6P turning off just under 25% of battery - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone!
My Nexus had a great battery Life at the beginning..after 6 months,it started to last less,so i bought a smartwatch to help the battery last longer; but the things didn't get better. The phone overheat when using maps or play some games just for 10 minutes;when i unplug the charger at 11.30 am in the morning,it goes to a 50 or 40% around 4 o' clock pm in the afternoon just after sending some WhatsApp messages, and after have played 15 minutes..the battery drains really really fast..but worst of all,when the battery reach the 25%,suddendly the phone turns off,telling that the battery have reached 1% and is empty. If i turn on the phone again,the battery percentage indicator is still set to 1%..what's the problem with it?i have a faulty battery?Need to call the Google assistance?
The phone is stock,not rooted or anithing else.
Thanks a lot!

I have had the same issue.
Occurs sometimes when I'm on 10%, I power it back on and it says 1%.
The problem is if you charge using QuickCharger all the time, especially overnight, it can degrade your battery but in a way that it doesn't fully charge.
Try using a normal USBC cable you got and PC to charge it for a few days...don't leave it charging more than 3 hours.
See if it'll get better after a week.

I Always use the supplied charger from Google..sometimes a car adapter with a usb c- usb c- cable...how is it possible that the stock Wall adapter mess up the battery??

Atom battery won't charge anymore - HELP

Hi. One morning I switched my atom on and got the notice that I need to charge my battery and a second later the screen went black. I figured the battery charge was really low. Now I cannot charge the battery at all. The red charging light stays on for 20 seconds then dies. I can't switch my ATOM on. Tech Support suggested charging the Atom w/o the battery first for an hour then charging it w/ battery inserted after that. I tried this but still no go. I charged the Atom w/o the battery for 10 hours then inserted the batter but it still won't charge after that. I CAN SWITCH ON w/o the battery but with AC power. It shows Main Battery charge 100% as soon as I unhook the AC adapter, the phone dies. I even tried inserting the battery while the AC is plugged in. The phone stays on but as soon as I take the charger out (after I leave it for 10 hours hoping to charge the battery), I get the Warning that my battery is exhausted and the phone goes dead 10 sec. later. Anyone know a solution? I've ordered a new battery just in case.
Sounds like the battery is dead actually. I think that new battery you ordered will do the trick. The phone itself looks undamaged because it operates fine plugged in to the adapter without the battery, right?
New Battery worked
Thanks for reply Mochan
The new battery did work. I was just worried that the internal battery was damaged. Didn't want to have to send the device back to HK where I bought it.
BTW I bought new battery at good price here: http://tinyurl.com/22eeca hope it lasts longer than the original.

HTC Magic (Sapphire) battery charging issues

OK, first I admit, the battery is a POS. I usually have enough battery life to make it through a full day, but usually it will die in the evening before I go to bed and put it on charge.
Recently I got a message, "Charging current is not enough for device power consumption. Please connect your AC adapter." Strange thing, though, it WAS connected to my AC charger. I get the same message with both of my chargers.
Battery will not charge, but has just enough power to keep the phone running as long as there is charge already in the battery. So the battery is almost dead, I put it on the charger all night long, get up in the morning and take it off, and then it beeps extra low battery! and then dies shortly after.
The only way I can get it to work is to leave the phone powered off for a long period of time and charge it then. Doesn't always work though. works if I take out the battery and charge it all by itself on a USB phone battery charger.
Sounds like the problem is somewhere in the phone, not with the chargers. Why would both of them do the same thing?
Please help.
does it do the same thing when plugged in and charging via USB??
could be a bad battery...
from old phones i had previous to my magic it sometimes helped to clean the contacts on the battery and charging pins on the phone..
I'll check that...
BTW, if I am plugged into an AC adapter, is it supposed to stay on even if I remove the battery?
NOPE! same message. Been charging all day now and only shows just over half charge on the battery. Most of this is from the hour or so that I had the battery out and charging on its own.

Faster charging?

Does using the AC charger charge the phone any quicker than using the USB charger?
I know I could try it, but Im trying to open as little of the packaging as possible in case I send the phone back.
I cant believe it takes SO long to charge and yet so little time to discharge
Should the phone be switched off when charging? It seems that if it is on, it drains the battery quicker than it charges??
Mine has been on charge since just after 9am and it is at 76%! I got to go to work in an hour
91 minutes ago I took the galaxy off charge . Dow
n to 81% battery. 30 minutes of that was travelling on my bike.
Ill be generous and say I spent 10 minutes browsing. That is some terrible battery life.
using AC adapter / mains power is always going to be faster than charging via usb because usb can only draw a certain amount of power... and no it does not matter if it is on or off when charging .. when battery is full it stops charging...
next... the battery life is fine. I get two days use with have HSPDA / wifi on 24/7 .. I listen to music for about 2 hours a day... email is getting pusher over as soon as possible...
Use advanced task killer.... and other memory 'cleaners' ...
and turn auto brightness off and set it to minimum when you can

Phone loosing charge will connected to an external battery

I have noticed that I can start with my phone fully charged....get to work...facebook, text and mayb..e YouTube some, connect
To an external battery charger and then be on and off the phone all day maybe 15 mins per hour using the phone not
Connected to charger and then 45 mins on the charger and the phone never gets fully recharged.
It will rise in fall by maybe 20-30%
So if I let it get down to 50% use it it will go down to maybe 30-20% then let it charge it may come back to 50% and it does that
For the rest of the day. Even if I leave on charge for maybe an hour it won't get past 50-60%.
I tried just leaving it on a charger while listening to pandora.... at best it looses charge very slowly. Maybe 5-10= an hour.
I started off today fully charged and have maybe had it off an external battery for 30 mins during the last 3.5hrs and it is down to
77 or 75%. Is this normal? Yes there are a lot of notifications and such running non my phone.
This is very common place if you are not using the Samsung cable & Samsung charger. Generic chargers and cables don't always deliver the full current to the phone. Some will only pass about .5amps which is not enough to charge and have the screen active. There is a thread in the General Section called car chargers that has a lot of info on this.

Battery drain while charging?! HELP

So, I'm using the OEM charger that came with the phone. For the past 2 months the phone wasn't charging properly. It says it's rapidly charging, but the estimated time left was showing anything between 3 and 6 hours. In reality the phone charged to a 100% in about 3 hours. At first I thought my power outlet was the problem because it didn't behave this way every time. For that past 2 weeks it always charges slowly and sometimes even drains my battery. Last night I plugged it in and the phone had 40% battery, when I woke up the notification light was blinking red and the phone was off.
I think my charger is the culprit because the battery life is fine. Should I buy a new charger and if yes, what charger do I get because I can't find an original one anywhere ?
Thanks in advance.
