Hey people!
I was just wondering , I got 2 Fossil Gen 5 Carlyle and my friend got 1 as well.
And all of them shuts down at around 60% when they are resting!
And you can't turn them back with the power button,
They are turning back on only if you connect to a charger.
Anyone else have this issue?
This very likely means the lithium battery is failing. Fossil does have a pretty reasonably priced battery replacement service, but it's not user-replaceable.

Hey Folks...
I had bought the Droid turbo 2.. or MOTO X Force as known in India 2 days back.
The first time I charged the Phone - Switched it off - Connected the turbocharger ( that comes along with the Device) it took me approximately 1.30 - 2 Hours to full charge it from 5% to 100% .. It did show turbo charging on the screen.
What was strange is next instance I plugged it in at 35% it took 1 hour and charged only up to 65%. This charging was done with the phone ON unlike the first charge where I had switched it OFF. It took about 2-3 hrs to full charge the device. Though it did show turbo charging when plugging in.
I felt this was strange. I again did a charge yesterday where it took 3 hrs to charge from 27% to 65% though it showed turbo charging.
In the night I switched the device off at 28% and plugged it in.. it was fully charged in probably 1-1.10 hrs max.
Am I to understand that the phone actually turbo charges only when switched off?
I have read in a couple of places that beyond 80% it charges at the normal rate. But I noticed this slow charge way before that Threshold.
Also I get a screen ontime of roughly 4.30 to 5.30 as of now.
also I noticed that last night when I went to sleep I had switched the WIFI off and Data, But I woke upto a 8% drop in the battery.
Could you guys share your thoughts and experience with the device.
This turbo charging issue is it the device or the Charger which is at fault here? I will need to replace if any of them are at fault.
Also what is the average SOT you guys get? and does your device hit temperatures of 45 deg C?
Do help out..
Thank you in Advance.
BUMP...
Mine will turbocharge regardless if it's on or off. Start with trying another charger since it's the cheaper option.
I brought my Maxx 2 to work last night to play around with it while I wait for the new screen to arrive in the mail. It was charged 100% when I got to work and I played Plants vs. Zombies Heroes on it for a couple of hours with it plugged into the charger (just a standard one, not a turbo). The battery drained down to 35% even while charging. I don't have this problem with my Razr at all. I watch movies all night long on it with it plugged in and the battery doesn't drop.
I thought about getting a turbo car charger but I am afraid it may drain my car's battery. I had problems a couple of years ago when I had my tablet plugged in with a regular charger and in about 45 minutes, it killed my car battery. I don't run my car unless it's freezing out, so it's off most of the night unless I have to patrol somewhere.
Anyone have any suggestions? Should I ask about this in the Moto X Play forum since it's the same phone and there's more activity there?
Just like the title says, I'm not sure it's the last few updates but I'm on nougat. I'm not using power saving but I wasn't before. I haven't really changed more or added any new apps that I can remember. Can anyone advise if they have encountered a similar issue and how you fixed it?

Same for me. Battery has started draining significantly faster than before. I was told to go into recovery, wipe cache, and reboot but that hasn't fixed it. Although, I don't want too, I may be pushed towards an s8 upgrade if I can't figure out why my battery sucks now.
my battery has sucked from day 1, absolutely the worst phone ever for this. Nougat helped it last a little longer, but it still takes a year and a half to charge compared to past few phones I've owned. Charging from a 2.1amp car charger doesn't move but 3% in 3 hours. My portable battery charger is the same way, can barley budge the phone charge. Yes fast charge is on.
Note 7 and iPhone 6S + both charged just fine with the same vehicles and with the same portable brick charger.
what I still don't get is why with the same hardware specs for the most part minus the screen, why the note 7 was such a drastically better phone for battery life. I thought it was nougat, but that definitely wasn't it. I'm down to 20% battery life left by noon anymore with the S7E. Note 7 wouldn't hit 20% until 10pm at night (day starts around 7-7:30am)

You might have a defective battery. The fact that it won't charge up and assuming your charger is still good, is telling.

charges perfectly fine when plugged into the power brick. Used the same cable in the car etc. to no change. Just something about those it hates.
I'm finally going to breakdown at some point and restore it and start over just to make sure. next step will be to see if sprint will replace it. I am thinking I am going to buy an S8E outright here very soon...
I bought a brand new unlocked Moto G4 Play from.Amazon Prime last week. Between purchasing it on Prime and the phone being old and OOP I got a great deal. However, I'm having a couple issues.
The first is with the battery. It charges insanely slow. Yesterday morning I had it plugged in for 3+ hours and it only charged 70%, from 15% to 85%. Also, for a battery rated at 2800mAH, it seems to drain fairly quick. Is it possible that the battery lost some of it's power while sitting around in the Amazon warehouse for so long?
My second issue is with file transfers onto my Mac. This is the third Android phone I've owned and it's the first to.cause my computer to freeze up when connecting it via USB. The charger that came with the phone is just one piece, I.e you can't disconnect the USB cable from the outlet plug. I had rummage around for a USB cable to use. It's an old cable, so I think that's what could be causing my.computer to.freeze. I'm gonna buy a new USB cable today and hopefully it fixes the problem.
Getting back to the battery, is there an app the can analyze my battery? So I can find out if it's defective or just not running at 100%? Any other suggestions on what I can do to remedy this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
As far as apps go you can check the Play Store, and go by rating to see what is best for you. I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsinib.batterymonitor
Charging with the stock charger will take hours. It's only rated at like 527 mamps (or whatever it's called), but it will never charge fast. I use a 2 amp quick charger, and from around 20% to 100% it takes just about an hour.
The drain may be because it's new, and getting settled in, so it should get better after a bit of time. Plus it does take a couple charge cycles to reach its full charging potential. I get an easy 5 1/2 to 6 hours screen on time on a full charge.
Now for using a computer I don't have experience with Macs, but I have heard issues with Android and Macs not playing well together. Maybe newer/better cable will help.
I've used 3C Battery Monitor Widget.
Like said above, the charger that comes with it is very low power, you can charge faster with a 1 - 2 amp charger and it won't hurt anything since there is built-in circuitry in the phone to control charging.
When I first got my G4 Play, I charged it up and let it sit unused for about 2 weeks only checking the battery remaining periodically and it still had ~15% left after 2 weeks on standby.
If your battery doesn't get better, you may want to exchange the phone with Amazon before your return is up.
G4 Play XT1607 Battery Drain
I'd like to revive this post real quick. @adam79 did you get your issue figured out?
I bought a phone from eBay. Ok, a bunch of them. I'm buying broken, fixing, and selling. I have hovered around G4 Plays as that is what I learned with and am slightly comfortable with. This new issue has got me stumped though.
Moto G4 Play - listing stated 'will not power on or charge'. No problem, I have extra parts. I tried to plug it in and sure 'nuff, no power. Tried another battery and she fired right up with Marshmallow already reset. I replaced the charging board and it started charging but it was hot. Hotter than normal I thought. Said that it would take 3 hours to fully charge from 71%. Whatever. She wanted the update to 7.1.1 just like the two xt1609s, the other two xt1607s, and my recent xt1601. I let it update then turned it off. Battery was dead the next morning. Plugged it up and no charging animation appeared. Another battery and it fired up. The heat is coming from the metal plate just above the battery contacts. Drains the battery no matter if it's on or off. What could it be?
