Hi, came across something strange this morning, when i took my phone off charge ot said 91%, but i always take it off at 100%, so i plugged it back in and now the battery is at 86%. Any ideas people?

I read somewhere that x10 has an auto disconnect function.. if your battery reaches 100% it wont charge further until it drops to 90% i think.. also check if the temperature have gone too high.
dial *#*#4636#*#* and check battery information..
I checked it, temp was 40c :S

not only does it not charge if you plug it in when over 90% (unless you power it down, then plug in. it will turn on and charge up to 100%) but it also turns off charging while plugged in. this means if you are listening to music, or streaming something while plugged in it will still lose charge until it hits 89%, then it should start to charge again, or if you plug in over night you could wake up to 90% charge depending on when it hit 100%. this kinda bugs me but i have learned to get around it.
you might have an app running in the background that caused your battery to run low and the temperature to rise. if you installed anything new recently try uninstalling it and see if the charging cycle fixes itself
For me is the same so far...

I noticed something similar go this but at lower power levels.
From a charge (starting around 8%) I found that even while plugged in,me playing with the phone caused it to drain battery faster than it would charge. So I left it alone for a while, then experienced the same issue around 50%.

i get the same problem too, but only when using my car charger. if i try to use google maps as a sat nav, the battery drains rather than charges. a real big pain to be honest, means I can't just use the sat nav features of the phone when ever I drive.
hi I also have the same problem however to add in to it also i noticed that battery is not charging they way it use to be i am using the stock charger that came with the phone and i have noticed that since i have updated it to R2ba020 the battery does not charge , i mean earlier i use to get it charged within 4 to 5 hours and now it just get like 40% charged in the same time.
anyone has any idea.
I am experiencing the same issue. sometimes the phone charges very slowly. And as soon as it reaches the 90% mark the LED turns green, the status says charging(AC), battery icon has that charging mark on it. but it does not charge any further, rather the battery starts draining. Once the charging went upto 93%, but thats the best it got so far. I guess it has somethng to do aith the battery temperture. what is the temperature limit if any one knows.
Okay... starting to get really agitated at the battery now. Charged it overnight for over 8 hours, and woke up to my phone at 72%. That's just inexcusable for any cell phone, smartphone or not.

Do ypu guys think it could be the 020 rom? has anyone checked if the 023 update is avaliable from seus? Ill try it tomorrow. But tbh this is really bugging me now, great phone yet there is always an issue......:'(

yesterday I charged it through USB. at 90% it stopped charging and started draining. unpluged the phone and repluged it after 5 minutes and it started charging and this time it went all the way to 100%. today I charged it through AC and it chrged to 100%. I think its working OK now. The only difference is that i installed Battery Indicator from market, but am not sure if that solved the issue.
I have the same issue with my phone after updating to the 020 firmware.
It will charge to a certain point and the power will drop off after that. It will never reach MAX.
This is Bad.
Not sure if it's related, but I upgraded to R2BA020 (Rogers) this weekend, and now whenever I tether via PdaNet my battery drains at quite an accelerated rate (15-20%/hour). Under the stock Rogers ROM this wasn't the case, and though the battery would drain while tethered (more power usage than was gaining through USB charging), it would be around 3-5%/hour.
I checked and the phone is receiving what appears to be a proper charge via USB, but I'm not sure if it fills to full or not.
It almost seems to me like 020 messed up how much capacity the phone sees the battery as holding. I did fully discharge the phone last night.
I'm using the 023 rom now. Completely skipped over the 020 rom so I can't compare the two, but in my experience, the 023 rom rooted seems to drain more battery than the 014 stock rom.

I have the same issue but i tracked down the problem.... its something to do with the usb socket on the phone i think.... When i plug it in sometimes starts charging sometimes it doesn't... but if i push the usb cable gently a little more in it starts charging again.... i think the usb socket is a little to big... and cable doesn't stay in place... most of the time if i touch the phone or the cable while charging it stops right away so I think I'm right....

If that's the case you'll want to RMA the phone. It's not normal.
I had that happen with my old iPAQ 910c. Eventually, it wouldn't charge at all as the USB port had become so loose. At that point I had the phone replaced by my carrier.
the socket is not loose its just too big i think ... doesn't move at all...
A friend of mine just picked up a Droid X today and he's having problems.
First, the charger it came with doesn't appear to charge, there is no charging indicator light.
I attempted to use a number of USB chargers, the first from my HTC Hero, another from an iPad, and a third is a cheap Chinese AC charger with a USB port that I picked up for my EVO.
The only charger that turns on the green light on the top is the cheap Chinese one.
If I plug it into my computer, I can also get the green light to come on, but it doesn't appear to be charging it. When the phone is on using the cheap charger, the phone appears to work, but says on the lock screen to plug the phone in.
Further, the lock screen is not responsive. We let it charge with the phone off for about a half hour with the green light on, the phone boot up and had a little bit of life and the screen did work, then it suddenly turned off and won't boot past the Motorola logo (just flashes for a couple of seconds then disappears.)
So, whats the verdict? Hardware problem or is anyone else experiencing this? The phone did completely die, so I wonder if that caused a problem of some kind.
Do you have a Green light when charging with the phone off? Does the light flash red when it's on and charging?
Thanks for the help!
I plugged it into my home computer and nothing happened vs. being able to charge my computer and nothing. Although the phone was about half way charged before I plugged at work, vs 10-15% at home.
Mine didn't charge while plugged into my netbook, but does charge while plugged into my PC, and definitely charges while plugged into the wall charger.
Update: After using the wall charger and fully charging it, I connected the Droid X to my computer and it now syncs up. Maybe the amount of battery power matters?
I don't think the green blinking LED is a charging indicator. Mine charges without it....but I notice when I was charging it the first time, it was going off when I had an unread text message. Is everyone sure the green LED is supposed to be a charging indicator? Mine's charging right now according to the bar on top when I turn it on while it's plugged into my computer.
I'm having a charging issue with my car charger.
When I plug it in to the car the audio volume drops to almost inaudible and the voice commands don't respond anymore.
This is with all the volume sliders set all the way up.
I have to reboot the phone in order to get it to work again.
I've charged it connected to my PC at home and work and it works fine with those.
Wow, the OP totally describe my problem i had too. I went back to Verizon and got another battery. My first battery wouldn't charge above 50% and the second came with 80% and we tried charging it at the store and it never went higher than 80%.I read on another forum that the charging indicator only reads at every 10% intervals, so that may be the problem. The rep and I at Verizon was watching it to see if it would move up to 81% so we would know it was working(beside the bubbles moving animation) and it didn't and we gave up, I will see what happens when I charge it tonite with the AC plug for the first time.
So the green LED light is not a charging indicator. Apparently, there is no charging indicator at all.
We left the phone off and plugged in with the stock charger, no light, but it did gradually move up.
I did some searching on the Motorola forums and another user ran into the same issue, he said that leaving the phone off and charging it for an extended period of time solved the problem.
I have no idea what the green light meant when it was plugged into my cheap Chinese charger, it must have been nothing.
It wasn't a text message or any other kind of notification since it was on only when the phone was completely off.
Before he left with the phone it was up to 90%. A brief press of the power button brought the phones battery state up, but didn't boot the phone.
Hope this helps anyone else with issues. Just plug it in and let it sit overnight.
I had a similar issue the first day.after overnight charge all seems normal for day two.

The only charging indicator is the lock screen part if you just turn it on it will tell you at what point it is charged.

It will occasionally show 5% intervals when it gets below 20% (I've seen 20, 15, 10, and 5% intervals).
I've noticed my phone doesn't like charging from a computer while the battery is really low. Once it's had a little bit of a boost from the wall charger, it will charge fine off the computer.
I just changed to a new one today.a friend of mine is having the sand issues. As so did i. It seems its not the battery its a short on the ground on some phones. Its pretty awkward but it has only been a handful from a batch of thousands that were released. So were in good money.

Is this good or bad?
I have no problem my phone charges fast and the battery lasts forever, my problem is i have dead pixels and they seem to be increasing the longer i have the phone, sucks that i have to wait on a replacement, i hope i don't end up regretting this purchase

When you said charge fast you're referring to wall charge? Car charge? Or usb charge?
Stock X
Hey guys,
Figured I'd swing over here and give this a bump for a buddy of mine. Seein if this may be a slightly common issue.
The situation(for him): All on stock phone NO ROOT
- No charge on wall/home charger. Shows charge indication but does not actually charge whatsoever.
- No charge using PC usb cord to charge.
Again everything is stock and not currently running any app killers or really anything out of the ordinary as I can tell. The only thing he has purchased and is running that I am aware of is Launcher Pro. The issue has been brought to the attention of Verizon which is his carrier and he just received his 4th phone! Honestly thats the only reason I'm posting an inquiry into this hear. A simple google search results shows others with similar issues(posted link at bottom). He has purchased a new battery and wall/home charger along with another USB cord. All 3 phones he has had produced the same issue with all of the charge accessories(4th phone just received so no tests as of yet, but i put money on it doing the same thing). Verizon has been willing to replace every phone so thats not a problem but seriously! Is that the only answer?
any help is appreciated in advance

There are two charging indicators, no lights! One is on the status bar, you'll see a lightning bolt through the battery meter, and on the lock screen it will say charging as well with a %.
Absolutely, yes sir. Both indicators(lightning bolt in battery, and battery charge indicators) light up and show charging. Although once phone is unplugged it will keep whatever the charge level indicates for a random amount of time usually between 1min-15mins then the battery indicator drops immediately and shows an almost dead battery. As in charge shows 80%, unplug and within mins phone shows 10%.
Also:
- There are no other indicators of charging other than those mentioned (as it should be).
- The phone connects to PC just fine for mass storage. Files transfer with no problems.
thanx again!
So... which one is it? First you say no indicators, and now there's indicators but it just doesn't hold charge. is VZW replacing the phone or the battery? sounds like a bad battery to me.
My apologies you are correct *edited post* i meant to say it does show charging as in you see the lightning bolt and everything even the battery icon fills to show a "fuller" battery although that stat drops almost immediately after unplugging.
As in replacements they replace the phone and battery as well. I know its the 3rd phone so far with the same problem.
I was reading that that a lot of you guys have issues with Android not displaying the real charge of the tablet and I was experiencing this issue for a while as well. In my case it was an easy fix, simply power off the tablet, carefully pry off the back, then disconnect the battery cable carefully (it's the cable coming from the big black thing on the bottom, google to find out where), finally hold the power button for about 10-15 seconds with the battery unplugged, this creates a static reset, using all of the electricity in the device and discharging it fully; it fixes all sorts of ****. Put it back together and you should be good to go.
It happened yesterday to my totally new nexus 7 16gb.
I charged it for about 8 hours while the tablet was turned OFF. When I turned it on it appeared to have 60% of battery... :-/
I reset the device and then again 60%..... So I charged it again and with no problem appearing, it charched untill 100%..
That happend only once, in its 3rd charge.
Any idea?
battery stuck at 0%
I was having this problem as well, my nexus was showing 0% battery. I took the back cover off and figured out that the battery cable was not pushed all the way into the socket. If anyone else is having this problem be sure to double check the battery cable is all the way in.

i experienced that too.switched off then after 5 hours of charging, the % was 54%. then i unplug the charger, remove the cable, unplug the 3pin . reinsert all the 3pin and cable, then continue charging. surprisingly, the charging the is quiet fast. so dont ever remove the cable from the charger. maybe there is something wrong with the asus charger
I am facing weird battery status..it shows me 0% in red danger zone even though fully charged, but after some hours status changes to normal remaining battery...I unable to understand how can I fix this...as I am not getting exact battery status...its now also showing 0 % with charger plugged....

I did this took battery cable out and reconnected but still showing 0% battery but it shows 2 days battery on battery settings and still wont let me update from 4.4.4 to L5.0.2
I'm on the latest cm nightly,
I always let my tablet die before charging but this time something odd happened. When I would plug it in the white battery that shows its charging would come on then turn off. If I unplugged and plugged in again the exact same thing would happen.
While plugged in I would try booting up. It would get to the lock screen then power down because it had zero percent charge.
I figured out if I just kept unplugging it and plugging it in again and again after the the screen turned off while the white battery was showing it would charge some, boot and stay on charging correctly.
This is the first time this has happened....

Sort of reading between the lines here, and I've only had my N7 for about a month now...
... but mine has never shown the battery display continuously when it is shut off but chanrging on the AC adapter. It comes on for a little while, and then shuts off - but the unit is still charging so far as I know.
Mine was sitting at 59% right now, so I shut it down, waited 30 seconds, and plugged it into the charger. The black and white screen shows up, changes once or twice, and the screen goes dark after about 13 seconds.
I don't take that to mean that it is not charging - it takes some juice to keep the screen lit, so the battery will charge faster if the screen is not lit.
I guess I usually leave it booted while charging, but I can certainly shut it off and verify that it is indeed charging without showing something on the display.
I think it is a bad idea to run your battery all the way down. Li-Polymer batteries do not exhibit memory from partial charging... but they DO have a safety circuit that disables charging if the battery voltage goes too low. You are not gaining anything by running it all the way down, but are risking the possibility that the safety circuit will flip and permanently prevent the battery from charging. (The low-voltage trip circuit is there to prevent chargers from attempting to charge a battery that has a short - that would be a fire hazard).
cheers
[ Edit ] I powered my N7 off at 50% battery, plugged it in & let it sit for 40min, and then booted it - charge now at 74%. The charging indication on the screen was only on for the first 15 sec. Dunno if you are saying something different - but I don't think the charging indication is supposed to stay continuously on while charging. Too bad the N7 doesn't have a small LED for this purpose.

Hm. I remember the screen always staying on when charging when powered off. But that could be just bad memory.
I still don't understand why it would power down after it booted up connected to my charger. (this is after leaving it plugged in for about 5 minutes turned off)

All about charging Li-ion batteries. Li-ions are different than 'regular' batteries. Full changes and discharges is not the best for your battery.

pretty much all modern electronics don't allow a full charge or discharge.
been using the nexus 4 wireless charging orb for about 5 days. just noticed today it is no longer charging my phone when the screen is on. it did before. as soon as i turn off the screen it charged back to full. when the screen is on it constantly switches between charging and discharging. anyone else notice this?

When you plug it in via usb does it do the same thing?
And when on the orb, what % are you? I found that it can do what you describe is when you are btw 95-98% because the orb charges and tops off and stops at 100 and wont start up until you hit 95 or below.
trying now plugged into my pc. still random. switches between charging and discharging quickly and constantly. i feel like earlier this week this wasnt a problem. earlier on ac power, it went from 100% to 89% while sitting on the orb (properly). charges fine with screen off still at least, just kind of random with screen on
