Without fail my Nexus 7 seems to die around 25% battery. Strangely, this only happened after I unlocked/rooted it, but now it happens every time. I even charged to full, used CWM to wipe battery stats and let it run down from there, still no dice.
Safe to say I should get a replacement?
No? I'd be surprised if I'm the only one having this problem... Seems like the Nexus 7's hardware issues are pretty widespread.
I must admit, when it died, I dont know what % the battery was at.

Since youve rooted it, your warranty may be void, assuming that it wont be have you tried a custom rom? as daft as it sounds i had this issue on my old HTC desire, but a custom rom did fix this.
I havent had any issues at all with my nexus 7, my nexus was down to 8% last night when i plugged it in to charge before bed.
Aslo i wouldnt assume there are "wide spread" issues with the nexus7, for every device ever made there are always numerous threads about faults and the odd pixel being missing, people like to come onto the internet to broadcast there views when they feel they have been slighted or wronged in someway, if there was any "widespread issues with the nexus" (such as apples antenagate issue with the iphone 4) then it would be everywhere over ever tech blog.
Jjust reflash a different Rom
》》》Samsung Galaxy S3《《《
Been down as low as 2% before relenting and letting the poor thing power up. Rooted and on jr5.
Thanks for the feedback all, perhaps I'll try un-rooting it while at 100% battery and see if it fully discharges. Perhaps it's just sensitive about the battery capacity when it changes ROMs/Bootloader status.
My Nexus 7 is doing the same thing at 20%. What happened to yours?
Have you tried a factory reset? That's fixed similar problems on other devices.
Factory reset yes, but not at 100% charge.
Mine dies at/or around 30% - I'm stock+not rooted.
Factory reset it. It doesn't matter what the charge percentage is. I did it to mine and it's working fine
clear your batter stats in CWM, full charge, full discharge, full charge

I tried this and it didn't work for me. The only thing that did was a factory reset by flashing the stock image through the root manager tool.
A user named NeoMagus has received two units with this issue, but I haven't seen many people mention it otherwise.

I'm new to tablets but I returned a Fire with the same problem. I assume it's a freak battery thing and not something innate to this device.
Yup my first C6 and last C7 also had this problem. Charged/Decharged fine for about a week, then just started turning off at about 19-20%. The screen would also display in very small text "show low low battery logo". Re-flashing stock, wiping, calibrating by deleting batterystats.bin, nothing helped, always died at 20%. Just ended up exchanging both so don't know what to tell you guys, everyone else seems to be fine so my only conclusion is bunk battery

Flash back stock ROM, lock boot loader and see if it fix. At this point, you got back your warranty and can ask for replacement

I have the same issue on mine, which is stock/unrooted. I just did a factory reset and it's been okay so far, but it's a little early to tell if it really worked.
**UPDATE** - Doing a factory reset did not fix the issue. It died again after some more use. I'm going to return it to Google.
**UPDATE 2** - After connecting the device to the charger and powering it on again it reported 0% battery. I charged it back up to 100% and I've currently run it back down to 7%. I'm not sure how or why it's working now, but it does seem to be a problem with the software misreporting the remaining battery life.
Mine shut down at 9% last night. Not that bad but not ideal I think it should go to 2-4% or 'go down with the ship' at 0% like my phone does.
Oh well I'm going to get a replacement after my next trip due to audio and touchscreen issues, I've been putting it off in hopes that they iron it out but I can't wait much longer a dead left headphone and random zooming when I scroll is a drag.
Same here ,last week my N7 died at 15% battery
but now at 20% ..
no Low battery Logo show
Should i do Factory Reset ???
Hi all,
First post so go easy :angel:
I've had my N4 for about 18 months. Ever since 4.4.3 (now on 4.4.4 and nothings changed) I think I have been having some probelms.....I also dropped my phone around the time of the update so can't rule out a hardware problem, anyway....
On full charge the phone is, after a random amount of use perhaps around half battery, it drops signal completely....then it start goiing crazy, opening apps clicking on things (sometimes locks up) then shuts it's self off.
Once I turn it back on it says the battery is almost out.....even though before the crash it was at 50%???? (Please see imnage below for "cliff edge" on battery screen shot!)
I have tried safe mode, I have done a factory reset and removed all and any apps except facebook. Other symptoms include forgeting wifi and other account logins!
Also worth noteing I dropped it and smashed the screen, I then had it repaired and voided the warrenty (?) because I needed it same day for work.....dont know if thats connected was working fine for a while after this happened.
I have seen various posts of this forum and other about this kind of thing but no exact answers.....any help would be great 7 months until free new phone
Sudden drop is extreme right....
Re flash factory images for a full wipe, if it doesn't work after that then its probably hardware (sadly), maybe you could get a moto g? I've heard there really good and cheap.

Sounds like something went wrong during the repair or drop and that this is a hardware issue. As suggested, try flashing full stock, but I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem, unfortunately.

Thanks guys .....Ive been doing as much reading as pos.
Some people are saying reather than the drop its maybe just a failed battery? thoughts?
It could definitely be a possibility. If you are up to it, you could purchase a new battery and try to replace it, there is just the risk of damaging something further.

Same things happen to me. I thouhgt the battery is comming to end and orderd new one but I have read that people have some similar problems after updating from 4.4.2
On nexus 5 people also have problem with to fast battery drain. I have similar problems. I lose network, afterwards battery drop from 20-40% -> 0%

Same thing is happening to my wifes NEXUS 4. Hers is a little over a year old now. It was dropped and I replaced the screen a few months ago, but ever since the new updates, her phone has been going CRAZY!
The phone randomly loses signal, battery drains quickly and apps open close (ghost touches) and then it shuts down.
I've cleared the cache, reset to factory defaults and even run in safe mode and nothing. The phone is useless now, she maybe gets 2 hours of normal use out of it before it goes completely nuts again.
One of us should roll back to 4.2.2. and report the result

Facing similar issues. Have posted it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/fast-battery-discharge-t2799931/post53790262?nocache=1
Any solutions?
I am waiting for a new battery. Try rollback to 4.2.2.
ITs same on my phone after an 4.4.3 update teh N4 gone rogue before the update it was working just fine I just did factory reset got back to 4.2.1 android and its doing the same
Just to keep you up to speed...I suspect it may be the battery....or perhaps power management issue/conflict??
Trick is if I keep my battery charge above 60-65% it's fine......get below that and the trouble start.....weird. hvaing said that seems to drain faster than normal also. My hope are pinned on battery solution once Rajnus trys it.
Although not looking foward to taking phone apart to replace it
Today after the first symptom I rebooted phone and after reboot my battery was at 14%. It looks like to me that we have constant drain but system some how is not registering it properly. I will restart after every 10%
Edit: 85% ->reboot -> 57%

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one suffering from this issues as well. I replaced my screen and digitizer about 3 months ago and never had issues. Last week I updated from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 (and 4.4.4 shortly after) and started having the same issues where there would be ghost touches on the screen once I got to around 70% battery, loss of radio/signal, and when I would restart the phone, I would lose majority of the battery charge. I tried flashing stock back on the phone and the problem still is present.

Just to repeat that is exactly what is happening to me word for word.
Hi everyone,
I have an issue with my nexus that i'm looking for a little imput on. My nexus was doing fine when a number of things changed so i'm not sure what might be causing the issue. I bought a pogo charger and upgraded to 4.4.3. I had excellent battery life (used device all day and battery lasted all day) until 2 weeks after making those changes.
Suddenly, i started experiencing random crashes and reboots many times a day and about 10 days ago, the tablet won't stay on if not plugged in. sometimes the tablets screen will flicker and go off immediately after being unplugged, sometimes it'll go off after a few minutes. With the battery flunctuating between 0% charged or fully charged.
Since then i have called both google and samsung, who proved to be extremely useless not i'm out of warrantee. I've upgraded to 4.4.4, didn't work, flashed 4.4.3 and 4.4.2, and neither have worked.
So i'm thinking its a firmware issue and i'm just going to replace the battery. So my question is: Do you think this is an internal problem or just a bad battery and could it have been caused by the pogo charger?
I've been searching these forums for quite sometime and they've proved really helpful for tutorials on flashing stock images and such. Thank you so much (in advance) for your help!
Yea it most definitely could be a battery issue. If you the right tools you might want to pop off the back and take a look inside for any loose wires, bad connections etc.. I can relate to the battery issues but what you have going on is most likely a hardware problem.
I had excessive battery drain and freeze ups when I updated to 4.4.3. I've gone back to 4.4.2 and no issues, I did do a wipe when installing 4.4.2 but it was worth it for me.

Hello guys!
I have a problem with my note 4, and don't know what to do, so i ask you.
My phone is rebooting continuously after lets say 40% of battery, not all time same battery percentage.
It only boots normaly when i plug the charger in.
Tried any roms even original ones, and the problem persists.
Tried with a new battery, same problem.
Please help me.
Same issue here. Any charge in the battery after 6.0.1.
Do a factory reset. If that and a new known good battery doesn't fix it... well, I'm in about the same boat, so my Note 7 arrives tomorrow.

Yes. Factory reset works in many cases. It worked for me the first time my Note 4 went wonky. It didn't help this time, and I wanted to upgrade anyhow. I reinstalled everything before even really testing, as I had no patience to determine if some update was causing the issue.
Obviously, backup first.

I did so many factory resets and flashed so many roms. I did changed the battery with a new original one and have the same problem. Today i was at 60% and wanted to install facebook and the phone suddenly restarted. So, i pluged in the charger for it to work and surprise 4% battery. Any ideeas? Maybe the motherboard?

Indeed you are right.
I had reflashed with Odin and the problem continues.
Buying a new battery solved the problem.
Interesting enough, I have it since November 2014 and I am always careful to recharge before 15%, but these 21 months seems to be its life time limit.
On the side note, a 100% charge at noon dropped to 92% at 7pm with the new battery.

I had this same problem. However a new battery solved for me.
Even applications closure are gone with the new battery.
I had noticed the drop in the battery indicator too. Even in the offline charging. The battery was 100% and sometimes when plugged in it showed 67%, 40% and 0%.
I first though it was a calibration problem after marshmallow and was about to root it in order to try to hard fix it.
Notice that when the phone is off, the % charging indication has to be right with the battery (no droppings).
If it shows a big drop (from 100% to e.g. 67%), the new battery might not be good.
Same problem with my phone I change battery my problem solved

So here's my little situation, I wanted to just keep this phone stock and not root it for once since I do it for every phone I get. I've only had this thing for a week and I love it... Mostly.
Problem is I have ABYSMAL battery life, loosing 10%+ on "Phone Idle" "Android OS" and "Android System" which typically sucks up around 30% of my battery usage and my SOT can be as low as 60 minutes if I let my phone sit while I work for example. This seems to not be an isolated issue however I have yet to find anybody experiencing such a dramatic loss of battery.
So my questions are is there ANY way to fix this? Been looking all over and it seems to be a software issue thus creating more questions. Looked around and I can't seem to find a way to help this problem.
As far as I am aware there is ABSOLUTELY no way to downgrade my T-Mobile H91810s nor is it possible to root it.
Is this true or am I missing something? I just bought this thing brand new after my ZTE Axon 7 got stolen. ):
So my three main questions: Has anyone find a way to lower battery consumption from those three programs? Is there ANY way to rollback to a previous firmware? Or is it possible to root the H91810s firmware?
I would really appreciate any feedback or answerers from the XDA community. I love this forum and 95% of the time there's anyways a solution to my problems from the amazing people but I'm afraid this might be the other 5%. Anyway thank you again for any feedback!
Losing that much battery that quickly is in no way normal. I get between 3 to 4 hours sot and somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 hours of total life. That's normal usage. Most people here seem to get somewhere in that range or more, I don't try too hard to conserve battery. If you have already factory reset to no avail I would first pick up an extra battery. Shouldn't be any more than $20. This will confirm whether this is a battery issue or related to hardware/software on the phone. If that doesn't work you can grab the patched lgup (somewhere in the guides section) and the 10r h918 kdz. Since you are on arb 1, you can roll back to anything with the same arb version. 10r is arb 1 as well, so it should flash no problems. Put the phone in download mode, and click partition dl on the patched lgup gui. Select the 10r kdz and it will flash every single partition to the phone. This will be a brand new phone with factory fresh firmware/software. Do not attempt to flash anything lower than 10r as I have no idea when arb was implemented for the h918 (I believe it was after 10k). If the problem STILL persists after a kdz restore, then I would guess the unit is defective in someway. @runningnak3d any suggestions or corrections to what I have stated? You know a heck of a lot more when it comes to all things LG and v20
I have never had that kind of battery problem on the H910 or H918 no matter the firmware version. I agree with the suggestion of getting a new battery.
FYI - ARB 1 was implemented in 10p, so you can roll all the way back to 10p or anything in between.

Check the battery optimization and see which apps are unoptimized. If you are using the stock apps for messaging/calling then chances are you have bad network reception. I use airplane mode at home because I'm mostly in the dark area where reception is nill, otherwise my phone's battery in standby lasts less than 6hrs or loses 15-20% overnight. I don't know why the modem eats so much battery in the region of poor reception though. (I have Zuk Z2 as well but I never had to switch it to airplane mode at home and it kept on searching for network all the time without alarming battery usage).
Chances are that your replacement battery is faulty or counterfeit too. I have an LG Battery which was manufactured in January 8th 2018 and its working fine, gives me a full day use from morning till night and I remove the phone from charger before leaving for work. Also, make sure you're using a compatible charger. I have used both QC2.0 and QC3.0 chargers with my phone and its charging speed is the same. (ZUK Z2 comes with QC2.0 charger while I have Leeco's QC3.0 charger too, LG's is QC2.0). Try using a non-QC charger as well which will charger ur battery slow but maybe repairs the memory-effect-like problems with your battery.

Several things you can try. Depends how long and hard you are willing to keep at it.
For starters when you boot into recovery, do you see an option to wipe cache ? if so wipe, reboot back and see whether it fixes anything
I've had this happen to a couple tablets. You may need to reset the battery logic.
Turn off the phone.
Pull the battery.
Press and hold the power button for one full minute.
Let the phone sit for 10 minutes without the battery in it.
Put the battery back in and boot up.
I hope this works for you.

A feature called Battery Stats, which keeps track of battery capacity, when it is full or empty. The problem is that it sometimes becomes corrupted and starts displaying data that isn’t real. This is an attempt to get the OS to correct this information.

here we are ten days later and the OP has yet to show. I suppose this problem must not be a problem anymore ?

The same is happening with my LG V20 H918. When I charge it using a fast charger (I have a Motorola G5 Plus), it shows me fast-charging and simply shows 100% within 10-15 minutes. That means it is wrong information.
So I tested by using my V20 until it got discharged and turned off automatically, and then charged it completely for several hours. What happened next, its battery worked for full 2 days.

My guess would be something related to rctd...ccmd doesn't seem to hurt nothing and from what I read...(a little)..ccmd is a security fuse or exploit..that kicks in the lock-out timer for password...or criminals as us..:silly:..but I found the Triton file inside the in it.rc inside the kernel and turned it off.. And changed the way it wrote|write..to the system per se..

Could be a bad battery. I bought a battery and for some reason it won't let the processor go offline. With 2 of the batteries the phone sleeps just fine, but with the third battery I get horrible battery life and it shows Android system and phone idol eating up battery life and also 3c toolbox shows that the processor is not going offline. Kind of strange, but could just be a bad battery. You can get a new one on eBay for $9 and free shipping! The last one I got is great!

I bought a used Sprint v20 in "VG" condition. The phone looks really clean. But the phone is getting very hot with light browser use in a short time, and drains very quickly. I didn't install any facebook or anything but it may come with Sprint. Anyhow the battery issue is pretty bad so far. However I decided to turn off the location and that seems like it may be part of the problem. However not terribly happy that the GPS eats the battery and causes heat issues, but what can I do. Also noticed someone else with problems mentioned the verizon model. I wonder if the Sprint and Verizon versions have issues. :/ Also my battery was manufactured in 2017/02 and is official. I could replace it but with the heat and GPS issues, it seems like the problem is likely hardware / software related and not the battery itself.

You should be able to root as I was on 10s and was able to root using lafsploit : https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/root-lafsploit-h918-version-t3773443
Just make sure to rollback to 10p using LGUP, and getting the right .dll file.
P.S : When you use LGUP choose the 'Upgrade' option and not 'downgrade'
