Hi
I flashed lineage 14.1 OS over the manufacturers stock ROM about 3 weeks ago. The Lineage ROM had issues BUT the battery was still charging normally. (Worth noting that the battery was also charging perfectly fine on when the manufacturers Rom was still installed). Seeing as Lineage 14.1 had a host of other issues, I then flashed AOKP's version of Pie with GAPPS Micro. At first, the battery would charge until 53%. However after it drained to 0%, it has not charged properly since. (6 days or so).
A) Battery is about 6 months old, so relatively new
B) non-charge problem started with installation of AOKP version of Pie
C) I have used a couple of battery health apps,which reveal the following:-
c.1) Battery health is fine
c2) Voltage 3.5V (essentially 0% charge)
c3) amperage averaging around 30mA
c4) Battery Manager and other apps state that the battery is "connected but not able to charge"
D) I have tried deleting the batterystats.bin file, which had no affect
E) I have tried using recalibration apps off Google Play Store with no affect.
F) I have cleaned the USB port and tried different cables, also with no affect.
I'm going to try flash another OS shortly. Other than that my last idea is to purchase a new battery. HOWEVER just thought I'd ask if anyone has any other bright ideas as to what might have happened to a perfectly functional battery? Another thing worth mentioning is that the power button on this device doesn't 'click' anymore. So one cannot feel that the button has been pressed, you have to press harder to ensure that the device powers on. It was like that for a long time before this battery problem started but thought I'd mention it. Can a faulty power button be causing a massive power drain on the battery OR be stopping it from charging?
EDIT - when the phone is off and plugged in to the charger, the battery icon shows it as "charging". However if I leave it for a few hours and switch the phone on again, it still reflects as 0% charged and only switches on with the power cable attached. Also I cannot get into recovery mode, after shutting down, unless I leave the phone plugged in and "charging" for a while. It's like recovery mode needs at least some power from the battery.
