I have only had my A500 a few days. It is not rooted but updated to OTA Honeycomb 3.1. Otherwise it is as it came out of the box. The last two mornings, after being on the charger all night, it showed it was still charging and was only at about 60% charge one morning and 80% the other morning. When I unplugged it, however, the indicator (and "About" screen) showed it was at full charge. Use the remainder of the day would suggest the full charge indication was correct. Has anyone else come across this issue? Any suggestions?

My device sometimes does this but it's probably just a slow refresh setting on my rom.
I just don't look at the status of the battery but use the light on the power button to know when the battery is full.

I'm running a Sprint Mogul using no2chem's nueROM 2.2 Preview 7 (8's touchscreen issues made me downgrade), and having some very peculiar battery problems I'm hoping someone has advice about.
A few weeks ago I woke up, pulled my phone from the charger, and watched the battery instantly drop from 100% to around 83%. Over the next 15 minutes it dropped to the mid-70s before leveling out and discharging at a more normal rate. This occurred the next day and so on. Now this was with Seidio's 3200mAh extended battery. I then switched to my (sigh) OEM battery and didn't have the same problem, so assumed it was Seidio's battery, filled out an RMA, and sent it off to be repaired.
Now a couple of days ago the OEM battery started doing the same thing. I'd pull it off the charge and it would have somewhere in the range of 60% battery remaining. I'd have to plug it into my car charger or USB cable on my notebook to charge it up the rest of the way (albeit very slowly).
This morning I decided to watch the process from before I even unplugged it. First I noticed the orange light was on after a full night's charge. If memory serves me, the light's supposed to go out when it's at 100% (I may be mistaken). Meanwhile the battery meter was at 60%. I unplugged it and it remained there. I plugged it back in and watched no2chem's charge meter show the power connection, and I went ahead and left it plugged in for a little while before checking it again. It was now at 63%.
So what I'm finding is that at some point during the night my phone stops accepting a charge, despite the charge light remaining on.
I'm going to experiment with two things to further troubleshoot: tonight I'm swapping chargers with my wife's. I'm pretty sure the phone controls whether or not it's continuing to charge the battery, but I'm going to rule this out the only way I can. Then if that doesn't improve it I'm going to flash back to a Sprint official ROM (sigh) and see if maybe no2chem's power applet or power management settings are somehow causing this oddity.
Does anyone have any extra experiences with problems like this that might give me an idea of what else to try? Otherwise my thinking is if those two steps yield no improvements, then it's the phone's physical battery management hardware that's faulty and I'm going to have to use my insurance to replace the phone. I'd like to exhaust all the other resources before I spend the $50 on the deductible, though.
Thanks!
sometimes mine overheats while charging, at that point the LED flashes orange until it cools down enough to resume charging, this might be happening to your in the middle of the night
I thought I heard purple meant overheating. Either way, it's not clearly describing it. Also this has never happened before, so if it's happening every single night now, I've definitely got a problem.
Anyway, just plugged it in with my wife's charger. Let's see how it turns out in the morning.
You said :

Sure sounds like a bad charger.

Now confirmed. Just pulled it off my wife's charger after a full night, at 100%. Five minutes later, 99%. Much better. I wonder what would cause the charger to stop charging halfway through the night, but keep the charge light on. Well, at least the mystery's been solved.
I am sort of having the same issue. A couple of weeks ago I decided to upgrade from the standard Verizon ROM for my xv6800 to DCD's 3.2.2 ROM. The upgrade went perfectly. I always plug in my phone every night before I go to bed. The light turns orange while it is charging and then it is green when I wake up. The phone always showed 100%. Now with the updated ROM, I do the same, plug in before I go to bed, the light turns orange, and it is green when I wake up. But, when I look at the battery level when I unplug it, it is usually at about 94%. The battery level also seems to go down quicker than before, but I figured that had to do with the GPS radio and WM6.1. Why do you think the battery would no longer show 100% when I unplug it? Seems very weird that right after I upgrade the ROM my battery would start failing.

DCD roms included new code to show 1% changes. The original code showed 10% changes only. Originally, you likely saw 100%, 90%, 80% etc. Now you see 95%, 94%, 93%, etc. It seldom goes to a perfect 100% and it LOOKS like it is discharging faster. In reality it is simply showing more detail.

Yes, I noticed the 1% increments, I figured it was Windows Mobile 6.1 compared to 6.0. I think the old method was reporting in 5% blocks.
So, your battery never shows 100%? Very weird. So, my battery is probably fine and it is probably behaving just like it always has?
Thanks for the information.
For some reason my tab thinks that it is charging (i have a lightning bolt in the battery icon in the botton right hand corner, when i go into tab info it says "Charging AC", and when i bring it to the unlock screen it has the batter % and "charging" underneath it. However, i do not have the orange or white charging/ charged light on the power button.
Does anybody know why this is happening to my tablet and what i can do to correct it.
I have tried plugging it in and charging it, resetting to factory defaults etc but nothing helps.
Thanks,
Mike.
Wowzer !!!
if the system think that it's getting juice... you might be the owner of the tablet that never die and lasts forever... LOL
see the positive side to things
J/K ... someone will come along with help and answer
maybe you could try and re-flash it with the latest full rom ??
i wish it never did, however the battery % continues to reduce.
I am not yet rooted so I cannot reflash.
I have spent a couple hours talking to Acer today, they have told me to ring high level support haha.
Just my luck eh
Took the tab back to office depot and got a replacement no problem
Lost my screen protector though
Mine does this as well.
The icons are all indicative of charging and yet, it's not plugged in.
I thought the upgrade to 3.1 from 3.0.1 would fix that but it did not.
Mine no longer does this. I think it needed a full charge to "set" the battery or to calibrate the charge detection software.
I dunno, all I know is that after the tab finally got a full overnight charge while it was turned off - suddenly this issue is no longer.
Same goes for the touch screen not responding while the tab was plugged in. That issue is gone as well.

I have galaxy tab 2 10.1 purchased 3 months back.
Yesterday night i put it on charge before sleeping.
In the night is started beeping, I woke up to see that it was not charging and battery was below 5%.
The dailog box showed "plug into power source and close running apps for efficient charging".
But then it disappeared for a second and reappeared next second.
The tab was charging for 2 seconds and getting disconnected with charger second second.
It was stuck in this. Since it was late i disconnected the charger. switched off tab and slept.
I woke up tried every socked in my home and but same thing is happening.
Even tried charging switched off. But still the charging battery screen come up for a second and then goes off again.
What to do no battery left.
Im stuck. I bought when i was in UK, but now im in india and not sure that it carries international warranty.
I had the problem with battery drain too fast. The solution was to shutdown tablet for an hour with 100% and with 40% battery level. Here is XDA thread that might be helpful for you:

Don't know why battery calibration messed up (that happened after third charging). After applying procedure in the link above, my tablet returned to normal.
Basic Info: I'm currently running **[4.2.2][CM10.1][LINARO]Team Asylum CM10.1 Nighty, build date April 18 (Had recently flashed lastest nightly, then started noticing my charging issue, and flashed an earlier version to see if that would fix it.. it didn't).
The problem: I let my phone on my wireless Energizer Qi charger overnight. Charging indicator lights all went on, and I went to bed. I woke up the next morning and noticed that the phone was only at 37%. Putting the phone on the wireless charger, i noticed it will light up, then turn off, then light up, then turn off. Figured, something wrong with the charger/case, so I removed the case and tried again, same thing. Tried attaching to computer via USB, and the same thing happened, the connection dropped in and out. Now I have it attached to wall outlet, and the same thing is happening, especially if I move it around.
I managed to get it to a consistent charge (says USB though its plugged into wall..) by leaning the phone up against something, but if I move it it cuts out...
I first was thinking maybe there's something wrong with the microusb port, like what happened with my HTC Evo after a while.. but the same thing happens with the wireless charging.. So, I'm not sure what to do.. Whether it's a rom issue, a hardware issue, a kernal issue.. Any thoughts on what I should do? Wipe battery stats?.. RMA?.. Complete nandroid restore?
Adding: I have Snapdragon Battery Guru on there.. if that's relevant to anything.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app&hl=en

UPDATE. Flashed francos milestone 2, and the problem seems to have disappeared.
UPDATE 2: jk it's still doing it.
I've had the same issue for about a month now. I removed the snapdragon battery guru app and it doesn't do it as often now but it will still do it. I also calibrated my battery with a battery calibration app when it became fully charged and now it will only do it about once every three days. I don't really have any other advice than that, all I know is that my phone started doing it after I finally caved and flashed a kernel.

I have the same issue and I'm completely stock and unrooted. I will wake up in the morning and the battery is at, say, 80%. Unplugging the a/c and plugging it back in doesn't help at all. I have battery widget reborn and it tells me my battery is charging at 1% per 30 minutes. This morning I hooked it up to my HTC 8X charger and it immediately started charging correctly so I'm inclined to believe it may be the charger but it could've been coincidence since other times unplugging and replugging it works. Some other times I have to power off and then on in order for it to work again.
Ok....
I think it's not new that we have a problem here.
Some of the people who got OnePlus 5,
Facing an issue when charging that it charges up to 80%-90% with the Dash Charger.
And then simply stops, and to charge to 100% we use regular charger (Not Dash Charger)

And there are more evidence of the issue.
We need to deliver the massage to OnePlus.
So please tell me, your facing the issue too?

The power input in lowered after the phone has charged to 70%+, which results in slower charging speed.
It's done to preserve the battery and to allow more charging cycles in the long run.
So, it's not a bug. It's a feature.
As @sufoalmighty said, it's not a bug, it's a safety feature to keep the battery healthy.
Ok look.... it just stops and the phone says not charging.. i don't really know why
Hi Guys,
It's a real issue and I'm experiencing it. Plus, there are few threads about this on Oneplus forum and Reddit:
here: https://forums.oneplus.net/search/13523112/?q=dash+charging&o=date&c[title_only]=1&c[node]=265
and here: https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/6r0403/oneplus_5_dash_charge_stop_at_83/
I even had an error message on the phone when trying to charge it more than 85% when off... Everytime I briefly pushed on the power button to see if it was charging properly it said :
"Device temperature is too low. Can not charge"
Talked to Oneplus support twice, they escalated my ticket. But I have no news from them for 3 days now... I think the best could be having them akcnowledge there is an issue, even if it's gonna be painful for them for some obvious marketing reasons...
What do you think ?
If your phone actually entirely stops charging, it is a bug, probably a hardware problem with your charger, as a person on the linked Reddit thread said. Try a different DASH Charger first. If it did start after the update, you could always flash back and test it against tests of the new one and send them that information. Saying that it stops DASH charging isn't very clear and contains no information OnePlus can work with. Download Ampere and check it with the cable plugged in after 80% to see what value is showing, or use the *#808# menu to test the same. Post results, including a picture clearly showing the screen and the fact that it is plugged in [take it with another device].
Experiencing the same issue as @the_david. My OP5 is 5 days old, received it with stock firmware (4.5.3 I think, not sure) everything was fine. Updated to 4.5.8, rooted, installed magisk etc... Wanted to charge it after some days, but with the dash charger it stops completely at 75%. Turning of the phone shows battery temp to low (was at 33°C).
A non-dash charger will charge to 100%. Cache & Dalvik reset had no effect.
Edit:
I let the phone discharge to 0% and tried to charge it with the dash charger. I saw the dash charging symbol in the "bootloader" & blue LED, however it stayed stuck at 0%. With another charger I was able to load it to 2%, afterwards used the dash charger to get it up to 80%.
Got a replacement charger and the issue was gone
So, I got a new Dash charger and... It fixed the issue. It seems there are some problem with some dash charger series, especially if you bought your OP5 to a Chinese reseller...
Everything works fine now!
The problem in my case is the rom installed... Tried with RR and dash is ok up to full charge, but on stock oos up to 90% is dash and from there normal charge
No problems here. Dash charge till 80-90 percent and than charging values going slower and slower and slower up to 100 percent. So i guess i'm fine.
What i "do" like to mention is: When device is fully charged at 100 percent, within 10 minutes it drops very fast to 87 percent! than the battery seems to stabilizes itself. With each dropping percentage the battery is more and more going slower at discharging..
I don't know if that's normal behaviour, because i'm not familiar with OP5.. I came from Samsung.
Maybe somebody can explain this? or am i seeing it wrong?
It's strange.. i've a linear discharge.. have you tried a battery fix? Discharge all then charge until 100% from switched off phone.. Don't do this everytime because will damage battery... Or maybe it's just android that after sometime the battery percentage split to 2% at time... 100-98-96 etc..
Did that in the past with replacable batteries, also use battery calibration app (still a myth, but whatever). I never discharged this Device further than 10 percent (like you kinda mentioned it can damage the battery) and since it's hard to replace the battery i wont take the risk. Maybe my battery didnt even get the change to settle because of the many Roms and Kernels i Flashed over and over again, since i got my device for about 10 days now haha. I guess i need to give my battery more time to settle and don't stress it?
I was in your doubt too, since i've flashed a looooot of rom in about 2 days lol and i stressed really too much my phone.. But as i said up, i've noticed that the battery percentage (what we see in the statusbar and not the reality charge) depends a lot on which rom you're using... In this 2 days i've also charged my phone a lot of time, via dash charge or via pc (while copying files from computer to phone) and it seemed damaged in RR but when i reflashed back to freedom it has returned normally and today i have a very long life battery (charged this morning at 9:30 and now i still have 81%)... So in the end i think your battery is not damaged but have you tried a factory reset? PS: i've never discharged it under 20% PPS: and sure, for answering your question, i think that less stress (few charge)= more battery life so now i wait tomorrow to try another rom but today is the "My oneplus 5 rest day" lol
