I was wondering if its normal or if its good or bad because normally on other androids i had the charging symbol would stop and just show a charge plug to verify it has stopped charging but on the nexus it just seems to show the charging symbol even when its fully charged. And im stock 4.1.1 and rooted. Thanks

Every device that I've ever owned (including iPhones) show it's still charging in the status bar even when it's done. Most usually have an LED that turns blue or green when it's finished, but they all still show charging in the status bar

Apologies for another not charging thread, i have tried searching for a similar issue but no luck.
I put my DHD to charge as usual last night at around 40%, the charge LED lit up and the battery icon was showing that i am charging.
When i woke this morning, the charge LED and battery icon were still showing that i should be charging yet the phone now only has 33% battery, so clearly hadnt charged. I checked current widget and when the LED and icon show charging i only seem to be getting anywhere between a reading of 40mA and 270mA. With an occasional 300-400mA reading.
I seem to be able to intermittently get the phone to charge and the batt icon to rise by a percent or two but then it seems to stop again. As i am in work at the moment i am having to charge via USB from my PC. Therefore i am currently unable to try another micro USB charger and see if it is indeed the charger or the phone.
Has anyone else had a similar issue, says it charging but it not??
Or anyone have any ideas of a solution??
If it matters i am currently using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB. Id rather not have to return it to HTC as i am unsure of how to return the phone to default easily so it could be repaired on warranty.
Thanks in advance,
James
Firstly, download CurrentWidget, set refresh to 15 seconds, and make sure you set it to display battery voltage. If it is showing around 4200mV, it is charged, and you have a problem with the battery gauge.
To double check, turn off your phone, and see if the light goes green at 100%.
Boot back up, just to see if a reset fixes it.
If not, reboot into recovery, and wipe battery stats (or do it properly, turn off, wait until light is green, wait another hour, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats).
Turn back on, and see if the problem is sorted.

Just trying to get my head around this dumb battery charging issue. Seems that some Roms the wife's kindle charges but doesn't say/show anything is actually charging. Some Roms show charging under battery information. All Roms don't show battery charging icon. Also the light on the power button works or doesn't work. Can someone explain all this so I can understand.. Its pretty bizarre.. Thanks
I will try to first give you the short answer then I will make an attempt at the long one. The charging issue is directly related to the kernel.... the long one... the icon will not indicate charging ever... go to about phone or tablet and status plug it in if it still says discharging unplug and replug if it still say discharging reboot then try again.. its common for the light to flicker amber when charging and not remain static at some point it will go green near the end of the charge... bottom line its just the nature of the beast...high usage fast or slow charge erratic indications all part of the animal...

Thanks for the explanation! What you mentioned is exactly what we have been seeing. It does charge so knowing its kernel related thing works for me.
I'm having a similar problem, I know it charges by going to the settings menu. The problem comes from when the Kindle goes to sleep, I always had a light come out of the button, but after installing Jandycane the light wont come on. It's hard to know if it is charging or not, anyone have the same problem?

Everyone has the same problem that's just how it is on JB and I believe ICS roms. The kernel needs fixed, but there are other issues that are most likely higher priority.

I have Hashcode's kernel and have flashed many ROMs. I'm on Hellfire's now . I find that if you charge in TWRP the light acts normal, stays red while charging and turns green at 90%. It may be my particular kf but try it , it might work.

Got myself my first Qi charger, and when i put my nexus 7 on that, it doesn't notify me when charging starts. (i can still see Charging message on lock screen when turning screen manually on)
Stock rom, rooted. Build number: JSS15J
I could always do this thing via tasker, but shouldn't android have something like that already?
I've got the Nexus 4 wireless charger, and I notice sometimes when I put the Nexus 7 on it, I get a little "gingle-gingle" noise, and sometimes I don't, but I see the battery icon get the lighting bolt that says it is charging every time.
Seems that it magically started to do that sound again.. odd, very odd... I hope it continues to work
I believe I tried all available CMW for MT7-L09 (MATE7_CWM.img; cwm_mod_mate7.img; recovery_touch_mod_test.img; TWRP_2.8.0.3.img) but only one allows to charge my device WHEN OFF: MT7_CWM_CN_EN.img the one provided by Fooox1 HERE.
When I connect device to charger, the device simply remains off (no battery charging icon, no led), TWRP reboots to recovery; only MT7_CWM_CN_EN.img works fine...
How is it possible? Can anybody charge his device WHEN OFF with some CMW???
Please, let me know...
Ciao Leonardo. When I installed CWM on the occasion on B127 I remember that the icon of the battery during charging with phone off was different. No circle running. Just battery simble filling-in animation. But it was charging anyway. When I re-flashed the stock recovery, circle running icon was back. Still charging properly. But for me, in both cases was charging properly. I always charge M7 when is off.
After Android 8.1 update, when I plugged in my phone to the charger, some charging options appeared. I changed it to see what's happened and now my phone won't stop charging after it charges to 100%.
I checked all options in settings and can't find that. Even factory reset didn't help.
Question: how do you know it's "still charging"?

It still has lighting symbol on battery status
I can assure you it's not charging.
