I just discovered that my TP is draining battery even when I shut it OFF.
It was fully charged 2 weeks ago and properly shut down but when it powered on today the battery was down to 28%.
Anyone having the same problem?
Some devices do that, I have no idea how.
I once fully charged my 1 month old Xperia X10, did a factory reset, turned it off and packed it. A week later when I met with the guy I was selling it to, he turned it on and it was down to 4%.
That sucks, can anyone test this as well?
Thanks
I started my TouchPad today after a week without using it and i didn`t realise a battery drain. (maybe a little bit but i still had 98%)
That's strange, anyone else ?
Same for me I would charge it leave it and come back the next day and find some of the charge was drained but I had big issues with the hp cable I switched to a blackberry mini USB and it seems to be a lot better now I keep seeing this a lot I wonder if the hp cable is just faulty I might be wrong though
I know you are not really supposed to bump old threads but has anyone found a fix for this? What we are talking about is if you have your touchpad with some type of charge, hold the power button, click Shutdown so it is fully off, then turn it back on(you will see the flashing hp logo) after a couple of hours and see how much battery life you have left.
I thought I saw another thread where they said it might help to put it in Airplane mode before shutting it down (not really sure how that would help since the device is off but I will test that next chance I get.)
Anyone else have a solution?
Hi
Try shutdown TP from recovery or WebOS.
Sometimes when I shutdown TP from CM7/9 after some time it's turn itself ON again.
After flashing to CM9 my problem disappeared.

If you shut down in moboot it should solve the problem.
well i had the 4.0.4 edition on my phone and it work perfectly fine until 2 weeks ago that started to close off at its own even with full batery and when i turned on it shows no batery at all as if it was totaly empty ! if i waited or remove the batery and open again then it shows the real batery remining ! after some investigation when i open the wifi or the gps after a minute it shut downs completly after a sort stuck !
i also upgraded to 4.1.2 just a minute ago with full format and the same issue apears !i dont realy know what that problem is and i really use the wifi or the gps and now i cant use my phone at all ! is there any solution to that or someone with that problem !? thanks
I had the same problem, mate. In my case, it only occurred when the phone was not plugged in. Also, the battery seems a little "chubby" on the back, I've heard ppl say its a symptom of a busted battery. Already ordered a new battery and as soon as it arrives, will test and give you feedback.

Chubby battery = Bad. Something in it ruptured, should stop using it.
Either that or do not charge it to full or leave it charging, it may blow up.
A few days ago I did an automatic update from 10.1 to 10.1 RC2 through the built in option available on devices running cyanogen. Later I found out that the HTC one x+ can not update the kernel, thus giving me problems with the camera (It would freeze the phone etc). I knew I had to flash the kernel manually but I left it alone as the problem didn't seem like much at the time. Now I have installed many roms to this phone, from AOKP to android revolution HD. So I am fairly experienced with this sort of thing. I should say that I have no mods etc installed, Kernel I am using was the old one before updating because I thought it would also be automatically updated threw the update.
Since the update my phone has been recharging at an incredible speed when the internet is off. Now the problem happened this morning, after unplugging the phone from the charger (The original charger but with a different usb cable) the phone ran extremely hot. It was mostly underneath the camera but then the screen and then the entire phone. I mean I felt the heat when it was in my pocket! I checked the phone and to my surprise the battery hadn't gone down much (maybe like %2).
So I thought the best thing to do is re calibrate the battery and restart the phone. But doing that, when I turned it back on it had drained to about %20! And afterwards it was draining fast super quickly. something like %3 every minute. But I thought nothing of it and decided to bring along my charger to college, thinking I could just charge it up again when I get there. This has happened once before and when it wouldn't turn on, recharging it fixed it all.
So I got to college and now I cant turn the bloody thing on! Its been plugged in for 2+hours but there is no light or anything. It wont go to recovery mode either by pressing vol down + Power button.
I am thinking the only way I can fix this thing is to take the phone apart and car jump the battery using a cut up usb charging cable. Is there any other way? if not how would I go about doing this.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am a student and I don\t have much money, and I still have the phone for another 6-8 months on contract!
Hello everybody.
Since a time ago i was using the superdragon's rom and everything worked fine, but one day my tablet just stops the charging and my pc didn´t recognised it. After that i decided to retorn to the stock firmware everything went ok, but now my tablet don't charge when is turned On just when is off and the pc still don't recognise it and the battery drain is very high sometimes even feels the tablet very warm. I don´t know what to do.
Thanks for any help
-sorry for the bad english -
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.
