I'm experiencing issues with turbo-charging. It doesn't indicate (like the stock rom) whether the device is turbo-charging or not. Is turbo-charging supported for Hexagon ROM? Does it show? Is there a workaround for it? Is it a bug? Please let me know.
Is it only the indicator that you mis, or is your phone really slow with charging?
Al the roms I tested have no issue with fast charging, only the indicator is not present in custom roms.
Your question is probably many times before answered, so try the search function or check this topic

Best thing to do is to download a charging monitor app like Ampere and check what current is being negotiated when you plug your charger in. For reference, 1500-2500 mA usually indicates Turbo charging (also, Ampere will detect your Turbo charger), but bear in mind that depends on your battery charge, how warm your battery is and whether your device is in use at the same time.
If you want the toast back, you could try the app as linked here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71341187&postcount=1571 , see if that works.

Ok, my cousin's phone has a charging problem. the led stays on red. I know ive seen this problem on the forum not too long ago but i cant find it. so can anyone please direct me to that thread or solve the problem. thanks a lot!
Here's a thread with similar problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=52105
One of the main things is that to charge the phone you must use the standard mains charger (1 amp output) and not the usb charger or any other charger. Often the battery needs a kick start to get going and may need a while before it starts charging - so be patient. If it does not at all after this prob dead battery and you need a new one.
lsnizzle: please use useful topic titles in future.
Remember, Lithium batteries shouldn't be allowed to run to 0% charge really, for their best health.

tonight i flashed a WP7 rom downloaded apps and what not. the battery meter seemed to be on par with what BatteryTools was saying.
Now her is what i noticed. When the phone was plugged in to the the wall the indicator light would flash green and orange, but whne its plugged into usb it stays lit up orange.
I was wondering is it receiving to much voltage? the phone can handle the power input, but how about the OS it self. i mean like the way it registers the voltage it is receiving?
jsut my input to see if we can get this fixed.
Btw a full batter would register anywhere from 4200 to 4500 in battery tools under battery voltage.
i am also going to try a brand new battery directly from HTC when it gets here, to see how that does.

Its also possible tha the driver could be having a moment and is refusing to charge the battery forwhat ever reason, because we dont know exactly how this driver works its unlikely we will ever have that fixed.

Voltage? USB has a 5v regulated supply as does a USB adaptor except its unregulated so plus or minus ~10%
all phones that use a USB connection have a 5V supply, and i think it very unlikely that MS would make a OS that cant handle the power, im not even to sure what you mean by that since its all done with hardware, the driver only dictates how full the battery is and at what point to cut off the charge, which as i have pointed out many many times, the driver ISNT for our device so there will be some odd happenings.
as for the current that doesnt make any difference, just alters how long it will charge i think what your seeing could be a faulty powersupply its also not beyond the reason of doubt that your power supply is dirty in to your home, meaning the voltage from the adaptor is also dirty which may fluctuate the output voltage
I'm running the latest build of cm7 (7.02 I think). I've noticed even though the indicator on the included charging cord turns green when the nook reaches 100% under menu and status it says my nook is still charging. I've tried other USB cords with the same result. My optimus v running cm7 indicates its not charging after reaching 100%. Is this normal and is the nook still in fact charging after its reached a full charge?
In which place do U see that is still charging?
When the cable sign goes to green it means its full.
It says it under settings, about tablet, status. Also if you have the elixir app it says its charging. I'm just wondering if its a bad idea to leave it plugged in after its charged if it indicates its still charging.
Also something that may be of note is I'm running the 4/24 test oc kernel. I'm not sure if the kernel handles the device charging or not.
If the AC adapter cools off, the NC has stopped quick charging. My charger gets warm during quick charge, but I'm not sure if it stays in quick charge mode until the NC is 100%. Probably not. Probably switches to a lower charge rate when near 100%. I am pretty sure that the battery's integrated chip controls charging & I don't suspect the the OS can interfere. The battery is designed to protect itself from overcharging.
Cheers,
kev
Thanks for the info. I do see the battery temperature drops some after reaching full.
I usually charge my phone using USB while in the office. At home, I'll use the supplied wall AC adapter.
I've noticed that even though I'm using the AC charger, the stock battery display will show Charging (USB), which is not the case. Power cycling the AC charger usually fixes it to show Charging (AC).
Have also noticed that in some instances when it's plugged into the AC charger, the charging status would switch between "charging" and "not charging". Very obvious in the notification battery icon, where I would see the lightning symbol appear and disappear, about every half second.
I think there's an issue with the AC charger, or maybe it's the charging circuit in the phone?
Anyone experienced something like this before?
Cheers

Sounds like a hardware issue. If you want to run the test yourself, you can try swapping the charger with another OEM Nexus 4 charger (don't try to get around this). But I'd contact Google about this if I were you.
Might be the stock charger if thats what your using i had the same prob and sometimes but battery would either stay on the same percent for a while or go down so chanhed the charger and its been working fine ever since i still use the stock box charger i just changed the cord
NEXUS⁴

i had similar issue..when plugged it shows charging/discharging..if charging it will be slow as hell..swap cable all good..
throw away the original cable try a different one..
Thanks. Will give it a shot and see how it goes.
Do you guys think this is a charging issue? Temp is very high but still continues to charge at AC level. I have switched out my power bricks and cable but still have the same result.

It is due to temperature I believe. I have observed this behavior closely for a long time, so I'm almost certain this is the cause. I've seen it on the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7. I can't tell you offhand the exact temperature they stop charging at, but I can tell you it's most likely between 50°-60° Celsius. You've got to let your devices cool off. It may be a pain, but it protects your hardware, so when it stops charging, your phone is saying "Hey partner, you think you could let me cool down for just a second? Is that too much for you or what? What's your problem, you dingdong?"..
... Or something like that. If that's not exactly what it says, it's very close.

Ah I see. Anyways, I have used my cousins nexus 4 and every time the temp goes over 38 degrees, the charge rate drops down to USB. Mainly why I asked haha. Yah its a pain from time to time LOl

Same here. Worked out for me it was a dodgy cable. Using the supplied cable through a laptop, I will also from time to time get the plugged/unplugged notification on the computer, which being audible made me realize how often it was happening.
The supplied charger brick now seems to work flawlessly with a different cable (ie, always says AC, no odd charging/not charging behaviour, etc).
Try that and see how you go.
I guess it's the cable. I've tried using a generic ebay cable and it appears to be working fine now.
What sort of mA values are you getting when using the stock AC charger?
Battery Monitor widget says that the phone's only getting around 500mA when I believe it should be getting more than that. I've enabled the USB fastcharge in the options. and have left everything at default. This is after waking up the phone from standby. Keeping the screen on drops the charge rate to 200mA thereabouts.
No music playing, 3G and connected to a wifi access point.
Hi all,
I have the stock 2.5A, 5.3V stock charger listed here for my ZUK Z1:
http://www.zukmobile.cc/zuk-mobile-phone-fast-charger.html
But the problem is it still takes around 2.5 hours and even more to fully charge whereas I've read that it should take 2 hours for a full charge. I have tested the ampere with different apps and it only draws around 1880mAh at most when the screen is off. Is it possible that my phone is locked at 2000mAh? Could it be possible that the charger adapter (because I had to use an adapter for pins) is preventing the device from drawing more than 2000mAh? I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
NO FASTCHARGE SUPPORT FOR OUR DEVICE!!!
You problem is cable for 60%/bad battary30%/bad hands10%
Thank you for the reply. Afaik, our devices support's fast charging. The Chinese variant comes with the above mentioned fast charger but the International version comes with a normal 2.0 Ampere charger. I just need to know why my phone is charging with normal speed rather than fast charging.
Which apps did you use to check? Because I checked my zuk with Ampere and I got 1.3- 1.4 mAh.. And I'm with the normal charger.. Is it weird?

First, note that when your device's screen is off, it'll draw more ampere for charging. Yes, I tried Ampere Pro among a bunch of other apps, none of which would record the charging draw while the screen is off. Fortunately, I tested Live Charging and for me this app is the best. It can measure the ampere even when the screen is off. Regarding your question, if it draws that much ampere when the screen is on, it's perfectly acceptable and normal.
