Hi all,
I have this weird glitch where the amount of charge in the phone and the amount of charge the phone is displaying are totally off. My phone was at 3% and I turned it on and plugged in the turbo charger while it was booting up and my g5 plus showed that it is at a 100%. Now it is draining the battery quickly. I have experienced this problem 3 times in the past. Please leave any suggestions about what I should do .

I left my phone charging overnight via the wall charger. Battery registered at 1% when I started the charge.
When I woke up this morning I had a large low battery icon on the screen and the phone won't turn on. I disconnected the charge, tried charging with another charger but everytime it shows the SAMSUNG logo, then the large low battery icon.
I tried removing the battery, cleaning the charger port terminals, swapped out different USB cords, everything but a hard reset.
No matter what I do the phone will not start up.
Has anyone experienced this before, or possibly no how to resolve it?

Happened to me several times (on both my focuses Rogers and AT&T), and I came to the conclusion it's a bug somewhere in the phone or the battery. I'm not sure exactly where the problem is (software, hardware) but I can tell you how I fixed it.
What happens is, the battery is almost depleted, it actually is 1%. The phone incorrectly reads that thinks it's charged fully and doesn't allow further charging the battery. So, you're not able to charge the battery correctly.
Now, as I previously stated in some other posts, I recommend having a standalone charger (Samsung i9000 ones are compatible are very cheap) as well as a secondary battery. The depleted battery gets charged fine in the standalone charger and when it passes 5% charge, it can be charged fine (again) in the phone.
This doesn't happen often, I believe it happened 5 times in more than 300 charging cycles (2 phones x 150 charges, I have them for over a year) so it's not that common.
I also found that it *may* work if you charge the battery in another phone.
As a general thumb rule, it's important not to leave the battery to completely discharge, and connect the charger/usb when it reaches about 40% (when you can, ofc). Please refer to my post here to see how you can preserve battery life.
Hello,
to all of you.
I have Note 4, I use OEM charger that came with mobile to charge the phone, some days ago, I noticed a strange problem I plugged the charger into the phone, after half an hour I checked the phone, the phone and the charger was very much hot and the percentage of the battery was just increased very little(from 10% to 21%), also the phone was very little responsive on that time, I immediately unplug the charger and restart the phone, after restarting the battery percentage increased suddenly(around 73%), I switched off the phone, after a day same thing happened again but this time, the phone's temperature is normal but the charger is overheated also the battery percentage was not increased and the phone is very little responsive, and now just some minutes ago this happened again, the charger was very much hot and battery percentage was very less after half an hour of charging and phone was very little responsive.I restart the phone and battery percentage increased suddenly.What would be problem? Is it with the charger or battery or with the phone? Please reply soon, as the warranty on accessories is about to expire.
Thank You.

So as the title indicates, for whatever reason the nexus 4 is discharging after reaching 100% on the wireless charger. Now, this would be fine if it continued charging after it drains to a certain battery percent, but sadly that is not the case. When I take my Nexus 4 off of my wireless charger in the morning, I see that it has been 'on battery' for 7+ hours, and the battery is usually between 70-80% which isn't enough for me.
If it helps, here is some information that may be useful:
-My nexus 4 is rooted on 4.2.1
-My wireless charger is called "MoKo Qi Wireless Charger 3-Coil Charging Pad"
-I've tried restarting my phone, but the issue persists
-The wireless charger works at full speed with no issue (apart from the charger turning off when the phone is at 100%, and only removing and putting the phone back on it will turn it on)
Now, I've seen some threads where people say their phone isn't at 100% when they take their phone off, but they mentioned that their phone starts charging when it discharges to a certain percent (say, 95% or something) but sadly mine does not.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in Advance!

Edit: If it helps with anything, the charger makes a faint 'ticking' sound every half a second ONLY when the phone has reached 100% and continues ticking until I remove the phone. The ticking sound persists even while the phone is draining overnight on the charger. I have also tried to test if letting the phone reach 100% then draining the battery while it is on the charger by leaving the screen on changes anything, but it seems it doesn't matter whether the phone is 'awake' or not.

I don't understand the problem. Are you reporting fast discharging of your phone after 100% has been reached? Or you are reporting that it doesn't start to charge again when the phone drops from 100% to 95% or whatever?
In the second case I suppose that your Charger works in this way, and nothing can be done.

It would be the latter, the phone doesn't start to charge again when the phone drops from 100% to like 80-90% overnight. And something CAN (and HAS) been done, I hooked it up to a $10 Woods Model 50001 Indoor 24 hour mechanical timer, and made it turn on/off every 30 minutes during the night/morning. It works perfectly now, my phone is always at 99-100% when I wake up since it doesn't idle for 7+ hours, maximum it ever idles is 30min.
I was just wondering if it was an issue with all chargers, or is it just an issue with my phone... I'll test it with my brother's nexus 5 some time and see if it still happens (without the mechanical timer).
So, I'm using the OEM charger that came with the phone. For the past 2 months the phone wasn't charging properly. It says it's rapidly charging, but the estimated time left was showing anything between 3 and 6 hours. In reality the phone charged to a 100% in about 3 hours. At first I thought my power outlet was the problem because it didn't behave this way every time. For that past 2 weeks it always charges slowly and sometimes even drains my battery. Last night I plugged it in and the phone had 40% battery, when I woke up the notification light was blinking red and the phone was off.
I think my charger is the culprit because the battery life is fine. Should I buy a new charger and if yes, what charger do I get because I can't find an original one anywhere ?
Thanks in advance.
Hello XDA community,
THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS ONLY WHEN MY PHONE IS TURNED OFF.
Recently, I have had a problem with charging my Nokia 5 when it is turned off. Once it reaches 84%, It stops getting charged but the battery health value on the charging screen remains increasing until it reaches 100%. So when I turn it ON, I find that the battery is only at 84%. I have tried to deplug the charger and plug it again, and It seems that the phone shows up the right value of the battery this time and continue charging until it reaches the true 100% value.
So to summarize, un order to fully charge my phone while it is turned off, I need to re-plug the charger after the first charge phase.
Does anyone suffer from this issue?
