please try a full reflash that worked at my u20i atleast...
sometimes my phone is overheating on charger too. the fix that works for me is to simply unplug and plug cable again, than it's working fine...

But it would not be good for the battery as people say whenever u plug in the charger then dnt plug off till the battery is 100% charged.

I have encountered this problem too. I turned off live wallpaper and fency widget and everything worked fine. You could turn them on after full charged. I find live wallpaper really drained battery fast.
Thanks for the suggestion. I dnt use live wallpapers so it is not a problem. But for widgets You mean to say that before charging I should remove the widgets and then add them back after every charge. It would be hectic. Or there is a way to 'turn off' the widgets.

I wouldn't worry about that on Lipo or Li-ion batteries... in fact its good for the first 10 -15 charge cycles not to charge them to full (it makes the battery last longer.)
If it were an old Nimh or Nicad then yes.. best to make it flat and charge to 100% not the case with new batteries, feel free to top them up when ever you like and un plug them befor they get to 100% (only rule with Lipos and li-ions is not to run them completely flat.. they don't like that)

so i bought yesterday my Xperia S, im pretty happy bla bla bla...
Now, my phone was branded with a carrier [Telcel] from México, so I found a tutorial to unbranding, flashing with flashtool a generic UK firmware....
First was charging normally, but after that the phone dont charge, i left it all the night and only gets to 50%, and now im putting bacj to the charger and its getting 1% - 4% and then go back to 1%, so anybody knows why happens this? how to solve it?
Thanks
Maybe your phone is a faulty one ? contact the carrier, they will most likely replace it with a new one
Does it charge offline??
Press volume up +power untill you feel 3 vibration that will reset and turn it off then try to charge again.
If you succeed to charge it you will have to flash another firmware.

Before flashing, do a factory reset. But I suggest you to contact the carrier
Well after all your recomendations, i do the power + volume combination technique, and a factory reset (now with Pc companion...), and the battery start to charge, now in 4 hours I get 80% LOL but i think that its discharging a little quick, in 4 hours unplugged battery is now 40% (and im not doing anything with the cellphone...) so tomorrow will go to the service and see what they can do... I hope they give me a new one ¬¬
Hey friend ok i register at xda forum only for your issue
Ok look. Before year i buy my X10i it was and it is "the perfect device for its age". I had issue with battery like you. I did research here and there and ... I solve it with doing the following.
Charge the device to its max (until stop charging). Once is charged don't unplug the charge and remove the battery. wait 10sec and put it again. You will see that device will start charging again. Do that like 3-4 times for next 2-4 days and you will see improvement (at me).
From beginning my device battery was fully discharged in 15hours standby now it keep 2~3days .
Wish that help you a bit.

Ohhh thanks for only register for that , well tonight i charge the device all noght again and it get 100% of the battery , the problem here is that in the Xperia S you cant remove the battery , right now im charging again and its a little annoying because the battery goes 1%... 2%..... 1%..... now its like 3% but it goes too slow......
I read that this device in half hour have to be charged almost to 100% isnt it???, because i think that 30 minutes i will get only 10% or something like that ¬¬, i was trying not to go to the technical service but i think that i will have to go

Yes i have another sony ericsson (mini pro sk17a) and its the same charger.... the same situation, even tieh another cable and in the laptop... the same
Soooooooooo continue with this sadness story... i go on tuesday afternoon to give the cellphone in the service center and they told me that they need to check it, so I say ok ok no problem, I go on Wednesday in the evening and they told me that the cellphone was without failure, that its charging and its ok, they told me that "upgrade" the system version (that its not true... its the same ¬¬) and well.... that be all, I made a question ... How many time take the phone to reach 80% (they are giving me with that charge) ???? and they told me: (with a face of surprise ) like 2 hours.... and I say: It's too much isn't it?, and the women said me that for this type of phones is normal..... so i want to make a question for you... how many time take your Xperia S to charge??? since 5~10% to 100%???? for me 2 hours to get 80% its a lot of time.....
Accordign to the respondes in here i will valorate to go again or leave it in that way....
BTW the cellphone its now charging but its too slowwww for me.... I plugged it at 12:30 am and still have 30% of battery, 40 minutes later its 47%....
How are you charging?
- Via USB or via power charger?
- Is Phone turned on?
- What temperature is the Phone? can be be hot? If it is hot the charging might be slower due to battery protection.
- Aren't there anything consuming battery? What do you see as main contributors in the Battery usage?
Well sorry for take a time to respond but i wanna try and wait a couple of weeks to come back XD

- I have try both of them, via USB take a loooot to charge, and if I start to play even it starts to discharge.... x_X via power charger if im playig with it charges too slow... but charges, it takes 2 - 3 hours to get 100%, if I turn off the screen charges faster, but if i received a message or something the screen turns on and besides the brightness is almost minimal it seems that take more time to charge.....
- Yes its turned on, when its off it seems to charge faster but... well i'm off like 2 hours for all my friends or family
- Its cold indeed, right now its charging and its cold, not heat at all
- The main contributors are:
the screen... obvisuly 56%
Android system 12%
cellphone in wait 12%
standby phone 6%
wifi 5%
facebook 3%
and mcafee 2%
as you can see nothing strange
I dont have brightness to 100% its like 30% when its on and only wifi turn on
So i want to ask again to you, how many time take your Xperia S to take 100% of charge??? its normal this behavior...?

For me, it takes two hours. That's without me using it during the charge period, wifi/data/bluetooth off.
One question: which charger do you have? EP800 or EP850/851?

2 hours well it seems to be "normal" then, i will have to turn all off and see how much time takes... for me its too much i get used to have my mini pro (sk17a) get charge in 1 hour 30 mins or even less with the screen turn on and wifi & bluetooth on too
I have EP800, seems that EP850 only its given in a few markets, México its not the case
Ok, go back to the service center... and buy the charger they used in your phone...

You said that service guys tested the phone and it is ok, and you tested the two chargers with another device, right?
If yes, change your charger cable with another one. Try to use brand new, they are not to expensive. And try to find some brand name cable like Samsung or Nokia.

I have 2 chargers, and 3 cables , one from my xperia mini, one that i bought from ebay (want to have one in the car for emergencies of a dead battery) and a new one that come with the S.... I'm using the one I bought and the xperia mini.... maybe thats the cause but i really doubt it...
Same issue on Xperia P
I have a similar issue on my new Xperia P since day 1. When I charge my phone using the charger, it charges upto 50% +/- 5%. It will not go beyond that even if the charger is connected for hours. If I charge it from a PC through USB it goes to 100% without any issues. Also, if I charge it through the charger with the phone turned OFF, it charges 100%. So this appears to be a software related issue and not something to do with the charger.
Any suggestions?
*My phone is currently on ICS. Though the issue existed even with GB.
Well, let it pass a week and lets see what happen, mine fixes by itself, now just take 1 hour and a half to charge it , but in the beginning was a pain in the ass

Sory i dont answes your question but i really must ask why from 100 to 0. Afaik i even worse discharge this type of battery to 0. You can even broke it. Just charge when you need and life time be same.

Draining to zero is bad for newer batteries. And charging them for only a few moments is fine. All newer phone also have smart chips so when they reach 100% the stop charging usually letting the device bounce to 95 and back up.

actually, it does not drain to the zero.. just a minimum value. if it were to drain to zero it would never charge again.
i'm talking basic chemistry here. not sure about the exact Li-ion batteries.
@OP, my old sony phone, you could shut it from the service menu you get after clicking a set of combination of the keys..
there must be a similar combination for the new ones. i am on cm9 so i cannot check.

battery has its own electronics and it never go below safe limit, and charging from 0-100 is good for my battery as far i can tell from service menu where actual measured capacity is shown, normal is 1500, when i charge whenever i like, plugin and plug out several times a day capacity drops even to 1400, when i charge and discharge 0-100 100-0 capacity comes back to 1500
i had xperia arc before and after 9 months battery was like new, sometimes it dropped to 1425 but after few full zero zero full cycles it was back to 1500

Look, right is we have mobile phone for using, for serve us. If i need go out and see 50% i give mobile on charger. Who really want have death mobile? And when mobile turn off and you give him recharge too late, like after you come from out you can really broke it. This already happen on my old se batery. And still i dont se any cool reason to do it when lifetime battery is practicaly same as i read on many same about li-pol li-ion battery. Anyway if there is no other way to disable charging, you can also use something like airdroid and copy files via wifi

There is no memory effect on our phones' batteries. They do not lose their capacity like this at all. I do not know, how/what you did, but this is not correct.
You could go to Google and search for Li-Ion and Li-Po type battery myths and reality(facts). You will find lots of useful information.

Use airdroid. It connects your phone via WLAN with your pc using your router.
You can use any webbrowser on your pc.
Try it, a really great app.

Just got an S3.
Do you have any pointers to charging and battery practice tips?
Battery came half-full. I charged until full, it just turned 100% and green led.
I now intend to use it until drained, then charge it back up overnight.
Does this full/drain cycle sound like a good idea to you? Would you have drained the battery from new to empty? Same thing, right? As long as there is a pattern to touch the empty and full ends?
No point in those first charges. Mine came at 40% and when it went to 15 I charges it. NO problems or whatsoever

-never bump charge

It doesn't matter with these modern batteries. Just charge it anyway you want, use your phone anyway you want. Won't make a difference.

+1 that 20% is a load in of crap, that means you would not be able to plug your phone in to the computer for file transfer unless you have -20% battery cos the computer will charge it.

It should be allowed to charge for 7-8 hours on the first.
Hello, dear XDA people!
I got my Z Ultra today.
YEEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, had to do it..
Now, I come from Note 1....and I have a few questions...
one of them is about the first charge...
I tried to read as much as possible, but on the Sony website and the paper manual it says only how to regularly charge and that the green light means it is over 90 percent... AND it says that before first turning Z Ultra on, even though it comes with some charge in it already from the factory, the phone should be charged prior to first time power up...
Now, I did charge it, but it is only showing green light, and no percentage (Ultra is off, I haven't turned it on yet)...
How can I know it is charged fully?
I don't want to leave it plugged in too long, cause I read that batteries don't like that..
new charger
for new phone or smart phone ,first charge is 8 hour,ok

just fill it til full and detach it after full, no need to leave it for 8 hours. as per my experience, first charge will not retain battery level for long. it will come empty fast, This is normal, so just charge it again after drained for a while (maybe 50%) and it will be normal after that .

modern Lion batteries (lithium Ion batteries) don't have a memory. They can tend to think that they have a limit if you only charge it to say 80% all the time, but a full empty and then recharge will annul that. So there is no memory chip or anything.
So charge it to what ever you want..
Also FYI, the green LED turns on when it's reached 90%.
So no need to charge it until 8 hours?
Because i just buy Z Ultra. So raelly need to know for the first charge..

...just use it right out of the box. Newly sealed devices has about 45% battery life. And it was about what my device had when I unpacked it.
I did not charge it. I just went ahead and started using it until I needed to charge it.
I cannot quite remember if I rooted the device on my first cycle or if I charged it before I started.
I discovered that if you use a note 3 charger or tablet charger you phone charges faster obviously due to more amps.

.........no you don't have to sit there with a timer and wait 8 hours on your first charge. The text refers as a "recommendation".
Your phone will not explode nor will it bend or void your warranty if you only charging it for 7 hours and 53 min or 3 hours the first time.
