Since two days my watch won't charge. I get the battery icon with the lightning but after a couple of hours I get a battery icon with an X. Nothing happened to the watch. The only thing is that I forgot to charge it and it drained fully. Anybody know what this problem is and how to solve it?
Replace battery... lithium batteries should NEVER be drained completely.

Hey XDA, I just purchased a new AT&T SGS3 and I'm having some issues with the battery on the phone.
When I charge the phone overnight it charges to 100% then when I unplug it, the battery drops tremendously in about 5 seconds down to anywhere from 50%-75%. I tried manually recalibrating the battery by charging it 8+ hours, removing the battery, charging again while off, charging it again while on, then restarting. That seemed to work for one charge and the battery acted the way that it would have on my Nexus S.
However charging it again after a full battery drain, the same thing happened.
Also when the phone is low on battery, it displays the normal battery messages, but then the screen stays on, draining the battery faster.
Solutions? I want the root the phone, but only after I have these issues sorted out. (I'm still under warranty right now)

Did you try a reset of the phone through the settings ? After that try charging to 100% then drain completely and then recharging without break then use the phone mormally and try to recharge only when it hits 10% remaining for the next 2 or 3 charge cycles and see if that helps

Looks like a bad device. I would send it in if i were you.
Hi mates. My beloved gio is doing something wrong with battery.. In one moment it started to drain battery so fast. I am charging battery for 6hours, disconnected and if i was doing something on phone, battery discharges in 5mins. If i do nothing with it it loses 1% per 2hours. I tried another charger but its the same. When gio turns off and i connect it to charger it writes charged in few secs. Ive tried reinstalling rom, recalibrate battery but nothing works. So is my battery dead or have i some issue?
I have my gio for about 1 year now and I started to have the same problem, first when i went on youtube it drained the battery in like 5 mionutes, I was still able to listen to music and use whatsapp, which didnt drain the battery very rapidly, but after a few days even listening to music drained the battery in like 15 minutes.
So for all I can say its a battery problem, most lithium batteries have a life time of about 300-400 charges, after that, battery becomes instable.
EDIT: Also, it wasn't a rom problem, i was running CM7 and switched to CM9 but this also gave battery problems.
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
Wonder if anyone might know whether the fault is with Battery or internal charging circuit.
The watch wouldn't charge so eventually died
Occasional connection to charger showed a battery with lightning bolt symbol
Still won't charge
or boot up now.
No longer shows the battery with a lightning bolt icon
Assume battery is completely flat.
I have 3 official charging docks and multiple power sources - none work.
I stripped the watch down and tried my son's battery without removing his battery and the watch booted up fine.
But I can't risk taking sons battery out as it seems to damage them.
With new 3100 watches around the corner and already own the HW2 I don't really want to spend £20 on a new battery for a 3-year-old watch if it turns out to be the internal charging circuit
Any suggestions
Hi, something like this happened to me about a few months ago, same symptom no power and the Lightning bolt, I used a 500 mha charger (not the original huawei charger, while it delivers 2.0 mha ) and left the watch there all day and all night and checked on it later the next day and it was fully charged and had powered up on its own. I didn't open it up as you did. anyway l think that this happened due to l had not used the watch for months but now even if l don't wear it l still power it on once in a while and charge it so the battery won"t go completely dead.
If you have ever wondered about the battery in your Z2 Force especially after your device has started dying at different battery percentages, well, this is what happens. The first time my Z2 Force died was about 10 days ago and the battery was at 38%. It died when I opened the camera app. The second time it died was with 46% battery life remaining. After this it would die with 98% battery. After doing some research and reading all of the post at the Lenovo forum about the battery issues with our device I decided to order a Moto Battery from Amazon and I installed it earlier this evening. I am letting it charge to 100% before I power up my device and then I am going to use my Z2 until it is completely dead and then recharge it again to calibrate the battery. Here are some pics of what the original battery looked like. The battery was broken into several pieces inside its wrapper and you can see where it had been swelling over and over. Ive had this Z2 since August of 2018. The original battery made it just over a year before I started having the random shutdown issue. I have attached a link to the battery I ordered in case anyone needs a recommendation. This battery comes with the tool kit to disassemble to device but the only thing I did was remove and replace the battery and it took me a total of about 25 minutes. I did use a hair drier to assist with the adhesive but I did not feel it was absolutely necessary.

Just a quick update about the new battery.
When I installed the battery it was fully discharged to 0%. I plugged in the original USB-C cable and the original Moto Turbo Charger that came in the box when the device was new.
Before I powered up my device with the new battery I let it charge to 100% and when it reached full I set a timer to let my Z2 Force stay on the charger for one hour.
When that hour was up I turned my device on and went through all the things I could remember that would cause it to shut down. I couldn't make it shut down with the new battery.
With the first charge my SoT was 7:18. That was a surprise for sure. When my device was new I would frequently get over 6hrs of SoT.
