Hi!
Guys, I have a problem and I have no idea how to resolve it. I was installing a couple of ROMs (of course after rooting my Z2 Pro and installing TRWP 3) first I think Ressurection, and then I stayed on Cyanogen. But unfortunately after installing those ROMs battery started to behave really strange. It was draining from 100% to dead within like 30 minutes...
So of course I went back to stock ROM because I thought that that was a custom ROM problem. But unfortunately the problem remained and it was getting even more strange - it was draining fast to 1% and then it stayed on the 1% for almost the whole day, and it kept rebooting a couple of times. So I rooted the phone again, installed TRWP and tried wiping the battery stats. Unfortunately the problem remained it was either draining and shutting down or it's draining and staying at 1%.
Could you guys help me with that? I think I've tried everything I could, I have no idea what to do next...

hmmm i don't get it:
after doing a successful flash according to virnik0's procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556 everything was fine - for a couple of weeks or so..
battery would last for days and days just in standby - then suddenly it started to run down pretty quick - now it lasts not even 24 hours - and that is even without any usage at all - just lying there on my desk - idle..
i have absolutely nothing running - no wireless - no programs running - only the mobile network connection - all other programs stopped..
i even bought a new battery - but same problem - less than 24 hour standby on idle.. not even making 1 telephone call..
i also tried resetting the battery..
would it help to do a complete re-flash?
My first guess would be, that you installed / updated an app which goes crazy now.
You can rule out every app that is preinstalled, from google or commonly used (such as titanium backup) .
You can try to uninstall these apps one by one and see if the drain persists.
If so I'd flash a full ROM without installing additional apps. After that you'll have to wait 2-3charges until the battery indicator is accurate again. If the drain is still there it could be a hardware problem.
I think reflashing will fix the issue but don't hold me to it
good luck

I am having the same issue. My battery after flashing 2.3.3 JVK was fabulous. now it is not even lasting for a complete day with no wifi and 3g.
I guess i did wipe the battery stats , after which i am getting these crazy values. I am going to wipe the battery stats after my phone is fully charged and see if anything happens.
i guess there is a guide somewhere in these forums that we have to complete recharge, do a wipe and completely discharge and do a wipe again. please have a look at Battery issue threads in XDA.
Hey, check this thread, there are some interesting observations.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021711
I don't really believe in wiping the battery stats. They have to be rewritten and that also takes time and gives confusing values in the mean time. Just using the phone normally and always discharging as low as possible while always charging full is my approach.
With JVK it's another story, I think no one knows exactly what causes the drain. it could be the update but I also suspect the gallery, I overwrote the gallery3D.apk with a 2.2.1 version and the drain seemed to disappear. But that's not even a observation, more a feeling since I flashed an restarted several times in the past days since I flashed JVK so I'm more or less just trying a lot at the same time and hope something works
Thank you theduckking - yep did that too - uninstalled all apps not needed but still draining too much - so I am inclined to re-flash..
So you say I can try just reflash ROM - is that also via ODIN? and how do I know which ROM to flash and what it is called?
lycan_codex - yep I did do a battery re-set also in recovery mode - following the procedure from another post - didn't help either
I recommend Odin.
It doesn't really matter which ROM, you could take darky's resurrection edition to have a minimal odin rom.
but flashing a romkitchen (wipe) rom through CWM should also do the job
or you head over to [Ramad]'s thread choose a stock odin firmware (some scrolling required) and flash that.
If you find, that the drain is fixed after installing a minimal rom, you can flash a bigger/fuller ROM over it through CWM and customize it and live happily ever after.
So my G2 used to last me a whole day easily, my battery life was incredible, then one day, I went to sleep, with my phone at 64%, and it wasn't charging, so then I slept 7 hours, and when I woke up, it's dead, 100% dead, it wouldn't turn on, well it would but just to turn itself back off again. Anyways, I'm rooted, I have Dorimanx kernel, killed off and deleted all unnecessary apps and tasks, ect. this battery drain has no source, at least I don't think so. My battery doesn't last half as long as it used to, and I noticed my phone is always staying slightly warm now, so you may think, it's running something, that's what's killing the battery, no, nothing is running, i checked with rom toolbox manager, and nothing that shouldn't be running is running. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I just replace the battery myself? My phone would have times (before this battery drain) that it would stay warm, but even then, my battery life was amazing. ANY help at all is very appreciated.
Edit: I fixed it? I decided to reset the phone, to see of it was a tweak messing with the battery, it still dies fast, so then I went back to stock via kdz method, so this way I had no custom kernel or anything. Still the battery drained. Then I just rooted and flashed the backup I made in TWRP right before I went back to stock, that brought my kernel and tweaks all back, and then, idk why, my battery life is fine again? After 3-4 days of dieing very quickly. Idk what happened, but if you have a battery drain, try flashing the stock ROM again and then testing the phone out like that. It worked for me. Also, I had signal problems before I went back to stock, and now I have LTE everywhere I go. I'm keeping this up in case someone has a similar problem.
So, I have been using the Moto G4 Plus ( Indian Variant -XT1643 ) for a quite few months. Then 1-2 months ago, I rooted it, first with superuser and then replaced it with Magisk. I am using ElementalX kernel. But then after some days , the battery started acting weirdly. It drains very quickly. Also if I charge the phone fully and then reboot in bootloader , it drops to 15-16 . Sometimes the phone switches off at 10% battery. Even in idle, the battery drains very fast. When charged to 100%, the battery page of settings shows something like 45-55 mins left and that too varies. Currently on 56% it's showing 51 mins left. It's just 1 hour ago when I charged my phone to 100%. Is it time to replace the battery or is it a software issue as it drops to 15% in bootloader even if fully charged. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem but only with magisk, wih SuperSU everything is ok ?
Alright, I will try with SuperSu and update you. Thanks for the help.
Its software issue, may be ex kernel, magisk, supersu or any other app is draining it. Use better battery stats or similar like it and see who is sucking your battery juice.
And as you have already rooted your phone then try any custom rom as they dont have its problem (some may have also). And if wanna stick to stock rom then reset your phone and root it and then use for a while you will get the difference from before and now.

Ok. Its good to know that it's a software issue. I already tried factory reset but it didn't help. Strangely, the battery is fine now. I drained it completely and charged to 100%. Maybe that might have reset the battery stats or something. Anyways , if the problem still persists I will try custom ROM. Thanks a lot.

Hmmm, I never had battery drain issues while using ElementalX kernel rooted with Magisk (14.0).
At least not while using Motorola stock Nougat with the above.
Maybe your battery just lost its calibration as you assumed.
Hello guys, I'm struggling with a G935F that's been having weird boot and battery failures in the past months, and now sometimes it won't even boot. Phone has been bought in 2016 so it has no warranty.
I've flashed it using '7.0 stock ROM' through Odin, then factory and cache wipe, but nothing changed. 5 days later I could got into the OS, installed firmware update and again this "infinite bootloop and suddenly working again", so frustrating.
More Context:
1) Battery drain anomaly started 3 or 4 months ago, with overheating and a boot loop. Sometimes it got frozen at the "SAMSUNG" logo, sometimes at "SAMS...". But at least, after a few attempts, I could got into the phone.
2) Last weeks, the same issue, charged the batery at 100%, and started to loop-->∞...'til it was 0%. 20% recharge then black screen with blue led until the battery was completely depleted. Full recharge and misteryously started to work.
3) The same as point 1, but couldn't boot or do anything though, so I decided to flash it with the stock rom.
4)Tried 2 different stock ROM's, but the same as point (1) . Today the phone finally got into the OS and it's working fine.
I'll install Superman ROM with Notorious Kernel to see if this behaviour changes, but since this phone isn't mine, I want to take advice from you guys: Is this behaviour a software or hardware problem? Phone used to get overheated but now it's not happening, It's working fine, I'm doing a start-up and shut down cycle to see if the problem occurs at certain battery level. And everything is going fine. So if you need more specific information I think i can run anything safetly.
I have tried 3 different ROM's. Minotaur, Superman and Stock. Customized ROM's won't even install, phone freezes with weird lines, as if it were a GPU fail, it gets really hot until the battery is depleted. After several attemps, sometimes I can access de OS (sometimes with Minotaur ROM), but it freezes in the Google Account input menu.
Here is a log after trying to install Minotaur again.

I have an S5 G900T which I got from somebody. The problem is that every time I restart the phone it goes down 10% or so. Is that normal? I don't think so. Every custom rom I test it's the same problem. Is it a battery problem or...?
This problem is always not solved. I change the other phone or change the battery. The result is the same. The battery is recharged 10% less when it is fully charged. The test is the same for many ROMs. Only Android7.1.2 is normal. give up!
Maybe it's because it heats up and has many apps to load on startup? I restarted my phone today and didn't lose any percent from the restart, but lost around 3% while my apps were loading the first few minutes after the reboot.
