Hello,
I was wondering has anyone encountered this issue and got any fixes? I charged my phone while turned off until it was showing 87% but when I turned it on the battery icon showed 20%. Phone remained on and used occasionally all day,still showing 20%.eventually notification for the usage warning for battery dropping below 30% showed up. I tried charging my phone for awhile when off, when on, with two different chargers and no change in battery %. Tried a soft reset, restarted in safe mode and still no difference. Any further suggestions would be great, thanks.

Hi @Benni2,
I'm sorry to hear this.
As @Quester said you should try to do a force reset (volume up + on/off key simultaneously for 10 seconds). Then start your device as normal.
If you are still experiencing the same behavior with the battery percentage not showing correctly, I recommend that you perform a software repair using Xperia Companion.
Keep us posted how it goes.
Try pressing Volume Up + Power buttons together for 10 seconds continuously, this should reset abnormal battery percentages.

Thank you to yourself and @quester it took two goes but the rest appears to have worked so far! Cheers!
That's great to hear! :smileysmileythumbsup:
Let us know if there is anything else you are wondering about.
Did hard reset and also made an update via xperia companion. Still the issue persists. Kindly guide. Xperia z3+ e6553. This is causing a lot of inconvenience
I have the same case, what should I do?
Had the same issue with my Xperia X Performance for three days and it got fixed in its own. It is very strange.
I'm having problem after updating. I tried both +volume thing and Soby Companion Repair. Battery indicator is still at 20%
For what it's worth.
Found this.
Maybe it is helpfull, maybe not.
How to calibrate an Android device battery without root access
The old 'fully charge and discharge' approach stands as one of the simplest ways to 'recalibrate' your Android battery. We've warned you in the past about low voltage problems in lithium batteries and the negative impacts of fully draining a battery on its lifespan and the same holds true here. But, if your phone battery is causing you real problems, it's worth taking the risk.
Method 1
Remember that it is not recommended to perform this process regularly. Even when your battery is so dead your phone won't even turn on, your battery still has enough reserve charge to avoid system damage. But you don't want to poke the tiger with a stick. Perform this process once every three months at the most. If it is required more often than that, you have bigger problems at hand.
Put plainly: fully discharging a battery is bad for it. Trying to overload a battery is also bad for it. The good news is that charging batteries will shut off automatically when they've reached their safe limit and there's always a little in reserve even if your phone won't start. Again: only do this when really necessary, because it does have a negative impact on battery life.
