battery charging til 80% and other usb porblems xperia s
i have this weird issue, when charging my xperia s and using it at the same time it charges very slowly and and doesnt go above ~80%. Then i leave it charging and everything is fine, it goes full 100%, but then start using it it drains really fast til 80% (while still charging). It also doesnt start charging sometimes, even pc wont recognize it until i reboot the phone. also i just replaced battery few weeks ago.

Had Desire two weeks with no issues but suddenly it won't do a full charge and stops at 98%. Have to Reconnect lead to get to 100% but once removed it drops to 98 again and then down very quickly. On TMob with the older firmware.
Is the firmware the issue causing this? I have read elsewhere of others with same issue. I have no widgets running and no auto updates. Also phone on 2g only when I'm using net otherwise its off.
Any ideas?
Think this is by design - if the battery is already over 90% and you stick it on charge will not charge until it drops below 90% and then will charge upto 100%.

My battery is usually between 30% and 18% remaining!
my battery sometimes charges til 90% only, and then the light goes green. I have to reconnect the charger and then it charges to 100%. (sometimes)
I hope its a firmware issue with the charging! (older tmobile firmware here)
make sure you have fully discharged then recharged 3 times, then leave it on charge over night
also make sure you are charging with the charger provided and not another HTC charger or via the pc
The day i bought my SE Xperia Arc, i noticed that even after heavy usage the battery status did not go down even 1 %.
A couple of hours later it switched off. When i connected the charger, the charging did not go up even a little.
After a couple of days i realised that when ever i need to see the correct charge i need to restart my phone and while charging, whenever i need to see the correct charge i still have to restart my phone. The phone will stop taking charge at 52% at which point ill have to restart the phone again to make it go till 100.
i have tried a new charger and battery but the issue remains.

My phone has always charged slow using USB instead of a home charger. But now even on the home charger it can't keep up with the usage. It's literally draining the phone faster than it can charge it.
I've tried 3 different home chargers, 1 of the 3 will actually charge it, but it's very slow
I installed a backup I took 1.5 months ago, and it didn't help
I just put a new battery in and it didn't help either. Still draining fast.
Phone isn't getting hot, so I don't think it's a processor or radio issue.
The night before last I noticed it happening when I put it on the charger, and I took a look at the battery settings and was switching from charged to discharging status about 10 times per second. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it started working just fine.
Running CM9 HONO! 8.4. It's always been a great ROM.
Also, on the battery status, it shows that it's charging on USB even if it's on the home charger.
What's going on?
Ok, cleaned the terminal out. There was a bit of fuzz down in the bottom. Also scraped off the terminals and used some alcohol. Phone says it's charging on (AC) now instead of (USB), so that's good. Hopefully it was just a dirty terminal.
That fixed it. It's fully charged and ready to go. Glad it was just a little bit of lint.
Battery discharging while on charger.
The past 2 nights I've had the Acro S on charge via the wall charger through the USB plug (not in the cradle - due to a protective case) and during the night I noticed the phone charge with the Red LED showing and then it goes Green showing it above 90% - then later on in the night/early morning I've noticed the green light has gone out and checked the time and noticed that the battery has discharged to 80%
Looking at the battery stats it shows the phone had reached full capacity and then been discharging for a number of hours - the odd thing here is that the plug was still firmly in the phone and plugged into the wall with no chance of it being bumped - the other odd thing is that the charging lightening bolt was also still showing but the percentage was going down as I was trouble shooting all this.
Eventually I unplugged the phone a couple of times and the phone started charging again and reached 100% and was still like this when I picked it up to use it for the day.
This has occurred 2 nights in a row.
The manual says that the phone will reach full capacity while on the charger and will also self discharge and recharge again by itself but I think a 20% drop is a bit more that what would be considered normal especially when you want the phone fully charged in the morning.
If anyone knows what is going on here or has experienced this kind of behavior I'd be keen to know about it.

Nobody else has this problem yet I see.......
Its been a few days and this morning I've got the following
0650 hrs - battery showing discharge after being on the charger all night - red charging LED on and screen showing lightening bold charging symbol but battery still discharging and sitting at 81%
0701 hrs - phone still on charge, battery now 79%
0741 hrs - phone still on charger, battery now 77% - I cant believe that this is part of the battery cycling on charge
I'll contact Sony today and see if the battery is faulty - phone is only 2 weeks old.

Ok - so yesterday I went to the Sony support office in Khyber Pass New Zealand and the tech there said they dont support Acro S because its not been supplied by a NZ Sony distributor. So I then went to the place I bought it and they didnt want to look at the phone because its Rooted - I didn't tell them the boot loader is also unlocked - but they gave me an adapter so I could use the official Sony charger that I got with the phone (until now I've been using my old Xperia Neo charger) in the hope that the lower voltage rating might change things (they'd had acro Z which didn't charge on the Neo type charger they supplied).
So I got home and changed the power adapter over to the one that came with the phone using the adapter plug.
Last night I put the phone on charge and woke this morning to see that it had charged fully again and then since around 0400 it had discharged to 83%. I unplugged the phone and plugged it in again and it did not start charging - I did this a number of times and it didnt start charging but it did show that it was charging with the red LED and the lightening bolt on the battery and everywhere else it showed charge but the graph kept going down and the percentage kept dropping.
I had to reboot the phone for the battery to start charging.
I decided that I would re-lock the boot loader and repair the phone via Sony Update

Sony Update

On page 3 of the relock thread I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44093334&postcount=28 and waiting a reply from him to see if his issues were similar.
I've - re-locked and used Sony Update so now I'm back to square one I hope - I'm still going to root but I'm not going to bother unlocking the boot loader because I didn't find a kernel that could read external hard drives.
I'll update this if the phone continues to have a faulty charge...........
Hey, i've recently started to have issues with my S.
It sometimes de charges at quite a fast rate while on charge (this is while the screen is off also).
It doesn't show the red light while on and charging (when it does charge) and sometimes doesn't turn on while on charge while off for at least an hour.
It appears to happen when the battery is already fairly low, between 1-10% charge, the battery life is as decent as it gets with an S.
I have a feeling this probably might be the charger at fault, i've not tried any other chargers with it and i am using the charger and cable that
came with the phone.
This is not an issue of it not charging due to the cable, it charges no matter what placement.
Edit: It's now showing the red light while charging like it normally would and has fully charged again, i am going to fully charge and wipe battery stats and see what happens, i have a feeling it's because i've let the phone run down to low.
