Hello
Last week i bought the phone, and used it till the phone battery was empty. I tried to recharge the phone, but i wouldn't go on, only the red light blinking. I had the phone charged for 2 days, with the og charger, no result. Looked like the phone was dead.
Today i tried it again, still no result. All of a sudden the phone turned on and was charging. It is now on 99% and working just fine
Should i contact HTC?
I'd see if it happens again if you let it drain again.
If so, take it back to the store, they will give you a new phone if you can reproduce the problem there.
I have also experienced this issue when letting the battery go till the phone shuts down. I usually have to just unplug the charger and then it will boot up again.....but if i don't unplug it will not turn on and just blinks red.....
One night I fell asleep doing a nandroid back up (Yes I flash till I drop), I had the phone on the charger while doing so. I woke up 6 hours later, was still in recovery and with the battery fully charged.
What does this have to do with the op? Nothing, but I thought it was pretty cool.
I see these stories all the time, STOP DOING IT!!!!!!! You aren't suppose to drain batteries till there completely empty. You are doing damage to your battery when you do this. The battery has built in protection circuits and when you completely drain the battery the protection circuits can't operate. This may be the cause of the battery failing to recharge after a complete drain. That is why resetting the battery by unplugging the charger or removing the battery and reinserting usually works. I don't understand why you would ever need to use the phone till it shuts off. If that's the case bring the damn charger with you or invest in a second battery.

It happens when you can't find a charger, sometimes you don't think you'll be out as long, and end up in a dead zone, BAM dead battery.

Well me i am always running around in the streetz. With my Evo 4g i would walk around with 2 extended batterys and 2 regular HTc red batterys. I am a heavy user texting, phone calls, internet all day long. and some times i leave the house at 9. a.m. and don't get home till like 1.a.m the next morning. i will be getting that 4000 mah battery shortly.
I have a problem where if the phone is off and charging, it wont turn on. I have to unplug it, turn it on, and then replug it.

Hi,
The past few days my X10 is not charging very well.. It turns to 100% and if I look to it the next morning it is about 15%. And now it doesn't charge to 100%. It's very annoying now.
What can I do?
Bro! i think its a battery problem - if your battery level is let say 15% (or in status red) try this, take out the battery plug your x10 to the charger (while battery is taken out) and then while you have your x10 plugged in to the charger press and hold the power/sleep button youll feel it vibrate after the vibration put the battery back in, then your phone will boot up (if it did not boot up just turn it on your self) if your battery is faulty you should see the battery in 75-90% if this is the case you need to replace your battery it happend to me 2 weeks ago im experiencing reboots while using the phone with charger but then i noticed the battery life is so short like literaly if im at 100 then after playing 1 single game (angrybirds) for10mins on it it'll drop immediately to 50.
Hi all,
I am posting here after hours of research on my problem. Unfortunately I have not found anyone else posting similar issues so I decided to make a thread. *sigh*
okay so, I bought my samsung vibrant (t-mobile) from a seller on kijiji. He let me know ahead of time that the battery life "sucks" .
okay so, here is my problem. I have two batteries that were given to me when I purchased the phone.
1 standard samsung battery, and 1 generic ebay china battery. He told me he wasen't sure if the "china battery" worked.
okay so, the samsung battery did not last long at all, even with minimal use, ensuring that background applications were closed etc etc, I did my best to ensure optimal battery life as I had read so many tips and tricks on this forum many times over before.
But, I left my phone to charge one night, and the next day my phone wouldn't turn on, instead when I press the power button, a loading circle would display on the screen and it would show the battery charging screen when your phone is off, and it would flash on the screen for oh about 3 seconds then go black.
so I switched the battery to the ebay battery. it was working alright, I downloaded a battery application to monitor how much it was actually charging etc.
on the first day, the max power it seemed to charge would be about 68%.
by the second day it was around 45%
the third day, 23%, and now, today, my phone battery has died, I had it charging, and I managed to turn it on. I checked my battery application, and it said the battery was at 0% and it was attached to the adapter in an outlet charging but not holding the charge I guess. Well, I turned the phone off, and the same thing that happend with the previous battery is happening with this one, that loading circle thing, and the battery charging indicator flashes on for 3 seconds and no charge.
I purchased a new battery online, I am just waiting for it to arrive, but I am beginning to wonder if this is a problem with my phone or if it is a battery issue?
As of right now the phone wont turn on because of the "dead" battery.
any diagnostic help would be greatley appreciated.
it's most likely your battery. unless the usb is broken. have you ever connected your phone to your usb? the batteries the ebay gave you sounded like they needed to be replaced anyways. i suggest you go on amazon and get the anker 1800 mah battery.
Most likely you are going to need a new battery. If you know someone with a Vibrant or Captivate, maybe borrow their battery to see if your phone boots up with it. If you have a battery charger only, so that you can charge the battery outside of your phone and insert a fully charged battery, see if that works.
The Samsung advice they always give is to remove the battery and hold down the power button for about a minute. Then reinsert battery and try again. GL
My friend has the same problem with his Vibrant, his phone will charge to maybe 75% max. Except he has bought 3 different batteries (2 oem and 1 aftermarket) and they all have the same result. I've been trying to help him find a solution before he "breaks the damn thing" lol
I'm starting to think its a factory defect or something.
My appologies if this question has been answered somewhere else, I could not find any other threads with a similar situation.
My phone was dropped and ever since then it has not shown me the right battery level. It will charge on USB or AC up to 99% and stop. I connected it to AC power 30 hours ago and it never gave me the green light. This is after a full drain and then recharge. It did however stop charging at some point. I noticed no light was on, red or green, turned on the phone and my battery had gone from 99% to 41% in 22 minutes. I plugged it into USB and it appears to be charging back up. My widget now shows 84% with 4334mV (i dont know if this is right or not).
It is not an issue with the battery. My wife has the same phone and I swapped batteries. Mine works fine in her phone and I have the same problem with hers.
My other issue is that when I use the phone off the charger it will not show me the level accurately when it is draining battery. Example being, I unplug the phone at 99%, within 5 minutes I'm down to 92% (i know this is not unusual because of how the batteries charge). But, I will stay at 92% for hours and hours, with moderate use of internet, phone, and apps. Then it will fall from 92 to 60 ish in a few minutes and do the same thing. Sometimes it will tell me that I'm getting low (under 15%) other times it just turns off a second or two after the notification. If I plug in the phone and turn it on it shows me 1% and charges up to 99%.
In the few minutes I have been typing my phone charged up to 91% with 4336mV.
I was running ViperRom ICS when the issue started. Restored it back to Stock with no root and the issue remained. Now I am running Mean Rom ICS with the same issues.
I have cleared the battery cache in recovery too.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you kiss it. your phone will love you and it'll be all better. NOW KISS IT AND TELL YOUR PHONE YOU'RE SORRY FOR DROPPING IT! LOL!
Based on my experience with batteries of all kinds, it sounds like one of the cells may be damaged. Best bet is to get a new battery. They are decently cheap for a good one. Im actually looking for an extended unit myself. If you come across one, please PM me.
Thanks
That was my first thought but when I swap my battery with my wife's battery I have the same problem. Both batteries work fine in her phone but not in mine.
Sorry to bring this up again, my bad. But seriously you are not the only one with this issue.. I had the same problem since stock, swap battery didn't help either.
Hi there anyone have any ideas been using my Z2 since last Friday and yesterday for some reason the device will not charge to 100 % only goes up to 96%
I have tried a different charger and still get the same problem , Also downloaded Sony pc companion software and run the repair tool to see if it resolves the issue and still same problem
Try discharge battery to 1-2% (some advise even till auto-off device) and then fully charge with bundled charger.
Mine does the same thing, don't worry.
The reason this happens is that once your battery is at 100%, it stops charging automatically, and the device waits for it to get down to 99% before starting to charge again.
Is it possible that you just keep catching it at 99%?
Mine will charge about 1% every four minutes until it hits 99%. Then that last one percent takes a couple of hours. This is according to the power/percent list in gsam. It's done it consistently from day 2. Day 1 it failed to charge beyond 80% overnight.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
thanks for your help I will try a full discharge and then try charging it and see how it goes
Finally battery is flat the phone turned off , charging it now with the sony charger which came with the z2 , will let you know what happens
I did a live chat with sony and they say the device is faulty and needs to be repaired
I have rang my network provider and they will send me a new z2
96% charge and wont charge no more!!
would really like to understand what is the solution to the problem.
This is really annoying . Please need all possible inputs.
Do you think its a product issue and needs to be replaced with a new piece.
Mine charges, but...
My Z2 will charge to 100%, but after it gets to 95% the screen turns on, and stays on.
If I push the power button on the phone to turn the screen off, the screen will turn off for between 0.5-1.5 seconds, and then turn itself back on.
I have gone through quite a few settings on my phone and can't find anything that might affect this other than perhaps "Night Mode" - which I have disabled.
Please help, my provider refuses to replace my phone even though I got it brand new from them and it's only 21 days old... I do love the phone, I just hate this issue - I can't leave it charging over night, or run the risk of having the phone over heat (it happened once, this is how I first found out about the problem, I had to leave the phone off with a fan on it for a good hour before it was cool to the touch again.)
@The Midnighter
I think you have a faulty unit, mine (2nd one) doesn't even overheat unless I have severe CPU/GPU intensive apps running. Never had a charging problem either... Get it replaced mate
I always charge the phone power off, when it is full charged I get the vibra notification and the phone is 100%.

I forgot to mention - you reminded me.
When I leave my phone off and plugged in, it will charge to 100% - however I have to do a HARD RESET every time I go to turn my phone back on, after turning it off. (Holding power and volume up) or it sticks on the "SONY" screen and will not advance.
Since xperia S there is a feature which helps battery keeping good condition
Its charge to 100% and turns charging off till 95%
Its all becouse integrated battery
This is not a bug or problem

It is indeed a problem, because the screen is staying on and causing my phone to over heat - it once over heated so badly because of this I had to leave the phone off for a very long time.
The phone doesnt charge at 100% and the magnetic charger not work

I have the exact problem. The phone work ok for a few days and then stop charging at 92% and the screen stay on. I plug the charger in the night and in the morning was only at 92% and hot, very hot.
A few days ago I bought a dock charger and an usb cable to plug in the magnetic lateral charging port. And with both chargers the phone shows the charge icon for a second and desapear for another second and repeat the loop.
I try everything in the software level. Restore the firmware using pccompanion and also flash the lollipop firmaware but the problem persist. Just not tried delete the battery stats because my phone is not rooted yet.

Did u manage to fix the problem? Or did anyone here manage to fix the battery charging issue? Mine charges to 78%, then sometime 85% then hard-reset - 91%. Cant charge anything above that! : <
There's no real fix, you can only hope a rollback to KitKat might help. See this lengthy forum post on the sony forums:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Lollipop-charging-bug/td-p/965384
Spanning from april until right now...
Mine only gets to 70-80% on an overnight charge.
Mine charges and discharges constantly, I try change the cable, the AC adapter, the usb on my computer, the micro usb port to magnetic... Always is the same.. and another times charges too good.
Some times charge to 99% and discharge to 98%.. so I disconnect and connect again and charges to 100%
Maybe it's a Lollipop .232 problem in some devices?
Hi! Same problem here, sometimes my phone doesn't charge to 100% and I have to unplug the charger and plug it in again to get 100%. I think it's pretty common, but if your phone only charges till a low percentages and just doesn't charge further, it might be so that the phone's afflicted with the Lollipop charging bug. We can only wait for Marshmallow then
