Hello.
I have a problem with the battery of my Moto Z. On Android 7.1 the phone worked for 3.5-4 hours of the screen. After the oreo update, this time was halved. Now the maximum for me is 2 hours of screen work.
AccuBattery shows a capacity of 2000 mAh. When charging up to 100% and restarting the phone, the charge drops to 80%.
Firmware through the RSD did not help. Hard Reset did not help.
What can be done?
P.S. The phone was bought in December 2017. The firmware is official. The bootloader is locked.
Firmware OPLS27.76-51-5

I think this is battery issue, I have to reboot my phone every time it charges to 100% to complete the charge. There is no definite solution to this problem afaik other than replacing the battery from what I read from other users on this forum.
Seeing that your phone is still in the warranty period, I think Lenovo will replace the battery or phone free of charge.

I also had the same issue with the moto Z. this is not a software issue, that's a hardware issue. if your phone is under warranty then take your phone to service center. after replacing the battery u can get upto 5 to 6 hours of battery backup. while gaming not more then 1 hour.
I have this problem exactly the same.
I think it is completely software
but rsd lite does not see it at all
please help meee

Besides changing the battery my X in some rare cases behaves odd: not charging or no radio.
In these cases I shut it down and leave it without power connection for about 20 minutes.
When i restart it then (still no power conntected, at least in the case of no radio) I enter my pin an sim-pin and then, after showing radio connection, it work as supposed.
Perhaps that helps you. But if it's the battery on hardware this won't help.

I flashed an aosp ROM which was very unstable and so went back to the Sensation ROM I was using prior to the aosp ROM and all has been well since apart from a sudden drop in battery roughly 3 hours after flashing. I've attached a screen cap. of the battery usage screen shortly after it occurred, should it help anyone identify the problem.

I had the same problem just yesterday, it's due to the fact that when you're flashing your ROMS your battery got miscalibrated. It's a simple thing to fix just follow the instructions from this app on the Play Store (New Market for those of you without the update).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Did you reboot the phone in this 3 hours? Coz I see this big step, which is happening when you reboot in recovery or flash something. You need to charge you phone and calibrate you battery

I rebooted after I'd configure the launcher as it was before I tried the aosp rom, but didn't enter recovery or flash anything.
I'll configure the battery and hope it doesn't happen, just wondering if anyone has an idea what caused it?
The exact thing happened to me. When you flashed your phone at a certain battery percentage (lets say 50%) Your new ROM assumes that 50% is the maximum capacity. Therefore, when you rebooted your phone it simply corrected the misreading. Calibrating your battery from the app I provided in my earlier post will delete the batter stats file in your phone and create a new one. Remember to use it when your battery is at 100%, then take your battery down to 0% and charge it back up to 100. I'm currently doing that process now after my phone jumped from 50% down to 20% after I rebooted yesterday.

It`s happening some times, you are not first and not last. Just calibrate you battery and will be fine. Good luck
Ok so I've downloaded the battery calibration app and currently charging my device however the app is displaying the same battery level as my phone.
Does this render the battery calibration a waste of time or is it to be expected?

i thought a manual battery calibration on a i9100 is a waste of time . They didnt calculate it like HTC does. Somebody explained me that this mobile got another System for that but i just forgot what for...
Mine always does this when flashing and shows the sudden drop in battery. Once you charge it back up it should be fine again I'm sure. It always is for me
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yep. You are 100% correct
Calibration apps do absolutely nothing except make you a few bucks poorer if you pay for them :-|
The best thing you can do is charge to 100%, pull the battery for a minute, and put it back in.
Also Ex Tweaks is capable of resetting the fuel gauge chip in genuine Samsung batteries should you be experiencing fuel alerted wakelocks on CM9 or similar.

Hey guys, I know these threads aren't exactly welcome, but this was kind of weird.
I was carrying out my papers, listening to my Spotify playlist. After about three hours, I had 34% battery charge left. About ten minutes later, 11%. Then my phone died, because the charge was gone and it didn't get past the boot logo.
I arrived home about 10 to 15 minutes ago and tried to boot my phone, it booted and had 24% charge - how does that work?
Here's a screenshot

I'm running MIUI polimorph JB 4.1.x.
Any explanations would be nice.

Internal resistance of the battery increased due to high temperature, voltage dropped to shut off threshold. After the phone was allowed to cool the resistance dropped and voltage returned to the actual 24% level remaining.
It sounds like your battery could do with replacing.

Sounds reasonable, but I don't think so. I was doing my paper round at ~1 degrees C and my phone was in my front pocket of my jacket, so it was pretty cold. (Now thinking of that, maybe I should have written that in the OP, as well.)
But I think you're right with the battery exchange. Ever since I got my replacement S III I've been having better and yet again worse battery charge-durations. It lasted longer, but took from ~10PM charging through my XBox 'till 2PM when I go out and stuff...
But still, thanks
My S3 (2nd phone) battery lasted ages when I first got it but now a few weeks later it seems the battery just doesn't last as long as it did when brand new. I'm simply going to replace the battery with a new 1 every 3 months

There are several possible causes to your issue
- When batteries are cold, their capacity drops so when you get home it warms up and has some charge left
- Your battery's electronics had an incorrect counter. Do a full load/unload cycle and it should calibrate correctly

I don't think it would be a faulty counter. The phone was so dead it didn't reach the boot logo.
I'd say option one is most likely.

Hello everybody!
I have the following problem. Some time ago I hadinterruptions during the charging process. This has become noticeable that in between the screen was flashing up and the lightning symbol as it normally is when its charging was not on the battery symbol. This problem has been getting worse to the point that the device has only loaded temporarily. So almost by luck. Sometimtes it didnt work for hours and then it charged the whole evening. I even had the feeling that it has charged, even though my phone has not shown. The battery capacity increased after few hours. The end was that the phone no longer charged at all. Then I ordered a new charging socket and installed it. Since then everything works fine and I was satisfied.
Today, however, to be exact half an hour ago, I had that bad feeling again. The screen flashed up and the charging interrupted. It was now three times. What's going on here? I hope that it does not become worse. I ordered a new battery on the internet before all these problems came up, which was touted as original. Before changing the charging socket I have tried this with both batteries. Same problem. The power adapter was able to charge the phone of a friend of mine but not my phone.
Does anybody have an idea and can help me? Thanks alot!
Same here mate, now it stop charging completely... Have you found any solution? Tried replacing the charging port, but I was told that it is the motherboard...
If anyone have any idea would be helpful. Thanks!

I have same problem. Phone seems to charge well till 80-90% then, charging interrupts. Before my warranty has finished, I have contacted with Samsung. They advised to restore phone to factory setting, what I did. Nothing helped. I have changed chargers ofc for original one, bought new battery, luck of improvement... What is more I have noticed that my phone consumes battery a way faster than before – I have to plug phone every 6-8h with 3g, GPS and BT on. When I use google maps in my car in spite the fact phone is connected to charger (2A Samsung original one!) phone runs down slowly :/ I am rly disappointed with this phone… Guys did you find solution?
I have two of these phones, and both have developed charging issues after a year or two. I bought two OEM batteries to replace, and still does not help.
Tried various chargers, various cables. Intermittent charging at first, then nothing. 2 bricks.

May be the problem 's in the connection between MicroUSB port and mainboard. I suggest you supply 5V to 2 pin and waitting for full battery. If this solution working, buying wireless charging Pad .

hey all, i got this phone, i was told just a dead battery. put it on the charger and it never charged up. the screen just showed that i needed to charge the battery. i did the power & volume button trick, and the at&t logo showed up, then went back to dead. so i pulled the battery and tested it for charge. it came back 3.5. then i checked the charging port, and the contact part was broken. put in a new cable & port. still showing battery needs charging. got a different battery, still shows battery needs charging. only booting to at&t logo. what can i check or do next? thanx!
@chowceal
May be battery's calibration is wrong. If your phone's Android is rooted then you can try to re-calibrate it. I use "Advanced Battery Calibrator" app - what is attached - to do this from time to time.
the phone is not booting up to be able to use any app.
@chowceal
The phone tries to charge "by hardware" from whatever you plug it into. Then after some time it tries to boot, and part of the boot process will run off the internal battery.
If the charging happens from a slow charging powersource, the charge in the battery will be insufficent to bridge the "no charging" part of the boot process, the phone will shut down again and not resume charging!
So, if you charge from a "faster" charger, that can provide more current, then by the time the boot happens, there will be enough charge in the battery to bridge the gap.
My advice: Use the factory charger and/or a wall charger and not USB.
That is what I would do:
Plug the phone into the factory charger and cable.
Hold down the power button for several minutes (like 4-5 minutes) - The phone will cycle through several booting/charging screens.
Release the power button, then press the power button to make the phone boot.
Plug the phone into a computer or other non-factory charger; it should begin to charge, albeit slowly.
Finally after it has charged over 10% or more, plug it into the factory charger and see if it charges normally.
Important: Never charge over 80%, always start charging when 30% reached.

both batteries were charged up to capacity. but the phone is not recognizing that. so is it a hardware issue, software issue??

My POV: As you are not willing to do as suggested, it is best to take the phone to the repair.
since both batteries were at capacity, i dont see a need to charge them. yes, i could take it in for repair, but im trying to learn to do this myself. o, and thanx for your POV.
and im still looking for an answer as to what i need to test for.
I just got the Realme GT 2 Pro after replacing my 3 year old Xiaomi one. I want to use this new phone for at least 5 years, and I've been learning ways to help the battery not die quickly. I've learned to charge the phone until 80% and I've been doing that for a week and a few days now. It does annoy me that the battery feels weak since I am missing 20% charge. I'm contemplating to just charge it normally, but on a 10W charger rather than the 65W charger it has. Should I continue charging it up to 80% or just use it normally?
20-80% is best but decay is inevitable
You could probably get AccA and set a charging cap.

If you look at charging chart, the OS keeps battery at around 75% overnight

Down the road, replacing battery does not seem hard.

I cannot see the point of this, and with all respect I doubt this phone would be worth using after 5 years. More likely will not get any security updates by then and I dont think it will have much custom support either. On the other hand the manufacturers just sh1thing out 100s of phones a year, god knows what phones we would have in 5 years time, but for example I wouldn't want to use an old Sami S8 or 9 as my daily phone.
It is a good device and I like its battery life. I use it as a secondary phone therefore I share the battery usage with my other phone. In my usage I get a day and a half or 2 days out and would still have around 30-35% left. That's when I normally charge my phones, never let it discharge totally. I have seen in some articles that some experts don't recommend charging it over 80% due to the quicker wear of the battery. Honestly I cannot back this up.
There are a few things however what I can.
Do not charge when the phone is in use, like you have a long gaming session and you charge at the same time. The heat is the biggest enemy of the battery and charging and intensively using the phone at the same time could cause quicker wear out.
The second thing I never do is plug it up to charge overnight. With the quick charge tech this device has, its not even needed because its charges up in around 30mins for me. As soon as charged I disconnect. I noticed on my older iPhone when I charged it overnight, it caused quicker wear.
The above is my experience had over the years using several smartphones, but I hope it helps. Or just good luck using your GT2 pro in 5 years time
