Hey Guys,
i got my ZL 3 or 4 weeks ago, and can say it´s absolutly awesome, but since ca. 2 weeks, i have a problem with my battery. The problem begun, as i found my battery completely discharged, so i put it on the charger. But it didn´t charge the whole night. In the next morning it startet to charge, i waited till 100% an took it off the charger. Over the day, i watched the battery drain, and it was more than normal, the battery went empty, after a 5 or 6 hours with 95% standby time. At home i charged the phone again up to 100%, ab pluged it off, the next morning, the battery had lost not a single percent off its charge. So i went to work, with the phone in my pocket. A little later the phone got really hot, i pulled it out and, found the battery with only ca. 55%, so i turned off the phone. 45 minutes later, i turned it on again, and the battery had only 27% left. And so it goes on the next days, with more or less battery drain, some days the battery holds 10 hours perfectly, and at some other days it only holds 4 hours and less. And now the charging procedure have problem too, when i charge the phone via USB, it charges unbelieveble slow, and even discharges sometims , but when i charge it with the power adapter, it charges unbelieveble fast, you can watch the percentage rise in minutes. I tried the STAMINA modus but, it didn´t help at all, and the screen is on the lowest brightness.
And i have too say, i don´t have any apps activ, and 3G is only on for a few seconds sometimes.
The phone isn´t rooted, or everything else, it´s completyly stock.
I hope someone experienced any similiar problem, and have a solution for me, because it´s an awesome phone and i didn´t want to miss it.
(Sorry for my not so good english)
Yours faithfully
Tim

ok, over the last week or so ive had this issue, gradually getting worse...
my battery will charge to around 40-45% and then charging will slow right down.
two hours later, it will be on around 50% if im lucky, and about 3 more further hours before i hit 60% (this is some of the time, other times, it just remains on its current charge%)
if i leave it overnight for about 10hours or so, highest it goes to now is about 73%, but this is rare, usually 45-50%ish.
ive tested with htc ac wall charger, htc usb, blackberry charger, car charger and a random microusb wallcharger. all have same issue.
when tested with two friends desire hd's on different days, my battery charged perfectly, and at the normal gradient speed over the % range. and my phone reads it correctly at the 100%-98% when back in my phone after change back.
i thought it was down to my phone, just dont know if its rom or hardware. shud i factory restore, or claim on insurance?
i have another issue here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18480603&posted=1#post18480603
which also applies to the question of restore or insurance...
thanks
What Rom are you using, i am using runny 2.2 only 62% charge in 6 hours
9 hours later on battery only upto 68% i have amazing battery life now
i'm using runny 2.2.....left it on charge for 2 hours with phone on, but wifi and everything off and it had only gone up 2% ! !
Turned phone off and plugged in charger, 30 mins later, only went up 1% ! !
72% charge at this point.
So took it off charge, put it in my pocket, went upstairs to bed, turned it on to set alarm and it said 100% on battery....weird!!

Lol this is an issue with calibration. The battery is charging but the software doesnt report it.
You have to charge the phone for as long as possible so you know it is on 100% whether the software says it or not, go into CWM, wipe the battery stats and then let the battery drain fully until it shuts down by itself. Then plug it in and leave it until you know for certain it is at 100%. If the green light comes on leave it for an additional half an hour. Then it will be fixed.
ive only recently got this handset, as last one was replaced on insurance a month or so ago, and its runuing on stock rom with latest updates....?
Hi, after 3 happy years with my xperia s, here it is a major issue. Three weeks ago, in the middle of a phone call my xperia shuts down (battery at about 85%) and no mean to restart, it was like dead. No led if in charge or connected to my pc. After three days, a friend opened the phone, pull of the battery, reconnected the battery and, here it goes, it started again. But, another issue now, battery drains at 10% each hour in stand by. I changed the battery with a new one, same thing, i had a hard reset, same thing. Battery status shows 30% consumed by the screen (but it was only 15 min !) and google services 25%. Anybody has an ideea how to fix it ? Thanks for your answer.
running the 2/16 release of CM11, battery meter is acting funky, but battery life seems normal. I have no idea if it started with CM11 install or just out of the blue. couple week ago after 13 hours of running on battery I noticed the meter still said 100%, then about an hour later it said 52%, and 30 seconds later 12%, battery low warning, and 15 seconds later it did a clean power off. plugged in, powered off charging said 9%, and was 52% again in about 30 seconds.
battery still lasts all day, but I have no idea how drained it is until about an hour before it's dead. it also won't actually charge unless the meter says it's below 100%, but plugged in it also doesn't drain it more. using an app to monitor the battery, it rarely shows above 3850mv, and will hover there all day long going up and down 300mV or so, but then late in the day it'll break from 100% around 3700mv and the % starts dropping.
so, what's going on here?
so, left on charger overnight (as I do every night), status app said USB power on but discharging. came to work, plugged it in (as I sometimes do), battery said 100%, again USB power and discharging.
unplugged to go to lunch, 54%. sat down to eat, 65%. few minutes later, 70%. from there it started dropping at a normal rate. used it heavily all through lunch, only went to 58%, and seems to be charging normally now as well. I'm so confused... it's been wrong for at least 2 weeks strait through multiple charges and reboots.
What about 'calibrating' the battery?
if it does it again I'll to find time to drain it and then fully charge it powered off, but with an inaccurate reading of what the charge is it was very difficult to fit that into my schedule.
it seems to have calibrated itself now, as it's been fine all weekend.
so the questions is now: what caused it, and why did it fix itself some weeks later? I certainly didn't do anything anywhere near a calibration cycle.
Has anyone else noticed that 100% battery lasts much longer than any other percentage?
For example, last night I had my phone charging while I was watching TV and fell asleep. When I woke up a took my fully charged phone and went to bed while leaving it off the charger. I woke up five and a half hours later with the battery still at 100%. I then used it for 15 minutes of browsing before it finally dropped to 99%. However, if I had went to bed with less than 100% it would have drained probably 1-2% in the same amount of time with no usage at all. It almost seems like 100% is really only like 98% and it can actually be charged to more than 100%. After it drops to 99% the drain rate is pretty consistent.
I actually noticed this when I first got the phone almost a month ago and at first I thought there was a problem with the phone being stuck at 100% because it stayed there much longer than any other percent.
Anyone else see this? It doesn't really bother me since everything below 100% is very consistent. I'm just curious.
Same happens here. I listen to music (bluetooth to truck stereo) for about an hour everyday on the way to work. When I get there it still says 100% every day. Then after about an hour in my pocket doing nothing it magically says 96%. I have been suspecting that the on screen percentage is not registering the drop in power for a short while. But maybe I'm wrong.
I remember the Nexus 6p used to do that, haven't experienced it yet with my pixel though.

I have noticed that as well. Usually, my ~30 minute bus ride consists of my phone draining between 5% to 10%. But when I have the phone start from 100%, it's never drained beyond 5% by the end of it. Must have something to do with the fact that the phone charges slower when it reaches 80% or above (which they only claim to prolong battery health, not battery life). Eh, won't complain about it :fingers-crossed:
Very odd ever since the phone died since it was really cold out ( i left it in car for a few seconds and looked at my phone and it was dead ) its been shuting off or dieing around 10% left but drains normally. but can still turn it back on once its plugged into a wall charger. so im not sure on what to do cause i mean i only had it for a year now.
it happens with mine too, 2-3 weeks ago.
I had 40%+ and after few sec, was dead too.
I turn it on with 1% battery lol
was thinking of letting it die once then letting it cable charge not fast charge saw a video for an older phone to do that with some call code to reset the battery gauge

I have the same problem since a few weeks.
The percentage drops from 15% to zero.
Mine was a bit different, I was in 13% and then when I plugged in the cable to charge my phone, it showed I was actually in 6%. My friends, our phone is aging
Since it became cold outside I'm having the same problem
Yes
I had this problem with my Galaxy A5 2016 and now with my Galaxy S9...
Never go under 10% if you can't charge within 1 minute or better less. That's why I have a battery case.
So I think I fixed mine a video is for a note 4 ut I think it worked for mine also. Make sure your phone is almost dead and turn off fast charging then go to the phone dial up (built in app) and dial *#0228# and click the quick start (this will restart your battery gauge) let it die then charge to full might take longer but it's worth it.
