Battery problem (stuck at 81%)

[alexsg]

Hello,

My one year old Xperia S started having battery issues. It takes more time for the battery to recharge and it recharges to only 81%. Whatever I do, I can't charge it past 81%, even after a whole night. I highly doubt it, but can it be a software issue? Has anyone else here encountered this issue so far or I should straightly go to service?

Thank you,

alexsg

Force restart the phone(power button+vol up until the phone vibrates one time).Connect the phone to a wall charger after turning on.

It seems like the force restart solved it. If I encounter this again I will consider doing a repair though I will avoid it as much as possible as it will break my root access and apps relying on root access and I don't have the necessary time to repeat that process. Thank you both alexdon and uliwooly!
