hi guys.last week i updated my RA1 to RA2 UK generic rom.i noticed charging process continues after %100.like battery is not full.funny part i am leaving my phone to charge when i am getting to sleep.so it stay in charge like 7 hours.charging progress shouldnt have finished in 7 hours?i didnt have this problem in RA1 UK generic rom.am i doing something wrong or has someone got same problem.please help.thanks a lot in advance
It continues to charge as the battery depletes. As always, if the device is on, it will be using energy.
how can you tell it's still charging?
i use LvmTopBat, when the bar is green, it's not charging, when purple it is
can you make sure?
also do you charge using USB or Wallmount charger?
to the prev post,
even if the phone is on, it should stop charging at a certain level (to prevent battery overcharging which might result fire or explosion), then continue when the battery reaches a certain percentage.
usually i put my device onto charger (Wall charger not USB) before i sleep, next morning the bar is green (which means it's not charging anymore).
cheers
hi,
pls. i have problem with charge battery with usb.
Sometimes it Works and sometimes it stops working, led blink orange, green, orange, green and battery status is still on the same level.
I have always allowed charge with usb – in menu is it checked.
Strange is, that it charge till now (and battery status is about 20% better – during this led was only orange), and in this time its blink again and doesnt charge (30 min. still the same level and led blink orange-green). Because it sometimes works i think the cable is OK or?
thx for help
Any suggestions?
I have the same problem
The charging is stop to 66% and i have use the battery Debug tool and also measure the same....
Strange thing
USB ports are rated sat 500mAh nominal and if you have a number in use then the available current can drop below the level needed to charge the phone and then the circuits can suck out the power from your battery draining it further.
Charge from wall socket and then from USB but don't do it at lower levels as you will continue to get the problem.
The knock on effect is that you may have damaged your battery by the charging process you have been subjecting it to.
Put it on charge and keep it on for as long as possible and then whenever you can to keep it at max capacity for when needed for longer periods.
A friend of mine just picked up a Droid X today and he's having problems.
First, the charger it came with doesn't appear to charge, there is no charging indicator light.
I attempted to use a number of USB chargers, the first from my HTC Hero, another from an iPad, and a third is a cheap Chinese AC charger with a USB port that I picked up for my EVO.
The only charger that turns on the green light on the top is the cheap Chinese one.
If I plug it into my computer, I can also get the green light to come on, but it doesn't appear to be charging it. When the phone is on using the cheap charger, the phone appears to work, but says on the lock screen to plug the phone in.
Further, the lock screen is not responsive. We let it charge with the phone off for about a half hour with the green light on, the phone boot up and had a little bit of life and the screen did work, then it suddenly turned off and won't boot past the Motorola logo (just flashes for a couple of seconds then disappears.)
So, whats the verdict? Hardware problem or is anyone else experiencing this? The phone did completely die, so I wonder if that caused a problem of some kind.
Do you have a Green light when charging with the phone off? Does the light flash red when it's on and charging?
Thanks for the help!
I plugged it into my home computer and nothing happened vs. being able to charge my computer and nothing. Although the phone was about half way charged before I plugged at work, vs 10-15% at home.
Mine didn't charge while plugged into my netbook, but does charge while plugged into my PC, and definitely charges while plugged into the wall charger.
Update: After using the wall charger and fully charging it, I connected the Droid X to my computer and it now syncs up. Maybe the amount of battery power matters?
I don't think the green blinking LED is a charging indicator. Mine charges without it....but I notice when I was charging it the first time, it was going off when I had an unread text message. Is everyone sure the green LED is supposed to be a charging indicator? Mine's charging right now according to the bar on top when I turn it on while it's plugged into my computer.
I'm having a charging issue with my car charger.
When I plug it in to the car the audio volume drops to almost inaudible and the voice commands don't respond anymore.
This is with all the volume sliders set all the way up.
I have to reboot the phone in order to get it to work again.
I've charged it connected to my PC at home and work and it works fine with those.
Wow, the OP totally describe my problem i had too. I went back to Verizon and got another battery. My first battery wouldn't charge above 50% and the second came with 80% and we tried charging it at the store and it never went higher than 80%.I read on another forum that the charging indicator only reads at every 10% intervals, so that may be the problem. The rep and I at Verizon was watching it to see if it would move up to 81% so we would know it was working(beside the bubbles moving animation) and it didn't and we gave up, I will see what happens when I charge it tonite with the AC plug for the first time.
So the green LED light is not a charging indicator. Apparently, there is no charging indicator at all.
We left the phone off and plugged in with the stock charger, no light, but it did gradually move up.
I did some searching on the Motorola forums and another user ran into the same issue, he said that leaving the phone off and charging it for an extended period of time solved the problem.
I have no idea what the green light meant when it was plugged into my cheap Chinese charger, it must have been nothing.
It wasn't a text message or any other kind of notification since it was on only when the phone was completely off.
Before he left with the phone it was up to 90%. A brief press of the power button brought the phones battery state up, but didn't boot the phone.
Hope this helps anyone else with issues. Just plug it in and let it sit overnight.
I had a similar issue the first day.after overnight charge all seems normal for day two.

The only charging indicator is the lock screen part if you just turn it on it will tell you at what point it is charged.

It will occasionally show 5% intervals when it gets below 20% (I've seen 20, 15, 10, and 5% intervals).
I've noticed my phone doesn't like charging from a computer while the battery is really low. Once it's had a little bit of a boost from the wall charger, it will charge fine off the computer.
I just changed to a new one today.a friend of mine is having the sand issues. As so did i. It seems its not the battery its a short on the ground on some phones. Its pretty awkward but it has only been a handful from a batch of thousands that were released. So were in good money.

When you said charge fast you're referring to wall charge? Car charge? Or usb charge?
Stock X
Hey guys,
Figured I'd swing over here and give this a bump for a buddy of mine. Seein if this may be a slightly common issue.
The situation(for him): All on stock phone NO ROOT
- No charge on wall/home charger. Shows charge indication but does not actually charge whatsoever.
- No charge using PC usb cord to charge.
Again everything is stock and not currently running any app killers or really anything out of the ordinary as I can tell. The only thing he has purchased and is running that I am aware of is Launcher Pro. The issue has been brought to the attention of Verizon which is his carrier and he just received his 4th phone! Honestly thats the only reason I'm posting an inquiry into this hear. A simple google search results shows others with similar issues(posted link at bottom). He has purchased a new battery and wall/home charger along with another USB cord. All 3 phones he has had produced the same issue with all of the charge accessories(4th phone just received so no tests as of yet, but i put money on it doing the same thing). Verizon has been willing to replace every phone so thats not a problem but seriously! Is that the only answer?
any help is appreciated in advance

There are two charging indicators, no lights! One is on the status bar, you'll see a lightning bolt through the battery meter, and on the lock screen it will say charging as well with a %.
Absolutely, yes sir. Both indicators(lightning bolt in battery, and battery charge indicators) light up and show charging. Although once phone is unplugged it will keep whatever the charge level indicates for a random amount of time usually between 1min-15mins then the battery indicator drops immediately and shows an almost dead battery. As in charge shows 80%, unplug and within mins phone shows 10%.
Also:
- There are no other indicators of charging other than those mentioned (as it should be).
- The phone connects to PC just fine for mass storage. Files transfer with no problems.
thanx again!
So... which one is it? First you say no indicators, and now there's indicators but it just doesn't hold charge. is VZW replacing the phone or the battery? sounds like a bad battery to me.
My apologies you are correct *edited post* i meant to say it does show charging as in you see the lightning bolt and everything even the battery icon fills to show a "fuller" battery although that stat drops almost immediately after unplugging.
As in replacements they replace the phone and battery as well. I know its the 3rd phone so far with the same problem.
Today my phone chrashed twice when starting navigation while on the car charger. Screen went black, battery charging icon appeared, red led showed. A second attempt gave the same result. I also noticed the LED shining red... was rather afraid. And decided to restart without the charger, start navigation, and no crash.
After unplugging the charger, the screen stayed on the battery icon for a while. I could reboot the phone with the power button.
It woked okay a few times before but maybe the battery charge state was different, or I started navigation before plugging the charger in.
So, I won't use that charger (Samsung CAD300UBE rated at 5V 700mA) again. But why would it crash? The phone running on just charger power (which is insufficient) and crashing - perhaps to prevent damaging the battery with shallow charge cycles? I estimate the charge left when this happened at 80%.
So be careful which charger you use. Does anyone have a similar experience?
Im having same issue, but my phone wont boot up.
Any fix?
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?
