I've seen reports saying it charges 0 to 100 in afternoon 60 minutes but it takes me that much if I have like 30%
Also I plug my phone in at 930 this morning and fell asleep until my alarm woke me up at 11am and the phone just finished charging.
Have you tried changing plug points? Mine charges really fast. Never noticed any inconsistencies

Hi there! I just bought a Cingular 8525 Unlocked phone and absolutely love it! After having it for two weeks, so far i have upgraded to the 2600mah extended battery and i am currently using PDACorner v20 rom (nonRBSN)
Now to my question, is it bad for the phone i keep plugging it in randomly throughout the day on the charger or USB? I upload files sometimes and i just leave the phone plugged in the computer or I would sometimes charge the phone when it hits 70% and unplug when done and would charge again before going to bed.
Also, is it ok if i leave the phone on the charger even if the light turns green? sometimes charging would be done around times when im knocked out....and usually dont unplug it until i have to leave.
Thanks for your help/replies.

Well, I don't think that's such an easy question to answer. There have been the following reports:
1
Attempting to charge the battery with either PC USB or non approved charger (500mA) if the phone has less than 10% charge can lock up the charging circuit and result in a Red no charge LED showing.
2
Leaving the phone on charge overnight for example can result in the curious situation of having a flat battery and RED LED showing in the morning.
3
In general problems can result if 500mA 5v chargers are used instead of the 1000mA official charger - particularly if they are used when phone charge is low.
Now despite all the above, I regularly charge overnight without problems - and clearly that means the green LED is on for most of the night. I frequently top up the phone with the PC USB and do sometimes use a non standard charger. I have only ever had the RLOD red light of death once and was able to kick start it eventually.
I generally do not let the phone fall below 20% - but even when it does I have had no problems.

Thanks for the reply. I never let the phone fall below 40% so i should be ok on that. But when i bought the extended battery it came with a wall charger but its 500mA.....im guessing its ok for the battery since it was packaged with it.
But i might look into buying a charger from ATT. Leaving it charged till i wake up should be ok then....thanks!
Hi,
I have a really weird problem with my Nexus 4 for a few weeks now:
I connect it to a charger and it tells me it's charging, it even goes up to 100%, however, it doesn't actually charge. At some point a few minutes after disconnecting from the charger the battery percentage suddenly drops to a low value (somewhere around where I would expect it to be without charging).
As example what I mean here are some things that happened during the last few days:
One day I had it connected to my turned off PC (USB provides power anyways) and the next day it was turned off and when connected to a power socket charger it showed 0%.
Yesterday evening I plugged it in and after a few hours unplugged it because it showed 100%, this morning it then showed 30% (it's highly unlikely the battery drained this much doing nothing in 6 hours).
About one hour ago I rebooted it because it was only showing 13% (I "charged" it about 1 hour, before that it showed 10%) and after that it said the battery has 2% left.
However, sometimes it actually charges, but since I can't tell the difference between charging and fake charging it's starting to really piss me off.
The charger is not the problem, my Nexus 7 charges whenever it is connected to the charger and also it didn't work when connected to my PC either.
Is the firmware capable of interfering with the loading process (I have AOKP installed) or is the Nexus 4 simply damaged?
Any other idea what could be the cause of this problem?
EDIT: As previously said it says 2%, but it definitely isn't at 2% for real since it's like this for hours now. This sucks...

You can try to wipe batterystats.
I got my G2 like amonth ago, lost the USB cable that came with phone the first day. Bought long cable off ebay and I am using it with wall charger that came with the phone. The problem is yesterday when I got up (I usually leave my phone charging overnight) it was at 75%. This morning when I got up it was 27% and it was charging all night. Checked battery usage graph and it shows like phone was not charging at all tho there is a sing in notification bar that it is charging. Tried few other chargers from S3 and S4. Doesn't matter what charger I plug in it estimates that battery will be charged to full in 30 HOURS. Can anyone help me how to fix this ?
Thanks
Today my phone ran down to 0% and it shut down. When I got home I plugged the charger in at around 5pm. Now almost 7 hours later it is still not fully charged. This has never happened before.
Do you know what could be causing it to take so long?
It is plugged in to the wall.
Thanks.
either the phone is not charging at full rate or is discharging very fast. I would try to charge with phone being off, monitor battery discharge during day especially in IDLE and take it from there. You can also download program that shows charging rate.
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.
