Sorry if that was asked here before...
Now and then( not every time) my N4 doesn't charge to the end...it usually stops at 77% - and that's after being connected to the charger for over 5-6hours at night...
Anyone else has same problem??
Thanks

same thing happen to me in my samsung galaxy y and the problem is the battery, try to replace your battery
Have finally noticed what is happening..
Phone stops charging few times a second...
Have noticed it when it was making low battery sound when charging from 2%...moving cable around did not help at all so it seem it is not USB socket in the mobile.
Same was happening this morning after I came to the mobile to unplug it from charger...don't have other cable to checkvif it is cable problem...but it doesn't happen all the time...

Odin, see if that works first
I have had the same problem happen when I was running an app called powermax and trying to charge at the same time. Turned the app off and charged just fine. A friend of mine had this exact same issue with the same app.
It is chargring a little bit bit now but only bit but at snails pace and if I am using it It does not charge is it port or battery

Hi guys, I received my Nexus this Monday and I'm loving it but I noticed something weird today.
So last night put my phone on charge at around 17% and used it for about 30mins.i checked how much it had charged via the battery indicator in the notification bar and it still showed only 17% even though the battery bar had the thunder bolt through it.
Ok so the phone has been on charge all night, approx 8 hours. To my surprise its only 67% now! Still showing the charging battery icon. I don't understand what is going on?
Can anyone tell me what's up?
I'm currently still using my HTC Desire HD charger.
Thanks

I think the problem was my usb extention! Bummer, now I gotta deal with a short wire till I find a longer one. I'll report back if the problem persists

R: Weird battery charging.....
I had a similar issue tonight.
I plugged in the usb cable with 9% of battery left (stock charger),and the
battery icon became instantly 100% (full charge!) in about 4 seconds...:what:
So i left it in charge for all night,and an hour ago (6:15),it was showing 78% (???).
I have never experienced something like this before...

This has been reported more often. It's pretty odd, seems something in the battery controllers goes a bit nuts. I hope it's simply a software/firmware thing.
My N4 hasn't displayed this behaviour over the month that I've had it for.
Gotta say I haven't experienced this yet but thanks for your post

Stock charger sucks, It has deep problems. I noticed last night, I connected the charger and under settings/battery it showed as USB charging. Using franco kernel app, I forced fast charge, woke up like 4 am and phone charged 5% (4 hours later). I unplugged, disable fast charge and now it charges fast as a regular standard charger.
I was using my old blackberry charger, since stock is really bad, it's being blamed even to the red light of death... I don't know..
R: Weird battery charging.....
I've searched for some infos,and found this:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery
Look at the "Charging" section.

Just as an update, my phone has been charging pretty well since I removed the usb extention cable. I have invested in a 2 meter length micro usb cable and hopefully that will deal with my need for a longer cable and not hinder my night time charging. I'll let you guys know how it goes
Thanks neo for your research....

Same hapend to me, when phone got discharged, dead instantainly...
So i RMA..
I too decided to try a usb extension as the wire was too short for me..
Since ive started using the extension by battery or battery reporting has really been weird.
Sometimes itll say USB charging although it is still through AC
It will take like 6 hours to charge
And battery reporting and discharging will be completely off

Yesterday I had the Nexus (with 30% battery left) connected to my pc's usb to charge it,after 5 seconds,it shows "Full charge"...:what:
So i decided to left it connected...and after 10 minutes,all returned normal,charging became normal starting from 35%...
Weird,but I think all this is normal,cause of the Li-po battery nature.

This has been happening to me and unplugging it and plugging it back in usually fixes it.

Since i updated my device to 4.2.1 charging my nexus 7 really get slow..... It takes 6 hours to 7 hours to fully charge. Im using the cable and charger that it came from the unit.
Is there a fix for this one? Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
AW: Is there a fix for slow charging issue?
Check whether the device charges in USB mode. It can happen for some reason I don't know. In this mode it charges much slower. I once had it happen when on AC.
It's on AC. It takes 6 hrs to fully charge from empty. =(

What do you mean by rebooting it? I have the same charging problem. It needs about five to six hours for me to charge fully. How did you solve it? Is it really the problem of android 4.2.2?
Just try rebooting it or restart the device while charging. Im using battery widget reborn app, to see how many hrs left to make my nexus 7 to be fully charged.
Here's what i do,
Plug the charger then check after 2 mins on the app battery widget reborn how many hrs left to be fully charged, if it's says more than 4 hrs or greater than that. Hit the power button and restart your device. Once the device booted up, check the remaining time left on charging if it's improved to 3 hrs or less to fully charged your device.
Try it. It's working fine for my nexus 7.

I tried the app you mentioned. But the remaining time it indicates isn't equivalent to the real time used. Maybe this app doesn't work for my device, it still needs four to five hours for my nexus being fully charged. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Or you may try to go to bootloader, then turn it off.. Unplug the charger, then put it back in then turn on your device.. It works for me.

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?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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.
My friend recently bought an imported nexus 4 from eBay(on my advice). He's having a strange a problem. The device works normally till the battery drains below 50%. But then it suddenly turns off and doesn't turn back on again. When he connects the charger, it's stats charging from 0% again. The charging process is also normal.
Anyone had this type of problem?

Whats the rom and kernel?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Try charging it to 100%, disconnect charger, reboot and check if it already lost some charge during reboot. If yes charge full again.
I had something similar (not a total drop, but a fast drop when below 50%) a few days ago and this helped. I don't know why, though.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I think you should try both suggestions.
Also inform us what is the ROM and Kernel he is using.
Keep us updated.
