Since Sunday my Aria has started heating up weirdly. When charging and while using, there is tremendous heating in the area right behind the optical touchpad.
Also the battery is not charging properly and discharging quickly.
I first thought it may be a battery problem, but wanted some genuine views regarding this.
Will changing my battery remove this issue? Has anyone faced anything similar?
There will always be heat around the touchpad whenever you are charging while using it. Happens to me all the time at least. Unless your battery exceeded 45 degrees Celsius, then that's abnormal.
You can track your battery stats for example, heat with apps in Market.
You said it discharges awfully quickly. Mind telling me, how long does it take for it to discharge from 100% to below 10%?
Really quickly.
For example, I charged the phone whole night from a wall charger, while switched off.
In the morning, I turn on the phone, it shows me 19% battery. I rebooted: 8%. Rebooted again: 2%. This all happened in about 5 minutes after taking the phone off the charger.
The phone used the 2% battery for about 15 minutes on standby, with no internet, before dying.
Now it does not even turn on. The battery is definitely gone, since it has bulged a bit. But I want to be sure before buying a new battery, if the new battery will face the same fate or not.
For now, I have given the phone to my brother who will test the battery in his phone. Let's see.
There's definitely a problem with the battery. It is advised you do not charge a faulty battery. It may damage your device or worse, explode depending on what the fault may be.

New battery should fix the problem. There's no reason to suspect that the phone is causing the problem.
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
Hello guys this is my first post talking about my problematic i9001
A few months back (in november last year) I consumed the battery till it got to 0% and it shut itself off without turning on. Whenever I tried to plug the charger in , it would show a grey battery with a circle in the middle on and on without charging . Then I tried plugging the battery to a universal charger and miracle ! The phone turned on ! But whenever I charge it , the phone gets reaaaaally hot and charges really slow .
Last night I left the phone to charge overnight (plugged it in at 2%) and in the morning the phone had the same grey battery logo meaning the battery is completely empty
So I know the battery has issues BUT does my phone also have USB charger issues ? Because it charges really slow and the phone gets really hot.
Sorry if I did any mistakes and if I did not give enough details

Hello,
So it's been two days I got my RN4 from FlipKart. It's loaded win MIUI 8 ver 8.2.5.0.
I plug in the charger, the notification led turns green at 73% and the battery indicator sticks there. Battery temp goes about 46° :fingers-crossed:: .
Have to unplug an re-plug again to start charging, then no issues with reaching 100%.
Many people are complaining that their phone stops charging at a certain percentage "after a update".
My question is - is it really a "after a update" calibration problem? Will it be solved with MIUI next updates? Or by installing custom ROM? Meanwhile, I'm still covered with FlipKart 10 days return policy, but still won't do it until it is confirmed that it is hardware problem, as their return process is very tedious.
Thanks!
Yes I faced the issue of charging stuck at 72% but only a couple of times not always.
In period of 20 days it happened 2-3 times then I switched to custom ROM and never faced the issue again.
I don't think it is a hardware problem.
Input from other users also may help you to decide further action.
hey, did u manage to work this out? my device is charging extremely slowly and before it also got stuck on 67 percent.

Will update you soon, just have done a factory reset and will again charge when battery goes about 20-30% level.
I will try to put it backside up so as to generate lesser heat. Maybe that will help.
For faster charging don't use it while charging, it easily goes 2000 mA in idle state. [Checked with AccuBattery]
I think I fixed mine. I updated to the dev rom (there is a trick to doing it without unlocking the bootloader) and am currently on the Nougat version. Now it charges at a good rate and I get a full charge in under 3 hours.
The backside up thing works, the kernel cuts amperage based on the temp of the battery and this phone is very finnicky to heat. Also if you want to drain the battery faster, try the battery waster app on Play Store. It starts all the phone sensors and can even leave the flash on if you want, letting u drain it in 6-8 hours.

i am getting the same problem. it is very annoying. i am on global developer 7.7.13. charging led also turns green at 73%. don't know what to do. please help me out. bootloader is locked. can't unlock because of 50% error
My s9 plus battery sometimes drains fast(1-2min) from %10 to %1.But I can keep using the phone when it reaches to %1 for a long time till the device turns off itself.Tried clearing cache but it happens again.Tried calibration too ı think but no way.How can ı resolve this? Factory Reset may be? Or my battery faulty?
Have you Try to change the battery
No i did not.it has been 1 year since i bought the phone
Happens to me as well, some say that is a Pie bug.
İ thought the same it seems a software issue ı didnt have it on Oreo
After i reached to 5% my battery dies so fast on like 30-40 seconds
may be a problem in my battery
