Hi guys
so i smashed my phone the over day the screen cracked. I took it to the phone shop in town for a replacement screen, he fixed that the phone was working fine. later that night i went to charge the phone and it said battery temperature was to low. i took the phone back he said it was because the motherboard was bent and when i look the top part of the phone is bent by about 0.2cm barely noticeable. he said he changed the charge port and it didnt fix it. Do i buy a replacement one and try it myself i did this before to fix charging issues. Or is their another fix. i went into samsung shop and they said to do it they would have to replace my allready fixed screen and stuff to make it legitimate samsung stuff before touching which is just not worth it. i spent 120 pound to get the screen fixed and only way to charge phone is by using a external battery charger to charge battery out of phone.
Bump has anyone had this before.
Well I think there is nothing more you can do. The problem in these cases is that the motherboard, when bent, it cannot be repaired anymore.
I worked for a few years as a service technician in a few Repair Centers and we usually didn't offer any kind of warranty when the phone has suffered extensive physical damage.
In many cases we simply refused to even service the phone because in the time it took to just find the cause of the problem, we could have repaired another phone that had better chances of success.

I've been doing tons of research on this whole battery draining issue on the 6p. I cant seem to find a simple solution around this tired issue that plenty of people seem to be having. My battery has about 3 Hrs of screen on time before it dies. I've tried shutting down all kinds of connection settings, clearing the cache and even factory reseting my phone. I just recently tired the android O beta and that didn't help either. All I want is to figure out if my battery needs to be replaced or is it the software that's killing my battery. I've even called google and they cant help, Huawei wants to charge me $165 for a replacement battery and thats way too much. Has anybody found a fix that doesn't involve rooting the phone?

It is NOT the software. There is no fix for a badly degraded battery. Replace your battery. Buy the battery online and then shop around for a local shop to install it if you're not able to.

Are you dying at 60% or lower? Does it happen when you open the camera? Does the phone shut off when a random loud sound plays or something of sorts? I ask cause that is what is happening to me. Random reboots? I don't think that is "battery" related per-say.
Have you tried installing a battery stats app that can help narrow down the culprit?
More details would probably help others help you.
Does it fully charge?
How long does the battery last, not just screen on time?
3 hours SOT doesn't sound terrible. I've heard worse.
How old is the phone?
Had the same problem...I bought a new original battery from ebay and replaced the old battery by myself. To be honest, there was not much improvement...now with a medium usage (whatsapp, wifi or 4g always on, some clash of clans/clash royale gaming) I get 3hrs30min SOT at the late evening, never more. And also I'm on francokernel so I should easily get 4hrs but nothing.
Anyway, unless you are an expert, I don't recommend you to replace the battery for yourself because, sadly, the N6P is a phone impossible to open up without damaging it especially the rear glass...surprisingly, on my case it didn't break but it's all scratched and I should buy a new one.
Furthermore, now my battery doesn't charge anymore up to 100%...it's stuck at 93% and only if i unplug and plug again the phone it gets to 98%...to get 100% i have to plug and unplg it several times and wait something like 30min to get from 98% to 100%. I don't know what caused this problem but it looks like there's no solution...software and hardware battery calibration didn't do anything. Maybe the battery I bought was faulty...
In conclusion, buy the new battery but ask someone expert to replace it if you aren't.

The first replacement battery I tried acted like that and it was quite frustrating. It wouldn't charge to 100% and had about the capacity of my degraded OEM battery. I ended up ordering this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3-82V-3...wei-Google-Nexus-6P-H1511-H1512-/351786248092 It charges to 100% and has like new capacity, but no internal battery temperature sensor. I installed it in January and have been happy with it. Others have opted for the Cameron Sino brand replacement. more expensive but with working battery temperature sensor.
You can order a replacement back cover with glass and bottom strip for around $25 if you're worrried about scratches. That's under $40 for new battery, aluminum back, camera glass, and bottom strip.

I think I'll go for the Cameron Sino battery...a little more expensive, yes, but more reliable...I've also heard of people complaining that after 2 months their batteries (ordered from ebay, false OEM) died...
So, is that the answer to our fast draining battery issues? To get a replacement battery? The Cameron Sino?

Yes.
Unless it came from the play store where you can RMA it and let Google have the problem.
But if Google replaces it, it may have the same issues, right?
It could I guess if the battery in the replacement device is a dud. Just got my replacement and the battery is showing 106% capacity compared to 30% capacity on the old one. Back to how it was when I first got it so happy with that service seeing as it was nearly 2 years old.
If the new one does not have a full capacity, then just reject it before you swap over to it and get Google to send out another.

How are you checking the capacity?
Accubattery is one way. Do a couple of decent charges with the screen off and then look at the health report.
Same, I tried several things, clearing the Cache, factory reset and nothing works. My Nexus 6P randomly shuts down between 80% to 90% and doesn't turn on umless I connect it to the charger.
As the title says, Phone won't turn on. There are no led lights at all. It does get warm after being plugged in for a little. I had jrkruse's hybrid_bra1 stock safetynet samsungpay...... rom on it. It was rooted. Very minimal processes running. I actually had basically everything stopped and greenify on. Phone was around 40% battery. I plugged it into charger, took my dog outside, showered real fast, washed a few dishes, then came back in to room within 15 minutes to my phone being dead and hot. It's never got this hot before even while rooted and plugged in with this rom on it. I have never had it get that hot. Was just formatted the day before and really bare but, that is what happened.
A couple battery apps I had put the batteries remaining life capacity at around 60%. It held a charge poorly. Even for 60% capacity it felt weak, considering how little I did on it lately. I am thinking the battery may have took a crap but unsure because it warms up when it is plugged in. I plan on getting a battery soon since they are inexpensive and replace it to try it out.
Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with this and can offer any advice.
Thank you in advance.
(I looked for a min or two for similar posts but didn't find much. Will gladly take down if someone can point me the way)
You say your battery was already outworn, It may have died. I think you should try with a new battery, Or take it to a technician who can test the phone's hardware to see if there is anything else broken
i've only had one similar case with an s3, which would turn of at random % of battery. But when plugged turned on. I replaced the battery and it worked fine then

I really do hope that is what's wrong. I just ordered a battery. Thanks for the reply. I also got some little tools and battery door adhesive sticker. Wish me luck!
funny story....
The mic in my Nubia Red Magic broke and I sent that back to hong kong for repairs like 20 days ago. Before the Red Magic, I used this galaxy s7 edge my friend gave me. I gave it back when I got the Red Magic and told him to sell it or something. Not much later, decided to buy it back off of him for $200 to give to my mother. She loved it. I had the gs7 edge with me exploring prepaid provider options for my mom when the Red Magic mic broke. So then I decided to borrow the edge from her till my phone got back and few days later I break this one too..
I feel naked without a phone for so long haha

I have the same rom, with charging issues. I don't think its the rom causing it. The s7e are getting old and the batteries are taking a toll with the age. My phone will charge up to 81 at night and stay there. I get better results with wireless charging so i just top my phone off during the day with my wireless charger. There is a code to reset the battery's internal memory, if i find the link on how to do it I will post here for you.

Thanks for reply and alright let me know if you find out. My phone had no problem charging to 100% Its just the 100% on the status bar wasnt 100% of the 3600 capacity from wear. My friend's also does the same thing as yours except his he cant charge more than like 24% haha. He just uses it as a plugged in music player in car.... I am getting battery in the mail tomorrow and will see what I can do.

A little late, sorry. lol.
Thanks for suggestion, however, I may have worded my statement incorrectly. I meant to say that My phone would charge to 100% and the status bar displayed it as 100% but, the health and total capacity of the battery in mah was not the maximum 3600 or so due to simple wear and tare. It isn't apparent within any stock android feature however, battery monitoring apps like accubattery gather statistics after several charging sessions and estimate the current mah capacity. Mine was much lower than the default oem stated value of 3600. So my battery could be charged 100% but the 100% is really only 2400 mah lol. It was obvious either way by noticing that after my time using it and the previous owner's bad charging over night habits, that the battery was gradually needing charged more often lol..
I did read about the calibration method before when I was first looking into the battery issues. It seems it is more often done after a new battery is installed.
I screwed up a new battery install at the last second. I had to stop due the tiniest little round metal piece coming off from a very light swipe of my plastic spudger.
It was a very small wire connector piece. Unbelievably irritating. I didn't even finish because I doubt it would work properly. I beleive it is for the rf cable or something not sure. The red one on the left bottom side of the logicboard/motherboard whatever. There are three of them.
I took it apart and put it together a couple times prior to this and in a hurry it popped off and I couldnt find it. I couldnt find out the exact part name online so I could buy one and solder it back on. I did find a site/ supplier that has a plethora of them though. They are tiny coaxial connectors/pins. I didn't look through them all but there are 6,000 some listed under coaxial connectors (RF). https://www.digikey.com/products/en/connectors-interconnects/coaxial-connectors-rf/437?k=coaxial pin
I haven't gotten around to asking samsung or the digikeys support if they could help me find out which it is. They have different sizes and frequency ratings or speeds and such. The phone is packed away until I manage to figure out which pin to buy or if I pull 80$ or so out of my behind and buy a whole new motherboard logic board haha.
I own an OnePlus 5 that I have used for a couple of months with stock OOS and locked bootloader and unrooted. I have always used an original dash charger and cable. However, few days ago the phone became unresponsive to the charger and after the battery died. When I reconnect the charger now, it gives a message that device temperature too low, can not charge and when I turn it on the battery shows 50% charge when I remove the charger it turns off after a short while. The phone didn't suffer any drop or water damage or any other kind of accident. The phone is not under warranty so, I need to find a way to charge the phone. I have searched for the problem on many forums and some point out to a faulty temperature sensor on the battery and others point to the daughter charging board while some say there's an issue with the motherboard. Is there anyone who could troubleshoot the problem precisely.
Or, Is there a way, to flash a custom kernel which could turn off the temperature sensor on the battery, if it's there.
Also, needed to know that will the problem go away after a battery replacement?
I have wiped cache and data, downgraded the phone from Pie to Oreo and nothing seemed to work. Some people suggested putting it to rest for 24 hours, I also did that, but to no avail.
seems like the thermistor in the battery died ,i suggest to swap the battery with a new one

Are you sure that the temperature sensor is located on the battery or inside the battery? Because, if I buy a new battery that would mean I can not get it replaced if the issue is not with the battery.
I have to order it online as the battery is not available in the local market.

Sorry for being overly cautious about the issue. I have searched some forums where people couldn't get the issue resolved even after changing the battery.
Still, I am thankful regarding your input and replies.
But is there, a custom kernel available where the battery sensor could be bypassed for the cell to charge?
Before buying anything or opening the phone yourself contact OnePlus. If the phone is under warranty probably they will take care of it. (even if, many times, the battery doesn't have the same warranty as the rest of the phone)

i haven't faced this issue on the op5 ,but in the past i have faced it in other phones (not charging with battery is too cold message)either way a replacement is pretty cheap i would go for it ..(i don't think it's a good idea trying to dissable it ,the same sensor is responsible for the current that the battery is receiving so i don't think you can dissable it at all because the phone will not know at what amps to charge the battery,i bet it won't charge or extremely it will become galaxy note 7 bomb :silly: )

Dear the problem is that the phone is not covered under any warranty. I purchased it locally from a shop that doesn't provide warranty for any phone. I live in Pakistan, I tried contacting OnePlus but seems like they don't have any official stores in Pakistan. I guess, there's a service centre with whom they have partnership for services.
I guess, I have to contact them.

Hi, just curious about the update on this one? I've also encountered the same issue on my OP5 and still waiting for the battery replacement I ordered hoping that it is a faulty battery.
I didn't have the low temperature issue but my charging port did start to fail so I replaced it and the battery last month. The hardest part is getting the back off. The screen snaps in much tighter than most phones I've worked on which were glued shut.
I got my parts from E-Trade supply but I never will again. The charging port I got for an iPhone 6 I'm repairing was defective and they would only credit the part and not the $22 in shipping I paid them. They eventually did, but only because I bought several items over the past few years and I started putting up bad reviews on them. Never again.
The parts for the OnePlus 5 were okay although the brand new battery is only at 91% health. The original 16 month old one was 83% still a gain.
Hey brother, did the battery replacement fix the issue?? I have been having the same problem since today morning.
[Update] Was able to bring my OP5 to a local tech who is trusted to fix OnePlus devices but unfortunately the problem on my phone is with the motherboard. Tech already tried replacing the battery as well as the charging port to no avail, so I may have to stick with my OnePlus 5 permanently connected to a power source while I wait for the upgrade(OnePlus 7) to be released.
The same thing with me, I trying now to fix this, but... I can,t
Mobo issue
After almost a month with the local tech, he was able to order a spare part for the issue with my OP5 motherboard. Fingers crossed hoping that it will be fixed within this week, it already cost me $100 :crying: I'll update on which part needs to be replaced if the issue is with the motherboard itself.

[UPDATE] A Battery replacement by OnePlus solved my problem. It also fixed certain other issues I was having like 3hr SOT, random shutdowns before reaching 0% etc. Cost me ₹1600 (around $22.5)

Good luck. I hope your issue gets fixed soon
Man I paid about the same for the battery and replaced it myself. But at least I didn't have to send it away. Unfortunately my only other phone (HTC one M8) doesn't work on my carrier.
[Update] My OP5's alive and kicking again. It cost me $40 for the board to be fixed, $60 for the front glass replacement.
Here's the pic of what was replaced on the motherboard
Sad to hear this is still going on with OnePlus phones. I had this problem with my 3T. Replaced everything, except the motherboard. I'm figuring it's that, but at this point I don't care. A replacement is anywhere from $80 to $150. You could buy a new 3T outright for that price.
Hello all,
this is a rather strange thing that recently happened: my dad's galaxy S7 edge which has been working completely flawless the last few years recently decided to just turn it self off. He handed it to me saying it was working fine last night and trying to use it next day absolutely nothing happens anymore.
I tried to charge via USB with Samsung charger, wireless charger from Anker in case the USB port is defective, and different key combos to restart etc. On PC nothing is detected either..
Could a faulty USB charger have killed the device? When plugging it in, there is absolutely no sign of life - you can hear a faint "buzzing" but no indicator lights etc..
Does anyone have any tips? It would be really appreciated!
Battery or port pcb failure. Maybe both.
Replace battery as it's long overdue.
Once an Li reaches 80% of its original capacity it's reached the end of its usable lifespan.
It's degraded at that point. Degraded Li's are more likely to fail. Any swelling is a failure; replace immediately if observed.
Replace battery and go from there...
Thanks @blackhawk for the tips and insight - I will try to replace the battery!

On a heavily used device the battery lifespan is typically 1-3 years.
I plan to replace my N10+ device's battery about every year, routine maintenance.
A failed Li can do a lot of damage. It rests on the display... which is somewhat fragile.
Get a new rear cover seal when replacing the battery so it retains its water resistance. On AMOLED (NOT LCD displays!!!) displays anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used to help loosen the double sides tape on the rear cover and battery if you do it yourself.
Controlled heat is used to help loosen the rear cover on most of these phones. Many shops will replace the battery for a low price as well.
Pretty amazing stuff right here. My S7 Edge did the exact same thing last night.
Think Samsung hit the kill switch.
I'm writing this message from my dad's s7 edge which has kinda the same problem but it's still usable. It shuts down suddenly (even with battery full 100%) and the only way to turn it on is plugging it to the charger, otherwise no sign of life.

I believe, most of this case was caused by power IC, my s7 edge was suddenly died last night too. You can see on this thread and tutorial.

Yeah, i want to try this too, but i think it cost too much money, not worth for me. And also i dont trust to much for 3rd party repair on here except samsung service center.
But u can give it a try. Hope it works.
