MOTO G Bad battery life - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, kinda my first post here but I've been lurking around the community for a while.

Try this:
1. Wipe cache partition in stock recovery
2. Calibrate your battery, leave the battery to 0% and charge it to 100%, unplug the cable and plug it back for 1-2 hours

any explanation why unplugging - plugging is necessary after full charge? [emoji15]

[Q] Need help with really Bad battery issues

Recently I flashed Gingerbread on my G3 and now I have really terrible battery problems The phone goes from 100 to 0% while unplugged in less than two mins, and this is after a full nights charge which switched of.
The battery life was decent just before the flash.. used to last almost a day, Now I can't use the phone at all if its not plugged into a power outlet. Tried rolling back to Froyo, different gb roms, doing a batt wipe.. still no joy.
Can someone please help me with this please.. its very frustrating.

1) Install battery mix nd see if your battery charge full.
2) Wipe battery stats(sometimes it works)
3) Try to use kisadworx 2.4.5 or later or any other froyo ROM running fugumod 2.4

Tried wiping batt stats a number of times, hasn't worked yet. Battery should be full considering its always on charging.

Ignore that... Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache in Recovery. Preferably after you're charged to 100% and don't unplug until reboot is finished

Really twrp doesn't have "wipe battery stats"? Haven't used it in awhile. More than likely your battery is about to kick it... happened to me twice now. It wouldn't charge all the way then wouldn't charge at all. Get on Amazon and buy a new one before this one kicks it completely.

I was having a problem with battery too recently (on stock, not this rom), and say my battery would go to 0 and phone would turn off
But then I would plug into a charger and turn it on and the batter would be at like 35% (according to the indicator)

Yeah that is a good indicator you need a new battery, according to US Cellular you're supposed to change it every six months... I say every year at least.

I know it's a pain to switch recoveries, but switch to clockwork wipe your battery stats and switch back.
Or flash v5, that will wipe your battery stats too

Batterystats.bin really won't help, android wipes the stats daily when battery gets near 100%. It could be hardware related because i have a G2 that will chew through the same batteries the speedy will run on all day in about 3 hours tops, so now the g2 stays on charge constantly

He said he couldn't get it near 100%. I'm just throwing stuff out there... it's definitely a hardware issue rather than software.

I have tried that a few times, will try again. I took current battery out of phone and let charge in identical phone over night and it went to 100%. The other battery stayed at 52% just can't figure it out. I went as far as uprooting a few days ago

Boot-Loop

I'm running on CyanogenMod 10.1 , and out of nowhere, after using the phone for around 10 minutes, it loses all the signal, shuts down and starts boot looping for no reason at all, is there any way to fix this?
The only way i can get the phone to turn on is by removing the battery and letting it sit over night, or by placing it in the freezer for some minutes <.<
Maybe your battery died? How old is it? Is the problem only in this rom?

I've had the problem with a previous ROM, it is roughly one year old, and how can i check if the battery is damaged? Also, in the last couple of days it happens for no reason, even when im not touching the phone, it loses the signal and goes into boot-loop
Tell me how long your battery charge from about 10% to full?
10% to 80% charge faster than 80% to 100%?
When your battery full charge. Shutdown and remove it. Install battery again turn on. Will it drop power about 5 to 10%?

No, the battery doesn't drop back down to 10%, and it sometimes take like an hour? maybe less from 10-20% to full charge

i agree, its probably your battery. buy an anker one much better than stock. but i do feel the need to mention that putting your mobile phone in the freezer for any length is very very very dangerous and can leave your device very FUBAR

no guys
it is a htc common issue after rooting the device
no one has found a solution yet
also if you reboot the device while charging it it will jump to a higher percentage of charge

give a try with different roms and kernels to see
if the issue persists probably it is a hardware problem
Any rom you would recommend? Also, which way is the most efficient to delete the rom etc without leaving anything, I read that my problems could also be caused by a bad recovery/rom install

begin with arhd rom from mike's thread
it is the closest to the stock
before flashing the rom do:
nandroid backup from recovery just in case
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom

[Q]Battery Problem

Recently i bought a new battery for my ace plus as the old one overcharged while using usb tethering stuck at 100 for hours and then turned off my phone. After recharging it normaly the battery life was reduced greatly.
The problem with the new one is that when it completes charging after 2 hours which is normal it stays at 99% for quite a time while using it and after that it drops 1% every 2-3 minutes if im using it to browse or play games. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours gaming to turn off a fully charged battery now. The 99 stuck thing is normal ?
Calibrating and deleting battery stats didnt help.

vickyg, I've also experiencing the same issues,
I have done battery calibration several times and tried juice defender, from 5-8 hours of battery life with average usage, my battery only improved to 12-13 hour battery life,
I've figured out that, the problems wasn't with the custom ROM or stock ROM. :silly:
I've dig some research and found that it may* due certain hardware problems, not sure
(going to sent my ace plus to samsung center soon)

[Q] charging problem

Hey everyone!
I need some help
I'm on ultimate nexus rom(4.2.2)
And I'm using xtreme rejoice kernel
Yesterday i flashed bindass boost kernel for testing purposes
And the phone started to behave abnormally
(The kernel is really good and smooth, the developer has done a great job)
But in my case, i ran into a little problems
Now my phone's battery isn't charging
Or if charging then it's not showing the increase in charge
I flashed back the xtreme rejoice kernel
But the problem still persists
I've tried using different chargers
My phone is now plugged in from 1.5 hrs
And the charge is the same
But if i restart my phone the charge increases after reboot
I've tried reflashing my kernel and rom
Even a clean install
What might it be?
Is it a damaged battery?
Or a software bug i'm experiencing
And also the colour of led till yesterday was lighter
And today it's darker
Somebody help please!
Thanks in advance!
Restarted and I'm dowm to 24%
Please somebody help!

I had faced the same problem last 2months ago. Whenever I restarted my phone it will either increase or decrease.
What I had done is in that bad condition I charged whole night and the next day I flashed back the ROM properly.
Whatever battery % was left I ended up to 0 and then tried charging and it took to 100% then I calibrated it. Its working fine for me till date
Check if it helps you and if it does hit thanks

I've tried a few
and will keep trying until i find one
btw thanks everyone for your suggestions
have a great time!
Ok guys sorry to revive such an old thread
But i gave my canvas 2 to my mom
And now again some problem is there
The battery is only 5-6 months old and is in good condition.
But it's giving very low battery backup.
It takes forever to charge
But after charging it for sometime if i restart the phone the battery level rises.
So would caliberation help?
