[Q] damaged battery?

Hello, I don't know if my battery is dying, but lately I've been experiencing terrible battery drops (70% to 50%, 40% to 20%) using CM10, that started since the 24.09 build. Then I flashed stock and installed the latest nightly build from Quarx, (10.01) thinking that it might fix that way, and I've read that you should be able to have a better battery performance but I didn't. Anyway, I went back to stock, thinking that CM10 might be the reason of those drops, but it happened again.

I would like to know if indeed my battery is damaged, or if I'm doing something wrong or I'm missing something at any installation step.
thanks in advance for the help.

Drops usually mean ur battery is bad, but maybe you should clear battery stats (in recovery) and see if that fixes anything, if not buy a new battery, that's what I did, hovever I even got the 1700 mAh one (original for defy+) and I love it
Buy only original batteries, cause others are usually awful....

I did the "clear battery stats" thing, and did not work at all, still the drops... Then I went for the buying option, and I bought a 1500mAh last week, and it works like a charm! no drops at all ! At least not that big, hehe, anyway, thanks for the tip!

I think my battery is fake. I need a bit of Help from you guys

Okay, this is a new battery that I got after my original battery was swollen.
I think this battery is fake due to many reasons. Sometimes it automatically charge itself and battery percentage increases to 5-10%.
It lasts very less and etc etc.
When I type *#0228# on dialpad I get this:

Here's mine, it looks different.

Mine looks like the fake one as well

Try NFC. This feature doesn't work on many fakes.

this isn't sudden death.
It's a faulty battery.
Take it out of the phone, is it swollen in the middle??

This is a known fault and Samsung have already said they would replace battery for free.
Give them a call and tell them.
I think the serial number on the bad batch of batteries starts with BD but it might not be limited to those.
Good luck

"Unaccounted" process draining battery

Hi everybody.
It's more than a month that I'm experiencing a battery drain coming from an "unaccounted" source (reported from the app System Panel 2). I haven't put on charge the phone last night, and this is the result (see attachment and link). Any idea about what is draining and/or how to solve it?
Thanks in advantage!

Why is my screen using 200mA or more, for 5 min, each half an hour?

Ok, quite weird for a screen for having this much drain, are you on Oreo, there is a problem with undue battery drain, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/samsung-s8-oreo-battery-drains-fast-t3772609 try keeping the brightness down and reduce the resolution. Good Luck, EDIT: It might be your android system, after checking my phone the android system and screen take most battery.
How long does your phone last on a full charge?

btw toke me a while to find the manufactor( https://www.awinic.com/Public/Uploads/uploadfile2/files/20200515/20200515145039_5ebe3bbf4b71e.pdf) of this ic but i want to know if there is something better(compatible) like texas instruments?

I know this is a little off topic... But seeing a post for the OP8Pro with a 2022 date on it is refreshing! Been searching for days for information on how to flash a ROM/TWRP and/or ROOT and most posts are from 2020. I was beginning to think the device/projects were abandoned!
While on the subject, if anyone has recently and successfully accomplished any of the things I mentioned, would you please share? I have over a 100 tabs open right now from all the bricking I've had to come out of over the last 5 days!
Thanks!
