Battery ?

Everyday my battery icon turns gray and a little exclamation mark comes out. When I plug the charger in it just blinks and after a while it begins to charge. Could it be a bad battery?

That's weIrd...have you had any battery life issues? And are you stock or rooted?

I'm rooted. My battery I guess has been fine. It dies quick though. I think I need a new battery... In every Rom I use I end up with the same thing.

I have seen this happen, however, its usually when my phone is plugged in. You see, I have 2 mt4g phones. I leave one plugged in, and when the battery gets low on the one I am using I will go to the one that is plugged in, and remove the battery to switch them, and while the phone is still plugged in, that grey icon will appear. I know it sounds weird but if I remove the battery from my phone while its plugged in, it stays on with that icon you are talking about. So possibly you may have a bad connection with your battery and phone.

Might be your charger but check your battery for bumps in the center if it has a bump its your battery

My charger is fine. I'm sure its the battery. My phone dies so quick

Battery not showing 100% charged

So I have noticed that the battery on the tab does not show fully 100% charged. Every time I charge the tab overnight and I bring up the notification bar the battery only shows 99% charged, this is as soon as I unplug the charger. The tab can not loose 1% charge in the second it takes to disconnect it. I have noticed that this also happens with the original tab and no one could figure out why. What is the deal with this?

Yeah, I've noticed as well, but dont care too much

Because as soon as it loses 1/1000th of a percent, it is no longer 100% charged. So it shows 99%. That's just the way it is.

Battery only charging to 75%...How do you clear/reset battery history?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this has to do with a battery calibration issue, but my Nexus 4 has been charging only up to 75%.
Also, every time I plug in my charger, the battery history used to reset to 0 min. Now, the battery history has been on for 3 days without resetting. I'm guessing this is because the charge doesn't go all the way up to 100%. How do I fix this? I am on stock 4.2.2 and using the stock charger. Should I try using my Nexus 7 charger?
Thanks,
Nexusowner

Use different charger! Stock charger sucks! I had the same problem...

Let it drain all the way, until it shuts itself off. Plug it in and do not turn it on, let it charge all the way. The screen will display charging progress. If the screen is blank press and quickly release the power button to see the status.

Used my MyTouch 4G slide charger and it charged to 100% with the battery history reset. I must have a defective charger. Hopefully, Google will send me a charger and I won't have to RMA my whole phone...

Charging Flicker On/Off then Sudden Power Loss, Just a Fluke?

I was charging the phone via the wallport adapter starting around 14%. A few minutes in the charge indicator/icon flicker on and off and I get all these "Low Power" warning spam.
I try to change cables but the phone power level just dropped from about 13% to 0% in less than a minute. After plugging in a different cable the phone is charging fine now.
What exactly happened? My friend mentioned the cable might be damage and something short circuited. Should I be concern about damages to the battery?
Comments are appreciated,
Thank you

Sounds like your previous charging cable broke.

I take it you were using the stock charger. It's junk. I replaced mine a few months ago and haven't had an issue.

Interesting, which adapter are yer using now?

I had the same problem except my battery percentage never went to 0. The charging would flicker on/off then the battery percentage would slowly go down/stay the same/or charge extremely slowly. I switched to a different charger and haven't had a problem since. The LG one is bad. I'm using the stock LG cable with the new charger now.

[Q] Red light of death?

Last night I plugged my nexus in before falling asleep, the battery wasn't extremely low (20%) and it seemed to start charging completely fine. However, when i woke up i unplugged the phone and was unresponsive, I tried holding the power button and such, but to no avail. I then plugged the device back into the wall and the notification light came on a solid red. I tried to turn the device on again and still had no success. I've had it plugged in with the red light on for about 7 hours now and there is no change at all. Please anyone have any knowledge pertaining to what the problem is and how it could be solved?
