[Q] Nexus 4 Charging Issues...Both Wired and Wireless (more than AC vs USB complaint)

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.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2012) battery issue

Hi, I bought N7 (2012) 16 GB in December 2013 and suddenly it's charging went slow. At times, it just charges 5% after plugging in for 5-6 hours. I've no idea what's happening with it. Any clue?

Same here.
E.g. last night I turned it off at appr. 30%, plugged in the charger and in den morning it was at about 50%.
I am on PACman Rom 22.1.0

there has many issues about fast battery drain after kitkat especially about N7. There is no definite fix for this but you can try not to let it decharge under %30-35 because the lower battery is the longer it charges.. good luck with pluging and unpluging the charger a few times in out in out , it helps they said.

No, my case is something else. Everything was working fine and this problem happened suddenly one day. At times, while charger is plugged in, if I play game, battery starts to drain even when it's charging. There has to be some problem with the battery but I ask why did this happen and that too suddenly.

Get gsam from play store and see what's eating your battery. Or post screens here.
If you're rooted, you need gsam root companion as well. Shows more details then.
Otherwise we're all just guessing.

Mine started doing that just yesterday. I updated twrp today and did a wipe of everything, went to reboot, now it will not turn on at all. Won't even charge. I got it to turn on finally but it won't go back into recovery. Just gets stuck on the part when you first turn it on.

Here's something crazy! I unplugged the battery for a few hours, plugged in the power cable, tried turning it on (didn't work for obvious reasons lol), then plugged the battery pack in. Now it's charging fine and was able to boot into recovery.

Nexus 7 Not charging properly since CM11

I've had an original Nexus 7 since it was release and had kept it stock. However it was running really slowly, after suffering that for months I finally got time to look at sorting it.
I decided to root it and put on a new ROM. I choose CM11. I downloaded and installed CM11 M5 along with GAPPS. After installing it the updated to CM11 M12.
I set the nexus up yesterday with all the different apps I needed etc. I also installed the apex launcher and altered the DPI to 160 using the rom toolbox.
I noticed however that the battery was decreasing whilst I was using it even though I had it plugged into my laptop. I don't normally charge it this way so ignored it. When I had finished the battery was down to 16% so I put it on the dock and left it overnight. When I looked at it this morning it had powered off, it switched back on but only showed 2% and quickly turned back off again. I took the lead out of the dock and plugged it into the nexus and left it. When I came back later it was up to 16%. During the day it has been used some of the time (whilst plugged in) and left on charge the rest of the time. My daughter was just using it and it powered off so flat again.
With the stock ROM it charged quite quickly and would have to be doing some intensive gaming etc to use more battery than it was charging but since the ROM update just general use flattens it quicker than it can charge and charging is taking much longer.
I was using an ipad plug with the dock and the original ASUS lead, but I have tried the original ASUS plug and the original lead but it has made no difference.
Please don't tell me I'll have to go back to stock as it is so much faster now - it doesn't lag any more and I've spent ages setting it all back up as I wanted it with separate user profiles etc!
Is there an easy fix? I've done a bit of reading about fastcharge kernels but have no idea if CM11 has one but then I read that the fastcharge only affects charging from a PC USB port?

Oneplus two charging way too slowly

So this problem first started when I first flashed boeffia's kernel on top of the official cyanogenmod. The only thing i changed was the kcal settings (I like a little over-saturation). But, since then, my oneplus two charges very slowly no matter what i do. I even set the charging current to 1250 in the app, but still, it was taking almost 5-6 hours to charge fully; and even then, it would not go to 100%, but stay at 92-94 and stop charging altogether. Tried draining the battery, deleting the batterystats file, nothing.
Frustrated, I switched to Resurrection Remix today, a rom that ran perfectly in the past. Plugged the phone into the wall, apps updating over LTE. after a few minutes, I saw the percentage dropping from 36 to 33 and just staying there.
Currently the phone is off, and the battery has only gone up to 12% from 10% in the last 30 minutes.
Anyone ever face this problem? Any help at all would be much appreciated.
P.S. I only flashed the rom and Gapps(mini). nothing extra.
edit- It's been two hours now and the battery's at 18%
edit 2- Battery at 20% after 3 hours. I've turned on the "show battery percentage on lockscreen" in RR. Now I don't know how accurate that is, but it's showing "charging at 1500 mAh/hour max". Now I'm literally pulling my hair at this.

I faced a similar problem after flashing dirty unicorns
Well i solved it by clean flash oxygen os 3.0.2 and changing the charging adapter it solved my problem and i flashed other roms like bean stalk.rr i dint have charging issue anymore

Trying to flash OOS 3.1.0 now... Also, I noticed, after leaving the phone plugged in, the percentage at the charging screen said 43%, but after turning it on, it was just 27%. So it's just a software side problem. Just maybe. It ain't easy getting reliable usb-c cables where I live.
P.S.- did you fully discharge/charge again after flashing? Also, nowadays we can directly flash OOS from CM with the official TWRP, right? (Haven't tried OOS in 6 months)

followup- Flashed OOS 3.1.0. Still not solved. Charging still too slow.
Also, since I have access to engineering mode (#808#), I can see that the phone is charging at an avg of 220mA from the wall.
Is my cable busted?
Currently it's going up 1% an hour(while off)
If the cable is indeed busted, can someone suggest an replacement? Idon't seem to be able to find any in amazon India.

I clean flashed the oos rom. charged it all night when morning it was 100 percent i did a battery calibration which u can find in playstore.i let the battery to drain with normal usage now i changed the charging adapter i think its 2.4amp charger i dont think there is problem with usb cable.its charging at normal speed if screen off will charge fast like 10-100 percent in 2 hrs

Guys stop wasting time flashing go directly to the cable/carger.
Battery calibration is practical useless

Solved. It was the cable. Tried a MI5 cable and "pass" finally showed up in engineering mode.
Have contacted service, will get a replacement later this week

Lenovo K6 Note charging issues

Hi guys,
Recently I've noticed that while charging my phone, sometimes it charges normally (that is 2h14mins to full), but sometimes it changes randomly to some weird 4 hours or so. Estimated charge time changes during one charge randomly. I am on nougat 228, using original charger that came with the phone, plugged to a wall, not using the phone during charging. Also, I have heard about this battery calibration method, can it fix this issue? Not sure whether nougat update could have caused it.
PS: The phone is new, like a week old.

My phone has got the same problem, also if phone is turned off it will take a long to charge, did you find a solution?
