Hey people, has anyone had this kind of problem, the phone shows its charging, even when powered off the charging splash screen appears, but the battery doesnt get any juice.
I wonder if its the usb daughter board of the motherboard... any clues to how to know which is causing this ?
Try a new battery

Well the thing is i bought this thing used (and got screwed over, yay), and it had 94% of the charge at first when i got it. and it was not slow to recharge or anything.. got good use out of it during the day.
how would have the guy selling this have charged a dead battery to 95? So far im thinking its either the usb daugther board (not too expensive to fix) or the motherboard (im f***ed)

I was using a wifi tether on my phone running PCForce's CM7 and my phone restarted (it was connected to my PC via USB) and when it came back on it said "Charging 0%" and whenever I unplug it it switches off, never seen this before but it seems, to me, like the battery has been fried anyone think the same.
I also have a spare battery that works fine, which also tells me that it is some problem with the battery, and running a wifi tether can heat things up a bit which brought me to that conclusion.
Anyone wanna throw any ideas on if its possible to fix it, I am now using the battery that came with the phone but it has a crack near the contacts which doesn't fill me with confidence.

try with 600 mHz it solved the problem for me
With mobile data and Wifi tethering enabled, my phone can get up to 52 degrees celsius in some cases without charging. I usually turn the phone off and take out the battery for a few minutes for it to cool down. I guess a temperature that high is caused by overclocking. I'm not sure if its damaging or not but I do prevent progression of operations in that temperature.
I also have a crack on the battery. Had it for a few months now and no problems so far
How 'cracked' is it?

Its only about half a centemeter long, and it only seems to be affecting the case, but got a replacement last year (was the repacement that got fried)
Havent tried it with andreas's advice yet but I will

I don't think the crack will be that much of a problem. If you want, you could take it to someone experienced just to be sure.

It shouldnt, but I like to be sure lol.
Also setting to 600MHz didn't help, guess i'm stuck with my stock one for now.
wow, good job. Yep, mine charges up to 100% before the crack. After that battery hardly charges up to 97-98%.
I have crack to, but battery go to 100. Btw, i glue mine with tape.

my battery didnt passed 99% but i do wipe battey and solved the problem

well it's look like the rom's fault,change rom maybe work
My battery cracked as well, but it has been dropped a few times...
It is a real shame because my previous LG phone was the LG Viewty and that was an amazingly well built phone. Cost ~£100 and came with an amazing camera and 3G front facing camera too. Shame it didn't have android. So I don't know why LG decided to go really cheap on the build qualities - you'd think having cracked batteries would have come up in their design tests but they probably didn't care...
I got the same trouble...

Hey guys,
I connected my phone to my PC over night for charging as always but when I got up and took my phone it only had 4% battery! It's like the battery just wiped itself from a moment to the other. And now when I try to charge it again the light shows it charges but when I turn on my phone after 30min the battery didn't charge at all... Did anyone experience this before? Do I have to buy a new battery?
Sounds like your battery is shot. So you may need a different battery.
Try different cables etc but if that doesn't work you need a New battery.

Tried a few cables. Weird thing though: In recovery it says 32% and when I boot it up now it says 9% but doesn't really change. Seems like the battery is screwed up... Could it be that the Desire HD has got the exact same battery? Because if it's so I could try with the battery from my dad's DHD...
EDIT: Ok, it's not the same This is gonna be expensive...
EDIT2: So I got my new battery but the phone still drains too fast imo and I can't really charge the battery to 100%... Is sth wrong with the USB-port??

This might help.
Let your battery drain completely and let your cell get switched off.
And then in switched off state, charge your phone completely.
Switch it on...Use your cell as you do it regularly.
Repeat this procedure 3-4 times.
You will be surely benefitted.
did you try plugging into the wall? different USB port?
I had similar issue awhile back that it didn't want to charge with USB but with the AC adapter it worked fine. Also noticed it wouldn't work with USB at all I sent it in for repair and it was apparently USB port broken. Then I had to send it in again because when they fixed usb they broke mainboard
p.s omg I hate captcha tried posting this 10 times ...
Looks like I forgot to post So here is what happened: I got a new battery but even that I couldn't charge with USB. Than I pulled out my AC adapter and it works fine now. Looks like my USB Port is shot but since it still works and just won't charge my phone, I'll ignore that. But my old battery was surely shot because I couldn't even charge it with AC adapter...
Sorry if this seems a little late. It could be the roms fault you are getting strange readings. When I use ice cold and reboot my phone, the battery percentage reading changes like crazy. Sometimes the reboot makes the reading go up, and sometimes down.
USB port breaking is a common fault on inc s, though, so it could be that also, as you have said.
I tried ar least 5 different ROMs so I'm pretty sure that's not it That was also the first thing that came into my mind;D
Have u checked the charger plug cos if its that stupid black charger that comes with the phone they can play up my old one does this and I have to twist it slightly for the pins to touch try a apple charger or another USB charger

Hi, I have a funny problem since today morning. I came home yesterday and plugged the N7000 on the official loader. It flashed up as it ever does and I went to bed. Today I went to my phone and the only thing it does is showing the Battery with a non rotating circle in there. The same thing happening when the battery is fully dead, but before it continues to boot further the screen starts to flicker like if the battery is fully dead and powers down. Then it does the same thing again and again and again. I cant intervene with any button combination at all as it seems.
One thing to note, I had the NX Kernel flashed and increased the USB charge power from 450 mAh to 600 mAh meaning the same power level as it uses on a real PSU. In theory this should not even make any problem here then.
What could I do? Any way to make it STFU and just charge the Battery to a useful level before it boots and seems like to use too much power to make charging of any use?
And the most important question? What could be the problem? The Battery is just a year old and a official one.
Replace the battery. Sorry mate :/

So you dont think its a hardware problem? Would be cool, but I really wonder why the half filled battery from yesterday does suddently die...

Because it's old and dying out, perhaps.

Or because of the USB. I dont know if it was the problem, but some twisting of the plug in the connector and some time lying around in the sun and it lives again ^^
Hi all
A friend of mine have a 16GB Nexus 7 WiFi with a strange problem! The tablet is loosing battery juice very fast when completely off (Shut down)!
After I tested it: Charge to 100% and power off, 12 hours later when I power it on the batter is around 7x% !!! I made this test several times! We sent the tablet to an official ASUS repair center (the tablet is just 2 months old) and they presumably reconnected the battery connector! (loose connector according to them) They returned the device and the problem was the same! Sent the tablet again and this time they changed IO/FPC cable (whatever this is) but again the problem persist! Any ideas as to why this tablet behaves like this?
Any help on the matter will be greatly appreciated!
Bad battery

Hate to ask, but did you even check the battery usage utility or anything like that?
Have you tried changing your charger? Although from what you said it may be a problem with the unit. Try flashing 4.2.2 if you are in 4.3

How do you check that with the phone turned off? Also it wont los anything when turned off.
When turned on the battery decreases faster?
Bad battery. Period.
Wait....or bad charger. Does it drain when its shutoff while plugged in? Or unplugged?
If it drains when off and unplugged ....bad battery.
If it drains when off and plugged in....bad battery or charger.
The end.

Actually ....worse case....something is wrong with the tablet. Off is off. It should barely drain. If it is and the battery is ok....then unit is faulty.....and that I'd think would mean doom.

Lol sorry, I misread the post. Well, it's possible that it's just reading it wrong. Does the percentage go back up over time once it's turned on again?
Your battery is defective mate, if you are under warranty then go ahead & get it replaced , I also had same issues then what i did I forced them(Asus) that I want replacement then they simply replaced it ...without any trouble ..I am from India ..here they don't waste time on repairing ,they changes part , if you go twise for RMA then 3rd time whole device gets replaced ...

Similar problem
I am not sure what exactly caused this. But I had the similar problem with my Galaxy Nexus 7 / I replaced the battery with Zerolemon and I didnt get any problem afterward.
However check with manufacturer if there are any fix for this.

Hello!
Well, I guess I'm the new (un)lucky owner of my stepfather's Xperia T since he decided Z3 suits him more (not that we are rich, he's just kinda shoppingholic or smth).
I replaced old HTC Wildfire S with it and I was fkin amazed. There was no root or tweak that could ever make that little HTC (who has supported me over the years even after falling in water and all other ****) be even a close match to my shiny new-old XPeria.
However, the phone keeps irritating me with it's charging problems.
I'm an electric engineering student and this crap sounds like connection problem (but I don't wanna admit it to myself), but I still hold your opinions to be very important since well....you guys know this phone through it's soul.
Here is the weird thing...
I got it with it's original charger while I still had a charger I used to charge my HTC. It was some old nokia cable and was charging HTC perfectly, always without a problem, but Xperia always seemed to have a bad connection with it. I tried it's original charger and almost the same. That was bearable until last few days, connection was starting to grow so weak, it took me like half an hour to make the damn phone charge. Worst thing, battery run dry, so can you imagine that feeling when you have to wait 5 seconds before the battery logo does it's animation before you can actually realize if your phone is charging or just "ate a spark".
I've searched on google and many people seem to be having similar, even though much worse problems (phone does not react to the charger at all) and I'm actually afraid that's where my dear Xperia is going.
Weird thing is when I visited my parents last week, I tried plugging it into my mother's charger (S4 charger) the phone started charging immediately, I tried rocking the charger a little left and right, and it didn't seem to distract it.
Tried friend's charger, same problems again!
Can't figure out what the problem might be...I thought it was the cable, then the port, now I don't know what to think of anymore.
Help please!
Thanks guys!
UPDATE:
OK, while I was writing the post and doing other stuff, the phone was charging, I disconnected it now to check for battery level, I succesfully turned it on (no more double red blinking) but the phone just showed PIN screen and Turning off.. note appeared. Which means after half an hour of charging, the battery is at the same level....?
Should I let it charge overnight?
I mean I don't feel comfortable doing it since I can't see the battery and my landlord has no tools in the whole apartment...Maybe the battery might be damaged...
Try your mother's USB cable with your recharger.
I guess it's your USB port that is dying.. .
PS now I know what's a stepfather.. LOL.. Thank you XDA (and thank you Google Translator)

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that, but it's going to be a problem talking her into it
Well, I'm glad you learnt it haha
Wohoo!
Successfully turned it on, after 20minutes of charging it's at 1% and hopefully it's gonna go up!
Oh! In the meantime the phone just turned off again showing empty battery while it was still charging! O.O
FU Sony. Telling my shoppingholic stepdad not to waste money on Z3. -.-
Try to clean the USB port with cotton and alcohol. Maybe it's only some dirt over the metallic contacts.

Well, couldn't wait. Turned it on again. 32% as we speak.
Let's se what you've got for me this time Xperia...
By the way, I know the battery is most common problem on this cell, it kept restarting for my stepdad, he got the battery replaced already....

The problem could be: some dirt, a USB metallic pin bent or broken, the USB port entirely broken, or just an UFO that steals your energy only when you connect it to the recharger
