I installed the gede rom a few weeks ago. I am having issues with charging my fire. Recently, I charged it all night, unplugged it, then didn't use my fire for a couple days. The kindle fire lost all of its charge while not being used. Then, while charging it back up, it would go from "charging" to "discharging", flipping back and forth, even though it was plugged in (this was being viewed through the settings).
Is this a common problem? Is there a fix? Would there be another rom that is more stable?
I have also found that the Fire loses charge very easily while on standby on all of the ROMS I've used it on.
I would shut down the Fire completely when storing it away.
Also, the discharging, charging bug is harmless as far as I know, it charges itself regardless of the charging, discharging status.

Has anyone else had issues with the Amazon provided power supply?
I plug mine in to charge every night and I usually don't have issues with it. But then again, I usually have around 20-30% state of charge left.
However, twice in the last week, I have plugged in my KF with the battery below 10% and it doesn't charge at all - no LED light, Battery Monitor Widget still indicates that it is discharging. Other USB chargers that I have seem to work just fine even when it's in this state, but since they are much smaller (500mA) they don't charge as quickly either.
I sent them an email, but they replied saying that they want to actually talk to try some troubleshooting steps. I guess I'll write more after I call them.
Yes, I had a charging problem also. What I would do is nonlinear chat with Amazon and tell them your problem. I did this and they gave me a new one free.

I got my KF Yesterday, the first thing I did was root it and install Trojan38's CM9 ROM. Everything is working great, but I notice that charging is painfully slow. I plugged it in last night around 2ish, it had 43% Battery remaining. Woke up around 10 (About 8 hours of charging) and checked the battery, it was only at 92%. I'm using the wall charger that came with the Kindle, not USB.
Is there something wrong with my Kindle, or is this old news?
I think it might be a known issue. Mine takes time to recharge too.
There are some roms like AOKP that enable fastcharge which charges the kindle faster than it usually does. I'm not sure if your rom will have it so maybe look around in the settings or something

Thanks! But doesn't fast charge just mean it charges faster on USB?
Also, is it a ROM issue or a KF issue? (As in, would this still happen on stock KF?)
Thanks a lot for developer's effort to bring cm10.1 to kindle fire HD 8.9. But I have an issue. And I am not sure whether it is related with cm10.1. In stock rom, I can charge the battery to 100%. But after flashing cm10.1, I found charging stopped after reach 70%. Is it normal? Or something is broken? After reflashed back stock rom, I can only charge the battery to about 77% (just once, then I switched to cm10.1 again).
It turns out to be a charger issue. I originally thought any USB charger should be OK, but I am wrong. Yesterday, I tried a Amazon kindle DXG charger, and make a full charge to nearly 100% finally.
I use Iphone's charger to charge kindle fire HD whith CM10.1 room, and it work well
My phone has always charged slow using USB instead of a home charger. But now even on the home charger it can't keep up with the usage. It's literally draining the phone faster than it can charge it.
I've tried 3 different home chargers, 1 of the 3 will actually charge it, but it's very slow
I installed a backup I took 1.5 months ago, and it didn't help
I just put a new battery in and it didn't help either. Still draining fast.
Phone isn't getting hot, so I don't think it's a processor or radio issue.
The night before last I noticed it happening when I put it on the charger, and I took a look at the battery settings and was switching from charged to discharging status about 10 times per second. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it started working just fine.
Running CM9 HONO! 8.4. It's always been a great ROM.
Also, on the battery status, it shows that it's charging on USB even if it's on the home charger.
What's going on?
Ok, cleaned the terminal out. There was a bit of fuzz down in the bottom. Also scraped off the terminals and used some alcohol. Phone says it's charging on (AC) now instead of (USB), so that's good. Hopefully it was just a dirty terminal.
That fixed it. It's fully charged and ready to go. Glad it was just a little bit of lint.
After I finished charging my tablet to 100% today, I set it down and went on with my tasks for the day. Checking it here and there, I didn't realize until now that the battery has remained at 100% for the past six hours. I have tried powering down and booting back up as well as plugging the tablet in briefly.
Both the battery menu and Dashclock display "Not charging" instead of "Discharging." When I plug the tablet in, it immediately tells me that it is fully charged.
So needless to say, I'm looking for a solution, preferably simple. Factory reset is a last resort. I'm running an unlocked and rooted Nexus 7 (2013) with stock 4.3, so no third-party ROMs or kernels messing with the battery.
This issue is ironic because I was pretty close to fully-charged last night (80-90%) and when I woke up, I was at ~50% and the battery menu displaying that "Android OS" was hogging 50% of my battery usage. Normally screen comes out on top. I attributed this to my home Wi-Fi router's flakiness, rebooted the router, and the tablet seemed to restore to the correct battery usage levels.
this actually happened to me the other day. left the n7 on the wireless charger overnight and woke up to battery stuck at 100%. at first I thought I was getting some stupid crazy awesome battery life, but then realized it was just stuck.
i did a factory reset to "fix it"...
Nexus 7 1st gen had that same issue. Mine resolves itself after a few charge cycles. Basically the % just gets pinned @ 100% and starts draining down when in reality the tablet might be ~70-80%. Just keep using it and it'll drop. Problem is, since the calibration is off, using it while you have this issue to ~20-30% may cause it to run out of juice and shut off on you since in reality it would be 0%. So I'd use it down a lil bit and put it back on the charger. I just didn't think the new one would have the same problem :\
Have you tried booting into the recovery to see if the battery percent is correctly displayed there?
I ended up booting into TWRP, where the battery displayed as 100%. It may have just been some sweet battery life, but it actually seems like it was stuck, or at least discharging at a very slow rate. Down to 87% currently, so it was fixed after I booted into recovery. Thankfully, just a hiccup and no factory reset necessary.
Experienced another random reboot today, but lucky me, I get to save that for another thread!

So this has become a common problem for me now. every time i fully charge the N7 and leave it plugged in the battery percentage gets stuck. rebooting in recovery gets it unstuck but throws off the calibration/percentage.
