HELP, am on V41 with boeffla V10 Omni, I woke up unplugged the phone after 10 min its a bit hot, then after using play music for another 10 min the song I was playing stopped suddenly then few mins later the phone shut down and I couldn't open it again, the phone was a bit hot, I left it to cool tried to switch back on but no use, plugged it to charger then I was able to open it and noticed a sudden huge battery drain from 80 to 19% I bought a new battery, but now my odd problem is that my wifi not working properly as yesterday before I slept, it has a very week signal that I have to be sitting beside the router to get connected, any ideas please???
P.S: I wiped everything, I installed stock 4.1.2 and 4.3 but nothing happened, I also turned wifi saving mode off but still the problem persists. Would also like to add that with emmc check I had yes, Insane
If you are back to stock then try another wifi source, otherwise you have a hardware fault.

Has anyone had this problem?
After three trouble free months, my phone has developed a a very strange problem.
After charging, it behaves as if I'm constantly connecting and disconnecting the phone to a PC. It bleeps whilst showing the battery being connected to a charger and then imidiatly acts like its been disconnected by bleeping and running media scanner on both SD cards. It also shows that its connected via Kies, even though all this is happening whilst only being connected to a charger!
I've already done a full reset, which helped for a few days before it came back. It normally sorts itself out after a few minutes but the period before it "calms down" is getting longer. This morning I removed the battery for an hour but it continued in its "loop". Another, possibly related symptom is that as soon as the battery is installed, the phone boots up without being switched on. The same thing happens if I shut the phone down, it just powers up again!
Any thoughts?
had you if ever dip the bottom part of your phone? sounds like short-circuit issue or I maybe wrong.. try bringing in on to the nearest service center for warranty
Sounds a plausible theory but as far as I can tell, it hasn't got wet. Its been doing it for a few day now, so I think if it was damp, it would have dried out by now.
Thanks anyway.
I got the same problem. Let me know if you figure it out.

my friend had a simmilar issue and it was damage to the usb port , it kept thinking it was connecting to the pc or charger , it also wouldnt charge when plugged into a wall point and went into usb mode and vice versa when he put it into a pc
he sent it back for repair and they sent him a new phone
it may not be what you have but it does sound simmilar
i would try a few things like a reset , format the mass memory , install firmware again , dont restore back ups but set phone up fresh like you would do if you just bought it , then see how it goes , it could just be a corrupted file or system error that could be fixed bya full wipe and fresh install or it could be like my friends and the usb could be on the way out
on the topic of usb ports i do think they could have been better designed and iam hoping mine doesnt break as its needed for hdmi out , charging , docks , etc etc
Thanks Buxz,
As a follow up, I put the battery back in after taking it our for about 3hrs and all seams fine. I know that it isn't a permanent fix but I think it points more to software than hardware, which in a way is more annoying as its all about trial and error, as you described. A mechanical fault is more straight forward.
I just dread having to charge it again!
Regards, Woolly.
UPDATE
Charged it overnight and no problems when disconnecting it this morning. So far!
If anything, the battery life it better than before the problems. The fact that removing the battery for 3hrs broke the cycle of connect/disconnect, makes me think its soft/firmware related.
Woolly.
I'm in dire need of some help. My phone is a stock unit that has had no modifications to it at all. It started shutting off randomly a week or two ago, usually when I would use GPS, bluetooth, or the internet but it does happen when everything is turned off (GPS, bluetooth, and wifi) When I turn the phone back on, the battery would be totally drained displaying to a critical level. This would cause the phone to shut back off. I can repeatedly turn the phone back on, and usually one of the times the battery will be displayed with more charge and allow me to use it, but if I did anything other than make a call the phone would shut back off. This problem does not occur if the phone is plugged in and charging (never shuts off randomly and the battery does not drain). I have already tried factory resetting the phone multiple times and that hasn't seemed to help. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried a new battery? Sounds like your battery is on its last leg. It could also be battery contacts on your phone, make sure they are clean and actually touching the battery when you insert it.

I second this, I had the same issue a couple years ago with my g1, a new battery made it run like new again.

what ROM are you using? are you overclocked? I had similar problem with some roms overclocked, my phone would shut down, restart, battery drain was horrible!! during calls would be the most annoying it would turn off and was walking have a conversation with the plastic by my ear .after some research and testing the problem was my overclocking was unstable at 1.2 + running on 1ghz after a while the problem went away
Your phone will restart or shutdowns randomly..if
1.You overclocked GPU or CPU to high performance.
2.You flashed any unwanted zip files for performance or somewhat.
3.You make the phone very heat[Main Reason].
Instructions:
1.Avoid playing high end games for long time(Like me).
2.Avoid playing high end or medium games above 20mins. while charging.
3.Don't allow your phone to heat.(Due to temperature).
4.Try Re-flashing your current Rom(if you installed custom rom).
5.Try flashing your phone.
6.Check your phone completely for viruses with a better antivirus.
7.If the problem is after installing some apps..Try uninstalling that.
Thats all i Know!
happened to me before more than once I agree that you should get a new battery but if you have to wait in the meantime, what I did was:
1. pull the battery out let the phone cool down
2. I put it back in and turned it on
3. If it turns on okay drain the battery till it shuts off by playing music
3. repeat 1 and 2 and if it turns on okay again repeat step 3
4. if not then let it stay off and charge it to maximum and it should be useable
I did this because I assumed that the phone for some reason wasn't reading the battery levels properly so I made sure that the battery was fully drained then charged it to max to fix that. It worked for me but its just to make the phone useable as I still needed a new battery. It drained very quickly and I had to be charging even 3-4 times a day on heavy use but if I only made phone calls and texts it got me through one day.
I rooted my phone with Cyanogenmod 11 (nightly) two weeks ago, it was fine, no issues. On monday morning phone was fully charged, but with very little to no use it was completely discharged in 7 hours. When I connected phone to a charger (original and working) it didn't want to turn on, it did NOTHING, black screen. When I borrowed battery from my brother's S2 wich was charged almost fully, it booted KitKat but it showed that the battery has to be recharged. I put it back to brother's phone but it showed only approx. 15% less than before, it was okay. I tried charging my phone with brother's battery, but it was incredibly overheating , not like when you play games, I was afraid it was going to blow up. It is overheating even when phone is turned off and charging or even when normally turned on, on battery. I tried enabling airplane mode, I even installed stock ROM with Odin, but it is still overheating. It is not overheating near the camera but on the left side of the screen, I don't know what that chip is there for. Stock ROM now gives me error after 2 min. saying "Charging paused, battery temperature too high." Now my battery is discharged and phone is unable to charge it, only black screen again. Could this be done by rooting it with Cyanogenmod ? it was the only ROM that I installed through the step-by-step process on their site and for couple of days it worked fine. Is this a hardware issue that would occur even if I wouldn't root my phone, also is it somehow fixable, or would I need to change motherboard completely ? PLS HELP !

That.
hey,
i have been playing around with a few custom roms on my s3, tried to install CM11 messed it up, and installed a stock rom back over it, the phone was working fine on CM, but the battery would drain quick, random restarts, signal dropping ect. this carried on even when i flashed the stock rom back onto it, i have managed to find a kernel that has fixed all these problems
The only problem i have been having is when the phone is turned off and charging, i cant turn the phone on, if i unplug the charger the charging screen stays on, it turns on normally after i take the battery out, and also charges absolutely fine when its turned on.
*EDIT* S3 I9305
i was wondering if anyone had any idea what this could be?
Ok I've had the Moto Z for a while and its a great phone. Or it was until a few weeks ago. In the space of a couple of weeks a few official updates were sent to my phone and thinking nothing of it I updated as requested. The last update has seriously messed the phone up.
Problems since the update:-
- Battery drain now has the phone running out in about 10 hours. This problem seems to be intermittent, the majority of the time it happens and drains the phone quickly but not all of the time and usually its Android OS using between 25-50%. Also safe mode has no effect on the problem.
- Phone speaker stops working. Start the phone up and its working, but after a undetermined amount of time (no more than a hour or so) the speaker no longer works. If I get a call I have to turn on speaker phone to be able to hear anyone. Reset the phone and it works normally, only to happen again soon after.
- Phone charging stops working. Again start the phone and plug in the charger and it works fine. But after its charged, again after a undetermined amount of time, charge no longer works. Plug the charger in and the phone indicates its charging with the little light coming on at the top. But nothing else on the phone indicates its charging and the battery continues to drain. Reset the phone and suddenly it chargers normally. Same thing then happens again given time.
What I've tried to do about it:-
- I've tried running in safe mode, which makes no difference
- I've tried a full reset, which makes no difference
- I even unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom OS (Lineage). Thinking that obviously this will wipe out the new update from Lenovo and the phone would have to work properly again. But no, nothing changes, somehow Lenovo have done something beneath the OS that's causing these problems.
The question:-
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or have you at least seen these issues before?
I fail to gasp what is the purpose of the topic and I don't see a question.... If you're looking for compassion, I think the internet is the wrong place.
If you're sure that the problems is the updates, downgrade to the latest version that worked well for you. Since you've already unlocked the bootloader, try any of the variety of roms available here to verify you don't have a hardware problem.

The point of my post is obvious, I've got a issue with my phone and want to know if anyone has seen this issue with the Moto Z before and if they have any idea what may fix it. The question is right there near the end:
"Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or have you at least seen these issues before?"

Honestly don't know how my post was unclear at all, but I've gone and tried to make it even more clear with a quick edit, hope that helps.
I have exactly the same problem. For me it occurred after updating to nougat. So fare I tried nearly everything. Disabling nearly everything to the bare minimum, custom ROMs, resetting, trying to flash only parts of the Android 6 firmware (modem, Bluetooth, DSP) since a complete downgrade is not possible, using all kinds of battery tools with a rooted device, using custom kernels... I always ended up with a constant battery drain of 3 to 8 percent per hour no matter what I did. Same in flight modus. Since under Android 6 the device didn't show this behavior I think that the problem must be somewhere in the firmware beneath the OS level. An the cruel thing is that sometimes without a reason for maybe an hour or two my moto z doesn't drain an works fine so that I do not believe in a hardware problem.
Thanks for the post. Yeah it seems like something has been changed underneath the OS. I know that sometimes memory config gets changed with newer Android operating systems (at least I think so?), but could that cause all these problems?
BTW, do you have all three of the problems I mentioned? Battery drain, sound stops working and charging stops working?
Since in this condition the Moto z is not really usable for me I switched back to my old phone and I am not using it that much as a daily device, I cannot really tell about sound or charging problems. So far I did not notice those problems.

I feel like battery life is a bit worse than with M, but I didn't experience anything as bad as you did. I switched to a custom ROM after updating to 7.0.1

I've never seen anything like it before. Its so random as well. I mean yesterday I rebooted and then charged the phone before I left for Football at 4pm. At about 11pm that night I heard the battery low sound (45% of the battery had be used by Android OS..). First thing I thought of was that usually the phone wouldn't still be making sounds by now. Since as I said earlier usually the speaker stops working along with charging within a hour or so of a reboot and this had been over 7 hours without a reboot. So I tried plugging it in and it started to charge. But then when I woke up this morning again the sound was disabled and it won't charge, it just took longer for the problem to occur this time..
How can we stop asking to update to this patch?
I has already disabled this on the developer preferences but still asking every 10 minutes
Any suggest please
Mine even worst. Battery drain fast and mobile away very warm. It suddenly reboot and shown low battery. Battery drain from 50 to 3 percent in a second! Have you guy come across this?

Yep I've also had that as part of my problem, though it had only happened a few times over the course of the month so I forgot about it with all the other problems I mentioned going on.
Basically my phone would be sitting on, say 40%, and after a reboot it would start up in the single digits.
I recently tried changing to a custom kernel to see if maybe that was causing the problem (I'd already tried changing OS). But all the problems are still there using the new kernel. Think my next step should be to try to go back to a 7.0 Android version. Are there any custom Android ROMs using 7.0?
It is said that the Motorola Manager can rescuer lost data even if the data has been covered on phone , is it true ?
Just curious what came of this. My Z, unrooted, has started running crazy hot and the battery life is not good. 6-10 hours. When I connect it to my Anker PowerDrive 2 in the car, the battery actually discharges faster or I get the slow charge warning.
Hi I have exactly the same problems as the op and tried resetting to no avail.Its driving me nuts.
Short update about the massive battery drain problem: like I wrote above, in the past weeks I tried everything from custom kernels to custom roms, resetting, deleting and so on. Nothing helped. So I went back to stock and didn't use the phone the last weeks. Today I read in an other thread about bluetooth problems that a fix for the not working bluetooth was to activate flight mode, restart the phone and deactivate flight mode. So I activated flight mode, pressed the power button for 10 seconds or so until the phone restarted an deactivated flight mode. And now the absolute strangest thing happened: for the last 5 hours the phone lost 0% battery in standby with wifi and lte on. Since I did all the mentioned things above without any effect I do not understand this at all but right now I think that this could be a (temporally) fix also for the battery drain problem.
