So I've been having issues with battery life and my charging.
When I woke up this morning my phone was at 1%. I went ahead and played with it till it died. I kept it turned off and let it charge for about 2.5 hours or so. I would think that it would be close to fully charge. The battery charging icon when phone was off made it seem that way, but when I turn my phone on it's only at 40%. I turn it back off and let it charge for another 1.5hr while i'm at the gym. Come home to find that it's only charged up to 46% since then.
This is a brand new, official samsung battery. Came with the Samsung spare battery charger. Similar things have happened with a 2nd spare battery i've bought. None of these issues happened when I was using my original battery though.
Do you think it's the phone or the battery itself? I'm leaning towards phone
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.

Good morning.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition for about a year now.
I sometimes had a problem with my tablet when charging, once I plugged it a red cross would appear on the battery icon, if I left the cross there the tablet would charge terribly slow, I would solve the problem by disconnecting and connecting until the cross was gone, so the tablet could recharge normally (which he did).
That was until yesterday when I put it to recharge and left it overnight, when i woke up i realized it had only charged 48%!! I left it for some hours more and when I went back to check it was still 48%. I turned it off and let it charge, which got me to 100% but when I took it to school after it reached like 40/50% it went instantly to 15% and then to 4%.
I then, when reached home, tried several chargers (all from samsung) and installed this program to check on the battery (battery monitor widget) and it showed me that the mA flow was unstable, from 90mA to 1400mA (while on my samsung S3 the flow was 999 al the time)
I tried all the chargers on my S3 also and they charged my phone from 13% to 100% in 30 minutes, so I think it is not my chargers fault.
Is battery dead?
I leave here three screenshots showing some battery data.
EDIT: I have bought one cover from ebay, that came from china, it has some magnets on the back, could the magnets be somehow related to my battery problem?
So I've been having the same issue. I do believe there is a connection with the cover. I had removed my cover to inspect the charging port. I couldn't see any damage so I turned on the tablet with the cover still off and plugged in the charger and it worked just fine. Now every time I have to charge I just pull it out of the case, pop the button lip around the port off and then back on back and like magic, it works normally for a period of time.

Hi all, so I know there have been talks before about the battery on the G3 but since not all issues are the same I decided to ask anyway in hope that someone could assist me in some way to figure out what the issue is.
TL : DR:
Got LG G3 (Stock ROM: Lollipop 5.0), let battery run flat, started charging it through the mains, woke up next day to it taking 6 hours to get to 100%, using charger that came with it (5.0v 1.8A UK mains charger, model: MCS-04UR).
So I just got the LG G3 as my old phone was a pile of rubbish these days (Huawei Y530) and so far I'm EXTREMELY happy with it, I needed it mainly for VR since I do YouTube and have been getting asked to do VR Videos so after looking around I found the G3 which was in my price range and grabbed it.
But here is where the issue starts, the battery ran flat so I plugged it into the 5.0v 1.8A UK mains charger that came with it (model: MCS-04UR) and after a few minutes it came up with an estimated time till full charge, of course I was shocked at the 19hr+ estimate but figured this would likely go down after I turned the screen off and just left it alone as I wouldn't be using it for anything other then push notifications over WiFi, about 4 hours later I needed to use the phone again so I unlocked it and saw that it was going to 7hr+ hours and was only at 32% after 4hours: imgur.com/XjPqu4X
So I left it on my desk and went to bed but when I woke up I saw that it was still charging and was only around 90%, so I left it alone until it was 100% and then checked the battery usage meter to see how long it had taken, this was the result: imgur.com/LBj3L2m
As you can see it had a bit of usage for a couple of hours which im guessing was maybe updates or something but even with taking into account it took a long time to get to full charge, I was under the impression that "Quick Charge" was meant to be quick and would get you around 50% within 30 minutes but that just doesn't seem to be the case with me, does anyone have any idea why this is.
I also did another test the next time the batter went dead this time charging with the phone off and once again connected to the mains charger, from 0% to 100% it took 6 hours 9 minutes, with it taking around 3 hours to get to 80% and 4 hours 20 to get to 90%.
After it had fully charged I turned it on to see what the estimate time remaining before it would die again was and it said 2 hours, this surely can't be normal...I mean I get that smartphones use a lot of power these days but this is a 3000mAh battery, I must be right in thinking it shouldn't take over 6hrs to fully charge and only last around 2hours if the screen was left on at lowest brightness.
Worth noting that this a second hand phone from a trade-in store.
•Phone: LG G3 D855
•OS: Android 5.0
•Kernel version: 3.4.0
•Software Version: V21a-EUR-XX
(No SIM Card in it yet as wanted to give it a good test before transferring over all my contacts and such)
These are the charger and cable I got with the phone, im assuming that they are default.

•Cable: imgur.com/2naIYdT
Does nobody have a solution for this issue or have an idea of what might be causing it?
I would prefer to try any solutions that might be out there before taking it back to the store.
Well I dont have much expectations from a 4y old device, but this kinda sudden change is making me curious. I plugged in my phone to the AC mains tomorrow night @ 12 AM @ 5% battery. When I woke up today (@ 7 AM), I just turned off the switch without looking at the charge. When I looked at the charge right now (@ 10 AM), its 77%. My first guess was that some app has drained the 23% battery (I thought it must have charged 100%, anyone will think so if a phone is left to charge for 7 straight hour), but then I had a look at the power statistics (screenshot attached). It just stopped charging after reaching 77%!? Why? It was still plugged in. Anyways, yesterday only I installed Ampere on my phone. Installed because I had doubt that the adapter I had been using for some long time is a fake one. What do you think should be the reason for this type of 'rejecting incoming charge'?
maybe your battery needs replacement.

I don't think so, because it was just perfect till yesterday.
