Sudden Battery Drain Issue XSL

[akshaykarwa]

Been using the Xperia SL for quite some time now. Faced issues before, but always got it sorted. Now I'm facing a more severe issue. BATTERY.

It started yesterday..My battery was around 34%. I had to take a screenshot, after taking it, the battery went down to 1% and the next thing was Android was shutting down or whatever. I booted it again, battery was the same(1%).

Now, heres the funny thing..the second I connect the phone to a charger, it starts to charge from 34% or from wherever it starts to drian. Even before, whenever my battery used to be around 14 pcnt, it starts to drain & within a couple of seconds its 1pcnt. I'll post the screen shots in a while. In the mean time, is there any solution? I was planning to flash the phone, but would it really work?

Thanks in advance

I flashed my phone yesterday..Just faced the problem again.

I guess I'll have to replace the battery. Asked the service center the price for the same..Any idea when one can get it in Mumbai?

BA800..

Thanks & cheers!
