Hi
I got this new LG V30+ (India version) few days ago. Been very satisfied overall. Great battery life.
However, I have noticed this issue with (wired) battery charging and its is kinda worrying
The very first time i charged, the battery charged all the way up to 100%. The next time (of overnight charging), i found the battery showed only 97% in the morning. Today morning, after the third overnight charging, the battery shows only 95% in the morning.
I found that if i simply unplug the charger cable and plug in again, the charging goes beyond 95% and does reach 100%
What is going on? should i be worried? (100 --> 97 --> 95 --> ??? ) Why is the max overnight charging level keep decreasing? (I'm using the stock charger and cable that came with the phone)
Thanks
Try to calibrate the battery.
This is most likely to prevent overcharging the battery.
It goes up to 100%, stops, waits till it drops to like 95% or so, and then it will charge again.
Even though this process shouldnt be visible to you (every manufacturer does that for years already), and it should always show you 100%, which is a bit weird lol
But maybe LG just handles this differently. Even though i didnt notice this on my V30. Which firmware version are you having?

Thanks for the help...
V10c-IND-XX - thats the firmware... I guess?
Same issue
I am facing the same issue. My LG V30+ wont charge over 85% when charged overnight. Have to unplug usb and put it back then it goes to 100%.
Did you find the fix ?
Nope. Didn't find any "fix" till now.
The problem seems to be kind of intermittent though - on some days (of overnight charging), it does charge to 100%, most days it doesn't.
This is with wired charging.
I also happened to notice that during the nights i leave it on the wireless charging, it goes all the way to 100%.
Any solution? I'm having the problem...like exactly mentioned by you

I had similar problem. Changed the LG Charger to another Qualcomm certified fast charger and cable, issue got resolved. Hope this helps.

Re: Battery Drain While Charging
Has anyone else experienced this?
This is the first time I've had this happen to me....
Sometimes while charging my phone....I'll leave it idle for maybe an hour, and when I go to check my messages, I notice I've lost 10% of my charge while the phones "charging."

Are you charging using the stock charger? USB cable?
That sure sounds like a bad charger... or you have some kind of hardware short? My phone only loses about 10% in 7-8 hours. I can't imagine it on a phone that is plugged in and charging.
I read somewhere that once the phone reaches 100% it discharges slightly in order to protect the battery. My phone drops down to 95% after it reaches 100% then charges back up to 100% again.

I think it may be a bad charger.....Because if I leave my phone idle on the home charger (It's the oem one) it will eventually lose battery power.
But on a sidenote, I have my phone plugged into my usb right now and it is charging appropriately. But whenever I use the phone to text, or whatnot, it either stays charged at the current percentage, or it slowly loses power (albeit 1-2% every 10 minutes)
I've never had any of these problems before
ive experienced this a couple times. i charge it over night and when i wake up in the morning its at like 96%. when that happens i just unplug it, and plug it back in and eventually charges to full and it stays that way. i dont know why that happens, and it happens sporadically so i can't pinpoint the exact cause

This is the norm for me.
I am experiencing a worse version of this problem... I no matter whether I plug my phone into the wall charger that came in the box, or via usb, it actually loses charge while it is "charging". I have had it completely drain the battery while on charge. I've killed all applications, and the problem still exists. The only way around this is to turn the phone off completely while it is charging- which is something I feel I should not have to do. Not found a solution online yet...

My appologies if this question has been answered somewhere else, I could not find any other threads with a similar situation.
My phone was dropped and ever since then it has not shown me the right battery level. It will charge on USB or AC up to 99% and stop. I connected it to AC power 30 hours ago and it never gave me the green light. This is after a full drain and then recharge. It did however stop charging at some point. I noticed no light was on, red or green, turned on the phone and my battery had gone from 99% to 41% in 22 minutes. I plugged it into USB and it appears to be charging back up. My widget now shows 84% with 4334mV (i dont know if this is right or not).
It is not an issue with the battery. My wife has the same phone and I swapped batteries. Mine works fine in her phone and I have the same problem with hers.
My other issue is that when I use the phone off the charger it will not show me the level accurately when it is draining battery. Example being, I unplug the phone at 99%, within 5 minutes I'm down to 92% (i know this is not unusual because of how the batteries charge). But, I will stay at 92% for hours and hours, with moderate use of internet, phone, and apps. Then it will fall from 92 to 60 ish in a few minutes and do the same thing. Sometimes it will tell me that I'm getting low (under 15%) other times it just turns off a second or two after the notification. If I plug in the phone and turn it on it shows me 1% and charges up to 99%.
In the few minutes I have been typing my phone charged up to 91% with 4336mV.
I was running ViperRom ICS when the issue started. Restored it back to Stock with no root and the issue remained. Now I am running Mean Rom ICS with the same issues.
I have cleared the battery cache in recovery too.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you kiss it. your phone will love you and it'll be all better. NOW KISS IT AND TELL YOUR PHONE YOU'RE SORRY FOR DROPPING IT! LOL!
Based on my experience with batteries of all kinds, it sounds like one of the cells may be damaged. Best bet is to get a new battery. They are decently cheap for a good one. Im actually looking for an extended unit myself. If you come across one, please PM me.
Thanks
That was my first thought but when I swap my battery with my wife's battery I have the same problem. Both batteries work fine in her phone but not in mine.
Sorry to bring this up again, my bad. But seriously you are not the only one with this issue.. I had the same problem since stock, swap battery didn't help either.
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.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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
Hello XDA I was just wondering if anyone else has any sort of anomalies in their promotional charging cradle for instance I was charging 1 battery in there and it was still red indicating still need of charge and my other battery in the device was around 75% so I wanted to switch them fast charging saving time. Once the battery in my phone it was at 100%. Also once it turned green before I was going to bed so I unplugged it and in the morning I switched them and the battery from the cradle once I put it in had 13%.
Anyone, anything to you?

Months behind but my charger started messing up. Battery in the dock was green, swapped at work last night and had 5%. I just now swapped the one I charged this morning after it was green and it's at 22%.

Having same exact issues with both of mine all of the sudden.
Having the same exact issue. The cradle was all good until a few months ago.
After putting an externally charged battery in the phone I often had the problem that it was only at 5% or something like that. After rebooting und once pulling the battery it was at 100%. So the battery is fully charged but the phone doesn't recognize it. My workaround: When changing batteries I pull the empty one, wait about ten seconds, put the full one in, pull it again after a few seconds and put it back in the phone after some seconds and boot the phone. Doing it this way leads me to a phone showing 100% battery.

Hmm, that's weird. I'm having this issue as well so I'll have to try this and see what happens. Thought for certain is was charging cradle though and not the phone misreading the battery simply because it worked fine for like 6 months.
Basically, plug it in via USB and charge it while it's turned off (offline charging). It makes sense that it would get warm while the battery gets charged. However, I noticed that it stays noticably over ambient temperature when left plugged in after it's fully charged, even after hours. Not hot, but hand warm. No idea why it would still produce the heat in question, common knowlege says the regulating chips inside should completely stop any energy flow when it's full. Weird. No idea if that's normal, a software or a hardware issue.

Hi,
I noticed that last Friday when I changed my battery to Nohon. It was the first installation of the new battery, I used for an hour the phone and then I turned it off to charge it completely. (I don't usually turn off my device to charge it so I noticed this now)
I noticed the device was warm and stayed warm even after was finished at 100%. I thought was the battery, I unplugged from the charger and I checked the temp was 35c. Then I let it and I was checking regularly, the battery temp drop down to very normal temps. Afterwards when I charge it again but with device turned on I didn't noticed this warm which I felt when the device was turned off....so Idk. I haven't tried to charge it again while turned off.
I am on crDroid with NGK.
Btw, the Nohon battery is amazing, 17€ and my phone is like new 11-12h SOT

From Official Store of Nohon at AliExpress. It took around ~1.5-2months to come but worth it
Only on particularly hot days and that too while using the device. Indoors I use the device plugged in pretty much always but I limit charge to 60% to reduce the voltage stress. Otherwise when not in use even at 100% charge temps. are a non-issue.

That's great. Do update how it holds up after say 6 months to a year. It was very fortunate that for a few months last year Xiaomi India ran a promotional sale on replacement batteries in which F1 battery was marked down to just €12 equivalent as Aliexpress is banned here. I considered buying another battery but since they returned the original battery which despite it's 65% health was still good for 8+ hours SoT in A12 I decided against it. F1 will serve as my daily driver only till the end of this year so as a secondary device the replacement battery should last years.
