[Q] First problem I haven't been able to fix!

This is completely undiscovered territory for me, as I have been over and under the forums looking for a solution....
Here's the problem as it happened:
Every night around 10pm, I plug my phone in to charge, which I did the previous night. Normally, my schedule has me up and leaving the house at 4:30am except on weekends which I am normally up by 6am.
Friday night at 10pm, I plugged the phone in to charge as usual. The next morning I unplugged and checked the phone as usual and everything seemed fine.
I had left the phone to sit unattended for some time while I got ready to go out for the day, then grabbed my phone, put it in the holdster and left.
My day was quite busy and I never checked my phone for the first 2 hours after leaving the house. When I did it was unresponsive, so I did the customary reset and nothing.
I assumed a dead battery so I just waited until I was back in the car. When I plugged it in, I saw the red light and, assuming the battery was just dead I left it.
The phone has done nothing else since... just the red light.
I'm assuming this phone might be a goner but I wanted to put my feelers out. I have not tried MTTY yet and I'm assuming it probably won't work anyway.
Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm using a well-used and worn out Kaiser (my back-up) right now, same rom/radio/kernel/etc. to see if I can replicate what happened... (I know, flirting with disaster).

Apparently I didn't look hard enough because I found the thread for the RLoD and followed the instructions.
Charger connected, back panel off, battery out.
Hold power button and rapidly connect/disconnect battery from terminals by holding at an angle (may take up to 100 times to get it).
Red light goes out, green light flashes, phone boots.

BUT!...
Test the phone before you take it for the day.
I was unfortunate enough to not realize that the phone hadn't charged overnight and reset the battery counter to 80% at 3.6 volts.
I was lucky enough to grab a databackup.img and copy everything to the spare phone.

maybe there's a problem with the connection in the usb port.

Power off before 0%

I remember have selected an option so the battery wouldn't necessarily shut off at 0%. Now my phone shuts off at approximately 4%. Anyone remember where this option is?

I recently noticed this as well and would be interested if there's a way to fix this.

It has happened to me, too. Yesterday my phone shut down at 25% and 14%, but after turning it on again I could use it normally.
I'm, obviously, also interested if there's a solution for this.

Mine has done the same thing a couple of times. It's only ever happened once the battery is less than 10% but it's still annoying. I also had one random reboot today but that was the only time that this has happened.

I could swear I had selected an option for this...but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone recall having seen this??

I had some weirdness with this myself yesterday (my 2nd day on the phone).. I was literally laying in bed before going to sleep, marveling at my battery life after a day of heavy use (18 hours and 39% to go, SOT 3 hours) and it just shut off. I tried to turn it back on, but got the boot loader's big fat 0% screen. So I plugged into the turbo charger, and then it said 100% within a minute, I turned it back on, and then it was 85%.. Just decided to go to bed, left it plugged in all night. Took it off the charger this morning at 100%.. then over the next 2 hours it fell down to 55%. Figured the battery just needed to settle in for a couple of days. I've had it on a USB port for about 90 minutes now, and it's back to 100%. I'm going to take it off an constantly keep it between 80-100% all day. Hopefully it just needs to settle in and get some battery stats under it's belt? I've not seen this with many, or any phones before. Would suck to be out somewhere thinking I can make it to the next morning no problem, and then have my phone die 5 minutes later and I don't have a charger.

Has anyone found a solution for this issue?

i am with the same "4%" issue

It probably does that so it can already have a headstart for the turbo charging feature.

Have you guys tried re-calibrating the battery? I've experienced versions of what you describe, and here's how I fixed it on mine;
1 - plug into the turbo charger that came with it
2 - press and hold power button till unit shuts off, continue holding,
3 - continue holding till you see a battery icon on the screen, let go of the power button
4 - phone will vibrate, and a couple seconds later, the battery icon will show a % number, that is the correct level of charge in the battery, it is now re-calibrated!
5 - press and hold power button till phone starts to boot, you should be good..
From what I've read, this "out of sync" battery calibration is caused by using certain chargers other than the stock one. I saw it happen from plugging into a laptop usb3 port and an old blackberry wall wart (don't judge me). Other people have reported it from using wireless charging (I wireless charge every night without issue).
Hope this helps, good luck!

Battery %100.-0% in over night

I charged my battery. Took it off the charger and turned off the screen. When I woke up the phone was off and I dead. I am on cm12.1 fairly recent update. I updated a couple days ago. I just want to know if anyone else had this issue?

Only time thats ever happened to me is when I was camping in the woods. Like it was searching for a signal all night and killed the battery.

I had something similar happen to me over the weekend. I mostly use a Choetech Qi charger, and pulled it off the charger Saturday morning before heading out for a day of motorcycle riding. After the ride...~6hrs later my phone still showed 100% battery. As I was catching up on emails etc..the phone just shut itself down. I rebooted...then it shut down again within 30 secs of use.
While it was still off, a quick press on the power button popped up a battery image showing 0% battery. Within 2 seconds of plugging in a charger...it jumped to 100% again. But the phone would not stay on, unplugged at all. I tried wiping the cache hoping that would clear out the battery monitor, but not luck there. The only that worked was turning the phone off, plugging in the OEM Turbo Charger, and letting it charge over night.

Do you have any app monitoring battery usage like betterbatterystats or gsm battery monitor?
sometime obviously kept your usage on while you slept. not normal. either searching for a signal all night, or a misbehaving app, etc. y

I do not have currently have any 3rd party monitoring app. But it's probably not a bad idea. I just think that something with the wireless charging eventually whacks out the battery calibration. As long as I can "reset" everything with a night on the Turbo charger, I can deal.

Radon,
I'm seeing nearly the same problem, but mine is at 80% not 100%. I tried doing a full charge on a standard (non-Turbo) charger overnight, and it changed things, but still not in an acceptable state. Did you try using a standard charger? Or did you only try the Turbo charger?
Verizon and Motorola are telling me I need to do a factory reset and/or get a new phone, but I'm trying to do my research first.

Clear the app cache (Go to Settings->Storage then click on Cached data and hit OK). Then reboot into recovery to wipe the cache there (note it'll take upwards to half and hour so don't freak out if it looks frozen). Then turn the phone off and leave it on the factory charger overnight (or for a while after it reads 100%) with the phone still off. This clears the cruft to fix misbehaving apps, then calibrates the phones understanding of what a full charge is. You also might want to delete any apps you no longer use, especially ad-ridden games, system hook apps like keyboards, and things that track location or status which might keep the phone awake.

After I shattered my screen on my last turbo and got a replacement I've been having issues with my battery. It would randomly die and wouldn't respond or let me turn it on without connecting to a charging cable. Sometimes it goes from a good charge to 39% and turns itself off but often, like I observed today, when I looked at my battery trend it actually went from 75% to 8% in an instant. Not sure what the cause is. Could the battery be discharging somehow??

Weird Battery issues

So my turbo just turned 2. For the past 6 months or so been having some weird issue. I was on RR Remix for a while, then went to CM14 by BBH27 for a while, and then back to RR, and now on ComputerFreak Stock. I don't have any issue with charging the phone. Quick charge works just fine.
I have had issues where the battery will just be dead even if it was at like 50% and confirmed charging.
I thought maybe it was my stupid charger (I have another that I have yet to test) but then last night, after charging my phone before I went to bed i unplugged it. I woke up around 6:45 to find my phone once again dead. It looks like around 2 am the battery just fell. Dead. Just gone. I go and hit the power button and i got 1%. The battery graph looks as if i turned the phone off. For the most part my battery last all day 12+ hours with some good usage too.
I'm getting ready to flash back to stock now that full stock MM is out now to flash and see if that makes any difference.

For what it's worth, my Turbo would just straight up shutdown when I was on RR. And not go through the shutdown process, just crash to a powered off state. It would happen if the battery was full, low, or anywhere in between. I don't know if that's the issue you were experiencing, but I suppose it's possible.

My daughters is having the same issue.
Anyone have a solution?
I've tried clearing caches, battery recalibration, etc.
Going to see about doing a fully clean install tomorrow if she is okay with it.

When this happens and the phone just shuts down, does the battery percentage immediately jump back up when you plug in a charging cable? I was having that problem when using wireless charging a lot. It turned out be a battery calibration issue. You can re-calibrate by holding the power button and KEEP holding it when the "Power Off" dialog pops up. The phone will eventually reboot itself then leave it overnight on the factory turbo-charger.
One warning - Since the marshmallow update, performing this procedure seems to wipeout your BT connections.

Moto X won't charge past 3%

I have a Moto X 2013 that, after replacing the battery with a supposedly new, OEM battery, refuses to charge past 3%. This phone is rooted and was rom'd with the Nougat xPerience rom, but I tried flashing it with Nougat Lineage as a troubleshooting test.
I replaced the battery last night without incident, and the phone booted and seemed to behave fine, and the battery had about 30% charge. The only issue I found immediately after replacing the battery was a battery app installed on the phone saying the battery hasn't been charged for -19000 hours, or something a long those lines (I can't remember exactly what it said, as I did not install the app, my friend did who I was fixing the phone for. I just remember it was some outrageously large negative number.). Thought it was weird, and maybe thought it was a software issue, so I booted to TWRP and wiped the cache and dalvik. Rebooted the phone, and the app reset to something along the lines of 500 hours. That is a bit more believable.
I plugged the phone into my laptop to let it charge (as it was the only way I could charge it at the time), my laptop saw the Moto, and the Moto said "Charging..." and "Android Debugging...", and thought it was working. I had to run an errand, and when I returned about an hour later, the phone hadn't moved a drop up or down. My laptop was asleep, so I assumed maybe it just stopped charging when my laptop shut off, and I was exhausted myself so I just let it sit on standby all night.
Morning came, and the Moto is dead. I plug it into the wall charger I was just using to charge my v10 with (brand new cord, made for data transferring and charging that I used once before with the old battery), and head to class, hoping it'll charge. Guess what? It didn't charge. Well, it did a little. It went up from 0% to 3%, and sat there. Annoyed, I unplugged and replugged in the phone. It came up with the white battery charging screen, switched to the Nougat "N", vibrated, then went to a black battery charging thing. Once there, the battery icon went up two squares, the screen flashed, and the phone died and stopped charging, then repeated itself a few more times until it went silent.
I started to think maybe my brand new cord was screwing up, so I grabbed another one I had and plugged it into my desktop. I had read on another thread that sometimes you can force the phone to jumpstart charging by plugging in the phone and holding down power + volume down for upwards of two minutes. I tried this, and it charged enough that I could turn the phone on again, but it wouldn't charge enough to do much more. I left it plugged into my desktop for a few hours, not allowing the desktop to fall asleep, and yet the phone was still not rising above 3 or 4% despite the fact that it says that it is charging. Oh, and the phone was on the whole time if it was plugged in, but the moment I unplugged it (Like the one time it got over 5%), it immediately shuts down.
I know I'll probably just have to buy another new battery for the dumb thing, but I am just curious to see if there is anything I can do to fix this, just because I cannot currently afford to buy another new battery (and my friend, who this phone belongs to, is getting impatient on getting it back.)
Thanks for any help!

I have the same problem, charging topping out at 3% with a "new" battery.
Did you change the battery? Did it work?
Thanks for your feedback.
(FYI, this phone is running the stock lollipop firmware.)
