Hi
I've been replacing my 3 years old battery in my Moto G LTE and I have an issue that new battery cant charge. I guess deep discharge protection was activated.
If phone is off and I connect charger, screen with 0% battery shows up. And it run in cycle = phone switch on, 0% screen, phone switch off, ....
If I first turn the phone on, ROM is loaded, charging flash appears in notification area, but battery is still 0% or it flash to 1%, but drops again to 0%.
Could anyone guide me how to fix it?
It seems to be hard to find a quality replacement battery these days: "I did buy the battery about 6 months ago and just installed it today. I'm not sure if the battery was bad from the start, if it deteriorates over time without being installed in a phone or what happened. All I know is the replacement battery didn't work and the old one does." https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Motorola+Moto+G+2nd+Generation+Battery+Replacement/52246
Are you shure the battery is charging at all?

My Kaiser never had great battery life, 12 hour max.
But nowdays its just ridicilous, device turns itself off during calls. This is normal due battery failures.
But the real question that I am asking: Is it normal that battery indicator is not accurate at all? Ill give a few examples.
1) I charge the battery overnight (7 hours). When I wake up, it says 100% battery, but I notice that orange LED is not lit (not charging). I restart the phone, still 100%. I shut it down, remove battery, plug it back in, start the phone and it says 80% battery? Has the phone stopped recharging when it hit 100% the first time?
2) I'm making a call. 70% Battery. Phone shuts down. I restart it. Battery 70%. I shut it down, remove battery, plug it back, start the phone and it says 0% battery.
3) Battery 10%. I charge it to 100%. Shut down, remove battery, plug it back in, restart phone. Battery 75%. Recharge it to 100%. Shut it down, remove battery, plug it back in, restart phone. Battery 85%. Recharge it to 100%, repeat this few times and I finally get to "real" battery charge of 95%. And the phone stays on the whole day.
Seems that my phone is a BIT too optimistic about the 100%
I'm just hoping this is all about the fact that the battery is dying. Ordered a new one few days ago.
Same problems with WM 6.0 and 6.1.
I have OEM battery and it was working great for last year and half. Now a days when I put it in charging it charges the battery but my screen does not show it correct percentage it is chaged for.
If I put this battery in my wife's phone it show it is charged 100%, if I put 100% charged battery from my wife's phone in my phone it show 67%.
If I put it to charge via my phone I get led showing correctly that it is charging, even in battery status show it is charging.
Issue is it is not showing correct percentage (I think) what my be issue battery, phone , rom.....?
Old battery!!!
but same old battery works fine in wife's phone
but same old battery works fine in wife's phone.
Try cleaning the contacts on your phone.
they are as brighte as silver
they are as bright as silver but issue continue.
So this is normal?

Does a year and a half make this OEM old? My OEM Tilt battery, also 1 1/2 years old, just started giving me only about an hour of talk time from a full charge. So this is not unusual? It's annoying as h*ll, that's for sure.
I've seen the same issues between my Tilt and my wife's Tilt (actually my wife replaced her Tilt with an iPhone), so I should say between my first Tilt and my second Tilt.
The problem happens once every two months or so. I usually put the battery in the phone that shows the higher battery life and let it drain down to zero over the next few days. This has solved the problem for me so far.
If he is using a different battery in the same phone, and getting the same result, I would say its not the battery.
I'm having a similar issue, where after a full charge the phone works fine for awhile, then shuts off if i use the web browser or gps for more than a minute. After I turn it back on(and if it lets me) my battery reads only about 5%. I thought it might be the battery but even though I bought a new battery, I still have the same problems.
I've even reflashed to a new rom to try and correct the problem, but without luck.
I think maybe a year or so is about the life span for this phone. Or maybe a few escaped quality control, and we just happen to be the lucky ones.
I had a similar issue with my kaiser, then it started not charging the battery intermittently which meant id constantly wake up with a dead phone in the morning after an allnight charge.
Then it stopped charging altogether, HTC sent me a new battery which did exactly the same.
So i sent it off and it turned out to be a motherboard issue with the charging circuit.
Hope that helps
full overnight charge only charge to 70%
when i put battery for full overnight, it charge only charge to 70%. I will give it a try to drain to 0% and then see what happens. I am sure this is issue with phone and nothing to do with battery but still can not solved the problem. Can not send to HTC as warrenty already passed.
Hi
The last few days I've been using my diamond, part way through a call the phone switches off. When I try and turn it on it'll vibrate then switch off again, as it does when the battery is flat. However, if I plug the charger in and turn it on the battery is reported as anything from 40% to 90% !! Just happened a few minutes about, before the call the battery was showing as 75%, 2 minutes later the phone died and wouldn't switch on. I plugged the charger in, switched on and the battery was at 92%. Occasionally, it will switch on without charging and the battery will show as 40% !
Anyone else seen this and got an idea of the problem ? The phone is 18 months and this is the original battery. Is the battery on it's way out or is there another issue ? I've hard reset the phone a couple of times but that's made no difference.
battery's are very analogue components and there is no good digital way to measure their charge
it's don by measuring the volt lvl as the more flat a batt goes the lower the volts will go
so you can't really trust it much as a batt at the end of it's lifespan could have normal volt lvls 1 min and be flat the next
The battery is dead then ? Though so, I've bought a new one, only 20GBP
Thanks for your response.
When my battery get 28%... Automatic shutdown and i got 1%... ¿Some solution?
The battery is dead
You have to change the battery.
IMO you are better off buying a new phone. I tried replacing my Moto X battery 2 times, and both new batteries lasted only a few months before starting to randomly shut down again. The first battery was not original and lasted around 1 month before starting to randomly shut down with any battery charge whatsoever, It could shutdown with 99% or 1%. The second battery was original, came with all Motorola seals of approval, and lasted only 5 months, it started to shut down with 30% and ramped up to shut down with 50% or even 70%. I suppose that any battery you buy today was manufactured at least a couple of years ago, so most of them are reasonably aged even tough they didn't went through charge cycles, so It might explain why they tend to fail so quickly.
One advice: if you still plan on changing your battery even after reading this, do not use the Moto Turbo Charger included unless you really need fast charging, try to use a slower charger to try to preserve the battery integrity. Older battery + too much current and too much heat will lead to bigger fail rate. Also, try not to leave the phone charging overnight, trickle charge still isn't good for the battery, and it should be worse for older batteries.
Since my last battery started to fail, I'll be finally buying a new phone. Good luck.
Hello, I changed too the battery, I've successfully installed it in May. Compatible one (Losoncoer).
After only 4 months, I got some problems now. Almost the one described above.
The phone shows over 90% battery level, but it switch off. I try to switch on again and again but it can't boot.
Only if I plug-in with charger/power bank it will switch on, showing the same charge.
I tried also to uncharge the battery, keeping on in the recovery, till 3%.
I then charged the phone switched off about 8 hours.
No solution, switched on at 100%, after 10 minutes it went off.
Could you advise if you have any suggestion?
Could it be the battery? If I boot in recovery, it seems more stable...
Thanks.
Hello everyone, I've had my X4 for one and a half years now and the battery life has been nothing short of fantastic during the period.
But two days back, the battery started acting up pretty weird. I had it on charge and was using it while charging and in some time I noticed the battery percentage remained static for an unusual amount of time. So I unplugged it, and battery immediately dropped by 3 percent and drained down a few percent so fast like it had never before and then stayed at a percent (say 16%) for a long time and then drained normally afterwards.
When I plugged it in again, it charged for a little before getting stuck again (the number at which it gets stuck is random). And I've tried reboots, I've tried killing the phone and charging while it's off (same result).
I was wondering if this could be a problem with the cable or with the battery itself. But then again, the battery has remained stellar until two days ago and I'm confused if it could show its degradation in such a way. I haven't replaced the cable yet, maybe I'll have little luck with that.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.
That reminded me of something i saw on the motorola support site where I logged in and registered my x4 - top on the help:
"Battery calibration
Back to Previous Page
Battery calibration
If you are experiencing incorrect or inconsistent battery level, quick battery discharge, slow or erratic charging speeds, or sudden power off or rebooting, a battery calibration could correct the problem.
To perform a battery calibration:
Force reboot the device by holding the power button until the device reboots
(For the moto z3 hold volume down + power to force the reboot.)
Plug into supplied charger
Charge to 100% and leave on the charger for at least an additional hour after getting to 100%"
Don't know if that has anything to do with the price of eggs but hopefully it will give you ideas...
