I've been trying to charge my 5X for the past few days.
Don't know if it's defective but, the phone won't 'fully charge.'
Meaning that the battery meter will show 100%. However, the lightning bolt symbol that shows when charging, doesn't go away.
I've tried charging it for many hours. Have tried restoring the phone. It'll show 100% but, the lighting bolt symbol doesn't go away.

I have a wierd issue on the new purchased TP2.
I am recently I owner of Tytn II, just switched over to TP2. Once I received the TP2, it came in a full battery status. Then I used it all up and then proceed to my 1st charge ( over 12 hours, with phone off)
Things happened after I woke up in the morning.
1. No lights on for charging ( I assume that's a new feature when battery is full, instead of charging when red )
2. once I turned on and shows only 45-50% of battery status.
So I used it all up again, and see if it charges on the this time.
I am just wondering if anyone have this charging issue.
Dude, you are not treating your battery correctly. The below link has some useful info. Especially the link in post 3 by Sjuust.

Btw, when it's charging, the status light will be a solid amber. When fully charged, it's a solid green. If there's no light, check your wires and stuff. Perhaps it's a bad socket.
Just doing a follow-up on the issue, the 2nd time not successful too
I tried and it worked only when I turn the device on to get a full charge.
Anyone think it's weird
Seems you mini usb does not connect propper. Try another cable, if this works you know the problem.
Or: press the male side of the mini usb each direction until you see a light burning. If this happens the usb opening in the phone is broken and you should get it fixed.
If this all does not work, still get it fixed. It's probably not the battery, but the usb opening in your phone.

that is very unusual as when phone is fully charged it stays on constant green light(led). at no time should it go off. unfortunately your battery may just need a few more normal charging cycles to achieve its full potential. if the led light goes off that is another issue! have you added any battery customizations?
Same problem here
I have - more or less - the same issue as D810Noob. My TP2 came fully charged out of the box. First time I charged it, the amber light was on during charging. Next morning no light was shown. I am not sure, but as I recall it, the battery was 100% charged. In the recent days, after one night charging (phone switched off) the green light is being shown but battery meter shows 89% (yesterday) or 91% (this morning). I have the 1% increment battery driver installed with the greenbatteryfix-icon installed.
This morning, after having switched on the phone and after having been confronted with 91% charge status, I reconnected the phone to the charger until it reached 100% (left the phone on during charging). With only two calls of two minutes in total and gprs (no hsdpa) running for two mail accounts, battery status dropped two 80% in 5:30 hrs. Never had such a drain with my TYTN2 that had (more or less) the same configuration.
It may very well be that my battery is not (yet) calibrated correctly, albeit that I fully discharged it last night. I will redo this a couple of times before returning to the shop, but this needs to be improved otherwise I will go back to my TYTN2.

Still having this issue. I have drained my phone completely yesterday evening until it switched off itself. Ten restarted until it switched off again. Then had it charge for forteen hours (phone switched off). When I switched on the phone this morning, battery meter showed 96%. A bit more than an hour later it shows 80%. Had no phone calls, only receipt of six emails and half an hour drive in my car with BT connection. BT is on continiously, BTW.
This does not look good, does it? Anyone who can shine a light on this?
Cheers, Dela
PS: the charging light was green when I took it off the charger this morning, whilst the battery meter showing the 96% charge status right after the startup.
Is anyone else having a problem with the touch pro 2 not charging fully when it is off. I have the Tilt2 and have tried many different ROMs. For whatever reason if i charge the phone while it is off, it only charges to around 96% or less. I do have the 1% battery driver installed and i can not figure out for the life of me why it will not fully charge. If i leave the phone on, it charges to 100% but at some point i get a message telling me it disconnected from the connection. Can anyone help. Thanx
Same issue :-(
me too. Same problem
There's been several threads on this. The general consensus is the battery stops charging when it reaches 100%, and then begins to discharge. I've noticed the same behavior but haven't found a fix.
Very odd
The weird thing is that I have charged my phone while it is off and one morning I wake up and turn it on and it is at 91% then the next morning it will be at 100% then the next morning itll be 86%. I usually turn it off around the same time and turn it on around the same time. I cant see it starting to discharge if there is only an hour possible time difference. REALLY annoying lol
Icon issue with charging and Battery level
I have an odd issue. I am running the stock ATT rom until I can get the stupid phone to take the HardSPL (different issue being worked on).
The icon at the top shows the battery at full capacitiy all the time. I have Phone alarm on and it has a battery indicator that shows it as low as 20% while battery icon is still 4 bars full. Also there are times when I remove it from the usb and the charging icon stays on instead of showing the battery icon. If I soft reset then it seems to go to normal and the charging icon is replaced by battery which seems to always show full.
Hi
My 8 months old HOX will barly charge. It is like its using a lot of battery all the time. When connected to wall charger, the red LED lights. When I trying to turn it on, it has maby 2% battery, I have tried to let it charge for 8 hours, and 10 minutes, still the same. In the status bar, it shows the phone is charging, but wont gain any more battery. Im losing 100-200mAh, even when the phone is in stock wall charger. I have tried connecting to laptop, but there, I wont even get the phone on there. Early today, I got a warning, somthing about connecting to a battery eliminator.
Im using Battery Doctor to view the battery percentage, and Currentwidget to measure the current.
My phone is rooted, running Revolution ROM
Thanks
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
Relock thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863179
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...........
This has just started to happen to me, past 4 days.
So I know people had issues saying phone takes ages to charge even on quick charge- this hasn't happened to me before... It might be the case now > hence why I'm asking.
My phone has always lasted me 2 days to 15%- then I always charge to full- but I've never overcharged it ever.
Like I said it's now charging to 90% only and it's saying fully charging,
Do you thing my battery lost some juice, had the phone brand new in UK, or do you lot know a solution.
Thanks
ive just charged the phone again, and this time it indicated with a beep and led green light flashing that when it hit 90% it was fully charged- with only the indication off the green led light flashing and the beep, but when i woke up the phone on my lock screen- it said still charging and its was indicating through the animation of the battery (top right corner) that's its still charging???- left the phone for another 20 mins and woke up my phone and no indication off green led light or the fully charged beep, yet the phone battery showing me its fully charged at 100%.
I do use lightflow app to tell me about when the phone charging/fully charge and use it for other settings, - ive looked through the app to see if ive selected a lower battery charge - but i havent
