I have a rooted Galaxy S5 with crdroid installed (Oreo 8.1). This morning, when I was trying to log in to facebook messenger, my phone battery went from 15% to 0% in a matter of like 30 seconds. It was kind of strange though. Instead of going black, it went to the boot screen. I plugged my phone in, and when it came back on, I was at 1% and had no service. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, but it still did not have any service. I restarted it multiple times, and then reinstalled crdroid with TWRP, and I still get no service. Could this be a hardware related issue caused by letting my battery die? I have also removed and reinserted the sim.

It kind of sounds like it. Has your phone been getting hot lately? I burned out my modem in the past from over heating. How long have you had that battery?

I realized today that I hadn't had a random reboot in a while. From day 1 I could count on 1-2 random rebooted with my Atrix.
Sure enough, my uptime is 280hrs+, which is in line with when I took the OTA update. My wife's phone appears to be the same, and it was rebooting at a similar rate to mine before the update.
Both are rooted/non market enabled but not modded.
How's your stability been on 4.1.83?

I had one strange reboot this morning, my phone had been lagging up a lot, along with the screen not turning on when I pressed the sleep button.
I look down a minute later and I see the Motorola logo. But afterwards it seemed just dandy.
Random reboots
I just bought this phone Friday at 7:45pm. It was working fine when I got home Friday night after purchasing it. I hooked it up to my pc and got the needed updates to 4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US. Saturday morning I installed one game bejeweled and advance task manager before heading out to work.
I got back home around 1:30pm and started setting up my contacts on the phone. Around 6:00pm I left the phone plugged into my pc and heard the phone rebooting from the other room. At first I thought maybe there was an update and that's why it was rebooting.
Two hours later it did the same thing again with no warning about a reboot when I was manually adding new contacts. I notice there was another update available to version 4.1.83 which I now have installed on the phone and it's still rebooting on its own.
I also noticed that my battery was right at 60% and while plugged up to my pc it was only recharging 10% every hour on the hour not sure if that's normal for this phone.
(Two hours later battery power at 90% with a solid green power light visible but taking forever to reach 100%)
Also right after the 4.1.83 update the phone would reboot and then the battery light on the phone would just randomly flash red with the motorola logo sitting on the screen. I had to pop the battery out, waited for about 30's before putting the battery back in and powering it back up and it still sat on the logo screen with the red flashing light.
(The battery is now at 100% but 3mins after unplugging it from the pc it displays 90% again all I've did is watch it reboot on its own.)
I removed the battery again but waited for about 5mins before powering it up and this time it actually booted up like normal and about 30mins later another reboot.
I also noticed that as soon as I finish watching a video with youtube the phone reboots a few seconds after the screen goes to sleep. Now as I am writing this comment I decided to uninstall that advance task manager program and do a reboot. The phone is at 80% and after I watch about three videos with youtube the phone didn't reboot.
I have no idea what's up with this phone and I really like it alot except for this mysterious rebooting not to mention other people experiencing random reboots. I read online where a lot of people where saying it was due to a bad battery and that they got a new battery from Att and the problem went away.
I am really thinking about turning this one in for a new replacement but some people are saying even after doing that they still kept having the problems.
Could this really be something wrong with the updates that is causing issues with the phone or is it just a bunch of bad batteries?
Battery?
Back again, in the post I made earlier I mentioned how the phone wouldn't randomly reboot when the battery was around 80% well the battery charged to 90% and the random rebooting has started up again and it has rebooted 3 times back to back now that it is at 90%.......I think I am going back to the Att store when they open today and try getting a new battery............

If I were you I would get a replacement phone. I did have one random reboot since updating to 4.1.83 and that was the first ever I've noticed with my phone. Otherwise I haven't noticed any issues. As for charging via a pc I did hear that was slow. I charge via power outlet or using a car adapter and both are fairly quick. Good luck.
Battery?
I decided to do a factory reset on the phone first and the funny thing is after the reset, the phone still showed that it had the latest update installed even though I still had to go through the setup process just like when I first purchased the phone. So far it appears to be working and hasn't rebooted on me yet. No rebooting after playing Youtube videos either. The only small pet peeve I have at the moment is the Facebook & MySpace contact photos will not show up for some unknown reason in the contacts sections, they're just empty picture frames. The contact photos that do show up are the ones from my google gmail account and I manually added those online myself so those automatically transfer when my phone syncs with the gmail account.
And the MySpace widget doesn't show a photo as well but the info in the widget is current. That's way better than experiencing random rebooting when you really need your phone the most.

This is normal. A FR cleans all of the user data reseting it back to a "clean" version of the flashed rom.
I can say that I have also not had any reboots since .83 but it is also the first time i have loaded gingerblur.
Hi
I have recently started having a problem with what I presume to be the battery of my Nexus 4. It seems to have started suddenly about a week ago, though was working absolutely fine before. I don't think it was due to any specific app having been installed. I have also done a factory reset on it, but that didn't solve the problem.
Basically, the battery will discharge to about 75%. The phone will then suddenly switch off; turning the phone back on, it simply shows the battery to be fully depleted and switches off. If I plug it into a power source, the phone turns back on and begins charging, from 0%, though seems to suddenly fully charge it within about half an hour.
My phone has not been rooted.
I would really appreciate any help/advice on this issue as it is incredibly frustrating having to have my phone almost permanently on charge.
I have attached two screenshots of the battery usage graph.
Thanks!

If you are on stock, try flashing the stock image(4.2 or 4.3 up to you) there's plenty of threads on here thatll guide you thro the process.
I've had the same issue about three times, during the first week of using my Nexus 4 (about half a year ago). I've already had my mind made up to RMA it, but waited for it's shut-off to happen once more to collect some evidence of this problem and... it never happened again. I'm pretty confident that I didn't install anything that might have helped (I only installed BetterBatteryStats to check the instant drain, but really doubt it could change anything, it's just statistics), and I've never factory wiped the phone's data yet.
I've been searching for answers around the internet back in May, but never found anything of value, so my only advice is... wait a little, and if it doesn't get better itself return it to the merchant. My previous HTC phone was restarting almost everyday from the first day I bought it, until a month later I returned it for warranty repairs and after they changed almost all internals of the phone it never crashed again (till today, since I still use it as GPS and media player when running).
Hello,
I am using a standard Galaxy S8 Dual SIM device, with no custom ROM etc.
Yesterday, whilst flying I noticed he battery to be draining quickly. Today, it "dropped" from 60% to 2% within minutes, I then restarted the device and it went back to 40%. In the last ten minutes it has dropped to 33%.
Obviously this isn't normal; does anyone have any ideas on the issue?
May b you should go to service center nd check with them
Hi.
Yesterday I was using my Nubia z17s as always and before going to bed I decided to charge it, since battery was at around 20%.
When I connected the charger, the screen went off and it didn't wake up, no matter what I did, although I could feel the fingerprint scanner vibration when I used any of the registered fingers. So I decided to hard reboot the phone by keeping the power button pressed.
To my surprise, when the phone booted again, the battery percentage showed 3%. I left it charging overnight and now it's working but the battery percentage is stuck on 3%. I'm pretty sure it's more than that, since I've been using the phone for more than 6 hours and the battery percentage hasn't dropped a bit, and the phone is working (I've made an received a few calls).
A guy at work suggested letting the battery drain completely until the point the phone shuts itself down, and then charging the phone up to 100% while off, so the battery is calibrated and the percentage is fixed. But I've always heard that it's not a good idea to let a battery drain so much. Another problem is that I fear not being able to charge the phone again once the battery gets below 3%.
Any ideas? The phone is running latest Mokee 9 Premium.
Thanks in advance.
Remove "batterystats.bin" in the System folder

I had already tried that. But deleting that file just resets the battery usage statistics. It has nothing to do with the battery percentage
It seems to me that you will have to make a full data backup and perform a factory reset.
ps and which firmware in use?
Hi, I forgot replying.
I finally got the phone up and running again, and the issue seemed to be firmware related.
I was running the phone on Android Pie based Mokee ROM. I finally let the phone discharge until it shut down and charged it while off. Battery got up to 100% and the phone seemed to work fine. But, a few weeks later, something similar happened again, so I reverted to the stock firmware (still stuck at Android 7.1.1) and the battery issues went away.
I recently tested the Android 10 based Mokee and found that it reports battery level very differently than the stock firmware. Before flashing TWRP and the Mokee ROM, the phone was showing 88% battery left. Just after booting Mokee, the phone had apperently dropped to 78% and I also felt quite a huge battery drain. And it had only taken me around 5 minutes to install the recovery and firmware. So I guess the Mokee firmware doesn't handle the battery very well on Nubia z17s. It's a pity, since all the rest works very well, and I quite liked the Android 10 experience. On the other side, I was unable to make Magisk work under Android 10, and Google Pay is a must for me now, so I once again went back to stock firmware.
Hey y'all. I got a teeny problem with my phone now.
A week ago i flashed LineageOS 16 to my phone. Downloaded some essential Foss apps and mods from Magisk. Everything was going fine.
The thing is, my battery is acting up.
My phone has a 5000MHz capacity and yesterday it had 68% of charge. I switched my phone off before going to sleep and now when i power it on again it shows 8%. This is the second time my battery's being drained after shutdown.
