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

My Z3 Compact upgraded to 5.0.2 two days ago in Hong Kong, Have the same charging issue with DK48 charging dock. Can only charge up to 77%, after reboot as adviced here, can only charge up to 83% now. Can charge to 100% only if charging directly via USB slot. Please fix it, thanks!

I got the charging dock problem solved by switching to the SONY short USB cable instead (Now can charge to 100%). That means Lollipop upgrade will make some types of USB cables unusable (My previous 3 meters long USB cable works perfectly well before the Lollipop upgrade). However, my problem is still not totally solved yet, because the SONY cable that comes my with phone is not long enough to reach my charging dock on the desk (I need a 2 meters cable), can you tell me what kind of 2 meters long USB cables should I buy for the use of chaging my Lollipop Xperia Z3 Compact via Charging Dock? Or is it Lollipop upgraded phone can only be charged using short USB cables? Thanks!

I'm also having a problem. My xperia z2 won't charge after 93% it starts to blinking and when I connect magnetic charger the led blinks charging /not charging repeatedly.. I have been perform all the factory reset and I've done flashing new firmware also but there is no use for that..my problem remains same.is there is any solution for my problem or I must exchange it with m8

My Z3 dual is affected by blinking light with magnetic charger as well since lollipop 5.0.1 rollout.
Glad I'm not the only one. Better chance of getting it fixed.

Same here with D6653 after installing lollipop. I had the charge ceiling at 92 but after doing a factory reset it's fixed but now I'm facing the charging/not charging issue while using the dock. Pretty annoying especially when I'm trying to sleep and the phone goes nuts in the middle of the night...

I had a similar problem when I first installed Lollipop. It was solved completely and permenantly when I did a fresh clean installation via PC Companion Repair phone option. Better than Factory reset.

I wonder if there's a way where I won't lose any data. Using repair will delete all my data as well.

@billycoy Just take back up of your phone using PC Companion and then repair your phone. After you have have repaired, restore to get your content back,

I tried a lot of stuff, so I just backed up my data and repaired.

Hello,

just to join the club: Same problem Sony Z3 compact, when charging and the battery level reaches ~90% the phone switches between "Charging" and "Dis-charging", the indicator light is blinking with 1-2 Hz (varying). That started occurring after the Lollipop (android 5.0) update and happens both with the charging dock and the original USB wall charger connected directly to the phone.

model:    D5803

android:  5.0.2

build:      23.1.A.1.28

production week: 14W41

so I already run the update that came last week, and it didn't help - unfortunately.

First I was a bit sad and thought my phone/battery is broken - but after reading all this, it seams like its a bug - so kind of good news.

There were quite some suggestions on what to do, but before hard-resetting my phone (and erasing all data) I would like to hear something official from Sony - does this really solve the problem? Some users here report it does not? So does it?

I would appreciate for ANY official information from Sony! If it's the hand set, that's broken - fine, I can buy a new one; if it's the software - also fine, I can wait for an update - But please tell us something!

Regards from Norway
