im running cm7 with there stock kernal and my charge indicator light is green but "android system info" and my lock screen both say i have 92% battery left but when i plug the phone in it shows the thunderbolt icon showing its charging, b ut still have the green light... im sorry if this is out here in the threads already i looked for a little bit but couldnt find the answer so if its out there you could send me the link or if im able to ill delete my post
ok while writing this its up to 94%
so why is my charge light green?
EDIT: ok so i found a post where someone was asking the same thing about the G1 and everyone said there phones do it also but no explanation why so if anyone knows why it does this let me know...
thanks
Its just a setting with CM7 they have it set to when you get to 90% it turns green instead of most other ROMS when its only green at 100

Apologies for another not charging thread, i have tried searching for a similar issue but no luck.
I put my DHD to charge as usual last night at around 40%, the charge LED lit up and the battery icon was showing that i am charging.
When i woke this morning, the charge LED and battery icon were still showing that i should be charging yet the phone now only has 33% battery, so clearly hadnt charged. I checked current widget and when the LED and icon show charging i only seem to be getting anywhere between a reading of 40mA and 270mA. With an occasional 300-400mA reading.
I seem to be able to intermittently get the phone to charge and the batt icon to rise by a percent or two but then it seems to stop again. As i am in work at the moment i am having to charge via USB from my PC. Therefore i am currently unable to try another micro USB charger and see if it is indeed the charger or the phone.
Has anyone else had a similar issue, says it charging but it not??
Or anyone have any ideas of a solution??
If it matters i am currently using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB. Id rather not have to return it to HTC as i am unsure of how to return the phone to default easily so it could be repaired on warranty.
Thanks in advance,
James
Firstly, download CurrentWidget, set refresh to 15 seconds, and make sure you set it to display battery voltage. If it is showing around 4200mV, it is charged, and you have a problem with the battery gauge.
To double check, turn off your phone, and see if the light goes green at 100%.
Boot back up, just to see if a reset fixes it.
If not, reboot into recovery, and wipe battery stats (or do it properly, turn off, wait until light is green, wait another hour, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats).
Turn back on, and see if the problem is sorted.

So I have been flashing alot of roms lately, been trying them all out. Just installed StarskyRom, and noticed that when my phone is turned off and I hook it up to the charger, the screen freezes when the battery load screen pops up.
Its the screen that comes up just prior to the battery level screen.... you know... the screen that freezes for a split second before the actual battery meter shows up. It just freezes at that point, and doesnt allow me to read the green charge level of the battery.
So anyways my keys stay lit up when its like this, or it wouldnt be that big of a deal.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Could a rom have done this?
Some people experience this on ei22. Try nomoarpowah from the market.

Hello there guys hope everyone is well and having the same great weather as England has (surprisingly! ).
I've been watching as I've been flashing ROM's, and when I am calibrating the battery, I never seem to get a green light UNLESS I pull the lead and connect it again... I can leave it for 4 hours, pull it and it goes green,
I can leave it for 8 hours, not green, pull it and it goes green,
TODAY, I left it for 11 hours, it still wasn't green until I pulled the lead and reconnected.
I know its not a CWM issue, I am on 5.0.2.0 and charge light was fixed in 3.1.X (correct if I am wrong?)
I have just updated to CM 7.2 from CM 7.1.0.1, - hence todays Calibration
using custom MTD, shown below.

I believe the red led charging bug was fixed in 4.1, no?

Offmode charging was fixed in CWM 3.x, but AFAIK, the LED colour is still buggy and doesn't turn green when charging in a switched off state.

But it does go green if I disconnect and re connect?
The off mode charge bug made the red light stay constant, even when charger is unplugged...if I remember correctly.
Updated to the new cwm based recovery 5.0.2.8 as well now.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Just trying to get my head around this dumb battery charging issue. Seems that some Roms the wife's kindle charges but doesn't say/show anything is actually charging. Some Roms show charging under battery information. All Roms don't show battery charging icon. Also the light on the power button works or doesn't work. Can someone explain all this so I can understand.. Its pretty bizarre.. Thanks
I will try to first give you the short answer then I will make an attempt at the long one. The charging issue is directly related to the kernel.... the long one... the icon will not indicate charging ever... go to about phone or tablet and status plug it in if it still says discharging unplug and replug if it still say discharging reboot then try again.. its common for the light to flicker amber when charging and not remain static at some point it will go green near the end of the charge... bottom line its just the nature of the beast...high usage fast or slow charge erratic indications all part of the animal...

Thanks for the explanation! What you mentioned is exactly what we have been seeing. It does charge so knowing its kernel related thing works for me.
I'm having a similar problem, I know it charges by going to the settings menu. The problem comes from when the Kindle goes to sleep, I always had a light come out of the button, but after installing Jandycane the light wont come on. It's hard to know if it is charging or not, anyone have the same problem?

Everyone has the same problem that's just how it is on JB and I believe ICS roms. The kernel needs fixed, but there are other issues that are most likely higher priority.

I have Hashcode's kernel and have flashed many ROMs. I'm on Hellfire's now . I find that if you charge in TWRP the light acts normal, stays red while charging and turns green at 90%. It may be my particular kf but try it , it might work.

Ive had a G4 for about 3 weeks now, and would greatly appreciate a little help as a few of the other forums seemed to not offer much advise.
1. When the phone is at rest and charging, the LED flashes/beeps on and off a red color. When it's fully charged the LED flashes Green. Aren;t these lights supposed to be solid? Could my unit be defective? Ive heard yes and no answers.
2. With auto dim set to off and screen brightness at 65%, almost everytime i unlock the phone it auto dims by itself. Ive never experienced this with any other phone except the G3 a year ago. it this normal?
3. On standby the battery does not deplete. Like ever. It was at 88%, and 3 hours later was at 88%. But 5 minutes of simply chrome browsing brought it down to 81%. 5 minutes.
im not rooted, and use only stock, AT&T software. I really like this phone, but want to make sure they aren't all like mine.
Thanks
I have 815 UK version (or international as some people say, or European... or Korean...lol) Anyway, when charging I am shown solid red, when fully charged, solid green. Not sure about the brightness thing, I have mine on auto all the time as I'm afraid of losing too much battery lol. Depletion of battery at rest sounds about right, if it's not doing anything why would the battery go down? However yes, chrome is very resource heavy and I suggest using the stock browser (if you have it, for example on the 815).
IMO.
yeah the charging flashing light was very disturbing, maybe it's defective? but other people say theirs also flash

There is a known issue with the LED light no clearing properly on the G4, here, try this.
Notification LED issues
The notification LED issues have been reported on some G4 handsets, wherein the phone's notification LED keeps flashing randomly even when no notification has been received. In some rare cases, it is ascertained that the LED continues to blink even after dismissing the notification.
Potential solutions
This is a relatively common issue found in Android 5.0 Lollipop, which can be fixed using the Clock application that can be downloaded here. Although this is not an issue with the Clock app itself, it is a means to fix the Notification LED issue.
The issue seems to occur on some devices after receiving notifications from third-party messaging apps like Whatsapp. Such faulty apps could be removed to check if the problem persists. If the issue is gone after the removal of the app, you may need to install the latest app update from the developer to resolve the issue permanently.
If everything else fails, just turn off the LED completely, by going to Settings > Sound & Notification > Notification LED.

It doesn't apply to notifications. I use a LED color app and that works fine...it's when the phone is charging.
Which model have you got?
standard, USA AT&T Model...H810

Mine also very slow to full red light and slow to no light while charging.
Full green when is fully charged.
I was thinking it was a feature....

Yes, the LED orange light will "breathe" like you see on Macbooks or other charging devices, it gets brighter/dimmer gradually/smoothly. So if your LED is "blinking" ON/OFF then that is not normal. It should gradually and smoothly pulse brighter and dimmer.
Mine blinks, on and off. Like a notification but with a 1 second interval. When charged does the same thing but is Green.
You say yours pulses. Others say it's a solid color.
Why is this device so buggy across the board? I feel it truly does everything, and is beautiful, yet I feel theres very little consistency in performance.
I'm going to write an email to LG, and try to find out exactly whats supposed to be happening when this phone is charging.
From my limited time with this puppy, I've noted that mine's blue (for notifications and full charge) and red (charging). And no, I'm not color-blind. Yet.
