Battery won't charge to 100%

Hi
I'm new and this is my first thread.
After I rooted my phone I have an issue with charging my battery.
When I started the phone after the root I had a 100% battery, after I was playing and using it I plugged it in when I was going sleep.
After the whole night my phone charged from around 12% to only 60%, and then after I was using and draining the battery nearly to minimum(around 5-7%) it and left it for a couple o hours and it charged to 59%. Sometimes it charges a bit more but the whole process is really slow comparing it to the stock rom charging(it was taking lik 3-5 hours from 0-100%).
I rooted my phone with ivendor's rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825260
I was using CWM 6.0.1.2.
I would like to ask for any solutions for my problem, for now I want to drain it to 0 and then leave it again charging for a couple of hour maybe a whole night.

It's a bug. Sometimes is occures and sometimes not.
You could flash castagnaIT kernel and try again.

Just installed the kernel.
1st thing I noticed is a performance increase.
I'll gonna post what's the situation of battery tomorrow.

Ok, After a whole night of charging my phone only got to 68%, then when I was charging it when it was turned off It charged to 85% and when I turned it on it stopped to charge even with the AC plugged in and the icon is showing that it's charging.
Any solutions ? Please help.

I get a similar issue. When on stock I was always getting 100 %. Then I flashed CM9 and I randomly get 100 % after all night recharge.
If you are not afraid of switching ROMs, try a different one and let us know if it solved the problem because as mrjraider said
It's a bug.

Ok.
I was charging it turned off. It charged to 100%. I'll gonna test it today one more time with charging it when the phone is switched on.
If it fails I'll gonna get back to my stock rom and test it and try again with a battery charge to 100%.

Also remember that the phone wont charge completly due to safety of your battery..
Most of the time it recharged to 98 percent

Yes I know but the indicator in the phone 'has that in mind' so it shows 100% but its really 98 i know. When I was analyzing that battery graph I saw that the battery is charging really long. If I'm reading it right it takes the same amount of time to charge it as to drain it when using it.
Screen is attached. I was charging it through the wall charger.
It's polish language
Any opinions ?

Make your battery empty 0% !
Try to turn on the phone after empty battery !
and make sure that the battery is empty ....
Just connect your charger without turn on you phone....
charge your phone for 9 hours !
Then , take the charger out and turn on your phone !
Try... this steps may it help you

I think that the solution was USB debugging. When I turned it off the phone is normally charging full and works perfectly.

Hey everyone! we are all using a li-ion battery » when we unplug our device from cable it will turn automatocally to 99%... I'm sorry folks, i don't like this feeling neither never havimg 100%...

That's interesting, did you use a usb charger from a computer or a wall charger over night?

Try another rom. It was the solution in my case.

Ahh.... just turn it off. Charge it fully( 3hrs at max). Got to recovery and wipe battery stats. Then drain it completely, and then recharge it fully.again. Then it will most probably go till 100%

[Q] htc one battery

Hello,
I own a 5 month old htc one m7. From past few days I have observed that the battery is draining unusually from 100%-85%.Today I observed that it came down to 88% from 100% in half an hour during which the phone was just in standby mode with no background apps running. Is this normal? Please suggest me what to do.

Shut it off and charge it

still turn it off. it will definitely help

To add to the good advice the other people have stated you can try to better calibrate the percentage of your device by letting it run completely down to the point where your phone shuts off. While its off plug it in. Keep it off while its charging. Once its green turn the phone back on, still keeping it plugged in. The indicator will go green to red for a short time. Once your at 100% then you can unplug and use your phone. By running it down to zero and leaving it off and fully charging it you essentially are calibrating the device.
Currently its off, and if it drops to 90% or so within minutes theres a good chance it could do the opposite when it gets so 5% or less. It might sit there for an hour or so because the calibration is off.

Xperia Z battery behaving crazy, tough to charge it.

Hi everyone,
Since few days my Xperia Z battery is behaving crazily. It goes up and down. Sometimes when I disconnect the charger, like say at 60 percent, it suddenly goes up or goes down and when I again reconnect the charger it again goes back to 60 percent. Sometimes it doesn't charge only. Sometimes it starts charging, then all of a sudden it stops charging then starts by itself. :/
What's wrong with my device, I don't know. Need help.

Maybe you should try to charge it fully while it's off? Might not do anything but it might help You might just have a damaged/faulty battery.

Well, sometimes batteries just give out and start acting weird. How long have you had the phone? Sometimes as your battery ages, it just starts doing weird thing's. Wouldn't be a problem if we could change the battery

Give out within 7 months? Yeah, wouldn't have been a problem if we could change batteries. But that's the sad part of the story.
I am thinking of switching to Note 3 now. Charges fast, has a bigger battery, stays long. That's exactly what I need.

faster charging kills battery faster

Hi There, this may sound stupid but have you checked the lead/charger, is it an aftermarket one? I have also had similar probs but it was the conections. also try a system wipe and a full charge. and wait for the phone battery to fully flatten then repeat. always charge past 100 percent if you have installed a fresh rom or done a system wipe.

AlfredxX said:
fast charging plus over charging or charging while using the phone= super kill battery

This is true, however sometimes the battery can indicate it is fully charged when it isn't, ( battery stats can be wrong ). I always leave my phone on charge when I sleep and have never had any probs my xperia t is now about 18 months old.

Thanks everyone. I guess I have somehow damaged the battery way too early. I used to use it while charging also. May be the reason of it's present Behaviour.
Right now I am not letting the battery go below 50% and have found out that it stays good, charges, no hiccups
But as soon as the battery goes below fifty it starts behaving too badly, takes time to start charging.

I'm so paranoid about using my phone while it's charging I avoid it as much as possible.
Since you've only had it for 7 month's or so, you should still have the manufactures warranty. You should send it in for service. I had a problem with my old ZL last year, and I ended up getting a new phone.

funny charging

Hi!
I have this phone for one month and three weeks. I notice my phone battery usage seems to drop from 100% to 90% quite quickly, but slows down after that. Another thing, I plug my HTC charger and than plug it out, the battery increases by one percent magically. I plug it back in and than it drops by like 4% or 1%.
For example, I had my phone charged at 98%. I unplug the charger and it increases by 1%, so it is on 99% now. I plug the charger back into the phone and it drops to 95%. I did this again when it charges to 99%, same thing happened.
So can anyone help me out here?
Thank you

Estimating battery charge level is very hard, especially when there is also a current draw from it.
Leave it to charge for longer after it has gone green and stop worrying about it.

as BenPope wrote, leave it for a while with green light..
same happens to me...if i take it immediately once it hit 100%, I will drop to 97% in 5min

i have same problem when device is on while charging

Thank you for the response. I heard that once the led light goes green during charging, I should pull the plug straight away from the phone. Does this help to prevent battery from deteriorating quickly? I know that the phone's lithion battery prevent cases of overcharging, but can it still be subjected to killing the battery life faster. Thank you once again.

don't know about that just thought u could probably try let your battery drain completely and put it on charge after

The One wont let your phone overcharge, as you said, so theres no need to worry about leaving it plugged in.
As others said, eventhough your phone says 100% and the light goes green, this doesnt mean your phones actually topped off. Leave it in for 10 minutes after the light goes green and the quick drop from 100 to 90 that you mentioned will stop occuring. I can verify that this works.

I see. I left the phone charge for 20mins more and it fixed the rapid battery drain issue. Guess I should stop thinking too much about it.

Battery Issue - Unable to boot after 0%

My phone has water damage. I currently have it in a bag of rice to hopefully bring it back to life. After a few hours I plugged it in to see if that would help, and I it had a strange activity. The LED in the phone handset was lit and green. I never rooted it to enable the LED. Any advice would be great!
PS: Sorry if this post is not the most coherent. I am currently very hungover, and having problems functioning. Also, I have no idea how my phone got wet! Happy Sunday to me!

Try a battery reset
The Dirtydee Z3

The led turns on when the battery is so low that the display can't turn on to show that its charging.
Device should turn on after sometime

Testing that now. Thanks for the heads up!
Fingers (and toes) crossed!!

You should've let it rest on rice for like one day.
On the good side, the moto x is kind of water proof.

*Update*
The screen is now on and showing 0% battery. It has been plugged in for hours now with no change in level. I was able to get into FastBoot, however any option I choose results in the phone rebooting back to the battery charge level screen.
Thanks for the help!

*Update 2*
I plugged my phone into my cars 2.1 amp charger and after 20min or so it showed 100% battery. The phone booted, however it did not complete and turned off. When it did It read 0% once more. I have tried volume down and power for 3 mins with no result. Any more tips?
* update 3*
I pulled the back over off and held the battery ribbon down. LIFE!! Phone displayed 100% and it was running fine. However, when I removed it from power it shut off immediately.

I thought so too. I let it charge over night while it was cycling the boot screen, and when I awoke it was perfect. Battery 100% and turned on without issue. I understand letting your battery hit 0% is bad, but having it completely malfunction for 24+ hrs is rather poor play on Motorola's behalf.

How do you know that it's moto's fault?
Perhaps there was still some water left in your device?
This took longer to dry and caused the malfunction...
Don't judge so quickly!

I tell you this, because I had a motorola x with the same problem, the solution was to change the battery. Solved, try another battery

Dropping phone in water and having issues after is Moto's fault....? :silly:
I'll add... Water can and usually does wreak havoc on these things. Anything can go wrong after. Usually I'd say move on. Don't waste time or money trying to fix it.
You maybe were lucky. :good: But to suggest it's Moto's fault is crazy. Lol My X has died many times and 30 seconds on the charger and it boots. Anything you experienced was from the water.... Not a defect.

You put your phone in water, then turned it on again after only trying to dry it for a VERY short time. Bit amazing it even worked, and your complaining because it worked but only after drying?
Jesus man.

Pretty sure LIthium Ion batteries don't like going down near zero. Even when your phone says zero% and the phone automatically turns off it still isn't completely discharged.
I've let my nexus 7, and game controllers sit unused for a while. When you try to use them again they need a really long charge before they will work again.
The water probably put a load across the battery and nearly completely discharged it.

I actually just went thru this. I did the old school battery calibration using NeMa's app in the play store. Says to discharge 100%.. Phew lol. I was stressed. I had the same problems as above
