My Fuze doesn't charge when connected to charger or connected to sync cable, I notice that when i connect to the charger and leave for a while the battery percentage remains the same, if i reset the phone the battery level will show a higher percentage, number would decrease but never would it increase when charger is plugged, to see the increased figure i have to reset the phone. For example, if my battery power is 1% and i plug the charger to the phone, it will remain at 1% the battery icon wont even come on, nor does the LED indicator, If i reset the phone then i would see say 20%, if i reset right away then it would show eaither a higher figer like 37% or a lower figure like 11%. I really dont whats wrong.
If we leave the battery display.
Could you confirm whether your battery is getting charged or not. I mean charger or connector is working.
How old is your battery? Could it have been over discharged?

Yes the battery is getting charge, it just doesn't show the percentage increase nor does it show the fork like icon when the charger is connected, and its doesnt sync. However The battery does get charge.

I have two batteries, one that i normally use, which is abt a year old. the other that i charge as a spare and carry with me every once in a while is abt 6 months old, and the i have tried them both,i get the same results.
So I plugged my GN in last night and stayed up late enough to see it reach 100%, but I left it charging all night. When I woke up this morning, the lock screen said Charged but my battery widget said 97%. This has happened a few times and every time I can fix it by just unplugging it and plugging it back in. Anyone know why it does this? Could it be because I get lots of emails at night and the LED running all night decreases the battery a little? Thanks!
I think it stops charging when it reaches 100%, therefore the 3% may be lost during that time. This is a good thing, because a laptop, or anything else, eventually the battery will go bad. When you unplug it, then plug it back in, it can cause that battery to go bad faster. Again, I think this is it. My phone seems to do that. I would not worry about it though.
I'm running the 12/28 CM10 nightly, and I'm having an issue with charging my battery. When the phone is on, the battery charges normally to 90%, at which point the LED changes from red to green, indicating full charge. If I leave it plugged in, the phone continues to charge to 100. However, the battery doesn't really charge past 90 because once I begin to use it the charge drops really quickly down to 90. Similarly, if I restart the phone, even if it said 100 before, when it is on again it says 90. I have had this issue with previous CM10 nightlies as well. It is a software issue, because if I turn the phone off and charge it, it charges to 100.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
This is a suggestion out of the blue but maybe try recalrubratung your battery

This is the intended bahavior. The type of battery used in phones last longest when they say between 80% and 20% of charged. So your phone will pull the maximum amount of power it can until it hits 90% then reduce power draw to a trickle charge.
The rapid drop is power is often the chip in the battery lying that it is fully charged when it is not. That is why you may see a rapid decline to 90% where your battery drain will go back to normal.
You might also see the phone telling you that it has 15% power then turning off. Upon reboot it will say it's at 0% or 1% that also is the battery trying to protect it self from damage.
This is a simplified explanation of how all phones work these days. The only difference you'll notice is how good the software is designed to lie to you about the power level. If it's good you won't notice these types of anomalies but they are still there.
Have you wiped battery stats?

Thanks for that informative answer. So I take it that means there would be no performance difference between turning my phone off, charging it, and then using it (with it saying 100%) vs leaving it on, charging it to 90% (green LED turns on) and then using it?
So I bought my z5 in November, everything has been working fine, up until recently.... first I noticed after I charged it the battery was draining rapidly. like a % every few minutes, charged it from 100% and it died on me in less than 6 hours. Now I charged it again and the battery drain issue is still present. Now it won't even charge I pluged it into the phone it vibrates the charge light goes on but then it goes off and refuses to charge... Turned the phone off tired to charge it nothing, turned it on tried to charge it nothing, plugged it into my computer it vibrates, then nothing, it won't even show up on the computer:crying:
Seems a bad usb cable?
nope tried multiple cables it refuses to charge
ok unplugged it and re plugged it, now it is charging, but I can't go 5hrs without it needed to be charged from 100% last thing I remember doing was updating apps, but still that should not affect the battery and usb cable connection still won't show up on my pc, it's taking forever to charge and it's on quick charge
Factory reset
same problem even after the factory reset

I tried other cables and it refuses to recognize on the PC, also the battery cannot last overnight it drains from 100% to 0% in less then 6 hours, might as well RMA this crap or wait till marshmallow see if any thing changes, if MM doesn't drop by next monday I'm a RMA this sony crap
Charging the Z5 with a PC will charge slowly even with quick charge set on on pc..
But here's the interesting part that I have noticed. When you plug the device in to the usb on the pc and set the phone to charge only mode.. It charges damn slow. And I mean slow. But. If you plug the device in to the pc and set the device to MTP mode and just leave it to charge. The device actually charges a bit quicker.. I find it weird. But since usb output is 2Amps 5Volts, I use a 2.1Amp usb charging DC adapter and a thick usb cable and my device charges fast as he'll. 1% to 100% in 45 minutes to an hour.. But once a week I give my device a full charge (charge completely while device is switched off -usually when Im going to go to sleep I leave it over night).. Charging a phone when it's on only gives it a quick charge, hence why when you turn off the device even when battery shows 100% while it is on. The device only roughly shows around 70% - 80% charged, depending on device maybe even 90-95%.. So u can fast charge it, then turn it off and charge the remaining amount of battery while it's off.. Don't charge past 70% while you're using the phone. Or it Will get hot which can decrease battery life..
Hopefully this information was useful to some of you..
Have a great day guys

Not charging any more
My Z5 does not charge any more. I tried different chargers and cables, that worked until yesterday, but now it´s not charging.
When I plug in the cable in the empty phone, the red LED on top goes on for a short time, the Sony logo appears, than the big battery symbol. But then it won´t charge. Any ideas?
I think i can remember getting yesterday an update from Sony. But I don´t what it was. I had just the Symbol for System/What´s new update in the icon bar on top.

I downloaded the Sony Companion Software reflashed the firmware with that (connection and update worked) but charging is still not possible.
Doesn't make sense.. That sounds so odd. It probably is charging, but just not showing it??
Quite bizarre lol. Have you let the phone die completely, then recharge it and start it back up, after around 10% charge??
Another alternative, use a third party app to calibrate the battery (if youre able to boot in to the os that is).
Removing the battery is another method (requires opening the device)
Last method I can think of but im not sure if it will do anything is to hold down the power & vol + & vol - keys altogether until device vibrates 3 times (while plugged in to a charger) keep holding all 3 keys until the phone vibrates (power cycles) 2 more times (3 vibrates followed by another 3 fast vibrates)..
So like.. While holding all keys, phone will vibrate once.. Then it will vibrate 3 times(rapidly).. Keep holding all keys.. It'll vibrate another 3 times (rapidly).continue holding all keys for 1 more cycle of 3 rapid vibrates, then only let go of the vol down key, but keep holding vol up and power key for another 10 seconds (or until you feel 2 more power cycles of 3 rapid vibrations (6 in total). Then leave device off. Observe the charging icon see if it charges..
Good luck

Same happened to me, I have tried more than 5 different cables, which charge other devices no problem, I connect my phone it shows the red light indicating its charging, shortly after it goes off, the battery sign when the device is off only shows the battery sign, and doesnt move, last night i plugged it at 5% and left it charging all night, next morning it was still 5%, the second i unplug it it will show me the low battery indicator, however when i plug it, it dissapears but it doesnt show the charge sign indicating its charging, whats weird the battery wont drain neither charge. help anybody!
fyi its not the cable!

i have all the above problems too someone please help us!
A little Help for you guys
I have had same problem exactly, phone seemed dead after getting same charging problems, do hard reset (lock button + Vol up button) for about 20 secs i think, i got a blue light now, nothing else but better than nothing. will update if i get any progress.
---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------
pressed the manual off button next to sim card with skewer, now i get a rotation of the sony screen, needs charge screen with battery and lightning and sometimes get a red light in the top right.
For anyone experiencing these issues, please clean the usb port with a needle. I was having the same problems and noticed there was a lot of dust and fibers in there from my pockets. The micro-usb also stays in a lot better!
I held down my power button, volume buttons and let it vibrate three times. It worked! Apparently it had been charging just something was off with it.
This may help others,
My neighbor's sony turned off on 1%, and does not want to charge, it gets warm, and when I plug the charger, the led turns red, then green and then it turns off with no signs of charging.
I tried the Power+ Vol Up trick but it did not work,
what worked for me is the following:
plug the charge cable, and as soon as the led turns red, plug and unplug the cable rapidly untill the screen turns on, then keep it plugged, this should trigger the phone to continue charging.
PS, try to avoid letting the battery reach 1%, sometimes the battery depletes without the backup needed to trigger the charging state, and on some phones like the htc sometimes causes the onboard storage to break, which will cost you a new motherboard!
Battery stops charging before it reaches 100%. Every charge so far this has happened, which is more than annoying! Tried different chargers and cables too, no difference.
Anyone else having this problem?
First I've heard of this. You sure you don't have something draining so much that the charge can't keep up?

Nope. Battery life is excellent when charged. It just stops randomly, if I unplug the cable and plug back in it starts again. I've cleared the dalvik, see if that helps tonight when I put on charge.
