Anyone having an issue where the device is reporting a completely bogus batter percentage ?
My impression is that i seem to get full battery performance (24hrs+) but it slowly counts down and switches itself off no warning at about 75% (so 1/4 speed basically).
I have a unrooted Moto360 2nd Gen 42mm that was a second hand purchase (yes i know my fault if it's a dud!)
As an update to this, i took the watch fully charged off the cradle last night at 20:30, light use last night before taking off and leaving off the cradle over night. Put it back on this morning at 07:30 and at 10:30 it's reporting 92% left. Now i'd love it if that where the real case but when it gets to 75%ish it will switch off (and if i go into the long press fastboot menu it will show battery low).
Wear battery stats (pics attached) say i'm going to last for 10 days
Any ideas how to re-calibrate android wear to show a true percentage ?
Had the same. If it's new let it pass a week. Mine would power off at 15%
i have also battery issue
I have this issue too. Mine would go off at 96%, its ridiculous..
Does anyone knows if the battery stats can be wiped through ADB over bluetooth?
Same here. Mine still lasts most of a day (whole day if Screen always on disabled), but goes from 96% to dead.
The whole battery is between 100%-96%, so basically a useless battery gauge.
Mine too. I wonder if it's somehow to do with the android wear update on the phone app this week?
Same here... AW2.0, i have the watch since ~2015.
For me, the whole battery is between 100% -- 75%...
And like orbital247, a long press to power show me fastboot menu and a low battery indicator :/
Same issue here. It started about 2 weeks ago.. at that time it was shutting off at ~78%.
Factory Reset didnt help, now it shuts off at ~96%. Watch has been off charger for 4.5 hours with screen always on, and its still at 100%
Hope this is a software issue that can be fixed
I have send an email to moto, dont have high hopes of a useful response, but worth a shot.
UPDATE...
It may be too early to tell, but my watch appears to have magically fixed itself last night. It died at the usual 96%, but I noticed after it was on the charger for ~1 hour it was now showing 24% (which I haven't seen in a couple weeks). The watch is now showing 1.2% drop/hr instead of 10 days expected uptime.
My uneducated guess/hope is that the email I submitted to Moto resulted in them pushing a fix to my device - this would at least give hope to others experiencing the issue. I still have not gotten a response from Moto, but will update if it has anything useful...
Have you had a chance to see if it is better. I do find it hard to believe though that they could push something down to the watch without an update.

I contacted amazon and described the problem. They instantly offered me a full refund. I bought a Huawei classic watch 1. I'm pretty pleased as I enjoyed a lot of use with the Moto and now have a brand new watch with full 2 year guarantee as well.
i have the same problem. showing between 93-100%.
Hi guys,
I'm going to return my watch as a guarantee, this one expires tomorrow :3
Just wait now...

Exact same thing happened to me. My watch has been shutting down at about 72% for the past two weeks. Neither a full charge/discharge nor a factory reset helped.
So I just contacted amazon (I still have one week of the EU-required two year warranty/guarantee left) and they immediately offered me a full refund.
I have the same problem on my watch (I bought it on 03/29/2016 on Amazon) for some weeks. I suppose that my watch can't be refound by amazon ?

Depends on where you are from. In the EU, you always have a two year warranty/guarantee. In the US it's different I think, most of the time one year.
But you can always try contacting support. In my experience Amazon is very obliging.
damn, i got same issue.
my battery percentage only shown 100%, 97%, 95% and 92%....it's hard to track remain battery level....
so sad....

Not sure if it's software or others cause the issue...
at least there had no any issues after i got AW 2.0 on April this year; util September, battery percentage issue suddenly appeared....during the time I didn't do any updates....
I just tried an update popped up on last Sunday, still same issue...
nah, I used it for almost 2 years..no warranty repair for sure...
sad for long term support on this product....maybe because moto is not moto anymore....

I read a statement from Nokia that said there would be a December update and a January update to address the battery life issues.
I have just got my Lumia, so am I right in saying we have actually received both of these? Mine is on the latest 11500.
Is another update known to be scheduled or is there no further info?

The 11500 update is the January update. Apparently, there will be another update with camera and audio fixes in the next few months...
I guess we have to wait for MWC. At least I hope that they reveal some information about future updates as the salesman that offered me the Lumia promised tethering in a future update.

I was afraid of that!
My battery life has gone to **** and I can't understand why. Diagnostics is uninstalled, I've been in background tasks and turned them all off. Everything else is the same.
It makes me laugh as well that the phone has poor battery life, but when you put it on charge the touchscreen goes dicky! So keeping it plugged into a power socket all the time isn't a great workaround.
Yeah, I've been experiencing random battery drains.
A few days ago, I went 2 days and 6 hours before needing to charge. But today, it dropped about 50% in 6 hours... Sometimes it draws tons of current when idle, sometimes it doesn't. I think it's a similar case with the Lumia 710 too. Give Nokia a few months to get used to WP7 and how it works and I'm sure we'll see some better firmwares over the rest of this year...
The battery fix broke my battery. Was great before.
Went from 24hrs+ to 14-16 hours.

Is it possible to roll back? If you did, would you then end up with other issues that are just as annoying - were there other critical fixes?
There's definitely something weird going on at a low level. Mine has been really bad the last few days. I reinstalled the diagnostics to check figures. It's improved today, only lost 10% since 8am this morning although I've barely used it, but at least that's reasonable - I stand a chance of getting through the day.
I recently ordered two new OEM batteries for my Atrix 4G, equivalent to the battery I was replacing – at least they appear that way. When I installed the new battery, my battery indicator was showing that the phone was at 15% after only a few hours. I charged a couple of times with the same problem occurring, I tried the second battery. When the same thing happened, I decided just to let it die all the way and charge fully after. My battery level hit 1% and stayed that way for hours and hours of use. When I timed the battery life, it was actually very good and it appeared the battery meter was just reading wrong.
I tried several full discharge and recharge cycles and tried disconnecting the battery while the phone was plugged in until the ‘?’ battery appeared and reinstalled it. The same problem occurred again and again. Next, I rooted the phone and tried the battery recalibration app. Results were the same. I have followed this up with discharging and recharging the battery fully several times but the problem still remains.
I have now installed an app that reads the voltage on the battery. It reads ~4200mV when plugged in and fully charged. It will discharge to somewhere between 3200mV and 3300mV before the phone shuts off and it takes upwards of 30 hours for this to happen. This has proved to be a somewhat effective way to actually estimate my remaining battery but it is still driving me nuts that the meter is off. Is there anything I can do?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the reply. I installed the app a couple of days ago. I have tried the first option "Run the Fix" a couple of times, once with the battery stating it was at 100% while plugged in and once in the middle of the day while not plugged in. It has not seemed to do anything from what I can tell.
I have not run the second option to Fix battd yet because I had to figure out how to install Busybox, which I have now done. I will try that option tonight and report back.
Thanks.
You should also read about the purpose of the app and how to use it. It is all in the OP of that thread. There is no point in running the fix just whenever you feel like it, it is meant to be run only right after the battery is done charging. Running it any other time will most likely just mess up the stats/percentage even more (not irreversibly though).

I did "run the fix" when my battery was fully charged overnight and rebooted the phone. I used the phone for a couple of days and it did not improve the situation. Last night I charged to 100% again and did the "fix battd" option. Today, there has been no improvement in the meter. I will try charging to 100% again tonight and try the force calibration option with the "run the fix". Is there any other way I should try to run it?
It will always charge right up to 100% and 4200 mV, the problem is the percentage will drop rapidly once unplugged all the way down to 1%. Once it hits 1% it will stay there and I can keep using the phone through the rest of the day and even overnight and into the next day before it actually powers itself down.
Yeah, I've heard of a few other people having the same issue. Sadly the battery fix app isn't going to help in your case - I don't really know what will, I'm not sure if there is a fix. Try searching the forum, this has definitely been mentioned more than once.
Hi. I just started using the Atrix today. I flashed the official ICS leak. But strangely, my battery meter isn't going above 50%. Can i use the app (from the link given above) to solve the issue>?
thanks.
Dunno. Why don't you try and see for yourself?
BTW I don't think running the leaked ROM as a daily driver is a good idea at all, especially if you only just started using this phone...

Oh ok. I will try it for a couple of days and see. So far, it is amazing. Fast, responsive, very very little lag. Just this battery thing is a little weird. BTW, it did go ahead of 50%...i hope it doesnt fall really fast.
And I have a NeXus 4 as my main phone. My office gives me one phone, hence the Atrix.

I have done some research and have found that this has been a common issue for users of the Droid X. There are two revisions of the BH6X battery, SNN5880A and SNN5893A. Many users of the Droid X purchasing the 5893 revision of the battery report having the exact same problem I am having. They have solved it by using the older 5880 revision. They suspected that the 5893 was made for the Atrix and the 5880 for the Droid.
The problem is, I have the newer 5893 revision on both new batteries which, according to that info, should work for my phone. I do not have my original battery that I was replacing with me at the moment but I can check that model number tomorrow night. I only found one other thread where a person had this issue with the Atrix here. There is no real answer on how to solve or work around the problem though and I am not having any luck finding others with this issue.
Is there any way to adjust the battery meter settings or simply hide the stock meter? I apologize if this is a dumb question.
Problem solved:
I tried the batteries in my girlfriend's Atrix and experienced the same problems. Convinced it was an issue with the battery itself, I contacted Motorola through live chat and explained the situation. After talking about (some of) the various troubleshooting steps I had taken, they told me they would send me a new battery. The battery came and has been working perfectly for the last week with the percentage showing accurately.
The two bad batteries I had were manufactured 04/08/11 and 04/12/11. The new one they sent was manufactured sometime in April 2012. Perhaps a bad batch of batteries was produced by Motorola. That would explain why Droid X owners believed that the battery was incompatible with their phones. The talk that the battery was incompatible started shortly after those batteries were produced (it looks like around August 2011), and mixed in there are reports of the SNN5893A working in the Droid X for some. Hopefully this info is helpful to others.
Thanks again to everyone who took the time to offer help.
I own the 42 mm version, and my watch has been going completely dead while showing anywhere between 30 to 35 percent battery left. I will look down and it will be a black screen and unresponsive until I put it on the charger. I can't really try and calibrate it because I can't go to 0%. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any suggestions?
Only time i've seen this is when it's a bad battery or it's dieing. Seems like it's hitting runaway voltage and just dumping the entire battery. My phone does this when it hits anywhere from 20-35% left. Going to take it to verizon to verify it's the battery but that is my assumption.

I have the same problem since 6.0 update and i did one factory (unpair) reset but it dit not help. So i was ready to return the warch (warrenty). but i had battery calibration under suspicion, so i did full charge and then resetting (unpair) it over and over again just to get quick down to 50% and then i made shutdown and bootup until it went compleatly dry (mine dyed at 20%) then it had a 2 hours break until i got home. Put it on charger and when it started, this time it show 2% !!! (not 20%)charged to 100% but this time it charged to 75% and stayed there a while and then went straight to 100% . I think the software is having a hard time calibrating this small battery, or it was the 6.0 update f****** up the battery calibration. I think mine is ok now. I hope!!!
Had the same issue with arround 10%. Returned the watch. Got a new one. Same issue. Waited a few days and did always drain it fully and charge it fully. Works ok now. I was wondering what is your battery capacity ?
My battery capacity is 282. It is better now but it is not 100% ok. Now i can go down to 7% before it dyes. I will give 1 week, if it is still the same i will return it.

I had exactly the same results. I think it's because Motorola actually has less than 300mA battery in these watches. Quite frustrating I would say.

What capacity does your new watch have? and you say after a few dayes it is OK does that mean you can go down to 1% now before it dyes.
I want to have the upper hand when returning it to warenty but i dont want to return it if i will only get the same problem with the new one. In the end i could be forced to live with it because this is the only SmartWatch i want to wear at corent time.
The problem is that it only gives 1/2 the time it should in power save mode, when 7%=0%

New watch has 282mA capacity. Now it turns off correctly at 1% let's say but that took only 2-3 full cirlce charges.

You were right. 3 time and now it went to 1%. I gues it is ok now!!
I had the same problem with the 42mm dying at 30%. I returned it and got the 46mm. Haven't had the problem so far with the new 46.

well from my first day of testing.. mine died @ 30 %.. since I bought it used from someone on SWAPPA, not sure if its under warranty still.. not sure if I can re-calibrate it or try to return it.. :-/
after a factory reset it did go down to 26% but still shut off early... so not sure what to do... I spoke to Motorola who said its out of warranty so would be $75 to replace / fix... that is about what I paid for it... so not sure that is the route i want to go... right now its at 72% and its 1;20pm.. so its doing good on battery right now.. just hard to estimate when it will die since it doesn't go to 0..
I run stock 7.1.1 on my Moto Z and lately I have seen that the battery life is terrible. If I take the phone off the charger at say 7am I will be lucky to get to 3pm before needing charging. I don't play games or watch videos using the phone primarily for phone calls (!), texts, email, news reading (I use Google Playstand) and the occasional social media (no Facebook).
The only "customisations" I have are using the Pixel Launcher 3 instead of the Motorola one, the Google camera and the native AOSP dialer rathen than the Motorola one.
I had seen a few posts from folks saying a factory reset might fix it but I want to avoid that if I can with many work apps having quite convoluted processes to get then to authenticate and sign onto to Enterprise servers again,
Thanks
Maybe reflashing the stock ROM via fastboot avoiding the line "fastboot erase userdata" because if you'll avoid this line your personal data wouldn't be erased

HOw did you about that? I went to the Lenovo support forums and a senior agent replied as follows:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-Z/MOTO-Z-battery-life-terrible/m-p/3927759#M4349
Only one day but after deleting the cache partition, today's usage is much better - almost 14 hours.
However battery health is only 90% which seems low.
If you follow accubattery recommendations you should keep your phone ideally between 40-70% or at most 20-80% and don't ever let it run to zero unless you're recalibrating the battery and don't charge it to 100%. My Z Force is from August 2016 is at 95%, but even with that there's been a reduction in battery life.

I went to a local repair shop and paid something about 50$ to get it replaced.
I was playing a Daydream VR game that froze up and had to hold the power button to restart. Battery was around 70%, when the phone restarted it showed around 15%. My battery has been downhill since. This was last week. Today I have my phone plugged in charging with the Incipio battery back on and both showed 100% with the phone on. Powered the phone off while still plugged in and the power off screen shows the mod as 100% but my phone battery shows 78% and will continues showing 78% after 15 minutes of charging. Powered it back on and the mod is still at 100% and the phone battery is at 78%. Not sure whats going on. Accubattery shows 57% health after about a week of use. I have a battery replacement ordered...
First signs of the phone going to catch fire like my Z force did.
Took an update and it caused massive issues. Battery life was horrible and started to over heat. Not long later sitting at the Android set up screen about 1% battery drain per minute. Motorola said it's normal and no issues. Phones frame was getting to 90c again Motorola said ots normal and withen spec. Then other caught fire. Can't comment any more due to legal process. I'm just posting stuff I already have when I first seen the issues.
Be careful. Lucky at that point I was charging my phone in a metal pot. So if you see a huge battery drain and start to see overheating and reboots keep it in a metal pot. The pot is what saved my house from burning down.

I think that the incipio mod is the problem, O noted the same behavior using the mod, some weeks ago I purchased the turbo mod and it works better than the incipio.

I'm having the very same problem and will send the phone in for battery replacement.
Hundreds of users are complaining over there in the Lenovo Forums about this problem that came with 7.1.1.
Motorla recommended one user to clear the cache partition, but I don't think this will finally solve the 7.1.1 problems.
Let's wait for a software fix from Lenovo/Motorola or hope for Android 8.0/OREO
I think It's from some weird bug from 7.1.1
I got this problem after flashed 7.1.1 and now, it's in the warranty for battery replacement :/
and with my experience, nothing will fix if you flash back to 7.0.0

I replaced my battery. Before the battery would give 1.5-2 hours screen on time (57 percent drain an hour). Now I'm getting 4-5 hours of screen on time (17 percent drain an hour). Both measurements are on the same Android version 7.1.1 and same settings
I bought my LG G5 new last November (2017). Ever since last week the battery can't hold a charge for more than a few hours. It goes from 100% to dead two to three times a day. Before this disturbing trend, my normal usage would get a full day off a full charge.
A normal day for me is listening to a music player w/ headphones, making sure the screen in on standby. If the screen isn't off I'm just doing light web browsing, like checking forums, searching eBay, reading articles...just really basic web browser stuff. I make sure to keep the brightness at 40-50% on average; close to zero at night.
Anyone have an idea why this happening and how to remedy?
Thanks.
The battery is most likely no longer able to hold a charge, like you described

I bought my LG G5 new last November (2017). Ever since last week the battery can't hold a charge for more than a few hours. It goes from 100% to dead two to three times a day. Before this disturbing trend, my normal usage would get a full day off a full charge.

After the last OTA update mine suddenly started to do the same thing. I bought 2 batteries online () but they did the same thing. So I got the unlock file from LG and installed twrp and lineage 15.01. Battery improved some. Installed greenify and now i get almost all day. I still swap between 4 batteries. Each lasts about 8 hours and I always take an extra battery with me when i leave home and plug in car charger.

What's the OTA update? If it doesn't download automatically that's not the reason. Plus, this just started happening like 5-6 days ago.
I ordered a new battery yesterday. I couldn't find one that said it was compatible with the RS988; hopefully it works with my model.
Someone suggested I test my battery with a multimeter. I actually have one.. can't belive I didn't think of that. Also, never heard of greenify. I'll have to check it out.
Over the air updates are pushed out by the carrier or manufacturers. I don't know the last version but they can be automatic so you might have it. I found another thread on this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/rs988-software-update-21c-t3663768
So I got the new battery in the mail and no dice, it still is chewing right through it. It doesn't seem as drastic as it was initially, but I still need to charge it again in the mid-late afternoon.
I think it could the charger. Shortly after i got the phone the battery wasn't holding so well. Then I left the stock charger at a friends. I didn't have time to go pick it up, so I bought a replacement and all of a sudden the battery was holding all day. Then after a while that new charger wasn't holding the battery, so I switched back to the stock one and it was holding it all day again. So chargers have alot to do with battery performance. I ordered another one; hopefully that fixes the problem.
It was the USB-C cable. I bought a new one and I'm getting a full 24 hrs of charge.
