Hello good day for all, as the title indicates I have presented a problem after updating Android Nougat this officially with smart swich, after this the loading process stops when it reaches 80% I can leave the device all the charging night and does not exceed this percentage, this clearly with the original charger and cable and the only way that the device charges 100% is by slow charging via USB cable to a PC.
I have installed third party rom almost the majority that there is in the forum and the problem persists and the only solution is to return to Android Marshmallow there the device loads in a normal way and 100%
Additional to confirm clarified that I always use the original charger and cable and likewise try to calibrate the battery with the hidden menu that has the phone, letting the phone download completely 0% and then loading it with slow charge and restarting it several times to calibrate also this way the battery, additionally I have also done the factory reset and I have done in the recovery wipe and cache clean and still the additional fault persists if I connect it to the PC it detects it in a normal way so I ask for your valuable help to try to manage that failure.
Thank you.

So the last couple of weeks it seems my player 5.0 is really picky on what kind of charger will charge it. At first all worked and then no wall charger would work only through USB. Then only a few cords I could barrow from friends now none at all but once in a blue moon. It will not even attempt to charge on 99% of cords. I have recently found out if my device is completely dead I can plug it in and it will do nothing but reboot till it completly dies. If I let it completely die and not unplug the cord it will charge and reboot 100% after a hour or two and be fine again but does n longer charge unless its own ignorant demand. I haven't tried switching roms cause I'm quite content with my current one and has no other problems software visible so I was curious on if it was hardware instead any ideas guys?
I've seen mixed results trying to charge with cables other than the one that came with the player. Sometimes they work fine, other times they work for a while then wont charge it. Most of the time, data transfer works fine. Might be some weird voltage issue or something with the hardware, but I saw issues with the Stock setup.

I think this can only be hardware related, right? Does the micro-usb port still look right? You could send your device if you still have warranty (or if you really need it repaired).. That will take some time, though
To clarify, is this distinct from the standard bootlooping problem where a device will continuosly cycle through a partial boot if it's powered on (or reset) while connected to another computer via the usb cable? If the battery is too weak to last through a whole boot process, the charging screen will flash on and off as it moves through that partial boot cycle.
If that's NOT the problem you're experiencing, I'd suggest booting into recovery mode and wiping the battery stats (it's under advanced in most CWM-based kernels).

Thank you wiped battery stats and my.cord I though I had wasted 20$ on started charging it right after reboot
Glad that worked. Odds are it was actually charging the battery, but android had the wrong info, so it wouldn't show as charging or warn you when the battery was getting low. This is a fairly common occurrence for me, which is why I never trust the battery indicator, and charge it whenever possible.
hello everyone,i have updated GT-I9205 to 4.4.2 (sprint) stock, the first week was pretty good, at the second week my phone suddenly shut down and wont turn back on the battery was about 35-40%, i tried to connect to wall charger but no sign of life also tried from computer the same again under device menager no device was being added, after a day of trying i was nervous and just keept pressing the power button for about 5 minutes and than it turned on and no problems till yesterday, as usual i have putted the phone to charge when i gone to sleep and when i woke up it was 33% and not charging, when i put the charger it says usb connector connected and wont charge, ive tried to go to download mode and maybe flash with an other stock firmware but wont be recognized, i also tried to wipe data/factory reset but no luck, so i thought it was a hardware failure while trying i've found out that when i am in download mode with usb cable connected and take out the battery the phone stays turned on, than realized that if i connect the usb cable while the phone is of and than go to recovery mode then reboot, when it boots it charges the battery but keeps no notification that its charging just the regular battery icon and if i take out the cable and put it back it says usb connector connected but wont charge , does anyone know what to do with this, is this a hardware issue (i know that if i change the motherboard it will be okay because of firmware) or is this a software issue(what im thinking it is), does anyone how can i change the firmware without odin and without being rooted, or is anyway to root 4.4.2 without odin than install an other firmware or what should i do (instead of killing myself hahahahah).
Sorry for my bad English and if i was not clear please let me know than i will record a video and post it here!
Thanks for your time.
Kind regards from Prishtina DB

thanks everyone who was here, it was a hardware problem I've fixed the connector on the phone now its working fine, so it has not being a software problem.

Considering you changed to many roms and wiped battery stats, seems like a problem with your phone's charging port.
so am currently running lollipop 5.0.2 on my Sony z2 when i plug in the charger it charges fine until it reach 89% then the screen start flashing(on/off) and the phone wont charge no more,should i reset my device or this is a hardware problem
There is no way to know until you reset the device. Also, do not forget that you can try to repair with Pc Companipon and to see whether there will be a result.
Share then if there is an effect.
Hi,
long story short: I connected my Z5C to a bad (apparently, I don't want to test ) charger and now I have some strange issues. Is there any change that my h/w isn't fried?
Full story: As I said I connected my Z5C (newest CyanogenMod provided here) to a charger and it instantly did a hard reset. Afterwards it did turn on and continued to work for some time. As I was on the road at that time I could not charge it elsewhere and later that day it ran out of power. When I tried to charge it with a known good charger some days later, it did not boot. I suspect the boot process to healthd or whatever draws this cool animation takes more power than my working but small charger provided.
It did charge at my laptop, especially when I put it into fastboot mode.
Now thats where I am stuck; the phone won't turn off completely and keeps rebooting when I turn it off (via os menu or hard reset, no chance).
I can charge it after it runs out of power (managed to charge to 100%), but it won't charge if I unplug and replug it. It is not recognised by a pc after I reconnect it one or two times (checked with device manager and lsusb), only chance to get to fastboot or flash mode again is drain the battery to 0%. It does show a loading animation and I can boot into android from there. Battery drain in Android seems to be a little higher than usual (100 to 0 after 2 1/2 days of pure standby without any radio stuff on).
I have already reflashed the original Sony firmware and erased everything that came to my mind (cache, data....).
Any hope that I did not kill some piece of hardware?
Thanks for your answers, any help appreciated
tell me more about your z5c's software, why you mentioned Cynogenmod? did you flash it with cynogenmod?
seems to me that z5c was running on custom rom and did not support fast chargers and bricked your device!
if that so, try flashing it using flashtool with original stockrom.
i don't wana go in to details however there is possiblity that battery.sys file is corrupt and atleast I was never able to fix my LT18i when it got bricked and battery status use to become zero in 2 seconds and android keep rebooting, later it got silent for good! no charge no nothing and i still have the device sitting. I was running it on coconut (cynogenmod) when all this happened!
Thanks for your reply.
The charger was no kind fast charger, just a common 12V to USB adapter with an output of 800mA (when it worked). I was running CM 13 when I connected it to the bad charger, but as I mentioned I have since then reflashed it with Stock ROM. No real improvement.
I have continued trying and I found out that the device seems to believe it is still connected via usb.
Code:
cat /sys/class/power_supply/usb/present
gives me "1" with nothing connected, can you check if this is normal?
The file is -rw-r-- r--, would changing its value change anything or is it just some kernel thing (can't check, don't have root permissions now as I flashed Stock ROM)?
Also after I charged it on my PC today it still shows me the notifications for USB connection and adb (I can add a screenshot if necessary), also looks like it still believes to be connected.
It seems I found the solution: I was playing a bit with a USB-OTG adapter (the ones to connect regular usb devices like keyboards or storage to your phone). After I connected a USB keyboard I tried (just for fun) if the Linux "Magic" SysRq hotkeys were enabled. So I did press Alt-Print-o, which is the Linux hotkey for "turn off now". It did not turn off, it also stayed off (no instant reboot). After I started the phone again it also properly turned off via the power menu!
I will have to test whether the charging issues are fixed, too, but as far as I can tell the problem seemed to be something software-related
Sadly did not work for long. I think I will go for official repair, think this is still cheaper than buying a new phone (after completely killing it with some DIY "repair" attempt). This annoying brick simply does not turn off, no matter what I do (apart from draining battery to 0%). Guess its my fault, still to afraid to try that broken charger again.
