my nexus charging light used to turn green when it has 96 or 98%....
but now it turns green when it is 90 %. and yesterday, it was 97 and i took it off and plugged it in again after like 30 mins. it was still green, and batt % was 94. but even though it was plugged in, it was discharghing. while it was plugged in it went down to91 from 94 in another half hour.
i did recaliberate the battery according to cyanogens post...
i dunno whats going on..
HELP..!!
I'm pretty sure that's normal. My bone stock AT&T/Rogers N1 has always gone green at 90%.
They've always gone green at 90% when the phone is plugged in and turned on.
If they're plugged in and turned off they go green later apparently.
but mine used to turn green when it is like 96 or 98...
but it just started to be like this this week..!

Maybe your battery meter was miscalibrated before and now it is properly calibrated.
i think you just remember it wrong, because my nexus has ALWAYS turned green at 90%, from the first day i bought it brand new.
Completely normal behavior.
Green between 90 and 100, was miscalibrated before I think
I agree with the above posters that it does go green at 90%.

Has anyone ever had an issue where by their battery life is at say 59% and when i plug it in to charge rather than the blue charging icon appearing it just showing the battery being 100% and the LED doing successive double flashing as opposed to a static LED like i should be if it was charging?
I've not installed anything, flashed a new rom etc, was fine yesterday.
All i did was have a little play with CHTEditor.
somethings not right, it must be something to do with me messing about with CHTEditor
out of the blue my lock screen had gone, and it says i have a voice mail waiting when i dont. haha
Hard reset i think
update...
hard reset not worked...uhoh
Same problem here
I was in a phone call an al of a sudden everything just went black and rebooted. Turns out the phone stopped charging and flasing green and red. Battery ran out of power and the phone shut down. After the reboot the phone charged normally again
Another situation:
Phone started acting up again and endend in a reboot. Battery was empty and i made a phone call on the charger. during the phonecall the same problem happend again, but the battery was at 9%. I intended to unplug the charger and plug it back in, but after the unplug the battery jumped to 0% and shut down.
So, i think the battery is acting up. Having to charge the thing every damn day is finally taking it's toll.

yep, using the original battery, it seems to be ok now, charging as it should.
ahh well. cheers for the reply
one last this, how the hell to i get the lock screen back, i think im being dim.
edit
sorted
I have a program BsB Tweaks that has a setting for the lockscreen. Try that.
My phone is also charging fine when turned off, also it functions fine at the moment. i think it has something to do with overloading the device when the battery is low. Based on that its not possible to turn on any phone when the battery is in attached but the power is, i think everything is drained from the battery while charging it and that when overloading the battery just doesn't pull it anymore.
i don't have a alternative battery, mine is original.
What are the symtoms when the battery is at the end of it's life? does it do this, or is it supposed to give a warning or something?
edit: i am unable to find a manual page describing the different modes the LED could be blinking. I'm curious what is says about the red and green blinking mode. Does such a page exist?
I bought new HD2.
I have this phone for 4 days.
I think sth is wrong with my battery - 100%, I make a 4 min call, suddenly I have 96%. Another call - 10 min - 89%.
A tried many things, tricks mentioned here on the forum. Didnt help.
(HR, clean system without programs, took out micro sd cards - nothing changed).
Today I ve tried to charge it (from 2%) - I turned off the phone - wait 4 hours. Still amber light. But when I turn on the phone (still connected to a charger) light changed to green (and i saw 100% status battery on taksbar), then i turned off again, and green light changed again to a amber light.
Have you the same?
Or that means I have corrupted battery?
Ive been on many forums, and i see people saying - battery is for 1 or 2 days, and another group - battery for 8-10 hours.
Be grateful for your ansewers - I dont know what to do.

After 4 hours of charging the battery should be about full. But it why not charge it all night? If the phone is new you should charge it a longer for the first couple of times. And the battery could drain faster the first few times.
You didn't mention if you turned on Wifi, bluetooth, data connection, GPS, 100% screen brightness, heavy apps. All of them might drain your battery faster.
the longest i have personally experienced, and I am currently still opn this status, is that one single battery charge lasted me 4 days. While draining about 5-10% each day.
How tho? I simply dont know! to be honest, I somehow managed to screw up my today screen so I can have no htc sense on and sometimes nothing on.
anyway about the battery charging, I suggest you to read this.
dunno where I got it from and real or not, it might just help you
good luck

Thx for your answers.
But tell my about this indicator - green and amber lights.
I turns green only when I charge battery and phone is ON.
But when I charge battery while phone is off, then i can wait 3-4 ours it's still amber (but when I turn on phone suddenly it changes to green and it shows 100%).
The four hour charge - was that with the charger or USB computer charging?
I can do full charge in 1.5 hours from the charger and over 4 hours on the USB computer charging.
ok, it donest matter - usb or cable.
matters - phone ON or phone OFF.
When phone is on - turns green.
When off - it is all the time amber (red) - using USB or cable, doesnt matter. But when i turn on the phone it changes to green. when i turn off, it changes to amber again.
My battery says 100%, then I turned it off and plugged it back in and the indicator was still white. Huh?

The anorexic manual says Green is 95% or higher. Maybe the indicator had a margin of error or somehow used up 5% of its power cycling (which would be unfortunate)?

I'm not sure of the level that Motorola uses, but with Cyanogenmod 7 on my Droid Incredible the charging light turns green at 90%. Maybe this is a standard Android value???
I seem to be flying through my battery, but I HAVE been doing a ton of stuff. Even playing games via bluetooth and hdmi on my big tv... I'll leave it off and plugged in for an hour and thirty minutes and see if the indicator changes color. Still white at the moment.
EDIT - At full, 100% charge (tells me so when it's on), my LED is White. Someone please verify their LED colors for me...
During charge mine is white/blue. When it reaches 95ish percent it turns green.
Regardless of when the charge indicator turns white, green, etc like many other mobile devices the battery gauge may not be all that accurate. When the battery gets to a certain point, charging stops and discharging begins again. After a discharging for a while, charging may begin again. The amount of charge shown may depend on where you catch it in the cycle. Unplugging it after it becomes green and then plugging it in again causes a "bump charge". This is fairly common behavior and hardly exclusive to the xoom.
If you want to really know what is going on, I suggest using this free android utility / widget...

I've now found that I'm getting between 10-12 hours of heavy usage, probably. I was playing games and surfing and playing music for 6 hours last night and I wound up at 50%. So I guess I can ignore the LED thing, I guess. It turns red when the inner camera is on.
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.
Just left the phone run down to 2% and plugged it in! It took 1hr and 30 mins to reach 100% (no idea if thats the norm or a tad longer then usual given the phone was switched off) The interesting thing was that at 100% the led didn't turn green and the phone appeared to still be charging! It took a further 20 minutes for the phone to actually show the fully charged symbol and the led to turn green! Whats the deal with that??
