ok, first: I'm on stock rom, december update. completely stock, not even flash twrp yet. been on this for... a week maybe. and there is a really weird thing happening: I charge my phone normally, original charger and cable and everything, but when I unplug, it goes down like... one percent per minute. like, from 100% to 80% in 20 minutes. if I'm using the phone it's even faster. it stops at 58%, and the drain is normal from this point on.
any thoughts?
no thoughts? I just cant understand. my phone is fully stock, theres no unusual app and such. keeps draining as water.

You could try to press and hold the power button until your device reboots. While it reboots, plug in your charger and let it charge at least 1h more after it has reached 100%.
I don't know if this procedure really re-callibrates your battery, got this from the "official" Moto forums. At least you can't harm your device with it.

tried this method and a curioud thing is that the phone didn't go over 93%. it stopped charging at this point
just a lil update: I just charged my phone with a non turbopower charger (I have two of those from moto) and... my phone came back to normal.
seems to be that it was charging properly with my turbopower charger, and... after trting a regular chsrger, its charging with my turbo again.
weird, isnt it?

I was going to suggest the same thing as I have been experiencing that the battery lasts much longer when charged via a regular charger rather than with turbo. Try using a regular charger for overnight charging & see if you notice an increase in battery life.
I'm a heavy user with 125+ Apps installed now down to (60-80) & use it daily for 6-8 hours straight but I noticed after about a year with my Moto G4 Plus XT1644 RETAIL US my battery life was dying literally a full (turbo-charge) only lasted 30 mins & then it was dead. I then decided to bootloader unlock my device & that improved my battery tremendously but I found that custom roms have issues with either displaying the bars correctly or are just weaker due to some proprietary software. So for two weeks I've been fixing one thing & having another issue with something else.
I'm officially back on stock nougat with December security update & soon to be twrp+magisk. It seems to be the most stable & doesn't have the software issue with the bars which was a dealbreaker for me.
Report back if you find differences in battery using a standard charger vs the official turbo one!

Has anyone experienced this issue, seems as tho when I charge my battery to 100% it takes less then 30m before it discharges to 92-92%.
This is happening with the original battery and the Seidio extended battery that I have.
Is there a fix for this, or is this something I should call VZW about. A lot of people at androidforums have been having the same issue.

Yeah, I've read this, is everyone having this issue, or just certain phones? The battery "trick" does not work for me.
i think everyone has the problem. the "trick" didnt work for me either or my friend, unless we're doing it wrong. i think its a software issue personally, and hopefully an update will fix it.

Your battery stats are miscalculated. You need a calibration procedure. Replacing the phone might fix the problem, but if your battery charging habits don't change it'll happen again, unless HTC feels like changing their battery calibration algorithm, and there's no need to wait for that. Any laptap manufacturer will have a good how-to on li-ion battery calibration.
theres no way all the phones are bad, alot of people have this issue that have this phone. i dont think its bad hardware, chances are if i get a new battery its going to do the same thing. im gonna order an extended battery anyways soon so we will see.

I am having the same issue with an extended battery. It's the way the phone is charging the battery. Is everyone just accepting this as is or is not everyone having the same issue. I want to know if I should replace the phone or not...
I completely discharged my battery last night, turned it off, and fully charged it while it was off. Now the first 10% seems a lot more resilient then before. I just hope I don't have to do this every night. I don't have a land line and it sucks having to turn it off just to charge it.
good to see this post, i to have a htc touch hd, and have problems with batteries, ive bought 2 new batteries from ebay.
and seem to get vary results, its as if mobile is showing 100% but the battery is only 40% charged.
charged one last night finished at 12pm and battery was saying it was flat at 7am !
the orginal htc does seem to last longer, but obvisily there is a issue with the phone itself, if it needs reset or something?

Replacing the phone is not necessary. It's actually the OS that cuts the charge short of full. The OS "thinks" the battery is full,thus stopping the charge. Completely drain the battery, then plug it in,leaving the phone on. Let it fully charge while it's on - when the LED indicator is green,and the battery is "full" - while still plugged in, power phone off,and you'll notice the indicator will turn red again,charging the phone for about another half hour or so. That will give you a true full charge.
Days later...and running Froyo, and still battery problems
I'm running Froyo now...battery light green and indicating 100%...and I power off the phone... It has been charging 25 minutes now and still charging. Didn't they(?) say that this had been fixed in the latest ROMs. I'm running Sky Raider's 2.01. Is it just me?
Do I need to erase my battery stats from within ClockworkMod Recovery? I haven't done this because it warns that this cannot be undone. That sounded too scary for me to try.

its a problem with the chargers. youll see if you charge with an external battery charger or a vzw car charger, the phone will charge fine. htc screwed something up with the "trickle" function in the incredible stock chargers. as soon as the LED turns green, the charger shuts off and almost siphons charge from the battery in order to prevent overcharging, which drains the battery to about 95%, but the battery will still show its at 100. ive done the battery stats clear several times and this problem persists even if i leave the phone on the charger for more than a minute after LED turns green, even when phone is turned off. at times the charger doesnt even charge the phone all the way, which is why you can charge completely, unplug, plug it back in and light is red again and takes a few more minutes to charge. both are caused by an "overcharge protection" feature built in to just about every charger these days, but gone horribly wrong in these chargers.

I can tell you it doesn't have anything to do with the chargers. I have this problem while the phone is turned on whether I plug it into my Computer, original charger, off brand car charger, usb car charger, usb cable from the lg ally, or the OEM lg ally charger. it has everything to do with HTCs software on the phone. it is using two different ways to charge the battery, one while the phone is on and in use (that uses HTCs software/algorithm), and one while the phone is turned off(uses the batteries overcharge protection circuit).
jeeeeezz
I have tried everything, I tried resetting / removing the battery stats etc. Nothing works...Its useless ppl...have to wait for a fix from HTC. Which bring my question, does anyone know when or if this is planned to be fixed?
Hey guys. I just purchased the phone and the charging on it is slow as @#@Q. WHen it does fully charge it drains fast, 10 hours with light usage. I have disabled and deleted many apps so far and no go. Right now I am hopeful that disabling google search works. Has anybody else had this issue and have any fixes? My next step is to do a full factory reset, which is no biggy since its new. But would suck to have to download everything again.

Are you using the Samsung OEM charger and cable? If not you will experience slower charging. This is due to the specifications on the adapter + phone itself detecting each other, and applying a special charge voltage.

Of course. Even if I didn't it should never take 5+ hours to charge off of usb 3.0 especially with my pc which has a feature that boosts the amperage for charging. Also a slow charge shouldn't affect its discharge rate.
I fixed the slow charge
Google Search was the problem child. I stopped it and the charging took off. I restarted the app, just because I like it, and it hasnt caused a problem since.
Now for the battery drain, it has only slightly improved. It lasted about 15 hours yesterday with very very light use. Today I let it charge an extra 12 hours and cross my fingers it has only discharged 4 percent with about 30 minutes of talk time and two hours off charger.
What roms camn I flash on the Sprint G900P? On My TMO s4 M919, I was also able to flash the international i9505
Apparently I am in the minority, but my VZW LG G2 (Stock) was affected the the slow charging battery drain issue after upgrading to Lollipop.
It's crazy just how slowly the phone would charge and drain. After the update my phone was constantly attached to a charger. It couldn't make it to mid-day even with little use. It would take hours to gain just 20-30% charge.
After months of complaining I finally "downgraded" to KitKat. The difference is amazing. I can easily make it through a full day with moderate use and I can almost fully charge the phone after about an hour. It's great.
Has anyone had this problem and figured out a cause or solution? I've always been stock, but has a custom lollipop ROM worked better? At the moment I think I'm going to wait until there's another update (hopefully) before upgrading.
I am having same problem as yours, the battery problems are on the rise with Lollipop update. Sometimes I wish I shouldnt have upgraded. But anyhow, I solved my problem by using a good charger, more details you can read on this page: http://www.techkhoji.com/slow-battery-charge-android-iphone-samsung/
Argh! After weeks of deferring the daily lollipop update request I was half asleep on morning and accidentally started the update. I couldn't stop it once it started.
My phone was just about dead when the update finished and I let it fully charge. To my surprise it charged surprisingly fast. After it was fully charged (and unplugged) the phone stayed at 100% for about 20 minutes of continuous use before it dropped to 99%. I was again surprised that the phone held a charge (no charging) all day with moderate use. In the evening it stayed at 0% for a while before it finally died. I suspect the phone was calibrating the battery during this initial use.
I thought perhaps the problem was solved, but a day later, the phone is back to charging painfully slow.
I actually measured the charging current, it's not just my imagination! I have a USB Meter and when the phone was on kikkat and for the first day on lollipop it would consistently charge between 1.5A and 1.8A. Now, it will only charge at 0.46A. I'm using the same chargers and charging cables.
What could have changed? Is there a way to reset whatever battery calibration may have occurred?
Hello,
I am using One Plus 2 for a few years already. Lately I started suffering because of battery drain and long time charging. Problem is quite serious because while charging and using phone battery % is getting down. It takes whole night to charge it to 100% and in the midday I have 20% left.
I tried to use different chargers and cables. Didn't help.
Today I changed battery to new one. Didn't help.
Wiped out unofficial rom, installed official stock one. No addtional apps installed. Didn't help.
I am charging it with charge monitor app and while on AC charging I get very unstable charging graph. I need to turn off screen and leave phone untouched to charge it.
https: //zapodaj.net/21c02b80b986a.png.html
Where else to look for a reason?
Usually LTE connection drain the battery. Try disable it and try for few hours.
I tried to charge it with airplane mode. Didn't help neither.
Hi
Did you resolve your issue? I have same situation but I think that happened after when I do update Oxygen, now charger my battery is really slow and drain battery really quick. I can just leave, not touched my OP2 for all day and the battery after 8hrs got 30%. I buy original battery and still nothing change for better.

Another problem is with a cable because original cables for OP2 can't buy anywhere right now, the company OnePlus has stopped production this cable for this device so I buy original cable Dash Charger from site oneplus.net
Three possibilities (at least):
* The charger is not working
* The cable is not working
* The battery is failing
Solutions for the first two are more obvious than the last one. Pick up a new or working used charger/cable. But the battery is a little dicier. And frankly, it is also more likely the cause for this than a bad cable or charger (esp. charger). But re the battery... No direct sales from Oneplus are available except via an official Oneplus repair job, which requires you sending your phone to them and them replacing the battery. Obnoxious, eh?!
The unofficial route? This is frowned on by many here, but not me. Buy a cheap ebay battery for the oneplus 2. Look for one that at least promises the battery's power matches the phone's specs. I bought one for $12 from an American seller (because I wanted a bit more accountability if it didn't work). They do work. They also take a while to start reporting their voltages and charges correctly, and must be charged / discharged completely a few times before things start getting accurate.
That's no official answer... just one guy's experience. Hope it helps.
Peace be upon you Brothers
For the past couple of days, I've been facing this weird charging issue with my Moto G5 Plus. When I plug the charger in - the phone says it's charging, but the battery percentage remains the same for hours. After 2-3 hours of charging this way, if I unplug the charger and replug it, within a couple of seconds the battery capacity suddenly shoots up to 100%. I have the original Motorola charger, a Nokia/Microsoft charger, and a battery pack that I've tried with same results. Any advice?

I don't have much to offer, but is it rooted? If it is, you can try a battery calibration app to try to recalibrate the battery, although I doubt that would help. It seems like it's charging fine but the system isn't registering the battery life until you unplug the phone and it forces the system to check the battery life (in case it's at 0-1% and has to shut down.)
In any case, if it's rooted, it's worth a try.

Now i am calibrating the battery in hope if it resolves charging issue. I connect the switched off phone when it shuts itself down at 0 % to the charger, it shoots upto 70 % sometimes 60, other times it shows 80 %. The number gradually decreases to 2 % during the charging. After 2 to 3 hours when i switch on the phone it shows a charged battery upto 70 to 80 %. And give me a wonderfully remarkable stand by time as i assumed that the custom ROM. It discharges normally. I cannot understand the nature of it cause i like to use my phone when it is 100 % charged and use it untill it reaches 15 %.

It seems the battery is good and, it just need the battery calibration.as it is giving a long life. But you should not fully charge the battery as lithium ion battery is capable of full charge,so you should charge it upto 80%-90%.
