Battery dying at 40/50%

[stefan_96]

So for a while my phone was dying at around 10-20%, so after doing some research I came across a few threads which told me how to fix this, which was calibrating your battery.

I tried that, and in fact that made the problem worse. it is now dying at ~40/50% as shown in the photo below..



I've also noticed that it takes longer than usual to charge..

Can this be fixed or is it time for a new battery? I've probably had the phone for around 2 years.

My guess is time for a new battery.

I have the same issue... I don't actually need a new phone... For me the HTC m8 is good enough. However for last 6 months my phone started dying at around 20%. I'm not sure how much it would cost to replace the battery though, got a feeling that it's cheaper to get a new phone subsided with plan...Have you tried cache wipe method help with your battery levels? That could sort the issue somewhat?

A shop local to me wanted about $60 to replace a battery, including the price of the battery itself.

Thanks for info, i just made a separate post about battery replacing...that doesn't sound too bad $60...

Glad to have seen this thread. Wondering why my phone has been dying at 25% (and screwing up the memory when it does). Guess it's more motivation for me to get an HTC 10.

I usually fix everything myself, might give the battery a go and give the M8 to my wife for a music player.
