Won't charge above 71% - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

My z3tc LTE won't charge above 71% - anyone seen something like that? I've left it overnight, no luck.
I'm using a root-exploited 5.0.2 ROM (I downgraded from 5.1.1. which had the same problem but WiFi wonkiness). I could try stock FTF but it's a pain to bring it back to root...thoughts?

Mystery solved. I FTF'd with no luck.
Last effort was to try the Sony cable and charger - bingo! I had previously been charging with two Quickcharge 2.0 USB adapters I have (which both work fine for every OTHER device inclluding my z3c). I will need to try Sony cable with QC adapter bc man it's painful to charge without QC 2.0!

[Q] Not charging? :S

Hmmm, this is a weird one guys.
I can charge my X10 only if it is plugged in to the USB port via the computer. However, when it is plugged directly into the power socket, it does not charge. Now, I've tried two different chargers, and both work when charging another device (my iPod Touch).
I don't understand. The cord can't be broken, since it works when charging from my computer? Yet, the charger (the thing that plugs into the wall) can't be broken either, since another charger didn't work and also both have the ability to charge my iPod.
What's up? :S
Thanks in advance.
NOTE: Even when charging while off works on the computer, just not when it's plugged in (and I am not using a custom kernel either). I doubt the ROM matters (since it still has the above problem while charging when off), but even so, I'm using v061 of Wolfbreak's 6.1.3 ROM.
Bump bump, bump it up!
Do you use the original SE in-wall charger? If not, thats the problem, if yes I recomend to test with a different wall charger (eg. from another device)
May be the cable it faulty? Because the PC charging uses a less amount of Volts (to my knowledge) and the charging while connected to PC is very slow. Did you try with any other Official cable?
It could possibly be your cable as mine broke a few weeks back (Same Problem), I just replaced the cable now its fine
Guys :-/
Went out and bought a new cable, and still not charging from the power Only from the slower laptop USB port :'(
I think it may be the X10 itself..
I am still suffering from this problem And sometimes when it's connected to the PC and displays 'charging', it instead discharges

Maybe the connector in the phone is broken????
Yep your usb port is broken, mine did exactly the same thing. You will have to send it to fonebiz in rockdale, nsw. I just got my phone back, took 6 weeks to repair!

Rockdale? 6 weeks?! Not going that far. :-/ I can live with just charging from the PC at the moment.
Thanks though Sad news indeed
Is is still under warranty? It will eventually stop charging from the PC too. I was waiting for parts to arrive so maybe they have them in stock now. That was 6 weeks from melbourne and back.
Going through the same thing in the US. I was told repair would be 5-7 days, but I'm sure I'm looking longer. If it comes back within the time frame they gave me I will be pleasantly surprised. I hope you're still under warranty and do your self the favor and send it in or soon you will have a very expensive paper weight. Good Luck!
I went through the exaxt same thing. It stopped charging from the wall but could only charge from computer but eventually stopped charging altogether.
Did you try taking out the battery and plugging in with the original se microusb cabe to the wall. After 5 min. put the battery in. First time didnt work for me but then i took out the battery again and put it back in immediately and then it turned on.
try getting a usb-to-wall charger, and plugging your computer usb cable into wall.

Out of curiosity, how long before each of your X10's stopped charging altogether? :S
Because, for me, it's been longer than two months and throughout that time I've managed to keep charging it via the computer.
Thanks.

I've 3 usb-to- chargers here:
From a MP20 phone, generic charger that can't charge my phone and also can't charge most of other devices, output power and voltage are low.
From an old Ipaq(not ipad) it does charge my x10 for some reason takes longer than the original, it says on it 1000mA and 5V, I don't remember the real amp and voltage on it.
And the original one, always charge really fast(2 hours for a full 0 to 100% when the phone is ON)
Conclusion, buy and original charger if you not using one, which seems to be the case.
OR, update your baseband if possible, as battery issues are normally related to baseband are normally the cause of this errors.
To make sure you can always try to do a SEUS repair.

Sorry to say this, but your are wrong man.
My charger says 5.0V which is exact the same voltage as any USB ports(exception for some internal USB ports used commonly for bluetooth and other low consumption devices that use 3.0 to 3.3V).
The difference is mainly on the amount of power amp it can supply, the original usb cable + wall charger provides 700mA, while in the PC USB 2.0 ports provide 500mA, 1.0 USB provide 100mA and 1.1 I don't remember now, generic usb wall chargers say sometimes they provide 500mA but they mostly provide 30l0mA and sometimes they do not provide on 5.0V they oscillate between 4.6 to 5.2V a good usb port have to provide 4.95V to 5.1V any difference from this may even burn a phone if higher and not charge or reduce a battery life if too lower.
Everytime a battery is not charged up the end of 100% they battery life gets a bit reduce as next time even if you leave it to charge up to 100% it won't really be at 100%, this can only be seen by measuring the battery voltage after the charge, fully charge it must reach up to 4.7V
on the battery or something like this.

If the cable is too thin(like 1.0 usb cables they can't handle 500mA if connected to an already extended usb port it may not get recognized and also not even charge.
Laptops usb ports may not allow 500mA it different for every laptop, some work, some doesn't and others your have to set that on bios.

Always when connected to the PC it should say charging, if it did say discharging at some point then there was something wrong.
But charging on the pc is very slow and not good.

Is there any other model of charger than a usb-to-wall? Sorry my lack of knowledge on this, but i never saw a wall direct charger for x10.
Thanks button is appreciated, rsrsrs

[Q] Sony Xperia Z2 and USB Portable Charger

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded my Sony Xperia Z2 from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4, I am unable to charge it with a portable USB power pack. It starts charging for 2 seconds and then stops, regardless if the screen is on, dimmed or locked.
Charging works fine via USB cable to laptop or using wall charger.
The portable power pack charges Samsung S5 fine without any issues. Only started since the firmware was upgraded.
USB Portable Power Pack:-
Capacity: 4800mah
Input: DC 5V 1A
Output: DC 5V 1A
Any ideas?

There was only 4.4.2 for Z2, not 4.4.3 but that's irrelevant.
Only thing you can try is to downgrade to 4.4.2 and try to charge again.
If that fails you will know it's portable charger to be blamed...
Try to connect it to PC and few other phones and check what's happening...
I mean, it's just a battery, if it's working on S5 it should work on any other device as well...
Quite strange problem...
I.m on 4.4.4, and my Xiaomi Mi 10400mAH PowerBank charged it fine

Try different cable. I had one cheap Chinese, it started to break off close to the USB plug. Phone said that it was charging, but it wasn't.
Ok. Seem to have gotten to the bottom of it.
Its not a connection issue as the USB cable fits tightly and firmly in the same way as the cable that came with the phone. IT does not move or wobble.
I think its behavioral.
Looks like when my battery is less then 30% and I try the cable that comes with the USB charger it starts and stops charging in 2 seconds.
But when I try the factory USB cable that came with my phone and a different thicker USB cable it charged fine.
But once it reached above 50% I could use the USB cable that came with the charger to charge it to full charge.
Its as if the phone requires a larger current draw when charging under 30% vs when the phone's battery is at +50% or over.
Is this possible?
I'm just guessing here.....
The thinner USB cable that came with the charger must have some current loss maybe due to the quality of the wiring.
Its Output is 5V 1A and my understanding that is the minimum amount of current required to perform a charge on this phone.
I'll keep testing it. Phone is currently at full charge. I'll let the battery get to under 10% (probably take 2-3 day) and then perform some scenario test and keep everyone updated. One thing I would like to test first is using the USB cable that came with the charger but using my laptop as the power source vs the portable charger when the phone is under 10%.
Thank you everyone for all your suggestions.
Will keep you all posted.

The phone model is D6503
Android Version : 4.4.4

This answer doesn't have anything with my post...
I just said, there's no 4.4.3 for Z2 (at least not official)

The OP probably made a typo and meant to say 4.4.2 as the version prior to 4.4.4

Very weird problems with charging

Hi,
my Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300) recently started to be very hard to get it even to charge a little...sometimes I was forced to charge the battery manually by taping +5V and GND cables to the battery because the phone would just refuse to charge.
I suspected that the micro USB socket in phone is corrupted, because I've sometimes tried 6 different USB cables and none of them even worked for a few seconds. Then after struggling with it, it SOMETIMES started working.
I've also tried 5 different chargers (original 1A HTC Charger, 2A Samsung charger, 1A iPhone chargers, some different 2A charger i just bought because i thought it may finally start working)
And so yeah, I've bought a new charger with new usb cable with 2A at output, hoping it will work. But guess what? It didn't even charge the phone for a seconds, it charges other phones, my old HTC phone, my sisters Galaxy S4, but not my S3...it is not the cables fault (im 100% sure) because i have it connected and charging to my old HTC charger (1A at output) and i just plug the cable to the new 2A Charger and it is not working anymore...
The weirdest thing is that most of these chargers (Except the new one) were all working with the phone, but stopped after some time, like my old charger stopped working so I tried another one - it was working, but after trying it again or few times later it just stopped...
Any ideas? The battery is holding power long enough I think, so I dont think it is corrupted, what else could cause this?
Edit
Suddenly, after my phone dropped down to 7% and I had problems with connecting it to the original HTC charger (1A at output) i tried the new 2A charger which never worked with this phone, and BAM, it is working now and charging very well.
However, what started happening now is that when im charging the phone (through USB cable) it keeps spamming "Docking station connected" and going into docking mode, which is very annoying. I guess there is some problem with the socket? :/

I can see your assumption, but have you ever tried another battery ? Just for checking, to make sure...

Oukitel K10000 Max Charging issue

Hi,
So I've got a brand new phone very recently: less than 7days ago.:
I'm overall very satisfied, the battery holds charge for 3 days of normal use etc, but I'm having an issue with the charging;
I'm using Oukitel's OEM Cable and wall adapter and get approx 25% with 8-9h of charging. It's worth noting that the "flash charge" worked the first time, getting me from 30% all the way up to 60 in maybe 2h (supposed to be a ........9V2A/12V 1.5A charger), I then unplugged it to get to work. Data pins do work well, I'm able to transfer files and the phone recognises if it's plugged over AC or USB. I'm having the exact same speeds as my 5V 2.3A wall adapter, so i'm thinking the flash charging doesnt work at all anymore.
I have factory reset the phone 3 times now and unplugged the wall adapter for exended period of times to empty capacitors.
I'm really out of ideas and don't really want to send it back because of the cost and time (almost took a month to get there!)
I've sent a message to the support a couple days ago but no answer yet, I think it's hopeless. Anyone having better ideas than me?
I'd really appreciate ANY feedback, even if 20% get me through the day easily.
Thanks for your time.
PS: The phone doesnt heat up AT ALL while "charging" with any of my adapters, including OEM, and i'm having no other type C cable to test with.
I guess the Charger's data pins could be the issue, I have taped data pins of my usb cord and the phone thinks it's charging over AC everywhere, I don't know what to do to verify this though.
(edit) By touching the USB cord, i've noticed window's disconnect sound, I think the cable could be not stable enough and "disconnect/reconnect" with the charger often enough that the flash charge doesnt kick in, I'll try different positions tonight and keep this updated.
OUKITEL K10000 max
That was the cable, bought a fast charge adapter and cable and it now works. Using new cable on old charger works. To anyone having the same issue, just buy a new cable. z

Question charging fault ?

phone was working fantastic and charged no problem but since the latest update ( may be a coincidences ) when i plug it into my samsung 30w charger it failed to charge and my laptop charger only works on one side and its flashing on and off , but when charge at work via the car charger its fine ? now all these chargers worked till other day when got a update now nothing also can usb-c charg it via laptop itself, has anybody had same fault or is it update problem just before i send it off for a fix , cheers ps also checked port for objects but clear ,
don't think it is the update. Mine sometimes does not wanna charge in the car but at the same time android auto is working over the cable. Never failed on my 65W wall charger that I usually use at home or during my travels.
Did you try rebooting the phone? One day in january my phone wouldn't charge over USB (still detected the charge, showed the charge icon, just not getting juice) but charged well over wireless in the car. I rebooted it and everything was fine again.
