[Q] Battery drains very quickily, charges very slowly - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nook is suddenly taking about 12+ hours to charge, with the OEM cable and plug. I couldn't get it to charge at all at first. I did finally get it fully charged, and it instantly jumped from 78% battery power to 30%. I had tried to clear the battery thing in recovery mode, which might have made things worse.
It doesn't appear to be going into sleep mode, either, as after the 30% jump, I turned off the screen, and the next morning, it was completely drained. Am I looking at a dying battery?
Using one of the latest CM7 nightlies. The problems started after a few weeks of it working fine with the new ROM.

How old is your nook and is it one of the version 1 or version 2 releases?...I had a version 1 doing the exact same thing. Luckly I was still under Warranty and was able to get a replacement, which is the version that was released mid may of 2011 I think. And it had the 5gb data 1 gb media partition...its bwwn working fine and I'm running the cm 7.2 kang w/ mirage kernel.

Let it completely discharge (screen shuts off and Nook is non-responsive) and then charge it up fully. Any battery problems come after flashing and this method always fixes things.

It's about two (?) years old and version 1. Doubt it's under warranty anymore.

Standby drain.

Hey all bought a vega from pc world and for the price(£199)im more than happy with it,if there's one negative I've come across with the vega then it has to be battery standby drain.I fully charged my vega and used it for about 3 hours,watched a film and a bit of web browsing anyway when i put the tablet into standby(with airplane mode on)it was at 39%.Then nine hours later i switched it out of standby and it was at 30%.Hmmm i thought that's quite a big drop in just 9 hours,anyway i played one 2minute video and with the vega still showing 30% i again put it into standby.12 hours later i awoke the vega again expecting the 30% to be maybe down to about 20% or 18%. But no it was at 7%.so basically in the space of 21 hours with no usage at all(one 2 minute video) the vega had gone from 39% down to 7%...compared to my galaxy tab which in the same timespan with the equivalent usage would only lose about 3% im thinking has the vega got a faulty battery or something.Maybe this is just one of them things,you get what you pay for,the galaxy tab cost me double the price of the vega. Like i say for the price the vega is pretty impressive but the standby drain is defiantly a major downer.I've now started to charge my vega overnight no matter what power I've got left on it.

I have the exact same problem on both my Mobii's (same as vega) it looses like 1-2%/Hour on standby and I have seen some other ppl having the same issues, so sadly i guess it is more or less normal for the vega/Mobii to drain like this.
I have solved so that I power it down when i am out and about and dont have a charger near.
Hi slipurson Even turning the vega off doesn't help for me.When i seen how poor the vega was in standby i decided that when i'm not going to use the vega for a while I'll power it off.One night i had 42% left so knowing i wouldn't be using it for a good 12 or so hours i switched it of,when i turned it back on it was showing 17%.

This might be wrong, but I recall reading that the Android phone function is enabled on the tablets, and this can cause a hit on the battery.
Not sure if you can fix this with a hack or with a new ROM, however (I've been putting up with it so far)

With the Corvus ROM the creator provides a phone removal set of files to install through Clockwork. However when I applied them I got a message on each boot about some process or other not working. I had to install the ROM again over the top to remove that message.
Both my wife's and my Vega also drains when in standby but not as much when fully powered off. As neither of us used the original ROM I do not know if it is caused or made worse by any of the modified ones or just a problem of the hardware.
We are both using the nightly builds of CM 7 now. Whilst I can't be sure as yet, having only recently changed over, the battery drain issue might not be as bad, but that ROM also has all the dialler and phone components remaining.
Hi vimesUK The battery drain on my vega was happening whilst i was running the stock Rom,I've recently put on Paul's modacco r8 Rom because i hated the big notification bar at the top and also to get access to the full market.Gotta say though that even now I've changed from the stock Rom to a custom Rom that the standby battery drain still seems to be there.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
We both like the CM 7 build with the tablet tweaks. This enables us to have the status bar at the bottom with the option for it to remain on top of any running app or not. I didn't think that having it on the bottom was a big thing but having tried it I much prefer it that way.
@wildcat777 As you have noted the battery draining issues on both the std and modified ROM, as well as others reporting it, it must be assumed to be a common issue. I will have to try and noted what my battery percentage is when I shut down my Vega, I keep forgetting to do that, and see if the improvement that I think we have noted in the CM 7 build is actually happening or, as I suspect, no different as I can't see how it would be if the Vega is shut down rather than just in standby.
FYI: I remembered that I unplugged my wife's Vega this morning at 9:00am when it had fully charged. Just checking it now (it was left switched off) by booting it up and it is at 100%.
That represents 5 hours of being off charge but powered down.
Mine has been powered off for at least 15 hours and it seems to have lost about 2-3% charge, but then a reboot will also use up some power.
I've known my Vega to be at 60% when I switch it off, when I switch it back on a little later on or even the next day the battery level has dropped right down to about 18%.
There's obviously a problem somewhere, I don't know if somebody is trying to pinpoint why this is happening.
Vimes the problem seems to start after the vega has been turned on and used for a bit,what i mean is,when i charge the vega whilst of then unplug it,i can leave it for 6 or 7 hours then turn it on and its still at 100% or 99% charged,but after that 1st initial switch on after the charge anytime i put it into any kind of prolonged standby and it will lose power hand over fist,even switching it of doesn't help.personally i don't think there's a fix for this,i think it's just something we'll all have to put up with.There is one possible solution that im considering.I also own a galaxy tab and the battery meter was giving out fake readings.so say the battery was at 60% it would suddenly drop to 3% even though i knew for certain it had plenty of charge left.anyway the fix for this problem was to open up the tab and remove the battery,wait for 30 minutes and replace the battery.this 100% fixed the problem,there's a thread on the galaxy tab forum on this i'll try and post it for you all.don't know if this might work with the vega or not could be worth a try.

Cant post the thread but if you go to forums its in the Samsung galaxy tab general section and the thread is called "FAKE STATUS OF BATTERY"read the entire thread to understand the battery removal technique this has worked 100% and has helped solve a major problem that the tab had.

I to have the problem of low battery after leaving the device off for a while, although it seems to be a battery gauge problem rather than a battery problem.
Because it still lasts ages before needing charging, hell sometimes it will suddenly flip from 10% to 80%.
Think battery can't read it's charge properly is all.

Droid X battery fail

So I bought the official Motorola extended battery. I've followed ever freaking guide there is to resetting the battery and all. I still have issues with my battery, multiple roms, wipes, resets haven't helped. I unplug my charger at 7am, by noon I have 10% or less left. It stays low till it turns off sometime the next day.
What am I missing.....
That's very odd.
I know that you stated you had already tried a battery wipe, but just to be careful:
Charge to 100%
Let it run completely dead
Charge to 100% without turning the phone on

Also, there's more information I need to post here, and what rom are you using?

I'm running MUI, latest build. I don't think it will charge with the phone off will it? On this rom I mean.
the 2nd Init ROMs won't charge while off. You should try putting up with a stock ROM for a day while you troubleshoot the battery. If you can correct the issue using the above method you should be gtg. Once it's fixed install MIUI on a full battery and do a battery wipe.
Ok so I flashed back to Libery .9. Charging from fully dead now while off.

Phone shuts off and freezes

2 days ago my phone (for the first time) just shut off and wouldn't turn back on even if I held the power button. It turned back on after plugging it into an outlet and holding the power button. The same thing happened today.
I'm using the stock battery (I just bought the Anker battery because I figure it's the battery causing issues) and I'm on Scott's CleanROM. I've had the phone since July (brand new) and haven't had any problems since.
How long have you been on this rom/release version? Got a new kernel or try any new kernel settings? Maybe try using the new battery for a few days to see if that's the problem?

AT&T - S4 - CleanROM 1.5 is the exact ROM I've had since I installed it. I'm not too sure what "kernal" means so I didn't change any voltage settings or anything like that.

I think I just got unlucky with a defective OEM battery. The new battery comes in tomorrow so I'll stick it in there and let you guys know what happens.
Ironically, my phone has this issue when the battery discharges to around ~40%. It's fully charged right now so I want to test that theory as well.

Well whatever works for ya. I'd hate to be that one case of a bad battery. Let us know.
So that didn't fix anything since I got the same issue again today with the Anker battery. I have a feeling it's the "hover your hand over the phone" gesture since this happens when the phone is in my pocket pressing against my wallet.

[Q] Fault battery indicator [SOLVED]

Hello, :fingers-crossed:
i'm having a lot of troubles with the battery of my Nexus 4. I'll try to explain this strange situation...
Few days ago i noticed a ridicoulous battery drain while i was, as usually, listening to some music with my bluetooth A2DP headset Jabra HALO2. It was something like 1% every less then 1 minute. At first i thought it was due to a recently upgrade to CM10.2M1 (which is a monthly build of Cyanogenmod on 4.3) or due to a 5 minutes fast charge from the 2A charger of Nexus 10 that could have "upset" the battery.
At first i started focusing on the software side problem; i tried CM10.2RC1, CM10.2, stock 4.3, stock 4.4 and now CM11M1, and, while doing all of those wipes, i noticed that not only the discharge was insanely fast, but even the charge! The graph on the setting panel is almost vertical while cahrging, like 3% to 40% in 25 minutes.
But that's not all, sometimes, after rebooting, i noticed a battery level different from the previous boot, so i decided to wait a full discharge and then fully recharge it. I have waited the 0% (not so much time ) putting the screen always on and the LED flash too, then, i tried few times to turn it on and every time, after the boot screen disappeared it immediately started to turning off due to 0% battery.
Moreover, for being certain, i tried to turn it on in recovery and wait how much time it would take to consume the lasting charge on the battery. Surprisingly, after 30 minutes it was still there! I tried a reboot into system, showing me a 10% remaining battery (WTF), which discharged to 0% in like 3 minutes. Now i'm waiting the whole night the real discharge in recovery with screen always on, hoping that a full recharge could fix it. I would like to evidence that the phone do not overheat during both charghe and discharge, so i guess the battery itself may be ok.
I'm still not sure if it's a software problem, and i'm worrid if it could be an hardware related issue. Maybe it could have been the charge from the 2A adapter.
I really don't know what to do next. Someone knows how to help me?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByucdM-SwPNnZEtXczNuTXhiMGc/edit?usp=sharing
EDIT:
I've done a full discharge until even the full hybernation has been shutted down, but seems that it hasn't solved anything. I've also noticed that in the battery stat is missing the display consumption (WTF?!?). Maybe it's a CM11M1 bug, it happen even to my Nexus 10. Here other shots:

EDIT:
I've noticed just now that while I was waiting a real full discharge of the battery the TWRP couldn't show me the battery percentage. Really strange...
[SOLVED]
In summary, the problem was the combination of kernel+ROM. The CM with his kernel on N4 was consuming tons of electrons. I tried Purity+Hellscore, now i reach few days of low usage and one and half of medium usage

It have 9 months, and yes is still under warrenty, but I've bought it in Spain, and I live in Italy. I think this will be hard to solve
I have some strange problemi too.
Sometines the phone reboot itself and the battery drops (i tried to flash all stock: recovery, bootloader,ROM ecc..)
It could be a faulty battery.. Read this topic, it looks like you have the same kind of problems.
Do you also have simlocks/loss of network connection?

I've already read this topic, i think the source of the problem may be related with mine, but symptoms are different. It is strange that this happened 9 months later!
Gully discharging the phone, rebooting, discharge again if any, reboot. Connect charger, charge full. Reboot, charge full again if any, reboot. This always worked for me.
You can also try to fully discharge, completely power off the phone and let it fully charge while powered off ( only a white battery should be shown on the display).

Battery charge values

Hi all!
I've some strange problems with mt nexus 4 battery values.
Today i had 59% of battery and i plug it to the original charger. After 2 hours i saw the battery with 100% charge value. OK. Nothing wrong here. I rebooted the phone and after that i had 84% of battery.
This is happening almost every time i charge my nexus 4.
I had stock rom with franco.kernel updater. Now i have paranoid Android with The same kernel.
Any idea about this?

Have you been dirty flashing a lot?
your battery reading needs to be recalibrated.... Charge full than use until it shuts down...than charge again fully, at 100% reboot phone & connect to charge again.....
You also can try "BatteryRepair.apk" from market..most of the time it helps to recalibrate..just install, open & follow on screen instruction....

I had the same issue with my previous nexus 4. Did you ever get your screen/display changed? Or do you charge your phone overnight? Do you rely on USB charging a lot? If any of those answers is YES, its probable that your battery has gone bad (as mine had)
I don't think that's the solution, but give a try to this free app from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&hl=it
I always thought this problem was related to rom development but I'm not sure. It happened to me with CM11 at the very beginning in november, and then it just stopped. Since January I'm on slimkat, at first it didn't happen and then for a few weeks i noticed the same problem you have, now everything has been fine again for the last two weeks.

I'm gonna try that app. I rebooted the phone around 9am and now is almost finishing the charge. The battery lasts till tomorrow with my normal use of the phone, but i tough strange that every time i rebooted the phone, i lose battery % :s
Just try avoiding the charge to 100%->reboot->charge to 100% again for a few days.
Don't let it discharge till 0%, connect the charge when you have 1%-4% left and let it charge till 100% with the phone on, and then use your phone normally.

Please go through this thread. A couple of other members (myself included) finally deduced that if you ever have your display changed you NEED to get your battery changed as well. Trust me on this, get your battery checked once. It WILL be bloated. Also, if upon restarting there is a break in the battery graph and there is a significant drop/rise in battery level, that is another indicator that your battery is going.

I've been reading that thread but for example, what happens to me it's nothing compared to the first topic of that thread. I only miss sometimes 10% after restart, sometimes 5%, sometimes nothing. From what i understand, in that thread most of users with battery problem had like 80% and after reboot they only had 2%, or 0%. Thats different i think, but i'm not expert on this subject
Anyway, installed the suggested app and calibrated the battery throw the app. For now i have this data (Paranoid Android Beta6+Franco.Kernel.Updater r201):

Try Battery Monitor Widget from the Market - you can see what current the phone is pulling, and if indeed full charge is reached. There are also calibration tools inside - the app calculates the real capacity of the battery, for example. If it's a long way from 2100mAh it would be a sign you need a new battery.
Though like everyone else, I think it´s a software problem. With previous Android phones I had to be careful calibrating, flashing etc. With the N4 I've had no such issues in the year I've had it. That app can help you sort out battery calibration though.
Can you tell me The dev name? Got 2 battery monitor widgets :s

Not really. Just rooted the phone 3 weeks ago and i was with stock + franco.kernel updater till 1 week ago. Then changed to Paranoid Android + Franco.kernel.Updater.
I'm trying this right now. At 1h07am the battery had 0%, so i connected to the original charger and did go to sleep. When i woke up, it had 100%. I rebooted the phone, connected the charger again and the phone had 90% (This at 8am). 2 hours later the phone is at 97%.
I couldnt find this on market :/

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's a little expensive for me at the moment

This looks normal, although if you see a break in the battery graph and huge drop/rise in battery then its definitely done for. However its not the case with your phone, so relax
Well this evening i left the phone with 60% of battery and at 7am the battery was death. Just ordered a new one. I've only one problem. I dont have any plastic screw to open it. I've the torx t5 screw only.
Any advise to the new battery?
