Hey guys. I have screen flickering issue but it doesn't happen everytime. First I noticed this after I reflashed my phone like 5 months ago but my battery was low so I thought it may have something to do with voltage. Next time it happened weather was too hot (45 degrees celcius) and phone's cpu was like 70 degrees. I wiped my phone yesterday and same thing happened but this time my battery was full.
It's noticable at full brightness and it disappears after 10-15 minutes. Should I take my phone to Sony service?
I read people facing with this on different phones after reflashing but not when phone was hot.

With very light usage, I've managed to get my Evo3D to last just shy of 2 and a half days. When actually using it, it's been a bit hit or miss, some days it tanks pretty fast, other days it's done quite well. But one thing I have noticed is that sometimes, especially around the 35% range, it'll spontaneously drop 10-15% (it actually did 43% straight to 14% this afternoon). It's visible in the battery use graph as a sudden nearly vertical line. It's never happened when I had the screen on actually doing something, it just happens randomly after turning the display off. Has anyone else seen this? It's pretty confusing.
First thing is first....
Did you download spareparts and see what is consuming battery? In other words, check for a wake lock.
You have to give the battery time to get conditioned. It gets better the more you go through charging cycles. I'm at 75% after 8 hours of moderate usage and that's pretty consistent for me.

For the first week or 2, the phone has a hard time understanding how full the battery is. Try draining it down to 50% or so, and then resetting it. You'll probably see a sudden drop or rise in the battery%. Resetting it will force the issue, but it can also happen while the phone is on. That's pretty normal till the the phone "Learns" the battery.
It doesn't mean you suddenly used 15% of your battery, it would probably explode if you did that... it just means the phone re-calculated the battery's life and changed the number.
Your not alone as soon as mine hits 35 percent ill shut the screen off and here it beep at me and bang its at 14%. lol same as you.
Don't know if it will help you.
I had a similar issue as you, battery would get to around 30ish % I could turn the screen on check an email, set it down and bam 14%, and the low charge noise.
I wasn't trying to fix it, instead I was doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153371
When I attempted this I had about 35ish percent battery left, following the directions my phone restarted when it came back up I got a 1% battery warning, then my phone went into emergency shut down. I thought something happened and I was going to have to return the phone. I powered it back up and it read 33%, from there on out my phone now drops a % at a time, and my battery life is as good as the other people who get phenomenal battery. I'm going on 48hours with light usage and still have 25% left. I've txt'd music, videos, nothing heavy.
Take it for what it's worth, I don't know what happened maybe the data reset, resets the battery calibration, I have no clue, all I know is what happened to my phone and the result.
I recently exchanged a new 3vo after having some dust issues under the screen. This new one is pretty good with keeping dust out but there is a problem with draining the battery even when it's a sleep.
It's been off the charger for about 3 hours after hitting 100% and it's down to 92% after sending a few texts and sleeping throughout most of the 3 hours.
I'm getting worried there's something draining the battery, or if the unit itself is having issues going into sleep mode.

Did you check your uptime/awake time? I usually get 18+ hours of light to moderate use of my phone, I mean, there isnt much to do with the phone because I cant flash stuff yet. I have had two instances, which were odd. I put the phone on nightstand at 100% and after 6 hours my phone completely drained and shut down. Had this happen twice. Cant reproduce it, but I'm sure it'll happen again.
Yeah I checked my awake time and then let it sleep for about a minute. It took about 20-30 seconds to fully stop the awake time after the minute passed. There was an instance where it seemed to not sleep at all.
I don't know if it's supposed to do that.
Hello to everyone, my problem is that one night i left the i9300 charging but I forgot to lock the screen and was all night the charging but with the screen on, when I get up an see the phone was extremely hot and freezed, the first I do was get out the battery and leave the phone 1 hour for decrease that hotness and since this day my SIII is crazy, sometimes when ts about 50 % of battery turn off r reboot himself, automatically at 20% go to 0% and when i'm playing for 15 minutes seems that the GPU fails and turn of after the screen shines turns off but ager testing was the battery so anyone knows any lace for bought ann original samsung battery in a good price?

Hi,
I dropped my mobile a few times and the screen cracked. It was working fine until, one day it started acting weird. Ghost touches on screen. So i got my Touch screen and LCD replaced at a local mobile store. After this, i started to experience very high battery drain. Phone gets switched off around 20% battery. I changed my ROM to see if it was rom related. But the same thing happens. Even on standby, the battery drain is high. It dropped around 20% in two hours with very light use. I think the new panel is the reason for this problem. Is there a chance for this new lcd to affect the battery? Can someone help me.
My moto Z is having a Screen on time of 1 hr 40 mins. max 2 hrs with 20 mins of browsing , 40 mins YouTube streaming 30 mins of pubg . it drains from 100-80% in like 10-15 mins. at times when it reaches 28% it'll shut down and indicate there's no battery left but when i plug in the charger it starts charging from 28%. I've formatted the phone , did the battery calibration and it works fine for 2 days with a terrible SOT, but after 2 days the same thing happens . worst is if i try opening snapchat below 45% the phone will turn off. what should i do?
Hi, i've got the same here. I dunno what to do too :/
Unfortunately I have the same issue. And, spoiler alert, it got worse every day. Now I can hardly open my device before it drains completely (I think the real capacity has been reduced to less than 10% of the original). If I unplug the charger battery percentage drops like it's a countdown.
My quick fix was to buy a Z2 Force. And made me feel like it's battery is lasting for ages. But I'm still interested in fixing my beloved Moto Z.
Is it possible that it's a software problem? The latest security update maybe? It's a bit strange that three of us got the same problem at the same time.

I believe it to be related to the most recent security update. My phone battery (and moto mod Turbo Power) were working fine until that update. Now phone drains quickly at start... shuts off at random intervals (with or without Turbo Power).
Many users are reporting this on social media and Moto Forums... they seem to be recommending sending device in for repair (at user cost).
Hopefully, they fix the software.
My advice is put your Moto in the garbage can and buy a phone from a manufacturer with real support
I did a factory reset without downloading extra apps. And for now it's holding a charge better. I suspect one of the downloaded apps from before the Oreo update wasn't behaving. I'm going to add an app every week to see if it effects the battery. One other thing I found was after reaching 100% while charging doesn't really do it. I now restart when it reaches 100% and continue charging for at least a hour.
I am having the exact same issue.
I think it started since the Last update.
Is there a way to go back to nougat or an earlier release?

I had a similar issue. To fix it I disabled the battery saver mode. Even though it went into red territory 1-3% charge it kept going for another half hour playing videos with screen on. Afterwards battery life was much better.
