I have an LTE Galaxy Nexus with the extended battery from Verizon....
When I charge my phone, it will say charged on the lock screen but when I unplug it, the battery in the status bar says 98% as does my BatteryLife widget on the homescreen.. It never has said 100%... Is this normal? Any suggestions?
I have reset battery stats in CWR when fully charged (only 98% apparently) and that didn't help. Factory resets haven't changed it either.

Probably need battery calibration app and bump charge it, then reset.
My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
this is normal. these batteries will charge up to 100% then drop down to 98-99 and then back up. so it's very common that you'll never see 100%.
Neo is correct. I had the same problem. I bump charged mine and it charges to 100% most of the time. But a phone only charging to ~98% does not mean there is a problem. Shutting down before 1% there might be.

I also have the extended battery, and it does the same thing. I've only seen 100 after charging in recovery.

Did you try plugging it while standing upside down? Or shaking it? Think it's normal. My Evo3d only went to 97%
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Haha I will try that if it works! Yesterday it charged until "charged" Your Evo3d probably charged until full also but by the time you unplugged it and got to look at it... its had already burned through 3% battery

IIRC once the battery is almost full it starts to cycle between charging and not. If you happen to unplug between cycles it will show anywhere between 97 and 99%. At least that was the case with the og epic.

Okk thanks... It charged last night & when I woke up it was @ 99%. I took it off the charger for a little while and plugged it back in & now it says charged. Hmm I'm gonna peep the sitch

My galaxy tab does the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it. My Evo does the same thing, then 10 min later it's down to 90%. I'm really looking forward to much improved battery life when my Epic touch arrives.

Im pretty sure no android phone charges too 100% really it goes to 95% or spmething like that... To keep your battery alive and not exploding lol.

I can get my phone to say 100% when I use my extended battery wall charger. I charge the battery for about 15 hrs and then I get really good battery life. Which leaves me to believe something is happening inside the phone, or charging cable to stop the phone from being properly charged/fully charged. I can have my EVO off all night charging, cut my phone on and it says 90%. I mean WTF. So happy I ordered the Epic Touch.
There is no denying the joy this phone is bringing to my life... I can deal with the 99%

I had an issue this morning when I took it off the charger and it said 99%, plugged it in and it stuck on "Charging (99%)" and the LED didn't come on. Restarting fixed it, we'll see if it comes back tomorrow morning!
Complete stock. No root or mods and no, it didn't explode...

I noticed that I can get 100% but the instant I removed it from the charger it drops to 99%. Glad to know it's not just me
Same here

Samsung purposely put in that charging method to make sure the battery doesn't overcharge. You'll be thanking them in a year when your battery still performs well.
I've had my GN for almost a week now and every night I leave it charging and wake up to find that it not reached 100 and only 98. Is anyone else having this issue or might know how to fix it? I've also wiped my own battery stats a few times.

Battery won't charge past 98%
I've the same issue. How did you resolve?
It's not an issue it's a built in safeguard just like the nexus s

my battery has charged up to 98, 99 and 100. Either way, its a non issue. The battery is charged.

There is nothing wrong with your battery

Hey guys.
I've had an Inc S for some time so not too new to the android world.
But my new Gnex resets batt stats after a simple reboot. Is this normal? My HTC never did that.
Cheers guys.
If it's a brand new phone, the OS may still be collecting battery data so technically speaking, it could happen.
Don't quote me on this though.
Hrmmm, dunno hey. Thanks for your reply though = )
Has anyone else had this issue??
Thanks.
Are you rooted? Running stock ROM?
Afaik the battery stats file only gets deleted when your phone is fully charged. Did you reboot at full charge?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Yeah I found that anywhere between 90 and 100% its wiped after a charge. I rebooted after or in that 10% so it sort of makes sense. I recently rebooted and it didn't clear them. It must only do it in that range. Or rather like your saying at full charge, well close too anyway.
Thanks.

Battery stats are wiped every full charge.

I just got a Nexus and rooted, etc, using the toolkit.
I've noticed that the battery will not charge all the way to 100%, no matter how long i let it charge.
Yesterday for example, i used the phone till it died, then connected the phone to the charger over night.
This morning i turn the phone off and see that the battery is only at 92%!?
How can i fix this?!
Currently running Vicious Jell Bean v4.
Perhaps this is why there is an option to clear battery stats in clockwork, yes?

That doesn't actually do anything aside from erasing your battery graph.
Yeah from what I've read, clearing the battery stats using CWM or some other calibration app, didn't take care of the whole problem.
Any other ideas?

Does the kernel you are using have BLX?
That can be used to put a limit on how high a battery charges, maybe you changed the value by accident or it was set that way by the dev.

Have you tried doing a trickle charge?

How can i tell?
Not sure but i didn't use any other kernel except the one that came with the Vicious Jelly Bean rom.
I just noticed that you can change the mAh capacity in the "Battery Monitor Widget" by 3C.. it currently shows that capacity is 1750mAh when the stock battery states 1850mAh. Should i change the value now and drain the Battery completely, then full recharge?

Have not.
What exactly is a trickle charge?

I noticed the same thing when I was running Vicious v3, it would stop at 95%. I'm running latest bugless beast now and the issue is gone.

I think thats what is called, My phone never goes past 99% no matter how long i leave it there so now when it reaches said 99% i unplug it and re-plug it inmediately and it goes up to 100%
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
what the crap...
I super-wiped, deleted dalvik cache, and factory reset, and flashed the Rev' HD rom, and STILL doesnt charge past 92%?!?!
Perhaps its the "Battery Monitor Widget" from 3C and the data stored?!??
Same happened to me. And it's getting worse progressively - first it was charging to 89%, then it didn't go above 79, now I can rarely see it go over 60
Since day one my phone never got to 100%, it always stops at 99%...
My phone was able to charge to 100% within reasonable time. I've changed a few firmwares with full wipe, that didn't impact neither the ability to charge to 100% when it was able to do so nor the inability to charge fully when the problem surfaced.
I suspect that problems started after I dropped my phone (wasn't a hard drop, just a fall to a hard surface from 0.5 m, no visible damage).
Is it possible that the battery gets damaged somehow?
Same problem

Same problem here, my phone charge until 84% BUT:
I tried with a battery of my friend that was at 95% and my phone showed it 60%!
The issue is in the way that our phone measure the battery, but i already tried wipping bat stats and nothing...
I also wiped all the things and re-installed 4.2.2 and same problem
Why would you even bother eating your time wiping battery stats? It had absolutely nothing to do with charge indication.

Not sure if it is rom or kernal related, but my phone will not charge to 100% unless I unplug and plug the charger back in. It goes to 98 or 99% and stops. Common problem or not? I'm running CNA 3.8 and Franco r300. Thanks.

The kernel prevent charging to 100%to extend the battery life. You can change it using the Franco kernel updater app.
The battery lose its capacity faster if you charge it to 100% all the time.

Not a problem...it's completely normal.
The phone is actually lying about your percentage anyway.
It's more like 95% at maximum (I think that's the default) and in real "percentage values" it will drop down to 90% and fill itself back up and drop again.
Some kernel/KernelTweakApps can change the value that it will charge to.
I think it's called the "BLX" value, if I remember right.
Not a good idea to go higher, in my opinion...
You're getting an extra 2 minutes of screen time...
But your phone battery will "go bad" in a MUCH quicker time frame.
Great. Thanks for the answers.
