Battery drain [help] - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a moto g and it arrived on Thursday. I set up all configurations and, normally, battery over. I charge during the night and everything OK.
Yesterday I played a little and battery stay on 88%, and I turn off the phone. But the phone is for my girlfriend and I only give it today.
Everything right, she played and battery goes to 60%, few hours (1h or 2h) battery gone, and phone shutdown. I turn on again and only have 1%, but this 1% lasted more than 1h and she played games and have wifi on.
I think it's not normal. What you think?
Thanks, and sorry for my English.

Try factory reset your device

Seems like some Gs are getting out of the factory with wacky battery calibration issues.
Charge it to 100%, do a factory reset, run it dry, charge again and use it normally through a few charge cycles. If the issue persists, contact Moto.

it seems to happen only once for a device

Weird battery glitch.

So, got this weird glitch. I'll have say 30% of my battery left and I'll power cycle and suddenly I'll have something like 4% left. And power cycling doesn't help or anything. And plugging it in just charges it from that 4%. Anybody got anything?

Just thought about this. I should probably let you know I'm on the latest official stock.

Im runnings the official Roger's GB ROM on my Infuse ATM and I've had similar issues. Mine goes a bit deeper though.
When I first got the phone, it wouldn't charge to 100%, whether it be on or off. When the phone finally charged to 100%, the second you unplug it, the battery widget I had and the built in battery meter on the phone said it was at 80%.
While using the battery, it would drain, sometimes suddenly dropping from 40% to 10%. The only way to get the phone to charge to 100% while its off is to charge it for about 8 hours or overnight. Even then, upon bootup, the phone read anywhere between 80%-85%
This is the OEM battery. Im going to try my luck with a battery off eBay that claims to be "OEM", but so far charging for 7 hours straight with the phone off, it wasn't able to reach 100%.
So im hoping it's not the phone itself. Ive charged the phone with various charges, usb cords, and used juice plotter to keep track of things. Definitely something fishy going on because my graphs always show a sudden jump from 85% to 100% in a span of less than a minute =\

I don't think it's b/c of the rom your on, happened to me when my phone was stock. I tried to let it die, but once it hit zero percent, it just kept going till the "true" battery percent was drained. Im on S7 now and it still happens occasionally..

Overcharging the battery?

Is it possible to overcharge the battery? I ask because when I first got the phone and fully charged it, it would stay on 100% for at least a couple hours (using circle battery widget which reads in increments of 1%) but one night I fell asleep with it plugged into the charger and when I got up it still read 100% but as soon as I unplugged it it went immediately to 99%. I have not yet been able to get it to read 100% unless its connected to the charger. Think I could get the batt replaced under warranty since its only 2-3 weeks old?

Your battery is fine, it is set up so that it will not overcharge. I tried searching for an article that explained how the system is set up but couldnt find it.

I'll look in to that. But what about the battery immediately dropping to 99% when I take it off the charger?
sent from my Motorola Atrix 2 via Tapatalk
Every android phone I've had has dropped like that as soon as I've taken it off charge, nothing to really worry about.
They do a think called power cycling. It will charge it to 100% then shut off then once it goes back down it will charge it to 100% again. Ill try to find the article. Your battery is fine.

Weird. My SE Xperia X10 didn't do that, it would stay at 100% for at least an hour. I recalibrated my battery a couple days ago, thinking it would remedy this "problem" and after it died on me I charged it back to 100% and took it off the charger at 10pm, set my alarm on it and let it sit overnight. After pressing snooze on my phone 3 times and finally getting up at 630am it still was at 100%! So it's strange to me that this drops to 99% immediately but if it's happening to everyone else I won't worry too much.

Well if I were to judge off that, mine stays at 100% for hours......im going on 7hrs right now. But I use battery circle widget which reads in 1% increments......as soon as my phone comes off the charger it goes straight to 99%......it didnt do that before.

Battery Charging & calibration query
What difference does it make if you charge from empty to 100% in switched off stage and the same in on state? Which is better? How should we calibrate the battery and how often using which app for unrooted MB865 Asia retail? Also if phone dies (switches off) constantly due to insufficient charge does it harm the battery in terms of cells getting destroyed gradually & finally does switching off or switching on the phone while charging have any effect issue on phone or the battery?? Thanks in advance for inputs for all queries.

Battery draining while screen is off

Hello Xda community!
I'm not sure why, but recently my phone seems to be draining battery life quite quickly over night.
The really weird thing is this time, my phone was on the charger.
I put my phone on the charger before I went to bed last night, and the battery was at 65%.
When I got up the next morning, my phone was off for some reason, and I find that I only have 3% battery left.
Not sure if my battery is lying to me, but I have been running off the supposed "3%" battery life for a good 30 minutes now.
Either my battery is glitched or something else.
Any feedback is appreciated.

have you rebooted or done a battery pull yet?

First, use zeppelinrox's Die Hard Battery Calibrator, and then after you finish the steps it gives you an option to view what is taking up battery life, uninstall any apps that cause wake locks. Also, you're going to want to freeze the default android gallery and get a 3rd party Gallery (I recommend quickpic.) As the 3D gallery can cause huge battery drain.

(Q) Zerolemon battery not fully charging?

Hey guys, just got my lemon 2 days ago and its going great. I got about a 2 days on the first charge. I plugged it in at 2% like the instructions say and it started charging. I woke up this morning and it said it is fully charged and I took it off and as soon as I did, it went to 59% and has been draining really fast. Within 30 min its down to 52. What's going on?

That's happened to me on stock battery before, I think it might still be charging it when it isn't actually 100% like the phone indicated. I just plug it back to be sure. Let it get to 100%. My zero lemon never did that but it sounds like something common

Follow what Joshua said. Be sure it's the factory cable and charger, remember a few people saying it may be their cable. Of course they had a few to test.

You can also try an external charger. Charge it out side the phone. Idk if you can calibrate it but that might be worth a shot.

What are you complaining? Phone sips battery on idle and uses a little more on reboot?
