Motorola Z3 Keeps Shutting Down

Enthusiast - Level 1

My phone has started randomly shutting off when I reach 70% battery power. I haven't even had it a year yet. I usually have to reboot it several times or plug it in to get it to work. Not convenient when I'm on the road. 

I've done all the phone checks and deleted stuff and removed apps. 

Verizon wants to offer me a refurbished phone but why when I'm still paying for this one?

Simmons2, having a properly working phone is key to enjoying your services with us. I welcome the opportunity to address your device shutdown issue on your Z3. When did this issue first start? Do you currently have Adaptive Battery turned on or off under Settings>Battery>Use Adaptive Battery? Are you using an approved OEM charger for your phone whether in your home or your vehicle?

 

If all troubleshooting has already occurred, then we will replace the device. We serve as an intermediary between you and Motorola and as a result, we will uphold their warranty to replace the phone with the same make and model device at no additional cost to you due to a manufacturer's defect being present. This process is in place so that you don't have to send your phone in to Motorola and wait for it to be repaired or replaced. With the warranty replacement, the new Device ID simply replaces the one that was on the original Device Payment Plan as the agreement transfers over to that device.

Hello Ebony , 

 

I am having the exact same issue, although in addition, my phone will only stay powered on for about 4 seconds, just long enough to boot. I have tried every trouble shooting option available, even a factory data reset and nothing seems to work. I have also tried recalibrating the battery . When phone shuts off, it is at 100%. 

 

Please help,

Same problem. Around 70% battery or less the phone shuts off. And often it will not start back up until it is charging. Very frustrating when I am out for the day with no charger.
