Hi guys,
I've installed the latest official JB ROM and everything is fine.
However when i have the phone connected to the same power adapter and cable I normally use, the phone just doesn't charge.
Battery settings shows charging as AC, red LED is on etc.
But the percentage just hasn't moved from 51% in over an hour of charge.
Any ideas on this as it was fine on ICS LH1.
It is probably recharging, Just reboot the phone and look at the percentage again.
PS, this belongs in the Q&A
Sorry, can it be moved.
I just rebooted and it showed 50%.
A few minutes later and it's showing 49%

Don't worry about what it says on the screen. Power off the phone and plug it in so it charges quick. Unplug it when the LED is green.
OK, about to leave work so I'll try that at home.
But the % on the front was always accurate before.
Is this a bug with JB or something?
Installed wanam LIB last night. I woke up this morning after my phone has been on the charger all night and it was only showing 96%. Seems like the charging behavior, or at least the battery reporting, has been changed.

I turned it off for 10 minutes while charging and it went from 47% to 48%.
really hoping this will fix itself with a charge to 100% while off.

yes it happened to me too. i woke up to see my phone at 7%, and i hooked it up with 15%
i'm sure i played with the charging speed while i had siyah kernel, i guess this might be the reason

Same Problem here!
Charged last night (8 hours - poweradapter) and it went from 68% to only 80 %.
... but if i charge it via PC (USB 2.0 Port) it charges normal and really quick.
I'm on DLIB (fresh install with full wipe/dalvik etc).
Don't worry about what it displays. After 1 bettery cycle it will show accurate information. If you're charging your phone and the percentage drops it means that it hasn't calibrated the battery charge information. Just use it as you would and after 1 or 2 days you will see an accurate display of battery percentage.
I have searched the forums but not found a thread which is similar to my problem.. I know there are battery drain issues with wifi etc but this is wierd and only started happening a few days back.
Basically i plug phone in to charge and it charges completely normally and quickly as it used to but only charges up to about 68/70% then it basically stops charging any higher, LED still red, charging display over battery still there. Turning phone off, rebooting, unplugging and plugging charger back in all makes no difference!
Any ideas what could be the cause of this? how to resolve?
I'm on stock JB, using the official wall charger and USB cable and i made sure the battery was full when i updated to JB as well.
Try a different battery, these are getting to the point where some will start to fail, six month warranties on batteries for a reason.
Well i have a £1.99 spare battery in atm as i run the original battery completely flat today. Seriously though be surprised if battery fail after 3/4 mths - never had battery dying issues on previous phones i've had until they were a good 2/3 years old.. Always a first though LOL
Its like the battery is saying its fully charged at 70%, now its completely flat i will charge it overnight with the phone off to full (if it gets there) and see if is resets the battery callibration or something.
Try to wipe battery stats via cwm recovery/advanced.

if you are rooted than download batterycalibration and untick 100% charge and click recalibrite and leave the phone on charge and it should charge up nto 100%

This app just wipes battery stays, so you can do same by going to cwm/advanced/wipe battery stats.

It has nothing to do with wiping battery stats. I think Kangburra is right...
UPDATE.
Shamed to say that i am not rooted yet... I have been there and done all that on my old phone ZTE Blade, but i really like the added functions that TW brings and don't suffer much in the way of anoying redraws or lag etc (although i do feel that TW could be optomised alot better along with better RAM Management)
I was going to at least root to sim unlock but got a sim free unlocked phone so had no need, then other stuff i wanted to do like freeze samsung apps etc is all possible without root and i've not come across that "I" need root at the moment.. was going to for APPS2ROM but i got no need to free up space yet.
Cheers for the suggustions though - I have that battery callibration app already (from old phone days) obviously don't work though.
Anyway - I am monitoring battery atm but it seems that running the battery completely flat until it turned itself off and charging overnight with battery off has resolved this issue - maybe this reset the battery stats and recalibrated it.
Its back to normal now, charges upto 100% as normal!! Fingers crossed this was just a blip
Hi there anyone have any ideas been using my Z2 since last Friday and yesterday for some reason the device will not charge to 100 % only goes up to 96%
I have tried a different charger and still get the same problem , Also downloaded Sony pc companion software and run the repair tool to see if it resolves the issue and still same problem
Try discharge battery to 1-2% (some advise even till auto-off device) and then fully charge with bundled charger.
Mine does the same thing, don't worry.
The reason this happens is that once your battery is at 100%, it stops charging automatically, and the device waits for it to get down to 99% before starting to charge again.
Is it possible that you just keep catching it at 99%?
Mine will charge about 1% every four minutes until it hits 99%. Then that last one percent takes a couple of hours. This is according to the power/percent list in gsam. It's done it consistently from day 2. Day 1 it failed to charge beyond 80% overnight.

thanks for your help I will try a full discharge and then try charging it and see how it goes
Finally battery is flat the phone turned off , charging it now with the sony charger which came with the z2 , will let you know what happens
I did a live chat with sony and they say the device is faulty and needs to be repaired
I have rang my network provider and they will send me a new z2
96% charge and wont charge no more!!
would really like to understand what is the solution to the problem.
This is really annoying . Please need all possible inputs.
Do you think its a product issue and needs to be replaced with a new piece.
Mine charges, but...
My Z2 will charge to 100%, but after it gets to 95% the screen turns on, and stays on.
If I push the power button on the phone to turn the screen off, the screen will turn off for between 0.5-1.5 seconds, and then turn itself back on.
I have gone through quite a few settings on my phone and can't find anything that might affect this other than perhaps "Night Mode" - which I have disabled.
Please help, my provider refuses to replace my phone even though I got it brand new from them and it's only 21 days old... I do love the phone, I just hate this issue - I can't leave it charging over night, or run the risk of having the phone over heat (it happened once, this is how I first found out about the problem, I had to leave the phone off with a fan on it for a good hour before it was cool to the touch again.)
@The Midnighter
I think you have a faulty unit, mine (2nd one) doesn't even overheat unless I have severe CPU/GPU intensive apps running. Never had a charging problem either... Get it replaced mate
I always charge the phone power off, when it is full charged I get the vibra notification and the phone is 100%.

I forgot to mention - you reminded me.
When I leave my phone off and plugged in, it will charge to 100% - however I have to do a HARD RESET every time I go to turn my phone back on, after turning it off. (Holding power and volume up) or it sticks on the "SONY" screen and will not advance.
Since xperia S there is a feature which helps battery keeping good condition
Its charge to 100% and turns charging off till 95%
Its all becouse integrated battery
This is not a bug or problem

It is indeed a problem, because the screen is staying on and causing my phone to over heat - it once over heated so badly because of this I had to leave the phone off for a very long time.
The phone doesnt charge at 100% and the magnetic charger not work

I have the exact problem. The phone work ok for a few days and then stop charging at 92% and the screen stay on. I plug the charger in the night and in the morning was only at 92% and hot, very hot.
A few days ago I bought a dock charger and an usb cable to plug in the magnetic lateral charging port. And with both chargers the phone shows the charge icon for a second and desapear for another second and repeat the loop.
I try everything in the software level. Restore the firmware using pccompanion and also flash the lollipop firmaware but the problem persist. Just not tried delete the battery stats because my phone is not rooted yet.

Did u manage to fix the problem? Or did anyone here manage to fix the battery charging issue? Mine charges to 78%, then sometime 85% then hard-reset - 91%. Cant charge anything above that! : <
There's no real fix, you can only hope a rollback to KitKat might help. See this lengthy forum post on the sony forums:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Lollipop-charging-bug/td-p/965384
Spanning from april until right now...
Mine only gets to 70-80% on an overnight charge.
Mine charges and discharges constantly, I try change the cable, the AC adapter, the usb on my computer, the micro usb port to magnetic... Always is the same.. and another times charges too good.
Some times charge to 99% and discharge to 98%.. so I disconnect and connect again and charges to 100%
Maybe it's a Lollipop .232 problem in some devices?
Hi! Same problem here, sometimes my phone doesn't charge to 100% and I have to unplug the charger and plug it in again to get 100%. I think it's pretty common, but if your phone only charges till a low percentages and just doesn't charge further, it might be so that the phone's afflicted with the Lollipop charging bug. We can only wait for Marshmallow then
my s6 edge is few months old
but the fast charging doesnt seem to work
when i connected the charger it did get detect as fast charger but immediately it vibrated once or twice & started showing "cable charging"
the charger is fine & i did ensure that the charger is pushed in & connected properly as stated in few threads
nothing seems to work
i used the same charger on my friends s6...
fast charging worked on his phone
then to make sure i used his phone's fast charger & it still shows cable charging
is it related to some rom issue?
cause for some random reason im not getting the 5.1.1 update
ps. warranty/replacement is out of question as it was a gift from one of my relatives. the phone was bought from Singapore
its glitching now.
its showing cable charging & stops charging then connects again & stops
kept happening for a minute or so
then removed the charger
stopped charging but its showed dock connected every time i connected the charger & disconnected it
now its charging again
is the usb screwed up?
any help will be appreciated guys!
try a different microusb cable ?

Draining it to zero percent for a few days kinda fixed the problem I think
I kept draining the battery to zero & charged every single day
When I had drained the battery to zero fast charging worked
Then it kinda fixed itself
I'm really not sure how it fixed itself
Been ages since I last had the problem
Could have been a software glitch
After the 5.1.1 update I'm not facing any problems
I suffered with this problem before the 5.1.1 update

Try a factory reset also
If you don't have any data on your phone, try it now only
Then try draining the battery to zero for a few days
That's what I did
Hope your problem gets fixed soon

Never charge a phone with a laptop, it uses a process called trickle charging which can cause damage to your battery!

Did you use a magnetic charger before?
i just recently had same issue as you are having yesterday my phone stopped charging at 71% and i noticed i didnt have this issue on .575 build and then i downgraded to .575 from .291. In my case it solved the problem but i also changed my charging cable.If you are on .291 downgrade and check if it solves the issue
I got this problem couple days ago too

Thx for tip.
btw. I dont use magnetic charger, tried all combinations with cables/chargers/calibrations/hard wipes. Battery is now charging to 64%, but when playing in games, etc. its discharging long time, like it was going down from 100%....

I have the same issue with my phone, it charges to only 83-90%, so strange!
I think our issue has something to do with the new soft charging
I had same problem + headphones broblem, I reinstalled the smartconnect and it gone
Okey guys, new thread update:
I have got new Xperia Z2, previous had some hardware touch screen problems.. and what? Same problem on new device. This problem occurs while upgrading android from 4.4 to 6.0.1 by installing updates one by one without any pause/reboot. Firstly it was around 80% max, last time 68%.. now I have solution. (Because of post above this one, I have uninstalled Smart Connect for tests). I have discharged battery to 0% and plugged in wall charger. It started to on/off/on/off after some time and I turned on screen to see % of charging.. it was 68%. I though I can keep screen up for sometime and check if it will pass 68% (because with turned on screen it drains enegry so it can't charge to "max").. and this passed... I dont know why its working, but it is. Started to blink again at 73%, 80%, 86%, 90% for sometime and now its 95%.... Just need to have turned on screen so it can't charge to its "max" After it reach 1% above limit, then turn off screen. Its definitely software bug. I still dont know how it will behave after discharging again.. Will post update. (btw. its cold like ice. xD)

I tried Motorola X Play charger and Blackberry one and they works without any problem but with the original charger and the M5 one got the on/off problem.
I've contacted Sony and send them a logcat and they said that I should send it them but I didn't, because I don't have second phone
I am having this problem recently too. My battery often charge at a very low current ( 10mA ~ 700mA ) and today it even discharge itself when plugged in!! I tried both USB charger and magnetic charging cable but still it turns out the same. I have criticized this problem on SuperSU v2.78 SR1, Google Play Service v9.8.75 and restoring them to the previous versions but still nothing changed. What I did later is I wiped all partitions ( except external_sd ) and installed AOSPA ( previously I was on eXistenZ v5.6.5 ) and after it boots it finally return a 1A current to me. However, this only happens occasionally which it will possibly corrupted like a couple of days ago. Still need to figure out what the he** is wrong with this thing. Frankly speaking, I nearly wanted to rush out to the 24/7 service centre in Hong Kong at 2am lol.

lol this happened to me too about 3 days ago.
I used the phone as always do and wanted to charge it normally with a usb cable but then i got this
CHARGING
on off on off on off
the off took 1-5 seconds and the charging led, tone and animation only appeared for a second and then went off.
it wasnt the charger, nor the cable. it was the micro usb port, no idea why because I didn`t drop it etc
a micro usb port replacement part costs only 15 bucks but unfortunately I don`t have the equipment and knowledge for repairing electrinical parts
so I had to fu**ing replace the whole motherboard which is very expensive even if you do it yourself!!! now it works ut I will never repair my z2 again. I bought it for 400$ and since buying it I spent 300$ on repairing it. if you wouldn`t have done that myself I would had spent 700$ usd for repairing it at our local phone shop.
Just cleared Smart connect app data and charged it with the default charger (14% to 100%) it charged without any problem

Yes, I think so, too... I have this issue but it happens over night and the led charge indicator blinks... I've disabled "Battery Care", that is included in some .291 roms
