Battery Issue Regarding Charging - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

My Device Is charging faster than dash charge in 5 min it charges from 20% to 80% but when i restart it is showing 30% .......tried restarting many times but facing this issue again and again. Is there any solution.

Sounds like a bad battery... Still under warranty? Might be time for a replacement... but I don't recall any discussion of people replacing the battery in this device yet, not sure how bad it would be.

Strange battery issue please help.

My Note 4 is a Verizon version.
When the battery reaches 12% or thereabout the phone shuts off with a low battery warning.
When I hook up a charger it says the battery is at 37%
So what is the problem?
Bad battery?
I've got the same issue with a factory refurbished Note 4, would be interested to hear why this happens.
Well, this happened to me, too. I finally got a new battery and it didn't happen to me anymore.
Constantly charging, and not allowing the battery to fully discharge did this to me.
Going through two full charge / discharge cycles fixed this. So I'm thinking it was just a calibration issue.
I had the same problem. And I intentionally depleted the battery to less than 5% probably 95% of the time so I don't believe not allowing the battery to deplete enough could've been the issue, for me at least. I'm rooted so I tried different ROMs, calibration procedures and apps, charging and depleting the battery differently ie. draining to different levels, etc. Nothing worked and over time it just got worse and started shutting down at higher percentages. After reading many reports of this problem with the Note 4, I decided it must be a problem with the stock battery. I bought a 2 pack of Anker batteries, same capacity as stock battery, and I haven't had the problem once. It was back in October that I replaced the battery.

Many phone batteries are only rated for 600 charges. 1000 on a good one. Assume all have a limited life regardless of your charging/discharging method.

One Plus 2 battery drain

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.

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.

Hi
Have you tried to change the charging cable. I had the same issue and changed the charging cable. It worked for me.

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.

Op5 won't charge past 70%

The past couple months I have had some charging issues with my phone. The first few times it just didn't want to recognize the charger or would only slow charge. A couple times cleaning the port helped. Then it seemed like the cord might be the problem so I ordered a new OEM one. The problem has gotten worse and happens the same with the brand new charger.
The last few days it will fast charge to 70% and then stop charging altogether. I can't get it to take any more than 70%. I had the accubattery app which had a feature to stop the charging at a preset value to prevent wear of the battery. I only used this for a little bit and turned it off. Then I uninstalled the app in case a glitch was causing it to keep stopping the charge.
I have a new OEM battery ready to install if the battery is indeed faulty but even starting at 70% I can't kill the phone in a day so I'm not rushing to replace the battery yet. I'm just not sure that is the problem.
The phone is not rooted and is completely stock. It hasn't been wiped or anything since I bought it new over a year ago. Anyone have any ideas?

Update: I powered off the phone when it was refusing to charge at all and it was down to 56 percent. While powered off it charged all the way up to 100% no problem and since doing that it will charge without problems. Seems like this fixed it.
Update: the problem is still there. Still not charging above 70% while turned on. Not sure if the battery is failing or if it's a software issue.
Does anyone know of any other forums people might be discussing issues with the OnePlus 5? This forum is looking quiet these days and/or people aren't having a lot of hardware issues with this phone (hopefully).

The op5 forum isn't quiet. If nobody has an idea or any possible solution for you, you won't receive an answer. Seems you're the only one who has this sort of problem.
If you have warranty, just claim it. That's the easier way. Cause when it's the logic board or parts of it, it can be expensive.
It's already over a year old so no more warranty. I'm just going to try replacing the battery when I get a chance. If that doesn't work I'll try a new charging port (already tried a new charger).

Have you tried using the Ampere app? It does not make any magic, but it can give you and idea of what the problem may be.

Yes I installed it the other day and discovered when I was plugged in above 70% it was actually charging but very slowly. But this isn't always the case because when I first discovered the problem I kept waking up with a phone at 70% that had been plugged in all night.
I'm not sure how long ago this started because I typically try to charge it in the morning after my alarm goes off since dash charging is so fast. Eventually I noticed it never getting above 70% so I plugged it in overnight and still didn't get over 70%.
Accubattery says my battery is now 82% healthy. Despite not being able to charge above 70 I can still get a heavy days usage or a couple easy days. So maybe the lost health in my battery came completely off the top of the displayed percentage of my battery?
Occasionally it seemed like my phone wouldn't charge at all no matter what the percentage so the problem could be worse, but I may also be dealing with a worn out 1 year old charger cable and a new one I got a month ago that is defective because when I couldn't charge at all with the new one the old one charged fine. So I'm still trying to figure this out.

i am facing the same issue, i keep plugging the charger in and out till it works ... don't know why
Now that I've gone back to the original charger it seems to be making it to 100% every time and no longer seems to stop at 70 but if I move the phone a little while plugged in it sometimes stops dash charging and starts slow charging. Before when I heard it stop charging and start charging again randomly while I was in bed (it makes that little sound when dash charging starts) it was sitting on the floor unmoved.
So I think my possibilities are 1) 2 bad chargers
2) 1 bad charger and a bad charging port
3) bad charging port
4) bad battery + 1 or more bad chargers.
Or any other combinations of those problems. I think I'm dealing with 2 issues and that's why I can't figure it out.

Is this the end of my battery?

I've got an issue with my battery where phone shuts down every time at 30% and won't charge above 80% unless I disconnect and reconnect charger then charges rapidly to 100%
I've heard LiPo batteries are easily damaged and have a short life span. In my case it has came to 0% numerous times. I tried calibrating it and still nothing
Here is some info on the battery.
Are those mA measurement's okay or bad?
These measurements are totally normal
It's probably your rom mate

Sounds like you need to return it under warranty.
Well I tried many different ROMs and stock firmwares still no luck. I've called service center and they will fix it. I think Li-Ion batteries are far better then Li-Poly
Had that issues on my previous device, Galaxy S4. Shutdowns at ~20% battery, terrible sot. My battery went bad so i replaced it with new battery and that solved it.
Consider replacing battery if flashing stock firmware does not help.
Batteries can last long if you take care of it. I guess you tortured it by draining it all the way to 0% or using the phone while its connected on charger, you should NEVER do that! 20% in my opinion is minimum before you should charge it to prolong battery life. Also if you really want very long battery life, do not charge it above 90%.

Thank you, I will be sending phone to service center. I really was using it while it was charging and it went to 0% million times.
This is what you guys get with a bad battery

How long have you had the phone? I doubt li-poly batteries is alot worse than li-ion since both are very similar.

Bad Charging

Hi,
I own a Galaxy Not 10.1 2014 Wifi (SM-P600) currently running RessurectionRemix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-resurrection-remix-n-sm-p600-wifi-t3606313)
Last year I replaced my battery with a new Samsung Original battery. But now i cant get the battery to charge to 100%. It always stops at ~45%.
If i check the charge current with the app Ampere it says maximum 450mA. It makes no difference which charger or cable I use.
Because of the loose fit of the MicroUSB connector I also replaced the connector unit.
Ampere also says that the battery is in good condition.
I also measured the battery voltage using a multimeter directly on the terminals of the two cells. Both cells had around 4.2V when the tablet stopped charging and showed a batterylevel of ~45%.
Is there anything I can do to get 100% and a higher charge current. Because now even if I plug the tablet into the charger the battery keeps draining while using it.

This is probably not what you're going to want to hear, but I faced the exact same issue and decided to power cycle the battery (drain it fully, charge it up to 100%). I got to the drain fully part and then it wouldn't charge anymore. I had tried the same thing as you with multiple cords and tried charging from a couple of different power banks as well.
My advice if you love your device like I do...buy another battery and keep it plugged in until you can swap it out with a new one. Once it hit 1% it was gone for good. This happens to me every 1-2 years...I've changed the battery in mine 3 times. Personally I think it's the OEM replacement batteries that are garbage. Next time I'm going to buy the newpower99 one and see if it lasts longer.
TLDR: keep it plugged in, buy a new battery, replace ASAP.
If you do get it working though I would love to hear your solution in case it happens again!
Well I did find a "solution".
It seems that the power management is quite bad on the Samsung devices, which means it has to be reseted from time to time. I could fix it partially by disconnecting the battery for ~10 Minutes and reconnecting it.
Now I got 75-80% charge and a reasonably charge current. But now the low voltage detection seems to be a bit off. At ~25% the screens stars flickering and it turns off after a short time.
I found this hint in the comments of a YouTube video about replacing the battery or charging connector.

I will definitely try that out thank you! Mine does that at around 10% and there are times the battery will say it's at 30% then drop to <5% in a few minutes. I just leave it on the charger over night now which I know isn't the best for battery life but at least it keeps it on when I use it
cheers
Battery management is voltage based. The Android Coulometer mainly has to filter short voltage drops caused by high cpu load.
If the Coulometer begins to show sudden changes in capacity and causes premature shutdowns, you can flash the coulometer firmware, if you're running stock rom. Reinstalling stock rom in Download Mode should also help.
There are only few sources on the net dealing with this coulometer thing and only for certain devices.
But if you do nothing, the capacity jumps will fade away with time. It took months on an old tablet of mine, but the period of time may depend on the time since the last full factory reset or system recovery. And my (and your) Note are older today than this tablet back then...
Then there's always real cable and battery isdues.
