179° temp this morning when I woke up...

So last night. Just like everynight I plugged in my phone. Left it on my bed. And woke up this morning. The phone was off and it was so hot to the touch I could barley hold it. No exaggeration. I actually have a screen shot of the temp when it first booted up. Its was 179° .. I don't know what caused this.. but I hope my device wasnt damaged at all last night. And I do not know the culprit. It was just random.
Here is a screenshot of the temp through francos app. Oh and by the time the phone booted it actually cooled down a little bit so I'm betting the phone hit 110°c last night and shut its self off. The weird thing is it was still hot while it was off just charging...

You should attempt to replicate it for the purpose of identifying the cause. It's likely the charger, the first place I'd start. Have you rooted? Are you OC'd? Have you recently installed a new ROM or changed anything?

I am rooted. I was over clocked to 1.5 GHz. And I actually just installed nightly #221 but I'm trying to figure out why it was still hot after it was off..

My guess is that the charger is giving it too much juice, at least when the phone is shut off and the battery full. Is it the stock charger? Also, it could be possible that the software that regulates the charge isn't functioning properly and you woke up shortly after it had shut off.

I am using the stock charger.

Try the stock kernel/ROM?

At least it didn't come in contact with your face while you were sleeping!

Would have been quite the wake up call.

I can bet you have disabled thermal throttling? If so, then: 1.5GHz+charging+some app using 100% of CPU resources = +110C is very likely.

Even at 1.5, I still don't see what his phone could have been doing to get that hot.

The only time my phone gets over 110 F is with my otter box on in the sun

Charging always locks the phone at 350mhz (keeps out of deep sleep) if it is on.

My opinion is that it is probably your charger giving the phone too much juice... HOWEVER, why is your charger giving the battery too much juice? you should check the fuses in the house. if you have the charger plugged into one of those multiple outlet bars, those tend to overheat electrical appliances. plugged something else into that same receptacle and see if it gets got over time

The first thing I checked was thermal throttle. I'm not using a power bar. Uhm. Yeah I'm not exactly sure what was up with it. The only thing I could think of was it was slightly under a pillow. But still.. I don't see it getting so hot while being under a pillow with no pressure being applied to it. Tonight I'm going to try and replicate what I did last night but with CPU spy on. Maybe there is a rogue app cause problems. Who knows. Oh and recently my phone has told me twice in the past few days that the Sim card was removed. And when I touched the metal over the Sim card it was hot as hell. I think I might have a defective phone at this point... I've never really pushed this phone. But it runs hot sometimes. Very easily. And what scares me is since I had to get a refurb.. damn insurance.. it was unlocked when I got it...

Just normally charging and light browsing right now and I'm at about 156° I'm not sure what to think of that number

Yes, I've experienced it with custom kernel (e.g. franco) but with stock kernel phone sleeps well deep during charging. (For sure I've tested it now, so this is 100%.)

Battery Doesn't to Charge 100%?!

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.

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?

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.

My GNex Battery gets to 30% then just dies.

hi i have a
Gnex
im using
>Codenameandroid v3.3.2
>Trinity kernal
Everytime my phone reaches around 30% my phone just dies, then wont start till i connect it to a ac wall charger.
i have two batteries and at first i thought it might of been a ebay battery i purchase but it does it with both.
any help?

Try to wipe the battery stat in recovery.

I tried wiping it Ndnit continues to behave this way. Thank you for replying

Did this just start happening with the new kernel? If you are sure it isnt a hardware/battery issue, I would set it back to stock and see if that fixes it. Hopefully its just a bad combination of kernel/rom. Good luck !

You know what it might be the kernal I using the Trinity kernal experimental 537. I'm flash back to the stable version. See if that helps.

I had a odd quirk earlier today. My phone showed around 40-55% the suddenly died. I turned it back on and saw 8% left.. hasn't happened again but was strange.

Am on everything Stock...
I have never gone into any such issues like this b4...
If i feel like battery drain or something like tat.. I do wipe cache and dalvik and install the ROM and fix permission in CWM...
Then it will be back again..
Its my Daily driver. So most of the time i will be on Calls and msgs and also Wifi and bluetooth will be on 24/7
Auto Sync on..
My Battery will Remain till nxt day morning and still i will be having 25~30% left out...

Charging Percentage

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

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.

Battery Life

I recently bought a GSM galaxy nexus (NTT DoCoMo version) and I use it on T-Mobile's prepaid network. The original battery that it came with was terrible.. Literally only lasted 7 hours regardless of screen on time. So I bought a stock Samsung battery off eBay thinking maybe it was a bad battery. No help whatsoever. I've flashed different ROMs, radios, and different kernels. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on? I had a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and I could get up to a day on the battery with 2.5 hours of screen on time so I know the Galaxy Nexus can last a long time. What's the deal?

Could you post some info on battery drain statistics from battery settings tab or preferably gsam monitor over a full drain? I could probably help you out, just need some more info. Also try flashing fancy kernel if you haven't already. This is a newer kernel that gives the best battery life you'll find freshly flashed.
Before discharging toget battery stats I would try charging to 100% and using "battery calibration" by NeMa to clean your phone's batterystats file and then drain to zero with a screen flashlight or running gallery slideshow. This can always be a problem no matter how healthy your battery is.

This is what I have showing for my battery so far. I flashed the newest radio last night and that seems to have helped a little bit with the battery. I have tried the battery calibration and it didn't really seem to help much.

I have flashed a stock 4.2.2 ROM a week or so ago and I was still having this issue. I bought a new battery too and its still happening. Flashed the fancy kernel today and it seems to be helping a lot actually.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

The stock kernel performs way better then what you are experiencing. A custom kernel may help a bit, but it's not magic. I'd recommend using the app BetterBatteryStats in order to find out what's going on.

Do any of you think that me restoring apps would have anything to do with the battery drain? I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the GSAM battery stats but the battery drains way too quickly. 10% per hour even when I'm not using it..

Glad to hear that fancy kernel is helping. It's probably the closest thing to magic you'll find. I agree that 1 hour of screen time and under 12 hours is under par, but I was having these same issues 2 months ago and could not believe how crappy battery life was. It really got better though trying a bunch of different radios to find the right ones, using minimal gapps/resource hogging apps as possible, finding the right build.prop tweaks to use, and most helpful flashing some good reliable kernels like fancy and AK/anarkia that have incredibly useful customizations that stock just doesn't have, I.e., contrast and color settings, battery friendly governors and frequency profiles, optimized smart-reflex, and custom regulator voltages for display.

Well, didn't feel like it lasted too long. Fell asleep with my battery at 33%, woke up 3 hours later and it's dead. I'm ready to throw this phone out the window.

I've tried to find a rom and kerneI that would help with battery too, nothing made that much of a difference though. I use the 2x battery saver app now. I get at least double the battery life sometimes more.

I see you got the app. Good. Now a few minutes isn't enough time to gather reliable stats. Review the results after a full drain cycle of the battery. Check partial wakelocks and alarms for suspicious activity.

Here's what was listed on BBS after a full drain. Do you see anything unusual? I turned my data on and kept it on 2G to prevent the no or unknown signal from eating more battery but that was the only change. Battery life still looks terrible.

No need for the snake oil app, as simply unplugging the phone after a full charge wipes battery stats. Wiping battery stats and draining to zero aren't going to have any bearing whatsoever on this issue and would needlessly shorten the battery's serviceable lifespan.

Whoops.. I forgot to screenshot those. I'll get those later today. So I put my phone in airplane mode to see if maybe it was the reception... Phone kept draining. I will try to wipe everything off the phone later and not install any apps and see if that helps.

According to these stats, it looks like Google talk and the calendar are my biggest wake locks? I disabled Google talk, turned off location history for Google maps last night, what should I do about the calendar? I feel like my phone is becoming useless because I have disabled so many things.
