Lollipop charging bug ???

[m3lm]

After lolipop update I can't charge the phone to full, i already made a clean setup via pc companion after i resetted the phone.
My phone goes to 84% and starts blinking charging/notcharging, so finally after 10 h of charging it has only 85% of accu. Anyone had the same?

I recorded this video to show u my problem

P.S i can charge my mobile while its turned of ..
Also im sure there are no apps is consuming the battery while im charging it .


Please fix this with an update or just tell is what to do..

I got this message before ..
I just resseted my phone and charged it after factory reset without installing any apps . Plus replacing the usb cable with another one .
It worked great with me and now i dont have any problem except the "no service" message while im using the mobile data and it's fix is simply turning on the flight mode then turn it of again.
And now i dont have any other issues with my phone and it works great !!

I have the same experience.

Some more observations:

1. Switching off the phone while it is charging does allow the battery to charge more.

2. This morning I found my Z2 (off) blinking at 2Hz as said, indicating it was at 21% charge (after charging, off, the whole night). When I booted it, it showed 83%.

3. Different cable might help. Charging from the USB socket of the PC (!) with a very small cable allowed me to breach the 90% charge level.

It is certainly related to the Lollipop update, all chargers/cables were doing just fine before, and now they don't...

I think it's software problem. The phone can't correctly recognize capacity of battery.

I'm sure. i think, If i had root-access i can fix it with deleting "batterystats.bin". But i have not

One more problem, which happened everytime, when charge level gettin low - falling from 14% to 7-8% in couple minutes WITHOUT using phone (screen is off).

It's a common problem on russian forums. Proof:

Got some temporary improvement by switching off the battery percentage indicator. After that it charged smoothly when plugged in. However, problems returned last night - intermittent charging and only got to 82% after 8 hours of charging. Lollipop looks like a disaster for my Z2!!!!

Exactly same problem with magnetic charger ! 

I think it is software bug. Hopefully, it will be resolved shortly !!!

...same with my phone. At the beginning any other charging cable did not work properly. Then thre was one update and I could use almost any charging device. Now, after Lollipop phone shows malfunction as described. I did repair via Companion and reset to default. NO CHANGE!

Phone charges up to a certain point an then switches display on and off, that ledas to a higher consumption than charging!! Only help is to switch off the phone while charging.

Sony (Austria) / Support-Chat is either not aware of this bug or pretends to have no other customer complaints. They recommende to bring the phone to repair service...

I can´t imagine, that this problem has not occured while testing lollipop with the phone before release....OR maybe they did´t test before?

Until now 1. was pretty happy with my z2 and 2. thought about buying a sony tablet. 1.) Not any longer, 2.) Not any longer!

Sony, get moving!

I'll get my device replaced for this error and my unit will go to development division in Sweden, cause I was first to report and they'll try to get to where the problem takes place. Hope they'll write an update based on my Z2. But it seems much and much more it's lollipops fault not the device itself.
Leaving the Z2's to Xperia Care service is the best You can do right now, or wait for service update.
