[Q] Wierd battery draining behaviour - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone
Since three weeks I have the following problem: the phone suddenly power of, i notice it if i push the button to get the lock screen. In this case the phone stay black. When connect it to power the led short blinks up red. Afterwards im able to turn it on.
My LG N4 is:
non rootet
kitkat
what if tried:
let the phone die, and load it for a few hours
replaced the battery with a new one
searchd for apps may are troublemakers
The images are screenshots from the battery stats screen..
Screenshot_2014-03-11-22-37-22.png and Screenshot_2014-03-20-10-28-15.png are just screenshots where you see the issue
Screenshot_2014-03-20-10-41-49.png and Screenshot_2014-03-20-12-53-41.png are from today and show the battery dont make it over 5 hours.
I'can handle the fast draining, but this sudden shutdowns are real pain.
Have anyone registered the same problems? Is there a common solution?

screen not showing up in battery usage?

Trying to fix this android os draining my battery, turned some things off, charged my phone and rebooted.. well now screen isn't reported as being on, and it's not showing up in the list of things using my battery. Plz halp.
Mine does this from time to time, or the screen stops recording time on - usually charging it and unplugging resets and fixes though. I put it down to reboots/kernel flashes etc on my side.

Note 4 drops from 50% battery to 0% instantly. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi there, I currently have a Samsung Note 4 running CM12.1 and in the past two days the phone has randomly "crashed" late afternoon/night (5.30pm today and 8.40pm last night). My phone performs fine throughout the day and then I'll notice that the screen doesn't wake up if I press the home button like normal. If I then power the phone on it boots up and instantly powers off after booting since it has "0%" battery. Both times the phone had plenty of charge in it, around 30-50%. Has anyone else encountered this before?
I have some screenshots but I am unable to post the Imgur links in my post because of my post count. Any other way I can post them?
Specs:
SM-N910F
CM 12.1-20151022-NIGHTLY-trltexx
Android 5.1.1
I can provide more specs if you wish.
Buy another battery, if another battery is OK then your old battery is broken
I had a similar issue where it would, after a clean software reset, shut down unexpectedly at 20% or so - then subsequently at 40%, 60%, and further 20 percent increments when I'd let it shut down of it's own accord. RMA'd it under warranty, pretty pleased with the service I got. No software fix for it.

Recalibrate your battery. I had this issue, too, after flashing another ROM. My Note 4 would shut down and die at ~50%.
1. Download Battery Calibration from Google Play
2. Fully charge your phone. By "fully" I mean not only to 100% (which, in your case, will be something like 50% effective charge), but until your LED has turned green. For good measure, just turn your phone off and let it charge overnight.
3. Run Battery Calibration, and tap the big button that says "Battery Calibration"
4. That's it.
You should do this every time you flash a new ROM, because there's always a chance your battery gets miscalibrated during the process.
Thank you very much for your help everyone, I'll try the Battery Calibration and let you know if it fixes it!

Note 4 battery, signal and performance problem.

I've been having this strange problem these last few weeks. It happens in different ways.
1. Bellow 25% phone randomly shuts off then when i reboot its 0% battery.
2. Bellow 25% at random % I lose phone signal then the phone starts to lag and capacitive keys don't work then the phone shuts off and when i power it on its at 0%.
3. Phone gets to 15% i plug it in to charge, it doesn't charge but discharges to 0% then shuts off and after that it charges.
If i remove the battery then put it back in after it says 0% it may show 30%/20/15/13/25/30 etc. Sometime it doesn't charge after 87% or 92%. Is it the battery or is something else at fault? Also i can't get more then 2h15m screen time whatever i do and wifi drain is 30% in gsam.
Earlier I had same problemes on my Note 1 and it was because of my battery. Probably your problemes are becuse of your battery too.
Ok I will try a new battery.
I have exactly the same problem!!!!
Like exactly.
However I'd like to add some things:
1. Sometimes the radio signal for mobile starts randomly cutting in and out. It will be full bars, LTE, then nothing, no signal symbol. Then Full bars again, then no signal. In 1 minute revolutions. I am not physically moving during this time.
2. Even at near full battery the phone will get super laggy, stutter, and then finally crash. Once it reboots the battery will be 40% or something. Not super low but lower.
3. The camera seems to have a huge effect as well. I will open the camera, take a picture, and the picture won't save...it will just start to freeze the phone up until I have to pull the battery or it reboots on its own.
I also have a new battery coming in the mail.
However I should note that I am Note 4 910-H using a 910-C variant Custom ROM.
I was worried it was the special Modem I flashed to make the C variant ROM work on my H variant phone that was causing the problem.
Great, but unfortunate to see someone else having this issue too.
Ill post results of the new battery here.
Btw, ive been able to resurrect it from a very low state of charge (3% etc). The only way to do this is to use my fast charger. The fast charger is the only thing that will save it. Even then it takes ages to charge and gets white hot while it does. Its like the fast charger is battling for charge against some unknown force.
Post if you remember when you get your new battery. Hope that fixes it for you.
hi
my note 4 910c become very hot when i use the internet , can i change the modem from lower android like 4.2 to android 6 ? is it work ?
I have exactly the same problem and please if any1 finds any solution just share it here... I tried almost everything but not a new battery.
Battery Calibration By All The Ways, Battery Quick Start via *#0228#, Many Custom ROMs, Many Custom Kernels and Many Stock ROMs and the problem still the same even after I cleanly installed stock 6.0.1 ... Any help please.
Thanks in advance.
New Battery fixed 99% of my problems.
However the phone still randomly freezes and disconnects from cell service.
I think its the modem driver. Freezing might also be due to sd card.

Phone shutting down randomly

Hi everone. I have the Samsung Galaxy S5 (Octa core version). Recently, i noticed that the battery had a strange behavior, so i planned to replaced when i finish my exams. During that time, the phone started to shut down randomly, so i bought a new battery thinking that would resolve all the problems, but it won't. The phone keeps shutting down alone, it happends when the battery percentage is below 60% and for turn on again i have to connect the phone charger or remove the battery and put it in again. Some times, the baterry percentage changes -/+ 15%, even from 40% to 3%. Oddly, sometimes the phone just get a black screen when i using it or the screen suffers some kind of distortion and shuts down.
Already did a factory reset and did some test on safe mode, but no luck. Curiously, when the phone is charging, there are no problems of any type.
Any clue of what could be?

[HELP] Battery goes to 0%. But in Factory Mode it works without problems

Hi everyone!
Recently, for reasons of having a fast and economical mobile, I bought a second-hand Moto X Play XT1563 Latin American version.
The first problem I noticed is that the battery tends to go to 0% even while charging. It can go to 70%, or 50% or whatever percentage. Or if I open the camera after a few seconds it goes to 0%.
What happens, when I start the phone in "Factory Mode" after it "dies", it works without problems. And it still maintains the battery percentage with which it went out. And if I try to turn it on normally, just before the Bootanimation is finished, the low battery sound sounds and then it shows the "Turning off" and turns off.
Also if I put it to load off, it shows the percentage with which it went off. I turn on the phone normally and it shows the percentage, but when disconnected after a few seconds it does the same thing of going to 0%.
I thought it was because the previous owner never updated Nougat, I have read that the ROM of 6.0.1 gives a lot of problems, so I updated it to see if it was the problem and it has not solved it. I tried putting the Kernel "Squid R23" to see if it was Kernel Stock problem and nothing.
It should be noted that I do not have the Motorola Turbo charger, I use one of 5V 1.5A. And it takes about 2 or 3 hours to charge. And it is downloaded two hours later, I don't know if it also has to do with it. Although it still seems strange to me that "Factory Mode" if I work without problems. It basically works like a Tablet, only WiFi.
I guess it may be the battery, but I have read similar cases and they say that replacing the battery does not solve the problem.
Personally, using my mild common sense, I think it is something of Firmware as a type of descaling. But I don't know how to accommodate it either, I've already deleted the "Battery-stat.xml" several times and it doesn't help the problem either.
I hope someone can have the solution to the problem. A cordial greeting!
(Sorry if my English can have errors, I speak Spanish and I don't know how to speak English well. I use Google Translate)
EDIT: When I am in "Factory Mode" and have an already low battery level, the touch screen starts to make ghost touches at the top and bottom. Especially when I do things with consumption, such as opening the camera or if the phone is just turned on. This only happens in the "Factory Mode" and when there is little battery.
Same problem here

I have installed the LineageOS 14.1 in my X Play and as you mentioned, in Factory Mode the battery continues to drain out completely, and in a normal startup, it randomly shuts down below 40% of charge.
Once I drained the battery in Factory Mode, then left the phone charging overnight. Next day it powered itself off at 20% and eventually 40% again, so no solution there.
I tried deleting the Battery-stat.bin and the Battery-stat.xml but nothing changes.
Then in Factory Mode there is no mobile network connection, and in Normal Mode something is sending a shutdown signal nevertheless the battery level, so I was wondering, can I manually turn on/off such services so my phone doesn't turn off in Normal Mode or turn on the mobile network connection in Factory Mode?
Can someone lead us in the right direction? I can't find the right services nor the way to enable/disable them.
PD Your english level is above average, I speak spanish too.
Got any solution guys?!
