My nexus 4 was all fine till I flashed the r22 kernel.
My phone had about 22% battery left, so I plugged it in to wall, and I started using it at the same time
To my surprise, after 2 hours of being plugged in to wall, the battery has discharged to 19%! And I've been only using Whatsapp with lowest brightness! no heavy usage!
So I left it there to charge without using it, and it reached 95% in about 7 hours! (usually it took 2 to 3 hours)
I reverted back the kernel and the ROM and tried again, with no success! It goes through the same behavior.
Any Ideas? Is something wrong with my device?
are you using the original charger? my nexus 7 discharges while plugged in if I'm using my nexus 4 charger

Could be the cable? Im using its cable but plugged to the pc.
I am suffering from something similar since updating OTA to 4.2.2. I'm using the official charger and always charge overnight but twice in the last 6 days the device has not been fully charged in the morning. Looking at the battery graph it reached 100% in a few hours but then slowly discharged despite still being plugged in. I use the Clock Daydream in Night mode (and always have, since I got the device in November) so I'm going to disable that first and see if the problem exists. If so then I'll try a different charger. If that fails then it's factory reset time.
it is strange that after reaching 100% plugged it in to wall if i use it to listen to music or something like that still plugged to the wall it discharges to 99%.
This makes no sense to me a phone discharging while plugged to the wall
same thing's happening to me. not really that bothered but I want my phone to charge and not discharge when I play music. ;(

Yes, I've had the same experience since the OTA 4.2.2 update. Went from 8% to 1% while running nothing but XDA app at lowest brightness. Stock charger. Never had it happen before update.

That's your issue, your PC's usb only supplies 500-+ mA for charging. The nexus 4 original charger is 1.2mA.
It's the stock charger, it sucks, try re-plugging the cable several times (check in battery, if charing says "AC" instead of "USB)

Once your phone reaches 100% it stops charging even if it's still plugged in.

x10 has been on the charger for over an hour, still sitting at 1%, lol
when i went to bed at 2:40am, it was at 40%, woke up at 7:30am to 14%, got to work at 8:45am, it was at 4%. been plugged in since about 9am (10:19am now), and it's still at 1%. red LED is on, phone works, but shuts down shortly after unplugging it.
nothing running in the background, airplane mode on.
don't know if it's the battery, or the phone, but it's going back today. and i'll be getting something other than the x10. probably something other than android at this point (4th android device).
this is really weird since i have never had a battery issue up until this morning. the battery always lasted atleast a day an a half.
Is there really an os superior to android at this point?
webos is pretty killer but palm phones suck so far (though the hp pre 3 looks incredible)
at this point?
no
in the future for some current os?
yes
i'm not looking superiorority, just something else.
*UPDATE:
plugged the cable into a different usb slot, apparently that was the problem, lol. it's up to 4% now.

Its happen to me once a while especially when I change my Rom...What I do is turn off my phone and pull out the battery for few minutes and put it back and charge it..If the battery do not heat up when you charge then the battery is charging but if it become hot than usual repeat same procedure..

You're correct... the only reason it would appear to discharge quicker is because of the added heat as the phone/battery gets warmer when using the wall charger.
Otherwise the discharge rate would be exactly the same for both methods
Well...u could try "OFF mode" charging. 2.2. see that works or nt...
Svt try this, this works for me.
Flash back too 2.1 stock s.e fw. Go charge for 100% .
It should fix the problem.
When you flash custom rom clean bat stat. Note- dont clean bat stat again when your in a running custom rom.
I have this problem too on j's rom v12. im 100% charged, and try to plug again the charger its charging but the bat is decreasing, weird hehe.

It gets warm but not so much. And very important thing is when you charge in wall to turn off charging right after it reaches 100%. It's not healthy to leave it in.

it gets much warmer than by usb as the current is double....
That's why it would appear to discharge quicker until the battery cools down.

Exactly!
According to my experience, that is the only difference between charging via USB and on the wall. If you do the latter, it appears to be discharging faster at first, but after it settles, it holds the charge just as well.
Ok, you can see my battery temp when charging trough wall socket. When not charging the temp is about 34 degree. So wall charging doesn't make the phone too heat more than a usb.

I beg to differ..mine is much warmer on the wall charger than when charged via usb... Especially during the end of the charge
Rather dramatic title!

Yes, I believe that is normal. I just did a charge today, from 0% to 100% in about 4.5 hours. Quite quick I was very surprised.
Six hours seems pretty long. The lowest I've let my battery run down to so far is 55%, and it took two hours to get to 100% on the stock charger.
I get full charges from 10% or so in 2-3 hours.

did you use the original wall charger or you charge it via PC's USB? I guess the wall charger is a bit faster.

The wall charger should be around 4 times faster. You computer outputs around 500mA where as the wall charger is 2A (aka 2000mA).
Don't use third party USB cables with charger it also charge the nexus 7 slowly. This is what I found when I first bought it. Using original cable with original charger seems to charge it very quickly.

I'm using stock cable and charger plugged into the wall socket. Everything else is perfect, and not enough to return but a concern nonetheless. My Toshiba thrive charge blazing fast at 0_100% in 2_1/2 hrs.

When you are charging, is your Nexus 7 powered on, or does it display the battery icon in the middle of the screen?
For reference, mine was powered on when it charged from 0% to 100%.
Had my Nexus 7 about a week now, had some system restarts at random times (when not even using the device) which is a bit of a concern, but read it could be the 4.2 update. But as hasn't happened while using so far it's not annoyed me. However charging is becoming a bit annoying. It's taking forever!
I have a battery widget installed and its stats tell the story. Battery is usually fully charge in: 6 hours 59 minutes.
It's plugged into the wall, with the cable and charger it came with, tried using an Apple charger block to see if it was that, no luck. Not tried another Micro USB cable yet, but may do if anyone thinks it could be that?
Also according to the stats it charges 1% every 7 minutes and I put it on charge at 9:45am this morning at 35% and it currently on 66% and it is now 2:55pm. It also says it will finish charging at 7:00pm tonight.
The app/widget is Battery Widget? Reborn! Does this have anything to do with the slow charging?
But this is a bit of a joke to be honest. Is my device faulty?
Mine charged from 1% to full in 2h10m today. Stock charger.

You are using the original 2A charger right? Have you tried with an other USB cable on it (might be broken?)
Also try to monitor your charging without the app, just write down what time you plugged it in at what percent and check it that way. (the app might show wrong readings).
If you have an other 2A charger you can borrow, you can try to eliminate that to. Not sure how long it takes via a regular USB port on the PC.
If it keeps charging that slow, your battery might be defect..
Good luck anyway
I am not sure if anyone else is experiencing this but I am seeing that i'll charge my phone for somewhere between 5-8 hours using the original wall charger and cable but it will not fully charge. It gets to about 70-80%. Is this happening to anyone else?
Any other details? Rooted? ROM?
My phone fully charges from 10% to 100% in about 2 hours or less

5-8 hours is definitely not normal. It fully charges from 0 to 100% in 3h 45min Max and even that is a little bit of a stretch. For me its more like 3hours.

Check your chaging status. If it says USB, thats your problem. Without further knowledge of your setup, I cannot advise you any further

Stock everything. It's happened about 4 nights now.
I find that sometimes my stock charger detects as USB instead of AC. You can see if it is charging that way in the battery details in the settings. When it is stuck on USB it is way slower.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Yeah and if you want it to charge a little bit more faster you turn off the device
Check about phone, make sure it says Charging (AC) and not Charging (USB). If it's USB then thats the reason why, use another charger.
My stock charger that came with N4 went to USB but then for some reason, after I replugged it, it went to AC and has been AC ever since.

Wow, glad I found this thread. I was wondering what the cause of this was, as well. I've been using my GNex charger since it switched over.
I'm unsure what's wrong!!!
My phone has been fine, until it died today. I practice a 1 charge a day rule and I let my battery drain completely before I even think about putting it back on the charger.
Today, my phone died a littler earlier than expected, but that's okay because I was using my iPhone for most of the day. I got home at about 11PM and put my phone on the charger at 11:15PM. Here it is, 2:25AM and my phone only has 30% charge.
I've never noticed it charging this slowly before because I typically put it on the charger before I go to sleep and take it off when I wake up. This doesn't seem normal from ANY phone that I've ever used or troubleshooted in my life.
Why so slow? Is everyone's phone just as slow or should I be concerned?
Edit: I am using the charger that came with my phone in the same wall outlet that I've used since I got the phone. Nothing else is plugged into that outlet, either.
It would seem sensible to try a different charger and power outlet.

Your should be at 100% in that 3 hours. Try using a tablet wall charger.

I don't have another charger. All I own is Apple products, unfortunately.
I've done other other outlets throughout the house before posting, but I wouldn't see why the one I'm using is compromised in the slightest. It's charged the phone fine since I've gotten it.

The only Tablet I have is my iPad. I was thinking about just using the A/C adapter, but I was worried that that might mess something up with my luck. LOL.
You can't use the iPhone\iPad chargers as most of them don't comply with the USB charging standard (It will only charge at 500ma, the limit of USB charging).
You said it died quicker than usual as well? Sure nothing is running that drains the battery? Check the battery usage in settings after leaving it unplugged a while and see if you see anything that's using a ridiculous amount of battery.
I've had the same problem. Sometimes I plug mine into a wall charger and it reads Charging (USB) which may be your problem. Other times it reads Charging (AC).

It's been off of the charger for about an an hour and a half and nothing out of the norm is draining the battery. Screen on time is at 40%, but that's because I was reading all of my sports news and stuff from my device.
Interesting thing to note: I'm at 79% on my Nexus 4 after about an hour and a half unplugged and doing regular browsing. I'm at 98% on my 4s with doing just about the same things as I've done on my Nexus 4, and even watching a YouTube video on my 4s. I've also had a great deal of voice calls and texts this morning to my iPhone. They were neck and neck when I first got my N4 on December 10th. Now, it's dying faster. The only difference is that I've installed Spotify on my Nexus 4 since then... Which isn't running.
