Battery Doesn't to Charge 100%?! - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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%

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.

Battery not charging

I'm rooted and running Gingersense. I noticed recently my battery wouldn't charge all the way. I cleared the battery cache and powered it down and it finally charged but every so often now it does that where it reaches 76% then stops...

I had a similar issue. Turned out I was using a cord that wasn't letting enough power to the phone.

I had a similar situation where my battery seemed like it wasnt charging. My battery widgets and noti widget were not progressing in percentage. It turned out my charger was going bad.

My battery has some issue while I wipe different ROM
I noticed this issue only when I first flash a new ROM. It goes away, for me, after the first attempt at a full charge and has been charging 100% since.

Battery stats reset after reboot???

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.

Fully charged @ 96% all of the sudden?

So for whatever reason my phone now says it's fully charged @ 96% instead of 100%.
Anyone know why that would happen? Thanks up front for your input..

Sounds like a BLX script kicking in (BatteryLifeXtender) to give your battery the longest physical run time. Are you using a custom kernel of any sort?
I believe that it's normal for your phone to get charged to 100% and dropping some before it starts charging again.

Hava you flashed a kernel?
Flashing some kinds of kernel may change it,WIPE and reflash a stock kernel will repair.A fake battery may also be the reason,test the phone with a new battery to see whether the old battery is fake
Franco kernel, stock battery so I don't know?
I haven't changed anything recently except I updated the Franco nightly to 196..
It just recently started being fully charged @ 96% in the past couple days. I've had my G Nex for almost a month now. Running Gummy and Franco Kernel from the gate?

Please reiterate? Because it never started doing this until a couple days ago.

I think what he's saying is that even stock kernels charge to 100% then even while plugged in will stop charging and drop to about 96 and continue charging again even though the lock screen still says charged. This prevents overcharging. But as the other post says Franco kernel has a script that says the battery is full at 96%. You can change that with his app.

That's how phones and laptops charge, actually. They usually stop at some predetermined level under 100%... my laptop stops at 80%, most Android phones stop around 96%. The manufacturer often displays this percentage as 100% to prevent user confusion, a lot of custom rom/kernel devs force the battery reading to be accurate though.
The reason behind the battery not charging all the way to 100% is going to either extreme, 100% or 0%, shortens the overall life of Lithium Ion batteries.
TL;DR: Don't worry about it.

This.

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.

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.
