So a new issue has arrived with my phone where i can have like 40% or so battery left and my phone will just die. And when i turn it back on it says my battery is completely dead. This is weird and annoying the heck out of me. i was just on the phone and i still had 25% left. I was trying to send a text message and realized my touch screen was acting wonky. Areas i tried to touch would act as a touch somewhere else on the screen and other issues. I have another admire and it doesn't have this problem

Its either you need to a full charge or get a new battery because if the battery is draining like that its normally the battery or the battery not getting enough charge.

But the same thing happens even with the new battery i just got. Also when i use the batteries with my other admire i never have this problem which is weird

My phone does the same thing at low battery. Impossible to text or dial at low power. Have to plug it in. I changed to a bigger battery and have severe issues at low power. Will be at 5 percent for an hour then shoot to 45. Back to 1. Up to 20. I know it is almost dead when the screen misbehaved. Try plugging in when it does this and see if that helps boss.

What's happening to me doesn't happen when i have a low battery. It might be the game i'm playing i don't know

Now its getting really weird. Noticed I was down to 18% about 2 this afternoon. Went to Metro store for new battery after work. They didnt have one. Just got home and battery is at 71%. What gives?

That's a weird thing i noticed to. I have too batteries right? So Lets say the one im using is at 30% but the other is at like 99%. If i turn my phone off and switch batteries it'll still be at 30% and while the screen is off it'll slowly rise to 99%

Like Diego said, try wiping the stats. I am sure this is something you have already tried. But it wouldn't hurt to try again. Sorry to assume it happened when your battery was low, as mine behaves the exact same way when the battery is dying. This phone is turning into a real work of art. I had to get another battery due to extremely low battery life, and I have to wipe the stats again. I have sat on the phone for two days with it bouncing back and forth from 1 percent to 45. I have a hard time texting and dialing due to the touchscreen acting as if I am pressing everywhere but where I am touching, and now it is harder to make and receive phone calls without my phone rebooting.

Back to the issue, try wiping the stats, and keep note of what you are doing when the phone starts to do this. If it only happens when you play your game, then it could just be the game. Let me know how it goes. I know I don't post often here, but I have been around a while. Always willing to sacrifice a phone or two to help out. :)
