So far my battery on my SGN 910F was good. I'm on official 6.0.1 version and phone wasn't rooted. Suddenly few days ago even when my phone was on a wall charger, battery discharge faster than charge when screen is on - battery percentage dropping when screen is on, no metter that phone is plugged int wall charger. Any suggestions?
Thx!

Could be a software glitch. Try performing a hard factory reset on your device.
Thanks for the tip, but I did factory reset just ten days ago. Everything was fine for a while and after 5-6 days I noticed that battery darining is faster than charging with screen on. I'm always using original wall charger. I try to disable fast charge and re-enable but still nothing...

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

are you charging on your pc/laptop or through a wall charger?

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..

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.

Hi,
I'm not sure if this has to do with a battery calibration issue, but my Nexus 4 has been charging only up to 75%.
Also, every time I plug in my charger, the battery history used to reset to 0 min. Now, the battery history has been on for 3 days without resetting. I'm guessing this is because the charge doesn't go all the way up to 100%. How do I fix this? I am on stock 4.2.2 and using the stock charger. Should I try using my Nexus 7 charger?
Thanks,
Nexusowner
Use different charger! Stock charger sucks! I had the same problem...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Let it drain all the way, until it shuts itself off. Plug it in and do not turn it on, let it charge all the way. The screen will display charging progress. If the screen is blank press and quickly release the power button to see the status.

Used my MyTouch 4G slide charger and it charged to 100% with the battery history reset. I must have a defective charger. Hopefully, Google will send me a charger and I won't have to RMA my whole phone...
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.

I think you should try both suggestions.
Also inform us what is the ROM and Kernel he is using.
Keep us updated.
My phone doesn't power on unless I connect it to a charger. As soon as I unplug the charger it shuts down. Without a charger it gets stuck in boot loop. The phone had no issues for a year. It suddenly started acting funny this morning.
Are you running a custom ROM on your device?
No. I have stock rom. I just factory reset my phone in recovery mode.

Have you replaced the battery yet?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Repacing the battery solved my issue. But I fail to understand what caused my battery to go bad? I have never left it plugged in for more than the required time as it already has a fast charger.

They go bad over time. Most li ion are only good for 600-1000 charges and then they start to fail. Some fail catastrophically. I leave mine plugged in overnight every night, use fast charge, wireless charge with an adapter, leave it in the hot sun and in the freezing cold - basically really hard on them. I just plan to replace them on a 6 month or so cycle. That's why I don't like non replaceable batteries. Had that on my nexus 5 and it died a slow death.
