[Q] Z Turning off when using camera - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Team.
I have an Z C6604, Andriod 4.3.
Phone has been doing this annoying thing
a majority of the time if you open the camera App while the battery is under 30% the phone will turn off. Once it is off, you can ask it to turn on, it will display the first loading screen then turn off - as if it does not have the juice to start.
If you plug it into a charger / or let it charge up - it will turn on just fine.
Today i factory reset the phone. When i did it the battery was 100 percent and on charge. When the phone came back it was somewhere in the low 70 percent and on charge. This indicates some sort of batter miss-information reading to me.
not so often as the camera issue, but sometimes under 10 percent battery while your doing something it will turn of and do the same thing.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Will it be hardware, or is there a software issue?
Cheers,

[Q] Help!! Battery issue with Xperia TL?

Hey everyone. I was hoping that somebody could help me out with an issue that has just happened..Every night i plug my xperia tl into a wall charger, and turn it off. then i usually turn it back on when i wake up in the morning. This morning however, my phone wouldnt turn on. I unplugged it, then tried turning it on but still no luck. I plugged the phone back in and it turned the screen on showing the batter had 0%. I waited a few minutes then turned it on, and it worked, but i had like 1% battery. Basically i had my phone off all night, plugged into a charger and i woke up and the battery was dead. I've tried restarting it thinking it was a battery calibration error and that it might reset it but it still had a dead battery. Also when i restart my phone it usually resets the battery usage chart but it wont reset. Also on the graph it shows a sudden drain of the battery. the battery was at like 30% then went right to 0%..anyone else have this issue? And could anyone tell me how to fix it?? Thanks!
Okay, a little but later i tried unplugging my phone and restarting it again. When i turned it back on i saw a spike in the battery. It jumped from 40% to 55%...then when i plugged it back in it went back down to 40%...is there something wrong with the batter calibration? I just cant figure it out..
Another possibility is that the battery is damaged. Despite the charger being off at the wall, there is still a residual current. Connecting anything to an off socket for has always carried a risk, it's how many fires start
The phone actually warns you of this, think about the green message that says also unplug your charger from the wall.
I hope I'm wrong and it is just calibration error. Good job it's a tl with removable battery.
Should be able to get sorted under warranty though if it's not unlocked just say it wouldn't turn on.

TL doesn't have a removable battery.
I am also having issues w/ my battery draining very quickly after little to no use. when i check the battery usage it says the ebay app is using most of the charge but I never even had it open (I FC it), and now its saying the screen is using 54% of the battery even though the screen was turned off. whats the deal?

Battery Bug

Hi all, i have a bug on my phone's battery. today i installed a Rom (Evervol RunnyCM) beacouse i think it can fix my problem. I Always used RUU realeased by HTC , but when i installed ICS from "System Update" on Settings menu, i have a bug on battery. I charge my phone all the night, and on morning i have green led, so i think my phone i charged. when i leave him from charge, after 2 minutes, it turns off, and when i restart my phone, i have 50% battery. Sometimes, when i get in charge my phone and i have around 10-20%, after 2 minutes of charge, i have 100% battery charged and green led. when i leave him from charge, it turns off, and i have about 5-10% of power remaing. What the f*** happens on my phone?

i have this bug, too !!!
Please help
This battery bug is a known problem for quite some time, it can have different behaviours from user to user but basically, when you restart your phone you lose around 10% of battery, but the battery power is still there, for example you can charge it to 100%, restart it a couple of time and feel the real power of 50% battery for 1 day
Me and anders tried to repair this but with not too much success, i could say the simptoms were aleviated but that's pretty much it, the battery driver seems to me to have been developed in an internship, has lot's of TODO and FIXME in the sources.
Hope this helps
so, i can't fix this? i go to buy a new battery...

[Q] Phone reboots itself, then battery low

Hi all,
I've been having this problem:
The phone is charged, around 80%.
Suddenly, it reboots. There isn't a specific action that causes it to reboot, neither a message of any kind.
When it's done rebooting, the battery is lower by at least 50%, and usually it's around 5% or less.
Then it reboots again within a minute and continues until no battery is left.
Ways to temporarily solve it, so far:
connect to a charger and charge from 5%. It never rebooted while charging.
-or-
Take out the battery and turn it on only when connected to a charger. This way the battery is back to 80% or how much it was before the 1st reboot.
Ways I've tried to solve the problem permanently and didn't work (some solutions I found and tried)
Factory reset.
Putting a piece of paper between the battery and the back panel, in case the battery is loose.
Had the phone and battery connectors tested- no result
Installed an app that tells me what is the battery health- it's healthy.
Tried to understand if it happens only when phone is hot, cpu high, etc- found no pattern.
My phone has 4.1.2, unrooted.
Did this happen to anyone? any other ideas?
Put the battery on a flat surface and see if it wobbles.
Sounds like it got swollen, so it's time to get a new battery.
Same here, found a solution yet?

New Gear battery sometimes goes from 1% to 100% while screen is off

Hello Good People,
Can someone please help with this SM-V700 battery issue.
This week I replaced my battery and all seemed well but the same issue is happening again.
I would use the gear, and when I thought the screen was simply off it wouldn't turn on. I would put it on the charger and after a few seconds it would read 1% and within seconds it would go to 100% and I would than be able to power on the device.
Any tips or solutions for this issue? I thought it was a battery issue so that is why I replaced the battery with a brand new.
I can be using the watch with 100% full battery, and when I press the power button I get nothing. I put it on the charger like mentioned above and bam... from 1% to full in seconds.

Question Batter and drop of refresh rate

Hi all,
2 days ago I decided to calibrate battery, which is done by fully charging phone, then fully discharging phone with normal use. But phone turns off at 1% and doesn't fully discharge, so I turned it back on and stayed alive for 40mins at highest brightness watching videos on Facebook until finally turned off.
Then fully charge your phone while device is off, (but because device fully drained will be a bit tricky to charge it, don't know why, look like keeps 1% of charge to save charging settings or something) anyway, after a few attempts of plug in and un plug I managed to get it charging, and charged in full.
Result:
Better battery life, obviously. And the strange one is that refresh rate drop when unlocking device as stopped and device is smooth everytime, been over 2 days now without a single drop. Not sure how is this related but this happened with me, free to try it if you wish.
Thought to share my experience.
Happy to answer questions
How did you turned on? After i get the notification that in 30 seconds phone will shutdown, it does shutdown and when i keep pressed the power button its powering, showing mi logo then one logo with empty battery and shuts down again.
