Xperia Z battery indicator error

So I bought an xperia z in April, and there were no problems for the first 2 months. But now my battery indicator(the % and the picture of the small battery) is telling me the wrong values. This will always happens when the battery reaches under 40%,so if I turned the phone off in for example 37%, when I turned it on again, the indicator will show me around 50-60% and when the phone has reached around 20% it will shutdown, and tell me that it has 0% battery. I am sick of memorizing my battery every night or if I wanted to turn the phone off. I have tried factory reset, repairing via SUS, and also done the press volume up and pwr button till the xz vibrates 3 times, none of them work. If I am not able to solve this issue, im afraid this will be my first and my last Sony phone. I has contacted my local Sony service center and they said that I have to leave my phone there, I refuse to do it, since I have heard bad reviews about Sony service centers in Indonesia where it take months to fix a small issues. Someone please help me. Thanks

Do you have the latest software update. I had this battery level bug only when I updated the software to the one before. As soon as I updated to .244, the problem never came back. Seems it was an issue with a previous update.
