M5 takes ages to fully charge

Ljooba — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 16:10:50 GMT

I have bought a new m5 last week. So far no problems. Last night it took 9 hours of charging from 30% to 95% . Anyone have a the same problem ? I have used original charger.

Hi @Ljooba, welcome to our forum!

I'm sorry to hear that.

Normal charging time for an Xperia M5 is 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Are you charging your phone using a wall socket or a USB port? If you are using a USB port, try charging it using a wall socket.

Does it take this long time to charge your phone from 0% to 100% when it's powered off as well? If it does, do you have a friend, colleague or family member that also have an Xperia device? If you do, could you ask them kindly if you can borrow their charger?

Let me know how it goes and I wish you a Merry Christmas!

Hello again!

I'm sorry for the late reply, I have been out of office due to vacation.

It won't be the battery care feature that is causing you troubles since Xperia M5 does not have this feature.

Have you had the chance to try with another charger or when the phone is turned off? If so, was there any difference in the amount of time it took for the phone to charge to full?

Let me know how it went!

@Jonas. Yes I did. Charging time was normal. So maybe its the charger. But since my first post , I had no problemas with charging it with original charger... But whatever charger im using , battery drains fast . Im not playing any games. Only social networking . Really easy use. And the device gets heated a lot. So.. any update soon with some better battery life?

Hi!

Is it draining battery while charging or when you are using the phone without charging it?

If it's draining battery while the device is in use and not charging, could you please charge the phone to 100% and use it as normal down to 5-10%, when the battery is a low % go into Settings > Battery > Show battery usage and take a few screenshots of this menu?

I would also appreciate if you could press on "Screen" and take a screenshot of that as well.

To take a screenshot, press and hold the ON/OFF button > tap on "Take screenshot" and upload them here or in a private message to me!

Hi @Area13, welcome to our community!

I can see that your post got merged into this thread and I have previously posted some information on the estimated time for a full charge of an Xperia M5.

Please have a look at my previous replies in this thread and get back to me if anything is unclear!
