I have a sprint galaxy nexus. I went to camp for a week after turning it off on a half charge. When I came back I tried to turn it on but it immediately shut back off. I plugged it in for a couple hours and it did kind of charge, but the charge icon came on then it displayed the charging animation/battery percent for a second or so at most then rebooted into the icon, then charge animation. It keep cycling and does NOT hold a charge. When I turn it on after a little bit of charging, it says 50 or so percent battery but EVEN IF I KEEP IT PLUGGED IN it still goes down very rapidly. A charge like that goes back to 0 and shuts off within 5 minutes. I'm wondering if I actually killed the battery, or if it can be saved, or if it isn't even a battery issue but a software issue or something. Any help is greatly appreciated.:fingers-crossed:

Is anyone else having a problem with the touch pro 2 not charging fully when it is off. I have the Tilt2 and have tried many different ROMs. For whatever reason if i charge the phone while it is off, it only charges to around 96% or less. I do have the 1% battery driver installed and i can not figure out for the life of me why it will not fully charge. If i leave the phone on, it charges to 100% but at some point i get a message telling me it disconnected from the connection. Can anyone help. Thanx
Same issue :-(
me too. Same problem
There's been several threads on this. The general consensus is the battery stops charging when it reaches 100%, and then begins to discharge. I've noticed the same behavior but haven't found a fix.
Very odd
The weird thing is that I have charged my phone while it is off and one morning I wake up and turn it on and it is at 91% then the next morning it will be at 100% then the next morning itll be 86%. I usually turn it off around the same time and turn it on around the same time. I cant see it starting to discharge if there is only an hour possible time difference. REALLY annoying lol
Icon issue with charging and Battery level
I have an odd issue. I am running the stock ATT rom until I can get the stupid phone to take the HardSPL (different issue being worked on).
The icon at the top shows the battery at full capacitiy all the time. I have Phone alarm on and it has a battery indicator that shows it as low as 20% while battery icon is still 4 bars full. Also there are times when I remove it from the usb and the charging icon stays on instead of showing the battery icon. If I soft reset then it seems to go to normal and the charging icon is replaced by battery which seems to always show full.
So I've noticed for a while now that when I disconnect my dInc after charging, the battery will drain almost 20% within the first couple hours (almost no use at all). I suspect that the battery isn't being fully charged when the green light first goes off. After I plug/unplug the cable and charge a couple more times, it holds a higher charge more consistently. I've read this is due to the phone not wanting to over-charge the battery, however in the case of my battery (Seido 1750), it doesn't even fully charge.
Is there any way (aside from the plug/unplug scenario) to fully charge the battery in one go? An app maybe?
My phone is rooted.
Thanks.
The battery could be losing its ability to hit its capacity. In other words its wearing down.
Nothing will fix it. There are no apps to bump charge.

Get an external charger for your battery and couple of extra batteries. I get best result not charging in the phone and rotating batteries.

Charge the phone powered on until the light turns green. Leave it plugged in but turn it off. Leave it plugged in, off for about 20 minutes, you will notice the light is still orange even though its already "charged." Once the light goes green again, unplug it and power it up. When I do this, my battery will go for 3 or 4 hours before it hits 90 percent with my regular use.

Just be aware that bump charging as it's called, can reduce the life of your battery over time.
So one day my phone wouldn't wake from the lock screen so i restarted it and battery went down to 4% from 47%. I plugged it in to the charger and nothing. I tried different chargers and still nothing - no lights, nothing this went on for almost a week. I left it on the charger for couple hours on September 1st and then the red charging light came on and i turned on the phone and voila! it worked. I decided i wouldn't let my battery go so low again. The next day i was using my phone and it shut off at 20%. i went to charge it and nothing! this began to piss me off. I left it on the charger and a few minutes later it began to charge. Today September 3rd, i was using my phone and the battery was on 37%, jumped to 27%, jumped to 17% then 0% and then shut off. I plugged it up and nothing! This phone is irritating me. Sometimes it charges normally and other times it takes forever to start to charge. i don't know what the problem is. can someone help me please? @timmaaa any help?
Hey guys, I've had my phone for 4 or so months now and I always charge it while my phone is off and never had any charging/battery issues until today, I decided to charge my phone while it's on and it charged up to 25% and I restarted my phone without removing it from the charger and after it booted back it it's showing 50%, I restarted a few times, tried a cold boot, it's still 50%.
Is this a known issue with this phone? does anyone know what's causing this? I've never had this happen before.
EDIT: After this happened I ran my battery to 0% so I can attempt a battery calibration and when I poped it on the charger it showed my battery was actually 0% and showed a yellow hazard triangle thing (normally it only drops to 1% and there has never been a yellow triangle before)
Sometimes the Android system can incorrectly report a battery charged. I have had it happen to me on my Nexus by about 10%, but have not had it happen to me on my G3. I would not worry about it too much if it only happened to you once. If in continues you to jump around in battery percentage, then I would suggest getting a replacement battery. Keep in mind to try not to leave it charging for very long after reaching 100%, from my experience it can effect a battery's ability to hold a charge if that is done repeatedly. Which means do not leave it charging overnight while you are sleeping. Also I would not suggest running it until 0%, I would imagine a sudden shut down of the Android Operating system is not a healthy thing for it either. Just like it is not good to go up to a computer and just pull the power cord.

Thanks for the input.
I never leave my phone on the charger while I sleep since it only drops 1% while I sleep. My phone actually only goes on the charger like 3 times a month
I know it's not good to fully drain the battery very much, I was just draining it to attempt a battery calibration in the os. And when I do this my phone usually only drops to 1% then dies, but all of a sudden it dropped to 0% this time and showed a big yellow triangle with a big exclamation mark in it
Anyways I reflashed my rom in hopes I can flush the problem out. In 4 months of owning this phone I've never seen this warning before.
This is almost exactly what happened with my old phone (Samsung Captivate Glide). If this continues to happen, it is one of the first signs of the battery failing. But if this is a one time thing, I wouldn't worry about it.
In my case, the battery was going bad. It started going from any % battery, down to 0 instantly, forcing a shutdown. After rebooting, It would show a decent charge (~60% most of the time), but would do the same thing within 5 minutes. At first it only acted up like this once a month, but it became more and more frequent that it happened every day, after using the phone for only 15 minutes. The only fix is to get a replacement battery.

tyvm, This is extremely helpful info to keep in mind. Now that you mention it I have seen the battery kinda swollen up a couple times when it got hot, only ever so slightly but I did notice it.
If my issue persists i'll defnitly try a new battery, thanks for the tip
Hello guys, I put my watch on the charger last night before sleep, but found the watch not charged at all and automatically turned off when I woke up this morning. So I put it on my charger again, and a battery icon showed up on the screen with the white LED indicator on the charger on for about only 10s. Then everything went off. Tried holding the power button for 30s but nothing happened. I am frustrated and feel like the watch is totally dead, giving no response at all. Do you guys have any suggestion on this?
---Update---
The Moto360 finally turned on after I left it on the charger for an entire morning. Seems like it took some hours to charge for the initial 10% battery to boot the watch, and it starts to charge like normal afterwards. Still, it is unsettling that it may take hours to bring the battery back to life every time the watch is out of battery...
