can it be done...its annoying when it makes the noise and lights up when im asleep
What annoys me more is that it appears to stop charging once it's full. So by the time I wake up and unplug it in the morning, my battery widget tells me I'm only at 95%
thats crappy...but anyone know the answer to my question?
The noise can be disabled by turning off the screen tap noise in settings under Sounds and Display (you'd be surprised at how unnecessary that noise really is - it's a much quieter experience without it - and I daresay even slightly faster, though your brain tends to think the phone is waaay faster with the noise response, as it gives you something to react to instantaneously.) However, the notification will still cause the screen to turn on for a few seconds. No way to change that without root.
Actually, this is a big problem for me..
I changed the setting for when plugged in, so that the screen stays on.. So I kinda use it as a bedside clock..
The beep and the notification are 100% annoying.. It has woken me up in the middle of the night.. I HAVE turned down the sound, but for some reason, the screen tapping noise has returned to full volume on it's own a number of times.
But the WORST part, is that IT DOES STOP CHARGING YOUR PHONE AFTER THE NOTIFICATION COMES UP! I just unplugged my phone after charging all night, getting the FULL CHARGE notice, and it is at 96% (according to Battery Status Pro and Battery Monitor).. Yesterday, it was at 95%. If I charge it and unplug it right after I get the notification, then the phone is 100%. I think I lose a lot of power since I have the screen stay on when plugged... So now that it is done charging, my screen stays on using battery power for an hour or 2 while I am still sleeping (while plugged in). But why does the power still not trickle in even after being fully charged??
This needs to be fixed!!

Are you using the cable or the dock? Curious cause the dock doesn't stop charging the phone when its full. I haven't used the stock cable cause it doesn't really charge the phone at all when plugged into the computer. I killed the phone last night (takes surprisingly long from 6%) and it charged just fine last night. I'm hoping the phone realizes there's more juice than it thinks there is. It was at 0% alone playing youtube videos for like 10 minutes. I finally killed it with a 3d game.

I am using the cable plugged into the AC adapter. I haven't purchase a dock yet.. Waiting for the dock that sits higher up on the desk/table.
Yes, I definitely noticed the same thing.. When the phone gets down to 10%, it can take an hour or 2 to get to 5%... and I can still use the phone and watch videos till it gets to 1%... Basically, as you said, it is not reading the juice right.
As far as the phone not charging once it gets to 100% goes. This is definitely true. It seems that it will stop charging, but once the phone drops to a certain % it will resume charging... I'm not sure why it does this, seems kind of dumb. But you can see it happening on this chart. Look closely at the Charging portion
I don't think the widgets are reading the battery right. I am getting the "battery full" notification when my widget says 94%-97%. I charge it while I am at work so it is right next to me. From 12pm-5pm it was full and did not change from "95%" with the notification light staying blue the entire time.
It doesn't seem so much that the phone is quitting the charge and burning through 5% of the battery overnight.
The phone seems to consider 95%+ full...or the widget is not accurate.
This morning I woke up to the phone at 95% with the blue light.
Unplugged, plugged back in and it continued to charge till 97% then blue light again.
Unplugged, plugged back in and it continued charge for a couple minutes then blue light again.
I love the phone, but I hate this problem... I really hope someone fixes this soon, especially after we get custom ROMs!
Also noticed that the phone says battery full even though the battery widget states 95% or 97%. I have a generic Galaxy S on ATT with the same battery widget, never a problem, always shows 100% upon recharging.
Otherwise, this version seems much faster overall than the generic Galaxy S. Both get decent battery life - approximately a day and a half to almost two days on a charge. Certainly better than the Nexus One.

I don't find this an issue at all. I think its rather healthy for the battery to discharge a bit. Its worse to keep it plugged in at 100% all the time.

They set it up to discharge on the charger after it hits 100% so it doesn't over charge the battery. My palm pre did the same thing the only difference was they had a gui battery level that read 4% different then the actual battery level for this reason so when it was on charge and said 100% it would cycle down to 95% then back up to 100% while showing 100% battery to you through the phone menu the entire time.
What I think is the most annoying is that the screen stays on. I haven't heard it yet, but I'll wake up and check my phone and I see the notification that the battery is full and the screen is on. I don't know how the life on those super AMOLED screens are, but I'm sure that leaving the display on for hours every night is detrimental.
I turn my phone off at night when I charge. I must sleep heavy because I have not seen or heard what you guys are talking about. I use the AC adapter.

I can't say I've had this problem - the screen shuts off automatically after 10-20 seconds. You might be waking up as soon as the screen pops on?
Also, keep in mind folks, to turn off the sound, under Settings, Sound and Display, disable "Audible Selection", and the noise won't appear again.
A fix like this, I suppose?

It's a good effort, but reading the thread, a fresh, zero-touchwiz rom might be the only real answer.
I am not sure what I'll do. Plug it in to the wall adapter and cover it up? Easy, but if I do that, the dock is going back to Sprint. I have the travel dock/spare battery, so I could swap in a full battery to get the notification out of the way, but that seems... retarded.
This is really annoying to me.
Charging notification PROBLEM SOLVED !
PROBLEM SOLVED ! NO COST !
I saw this suggestion in another forum and it WORKS, so I'm passing it on !
Set the global notifications to SILENT.
Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.
You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.
I don't mind the discharge the problem but it discharges too much. I woke up once with the battery full message, hit ok only to see my battery was at 87%. Anyone know if charging ever kicks back in once it discharges down to a certain point? Babysitting your phone charging pattern is kind of counter productive.

Ok, so my Kindle Fire is rooted running an older version of CM9 (Late January) and since I don't use it very often it just sits there. Well, it ended up draining the battery and when I plug it into the wall to charge it just tries to turn on, gets to the FIREFIREFIRE bootloader logo and shuts off instantly. Over and over and over...
I've had it plugged in for about 20 minutes now and nothing is changing... How can I make it stop so it will just charge? I feel like its just booted and draining faster than its charging now.
Just let it sit for over an hour, came back and the screen was off with the light just flashing.
What now?! I unplugged it, and plugged it back in and it just resumed the screen flashing again...
I hope it didn't break because of the stupid battery
- plug it to the wall charger
- press and hold the power button for ~20sec till it turns off to allow it to charge
- let it charge for some hours (over night)

No dice, it won't turn off. I held it for over a minute while looking at the power light from an angle. It just kept on blinking green...
Btw, here is another thread for this

Finally receieved my Nexus 4 after almost 2 months waiting, but not really enjoying it right now.
Received it yesterday, unpacked it and I couldn't turn on the phone. So I've connected the cable into the charger and a light showed up.. After 30 min I saw a battery icon and after 1 hour I could turn up the phone.
When turned on, it showed 3% battery, so I let it charge for about 5 hours. While charging I've noticed something strange.. it was charging very slow. After 4h of charging it was showing just 16% battery and 1h later it was suddenly at 70%. After it got till 99% I unplugged the charger and tried to use the phone.
Everything worked till I wanted to restart it. The phone doesn't want to start up! Pressing the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds.. nothing happens. Tried the volume button combination.. nothing. Plugged it into my PC and after 10 min the battery icon showed up?! The battery was at 0%! The battery went from 99% to 0% just by turning it off!
I've let the phone charge again, this time the whole night (7 hours).. It was fully charged at 100%. I disconnected the charger and turned off the phone.. and again: a black screen.
I've Googled and searched everywhere but couldn't find 1 thing.. what could be the problem of this? How can my phone go from 100% to 0% by turning it off?
I have no idea what is going on but you need to contact google asap, they'll send a replacement and hopefully the new one isn't a dud.
If you want to try playing with it, plug the phone into a different charger with a different cable, let it charge overnight/12hrs and give it another shot it could be a bad cable/charger (to be honest I think this is a long shot.)
Really sounds like a hardware problem.
Your only option is RMA.
I got my nexus 4 on Tuesday morning, plugged it in to the charger, waited until it reached 100%, then inserted my sim card, turned it on, upgraded through OTA from 4.2 to 4.2.2 and then set up my usual things. I discharged the battery from 100% to 16%, then I turned it off and plugged to the charger. I turned it on when it was at 95%, and unplugged from the charger because I had to get out of home. This morning it was roughly at 30%, then I turned it off and plugged it to the charger. Later I turned it on, it was at 93%, so I waited until 100% before unplugging. It stood ages at 99%, so I turned it off. A little bit later I tried to turn it on, and when I pushed the power button it showed that the battery was charged, then the image disappeared and the led began blinking in red until I released the power button. I unplugged it, then powered on, and it booted, everything as normal: but the battery was on 94%. I plugged it in and after one minute it was already at 99%. I turned it off, then pressed the power button, but same behaviour: image, then red led blinking. So I plugged the phone to my galaxy nexus charger, waited for a little, and then same behaviour again. So I unplugged it, turned it on, and when I was in the system I saw that the battery was on 100%.
Now the battery is normally discharging while using it, no strange values.
What should I do now? Should I let it discharge until it turns off, or should I never let it discharge until it turns off? And should I charge it with the stock charger or the galaxy nexus charger? I'll be grateful to everyone makes me know what he thinks.
Excuse me for my poor English and for how much I wrote, I would make things clear as possible.

I am sorry for my lazy, I only skim through your post, but I do read the question.
I read somewhere in this 4rum that the Nexus4's battery can be charged at anytime you want.
FOr me, I usually use the phone until 20-30%, then I turn my phone off and charge.
For my brother, he charge without any pattern, and he doesn't turn the phone off when charging.
For my own opinion, you shouldn't use the phone until the batter is empty.
Notice the same thing 3 times with my Nexus. Have searched for a answer to this but no one has a answer I guess or just ignore it. I just power up without it being plug in ..
R: My nexus 4 refuses to turn on while attached to the charger
Now it's at 13%, i'll plug it in the next 10 minutes, then i'll see what will happen this time. Very strange indeed.. I'm only a little bit scared about the "red led death" i read about here and there over the internet.

I never turn mine off. I charge it all night every night when I sleep. Stays on.
Send it back? Rma?
as above i charge my device every night, its never powered off,. is the device hot while charging not like usual warm temp, but very hot that the device detects an issue?
the battery stats are wiped each time its charged, i guess you have some internal failure, battery not being detected after you disconnect from mains or reported as flat, faulty, unreliable source
its best not to fully discharge the battery but maybe you should use it till it powers off then recharge, any charger is fine, but you dont need anything higher than 1amp
i would return it, would suck to have an issue away from home.
Hello, forum
My Nexus 7 3G has been showing some battery issues lately. A while ago, the device was on airplane mode with WiFi connected. The only running apps were Temple Run 2 on the background and Whatsapp. The battery got down to 2% when I noticed it so I plugged it in with the original 2Amp charger and the original short cable. After around 5 minutes, the battery went down to 1%, and then the device died. Now, it's still plugged in. When I try to power it on, it shows the charging screen (first with the battery with the charge icon and then a battery with in a filling up cycle. After 5 cycles, the screen goes blank. There is no other response from the device. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raptor
UPDATE: Okay, I think I fixed it. While the charging icon was on the screen, I pressed the power button again till it booted up. The battery was at 9% on boot, so it was charging fine. Still, that behaviour is unusual.
