Is my HTC ONE battery faulty? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My battery when it reaches around 7 - 4% will skip straight to 1% and turn off. I don't normally let it reach less than 10% but when I have it's done the above.
Any ideas has to what it could be?
Thank you for reading and any help provided in advance.

Its not so good to let your battery get so low. I start a recharge at 20%. Your battery may just need to be re-calibrated.

Mine has done the exact same thing. Otherwise it works great. I haven't repeted the test because as Zaphod says it's not recomended.

[Q] Battery drain

Last night I charged my phone and unplugged it around 6:30 am, but used it for maybe 10-15 minutes total for some calling and light apps like iGag, but as you can see, Android OS drained almost 30% of the battery while the phone was idling.
What exactly is Android OS, because I can't find the exact apps which drained the battery so badly. Any apps or advices for detecting the troubled apps or an advice? Thanks guys. :good:
Try battery stats plus from Google Play.run it for while, it will calculate which apps are draining your battery most.

Strange shut down on Low battery

Hi everybody.. i'm encountering this problem with my HTC one. When I reach the 20 %-9 % range of the battery the one shut down. Try to reboot and shut down again on lock screen.then I'm forceed to put it on charge. Why this strange behavior ? Battery is broken or not calibrated?or a bug? Please help !!

If i remember their is a battery calibration file somewhere in the system, if it is deleted it causes the phone to re-calibrate the battery gauge, have you tried a battery re-calibration app from the app store, i think this is what they do.

All stock!

If it`s all stock and you dont want to root, all you can do is full charge and then run it till it shuts down a couple of times and hope the battery gauge learns the true battery capacity, if this does not work.
Or you could try charging it to 100% and keep it plugged in, then do a restore to factory defaults while plugged in, then see if that fixes it.
If this does not work, you might have a faulty battery, get a replacement phone.

Found this fix online, see if it works.
Option 2: (No Root) Physical Battery Calibration This option is also very simple, but at the same time, a little more time consuming. If you have a rooted device, Option 1 is definitely the way to go. However, if you don’t know what “root” means, stick with Option 2 and go check out the root section of Android Authority.
Turn your phone on and charge it for 8 hours or more.
Unplug the charger.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug the charger.
Turn on the phone and wait 2 minutes.
Turn your phone off and charge it for one hour.
Unplug, turn it on and use as normal. Your battery life should now be a lot better.

AT&T HTC One lost 40% battery when it was OFF.

Had around 67% when I went to sleep. Forgot my charger at home as I was at my girlfriends, so I turned off the phone. I woke up this morning to see my battery at 23%! And while writing this post, I accidently turned it off again and now my battery is at 8%
Whats going on!?

Umh, you have the fastboot active?
And, the phone was hot?
Possibly android was reporting the wrong battery status when you turned it off. Charge your device to 100 percent then turn it off and on again without the charger plugged in. If it reads below 100 charge it again until it's full.

Yes, I had fast boot on. Searching around I turned it off. Didn't think that would cause such a drain...

Your battery could be defective but doing the steps I mentioned above will help rule it out.

Is possible that is this the cause
However, try with the other member mentioned
Thanks for the help guys. I guess it was fast boot... I tried it the other night and only lost 3%. At least it wasn't my battery

Because the fastboot is like the "sospension" of windows.
The OS is running in background with all the app open and all the service...

Weird battery problem...

My butterfly s has been fantastic in almost every aspects..
But i ve found a weird problem regarding the battery..
It can normally last for a whole day, which is really pleasing me. But if i drain it to below 15%, it drains much faster. What i mean is it can be 10% after 2min and 1% after another 2min...
Is it a software problem or a hardware one
Thanks in advance!
Edit: one thing i have missed, when i connect it to a charger, it jumps to 10% after seconds...

It's normal for Li-Pol batteries - same issue with my 901s phone. Also don't use the phone with less than 20% battery unless you really need to, as that's the critical point for the battery and if you go below that level, it shortens battery life and can degrade the battery capacity.

This 2% per 5 mins is when the phone is in standby mode ?
then there is some crap that is eating all your battery.
have a look at the battery usage and see what is using the battery most, in my case it's exchange service -- i cant do anything there because i use email app to get my office emails.
please reply with the app that is using most battery.

I don't think it'll matter.
Looks like your battery is dead. This phone is the most power-effective phone I owned since Motorola Defy+, it can hold any abuse and still has juice at the end of the day.

And then you've either installed some app that keeps your phone constantly awake, or killed the battery immediately by discharging it to 0. That's the only 2 explanations.
Right now I'm 17h on battery at 50% remaining, and screen as the top discharge reason with 32%. My father, who doesn't use the same phone extensively, routinely charges it once in 2 days. You should have screwed up something really bad to cause this phone not to hold charge.

Could be killed battery. This app won't do anything bad, I believe.
Might also be something reception-related, but I'm not sure if the reception is good/bad or if your carrier does/doesn't support fast dormancy and to what degree does it affect the phone.
