Phone charging LED green

I have just switched to MIUI RoM and am not sure this has happened on other RoMs, but my phone charge LED has turned green at 91% and is still charging?
This cant be good for the battery can it?
Anyone know why this is happening, all help welcome.

I'm pretty sure that's just how the MIUI rom works, when you get to the 90 percent it just turns the led green. it won't continute to try to charge after it reaches 100%. At least that's the experience I had with it.

Some roms have that setting, that the led is green above 90 percent. Do not think it matters really more than cosmetic.

Thanks guys, yes I left it to charge till 100% and it then said Full charged

It continues to charge at 90% but it reduces the milliamps going in to the battery to make sure it doesn't overcharge the battery

All the other replies have valid points and I don't disagree with them, but if it really bugs you, you can try reset the battery stats...
Charge the phone to full capacity (I'd say when every battery status shows full; light, 'About', widgets, etc.).
While still pluged into charger, restart into recovery and wipe battery stats (I think it's under 'Advanced' if you have ClockWorkMod recovery).
Restart normally and unplug charger.
Run device without charging until it turns itself off.
Reconnect charger and turn it on again.
If the ROM is reporting the battery incorrectly, this should sort it out. Otherwise, maybe that's just how it's meant to report battery status...

Thanks I think its all Ok I never watch phone changing at 90+% till other day, and from what I have read this is ok.
Battery seems really good, getting a day out of it.

[Q] Desire turns off at 10%

Everytime my phone reaches 10%, the phone will shut down itself and it won't turn on again.
i have tried bump charging and calibrating the battery but still without success... anyone got any soulutions other then buying a new battery?
thanks.

Try this: fully charge the phone then let the battery drain completely, until the phone shuts down. Plug the phone into the wall charger, let it charge for a minute or so then turn the phone on while still plugged into the charger and let it charge completely. After a full (100%) charge, the battery indicator should be precise.
I've noticed that if i restart the phone of plug it in after charging, the battery indicator will show an extra 10%, so that's the main reason for the shutdown at or a little below 10%.
This operation should be repeated once a month, just to keep the battery and the battery stats fresh.
Don't wipe battery stats and don't try any other calibration tweaks. They might damage the battery. There are some people here complaining about that.
If the phone still shuts down at 10% after the above-indicated trick, then your battery might be old and in need of replacing, but i wouldn't replace it just because of a 10% indicator error if it can still hold a proper charge.

I have the same problem. I also calibrated my batterie and everything but it still turns off at ~10%.
But since I know that, it's not really a problem

Its always turned off at ~15% for me. I accepted that this was normal. I've seen a lot of posts around but no one seems to of found a proper solution. I actually doubt that there is a proper solution to this.
Punched in..

snq's kernel? I take it is normal with it as none of the GB sense rom managed to come even near the 1-2%. A bug with the kernel probably.
Flashed Oxygen last week - bam, phone turns off at 1%. No calibration was needed even .

Every time this happens to me I charge it 100% then I reset battery stats. Then let it discharge threw normal use then give it a proper charge, plugged into wall charger, not PC.....! And once its 100% ignore green light check it says 100% on the top bar then I unplug. Its normally always sorted then. But I have had to repeat twice in the past.
I also agree about kernal, often after updates it goes bonkers, and I'm on miui, lots of updates

Mine also used to turn off at ~14%. After using a battery calibrator, i could push it down to 7%. However, on the other "side" of the scale, it goes down qute quickly from 100% to ~92%. All this on GV2.8, and the unofficial ManU kernel 2.1.1.

Just wipe battery stats in recovery after full discharge if you changed ROM, and then let it charge to 100%.

Used the battery calibrator app (for nexus one) with detailed instructions. Now batt lifeis awesome, turns off at 3%.

I had the same issue on my stock Telstra branded rom. Since changing to cyanogenmod it hasn't happened since.

[Q] Evo won't charge

-I am/was running CM7 7.1.0
-Tiamat 4.1.0
My evo worked fine for about a month on CM7.1.0, but recently stopped charging. I would plug it into the wall charger and go to bed, only to find it either
A) At 53% charge
B) Completely dead
C) Fully charged (rarely)
So I flashed to nightly 255 with stock kernel and am still having the issue.
I used V6 supercharger at one point, but about a month before I began having issues.

Have you tried charging it while it was powered down?

Yes. It's hard to tell if it actually does anything though as my phone won't display accurate battery percentage when I do.
It'll be 53%, I'll turn the phone off and back on, and it will show 78% or some random percentage. Then I'll reboot again and it'll show yet another percentage.

Ok I want you to try this
Power the phone COMPLETELY OFF
Plug it in
The orange light should turn on
Charge it like that over night
And see if it's green in the morning
If its not try installing the ROM from scratch (fresh install)
If it still doesnt charge after that then you have 1 of 3 things or both
1. Bad Battery (Possible but not likely)
2. Bad Charge Port (Possible but lets hope not)
3. Bad Charger (Highly doubt it but its happen to me)

I powered off and charged it with my computers USB instead of the wall charger and it worked.
I'll charge it with my USB while on next time to see if its just my wall charger. Thanks.

No problem charge it like that again and then go into recovery and wipe battery stats it'll calibrate your battery again cuz its gonna have some pretty bad stats now that you went from a minimal to a minimal and then to a maxxed out battery

Charge it up to 100% and boot into recovery while it's still on charger. Wipe battery stats and reboot. Remove charger.
Go TrevE !!!

[Q] Htc One X Battery Issue...

Okay, so my HTC One X wont charge to full, no matter what. Heres what I've tried so far...
- Wiped Battery Stats from recovery, then tried charging.
- Turned off the phone and left on wall charge for over 6 hours but still was less then 10% charged, then wiped the battery stats from recovery, and it gained 40% charge.
- When I wipe battery stats, phone does gains about 20% to 30% charge, but then starts to drain even when on charge saying "Your phone is using more power then supplied, close apps or turn off the phone."
- Once calibrated it when the charge was half, that was the only time it showed me 100% charged, but then again same problem.
Phone is rooted and running JB stock.
Any help would be appreciated....

batterystats.bin has absolutely zilch to do with this. It only logs things like 'x app ran for y ms' and does not affect the battery charge shown in any way.
Anyway, did you try charging with a different charger? Does charging from your computer change anything?

Yes, tried charging using my laptop, but still the same.

Charger limiting my charge?

Hey guys. So I was thinking my battery problem could just be a bad battery... Got some new ankers, charged them with the external battery charger. Battery lasted the time it used to: (4+ hrs screen on). I kept the battery in my phone, charged it via USB wall charger (stock) showed full battery, but died much faster. Any chance the original wall charger is being stopped before it's fully charged but sayin it is?
Btw tried battery stats wiper stuff didn't help

Battery stats wiping is not a thing. It's a myth. This happens every time you unplug the phone when its' above a 90% charge. Most battery stat wiping apps don't even do anything. They just say they did something. Even if you did wipe battery stats, it doesn't matter. It's not a thing.
The charger doesn't have voltage cutoff. So the charger isn't purposely stopping the charge. The phone itself does though. What ROM are you using? Have you tried with a different ROM?

Thanks yeah that's what I've been told but other people say to. I just wanted to say it so it wasn't advised I do a battery stats wipe ha. And yeah I've tried a few roms same situation I'll give it a few more runs through the batteries to see but it definitely burns through the battery in about half the time after full charge via USB rather than external charger
