OnePlus Nord CE 4 randomly shuts down at 20–50% battery. Anyone else experienced this?
I'm facing a weird battery issue on my OnePlus Nord CE 4, and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing.
The phone drains normally from 100% down to around 50%, but below that it becomes completely unpredictable.
It has:
- Shut down at 50%
- Shut down at 29%
- Earlier it used to shut down around 20–25%
The percentage where it dies isn't consistent.
The strange part is that after it shuts down:
- It won't turn back on.
- Pressing the power button does nothing.
- I have to connect the charger before it will boot again.
- After booting, it usually shows 0–5% battery and then charges normally.
I've already tried quite a few things:
- Full discharge/full charge cycles
- Battery calibration attempts
- AccuBattery
- ADB diagnostics (
dumpsys battery,batterystats, etc.)
Software diagnostics look normal:
- OnePlus battery health shows 95%
- No battery hardware errors in ADB
- No overheating
- Phone works perfectly above ~50%
So I'm starting to think this isn't a software issue but something related to the battery, battery management system (BMS), or power management hardware.
Has anyone with a Nord CE 4 (or any recent OnePlus phone) had this exact issue?
- Did replacing the battery fix it?
- Was it something else?
- Is there any known OxygenOS bug that causes this?
I'd really appreciate hearing your experience before I take it to a OnePlus service center.
