Hey I was wondering if anyone running any GB ROMs experience huge battery level drops when/if they experience a random reboot or reboot manually (sometimes). My battery will appear to be doing great until the phone is rebooted and then the indicator drops to the bottom...the interesting part is the indicator will always boot to the same level (30%) no matter what level I was at b4 the reboot. I've experience this with both hurricane and stockyish ROMs. I tried resetting battery stats and that ddnt help...

That is a bug in CWM and battery level reporting. You can get your battery level back by either rebooting with a charger on or pull the battery out for 5 minutes and reboot.
Worked! Thanks!
i didnt think that it was a CWM problem... b/c i have noticed that since when i first got my epic on release day..
same thing just happened to me but im still on SFR Froyo so i dont think its a GB Rom, but i did the put the charger in and rebooted.... worked great thanks!
Glad I could help. Didn't realize some people saw this on stock. So it may be a reporting issue or momentary voltage drop. Either way at least we can work around it.

Hi,
on Sunday I installed Lollipop using the factory image and ADB (so everything is clean).
I came from Kit Kat 4.4.2 stock with semaphore manager (don't know if it is important).
The battery drain with 3G is pretty huge, but I think it's normal with a new firmware. The real problem is with charging time: when I plug my phone to the charger (original LG charger I used with Kit Kat) it says it will take 9 hours to recharge, than after few minutes it reduces the valuation (8 hours and than 7 hours). Than it says 6 hours and remains with that value.
And it actually takes A LOT to fully recharge....but it's not only a matter of 100% recharge, also to get for example from 30% to 40% it takes a lot of time.
Searching on the forum nobody has this problem and I am pretty sure it's a software fault (even if I thought it couldn't be possible) not the charger. How can I resolve this issue? Do you think a factory reset could be enough? Do I have to re-install everything again?
Thank you all and sorry for my english, it's not my native language.
Hallo
Have exactly the same issue.. I updated from 4.4.4 via lollipop ota image using sideload
Same long time as you, im also pretty sure it is software issue.
I have tried to wipe the cache with no improovement
Did you dolve?
running 5.0 since the day they released the factory image
experiencing battery life is slightly increased ..getting ~4hrs SOT with wifi continuously on 5.0 as compared to ~3hrs on 4.4..display is pretty much on the dim side though..
haven't noticed any increase in charging time
so might be an odd bug...
check ur battery settings-does it say charging with AC or USB??
as it takes a lot of time on USB..
had this problem once on 4.4 as it wasnt detecting the wall charger as AC but as USB..
reboot n see whether it solves the problem,or as last option u might need to do factory reset
hit thanks if this helped u

Thanks for the advice. Just checked and it sees my charger as AC.
Has the factory reset on lollipop firmware the same effect as installing the factory image (of lollipop of course) with ADB?

remember,factory reset will simply bring u back to the basic factory image which u have sideloaded,will take care of any temp software issues that have developed during the course of your phone's functioning.
factory reset is simply a last resort of checking out that option
however it will not solve the problem if it is caused by a bug in the factory image itself...
as the lrx21t is just the first build ,it might be containing this bug..
u can wait for MR1 if u dont want to go down that lane...
i am not responsible if u brick ur phone while sideloading/rooting..its ur decision

thanks for your reply.. I've checked and also my N4 recognize the AC wall charger. it gives me an average recharging time of 3 minutes / 1% battery. That means 300 minutes (5 hours ) for a full recharge..
does it sound reasonable for you?
I don't think you're the only one with this issue, other sites and fora are reporting similar stuff. I actually don't know if i have the same issue, i haven't been paying real attention at the charge time but it could be longer then it was. I also flashed the factory 5.0 image and had the phone on my dock while installing and discovering L for the first time. The battery level decreased while charging on my USB dock have been using the same dock with same usb cable on the same computer for a very long time, this was a first with L.

nope,it's longer than it should be..
mine takes ~3-3.5 hrs for full charge from 0-100%,including trickle charge,giving a ratio of 1%/2mins(lol, had never calculated on those terms) even with intermittent usage and wifi on during that period.
if its affecting multiple users,must be a bug...'dont worry,MR1 should sort out such major issues..
n from what i've heard,nexus 5 seems more badly bug-ridden than nexus 4.. so hold on,this is just the 1st part of the series,sequels expected soon (considerring the no of bugs which are surfacing)
till that time,if its a major issue,go back to 4.4.4
update on the MR1 when it comes out..

Apart for this issue (that i can live with) My nexus 4 is behaving quite well with no other blocking bugs ... It seems to me a little slower than 4.4.4 but i like lollipop so i think i will stay with it
Thanks

Thank you all. I'll wait for the fix from Google... Hoping it will arrive [emoji16]

Factory Reset solved my problem.. now with the AC I have full recharge time of about 2 hours and half
many thanks
Today I recharged my phone from 32% to 87% in 2h and some minutes (don't know exactly how many). Anyway I didn't do anything different.
Maybe was a calibration issue or something.

I have been experiencing agonizing slow charges with v5. Did a clean install. I did notice that my battery info page states that it is charging via USB, whilst I am charging with AC. I never noticed that before on KitKat (maybe it was not shown). While my WiFi is on and I am charging, ouch, it takes forever, anc at one time I thought it was even going backwards. I guess that there is some type of charging throttling going on and my N4 never had any problems with charging with any of the V4 up to KitKat.

if u r sure u have had this problem from kitkat only then give it a shot n flash the factory image of jellybean,or flash some custom rom,should sort out any rom issues
if u dont want to do that,then wipe cache and flash/sideload your image(4.4.4/5.0)
or try a factory reset ,works sometimes
if its a software issue,then wiping your phone clean should solve it,atleast on 4.4.2/3,acc to ur past experience..
if its a circuit charge route issue,then its a hardware issue..

I've been having strange fluctuations in the battery which I noticed and I was assuming it was some of wake locks or alarms causing this drain.
I also noticed the battery getting heated during charging.
The weirdest issue I faced is that every first boot after full barge reduces to -10%later reboots meet them intact I noticed this on stock rom and custom rom also, Also while charging I saw that from 93%to 100 %jump was just in few min which is totally ubnormal.
Tough my fast charging was turned off.
Hopefully it's just a battery issue I can't live without this device after giving it for service.
Is anybody else having these issue ??
I think its a software issue did you try doing a factory reset ? Disable all the useless apps? Remove the battery once in awhile? Jumps from 93-94%to 100 is not uncommon

I guess this has been fixed by resetting the battery gauge after full charge to 100% I had to pull the battery wait for about 3mins and put it back after this reset procedure looks like the last 2 charge cycles dint have those random drops after reboots, but I've the battery drains I need to figure out what problem is I get a maz of 4hsot.

Hey bro, flash stock rom via odin, perform factory reset with stock kernel(this will wipe internal sd card too) , remove the extsdcard & use it for a couple hours
i had the same issue & above did the trick

@Pratik Thanks your suggestion, I already Did this, Flashed Stock was on Stock for some time approx1day could not bear it flashed our Rom all is good so far needs a bit or battery tweaking.my app usage always is 60%> so it may take a while for me to understand on how this can be fixed.
hello everyone,
my nexus 4 notified me of the 5.5.1 update and took it but i noticed after the update my battery seems to be draining faster than before. if i have a full battery and leave it unplugged all night it will be completely dead the next day. is anyone else experiencing this? i am about to factory reset to see id it clears up the issue. if that doesn't work would i be able to go back to 5.1 without rooting?
thanks

I had the exact same issue; yes, you're going to have to do a factory reset, that's what fixed it for me. It's generally a good idea after an upgrade of any kind, even a small one like this, to do a factory reset to avoid any potential issues.
I have a problem with charging, my device charging 5 hours!!! from 1% to 100% on charger from HTC One M8(1,5A) I installed stock factory image 5.1.1 used flash-all.bat but problem stayed ... Please help me, i don't know what my phone doing -,-

It takes a couple hours to charge in general. If it wasn't doing that before, try a different charger, to see if that fixes the problem.
yea i have tried many cables and some just charge the phone slower than others. i find really short cables will charge the phone quicker too. anyway it seems a factory reset cleared up my battery issues so thank you for the help
So it seems like the last couple ATT updates have had a negative affect on the battery. After the July update I was losing almost 3%/hour overnight. I was able to fix it by wiping the cache partition.
After the August update it is doing the same thing and clearing the cache partition is not helping. I can stare at my phone just sitting on my desk and literally watch the battery drain, AND to make it worse it seems to have charging issues now. I had it on my wireless charger and the phone said it was fasting charging wirelessly yet it actually lost battery percentage and I wasn't using it for anything (also oddly it didn't have the normal ETA until fully charged message).
Is anyone else having these issues? Also, is there a good place to report these issues to Samsung and/or ATT to make them aware of it so they can fix with the next update?
