So I got a ME176C a while ago as a gift, and both these problems were there from the start. Since it was brought a month before I received it, I could not take it back to the store for a direct replacement. Before I contact warranty, I was wondering if anyone encountered these two problems.
1. The left earphone has a major buzzing noise after a sound is played. At higher volume, this isn't evident, but you can still hear it under the louder sound. I tried 3 separate ear/headphones that worked normally on other devices
2. The tab stopped charging properly. I'd leave it overnight, and it'd be stuck at X%, but it'll show charging complete. Unplugging and replugging it make it charge for about 5 minutes before reverting to charging complete. Leaving it overnight shows no increase in charge %, but I can't check if the thing is fully charged or not. Turning it off and leaving it to charge make it charge very slowly. I left it for 12 hours, and it went from 50 to 75%. Before this happened, it was fine, until one day it wouldn't charge past 50%. After multiple reboots, it jumped straight from 50% to 100%, then the current symptoms started happening.
Thank you
I have the same problem with battery. I got Asus ME176CX and its not charging up to %100. For example; I am plugging charger at %50 , its charging up to %54 and showing " Charging Completed" . Then unplugging and replugging charger , its continuing to charge but stopping after charge %3 - %4 more.
I tried factory reset. It doesnt solve. I have .201 last official version. Also tried to drain the battery to %10 then charge. I get same issue.
Yesterday charged up to %60 then restarted tablet. Battery gauge shows %100 then works normally.
I think battery has calibration problem. It shows wrong percentage. I didnt find any solution. I will use warranty for service.
Seems to be a device issue. I tried flashing back to 182, did nothing
Hi, did you find any solution? After Lollipop 5.0 update same charging issue continues. I send device to ASUS Service then came back and didnt change anything. Looks like device has internal battery problem. I will try to get pay back from warranty.

The other day I was in a hospital and my phone was next to the bed but the charger wire was tangled in the bed. So a nurse came up and rolled out the bed and the phone fell from quite high on the (hard) floor.
It still worked, screen wasn't cracked so I didn't think much of it.
But now, the phone can be charged with the charger. As soon as I unplug the charger there are 2 things that can happen:
1. The phone keeps saying it's charging. Other than that the phone is fully functional. Battery drain is much higher though, in 10 minutes I lose 7% battery.
2. The charging icon in the battery will flash on and off. When I switch off the screen, the lock-screen immediatly turns on and the text charging blinks, it's like someone is plugging in the charger and takes it out immediatly, battery drain is even higher when this occurs, I lose 50% within the hour, depending of what I'm doing.
Sometimes the problem is not there, the phone will function normally, but the problem will come back within 1 or 2 hours and usually when I plug in a charger and take it out later. Also, sometimes it seems the phone is not charging and the charge indicator will stay at a certain percentage but when I reboot the phone it it fully charged (according to the indicator).
First I thought it was an android problem. But when I switch off the phone the charging image appears as well and starts blinking, also the menu and back button flash on and off. It's also quite difficult to switch on the phone at this point and the battery image shows only the outline of the battery, not how much charge is in it.
So far I tried 2 other chargers, 2 other batteries (1 original Samsung and 1 after market). Rebooted the phone many times and left the battery out for an hour.
Anyone knows of what causes such a problem? Of course, the fall was the start of the problem. Could there be some pins bent in the usb socket of the phone?

I had a problem recently in which even though I kept my phone on charging (and it showed that it is charging), the battery percentage either remained same or it went down even though it was plugged in.. went to samsung and they said the usb port is damaged and they replaced it.. I think the same resolution will be for your problem
Mmm....makes sense. What does Samsung charge for that?

Have been loving my Turbo, but yesterday my battery went haywire.
Took my phone off my TYLT Qi charger in the morning, and after 3 hours the phone still listed the battery at 100%. That's with about 40 minutes of screen time.
Turned the phone off and charged it until it was back to 100. After that, the rest of the day was without issue.
Went to bed, put Turbo back on Qi charger, used it in the morning for about 15 minutes and battery was at 77%. Put back on charger, went to 100% in minutes, took it off and within 30 minutes I was back in the 70`s.
Without root I can't calibrate the battery so I'm open to suggestions. Used the same Qi charger on my Droid Maxx without issue.
Scratching my head...
I had some erratic percentage activity just this morning. I also use a TYLT Qi charger. It sat on the charger all night, but when I pulled it off this morning it said 93%. I put it back on the charger and it started jumping back and forth between 93% and 100%. It kept switching between charging and not charging as it was sitting there. I don't think the TYLT charger is to blame, because it always functioned perfectly with my S4. There's definitely something screwy with Qi charging and the turbo.
This started happening to me yesterday. I think the issue started while connected to my car charger. I've used Qi charging most nights and the Turbo charger a few times without issue. My battery died while I was out, I plugged it into my car and the % jumped from 0-20% in about 30 seconds, it then continued to show it charging to 100% after a few minutes. Needless to say, the phone died about 10 minutes later (as it was incorrectly reporting a charge), and ever since then I've been trying to fix this issue. It appears all of my chargers are now charging the phone "too fast", which in turn doesn't let it fully charge and it dies quickly. It's improved so far today, and I've gone so far as to reset my phone to see if the issue persists. I'll report back with my findings.
My issue seems to be more in line with another thread, it might help you out as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/wrong-charger-battery-jumped-to-100-t2926010
Contacted Moto for support. After being told I need to manage my battery use and screen brightness (which I think we're all capable of doing) the last resort given was to do a factory reset. I tried to clear the cache in recovery but the phone shut down with a dead battery, I plugged it in, and supposedly it charged to 100% in less than 5 minutes! And that's without the Turbo Charger (heavy sarcasm).
I'll try the reset later, if that doesn't work I'm sending it back. Seems to be a common issue that others are having...
I've been experiencing the erratic readings as well. First, yesterday it stayed at 100% for ~4 hours. Then, after soft reset, dropped to 95% for a few hours. Another soft reset AND wiping cache, went to 89% and appeared to drain "properly". However, when it hit ~15%, it died; I hadn't charged it since the first stuck 100% reading. Immediately upon plugging it into the Turbo charger, it read 100% with current draw/supply at 0mA. I was running ART runtime, so I just switched back to Dalvick. It still reads 100%, but I'm seeing a current supply of >2.4A as if it were charging.
Backing up everything now, going to try a hard reset, and pray it takes. I'm not optimistic. This sucks not having root to figure out what's going on or at least being able to force battery calibration. I'll report back once I'm done...
Update: I reset the phone through recovery, am on Dalvik, and everything appears to be functioning properly. Phone has been charging and discharging as expected. I just tried an app called Advanced Battery Calibrator in an attempt to reset the battery file, so we'll see how that goes.

Same problem here. I use a Tylt exclusively to charge phone and tonight my phone died when it showed 100% charge. Turbo charged it for 10 seconds and then it showed 100%. Turned it back on and it died again a few minutes later. Never did this before and I've had the phone since it was released.
same problem here. and yes, I too use TYLT qi charger (seems to be common among the others experiencing this issue) and occasionally the turbo charger..
edit, will try this and report: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56862617&postcount=11
Following up, that tip above did seem to correct my battery back to normal (thus far). I drained the battery and then left it on the turbo charger for a few extra hours before turning the phone back on. I did this procedure twice. I have not yet resumed using the tylt qi charger, but ill report back once i know for sure my battery stats are correct, and then try resuming to use my tylt chargers (which are my normal daily chargers at home and the office).

this also solved the problem for me, thank you!!
I use the Tylt charger for overnight charging and had a similar problem yesterday. I noticed that the battery seemed to be discharging at the rate of 10-12% per hour with very light use. By the 7 hour mark off of the charger I was at 2% and the phone shut down a few minutes later. I plugged it in to the turbo charger and I was back to 100% in about 3 minutes. Obviously, the phone died a few minutes later once again. I was planning a trip to the Verizon store to exchange what I thought was a faulty phone, when I found the solution that seemed to work for other people.
1. Plug in turbo charger
2. Press and hold the power key until the phone restarts and shows the correct battery percentage
3. Leave phone on turbo charger and allow it to charge normally
4. Stop using Qi until there's a fix (if they even know about it)
I hope someone's looking into this as I really like my Tylt. I used it for a year with my Maxx with no issues whatsoever.

From what I've read, the wireless chargers may not be the main issue, have you plugged the phone into a usb3.0 port recently? that seems to be the beginnings of troubles for people. I use a qi charger every night and don't have this problem unless I plug into a laptop for some reason.
Glad you're fixed!
Well I thought the Qi charger was the issue so I cleared the cache and Turbo charged all night... So this afternoon I was at 70% when I took a picture and soil of a sudden... Dead.
So there goes that theory!!! My XT1254 was fine for months. This all started last weekend. No new apps. No explainable reason. Just that Moto is fail.
This is ridiculous. Why is there no fix? Ready to sell this pos and say goodbye to Failorola.
Hi, my HTC One M8 was acting very odd as of yesterday. I usually leave it charging over night but this morning it only charged to 60 percent, I disregarded it and continued on with my day. I found that during the day my phones battery was decreasing rather faster than usual. When I got home it was dead, so I charged it and it turned on but stayed on 1 percent. I was given the notification that said "phone charging too slow, try original charger," when I was using the original charger. I unplugged the USB cable and put it back in hopes of getting rid of that notification, only to find that I was greeted by a new notification that stated, "phone not charging, try different charger." So I decided to let it charge for an hour, when I came back it was still 1 percent. So I then decided to try charging it with a different cable, different outlet, and different charger. After trying a variety of different combinations nothing changed, then I tried charging it from my PC. It took a while but it got to 13 percent. So I put it back in the wall charger and found that the charge was actually decreasing. So I then found out that I should clean the charging port, there was some lint in it so I cleaned it out by removing it with a paper clip, still I had the same notification. So with the twelve percent I had left I factory resseted it in hopes of fixing my phone. Still even after that, it doesn't charge. So I checked to see if my PCwould still charge it, unfortunately it no longer did. With no charging solution my phone died. I have currently left it plugged into an outlet but the device stays off with it showing the battery charging but it still says 1 percent. I've tried every solution, cleaning the port, different cable, charger, and outlet, even factory resetting. I don't have warranty either. Should I take it to a repair shop? All help is appreciated!

Replace battery .. calibrating the battery is not possible now as it doesnt have charge
Sent from my MotoE2(4G-LTE) using Tapatalk
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.)
Has anyone else notice problems charging yet?
When charging using the supplied adapter, the battery percentage stops increasing at some point. 46% or 67% etc it just stays stuck even though the charging symbol remains.
The phone stays hot like it is charging, but it still says '46% 1 hour remaining to fully charge etc'. If you leave it for an hour, it stays at 46%. If you unplug and restart the phone, it will be at 100%.
I hope this is a software bug? It seems others are impacted too. google support link below.

Mine is working fine
Same error, but on 92%. I didn't restart the phone, and after 5 hours without charger battery level went down normally.

Surely that just sounds like a software issue or glitch. It's not stopped charging, it's just not updated correctly?

yes it appears that way. hopefully.
Hi ! Mine is stuck at 100% after charging at night. I use the google pixel stand. After rebooting battery falls down rapidly to the correct amount but it gets stuck everytime I charge it back fully with the stand. I'll need to try with wire charging though to see if the issue is the same.
No such issue with my Pixel 5 Sorta Sage here in Australia. Sounds like a software glitch though. Had mine for 3 days now and it's been going really well. I'm also not seeing this "gap" issue that others have mentioned either.
After my pixel shutted down at 1% battery (24 hours standby and 7.5 hours of screen)
I put it to charge and turned it on and left it charging.
I came back later. And the phone was at 1% level still charging. With battery saver enabled
I restarted and the phone was already at 100%
What the hell is going on.
I used my Pixel 4 charger instead of Pixel 5 but they look like the same charger with type C power delivery

Mine has this issue too - same with different adapters, but doesn't happen every time with the same adapter. When plugging in it will go up a couple of % over a few minutes, then gets stuck - it might go up another percent randomly here and there, but not at the "actual" rate that it's charging.
Restarting seems to force it to update to the correct charge percentage, but not to carry on increasing at the correct rate. Tempted by a factory reset!

Mine got stuck at 69% for over 12 hours, i had to do a factory reset for sending the phone back anyway and it was still at 69% after the factory reset. So i don't think factory reset will do any good. Probably a software bug they need to fix.
I've also just seen this, the charge indicator got stuck at 47%, when reconnected the charging cable, the charge indicator quickly got up to around 80% and then carried on at a normal pace.
Same here. Stuck at 44%, then 88%, then 100%, then 96%. Some people were suggesting that it's a bug related to the far-right icons in the customization of the launcher. Don't know if that's true but defenitely will give it a try
There is some update in Pixel forums. According to it, will be fixed in a future software update.
