Hi
I have a rare problem, its been three days since I started using my Nexus, since the first night that i left it charging all night the next morning it only charged to 98%, it wont go any higher that that unless i disconnect and connect again the phone, last time i left if for more than 8 hours and its the same it wont go any higher than 98%, again, if i disconnect and reconnect then it will go to 100%
Any ideas why is this happening?
Please let me know
Did you search the forums to find the other people who posted the same thing?

Ahhhh
Sorry about that!
I usually search for problems before asking, but this time i forgot
Im still not happy with the battery life and so i was thinking it could be a related issue
Great phone when not used, battery sucks, other than that its a great quality product
So, again, sorry for the repost, i guess this is a think i have to live with
One last question, any way to calibrate my battery without rooting my phone?
You can try running it from 100-0 a few days in a row, that would help calibrate it
Hi,
Recently my battery stopped charging beyond the 89% mark and now people say that I need to get a new battery. I'm thinking if I should I may go for a long lasting one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Ori...ccessories&hash=item2a22467775#ht_2796wt_1397
But I've heard that as the NFC key is encrypted in the battery people have had issues where the NFC stopped working or such. What should I check for to guarantee that it wouldn't be the case with this one?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S.: Still for the time being if someone can help with the 89% charge issue, that'd be great.

The battery only contains an antenna for NFC. The actual NFC chip is in the phone itself.
Oh ok! Thanks for the correction guys.
Does this mean that I can safely go with any battery out there? Or the one that I linked?

The one you linked to appears to be a Samsung battery. It will support NFC. If you buy a battery without an NFC antenna, it will still power your phone but NFC won't work.
If you are on Sprint you can call telesales and they will send you the extended battery and door for free just pay for shipping. The extended batt is a 2100Mah instead of the 1850Mah original.

I plan on buying the Samsung 2000mAh battery myself as soon as my current one becomes insufficient.
Well the current one that I have started dying on me twice a day without any drastic changes to my usage. So I think it was a faulty one anyway before this issue started.
Will see how the 2000mAh one fares for my heavy use.

I just tried the battery and it still won't charge beyond the 84% mark now. So I'm now completely confused on what to do with it? Does anyone has any clue? I'm using the Franco Kernel, does it have anything to do with that?
Thanks.

One way to find out- try a different kernel. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, try a different rom. If it still does the same thing, it's time for a new phone.

Tried a different ROM and the stock kernel. Doesn't help. The charging still stops at 89% or whatever random number it wants to. I really don't want to send this back, I just hope there was a way to fix it.
But I think the way back is the only way. Will talk to my carrier then.
Thanks guys for all your help. :good:
Same problem here...
After upgrading to 4.2.1, battery stoped charging to 100%
Now charges to 64%, and if I remove it goes down to 4% then increase around 30%
Not sure if the problem is with the battery.
Tried eveything else aound: Kernels, Stock Brazilian ROM (all versions), Stock Google Images, MIUI, CM9, CM10 and CM10.1
Really sad about that.

I have the exact same problem after just 2 months of using this device. The problem first happened when i upgraded to the 4.2.1 takju JOPD firmware! The phone almost goes dead in 6hrs with minimal talk time, and a charge stops at 84%!
Unfortunately, I got this device while in the US from playstore, and now I am back in India. Not even sure of the warranty coz I have rooted this device.
Can anyone please advice?
I'm not sure if this could help, but have you tried draining your battery first (until it powers off) and then charging it to full without turning it on? I've read somewhere (don't remember where but I think it was here on xda) that the battery statistics become more inaccurate over time if you don't drain it to zero at times. I think it's called power cycling which is a good practice to have longer battery lifespan. I hope this helps

Actually, it shortens the battery lifespan exponentially. Full discharge of a lithium-ion battery is unhealthy. Likewise, complete power cycles shorten the battery's serviceable life.
If you suspect the battery's internal fuel gauge to be inaccurate, you could do this once in a blue moon, bearing in mind the unintended consequences.

Hi,
I have been having a problem of battery.
1. Battery dies from being 100% overnight.
2. Phone randomly shuts itself having more than 40% battery but shows 0 battery when it restarts.
3. Phone restarts quite frequently when taking a picture. (once a week)
Please let me know what should I do to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

I've got the same drain problem as your number 1, but not the other 2 issues. The funny thing is it only started a week or so ago, before that it was fine. I've been running the Viper rom, and Faux kernel without a hitch for over a month up until now.
I used to get a day out of the battery, and 2.5-3 hour screen on which was fine IMO, but not anymore.
I'm wondering if a recent app update has caused the issue, just speculating though, also it seems to be that the drain is happening when I'm not using the phone, when I do use the handset for whatever it uses the battery as normal.
Not trying to hijack your thread, just thought I'd give my two pennies worth as I'm having a similar problem.

I think you may be right because I have had the last 2 problems since a while and gave in HTC to repair the phone but it still hasnt been solved and I have got the first problem since the last week itself.

I had an Arc before, so i thought maybe this will help:

You seem to have a lot of applications running and something is keeping your phone awake. Any awake time when the screen isn't on also is an application using your phone.
Go to the play store and check the permissions of your downloaded apps, any app that has the permission to keep your device awake is a candidate for your problem. Uninstall them all and your problem should be gone, re-install one by one and see when it returns.
Regards
Phil
The problem occurred again. I have attached a image of the battery stats.

Need a shot of the 'partial wakelocks' category.
Also, don't stick them altogether into one pic, the board shrinks it massively. Just upload them individually

Looks like it's the radio causing the majority of your drain. How is the signal in your location? I see you've switched from EDGE to 3G during the screenshots... if the 3G signal isn't great then it will cause battery drain searching. It might be worth forcing your phone to either 2G or 3G only and seeing what happens.

Actually I just switched to 3g in the last couple of days. I only had 2G previously and the problem still occurred. Its funny that it happens only at night.
I think its the time for a fresh start. Format your phone and start all over.
So, how much will it takes you? Less than 3 hours? I'd say go for it.
At lest it would give you less headache and hopefully more battery.
Good Luck
I've had this problem before too, with baseband and alarm wakelocks.

Then I think I just googled the offending process and found a solution there
Hi Guys,
I have spent days researching this, and have read dozens of forum posts, but nothing has worked. Here's the problem- I bought a used GNEX off of Craigslist. The phone looks great and seems to work well. But, it won't show a charge beyond about 70%.
I thought the battery might be the issue, so i bought an a new OEM extended battery, but the new battery didn't make any difference. It still won't show a charge above 70% no matter how long I leave it on the charger (with the phone turned on or off). I have done probably 20 discharge/recharge cycles, but nothing changes.
Next, I bought an external charger. When I fully charge the battery in the external charger and pop it in the phone, it still shows around 70%. So, it is definitely an issue with the phone (not the batteries).
I've also tried four different ROMs, as well as all the black-magic "battery calibration" tricks found in the forums, but nothing helps.
I am totally stumped! Is there anyway I can fix this?
Thanks!
Slim
Please HELP! More info.
Hi guys,
Just an update. Yesterday I tried three different kernels, just in case that might make a difference. No luck. The kernels didn't make a difference.
Any advice on how I can make this phone handle battery levels correctly? It's been on the charger all night and only shows 66% charge.

You might try returning to stock to see if eliminating custom ROMs helps.

Same issue here, i tried with another battery that showed 95% in other Gnex and in my gnex showed 60%.....
I'm getting crazy!
Definitely a hardware issue.
Toro | Carbon | AK SKL
try an app named "BatteryCalibration" by marosige. When opened it shows the in circuit battery voltage. 3600-3700mV is to be expected from a well charged and in good shape battery. We seam to be having the same issues with mine having progressed to showing 0%. I have a recent thread here as well. I have read that the recovery battery stat wipe is just for the application level, but I think there must be a file or setting somewhere that maps mV to %'s and that this is what needs wiped/reset.
Anyone overhere still having issues?
I updated my thread on a similar if not the same problem, and am looking for some volunteers to help gather a little data. I would like for one or more persons to install SL4A and python, run a script and report findings. If you are willing please post a reply in my thread.
Thank you
I'm running The People's ROM and I love it but I;m not getting very good battery life. I've tried undervolting, underclocking, I even went back to the stock kernel. Nothing has worked. I saw Kenny's post to change folder qosmgr to qosmgr.bac but it was already done. Can anyone help? I love this ROM but if I can't get better battery life I will change to something else.

Have you turned data off or put into Airplane mode to determine if you have a signal/sync issue?
Is MEDIA high in your battery stats?
Everything already mentioned it could be many things. First is a screen shot of your battery stats on the device and a screen shot of on screen time.
1. Are you syncing anything?
2. Are you mostly on wifi? 3g?or LTE?
3. Do you use Facebook app?
4. What kernel? Any tweaks?
5. What governor?
6. What scheduler?
Let's start with this and we will get you going in the right direction.

Data is turned on and when I put it in airplane mode I don't seem to have problems there. MEDIA is not high on the battery stats, it's always ANDROID OS. I can fully charge at night and unplug the charger and not touch it until morning (about 8 hours) and the battery will be at about 92%.

I figured fixing my battery draining issue would be much easier this way and I was right thanks to people like you guys that ROCK!

Ok, I've charged my phone to a full charge over an hour ago and I've been using it a bit here and there and it seems I can already tell a difference. I left data on but turned sync off. I'm really thinking the auto sync was my problem since I wasn't leaving Wi-Fi and it was still draining to fast. I was losing about 8% over night with no use at all so I will know better in the morning. Regardless I will post some screenshots of my results sometime tomorrow.
