My mi pad 4 turns off for no reason every 40-50 days with at least 30% battery .
Fast boot is not working. Last couple of times i tried holding & pressing random keys and eventually it came back to life.
This time i am not able to boot it up. Ive tried charging it for about 48h. Apparently its not charging either.
Does anyone have the same experience? What's wrong? What should i do about it?
Hi,
Like the mipad 1, i have the same problems with the 4..
Pressing power for 15 sec often work for me.
I recently bought one from aliexpress and i am faced with the same issue! D:
It turned on and i was able to set everything up but after about an hour the device dies (if left alone) or freezes if it happens while i'm using it and gets stuck is edl mode (computer recognizes it as a qualcomm device)
If the device freezes while i use it my pc can recognize it via ADB but says (offline) so i can not issue any commands.
the only way i'm able to get it to work is either let it sit for literally days, or let the battery drain to 0%.
I've tried re-flashing the original Chinese rom. No luck. same issue.
I've tried custom roms, issue still persists.
I'm currently messing around with it to see what it might be but i think that the retailer messed the device up when they installed their Global version on miui.
:/
I don't believe that it is the battery that is the issue because when i can get it back on w/o depleting the battery it is still at the same percentage.
Its a shame because it is a sexy device...well sexy paperweight.
I have the same issue and yes it is about 30% battery when it happens. To get it back to life I disconnect battery for a couple of seconds and it works fine for next month or two. Hope someone could find a cause of that and fix it.
I've changed battery and it seems to fix the problem. Last month before changing mipad started turning off few times a week. For now it seems ok,

Hey guys.
I have a problem with my HTC EVO 3D. I've been using it for a year and everything was fine until yesterday. I was playing Real Racing 3 when my phone suddenly restarted and then turned off before I could enter my PIN code and didn't boot up. I thought that it might have overheated or it was some crash or something, I put the phone to charging and it easily turned on (I must mention, that there were about 70% battery left). I charged my phone and didin't use it whole afternoon. In the evening, I was trying to unlock my phone (with about 70% of battery) when suddenly the same happened again - the phone restarted and before entering PIN code turned off at all. After that I wasn't able to boot my phone.
I tried charging it with original HTC AC charger and also using my laptop and even a car charger, but nothing changes.
When the phone is not plugged in to charging, it doesn't show any signs of being alive. I tried pressing volume down/up/camera buttons + power on button, taking off the battery for about an hour, charging the phone for ~6 hours. Nothing works.
However, I realised that when I connect the phone to my laptop, there is a 'new device is connected' sound, but I am not able to access my memory card or do something else. Also, when the phone is charging, the red charging light is on, which after a few hours turns to green and after some more time disappears at all. When trying to turn on the device while it is charging the red light disappears as soon as the power button is released ant comes back after about 20 seconds.
Sorry for such long story and for my bad English. I am very disappointed. I still have a warranty, but I dont want to take the phone there, because the fixing lasts at least 2-3 weeks and also since I'm unable to boot my phone, there are a lot of my personal information in it, such as passwords,messages, bookmarks and so on, left.
So, is there anything I could do or should I take my phone to service?
P.S. The phone is not rooted and never was. Everything is original and up to date.

Perhaps try a new battery or take it in and have them try one. Sounds like a battery issue.

Thanks. I took it to service. I hope they'll repair it.
I finally got my HTC back a few days ago. They changed the motherboard and I had to buy a new battery since the old one was dead and warranty for it was only a year.
But I've faced several unexpected crashes during these few days. I think 3 or maybe 4 times when I took the phone after not using it for couple of hours and tried to unlock it, the phone didn't unlock and instead turned on. I really don't like this, because if my phone turns off whenever it wants, I may be unreachable
Does anyone knows what that means and what should I do if this keeps happening?

This happens on stock rom?

Yes, the soft has always been and is stock.
Then it must be a hardware issue. If your warranty has not expired, take it to the warranty service.

Well as I said I dont want to take it there because it takes about three weeks or more till I get back my phone.. It would be the third time in two months and it really annoys me.
Couldn't this be software issue? I mean I've been reading some similiar threads and I found out that some app might be killing the phone. So I did hard reset yesterday and after that installed only well known essential apps (Google services and some others) and after that the phone didin't crash for almost two days. Unfortunately, it did turned off a few minutes ago. I've installed only 8 Ball Pool and Smart Keyboard Pro recently, so I will try unninstalling them both and let's hope the phone won't crash again. Is there any ideas what else may I do in case it doesn't work?

Id recommend doing a factory reset on the phone and not installing any app for at least a week to confirm its not a hardware issue, but I strongly believe it is. If it fails youll have to take it to a sprint store and hope the clerk is in a good mood and give you a new phone the same day.
try a new battery
The battery is new, I had to buy it only a week ago, because the service stated that the old one was dead.
Hi everyone! I've a problem that's bothering me since i've bought this phone. Let's start from the first day when my beautiful gs2 arrived and there's no way it would turn on, i tried charge the battery but it didn't work too, it displayed the grey battery logo and then reboot in a loop. Then magically after some hours it started working. After a few months the phone started rebooting or powering off by itself and after a few more weeks it wouldn't turn on or charge like the first day and like that it returned to life after few days. I took it to a samsung point and they changed the usb connector.
It all worked fine for a few months and then here we were again and the phone died and turn to life after few days and also this time they changed the usb connector.
Now it's begun rebooting again and i think it won't turn on few weeks from now.
I've noticed that when the phone reboot there's a vertical drop in the battery charge, almost to zero, only to recharges by itself instantaneously after rebooting. Few days ago the phone didn't reboot but the battery charge went instantaneously from 60% to 10% and then started slowly charging by itself till almost 25%.
What do you think about it? I'm starting to think the problem is the battery chip that control the charge, is it possible? It's integrated in the battery right? so if i change it the gs2 would be ok?
i would personally try another battery.
if that doesnt work, it might be the u503 chip on the phone.
i recently had an issue with that chip after slight water damage (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2462207) and noticed the same issue with the battery level, and it not turning on sometimes. tried with 3 different batteries and had the same problem.
got rid of the u503 chip, and its working fine now.
The problem is i don't have another battery. I tried the battery of a friend and it came back to life but there's no way to tell if it did the trick because it's random. The other times one second it was dead and the next one it was working again even without changing anything.
In my case when the phone reboot it doesn't get hotter so i think it's different from yours. More over is still under warranty so it's better not to touch it yet
Hey guys,
unfortunately my 3-year old Razr died the other day. Battery has been an issue for the past few months where I had the battery completely drained 2 times but always got the device back to work. This time it's different though.
I shut down the Phone at aprox. 20% Battery to safe it from low charge. I have NEVER flashed a custom rom, the phone is purely stock. The phone wouldn't turn on the next time i tried. Initially , I had zero reaction. Then, I got at least the white LED when charging with the original adapter. Let it charge a few days. The white light would turn off after a few hours but the phone is still dead.
I replaced the battery with another (new) EB20 but still nothing. I bought a wall charger (1A) and still nothing. I even tried direct charging the battery for a few hours and still no effect. Also, every combination of Power+Volume buttons didnt work.
So i bought a factory cable but still didnt get any reaction. When hooked up to a computer via USB i have a "connecting" and "disconnecting" sound. Once the device was detected as OMAP 3340 but couldnt install it. The problem is that I dont even get the phone into fastboot mode.
On my research, I found these posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055839
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047750
I think this will be my last try and option, but i have no experience whatsoever with flashing and I find the description very hard to understand and follow. Is there maybe someone who can explain step by step what there is to install/do and in what order? This would be awesome.
Greets,

Ok I've had the Moto Z for a while and its a great phone. Or it was until a few weeks ago. In the space of a couple of weeks a few official updates were sent to my phone and thinking nothing of it I updated as requested. The last update has seriously messed the phone up.
Problems since the update:-
- Battery drain now has the phone running out in about 10 hours. This problem seems to be intermittent, the majority of the time it happens and drains the phone quickly but not all of the time and usually its Android OS using between 25-50%. Also safe mode has no effect on the problem.
- Phone speaker stops working. Start the phone up and its working, but after a undetermined amount of time (no more than a hour or so) the speaker no longer works. If I get a call I have to turn on speaker phone to be able to hear anyone. Reset the phone and it works normally, only to happen again soon after.
- Phone charging stops working. Again start the phone and plug in the charger and it works fine. But after its charged, again after a undetermined amount of time, charge no longer works. Plug the charger in and the phone indicates its charging with the little light coming on at the top. But nothing else on the phone indicates its charging and the battery continues to drain. Reset the phone and suddenly it chargers normally. Same thing then happens again given time.
What I've tried to do about it:-
- I've tried running in safe mode, which makes no difference
- I've tried a full reset, which makes no difference
- I even unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom OS (Lineage). Thinking that obviously this will wipe out the new update from Lenovo and the phone would have to work properly again. But no, nothing changes, somehow Lenovo have done something beneath the OS that's causing these problems.
The question:-
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or have you at least seen these issues before?
I fail to gasp what is the purpose of the topic and I don't see a question.... If you're looking for compassion, I think the internet is the wrong place.
If you're sure that the problems is the updates, downgrade to the latest version that worked well for you. Since you've already unlocked the bootloader, try any of the variety of roms available here to verify you don't have a hardware problem.

The point of my post is obvious, I've got a issue with my phone and want to know if anyone has seen this issue with the Moto Z before and if they have any idea what may fix it. The question is right there near the end:
"Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or have you at least seen these issues before?"

Honestly don't know how my post was unclear at all, but I've gone and tried to make it even more clear with a quick edit, hope that helps.
I have exactly the same problem. For me it occurred after updating to nougat. So fare I tried nearly everything. Disabling nearly everything to the bare minimum, custom ROMs, resetting, trying to flash only parts of the Android 6 firmware (modem, Bluetooth, DSP) since a complete downgrade is not possible, using all kinds of battery tools with a rooted device, using custom kernels... I always ended up with a constant battery drain of 3 to 8 percent per hour no matter what I did. Same in flight modus. Since under Android 6 the device didn't show this behavior I think that the problem must be somewhere in the firmware beneath the OS level. An the cruel thing is that sometimes without a reason for maybe an hour or two my moto z doesn't drain an works fine so that I do not believe in a hardware problem.
Thanks for the post. Yeah it seems like something has been changed underneath the OS. I know that sometimes memory config gets changed with newer Android operating systems (at least I think so?), but could that cause all these problems?
BTW, do you have all three of the problems I mentioned? Battery drain, sound stops working and charging stops working?
Since in this condition the Moto z is not really usable for me I switched back to my old phone and I am not using it that much as a daily device, I cannot really tell about sound or charging problems. So far I did not notice those problems.

I feel like battery life is a bit worse than with M, but I didn't experience anything as bad as you did. I switched to a custom ROM after updating to 7.0.1

I've never seen anything like it before. Its so random as well. I mean yesterday I rebooted and then charged the phone before I left for Football at 4pm. At about 11pm that night I heard the battery low sound (45% of the battery had be used by Android OS..). First thing I thought of was that usually the phone wouldn't still be making sounds by now. Since as I said earlier usually the speaker stops working along with charging within a hour or so of a reboot and this had been over 7 hours without a reboot. So I tried plugging it in and it started to charge. But then when I woke up this morning again the sound was disabled and it won't charge, it just took longer for the problem to occur this time..
How can we stop asking to update to this patch?
I has already disabled this on the developer preferences but still asking every 10 minutes
Any suggest please
Mine even worst. Battery drain fast and mobile away very warm. It suddenly reboot and shown low battery. Battery drain from 50 to 3 percent in a second! Have you guy come across this?

Yep I've also had that as part of my problem, though it had only happened a few times over the course of the month so I forgot about it with all the other problems I mentioned going on.
Basically my phone would be sitting on, say 40%, and after a reboot it would start up in the single digits.
I recently tried changing to a custom kernel to see if maybe that was causing the problem (I'd already tried changing OS). But all the problems are still there using the new kernel. Think my next step should be to try to go back to a 7.0 Android version. Are there any custom Android ROMs using 7.0?
It is said that the Motorola Manager can rescuer lost data even if the data has been covered on phone , is it true ?
Just curious what came of this. My Z, unrooted, has started running crazy hot and the battery life is not good. 6-10 hours. When I connect it to my Anker PowerDrive 2 in the car, the battery actually discharges faster or I get the slow charge warning.
Hi I have exactly the same problems as the op and tried resetting to no avail.Its driving me nuts.
Short update about the massive battery drain problem: like I wrote above, in the past weeks I tried everything from custom kernels to custom roms, resetting, deleting and so on. Nothing helped. So I went back to stock and didn't use the phone the last weeks. Today I read in an other thread about bluetooth problems that a fix for the not working bluetooth was to activate flight mode, restart the phone and deactivate flight mode. So I activated flight mode, pressed the power button for 10 seconds or so until the phone restarted an deactivated flight mode. And now the absolute strangest thing happened: for the last 5 hours the phone lost 0% battery in standby with wifi and lte on. Since I did all the mentioned things above without any effect I do not understand this at all but right now I think that this could be a (temporally) fix also for the battery drain problem.
Hi Community,
Everything was working fine and couple of days back, my poco F1 on PE 11 started acting wierd. I had to boot it while plugged in or it got stuck in bootloop. But once I boot it, it will work without any problem (unplugged). But since this morning, it won't start or work without plugging it in. And when I stop charging it will work for a while(mostly well until i press power button to lock or unlock) but suddenly goes off and goes in bootloop.
charge percentage also acts weird. While switching on without plugging in, it sometimes shows 0% charge but when I plug it in and use for 10 minutes, battery goes Normally from 1 to 20% and then suddenly it shows 100%.
I opened twrp recovery (which works without plugging in) and kept the phone in recovery for 2 hours, i know it doesn't drain much battery but it just went from 100% to 97 %
Did anyone face similar problem? I am not technically sound in these things. I need help from you guys to get this monster working. Thanks in advance
The reason why I kept it in twrp recovery for couple of hours(unplugged) was to check if it goes off in recovery mode but it didn't.
Here's one similar thread i found but not sure mine is a battery issue since it suddenly started misbehaving.
