Hello to you all,
My new XDA Exec has developed a fault. It works OK when plugged in to the USB on my laptop or charger but when running on battery will only do so for a short time. In fact a matter of a few minutes.
The battery indicator shows the battery at 100% when charged but the phone turns off variously at 95 - 98%. I tried a soft reset and not change.
I tried discharging the battery using small lamp then recharging in the phone. The battery indicator did show a lower %age 80 ish but not as low as I would have thought. Subsequent charging made no difference and the problem persists. Has anyone seen this before? Any bright suggestions?
Many thanks to you all for you time.
Cheers

You battery is dead therefore you would need to change. You are not unique with this problem. That is common issue for Universal (exec) batteries. For your new battery: dont charge with the USB cable and charge when is completely drained.
Hi Bulldog,
thanks for the reply and the info. Regarding charging the unit from the USB port. Does the unit not begin charging as soon as it's plugged in to a USB port? Is there a way to prevent this that you know of? My phone was normally charged for about half it's life from the charger, half from USB.
From what I understand the LI ion batteries don't have a charge memory due to milisecond pulse charging so pardon me for asking but what does the total discharge do for the battery? Obviously it does something but what? (Not doubting you but I'm curious). Is there a away to ressurect a defective battery such as the one I have currently or is it a lost cause. I know some batteries can improve with either heating or cooling by about 20 - 40°C from normal operating temeprature, have you any experience with this?
Do you know if some makes of batteries are better than others?
Please pardon the inquisition but as I spend a lot of time in remote areas it's often quite handy to be able to bodge rig stuff in order to effect a temporary fix and it seems any bits of knowledge help!
Once again many thanks

Hi, I have the exact same problem...works fine when usb or mains connected but only for a few minutes when on the battery. Usually when I give it some heavy task stuff it will suddenly just blank out the acreen and die.
I'm going to try and do what's suggested on the wiki page about masking off the charge indicator contact with tape - run the thing down and charge up again.
otherwise it's a new battery - not expensive - and plenty about on ebay.

Hi Piran,
Be Frank I am not battery specialist. Therefore I cant give a deep explanation what makes the Universal Battery having so many problems with USB charging. For my understanding it is the slow charge which leads to Battery overheat. Therefore All the post here regarding the Battery problems suggest not keeping the universal charged with USB. Just search for Post for "battery problems" and you will find few "explanations"
In Regards whether you could reverse your battery issue. From my previous experience I would say the max the you can get back is some 10-15%. However in your case the issue seams more severe as you device turns off by 90-100% therefore I think you would need to order new Battery.
following procedure I follow to drain my battery:
1) Turn off You Phone Radio (important)
2) disable the "Turn off Backlight" and put your device brightness to "full"
3) let your device drain the battery by him self( prevent doing anything with your device during this time. I found starting application, touching screen etc. leads that the device request a pick of power which the battery is not able to provide and turns the device off.
4) after certain time your battery will be to weak to keep the device on.
5) push the "power button + backlight button + reset pin" to put your device in to bootloader mode. (your screen will be almost off just some info like SERIAL or Bootloader Version will be visible)
6) again keep the device in this mode to drain as much you can until you cant see anything on the screen.
7) repeat this point6 few times as sometimes the device turns of but after trying again the button combination you can put it back to bootloader.
With above the aim is to drain the battery much as possible. After that you charge your device with power connection for min.12 hours. I guess you will gain few % however repeat the draining and charging procedure for next couple charging cycle to see how much max you will get back.
Good Luck.
I faced the same problem with my battery on Universal.
After a complete drain, the battery wont recharge:
1) Connecting the power cord it starts the boot process, after few seconds the power led ligths in red once, the screen blanks and the boot restarts again and again.
2) Using the usb cord the power led flashes in red without further actions.
I have to throw away the battery, I guess.
Thanks for any comment.

Cesare, One thing you could try before given up on your battery. Try to Use your power connection to charge for while before starting up your device.
How much is a new battery?

When I connect the power cord the start up begins automatically.

Cesare, you right when you plug in the device it will boot up. However after while (ca.10-15) when the first initialization complete you could go and switch off the screen(with power button) which takes allot power. Anyhow in your case it is really strange as your device behaves like it has no battery at all. there could be 2 things leading to that.
1) your battery is completely dead ( check with a voltmeter to confirm)
2) or something wrong with your Connection clips (battery and device) you could again check with a voltmeter whether you get any juice on those clips.

Hi Bulldog.
I think that the 1st one is the rigth hypothesis. I'll check with a voltmeter.
The connection clips are ok because the backup battery works perfectly.
To drain that battery I connected an optical usb mouse until the mouse ligth went off. Do you think that this action is the reason of the death?
Many thanks again

Cesare, your battery my not complete dead but it is to weak to lighten up your Universal. Said that leads to bad thing which is: you can only start to charge battery when the universal has come out of bootloader mode.
I had such case ones, after not using my device for very long time the battery was completely drained, And as you described the device keep booting after plugging to the power. However after certain time ( I think some 15-30min trying) suddenly I was able to start up. I am not sure whether that would help to overcome the booting mode with less power but you could try to take out your sim card and memory card and try booting. ( again not sure it will help)
Guys - a quick update from my previous post.
I was suffering a sudden power outage at about 75%-85% battery power - just a blank screen - power gone. Didn't happen when mains connected, only on battery.
Well, first things first, I thought...dodgy ROM for WM 6 - so I tried a few of them - Ivans, Ranju's and Beastys - no change - still this power out.
Read the posts on this forum and thought - gotta be the battery's fried.
Sooo,
I ordered a new Genuine JasJar battery and installed it - (let it charge for 8 hours) - since then...no problems - no crashes, stalls or blank outs.
I'm running Ranju's 7.4 with spb pocket plus - htc home, etc,
As a point of interest my old battery stated 3.9Volts when I put my meter across it BUT - a voltmeter isn't drawing as much as the universal - when 'under load' from power intensive apps - hence you think you've got a battery putting out the requisite power when you haven't.
This was a real niggly problem to sort out with potential culprits all over the place:
Bad battery?
Bad ROM?
PCB crack?
Hardware Fault?
At the end of the day it's good to have spent £32 or so and simply got rid of the problem totally.
I'd say to anyone who's getting outs or blank outs at 80% power or below - your battery stuffed and no amount of mucking about with ROM swaps, Freezers, charging/ discharging is going to stop it blanking out on you.
I'd also like to say how appreciative I am of this forum with a great deal of knowledge available from so many users across a very broad spectrum of skills and experience. Nice one!
Hope this helps,
fanger

You can't charge with phone off with magldr... the phone needs to be on. Cotulla has it turn on on purpose when it's plugged in because people were complaining that they had to remove battery to boot after charging while off. This is mentioned in the magldr thread as a feature of the newest version.
Why not just leave it on while charging?

let it rest ? maximize my mobile life by switching it off every night?
am i wrong ?
marginal difference, you would get a better charge if you slow charged it....potentially.
also run it low an charge rather than lots of little charges, do not empty battery!! if you do you wont be able to turn on the phone which in turn means you wont be able to charge it at all.
If you do run it empty and WP7 fails to boot before turning off again you may have one or two shots at getting it to charge
this is only a last ditch chance at getting your phone to boot in such situations with out resorting to external charging
so, if your phone turns off due to being empty then restarts by its self but fails to load the os before restarting again , remove the battery straight away, letting it restart and fail over an over will only make things worse
next you need to apply some high school physics to the battery.....
heat it up, place it on a radiator or somewhere you can heat it up and keep it to hand, do not use a fire or a heat source strong enough to burn you, no not leave it on otherwise it will likely blowup.
anyhow, once the battery is toasty warm you should be able to get 1 shot at loading the OS to allow propper charging. This will only work if there is some charge in teh battery, if you go to far than external charge is the onlyother alternative

-No, i used the usb cable and nokia charging kit.
-Not so much it can't take a day.
Also i can hear a strange noise coming from the charging kit. when it's plugged in. Could be an hardware error or software?
Better not do hard reset on the Android, can not help but bring you trouble ... to the charge I had the same case on CM 7.2, after a few reboot is to be changed do not know what the problem was, the developers are working on it, read forum you will find lots of information about
"i can hear a strange noise coming from the charging kit"
I would not use it, it is safer to be charged via USB cable.

Thx for reply. I don't think it's an android ROM problem. I had the same problem when i still used the wm 6.5
here's a solution
Flash Back to Wi-Mo and Check Setings\System\Power\Battery -Do not charge the battery if the phone is switched on and connected to a PC.
How do you know, that the phone is not charging?
The state of the LED (red/green/off) is changed by software (WM/Android), if the device is turned on, while the charging itself is controlled by hardware only.
You should check, if the phone is really not charging, while its turned on. Just ignore the charging LED and monitor the charging state of the battery after an hour, after you started with an almost empty one.
Best regards
@stahlnase, you're right when it comes to Android, but (windows phones) have software to control the charging. Something else;although we have through the nand installation erased entire phone, there are still some Wi-Mo "things" in this case battery setting or GPS was also associated with a Win-Mo settings. Regards!
I'm still not convinced, that the battery doesn't get recharged, just because the LED is not on
But you made an important point about enabling charging, while being connected to PC. Since demian12 is not using the HTC USB power supply, the device might "think" it is connected to a PC instead on a pure USB recharger. I believe, there are differences in the wiring of USB connectors to determine, if its a power and data plug or power supply only.
Regards.

Ok, i've flashed the original wm 6.5 greek rom.
After that, my phone won't charge at all.It shows a solid orange light for 3 seconds then it starts blinking.
I can start my phone but it closed soon, after wm boot.
Because your battery is completely empty ... it is necessary to leave some time (5-10 min) to charge, ignore charging indicator, the battery is charging! After ten minutes put the battery out / in and start a Phone.
Go to: Setings \ System \ Power \ Battery.
And Unselect option: -Do not charge the battery if the phone is switched on and connected to a PC.
Done

Still me, new info
I tried with another battery.Surprize my phone shows that, that one is empty too.
Strange isn't it?
Any ideea?
If you have a good HTC charger and battery doesn't charge after you reseted windows to factory default, then your problem is hardware related.
Of course I have some ideas, but do not have time until Monday to deal with anything. Sorry. I have a suspicion that Nokia charger burned your phone. Of course, should be checked, maybe is a bug in the Android battery driver, and with the help of a trick to make the jump and put everything into place. either way, do not give up, try again and again to turn on your phone.

I was very fast so I could run Haret, before it shut down.I've installed Android on it again.I don't know what to say till now.If I put it at usb my phone stays awake, but the battery indicator does't raise. It shows my that is charging but...anyway is batter than completly dead.
Thanks to all
I ran my phone down to empty battery, so I went to charge it. As it was already powered off I left it because, surely, it would charge faster that way.
When I came back to take it off the charger I discovered the phone powered on, display on full brightness, WiFi on and everything, and the phone hadn't charged sufficiently at all.
I never told it to turn on but it does this every time, and even when I turn it back off it turns back on again!!! ???
Thanks for your answers! ?
The same thing happens to me... no offline charging on our G6's, at least not after reaching around 5% of battery.
So when I want to charge my g6 faster, I will plug it in and make sure it's charging and then I will power it off. It will act like it's booting back up but it won't.

You can't change that. The only workaround is to turn it off after you have connected the charger. Since I use wireless charging, that is a difficult option for me so I just gave up.
You can't ffs, it has auto boot after 3-4% of charging. And thats not even a bad thing. If you want charge it faster turn airplane mode on, on charging.

HI !1
when i put my G6 on charge it mostly show high temperature detected and shutting down message and power off .. what should i do i face high temperature message after 24 hrs .. although my phone is on normal temp and no heat on its body ?
Maybe a software thing? Im on 20G oreo canadian unbranded sim unlocked. I powered down at 2 percent and plugged in charger and my phone stayed off untill i powered up ag 100 percent. Just my observation

Try factory reset first. If still the same then it sounds like a battery failure, which can be replaced but not easily.

That option in settings is there whether you can OEM unlock the device or not... Also, most or at least some G6 models can be OEM unlocked.
That temperature warning is still probably your battery. Batteries can get extremely hot when they malfunction (much more so than the other components alone) so I'd get it checked out or you may have a Note7 in your hands

So still no fix for the issue? Mine is turning on when charging as well, I mainly use wireless charging but it happens when charging with the USB cable AND when charging wirelessly. The phone will not stay powered off. Any suggestions? I have the most recent Android 8.0.0 update, VS988 on Verizon. I've never had an issue like this on Android, very frustrating.
I also found this link from LG. It seems to be software based, why would they do this?

In my case I drained the battery during usage thus not performing a graceful shutdown. When I try to charge into the wall it displays the charging icon on the screen and runs out of power and shuts down again-->Won't Charge.... I plugged the cable into my computer which seems to perform a slower charge --> the battery icon does not display and I am able to charge... this is silly as as a workaround solution. How to prevent the battery icon from display during charge?
This worked for me and it was so simple. I was looking in the wrong place for an answer.
On the plug end, where the USB cable is plugged into the plug, I noticed that the cable did not seem to be pushed in all the way. I pulled it out of the plug, then reinserted it as far as it would go.
Voila! The problem went away. I can now turn off my phone, insert the charging plug, and the phone goes into fast charge and, most importantly, stays powered OFF. Try it. this might work for you as well.

I've been having power drain issues for a couple of months now, have tried almost everything but issue isn't resolved. Will replacing the motherboard solve the issue? Coz I suspect a wakelock issue. Below are what I've tried.
The battery has started to drain big time and the Android system is consuming most of the power.
1. Calibrating my battery.
2. Factory reset to January update.
3. Stopping the apps running in the background.
4. Turning off location, wifi and internet.
5. Tried disabling backup of photos.
6. Disabled app preview messages under Google.
7. Tried replacing the physical battery at the service center.
8. Currently running on the June 2018 patch.
Despite doing all this the battery drains big time, even when it's idle, when I'm sleeping.
I'm unable to upload screenshot because it keeps saying that there's a network issue. But the screenshot stats say that the android os consumes most of the battery and SoT was 30 minutes. Phone was idle for most of the time. It came down 100-20% in a few hours.
Android OS is eating away most of the battery.

No, motherboard replacement won't fix the issue. It looks like there's an issue with deep sleep. try a custom kernel and see if that helps
While my drain is not as bad as the OPs, it is bad. I have taken to turning on Airplane mode when the phone is not in use. Overnight drain is 20%+ when idle if not in Airplane mode, 1% if it is. SoT has gone from the original 6-7 hours to about 2.5 to 3 hours. Battery health is at 96% according to battery app. Held awake seems to be very high if not in Airplane mode, with almost 3 hours overnight when the phone is not in use. Main battery use is from Kernel and Phone. HOPEFULLY these issues will be resolved with 8.1 or P, but I won't hold my breath.
Unfortunately none of these issues were addressed in 8.1 and I'm not sure if they even recognized this issue, for it to be solved in future updates.

You're probably the only one or one of the very few with bad battery drain (80% in just a few hours while idle) on the stock rom so you probably got a lemon or its damaged from a fall.
Flashing the Jan 2018 rom wasn't smart at all since there was alot of news that the first Oreo update was very buggy and was pulled. 8.1 is also buggy and also got pulled. Best to flash the stock April rom for less problems.

Flashing the Jan 2018 rom wasn't smart at all since there was alot of news that the first Oreo update was very buggy and was pulled. 8.1 is also buggy and also got pulled. Best to flash the stock April rom for less problems.

Thank you for your response. The phone does not have any physical damage. Flashing the Jan 2018 rom was a move by the service center despite telling them it wouldn't help.
I managed to figure out using GSAM that the issue is being caused by 700000.ssusb kernel wakelock and I have no clue how to fix it. Do you have a workaround for it?
As this option is USB related, you could try changing the usb mode in developer options:
Settings>System>Developer options>Select USB configuration - change it to "charging" (I note mine is currently MTP)
I'm 100% guessing here but maybe if it's set to charging it won't be looking for OTG devices?

I've tried setting it to all possible modes under USB configuration including "charging", but doesn't seem to help.
OK, it was only a thought.
I did read on another thread someone say they plugged and OTG adaptor (no OTG device attached) and it stopped the problem, not a solution but worth a try, if you have one.
Have you inspected carefully with a torch inside the USB hole for any debsit that has got in there?

Yes I read about that work around too. Haven't tried it yet as I do not have an OTG adapter. Will post a response once I try.
Haven't inspected the USB port either, will do.

Can you try this:
Reboot phone, when its rebooted, plug the charger in and out once.

Most of the threads have a reboot method that works for the user but they all vary a little bit, this works for this user:
In my case a kernel wakelock called "7000000.ssusb" was keeping my phone from entering deep sleep. I resolved it by plugging my charger, unplug it and turn it off immediately, wait a few minutes and reboot. However it is a specific solution for that bug.

I think you might need to play around a bit and see what works for you.
Don't forget to do the Better Battery Stats dump I posted in the other thread.

I've already tried the plug in - screen on - unplug - reboot, but did not work for me. I'll post the dump over the weekend.

I'm just noticing this today,
When I click on the USB configuration and set it to "Charging" from "MTP", it doesn't actually change.
The pop up that shows different options shows that it's in charging but it's actually still in MTP. I'm not sure if this could be the cause.
Do you know how to fix this?

You need to back out of developer options and go back in again to see the change.
Plug the charger in
Change mode to charging
Back out of developer options
Re enter developer option - should no be on charging.
Plugging in, changing the selection, backing out and going back in does not show changes: Change setting to Charging->back->back. Developer options-> Select USB Configuration shows Media Transfer Protocol, while the Selection itself shows charging. (it's plugged in, so makes sense) I tried changing this to Music Transfer Protocol last night and it made zero difference in the battery drain. I just tried the plug in, turn off, unplug thing. I will let you know if I see any difference. USB port is clean under 5x magnification. NETLINK and timerfd shows more activity than 7000000.ssusb on my device, but all of them are higher than they should be I think.. NETLINK shows 324644 wakelocks!!! Timerfd shows 65337 and 7000000.ssub shows 33256! The thing is, the phone has been used very little since the last full charge!
That's odd, I dont have the issue and when I choose "charging" it stays on that setting even after unplugging the charger. Each time I re-enter developer options it's still set to charging.
The fact yours changed links in with the wakelock, your phone appears to think something is plugged in which is why I asked you to check for debris in the port. I'm wondering if you have a damaged usb port?
If it's software related, I don't think resetting it will help, I'm no expert but I'm assuming as its a kernel wakelock & I'm sure a reset has no effect on the kernel? maybe others can advise.
I wonder if flashing the stock Kernel would help, I'm only thinking out loud, I'm sure others can give better flashing advice.
Do the wakelocks show up while charging?
Your next step really has to be to post a dump on the official thread, a few people are complaining about this battery drain but nobody has posted a dump to the official thread yet.

Yes that's exactly what's happening as described in first point.
I observed NETLINK sends more wakelocks but if you see the time it kept the system awake in the background would be comparitively less.
