Hello, So tomorrow i'll be getting my Sony Xperia Z3 i'm hoping (If it arrives):fingers-crossed:
But what shall i do when i first get it?
Do i let the device discharge and use it normally until it dies, and then charge it back to 100%?
Or charge it fully?

Read the manual while you're waiting. I did, and discovered it said to charge for 30 mins before turning it on for the first time. You can then use it while it's charging. I fully charged it first; no point taking chances when you can't take the battery out easily.

hi guys
I have always been wondering what to do with the battery after purchasing a phone. normally its about 50% charged and im not sure if i should let it drain normally or just charge it up straight after i get the phone out or something?
i know that with the old batteries u supposed to charge the 1st time about 12h but dont think its a way to go in the later batteries?

Same applies mate, its always best to charge battery fully before first use to get full potential of battery

fair enough, thanks mate for a quick reply
for lion battery u have to discharge fully for 2 to 3 times initially to get max.. performance
My battery just started acting a little odd. I just went to calibrate it and let it drain until it died. As soon as it died I put it on the charger and turned the phone on about 1 minute later. It went from 0% to 22% in a matter of 2 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
May have a rapid charge feature? I know some older sony ericsson phones charge really fast to a certain point, then they slow to normal.

Yea, I am still on the same charge when I made this post and it did slow down to a normal pace after about 30%. It's sitting at 97% right now.
So guys i just bought this phone few days ago, and the first charge was only untill 96% and then i unplugged it, because its take too long... is this can cause some problem to my battery? or is it still safe??
pardon mee for my bad english, not my native language..

Did you use the original charger and cable? Of you don't use those you'll experience slow charging. Charging only to 96% won't have any bad effects on your battery.

so youre saying that my battery is still normal?
and btw yeah i use the original cable and charger, now i can charged to 100% after i let my phone die (0%) and then charge it uninterrupted overnight (like about 6hours)
thank you for the answer!

Yes the battery should be perfectly ok. Sometimes the calibration can be a bit off but you've charged to 100% now it's all good.
I don't think charging your phone to 96% or whatever will cause any damage to your battery and why would it?

What he was saying was that it wouldn't charge past 96%.

hey i have another question, this thing have been in my head for a while now i just wanted to make it clear for me
for example i have 80% of battery then charged it untill 85% and then unplugged it and use it for a while until drop to lets say 80% again, and then charged it again to 85%
is that also safe to do?
i just did that when unlocking bootloader and installing twrp recovery, seems like my battery been draining pretty fast after that..
sorry if this noob question annoy you, i just want to make it clear

That's perfectly fine with a lithium battery. Small top-up changes are actually preferred. It isn't recommended you let the phone fully discharge very often, it also isn't recommended to keep it at peak voltage (100%) for very long (try not to charge overnight). A lithium battery is at its healthiest within the 40%-80% range. So yeah, top-up charges are perfectly fine. About every 30-40 charge cycles (roughly once a month is fine) you should do a calibration by discharging almost fully (from 100%), then charging back to 100%.

Then return it for a replacement, if the Bootloader isn't unlocked(voids warranty) it's a new device so at least should be replaced or repaired.
Sent from my Xperia XA using XDA Labs
Dont unplug the charge...keep it on for 15-30 mins...got the same issue.
i dont think its normal ....

Got the same, if phone shutdown by itself on low battery, I have to wait 15 mins with charger plugged. To power on, the phone need a minimal charge to protect battery.

Did you leave it with the charger plugged in for a while?

No
This is the worst phone I've ever owned, ever!! It caused me so much trouble and headaches with that battery drainage issue (even when it was charging FFS!!!). As well as followed by a permanent shut down afterwards which made me smash it into parts and chuck that junk straight into the trash can.
Hey, I had the same problem with a Wiko after 2 weeks, after sending to warranty 3 times without fixing it, they gave me credit to buy another phone at the store. I got the Xperia XA and after almost two happy years, the same problem appeared. If you get your phone to boot try install an app to measure the charging current. (I installed Ampere). I noticed in mine that the current was sometimes less than 50mAh and other more than 1500mAh depending on the cable position. It still says it's charging but it's actually draining battery because it's consuming more than what the charger is providing. After investigating people suggesting re-soldering the usb port, but since I'm bad with it I just replaced it with one bought online and now it works just fine. Super cheap and easy to do. If it's still on warranty just send it back and hope they are more competent than the ones I went to.
Hello, I would like to know if there are some "rules" considering charging my phone ? For example, do I need to wait until my phone shuts down or doesn't it matter when I charge it.
main thing is dont play games when charging, everything else is fine. it charges faster with phone off than on
1- don't use it while charging.
2- don't let the battery completely drain (charge when it reaches 15%)
3- try to avoid charging overnight
Avoid using it while charging if you can. Don't drain the battery completely before charging, try to leave at least 10-15% battery before you charge it. Don't charge it overnight as the Honor 8 has fast charging capabilities. If need charged it in the morning, before you get ready for the day.
I don't agree that it is harmful to charge a phone overnight. Once a smartphone is fully charged it has a built in mechanism that stops the charging thus preventing the phone from overcharging.

That's true. However, there shouldn't be any danger of damaging the phone if you do charge it overnight. Either way you decide to charge it should be OK.
Oh okay, one more question; do I always have to charge it to 100% or is it okay to remove the charger at (for example) 58%?
Look if your going to charge the phone do it to 100% But if you need to go out before it's fully charged its not going to do anything to the phone.. Just walk with your charger and charge it when your able to..

For modern batteries, it does no harm to unplug your device before 100%.
Actually it is "healthiest" for batteries to be kept between 80%-20%

While that is true. But there is always a chance that the Lithium Ion battery could become unstable after its been used for a while.
