Hi bros, before sorry for my very bad English...
I try to explain me well as I can...
When I charge my Xperia Z switch on, charge go slow, until it stops... After some nights of charging (about 8 hours) I find it not fully charged (at very casual percentage).
When I charge it switch off, it charge fully to 100% in normal time and I see that if I reboot it (so I switch off and after switch on) before start night charge, it doesn't have problems and get a normal charge to 100%.
Why I have this problem? And what I can do?
I flashed to 4.2.2 es version and I have not problems, days after I get root (doomlord easyroot) and cwm and I started to have this problems... So I reflash with full wipe to my 4.1.2 ita unbranded but the problem is there yet...
Wait your answer and remember I said u before that I have an horrible English

sorry
not so clear on some of your issues
but as i know
some people complain about charging 100% turn off, only to find it is not 100 after boot
well, as far as i know
Battery of Z is not so stellar
for me I accept that the "simple" act of booting up can eat up the battery
(i put "" in the simple, as I dont think it a simple process, screen uses batt, the vibration, the internals... all uses battery)
heck
even when charging, the phone is slowly but surely draining the batt
I narrow it down to two condition
1. the app uses too much processing power plus the screen is a battery hogger, thus the charger is insufficient to cover the usage
2. more likely is the issue of heat where extensive usage of the phone generates too much heat and activate safety system such as cpu throttling and to some extent stopping the chargin process (actually seen cases where my phone heats up and the battery drops like flies, but when cooled the back with a heat-sink, the drop is lessen
Are you using a stock charger because the stock kernel will only charge at 500ma with a unknown charger (China, Japanese import)
Official charger is 1000 or 1500 ma
XZ Dock is 2000ma
Try using a official charger or even the XZ dock, I had the same problem that I would get battery down to around 15% put it onto charge and then go to bed to only wake up and find my phone only charged to around 60%. I got round it with a Sony charger and a dock

Hi, im using charger included in its box.
When i charge it without a reboot (after 20/24 that it has been on and i dont switch off it) battery charged at some random percentage between 60% and 95% and back over is hot.... today i dont reboot it and try to charge with battery widget on so i can see history battery how proceeding maybe to get more informations about it...
I have the same problem. Original stock ROM, original charger, it goes till 95 % and it stops, the LED shows green as it is fully charged.
Since I have it for few days I will bring it back to the service.

When I charge my phone and it says the battery is full and 100%, but after I unplug the charger, I only get 98% of battery. It is not really a problem but i'm just wondering if anyone else has this also.

Seems to be phone battery calibration, happens to me too. Try not to unplug the charger immediately after 100%, let it overcharge for few minutes more.

Also happening to me... It's because battery calibration...
This is the normal behavior of overcharge protection.
imagine you battery is charged till 100%, the overcharge protection now disable charging till the battery is loosing a few % of its charge, but the "battery memory" doesnt recognize this respectively doesnt refresh its state so your battery indicator will always show 100% until you unplug the phone.
if you unplug the phone at 100% it might be, that the battery memory is refreshing after loosing one more % of charge and now recognize, thats it wasnt at 100% at all and show you the current charge.
e.g. if you charge your phone when its off-state, this behavior shouldnt take place and the phone should charge till exactly 100%. important for recalibrating the battery.
Here, if you have root use this
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.liteup.calibratebattery
You can also load up clockwork recovery anf clear battery stats.
If no root access, fo the following.
1.Power on let fully charge
2.turn phone off while still plugged in
3. Remove battery and power cord and push power button for 5 secs
4. Replace battery amd power cord
5. Let fully charge again.
Once charged, power up while pluged in, once phone is fully loaded un plug and monitor battery,
None root battery calibration should be finished.

When it happens to me... I inmediatly replug the charger and wait... the second time I umplug I get 100% and It seems to repair the issue for the future charges.
i noticed this too! sometimes i do get 100% after charging. But most of the times its 98% immediately after unplug! And i have my battery calibrated too!:/
same issue
any solution for this guys?. I've calibrated my battery so many times and it is not fixing the 98% charge when unpluggin
mine's not...
try screen-on charging...
go to settings>deveLopment>check stay awake(charging)
if you're in Gingerbread version (2.3.4) when battery reached 99%, you"LL need to wait 1 more hour to make it fuLLy charged...
that's it!
tried and tested by most android users...
just charge it without using to avoid excessive heat of your device... :good:
What about first time using battery? Charge the battery 100% first or let it drain to 0% then fully charge?
I bought 2400mah battery, but cant get significant performance, fully charged first time use..
I think you were ripped off.
we will miss you Nicholas.... /s
If your going to buy an aftermarket battery. You get what you pay for. I ordered a mugen 1800mah delivered in 4 days from Hong Kong. My synopsis Bloody brilliant!
Waiting for my Jiayu g2s to be delivered
I am not new to the phone and I have done battery calibrations many times. I used MIUI for a long time, then went to Pinnacle 1.1. After a few weeks one night after fully charging, I unplugged the charger and it dropped to 70% instantly. I could then plug the charger back in and it will not move from 70% for a while, then it will register 'fully charged'. Removal of the charger again will make it drop to 70%. Turning off the device and charging will show the green battery about 2/3 full, but not registering full. I then went back to MIUI thinking it was a rom flaw, but this problem has persisted. I am right now charging on stock JF6 with the same results. If this is indicative of a defective battery, has anyone seen this before? The battery is 14 months old.
TL;DR - It seems that the battery wont charge past 70% regardless of ROM/Kernel.
I had a similar problem but it was because I wasn't using the charger that comes with the phone switched chargers problem was solved.

I drained the battery last night, and then charged while off fully. The green battery icon went to 100%, and as soon as I turned it on it said 73%.
You might want to check into getting a new battery I got a extended battery for 10$ you can probably find the original sized battery for about the same price if you look around.

Google "bump charging". I had a similar issue when I was on serendipity vii, it would charge to full, but as soon as I unplugged it would drop to 80%. I bump charged, then calibrated. All was well after that.

Tried that. It hangs at about the 2/3 full level on the large green battery icon when the phone is charging off so I really can't do a proper bump charge.
I think I am going to resign to it being a battery past its prime...

I find that hard to believe, but it can't hurt to try!
Sounds like you need a battery calibration..
1. discharge completely
2. plug into a USB port on the computer for a slow charge up to 100% (overnight while "off")
3. unplug the device and turn it on
4. if you have a ROM with CWM installed, clear the battery stats at this time.
5. plug it into usb until it's charged to 100% (while on)
6. unplug the device and turn it off
7. plug in into usb again until its charged to 100%(while "off")
8. turn it on and use it as normal
This will allow the device to relearn it's battery charging characteristics. This is the battery calibration.

You are not leaving it long enough. It will reach 100% once it charges what it believes is 30% more. It must be off and you must clear the Batt stats.
Once it stops charging it marks that as fully charged. Your battery needs calibration.

You are right.
I did a small test with a coworkers battery today.
His battery in his phone - 88%
His battery in my phone - 58%
Leaves a delta of 30% which is exactly why mine stops charging at 70%.
It has gotten to 100% while off charging in the green. I then booted to CWM recovery and wiped battery stats, but it turns on at 70% again. It is almost like it isn't deleting the file.

It's true, go to your nearest AT&T store and tell them about your issue and they'll take your information (name, address etc...) and ship you a brand new OEM (Samsung) battery no questions asked. No idea why they don't just hand you one on the spot, but it only takes a few days to get to you anyways.

did you finish the procedure I mentioned? There is a calibration procedure. It involves turning it on and off several times and plugging it in an unplugging it several times.

I followed the calibration instructions perfectly. I have done it quite often actually. Didn't work. It acts as if CWM isn't actually deleting the file.
Deleted batterystats.bin via a terminal emulator and still no luck.

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.

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%

i just bought an extra battery.lets see how it goes.
i noticed my old battery had a small bump in the middle seems bloated. hmm
i remembered last time i used xperia s charger trice,it has 1.5kA it realy charge fast. i think that caused the problem?
when my sister charge her xperia s, the charger just explode.. and she scolded me why am i using her charger.
im using my old charger which is 700ma but it charge just fine. lately when i use the xperia s charger and went back to my old one,it was acting strange. it charges really slow and if i use the phone,it depletes even when charging.
im going to flash another rom,and see if its rom related or the battery isue.
thanks for replying.
ok,im on with my new battery but still depletes while im using it. im just browsing. on the widget it say im currently charging with 1000ma. wierd, dont know how to solve this.
[SYMPTOMS I HAD] it would charge very slowly, if the screen is on, it would actually discharge. When the phone was off, it would slowly charge (i.e. >5 hours to full charge). and it would discharge very quickly (i.e. 1% per 2~3 mins). When the phone was off, it would charge sometimes and sometimes not. Figured that when the phone was off, you really are negating much of the software influences so this could be a hardware issue, however, wanted to make sure before going down the hardware route.
Did some research, searched the forums and searched some more.
I had tried 5 different chargers, 3 different USB cables and had bought a replacement battery.
Steps taken:
1. Cleaned with thick paper - no change
2. Cleaned with thick paper & rubbing alcohol - no change
3. Cleared with Compressed gas - no change (on first charge, there was a change but then back to normal)
4. Attempted to clean with vacuum (with finer nozzle) - no change
5. Used charging apps from playstore - didn't show charging details - considered the port was faulty
6. Tried to find default references for charging as mentioned in one of the forums - unable to find it
7. Found a replacement USB port charger board and replaced it - working fine
So it could be the actual port is faulty. If you symptoms match, it could be time to take it into the service centre, restoring to stock first of course. The note I am using had slow charging for about 2 months prior to really slow charging.
i had change the usb port and its back to normal. 2hrs at least and its full.
Fingers crossed, thats all you need.
I just noticed that I only get the batterycare message when I charge the phone before bed via a cable. When I charge it overnight wirelessly it does. It have the message (how it will charge to 90% by 9am or whatever). Does this mean batterycare isn't working when we charge wirelessly?
hey... do you know how you got Battery Care to show up? I have my phone for just almost a week now... I charge long overnight before sleep and wake-up around same timing, but still don't have the Battery Care showing up.... I tried toggling off then ON again before sleeping but still doesn't show up... do you know how I should fix this?
I hope it has nothing to do that it's a fast charger right? the standard fast charger that comes with it.....the QC3.0 one..
Thanks

I used an XZ and now use an XZ Premium and have found the Battery Care feature frustrating for the reasons you cite. It only works under fairly narrow conditions. And then it has to "relearn" after a factory reset or firmware flash.
My workaround is plug my phone into a fish aquarium light timer overnight and program it to turn on (begin charging) at a time that results in the phone being at 100% when I wake up. That way the phone doesn't sit on the charger at 100% for hours on end...which is what Battery Care aims to do.
And it works for any phone.
I also use an old Sony Charger from my 2012 Xperia T. It charges really slowly...which results in a lower amount of heat in the battery and hopefully prolongs its lifespan. I don't need fast charging overnight!
I've only been using a wireless charger, "have them all over", since I received the phone and I get the battery care notification when the battery is below 70% otherwise the message doesn't show up.

I don't use Battery Care,just wireless charging, primarily at night, with a table top fan going all night as well.
During workweek usage, I don't even bother topping off nightly, this phone does well between charges to skip a day &/or, just throw it on the charger when I wake up & take it off on my way out the door for the day. I don't worry about having it @ 100%...,50-60% will get me through a 12hr shift w/room to spare.
