Some Moto G users have faced this issue of Sudden battery drop from 90% to 0% or 70% to 0% or similar
The problem is faced when phone is connected to pc and somehow a condition is changed.
Drop sometimes is just by connecting, sometimes by turning MTP off, Sometimes Turning USB Debugging off
I called up Motorolla for a Solution and they replied to tell me to do a factory reset. I didn't believe them but tried anyway and viola, it worked!
Performing a factory Reset (in some cases) solves the problem of sudden battery drop to 0%
Note: This is not a permanent solution, There is a chance for problem to come back, but also there is a chance that your phone will not face the problem!
It's been a month after reset, I haven't seen the problem again!
Hope it helps you too!
Share your Experience too! Weather it worked for you or not!
Where you using Android run time or dalvik?

Actually I only experienced it once, weeks before upgrading to kitkat and factory reseted a few times since then. Never happeed again although I suspected it was because I avoid plugging it on usb.
I know right?

Motorola have already said this is a serious issue; a reset will not solve it. They are releasing a patch asap.

Factory reset won't solve the problem... Battery drop happened for me twice..one before factory reset and after factory reset too..

Don't suggest anything if you don't know.. Factory reset won't solve this problem and this issue is not related to any software... I am seeing you suggesting factory reset in some other thread also.. Keep quiet if you don't know..

This happenned to me yesterday. 70% -> pluged it into a computer -> 0%
I connected it to a wall charger and waited until it charged to 100%. No big deal, problem solved.
I don't really class this as a solution. Having to reset your phone as a pain. Lol.

I am not saying you are wrong, I am saying you shouldn't ask somebody to keep quite... because you think it is wrong!
I realise the point that factory reset is not a permanent solution and the de-calibration of the sensor can occur even after reseting the phone. I'll change the title to possible solution.
But to also quote KirkStormberg from https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7a7b068df1?commentId=774000#774000

I tried give the solution.It is the last way when the other solutions couldn't.But first try to charge the device untill 100%.The battery suddenly drop maybe caused of unperfectly charging/unplugged when the battery under 100%.The next check the USB debugging.Make sure it on.I think All device(my experienced) sometimes have the same problem like this.

So both my Girlfriend and I have the vibrant, mine is rooted, hers isn't. Mainly having problems with her phone. Sometimes it will vibrate, but not ring. Ring and not answer (can't do anything on the screen). Get stuck vibrating and showing an incoming call but can't do anything and have to restart. Sometimes people say she sounds like a robot or like she is talking from across the room, in a cave or under water. I haven't had these problems with mine but once I was told I sound electronic. She had called support and they said to take out the battery for a but and if that didn't fix it to do a factory reset. I have already done that once on my phone so I could have all my calendars load, and not looking forward to doing it again. Anyone have any thoughts or have heard about problems such as these?

Honestly, if a factory reset doesn't solve your problem on a non rooted phone, then I suggest getting an exchange at the t mobile store. The problems you're encountering does not seem normal.

Hi all,
So I flashed the superwipe script made my "Awesome" and in the OP it said it wipes external so I assumed all was okay. well it wiped the internal entirely so now my nexus 7 is bricked. I can't even turn the ****ing thing off without runing the battery to dead.
What can I do now to get it back to at least stock ?
Nevermind..
I fixed everything by following this guide

Which is the crux of the problem-throwing around terms without knowing what they mean. It's like someone with a cough assuming it's mesothelioma when it's really just the common cold.

I think that people tend to go into panic mode when something untoward happens... and the word BRICK in bright red letters flashes on and off in their mind, without really understanding the difference between hardbrick and softbrick.
People...
...if you see the word 'Google' upon boot - and nothing after (or maybe just the ROM boot-animation)... you're bootloader is still good and you're likely just softbricked/bootlooped or otherwise wedged.
If you DON'T see the word 'Google' upon boot... now is the time to start worrying - but don't panic, as that impairs judgement and clarity of thought.... both of which are needed in order to fix whatever ails your device.
Rgrds,

I've thought I had a device bricked before, then realised it wasn't.
Doesn't mean I don't know what bricked is??
All I'm saying is, lay off a little bit. XDA is a community.

So, do you think it is from battery issue or apps that make it die quick.
Because after one factory reset, it dose shut off as well.
Any advise please

As you you already done factory reset it could be the battery has had it
Looking at the battery graph, it looks like this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409274

So I've been lurking here since I got my Nexus 4 (over two years ago) to find answers to my problems and usually I've been able to find an answer.
Now, I think my trusty Nexus 4 has finally given up the ghost. I powered it off Thursday night and when I went to power it on Friday morning, I got nothing. It had over 50% battery when I turned it off, so I don't think it's the battery. I've tried to boot it just about every way I can find, but nothing. It's been plugged in most of the weekend and still nothing.
So I'm thinking it's time to start looking for a new phone , what do you all think? If anyone thinks they've got a way to get it to boot up, just let me know, I'll give it a shot.
Thanks!
It sounds like it died. I don't have any suggestions on how to get it running if it doesn't even turn on.

Does your PC detect it at all? Also have you looked in the Nexus 4 General section as there are a few threads about unbricking your Nexus (if that is, your Nexus is bricked and not dead), I'll try and find a few links for you now.

No, if I plug it in to the PC it doesn't see it all.
I read through http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/tutorial-how-to-unbrick-n4-t2347060
but I don't think it will work because I can't get it to boot into any mode I've tried.
If you're running Windows 7 go into Start->Control Panel(view by large icon for ease of use)->Device Manager and go to Action and scan for hardware changes with the Nexus connected just to be certain that it's just not being detected properly in its current state.
Also there was another guy with a very similar problem that managed to fix his (does require dismantling the phone, but it's not too complicated)

Thanks for all the help, I saw another similar thread about the battery, but since it was about 50% when I shut it down on Friday night, I didn't think about doing it. I guess it will be the last shot. I have one more day left of time off from my knee surgery, so I might give it a go tomorrow and see what happens. I'll let you know how it goes.

OMG!! I just got done doing the battery thing and it worked!! The odd thing though is that the battery was no where near dead. I only charged using that method for about 10 minutes and then it restarted the phone with 30% battery. I have no clue what the problem was . . . but I think I might take this scare and upgrade . . . maybe, lol.

If anything I'd say put a new battery in there (£17~) and you'd have peace of mind in the fact that it will be unlikely to happen again any time soon, plus you'd save anywhere upward of £150 on buying an upgrade!

The other day it ran for about 48 hours without freezing but I have no idea what I did or didnt do that caused it any help would be much appreciated.

Since you tried all software fixes you could think of, problem's in hardware. Try another battery and see then. If even then it reboots it's something far more important than the battery and you're screwed :| (have to give it to repair shop).

I had the same problem and fixed it by changing to a new battery. It seems that the older battery doesn't hold enough peak charge whenever the CPU tried to stay at 100%.
already tried changing batteries that did not work for me.
Time for the repair shop route.. Or if it cost to much to fix, you can find a good used or new for cheap on ebay or swappa.
