[Q] Battery on lollipop 5.0.2 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just curious if anyone else has this issue. ive been on lollipop 5.0.2 for awhile most recently on eXistenZ and i have had this really annoying issue with all the lollipop builds out there where the battery charges to 82% to 92% give or take and then the screen turns on and the battery charging icon flickers on and off which then keeps the screen on so wont charge to 100%.
i quickly tried (30 mins) PureX 5.1.1 rom and i might have the same issue because it flickers on the charge icon a few times then carried on as normal couldn't really test it as i need a working phone for the rest of the day.
I rolled it back to kitkat today and the issue is gone. i thought it was a fault with the battery but i changed that out for a brand new one also im using the original charger and cable so its not that.
if anyone has had this issue let me know please

If ur problem solved with kitkat means it should be with Lolipop then. But the bug u mentioned is not in my rom. I am always charging from 0% to 100% without any problems..
So did u flashed any stock lolipop ftf? Try it and see...

Its definitely a lollipop issue was reading in to it and a few other people have the issue with it most on Sony phones one post mentioned it something to do with battery saving stopping it charging past 95% but cant find anything else about it. Ill still keep looking as its bugging the hell out of me
But I will most likely stick with kitkat never had any issues with it and my battery life is bearly twice as long

Phone suddenly shut down

Hi,
I have a big problem with my phone. Sometimes it simply shutdowns just after booting. And sometimes it shutdowns if I use it in a normal way (like listening to music or browsing on Facebook) And the battery is not at 0%. It happens at each percentage. This afternoon it even happened at 85%.
The only I thing I noticed that this is not happening if the phone is connected with the power supply.
Have someone of you the same problem? Can someone help me?
Greetings
Hey there!
i also have had this issue a few times, i hear its a motherboard issue i cant tell if that is the main problem tho..
anyways try reinstalling android, i havent has any problems on my phone since i did that
Good luck

Thanks. I already changed my ROM. From CM7 I went back to Wolfbreak. But there is the same problem.
Perhaps it is a battery problem? Should I buy a new battery?
Hi,man i have that problem too,
So,i see that if i plug my charger with no battery and pull the back button then the green light appear like in flash mode.so if you pull the battery when you have this led on,your battery indicates wrong values,in another way if your battery have 5% and you pull it with this strange flashmode then it indicate 88%.
Another symptom is that you not have the long vibration when you pull
out the battery and re pull on
Another one is if you remove sim and sdcard and boot the phone then you have the right battery values and no suck on your batttery for exemple,
in this mode my battery stay at 98% 4 hour O_O
The major problem is that your phone is in flash mode all the time and eat buttery and give wrong values and give WLOD at boot,normaly one before lock and one after.
I don't know what do that but give massive battery drain,massive network usage,and
Constant reboot.
I suspect virus or something like that.
Don't lose your time to try to reflash firmware or different rom cause that not solve the problem,
I reflash 1.6 2.1 2.3 and many custom rom with no success
Tell me if you have the green led when no battery and charger pluged and pull back key repetitively for appear this led
to ensure that you have the same problem.
If I find a way a post here for sure but I think that my phone is dead :-(
I know this is a bit old but I'm necro'ing it just in case it helps someone.
I had the same issue with my stock Optimus One, I installed AOKP and it worked like a charm.
Now i've had my Xperia Neo V for a while now with a custom version of AOKP and had no problem until recently, haven't installed anything new just a couple of updates, filled a new sdcard with music and it shut down out of the blue.
if you have shutdown problemes, it can be motherboard issue, ROM or kernel. Try reinstall android OS, and if you still got shutdowns try different kernel or ROM. I tested many combination and I didnt get any shutdown with Zmod ROM + Doomkernel ( I dont want to promote this rom or kernel, just writing my personal experience) . After changing kernel and ROM you could have batery drain, or it can looks like that. Wipe battery stats and recalibrate the battery. System need some time to create good new battery stats. 2 charging cycles and is good in most cases. Battery drain depends on that how you using phone so charging every day ( once per day) is normal.
It sounds like the 'Old Battery' issue! LiPol/LiIon batteries only have a life span of about 2 years. X10 is older than that now!

[Q] Xperia turning off... and off... and off

Hi, I got a very annoying problem.
Since a few weeks ago, flashed a ROM and when I've tried to use the phone, it keeps turning off randomly, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. So, I tried to take it back to the clean original 2.3.3 ROM, but it keeps happening. ¿Any idea? ¿Any solution? Please, help me.
Oh, something else, it only happens when the phone's used with the battery, when it's attached to my laptop and used as modem, the problem doesn't appear.
I had the same problem, it said android system shutting down. I just bought new battery and it works.

I think, it's the most logical option, but I was trying to get some feedback first. Thanks.
Maybe calibrating the battery.

go back to stock and see if it helps! try to troubleshoot the problem! Also, don't install any apps!
There are instructions on how to calibrate your battery in the first post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1489214&highlight=calibrate+battery
If the problem is the battery, you might find that after calibration that the battery drains faster than expected, and still shuts down, only this time it warns you that it's gonna shut down. This would then be the true battery drain. If that is the case, you might just need to buy a new one anaway.
Otherwise, I don't know what else could be causing those symptoms. (Other than an electrical fault, from accumulated damp or something)

thanks so much..............
What happens it's that the phone shuts down suddenly, the message appears for a seconds and it's off. Wait for a few seconds, try to turning on again and sometimes works for some minutes, and sometimes it's keeping turning off, and off, and off. But, the battery level seems to be correct, I mean, when I turn on the phone after one of these sudden shutdowns, only drains the logical ammount of battery for starting use the phone.
I think... if the problem never appears when it's attached to the laptop and charging constantly, and magically appears when I used the phone with the battery, it's probably just a battery issue, right?
I have a similar problem to this, my phone randomly shuts down after showing the 'Android System shutting down' message but sometimes loses ALOT of battery. Last night it went from 78% to 8% after shutting down :/ I noticed it happened more often when im playing games or taking a video, things that take up more battery. When i keep it plugged in it keeps awake so the problem stops but i cant keep it in all day every day. I dont really want to buy a new battery until i really really have to, but I have had the phone and battery since the x10 first came out about 2 years ago, so anyone any other ideas? Thanks

Yeah tried that but it didnt seem to work :/
could it be hardware problem like broke battery or bad connection on motherboard?
Could be pal are u within your warranty (sony (Ericsson) it has a 2 year global warranty but u need to ring ur network provider and ask them to put u through to se
Sent from my X10S using XDA
Yeah this happened to me before about 6 months ago, so i went to my provider (3) and they sent it away to Sony Ericsson and they sent me a whole new phone but I didnt want to do that again really, but i may have to. When im not using WiFi or 3G then it works fine, and when its plugged in to the charger it works so i guess its a case of not usuing the internet when im not near a charger
I have the same problem.
My X10 reboot random when using 3G (Wifi is still OK) and Gaming. Now i'm on Stock 2.3 and stock kernel and....wait. (Flash some ROM and change the new battery....but not solved )
Anyone help us !!! Plizzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe your solution
I had the same problem sometimes with original kernel after 1 year of using my phone.
Then i tried to install a new rom, and i was thinking the problem was solved. But it was not...
I finished by trying the X10S (v7) rom with DoomLord kernel (1113mhz) and this problem was solved...
I tried some kernels and this one was stable with a good battery life and no shutdown problem. With some other kernels i had this problem back.
So I think that kernel could be the problem.
Infortunately, with the rom X10S v8, Doomlord kernel cause issues with wifi (unable to get ip adress). So now i use kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1 and no shutdown problem anymore.
*Maybe the solution is*
Try to change your kernel with one of thoose :
- kCernel here (in "2. kCernel-SE-stock-mod-v1")
- DoomLord (search fo x10_gb_DooMKernel-v06-1113_wifi.zip)
Note :
- With this two kernels, you'll have to download appropriate wifi patch and install it from SDcard via xRecovery
- don't try to install X10S v8 if your bootloader is locked
So, try to flash your X10 using flashtool with Doomlord kernel
Tell us if it worked, i hope it solved your problem as it do it for me.
voltage
Hi,
I have had this issue too, for the last few months. No matter what ROM/Kernel, batt stats cleared, etc, still the same. Can idle all day, but as soon as I use 3G, GPS, or use any intensive app, she shuts down.
As an experiment I installed a battery monitor that plots graphs of % charge, temp, voltage, etc over time.
I had a close look at my logged graphs and have noticed that just before each reboot, the voltage seems to dip drastically. Battery charge is fine, does not seem to matter. but a sharp drop in voltage occurs. Increased draw for the more complex tasks (3G, GPS, etc) seems to be tripping it up.
As the Battery is now 2 years old, I figured it is just starting to fail? And iv noticed lots of people are suddenly coming out and complaining about this issue.
I just ordered a few new Batteries from 'Ebay', will see how we go!...
peace.
[INFO / SOLUTION] Suddenly shuts off with red LED.
Good to know:
The X10i/a have now reached an age, where battery failures is very common nowadays. Specially if one got the device early on or just after the launch.
Symptoms of a failing battery:
* Device suddenly shuts off, even when the battery have several percent remaining.
* Device drains fast, even when not used.
* Device might just shut off for no whatsoever reason when doing something that draws a lot of power, and will restart just fine.
* Device has a surprisingly fast charge time from empty to full.
When the device shuts off all of a sudden, it's followed by the indicator LED blinking red, rapidly three times, and might repeat this at restart attempts.
Sometimes it takes several tries before the device starts up again. Battery just needed a few minutes/an hour of "rest".
There's nothing wrong with the device.
Just get a fresh replacement battery and it'll work just fine again.
But beware:
There are many fake batteries out on the market, claiming that they have higher capacity, yet very slim in size.
There's a simple rule when it comes to battery capacity:
More capacity = larger in size, which might need a special back-cover. There's no escape from that.
If one would happen to find a such incredible slim battery with super capacity, the battery security circuits and/or chemical makeup probably have been circumvented/changed, and have a high risk of catching fire and/or explode when charging/discharging.
Yeah thanks for all the advice and sharing your problems. My phone does reboot alot when im using 3G or taking a video. Recently my battery would reboot, drop alot of percentage and then increase percentage without charging...magic I dont really want to buy a new battery because my new contract starts in june i think, but maybe il have to. Good luck for everyone else dolving there problems
Also, [email protected], i am on doom kernel and i still get reboots :/

Sgs3 charging problem (takes too long charging)

Hello.
Recently I started to have a weird problem with my Sgs3. It takes way too long to charge. And when I say too long is like, I go to bed at 1am with 9% battery and it charges all the night and at 8 am when I wake up was at 85%, just happened today these stats.
The problem I have noticed is, back when it has no problems charging it just goes into deep sleep to charge and usually was good in about 2 to 3 hours. Now, every time I charge my cell phone never goes to sleep, in the battery screen just appears it as active (with screen off) all night long when I plugged it into the charger. And there's the problem, some days it just charges normally and others I get this problem. Been trying to know if is something I do to make this problem but I just can't find it and I need help. I wiped dalvik cache, hard reset, everything and still the same.
I'm using última rom 9.0.1 (same problem with 10.1 and 11,I just like 9.0.1 better so I put it back) with siyah kernel oc 1.6ghz.
There's an screen of my battery. Notice its active with screen off and was charging ok, and suddenly just started to charge wayyyyy to slow, happening tons of time this.
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate post, I searched for a problem like mine and didn't founded, just ppl with no charges at all.
Thanks for your time in advance

As you've got Siyah, try setting the charge current up a notch.
CyanogenModded Very China-like, from my Samsung Galaxy S III
LG Familyguy59/Beatsleigher
looks stupid, but, samsung original cable seems to be bad for charging, the opposite, only samsung cables are good for data transfer, try to charge with another cable (I use a sony one) luck
In general it looks like indeed Samsung's cables aren't well-made and after some time they're losing some "power".
Luckily we have an international USB standard (micro usb?) for SGS3 so you can try really different chargers, from cameras, other phones, headphones etc.

Sometimes the issue is with the charging port also. Like, if I use a multi-plug or an extension board then my SGS3 also charges very slowly, even if there's no other device connected on multi-plug or extension board. You can still try Galaxy Charging Current app from Google Play Store and check your phone's charging current when you're charging your phone. It should be near 1000mA as that is the stock value.
Hit Thanks if I deserve it :good:

Also, it maybe possible that since you are on a custom rom and not all customs roms are stable. So, it might be possible that with your rom, there may be some bug which isn't letting your phone go to deep sleep mode properly when it's charging. Try reflashing stock rom & kernel to rule out software as your problem.

I am still trying to work this one out, removing Facebook app helped a little but not enough, Battery Doctor has also helped but only around 10-20% improvement from the sudden poor battery performance.
BTW I am currently running the Baltic generic version 23.1.A.0.690 of Lollipop 5.0.2.
So apart from the last resort of doing a factory reset it is a work in progress
my university
I think I may of sorted my battery issue but will know for sure in a few days.
I reflashed back to my providers Vodafone UK stock KitKat firmware and got the Flashtool to wipe the data at the same time I had to do this because for some reason I had lost gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. The I reflashed the Baltic Generic Lollipop firmware also wiping the data and in the last 24 hours since doing it the battery performance looks to be much better and after 5 hours from last charge I still have 1 day and 6 hours remaining
UPDATE:
Looks like I may of sorted my battery drain issue.
My phone had a full charge from 3am-1pm (don't ask why 3am when I wanted to go to bed earlier then that) after 3 and a half hours I had only dropped 4% and still had 4 days left and then had about half hour of game play using bluetooth to my PS4 controller and still have just over a day's charge left although with lower usage this evening will probably improve.
When I had first installed Lollipop beforehand I couldn't get more then 12-15 hours between charges.
I thing I have forgot to mention was a bug I noticed before wiping and reflashing with Lollipop.
The night I decided to wipe and reflash I had noticed 2 things, first was that the accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS stopped working and then the 2nd thing I noticed after deciding that I could wait until the next day to investigate the first issue was that even though the screen would turn off the backlight remained on which made me decide to do the flashing that night instead of waiting.
But I have been thinking that wiping down and reflashing back to KitKat might not of been needed and could of just wiped down and reflashed Lollipop which could of saved around 20 minutes but due to the first issue I thought it best to go back to a known good firmware first
15 and a half hours so far with 16 hours remaining,
So an estimated 31 hours since reflashing I think it is looking like this battery issue can be solved by doing a CLEAN FLASH of Lollipop

Odd battery issue

I noticed something strange that is happening in the last few days: as you can see from the attached graph battery dropped almost instantly from 20% to 5%.
I had some suspects it wasn't normal so I pulled it out and reinserted and bam: back to 20% and discharging regularly.
What can possibly be the culprit?
Is there something I could do to avoid this issue?
I'd appreciate to hear from you guys.
by the way I'm on a H840.
Also, this happens
I have battery problems too. I'm with v20s stock rom. Before flashing nougat battery lasted about a day. Now only lasts half a day. Maybe i should downgrade to marshmallow... Can anyone help with 20s battery consumption? Is it the same to other users? My model is H850. Thank you in advance.
I have the same issue with battery but it's a new genuine lg battery.I was thinking of downgrading to marshmallow but that might not resolve the issue.I could go custom but I can't go without fast charge
same problem bro i think that's in battery performance

Seems quick charge on LOS has been solved with Typhon Kernel. Same with camera focus.
