Has anyone else had a problem where the DZ battery discharges while the device is switched off? I have twice had the problem now where I charge up before turning off for the night, then when I switch on again in the morning it is only half charged.
I am going to try removing the battery overnight to see if I still get the same effect, but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
I definitely shouldn't be discharging overnight. But more likely I would think would be the battery being faulty, and just not holding charge.
However, I wonder if it's a battery calibration issue. i.e. when the phone is on, the ROM *thinks* it's fully charged or whatever. But then when it's powered off and left for a while, when next booted the ROM looks again and decides something else ?
Has the battery meter has been properly calibrated? Charge it to 100%, then let it drain to about 30%. Repeat a couple times, so the battery meter actually knows what voltages correspond to "full" and "empty".
Also, somebody posted on here recently, about his G2/DZ having bad power drain while the screen was off. He exchanged the phone, and the new one was fine.

I am still experiencing this problem, and I am getting slightly concerned if I am the only one. I have now had the battery discharge significantly overnight when the device is off on a number of occasions (it was fully charged last night & 8% when I turned on this morning). This has occurred with 2 different batteries, and DOESN'T occur when I take the battery out of the device overnight. I therefore deduce it is the DZ and not the battery that has the problem.
Is there any process which continues to run when the device is powered off? Is there an internal clock (for example) which continues to use power?
I have overclocked the DZ, but I can't recall whether I encountered the problem before that or not.
Has no-one else had this problem?
well I get a discharge overnight I thought everyone did due 2 the signal? I put my phone on airplane mode and fixes the problem... 1% or 2% usage at a max overnight
Hey guys just checking in if anybody has had this issue and a solution. My moto 360 charges up until 92% and then discharges after that point. It never gets to a 100%. I've tried rebooting the device, even resetting it and it's still stuck at 92%. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I may have the same issue as of late. Cant seem to get it past 94%.....
I was having the same problem. I let the moto 360 battery run out completely until the watch turned off, then I let it charge on the dock overnight. It sits at 100% now, but the dock light never goes off.
cycling the battery a couple times might help, it did for me at least.
For me it didn't get past 98% for a good 4 hours within the first few days. So it's all about the charging cycles. Well for me anyways. Mine charges pretty quick to 100% now without much issue. This is with the 4.4w.1 update of course.
I just received mine yesterday, set it up, charged to about 97% last night and turned it off. Woke up this morning and finished the charge before leaving for work so that I was starting with a clean 100%. So far this morning I've been playing with it pretty heavily and showing it off to people at work but did notice that the percentages have been swinging back and forth a few times, like for example, after a period of heavy activity I checked the battery and it was at 94% but in checking a few minutes later it was up to 95%.
This sort of reminds me of when I flash a new AOSP rom on my phone and it takes a day or so for the battery and software to get in sync with each other. The graphs on battery history (still talking about the phone) show percentage going up a little, like the software predicts what it should be but then somehow determines that it has overcompensated and credits you a few percentage points. After a few days this effect goes away on the phone and it appears to settle.

Happened to me maybe 3 times. I dont know what it is. Sometimes restarting works. I even flipped the watch upside down and that worked. one time it stuck at 97% and after it restarted, it showed 100%

Since the new update the dock light won't turn off.

Thanks for this. I completely drained my 360 and now it goes to 100%
This is what I posted in other thread:
I can honestly say that I found the issue of the Moto 360 getting stuck while charges, since I bought it almost 3 weeks ago I hadn't been able to get a full charge in my bedroom, I live in Puerto Rico and here is basically Summer all year, average temperatures 80-85 with lower around 65 degrees on Christmas time and highest around 95-100% during July and August, plus 75-90% humidity. Well, with all that said, my bedroom is closed all day, so when I get home it's very hot, as soon as I get there I open windows and all doors but it takes a while to get it cooler. Since I got the Moto 360, I was getting home, changing clothes and putting the watch to charge, it never fully charged, I've tried everything suggested here and other forums, the only place it charged completely was on my Family Room where I have a lot of ventilation and is way colder than my bedroom.
Last Wednesday I got home and just turn the A/C on as soon as I got there, 30 minutes later I put my watch to charge and it charged fully for the first time, so immediately I realized that the only difference this time was that the room was cooler. So I decided to make some tests and I have concluded that every time I put my phone to charge in a cool room it charges completely, but as soon as I try to do it in a warm or hot room it never fully charges, it's obvious that the watch gets warm and hotter while charging so if the environment in which you are charging it it's even hotter it just stops charging, maybe to just protect itself or something.
Those of you with the same issue, just try this and see what happens. Good luck
Hello,
My Moto 360 seems to be stuck at 83 or 84% after a full night on the charger...
It's been the case for the two previous nights, at least.
I've tried restarting the watch, before putting it again on the charger -> No change, still stuck at 84%.
I've then tried resetting it, reinstalling and charging -> No change, still stuck at 84%
After reading posts where people stated that a complete discharge/recharge cycle would let them get back to 100% charge, I tried that as well.
The good news is that it took 28h for my watch's battery to deplete completely, quite significantly more than what I expected.
The bad news is that it charged up to 85%, then down to 83/84% again while seated on the charger.
In a desperate attempt to find something else to try, I put my Moto 360 on another Qi charger, and the battery level climbed up to 92%, which was encouraging... Unfortunately, it stopped there, and didn't go up to 100%, so I don't know what I can make of all this.
As for the theory about the room temperature, it's always been the same here, between 20 and 25°C (70-75°F), so not anything I would call hot.
So I got mine a few days ago and I've noticed when on the charger I get 2 different level of screen brightness. I've also had the problem of only getting 94% some times 97% but what I found that worked was that if I turn the watch off then put it on the charger it turns on and the charging display is really dim and it gets to 100%. If I just put it on the charger the display does not get as dim. The fastest and best charge is with the display off I've been playing with getting this done but haven't found a sure way to get the display off while charging.

I think there is something to the temperature idea. When I first got it, the weather was pleasant, never going above the upper 70s, so my living room was also pleasant, and it charged to 100% within an hour with no problems. Since the cursed summer heat, of 85-90 everyday, I can't get it past 98%. Which is not too bad, but I can't help waiting for another cooler day (hopefully before the fall) to see if it can get to 100% quickly again.
I do not have any problems getting my 360 to charge to 100%. What I do when charging is to set the 360 on its charger. Then with my phone I turn on Ambient Screen. When the 360 screen dims I turn off the Ambient screen. This keeps the 360 screen dark for quite a while. Works for me.

Hi everyone,
I bought the phone on December from Gearbest and I have some issues. First of all the most important one, battery. For some days I've been noticing a very strange behavior, the battery might seem charged at 100% but may turn off at 60%. Also noticed that while charging it goes from 7% to about 34% within half an hour or less, then suddenly goes up to about 60%. I can't be sure anymore if the phone will last when I'm out. Also, sometimes when entering the battery menu, it says it has no available battery data and the diagram only shows it's current battery percent. What can I do to determine if it's an issue with the battery or the charger? Is there a way to calibrate the battery?
Secondly, the fingerprint issue I've had since day 1 but I thought it might be a software problem that an update would fix but that didn't help. I've never added a fingerprint because at the "add a finger" screen the graphic appears but won't recognise any move, after a bit the whole screen freezes and I push the home button to go back.
Any suggestions? I was so unlucky with this order and it was my first Chinese phone...next time I think I'll stick to the large brands...
Hi,
I use a wireless charging stand (Seneo), which I used for my P4XL without issue. I have had a couple of occasions where I have placed it on overnight (I'm sure I heard the "charging buzz" as I placed it), to find it at 69%ish in the morning.
So, it either didnt charge, drained massively in the morning before picking it up or possibly I didnt dock it correctly, which I'mm 99% sure I did.
After the first instance of this, I turned off adaptive charging just to be sure.
Anyone else had this? Think I'm going to be ultra OCD about putting it on the stand all the time now!!!
Maybe the charging rate was throttled due to overheating.
Initially the issue i had with my phone was that it would randomly stop charging and it started to do it quiet frequently as well. I thought that it was charger jack issue but after searching regarding it over internet i found out that the issue was related to battery when it got worn out to a point that phone would refuse to charge it randomly.
To fix this issue, 3 days ago i got my battery changed. Went back home, used Accubattery and Voila! 40% battery health (1500 mAh). The dude put a terrible battery in my phone so i am going to get it changed again from him soon.
However, another issue i found out was that as Accubattery told that phone was never going into deep sleep. It was sipping 7% battery in an hour when the phone's screen was off. I am barely getting 1.5 hour screen on time at the moment if i turn all the power saving features ON. What is causing this issue? Any clue?
Any clue what is causing the issue? There is a very big one staring you in the face: the battery.
I don't know why you would go back to a guy who clearly scammed you with a POS battery, but all your issues stem from the battery currently in your unit. In your position I would be moving heaven and earth to get a genuine battery and finding someone reputable to do the work.
