So, here's the situation.My phone, an HTC One M9 is 3 and a half years old. In the last few months, it's been shutting off suddenly. Battery indicator is anywhere between 45% and 91% (average is about 70%) when it happens. I'm pretty sure it's the battery and even a factory wipe didn't help. My attempts to recalibrate the battery did not help. When I charge it back up so it can boot, it reads the % that it was at when it lost power, unless I let it try to boot then power off a few times. (ie. I try to reboot it, watch it get into the process, then die) only the will it realize it's at 0%. But even a full charge does nothing to help it.
So it's been shutting off randomly alot. To the point where I've lost data because of it. (nothing big, but things like bookmarks, settings, etc..)
So I have 2 options.1. Replace the battery. That's 500Nok. (like $70)2. Get a new phone on a payment plan. (an additional $37 a month for 2 years)
My biggest unknown is: "How much damage does random poweroffs do to the other systems of a phone?" Like, has it damaged the cpu or ram and I'll only have problems down the line?
What do you all think?
