Just left the phone run down to 2% and plugged it in! It took 1hr and 30 mins to reach 100% (no idea if thats the norm or a tad longer then usual given the phone was switched off) The interesting thing was that at 100% the led didn't turn green and the phone appeared to still be charging! It took a further 20 minutes for the phone to actually show the fully charged symbol and the led to turn green! Whats the deal with that??

my nexus charging light used to turn green when it has 96 or 98%....
but now it turns green when it is 90 %. and yesterday, it was 97 and i took it off and plugged it in again after like 30 mins. it was still green, and batt % was 94. but even though it was plugged in, it was discharghing. while it was plugged in it went down to91 from 94 in another half hour.
i did recaliberate the battery according to cyanogens post...
i dunno whats going on..
HELP..!!
I'm pretty sure that's normal. My bone stock AT&T/Rogers N1 has always gone green at 90%.
They've always gone green at 90% when the phone is plugged in and turned on.
If they're plugged in and turned off they go green later apparently.
but mine used to turn green when it is like 96 or 98...
but it just started to be like this this week..!

Maybe your battery meter was miscalibrated before and now it is properly calibrated.
i think you just remember it wrong, because my nexus has ALWAYS turned green at 90%, from the first day i bought it brand new.
Completely normal behavior.
Green between 90 and 100, was miscalibrated before I think
I agree with the above posters that it does go green at 90%.

I bought new HD2.
I have this phone for 4 days.
I think sth is wrong with my battery - 100%, I make a 4 min call, suddenly I have 96%. Another call - 10 min - 89%.
A tried many things, tricks mentioned here on the forum. Didnt help.
(HR, clean system without programs, took out micro sd cards - nothing changed).
Today I ve tried to charge it (from 2%) - I turned off the phone - wait 4 hours. Still amber light. But when I turn on the phone (still connected to a charger) light changed to green (and i saw 100% status battery on taksbar), then i turned off again, and green light changed again to a amber light.
Have you the same?
Or that means I have corrupted battery?
Ive been on many forums, and i see people saying - battery is for 1 or 2 days, and another group - battery for 8-10 hours.
Be grateful for your ansewers - I dont know what to do.

After 4 hours of charging the battery should be about full. But it why not charge it all night? If the phone is new you should charge it a longer for the first couple of times. And the battery could drain faster the first few times.
You didn't mention if you turned on Wifi, bluetooth, data connection, GPS, 100% screen brightness, heavy apps. All of them might drain your battery faster.
the longest i have personally experienced, and I am currently still opn this status, is that one single battery charge lasted me 4 days. While draining about 5-10% each day.
How tho? I simply dont know! to be honest, I somehow managed to screw up my today screen so I can have no htc sense on and sometimes nothing on.
anyway about the battery charging, I suggest you to read this.
dunno where I got it from and real or not, it might just help you
good luck

Thx for your answers.
But tell my about this indicator - green and amber lights.
I turns green only when I charge battery and phone is ON.
But when I charge battery while phone is off, then i can wait 3-4 ours it's still amber (but when I turn on phone suddenly it changes to green and it shows 100%).
The four hour charge - was that with the charger or USB computer charging?
I can do full charge in 1.5 hours from the charger and over 4 hours on the USB computer charging.
ok, it donest matter - usb or cable.
matters - phone ON or phone OFF.
When phone is on - turns green.
When off - it is all the time amber (red) - using USB or cable, doesnt matter. But when i turn on the phone it changes to green. when i turn off, it changes to amber again.
My battery says 100%, then I turned it off and plugged it back in and the indicator was still white. Huh?

The anorexic manual says Green is 95% or higher. Maybe the indicator had a margin of error or somehow used up 5% of its power cycling (which would be unfortunate)?

I'm not sure of the level that Motorola uses, but with Cyanogenmod 7 on my Droid Incredible the charging light turns green at 90%. Maybe this is a standard Android value???
I seem to be flying through my battery, but I HAVE been doing a ton of stuff. Even playing games via bluetooth and hdmi on my big tv... I'll leave it off and plugged in for an hour and thirty minutes and see if the indicator changes color. Still white at the moment.
EDIT - At full, 100% charge (tells me so when it's on), my LED is White. Someone please verify their LED colors for me...
During charge mine is white/blue. When it reaches 95ish percent it turns green.
Regardless of when the charge indicator turns white, green, etc like many other mobile devices the battery gauge may not be all that accurate. When the battery gets to a certain point, charging stops and discharging begins again. After a discharging for a while, charging may begin again. The amount of charge shown may depend on where you catch it in the cycle. Unplugging it after it becomes green and then plugging it in again causes a "bump charge". This is fairly common behavior and hardly exclusive to the xoom.
If you want to really know what is going on, I suggest using this free android utility / widget...

is yours the 3g or wifi xoom?
I've now found that I'm getting between 10-12 hours of heavy usage, probably. I was playing games and surfing and playing music for 6 hours last night and I wound up at 50%. So I guess I can ignore the LED thing, I guess. It turns red when the inner camera is on.
Hello everyone!
this time i've weird problem with my new gene HTC P3400i having windows 6 professional.... As my daily routine i put my phone on charging at night around 2AM and unplug the charger when i wake up around 7AM till then phone gets fully charged from 5% to 100% but one day when i woke up and unplug the charger it was only 22% i thought may be charger was unplugged so i put my phn again on charging and gone to do my work, after around 3hours when i saw the phn it was on again 22% but phn was showing charging i was curious like wat happened to phn, then switched off my cell and plugged in for charging but again after one hour when i switched it on it was on 22% :| i unplugged it and went out and saw that battery was draining very fast... 22% then 20% and so
on and withint 15min it was on 2%, i was out for around 5-6hours and my
phone was still alive with 1% charge remaining then atlast it died.. i tried to switch it on 5-6 times but it start goes to boot screen then windows logo and red service light and turns off....
end of phase 1
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
i reached home plugged phone for charging and after around 15min turned it on... now the problem begins.... when i turned it on it goes till windows logo with red light and switch off on its own... i again tried switching it on with charger still plugged but it doesnt respond i tried 10-15 times but of no use... i left it there for a while and again swithced it on again the whole process started till windows logo and red light and switch off... then again no response.... i thought may be battery died(well i dont think coz suddenly battery cant die on
its own when it was giving stamina for 1day for a 2year Old GENE).. so i went to buy new battery and switched it on and it worked like as usual but i noticed that battery was draining very fast in front of my eyes.. i plugged in for charging and it was charging fine when it was 100% i unplugged the charger and suddenly i saw that charging meter went to 89% :| :| i tried plugging it again and again unplugging but this time 77% :| i thought may be there is a problem with battery itself so replaced my batery with new one and again plugged it in phone and switched on this time i thought it is fine and plugged it in for charging but again the same problem when i unplugged charging meter went to 90% and subsequently battery drainage... :|
and yeah one more thing i noticed is when i plugged charger without battery the service light shows red light blinking very very fast however with normal phone it should be like call, end buttton and amber light shows up for one time and gone....
Can anybody help me out with this ... please help me this time :| :|
charging problem
hi buddy
this problem because of your charger either u r using a duplicate charger or another charger having different frequency..
all u have to do first bring the charge of your battery to zero and then use a original charger its temporary problem i have also met this thing 3 or 4 times ... don't panic it will be resolved...
enjoyyyy
Finally receieved my Nexus 4 after almost 2 months waiting, but not really enjoying it right now.
Received it yesterday, unpacked it and I couldn't turn on the phone. So I've connected the cable into the charger and a light showed up.. After 30 min I saw a battery icon and after 1 hour I could turn up the phone.
When turned on, it showed 3% battery, so I let it charge for about 5 hours. While charging I've noticed something strange.. it was charging very slow. After 4h of charging it was showing just 16% battery and 1h later it was suddenly at 70%. After it got till 99% I unplugged the charger and tried to use the phone.
Everything worked till I wanted to restart it. The phone doesn't want to start up! Pressing the powerbutton for 20-30 seconds.. nothing happens. Tried the volume button combination.. nothing. Plugged it into my PC and after 10 min the battery icon showed up?! The battery was at 0%! The battery went from 99% to 0% just by turning it off!
I've let the phone charge again, this time the whole night (7 hours).. It was fully charged at 100%. I disconnected the charger and turned off the phone.. and again: a black screen.
I've Googled and searched everywhere but couldn't find 1 thing.. what could be the problem of this? How can my phone go from 100% to 0% by turning it off?
I have no idea what is going on but you need to contact google asap, they'll send a replacement and hopefully the new one isn't a dud.
If you want to try playing with it, plug the phone into a different charger with a different cable, let it charge overnight/12hrs and give it another shot it could be a bad cable/charger (to be honest I think this is a long shot.)
Really sounds like a hardware problem.
Your only option is RMA.
