Hello there. I recently purchased the Seido 1400mAh battery and it came in today. I turned off my phone and popped in the new battery and turned it back on. From what I read about battery calibrating, I let the phone die and then plugged it in to charge. I wanted to check on it after charging for a few hours, only to find that it won't turn on. The red light kind of flashes when I push the power button. If I put my old battery back in it turns on just fine.
Any idea?
So I let it "charge" over night and still had the same issue. I was able to get into Android today but after a few minutes it just shut off. The battery has never gone above 0%.
Could this be a defective battery? The reason I bought a new battery is because the stock one is bulging and doesn't hold a charge, but it charges just fine in the phone.

The batt is defiantly defective and needs to be replaced if possible
I just got my replacement battery in the mail and it isn't charging either. This just doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be my phone because the stock battery charges just fine...

Hello
Last week i bought the phone, and used it till the phone battery was empty. I tried to recharge the phone, but i wouldn't go on, only the red light blinking. I had the phone charged for 2 days, with the og charger, no result. Looked like the phone was dead.
Today i tried it again, still no result. All of a sudden the phone turned on and was charging. It is now on 99% and working just fine
Should i contact HTC?
I'd see if it happens again if you let it drain again.
If so, take it back to the store, they will give you a new phone if you can reproduce the problem there.
I have also experienced this issue when letting the battery go till the phone shuts down. I usually have to just unplug the charger and then it will boot up again.....but if i don't unplug it will not turn on and just blinks red.....
One night I fell asleep doing a nandroid back up (Yes I flash till I drop), I had the phone on the charger while doing so. I woke up 6 hours later, was still in recovery and with the battery fully charged.
What does this have to do with the op? Nothing, but I thought it was pretty cool.
I see these stories all the time, STOP DOING IT!!!!!!! You aren't suppose to drain batteries till there completely empty. You are doing damage to your battery when you do this. The battery has built in protection circuits and when you completely drain the battery the protection circuits can't operate. This may be the cause of the battery failing to recharge after a complete drain. That is why resetting the battery by unplugging the charger or removing the battery and reinserting usually works. I don't understand why you would ever need to use the phone till it shuts off. If that's the case bring the damn charger with you or invest in a second battery.

It happens when you can't find a charger, sometimes you don't think you'll be out as long, and end up in a dead zone, BAM dead battery.

Hi all,
I am posting here after hours of research on my problem. Unfortunately I have not found anyone else posting similar issues so I decided to make a thread. *sigh*
okay so, I bought my samsung vibrant (t-mobile) from a seller on kijiji. He let me know ahead of time that the battery life "sucks" .
okay so, here is my problem. I have two batteries that were given to me when I purchased the phone.
1 standard samsung battery, and 1 generic ebay china battery. He told me he wasen't sure if the "china battery" worked.
okay so, the samsung battery did not last long at all, even with minimal use, ensuring that background applications were closed etc etc, I did my best to ensure optimal battery life as I had read so many tips and tricks on this forum many times over before.
But, I left my phone to charge one night, and the next day my phone wouldn't turn on, instead when I press the power button, a loading circle would display on the screen and it would show the battery charging screen when your phone is off, and it would flash on the screen for oh about 3 seconds then go black.
so I switched the battery to the ebay battery. it was working alright, I downloaded a battery application to monitor how much it was actually charging etc.
on the first day, the max power it seemed to charge would be about 68%.
by the second day it was around 45%
the third day, 23%, and now, today, my phone battery has died, I had it charging, and I managed to turn it on. I checked my battery application, and it said the battery was at 0% and it was attached to the adapter in an outlet charging but not holding the charge I guess. Well, I turned the phone off, and the same thing that happend with the previous battery is happening with this one, that loading circle thing, and the battery charging indicator flashes on for 3 seconds and no charge.
I purchased a new battery online, I am just waiting for it to arrive, but I am beginning to wonder if this is a problem with my phone or if it is a battery issue?
As of right now the phone wont turn on because of the "dead" battery.
any diagnostic help would be greatley appreciated.
it's most likely your battery. unless the usb is broken. have you ever connected your phone to your usb? the batteries the ebay gave you sounded like they needed to be replaced anyways. i suggest you go on amazon and get the anker 1800 mah battery.
Most likely you are going to need a new battery. If you know someone with a Vibrant or Captivate, maybe borrow their battery to see if your phone boots up with it. If you have a battery charger only, so that you can charge the battery outside of your phone and insert a fully charged battery, see if that works.
The Samsung advice they always give is to remove the battery and hold down the power button for about a minute. Then reinsert battery and try again. GL
My friend has the same problem with his Vibrant, his phone will charge to maybe 75% max. Except he has bought 3 different batteries (2 oem and 1 aftermarket) and they all have the same result. I've been trying to help him find a solution before he "breaks the damn thing" lol
I'm starting to think its a factory defect or something.
Hi there anyone have any ideas been using my Z2 since last Friday and yesterday for some reason the device will not charge to 100 % only goes up to 96%
I have tried a different charger and still get the same problem , Also downloaded Sony pc companion software and run the repair tool to see if it resolves the issue and still same problem
Try discharge battery to 1-2% (some advise even till auto-off device) and then fully charge with bundled charger.
Mine does the same thing, don't worry.
The reason this happens is that once your battery is at 100%, it stops charging automatically, and the device waits for it to get down to 99% before starting to charge again.
Is it possible that you just keep catching it at 99%?
Mine will charge about 1% every four minutes until it hits 99%. Then that last one percent takes a couple of hours. This is according to the power/percent list in gsam. It's done it consistently from day 2. Day 1 it failed to charge beyond 80% overnight.
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
thanks for your help I will try a full discharge and then try charging it and see how it goes
Finally battery is flat the phone turned off , charging it now with the sony charger which came with the z2 , will let you know what happens
I did a live chat with sony and they say the device is faulty and needs to be repaired
I have rang my network provider and they will send me a new z2
96% charge and wont charge no more!!
would really like to understand what is the solution to the problem.
This is really annoying . Please need all possible inputs.
Do you think its a product issue and needs to be replaced with a new piece.
Mine charges, but...
My Z2 will charge to 100%, but after it gets to 95% the screen turns on, and stays on.
If I push the power button on the phone to turn the screen off, the screen will turn off for between 0.5-1.5 seconds, and then turn itself back on.
I have gone through quite a few settings on my phone and can't find anything that might affect this other than perhaps "Night Mode" - which I have disabled.
Please help, my provider refuses to replace my phone even though I got it brand new from them and it's only 21 days old... I do love the phone, I just hate this issue - I can't leave it charging over night, or run the risk of having the phone over heat (it happened once, this is how I first found out about the problem, I had to leave the phone off with a fan on it for a good hour before it was cool to the touch again.)
@The Midnighter
I think you have a faulty unit, mine (2nd one) doesn't even overheat unless I have severe CPU/GPU intensive apps running. Never had a charging problem either... Get it replaced mate
I always charge the phone power off, when it is full charged I get the vibra notification and the phone is 100%.

I forgot to mention - you reminded me.
When I leave my phone off and plugged in, it will charge to 100% - however I have to do a HARD RESET every time I go to turn my phone back on, after turning it off. (Holding power and volume up) or it sticks on the "SONY" screen and will not advance.
Since xperia S there is a feature which helps battery keeping good condition
Its charge to 100% and turns charging off till 95%
Its all becouse integrated battery
This is not a bug or problem

It is indeed a problem, because the screen is staying on and causing my phone to over heat - it once over heated so badly because of this I had to leave the phone off for a very long time.
The phone doesnt charge at 100% and the magnetic charger not work

I have the exact problem. The phone work ok for a few days and then stop charging at 92% and the screen stay on. I plug the charger in the night and in the morning was only at 92% and hot, very hot.
A few days ago I bought a dock charger and an usb cable to plug in the magnetic lateral charging port. And with both chargers the phone shows the charge icon for a second and desapear for another second and repeat the loop.
I try everything in the software level. Restore the firmware using pccompanion and also flash the lollipop firmaware but the problem persist. Just not tried delete the battery stats because my phone is not rooted yet.

Did u manage to fix the problem? Or did anyone here manage to fix the battery charging issue? Mine charges to 78%, then sometime 85% then hard-reset - 91%. Cant charge anything above that! : <
There's no real fix, you can only hope a rollback to KitKat might help. See this lengthy forum post on the sony forums:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z2/Lollipop-charging-bug/td-p/965384
Spanning from april until right now...
Mine only gets to 70-80% on an overnight charge.
Mine charges and discharges constantly, I try change the cable, the AC adapter, the usb on my computer, the micro usb port to magnetic... Always is the same.. and another times charges too good.
Some times charge to 99% and discharge to 98%.. so I disconnect and connect again and charges to 100%
Maybe it's a Lollipop .232 problem in some devices?
Hi! Same problem here, sometimes my phone doesn't charge to 100% and I have to unplug the charger and plug it in again to get 100%. I think it's pretty common, but if your phone only charges till a low percentages and just doesn't charge further, it might be so that the phone's afflicted with the Lollipop charging bug. We can only wait for Marshmallow then
My s3 has an ODD battery drainage issue. I went to take a nap today and my s3 dropped over 40% in charge sitting on my bed side. My s3 also doesnt charge while on charger it discharges so it slowly goes down while on charge. It however does charges up when i turn it off.
- Also yesterday I was out and noticed my phone was at 35% battery and i knew my phone battery would die if i left it on so i pulled my battery out and left it in my pocket. When the time cmae i had to use the phone i put the battery back into my phone and turned it on. MY PHONE LOST 15% charge even while OFF and battery not connecting to the phone.
What do i do?

How old is your battery?
Definitely sounds like the battery. I had a similar issue with mine a little while back where the battery would lose the majority of it's charge quite rapidly, or be at 50%, and then it would suddenly die, and then when I managed to get it back on it would be at 2-3%.
ETA: My problems vanished after a new battery install.
New battery needed.
I also noticed that Anker have their S3 batteries on for half price at Amazon UK, well worth an investment.
Hello XDA I was just wondering if anyone else has any sort of anomalies in their promotional charging cradle for instance I was charging 1 battery in there and it was still red indicating still need of charge and my other battery in the device was around 75% so I wanted to switch them fast charging saving time. Once the battery in my phone it was at 100%. Also once it turned green before I was going to bed so I unplugged it and in the morning I switched them and the battery from the cradle once I put it in had 13%.
Anyone, anything to you?

Months behind but my charger started messing up. Battery in the dock was green, swapped at work last night and had 5%. I just now swapped the one I charged this morning after it was green and it's at 22%.

Having same exact issues with both of mine all of the sudden.
Having the same exact issue. The cradle was all good until a few months ago.
After putting an externally charged battery in the phone I often had the problem that it was only at 5% or something like that. After rebooting und once pulling the battery it was at 100%. So the battery is fully charged but the phone doesn't recognize it. My workaround: When changing batteries I pull the empty one, wait about ten seconds, put the full one in, pull it again after a few seconds and put it back in the phone after some seconds and boot the phone. Doing it this way leads me to a phone showing 100% battery.

Hmm, that's weird. I'm having this issue as well so I'll have to try this and see what happens. Thought for certain is was charging cradle though and not the phone misreading the battery simply because it worked fine for like 6 months.
