So I have the HTC One M9, I rooted it, unlocked the boot loader wiped the rom, installed venom and cleared cache. I had numerous problems with it like crashes and settings going back to original. I installed sunshine to do s-off and updated to the newest venom for the m9 and it upgraded my radio and firmware. I liked the updated version more...but...now to the issues:
Phone shuts off at 20%-50% I try to boot back on and it says 0% battery. I plug back in and phone turns on and says 26% or whatever it was before it shutdown, then minutes later it shuts down and after plugging it in and booting up it actually shows 1%...this never happened until I upgraded it. Sometimes after the phone shuts down all my settings go back to it was before I customized everything and I have to log in to all my Google accounts and my keyboard dictionary looses all my saved words and it pisses me off.
Has anyone experienced this with venom on the HTC m9 ...my m7 never had issues, but both versions on my m9 have been nothing but problems and I love the venom rom because it's so customizable. But now I'm thinking about going to other roms

M8 and M9 both exhibit the same thing as a battery gets worn out.... I would say you need a new battery
It's been said that setting extreme power save to kick in at a percentage higher than when it fails can prevent it.
also, some have said doing the three finger battery calibration may help, but some have also said it doesn't last.
the supposed official HTC battery recalibration steps:
recalibrate your battery by doing the following steps:
◦Go to Settings and disable Fast Boot.
◦Turn off the phone.
◦Charge the phone using your HTC charger for at least two minutes.
◦While the M8 (M9) is charging, press and hold down the following buttons: Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power.
◦Continue holding the three buttons for at least two minutes. The phone will repeatedly turn on and off every 15 seconds while you’re doing this.
◦After 2 minutes, release the buttons when the phone is on.
◦Let the M8 charge normally.
If the phone shut off between 25% - 50%, the battery is dying and only hold 75% or less of its original capacity.
My M8 used to do that. Only new battery could help
I figured I had battery issues, I purchased this on eBay as a refurbished model because it previously had battery issues but it being refurbished I thought it was fixed, it maybe the seller was full of crap. I'm gonna attempt to call HTC and see if there's a records of this, I didn't have any luck with the battery recalibration method mentioned above (and I google it. And that is the official recalibration method), I was reading that after installing custom ROM battery should be recalibrated so I'm gonna delete the battery.bin file through twrp at 100% and give that a try...
I just don't understand why if the phone died because battery is dead, why when I boot my phone back up all my settings and customisation's wiped out and back to normal like as if I just installed the ROM, and log me out of my Google accounts and delete my keyboard dictionary

I have a weird issue with charging while phone (HTC One X + Venom 2.1.0) is off. I discovered it when I was trying to extend my battery life using one of the tricks floating around.
The trick says that you should shut off the phone when charged 100% and left it with the charger connected. Whan I did it after 30 minutes I have noticed that the phone was already on (! - pressed the power button) and the battery level was 90%, decreased 10%. I shut the phone off and left it for 30 minutes more and the same thing happened when I wanted to start it again, the only diffrence was that the battery level was 70%. Decreased 30% in 1 hour when it should have been off!
Further testing shows that the unit refuses to charge the battery if I connect the usb cable after shutting off. That's weird... Anyone who have seen a similar behaviour? Could any of you confirm that charging is working when shut off, hopefully anyone that also run the Venom ROM, altough I don't think it has something to do with the ROM as the phone is initially shut off!
When the phone is off its in recovery. Flash latest cwm and it should be fine

I've already checked the CWM version (5.8.4.0) and even re-installed (from the ROM Manager) but the behaviour is the same

Issue solved by reflashing the recovery (touch). Thanx för guiding me right.

I have the same problem, i flashed and reflashed the recovery but still not working
How did you flashed it? Hopefully not with rom manager, did you?

Hello all,
Let me start off the message by mentioning that I have been a (altogether) very happy user of cyanogen mods with my last 3 android phones.
The last and current (but it seems not for long) is an HTC One X, which is over 2 years old.
This poor thing has gone through so many ROMs that I have lost count.
It is currently running on a stable cm10.2.1, upgraded from cm10.1.3.
I have experienced sudden power offs when there were obvious battery drain, battery overheat, weird app installation issues, especially since moving to cm 10.2.1, which also caused the GPS to stop getting any satellite signals.
However, the phone has recently (a couple of weeks) leveled up into a bizarre mode:
It will power off all of a sudden, the battery levels are not low 65-75%, so I would assume it was just some process in the background, and go ahead and start the phone up again to go and check through the logs, or even disable/cleanup dodgy overreacting apps. But to my surprise, the phone passes the quietly brilliant screen, as well as the CM logo with the circling arrow and as soon as you can see the background it shows Powering off - the phone is shutting down.
For those brief couple of seconds I can see the battery indicator (top right corner) showing a small part of it in red, letting me believe the battery's status is critically low. So I let the phone charge for half an hour, and start it up again, with the same result, once the device goes past the logo and the background shows, the Powering off message appears again. The battery indicator is still showing a small red circulating section of the whole.
The next step was to go and check in recovery mode. The battery on the TWRP screen shows almost 70%, and this leads me to assume there is something wrong with the battery. But the phone is not turning off for as long as in recovery mode. I still haven't ruled out the battery issue, and will test it when I get delivered and replace the spare one I have ordered.
Reading through forums and other threads, there were people complaining that they had the same issues when the phone was trying to change from 2G to 3G and the other way around, so I removed the sim card and have restarted the phone, still the same result, powering off after boot.
I also reflashed 10.2.1 thinking that a clean installation will help getting rid of some new app/processes that might be causing this, but exactly the same powering off occurs after booting. The same happens even after a factory reset.
Usually, after half an hour of inactivity the phone would start up normally, but today it has been several hours and the behavior is not improving.
At this point I can't get into the phone other than on recovery, I can't copy from/into its storage anything, not even the nandroid backups I regularly do (and which stupidly I haven't copied over to an external storage). I could try reflashing some stock image, but even that I don't have on the internal storage.
So as you see, I am bit stuck. Phone will not stay ON long enough for me to connect to my machine and save my backups, or load any new stuff.
If you have any other suggestions other than this, or perhaps a workaround to what I have already tried, I would extremely appreciate it.
Cheers,
Mad
I have the same problem..
I have tried everything, but nothing helped me.
Now my battery is 0% and i cant do nothing - cant charge it, cant boot in bootloader.
Something heppened when you changed the bettery?
So, a few things: First, I used Sunshine on my phone last Wednesday to put the newest T-Mobile firmware on my phone. Prior to doing these two things, this problem did not exist. I am on ViperOne 3.5, chose T-Mobile as my carrier and was very careful in setting things up.
First two or so times I would notice my phone was not waking up, so I held down the power button to restart and after it turned on there was a very large battery drain (30-50%). After this I decided that maybe the firmware was the issue, so I fastboot flashed a fullwipe version through fastboot (originally I had done a no wipe flash) and restored backup nandroid from TWRP. After that the problem persisted, so I thought maybe it was a rom conflict and did a clean install of Viper 3.5, thought everything would be good but while in the car it did it again. This time I caught it quick (I had used my phone maybe five minutes before and when I restarted the battery drain was less than 5%. But seeing as I've done a clean install of both the firmware and the rom now, I'm sort of at a loss for what to do.
Has anyone heard of this, or would anyone have tips on what to do? Can provide additional info if needed, just want to get this worked out. I've been lucky so far and it's done it while I didn't need power. If it were to do it during work when I can't check the phone for a while, it could lead to the entire battery being depleted.
::EDIT:: I should also add that this happened once when I was asleep, and I found that the phone would not charge when in this state, as the orange light was not on when I woke up and I had to reboot the phone. Again, extremely weird and it only started after Sunshine and firmware change, nothing else.
This "sleep of death" thing has happened to me a few times, though I have not seen the battery drain. I have not figured out what is causing it.

I actually just caught it and tested some more out. Tried plugging it into a wall and it won't charge. Also tried plugging it into a computer and it will not recognize. The only two things I have changed are the firmware version, and running sunshine through it. I'm actually pretty worried since it won't even interface with a computer until rebooted. Also went from 90ish% to 77 in a matter of 15 or so minutes
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my M8. The unit would turn itself off all of a sudden. This happens without a low battery warning and no other error messages or warning displayed on screen. No beeps or audio cues, either. I would be looking at it and using it as per normal when it would just power down and turn off all by itself. This has happened twice in the last two weeks. In both instances, they have these in common:
a) Battery was low but not critically so. IIRC, the first time it happened the battery was at 25% and the latest incidence the battery was at 18%. The low battery warning usually given at 15% power wasn't displayed.
b) In both cases, I've just only turned the display on & started using the M8 for less than 15 seconds before it turns off.
c) In both instances, the mobile data & GPS was on. Wifi was off. Phone wasn't charging and the camera/flash was also off.
What I do after this happens is I would go home & charge the phone using the original M8 charger. The charging battery icon would be displayed and the charging level tallies with the last charge level that I see before the phone turns off. I let the phone charge for about 10 minutes or so before tinkering with it.
What's frustrating is that after these sudden shutdowns, some of my settings were reset & the phone will be wonky. I had to re-do the settings in both the settings app & also Google settings according to my preferences. Some default apps were cleared as well, so the phone would ask which app I'd like to use for my Home screen (either Sense Home or Nova Launcher, which I use exclusively). Some developer options were reset too, e.g animation scale etc. Other basic settings as well, such as auto updating apps in Google Play Store.
Also, first time it happened, I was locked out of my phone. The lock screen is displayed but all the PIN combinations I've tried seems to be wrong. The lock screen would go off after I try inputting the PIN. Restart by pressing vol button with power button didn't work at all. I'd touch the screen, the lock screen will be displayed, I'd try inputting PIN but I guess it's wrong because the screen just goes off. In the end, I had to reset the PIN number using Android Device Manager on Chrome running on my desktop PC. Only then was I able to access my phone. My wallpaper was reset, although my app icons on the desktop was the same as before. Apps were all there.
The 2nd time this happened was yesterday. I wasn't locked out of my phone but all my text messages (SMS) were lost. No other loss of data, as far as I can tell. But some of the settings, default app preferences & also app permissions were reset. Had to redo them all over again. Getting a bit tiring, this.
I don't understand what's happening. My M8 is on 6.0, stock ROM & unrooted. Never rooted. I've done the battery calibration steps once but that was before the Marshmallow update. When my M8 was running Lollipop, there were times when it would turn itself off as well but it was triggered by using the camera flash at low battery levels. However, settings, app preferences & permissions were not reset at all then.
Has this happened to anyone? What could be wrong? Would appreciate any & all feedback Thanks in advance.
This happens to me too. My battery is dodgy and it turns itself off when the battery is displaying anywhere up to 30%!! What I have found is that if you attempt to turn the phone on and it turns back off during the boot process then this is what screws up the settings. As long as it is charging and completes the boot without turning off then the settings are fine.
This is a MM problem. Wasn't present with LP as you and others have reported.
The only possible fixes on your end is to do a factory reset and then run the phone down until it shuts off and then charge to 100% with the phone still off. You can also try holding power+vol up+vol down for 2 minutes. This should wipe battery calibration stats. These suggestions may or may not resolve the problem but are worth trying.

Its happening to me!
I thought this was MM issue but i have flashed cm 14.1 and still the same problem is happening. My phone turns of somewhere between 15%-30% everytime. I have tried re-calibrating the battery but it didn't help. Now i am thinking to sell the device due to this issue.
My girlfriend had the same problem with her HTC one M8.
I've replaced the memorycard with a new one last week and it didn't happen since. Hopefully this will solve the problem
Hi together.
I want to give an information about my experience with sudden shut off. I had this issue with my M8 since about six months now. Tried the stuff with recalibrating the accu without success.
Last thing I did was changing the accu. And now everything is all right. The power is remaining much longer over the daily use and I can bring it down below 15% without sudden death.
After charging phone to 100 it will only work for short time and then it will randomly shuts down (usually the moment u use it, like unlocking the screen or getting a call). And then it wont turn on until u start charging. Sometimes when u plug it back in battery is at ~90%, sometimes it goes back to 0. I was thinking it was battery's fault but almost every time this happens my phone does some kind of soft reset, sometimes my themes reset back to stock, sometimes my saved wifi dissapear, notification settings reset, etc. Phone has the screen replaced a year ago too if that could add to it.
You can try to revert it to stock, but most probably is a battery problem.
I've been using my phone for 3 years already and a half year ago I noticed that id didn't hold a charge when the battery went below 30 % . it randomly shut down below 30 % epsecially when I tried to take photos or use flash (that require high Amperage) . Sometimes it restarted itself after unexpected shut down and as I noticed dalvik cache was formatted/deleted. so I had to login to my google account set themes and etc. after I upgradet to 7.0 every unexpected shut down began to worry me becaouse even app data began to dissapear. So a week ago I ordered a new battery and now I am relieved . in my opinion it's 100% battery problem .
Definitely a dead battery. 3 years is a long time for these batteries. You did well to get that long from it!.
Thank you for this thread. I was starting to go loopy because I thought it may have been some app. Same issue and I need to find a battery guy.
