully uncharge your battery when you first used the phone?
If the problem persists, you can always contact SE to get a new one, as it's not supposed to drain that fast.
I know on the old P990 if you didn't exit the camera app correctly it just ran in the background and drained the battery. I do a double check in the task manager every so often to ensure that nothing was left running that shouldn't be.

This is a thread from Touch HD about AE Button Plus.
I am testing this now on my X1 because I am alos not happy with MY battery life.

the camera is not that bad, actually it's one of the bests I seen in a mobile device... anyways, don't expect to take, for example, good night photos, but actually, with good lighting the photos came really nice.
as for battery; I'm sure you shoudl have something (maybe wayfinder) running in the background, with moderate use I get 3-4 days of battery without problems; and I never let it get down 40%.
i get about 2 days max on my battery. thats with nothing running in the background, althought it does ckeck my emails every 15 mins.
shame u cant buy a bigger battery like a 3000 that would last twice as long as 4 days on one charge would be amazing
Hm.... i have another one for you guys. I was using the phone non stop for the past couple of days. Wi-fi is always on and i watch media and use opera a lot. The battery lasts for about 8 hours. When i got the phone the battery was almost dead. I did charge it but for a couple of hours only. Then i charged it overnight for 12 hours. Did the fact that i did not charge it for a long time from the box affects my battery life???

yeah, i did that with a phone i bought about 2 years ago and had to get a new battery as the original one would die after a day or 2 (should last about a week as was standard phone). i always leave a new phone on charge overnight now so i know its charged all the cells
I'm not going to say that you guys are wrong, but...
This phone, does not need to be fully drained the first time you use it, nor does it need to be fully charged. That was only an issue on older batteries, it's not an issue anymore.
I also believe it says so in the manual somewhere So, I'm guessing you guys had some defect batteries, cuz it's not an issue with the battery thats in the X1.
are you using Itjes latest HD based rom?
I found I got really bad battery life out of it for a couple of days till I let it run down to under 10% then charged it again. It's working fine now.

I heard the same thing from a couple of people. Older batteries had that problem but modern ones don't. I just wanted to make sure =P
u might be right. like i said it was about 2 years ago it happened to my phone. but why take the risk
The only thing I had on was wifi and check mail every 30minutes.
I only use general useage (8 pictures and a few messages)
but that was it. I dont understand. I charged it for 20mins and its gone from 20% to 60%.
7hours later its only on 50%. Strange thing is, my phone has been on a radiator all day and it hasnt last that much charge.
Last night it was freezing -4c outside and wasnt that warm inside, then I slept in a cold room. I wonder if heat has anything to do with it :S

Did you flash your phone recently? was the battery at full before you flashed it? it's been reported as a problem on other phones (I remember the UNI used to do this) that if you flashed when the battery wasn't at full it messed up the power levels.

Mine was crap the first few days. I read somewhere on this forum to run battery to zero and charge overnight with the phone off. Mine now lasts all day and is recharged each night.
Just a sidetrack with regards to batteries...
When I charge my X1 with the device turned on, the battery tends to heat up till even the casing is hot to the touch. Is anyone else encountering the same thing?
However, when the device is off while charging, the battery doesn't heat up.
Weird...
It depends on what applications you've installed.... Touch flo drains it like hell.
My phone looks like this.
I use SE panel 1, no other gimmicks.
Pocket player for music 2 hrs each day.
15 min of video here and there.
2 hrs of phone calls, and a hell a lot of messages, which means keeping on switching the phone from potrait to landscape and so on...
SPB phone suite.
SPB wallet.
SPB Wireless manager.
I get a solid 2 days with about 15% remaining at the end of the second day...

As much as possible put the phone in sleep mode when you charge the battery. And the battery gets more heated up when charging over USB.
Hi!
I had the same problem some days ago. Even if the X1 slept on my desk with no application running, after 2 days the battery was empty.
I thought about what I installed last and deinstalled Batti. And now the battery lives much longer.
Btw... does anyone know a good app to show the status of the battery? Or how I can show it instead of the clock?
Batti was great but charging every second day was not.
as you can see through my screenshots i face this problem.....
i have my device just a week with 5-6 full charges..
today i put some extra calendars in the google calendar in order to have the name days in my calendar..the file was .ics(i'm wondering if these files are responsible for this drain.. )
please help..

This looks like a bug and that the battery was never fully charged. Your screen shot "shows" the battery drained 90% in less than 3 minutes. I'm pretty sure a lithium cell actually subjected to that would have caught fire and exploded. There's no bounce back in voltage either, as would be expected after such a large drain. There's something wrong with how your phone is reading the voltage of the battery.

I'm not sure there's a problem at all. Does it do this every time you unplug your phone? Does your phone actually power off due to low power when the battery hits 0%?

it's the first time that does that..
i have never leave to hit 0% so i don't know but in the morning the battery hit 4% and the was a notification to charge the phone due to very low battery (something like that)

I wouldn't worry unless it does this again. The Nexus 4, on rare occasion, has some weird software bugs when it comes to charging. Nothing permanent or really inconvenient in my experience. Just 1-time errors.
ok i will keep your advice and i hope to never does it again...
thanks for your advices!!!
Hi,
I have the galaxy s4 for almost 2months and now it has an annoying bug -
I have more than 50% battery and sometimes it get stucked (freezed) and restart itself, and he is failing to reboot until I plug him to the charger.
When he boots up it says that it has 0% battery, even though it had more than a half before it happened
What should I do?
Dead battery?

oh, I didnt think it would die so early.. shame on you samsung

Battery Is fully charged. As soos as I unplugged it. The warning appeared. Battery Critically low. Wtf. Phone is less than 2months old.
This only happened twice. Then I let the battery drain completely and recharged it completely. Now it seems fine.
Samsung.....no words.... :thumbdown: :banghead:
I had a friend who had the same issue, recovery showed a correct value.
Anyway, I took off the back cover and the battery was swolen, he got it replaced under his carrier's warranty the next day.

To recalibrate the battery go to the dial pad, and input x#0228# and a battery status screen will pop up, giving you some information about your battery and such, tap the Quick start, the screen should go off, then come back on might have to wait few secs. and you will notice your battery % might of changed. try doing it a few time until the % stops changing and give you a "real" battery %, then fully charge the battery. should fix any glitches with the battery being read incorrectly. if it doesn't work might mean your battery had it!
From my experience my battery was on 60% after few hours of use, then I recalibrated it and it went down to 20%, fully charged it now my battery lasting a lot longer than before
At least do a battery pull. Don't bother with apps and scripts that wipe battery stats. Do a pull, inspect for leakage, swollen , or damaged areas.

Thank you guys,

my bad, was *#0228#. Late night!
I charged my phone for a little bit last night because it was a little low (48%). I took it off at about 77%. I don't understand what happened. Why did it just drop like a rock? Phone is AT&T LG g2, stock 4.2.2 rooted.
Jesus that can't be good.
I have no clue about this one; it's just too weird.
I'd probably let it fully deplete and then completely charge it and see if it ever does it again.

That's what I'm going to do. Unfortunately this is not the first time it has happened. This happened about 2 weeks ago, but then my GSAM showed a HUGE signal decrease at the same time my battery drained, so I figured it was just that.
This time I just do not understand. I've had this phone since August or September and it's been great until this randomly started happening in the past couple weeks.

Well it says 66% of that was phone radio signal. So that is the problem 90%. I had similat problem only it was while charging, so my phone wasnt charging almost at all, when i restarted it was charging fine (from 20% to 100% in 90 min) . What happened when u picked it up, was it still doing that? Or maybe its a some kind of cpu loop if that is even possible. Some people was complaining about nexus 5 rapidly discharging with combo of some lite apps (news readers).

Yes even after picking it up, the drain continued. I've let it die and am charging the phone while it's off but I don't know if the problem will be fixed.
The youtube app was causing a major battery drain for me a few days ago,now I close it after using it just in case . I'm in the habit of checking the phone's temperature at all times :/
it has a great battery life, especially sceen on time, but the standby isn't top notch at all, I think it's poor software optimization on LG's end, I hope 4.4.2 fixes it.
charge till full. then reboot and check battery percentage.
send from the jungle
Note 4 unrooted, Stock 5.1.1
Fast charging enabled, great battery life untill about a week agoo.
All the sudden my battery have been acting strange. For starters it drains extremly fast! tried every damn app to see what is causing that! Cant find any thing. removed the battery and still dosent help
And just now i had 13% battery and 1 secound later it was down to 1% !!!!
I put in the fast charger and it says it cant charge, but charge icon is still there!
1 secound later its 3% and after that it jumps to 40% then gets back to 25%
Sounds like a bad battery bub. My first battery went Ro hell randomly like that and I found it literally was just that battery. I ordered a replacement plus little charging back up kit on amazon and that battery is normal.

Untill a week agoo i had as mentioned great battery life! But then battery began to drain pretty fast. but the battery jump is totally new and i got this today while looking at the screen.
Can even add that now after a restart i got from 25% down to 16% just after a restart and cache clear :S

That's pretty much how mine started. It was at random, seemingly had no reason to do it honestly. But the first instance it had i believe 15% battery left and suddenly shut itself off lol afterwards I just got another battery on top of an extended battery which I refused to use the fast charging function with. I've read too much and experienced first hand it just wrecks batteries.
strange mine start doing the exact same today. Jumping from 60 to 20 to zero in minutes. Any one advise where to get genuine replacement, not the ebay crap.
Thanks

I live in Sweden, found many Original batterys.. So i dont think that would be a problem. The cost on the other side, thats a nother story!
Hmm.. I suspect fast charging as well. This is the first phone i used with fast charging, and first time that this happens to me.. And i have owned many phones. :S
Will close fast charging, thow its a damn good function.

Same thing happened to mine as well. Ended up buying a two pack of Anker batteries on Amazon, and it's worked like a champ ever since.
I had some really poor battery issues after 5.1.1, also about a month after dropping my Note in water...anyways, I did a factory reset after having 5.1.1 for a few days, and now the battery is doing great!!! 10 -12 hours with medium to heavy use.
I have now changed to a new battery and dont use fast charge anymore.. but now im using wireless charging instead lol
Anyways im still unhappy with the battery, i will do a reset when i get time.
I went from 50 to 1 one night. This was on KK. I upgraded to 5.0.1 (BOF) three days ago and the battery life seems more stable and longer lasting. Try letting it drain until it powers itself off (at night) and charge it off until it is full. I have had to do this on other Android phones (an S3 was one) and it corrected strange battery performance, readings.
