Desire Eye lagging when battery is charged 75% or more

[Android Central Question]

Hello,

My HTC Desire Eye is lagging really bad when the battery is charged 75% or more. When it goes below 75% it runs normally. Any ideas how to fix this?

I did reset it but still get it. I also tried to root and noticed it is happening when in TWRP as well. It seems to be getting worse and worse, to a point where there isn't a pattern anymore, ie it happens when it is 35% at times and other times when it is 75%. I read somewhere the battery is interfering with the screen.

Does this also happen in Safe Mode? How to turn on safe mode on Htc Desire Eye

Yes, it is happening in safe mode, and it's getting worse. It has to be less than 40% charged to work smooth. After 3 years, I think this phone is dying so I bit the bullet and ordered a new one. Wouldn't be so bad if cell phones weren't such a rip off... Oh well.

It sounds like a failing battery, although I've never heard of it happening the way you're describing it -- that a full charge is causing a problem.

Which phone did you order? I agree, the prices of flagship phones have skyrocketed lately. But keep in mind, there have been a lot good midrange phones recently (like the Moto G6 line, and phones from Nokia and Honor), so you don't necessarily have to break the bank to get a decent phone.
