The battery seems to charge rather strangely. As in both the screenshots, the battery drains to near zero levels before charging again, although it's plugged in all the time. Anybody else facing the same problem?
Stock OS. Haven't updated anything.
Not that I'm aware of ...
i have the same problem my friend but not always...
Unexpected source
The problem seems to lie in the charger, and not the phone itself. I got a replacement charger from HTC, and I have no problem now.

Hey all,
I'm having a bit of a problem with my Nexus. It was working fine up until today, when all of a sudden (when it was low battery) the screen kept coming on every time I turned it off with the low battery warning. Each time it did it seemed like the percentage was going down by one. I restarted the phone and it then told me 0% remaining briefly before shutting off.
Now the battery icon is flashing as if it is being charged even when it is not plugged in. When I plug it in from the mains it also seems to sometimes say Charging (USB) instead of (AC). When I plug it in to charge while the phone is off it does not show a charging icon (waited for a minute or so).
It sounds very similar to the bug reported here. Could this possibly be a ROM/Kernel issue (I'm running Manhattan ROM) or do I have a hardware fault?
Cheers

You are having this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427539
This is a hardware problem. You should RMA your device, or change the USB charging board yourself.
I had this exact problem myself, and tried many ROM/kernel combinations but it didn't help. As I didn't want to RMA my phone to clove.co.uk, I bought this board (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150713366355) which fixed the problem.
Hey everyone.
My note 2 is displaying some odd behaviour. On the grand scheme of things it isn't a big problem, but it's curious and I wanted to know if anyone else has had the experience.
The phone starts charging fine but from time to time it will stop charging (the screen turns on and the icon moves back to standard battery icon). The odd thing is after a few minutes the charging notification sounds and the phone charges again. This seems to happen between 5-6 times in a full cycle. I've never noticed as I charge overnight. Everything eventually charges fine and it's not slow or anything.
Anyone seen this before?
*edit*
Thought it may be something to do with the phone going to sleep. I have entered developers mode and ticked the box which disables screen off in mains. The batter has charged from 65% to full without incident. Will continue monitoring and see if I can find anything else interesting
Hi all,
I have been running my Z1 Compact on 4.4.4 for the longest time, mainly due to sound issues after updating to Lollipop.
Recently, the battery has been dropping randomly from 60 odd percent to 3 or 4 and then shutting down all within a few seconds. The last time it did this, I tried charging it when I got home but the charging light would not stay on, thus it was not charging. All typical signs of battery failure due to age.
Having already replaced the battery successfully on my Z1, I bought a replacement original Sony battery and replaced it. The problem persisted. On first boot, the phone got to the blue waves then black screen, and power off. Charging screen just showed the battery at about 40%.
I risked it and flashed the latest software with Flashtool, having done a complete wipe. The result of this proved no better, but I did get a different message on the charging screen, a message saying the phone had shut down due to overheating. Picture is attached.
The phone is in no way overheating and I've even booted it while sat on a shelf in the fridge to help dissipate any heat generated but with no luck.
So, the old battery maybe did overheat and caused the phone to shut down, I'll accept that as a probability. It may have even damaged something, but I don't think that's likely.
After changing the battery, I would have expected the problem to resolve itself, but it seems like some kind of hardware 'flag' has been raised that is now not allowing the phone to boot in case it overheats again.
Does anyone know of any way to resolve this, reset the 'flag' per se, other than going to Sony? The phone is definitely out of warranty due to its age, never mind me taking the back off lol
It is a shame because it has been a great phone over the years, and I would like to fix it if possible, even if to give it to one of the grandkids. I have my Z3 still (which I won't part with for anything) and I have an XZ too and both are great phones. I would just like to save the XZ1c if I can.
The phone is not, and has never been modified in any way, no rooting, no bootloader unlocking. Only stock roms have ever been flashed, and then only once or twice, to put it back on 4.4.4.
I have tried reflashing just the kernel, or just the system too, to no avail.
In desperation I even left it in the fridge for a few hours in case the temperature sensor was on the fritz, but that did nothing at all.
I just feel like there's nothing actually wrong with the phone, apart from this trigger that won't reset.
Any help greatly appreciated of course.
Thanks,
Mick
Maybe theres lot of consideration:
1. Rom Bugs
2. The Kernel not supported well
3. Battery Issues (But you already change it right)
There are two temperature sensors afaikin our phone. One in the SOC and another one in the battery (hence three pins).
The battery is probably the one giving the high temp report. Try yet another battery.
A bad battery normally heats up very fast inside and the battery temp sensor stops the battery from charging and/or working to protect the phone and the battery.
I changed my battery before when it had symptoms like yours 100-90-0 drop and after replacing with a battery from eBay it was OK. I gave it a full charge then complete discharge and then complete charge to full cycle the battery once and let the phone Guage its full capacity. one year later now my battery is acting funny again (not charging past 30%) and getting so hot when charging it triggers overheat control service in Android.
Any luck?
Apologies for the necro. But did you ever fix this issue, having the same problem

No, I never did figure it out. I've been loathe to spend more money on another battery when I've got other much newer phones. I really have no idea why it would not reset once the battery was replaced, maybe it's the replacement battery.
Have you tried changing the battery?
I've tried flashing different stock roms, Kit Kat, Lollipop, and it doesn't help.
Short of going to Sony, I'm not sure what else to do.
Hi,
Since a week or so, my Moto G5 phone is experiencing charging problems.
The problem is twofold (with the first being by far the most annoying). Both started simultaneously.
1. The phone doesn't start to charge after plugging in the charger. This happens with any charger (tried multiple cables, multiple adapters & USB-PC charging).
However, after I turn off the phone, the phone starts to charge. If I then boot it, it continues charging until I plug it out again in which case I have to reboot again to restart charging.
2. When charging, it charges intermittent. Every ~15 seconds it stops charging very briefly (less than half a second) and then continues right away.
I think these are very specific issues, which might be only software related. However, I think there is a bigger chance that it has something to do with the internal charging circuit. Do you agree? Does any of you have ever heard/experienced something similar?
One thing I shouldn't forget to mention: my phone did experience a short exposure to heavy rain right before the first time this happened. Could this be related and is there a waterdamage indicator in this phone?
Thanks for any help!
Chris
I have exactly the same problem (no exposure to rain though). Were you able to solve your issues?
My redmi note 8 is restarting continuously. Whenever I try to power on the device it is turning off when the MIUI logo lights up. And this will go on a loop like 4-5 times like restarting and then turning off. But when I power on the device when it is plugged in it will work like normal. But when I try to play any sound on it again it will turn off. I can play a video without sound when the device is plugged in but if I try to increase the volume, the device will power ooff again. Can anyone suggest me a method to resolve this issue ?
Battery issue.
Replace the battery

It's as the hmd said, battery issue. Get your battery checked asap, because I had the similar issue, and when I replaced my battery I found out the old battery had became too loose like jelly. The servicing guy even said that it was good that I changed the battery then because it could have exploded. So don't delay it and do something about it. Damaged battery can be dangerous.
Sorry to bump up this thread, I've some questions, did you already replace your battery? Currently facing the same issue, and I'm sure its 99.8% battery fault. Unfortunately I can't replace it right away. The question is, do you remember yours charging speed before? I notice my quickcharge doesn't really work, which is good i guess, before my battery getting really bad, I rarely get over 10w anymore, and its just keep dropping, getting stable at 6-7w, right now its only charge at 3.5w. I just want to make sure its only battery/bms problem, not some ICs fault.

that's normal. Your battery's health is not good so I guess it can't handle the fast charging speeds. My phone's charging had also became inconsistent when my battery was damaged. sometimes it was charging very slow and at times very fast.
