[Q] Xperia Play charges by itself *magically*

Ok so my battery percentage has been acting really really strange. As shown in the images below. It was at 70% then I was warching a few youtube videos and some other stuff and it dropped to +/- 30%. So far it all makes sense but then I put it a way in my pocket and after half an hour I went to take a look and it was at 60% ??? Why is my Xperia Play doing this?

Now I'm scared to rely on the percentage indicator because I don't know how accurate it is and if it is showing a higher than normal charge or a lower than normal.
I am running Gin2jellybean custom rom with doomkernel14. I am overclocked at 1.2GHZ.
I remember back when I was stock I had a similar problem but it wasn't this severe like it would usually go up 1 or 2%
Also I do the clear battery stats (I do the method properly) once every month or two. I think I did it 2 weeks ago.
Any ideas?

Try to wipe caches and battery stats. And try bad ass battery monitor its free from the play store

Interesting battery drain

Its weird that my battery drains very fast from 90 to 30 but after 30 it slows way down. My usage pattern is the same throughout the day as can be seen. Anyone know why that is?

Probably app related. Some apps, like Dropbox, will stop synching with the server once the battery gets to a certain level. Are you using any server intensive apps? Streaming?

You should calibrate your battery. I always do this after switching ROMs
I leave it charging overnight and, when I wake up, I delete the file 'batterystats.bin' with the phone still plugged (I don't remember in which folder, but there are some apps in the Market which delete it (Battery Calibration or something like that)), then I reboot and unplug it. Let the phone running until the battery hits 0%, then recharge it to 100% again. It should help you with your problem.

post your accubattery battery health here

mine showed 92 percent after the first charge cycle and now that i charged it again it is showing 91 percent. i have had the phone for two days. Just curious to see what you guys have.

new batteries need a few cycles to reach max potential

I would suggest try it after a few Cycles.

92% here as well. Need to give it a few more charges I think.

the app suggest to keep the battery at 80% max.. what do you think ? are you doing it or need the extra juice ? and if 80% is better, why wont smartphone or charger stop at 80% them self ? the 80% suggestion is because the higher temperature at the end of the charging, but since dash charge keeps the heat out of the phone, does it really matter ?

92% here as well.... Had it since the first day from popupstore.
I#M not really sure if it make sence to charge only to 80%, maybe its better for the accu for the long time usage, but for 1-2 years, dont know if there is a huge difference.

Device can't go into deep sleep

Hello guys, I've got the device since day 1, and all these 4 months had excellent battery life with 6-7 hours SOT.
Out of nowhere last month can't get more than 3 hours of SOT and this is a huge issue because it doesn't last the whole day.
Previous week the service changed my battery.
Nothing happened.
I have wiped the cache from recovery. I had formatted the device and set it up from the scratch without any backup. I had disabled the social media. Nothing helped.
Last night installed CPU Spy and saw the for 13 minutes the device was working on full speed, and can't go into deep sleep with the most hours working on the lowest cpu state.
I have to mention that the device was on Samsung's wireless charger and the wifi on so I can check instantly all the notifications on the morning that I wake up.
Any clue what is causing that? How I can check which application doesn't let the device to go into deep sleep?View attachment 4802749

battery left at 0 % for few months,I'm sad,any consequences?

I thought I left my tablet at 50 % battery,and I really haven't used it for like many months,probably around 3-4 months.
Earlier I wanted to check the tablet and found out that battery was 0 %.
Now I know that is bad for battery,but now I feel sad.
I thought I left my "boy" to 50 % capacity,but dunno what happened,probably I left it at 15 % last time and battery depleted.
So now I'm wondering any serious consequences to battery,because it was at 0% for God knows how long.
I will check the SOT today when I charge it,and will report back.
I know I had around 10 h of SOT.

I used the tablet for 3 days watching yt 1080p video at lower then medium brightness with power saving mode ON.
I charged the tablet before this to 70 % and discharge to 15 %.In total got 394 minutes of SOT.
99% of time used for watching 1080p video.
I guess ain't bad,huh?
Here is screenshot from AccuBattery.
