Since two day or so I'm experiencing weird charging problems!
- I can't charge the phone when its on with the wall charger.
- I can charge the phone via usb, but it doesn't get recognized anymore and it keeps telling me "not charging", but it charging (actually very very slowly)
- The only way to charge the phone is switching it off, but it doesn't charge to 100%, max 80% or so.
- The battery stats do not reset, it tells my I'm almost two days on, but the phone was three times off and I tried to charged it serveral times.
Someone has an idea what this could be or is facing similiar problems? Battery broken? Usb broken?
Looks like:

And the fix to that is apparently to replace USB board.
So this is the problem: my ZL displays the charging light, it appears to be charging, but does not charge. I always had problems with charging, having to wiggle the connection or something for it to work, but not this type of problem. Sometimes it goes up for like 1%, then down again, wiggling between 10% and 20% battery. This happened in the last 3 hours, i switched cables, wall plugs, etc. Still the same. What can i do? When i keep it plugged it does not discharge, but i'm afraid that if it gets to 0%, it'll die. What can be the problem? Please help me

Dont worry frnd.
Need some inputs before i zero down the problem
1) Are you using the stock charger that came with your phone. If so there is every possibility either the charger head or usb cable has gone faulty.
2) Type *#*#7378423#*#* and goto battery test and check its health condition. If it says condition is good then the fault is with your charger
3) Try using a charger which is a 1500ma charger.The normal charger supports only 800ma/500ma so your mobile will not be able to draw enough current from it and usually takes more time to charge or the charging rate with be equal to the discharging rate like in your case.
Hi,
I had the same problem just recently - phone wouldn't charge to above 5% or so (if I was lucky) - all original charger. When I plugged in the charger, the led light flashed red, then another color (green or yellow, can't remember), and then it didn't charge.
I actually had some problems with charging a couple of times before - it went on and off like 5-6 time, but then it did start to charge normally after a while. This last time, I tried to charge it for hours without any luck.
If i booted it up, it sometimes charged to 4-5%, then it would stop/start/stop/start endlessly. The same thing happened when I connected the phone to my computer, the USB fell off/on/off/on endlessly. I thought it was a faulty cable / charger first, but this happened to all cables and chargers I tried. I then thought it was the USB-port on the phone. Or a faulty battery.
After a while, it mostly stopped at 1-2% - sometimes immediately. I noticed that after using the "battery button" to hard reset the phone, I always seemed to get a few %'s of charge, and it didn't just blink immediately when plugging in the charger.
I had even written my problem description and was about to send the phone back to the retailer, when I did one last try of factory resetting the phone from the recovery, wiping everything. The problem still existed when I booted the phone, however, entering the recovery again after factory reset - I actually noticed that the phone charged above 5% this time. Leaving it on charging while in recovery, it got up to 8%, and then I thought the problem was fixed. Booting again, still same charging problem. I then factory reset again, and tried recovery again... Leaving the charger on - I managed to charge it to 100%. After this, I've never had any problem charging the phone. :|
I don't know what solved the problem, it could be only charging from recovery, or it could be that the full wipe deleted some battery stats or something? I did install an app to wipe battery stats after the problems occured, it also showed the charging rate of the battery, and it went up and down like crazy when I had the problem.
I don't really know if this is of any help, but I had PhilZ recovery at least which I managed to charge with.
You can try any methods, but i realy think that it because bad accumulator.
- original chargers
- hard reset
If it is not help - your way is go to the service.
Usually it the problem with accumulator or power controller.
so lately my phone has been dying suddenly when it reaches 20-30ish % i've read and it seems that the solution is a battery change, that's fine. but recently i'm having a bigger problem, this is because my phone doesnt charge, i connect the usb and it shows the orange light but it simply wont charge, sometimes charges like 5 or 6% then stops and starts to drop like if there's no charger plugged, i've tried with different usb cables and with different chargers and it's the same. also with some usb cables the charging light starts to blink like if i disconnect and connect the cable everytime, so mi questions is : is the problem related to the battery thing? or maybe is the usb port of my phone, and what should i do?

If you already were thinking your battery was going, it's definitely the most likely suspect. If you can get it booted, try installing an app that judges battery health, (try this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...droid&pcampaignid=APPU_1_wisuV_aWB4Tbe4mpjogP), and see what it says.
I'm having some problems with my wall charger or phone, the battery notification icon doesn't even change when i plug it in. Pluging to the computer works as expected, the icon changes to the charging icon.
I thought the charger was dead so i tried on a friend's zenphone 3, it seems normal on his phone, right on the lock screen it says it is charging (that doesn't happen on my moto z).
I turned off my phone and connected to the wall, the led turned on and it was charging, so it is not completely dead...
Turned the phone on and still no indication it was charging. So i opened the battery status and it says it is charging, it is VERY slow (still at 25% after many minutes) but it says there it is charging.
Unfortunately i couldn't try another charger yet. I haven't modded this phone in any way, still, could it be a software issue? It even got an OTA update yesterday but it didn't solve the problem.
Insert the pin in your​ device properly or it will charge slowly.
My charger got bad recently while my phone was still connected to it. As a result of that, it developed some problems.
The charging symbol and indicator is always on even when it's not connected to a charger, I have to reboot the phone to turn it off.
The battery percentage increases rapidly while charging and decreases likewise when unplugged and the phone gets hot when it is switched off.
The phone is no longer recognised by my PC.
I have a charger with a led indicator. When the phone is connected to the charger when it is not plugged to a socket, the led indicator of the charger turns on. This doesn't happen before the incident.
Other than these the phone seems to work well.
Any idea on what's wrong. Thanks in advance for your suggestions
