I pugged my g4 in for the night, but I didn't turn it off because it was download a couple apps ( they would have finished pretty soon though) when I woke up it was only at 70%. I pugged it in at 30%. Why did it only get to 70% overnight? The screen was off the whole time. I turned my phone off and it's charging faster now. I'm using the stock charger.

Did you make sure everything was plugged in all the way? With my nexus 5 if I didn't make sure the plug as pushed in all the way to the phone it would charge slow at usb rate.

Had Desire two weeks with no issues but suddenly it won't do a full charge and stops at 98%. Have to Reconnect lead to get to 100% but once removed it drops to 98 again and then down very quickly. On TMob with the older firmware.
Is the firmware the issue causing this? I have read elsewhere of others with same issue. I have no widgets running and no auto updates. Also phone on 2g only when I'm using net otherwise its off.
Any ideas?
Think this is by design - if the battery is already over 90% and you stick it on charge will not charge until it drops below 90% and then will charge upto 100%.

My battery is usually between 30% and 18% remaining!
my battery sometimes charges til 90% only, and then the light goes green. I have to reconnect the charger and then it charges to 100%. (sometimes)
I hope its a firmware issue with the charging! (older tmobile firmware here)
make sure you have fully discharged then recharged 3 times, then leave it on charge over night
also make sure you are charging with the charger provided and not another HTC charger or via the pc
I've noticed that since I upgraded to CM-101 (I'm now on 106) that my battery takes FOREVER to charge. For instance, last night I went to bed around 1am and put my phone on the wall charger it was on 17% and when I unplugged it at 9am it was only 67% charged.
I'm at work right now and I plugged my phone about two hours ago and it was at 50% - two hours later and it's at 64%. Before it would at least be at 80% by now.
I haven't installed anything that I would think affect this (no major notifications, etc..)

Check your wake time, it could be that your phone is staying awake and sucking up the juice that should be charging it. Also, does your battery die quickly? A possible culprit could be tango, it has a bug that doesn't allow the phone to sleep.
Download Watchdog Lite and see what's going on in the background.

I'll check out watchdog lite and see what it tells me. It did it again last night. I plugged it in at 12:30am and was at 23% - this morning I woke up at 9am and it was only at 89%. I turned it off and left it charging another 15 minutes and it was up to 96% when I turned it back on. With light usage (20minutes using Music and checking email/SMS message a few times) it's now 11:42am and my battery is down to 51%. It hasn't been this bad in at least a couple of months.
The only that I did over the weekend out of the ordinary was use one of those AA powered portable-chargers that I bought at a drugstore because I was down to 16% and wasn't going to be near a charger all day/evening. Could that have messed something up with my battery?
Worst ever
Mine too!!! this is crazy!!! my O2X take forever to charge and this not my first smart phone... i had HD2, touch pro, desire... all HTC. The only thing is this samsung n dual-core... doesnt make sense!!! so far anybody has resolution for this? HELP!!!!
Same with mine. Did you guys do the OTA update? I did it to watch Green Hornet and it wasn't doing it before.
I plugged it in at 1am @ around 50-60% and woke up at 8am and it was only @ 88%!
I used the wall charger, so it should be getting 1 amp.
UPDATE:
f*cking duh! ooops, my bad! I was developing last night and left STAY AWAKE WHILE CHARGING enabled!
using the fast adaptive charger, it goes to 100%, i reboot, replug power, and it's down to 98%. Is this normal behavior?

Your not alone, I did the same thing, kinda, fast charged to 100 on, then turned it off and plugged it in and it read 98% while off so I let it go to 100, turned the phone on, then it kinda dropped fast to 97
It's normal. The phone charges to 100%, then waits for the battery drops a bit before charging it up to 100% again, and so on.
So 97-100% is meaningless?
saw 96% after i plugged it in, , my ocd is itching, should i be concerned that it didn't get a full charge or is this all facetious battery reporting?
and unrelated :
Default apps, i keep getting prompted every single time... why?
Question guys... I just got my Moto 360, and I love it. For the past two nights, I';ve gone to bed with the watch being around 50% battery. I put it in the charger, it shows it's charging, and I go to bed. I wake up and the watch is off, and cannot turn on. I take it off of the charger, wait a couple of minutes, put it back on the charger and the white charging light comes on, and it shows completely drained.
Why is my watch draining while in the charger?
Is it paired with the phone?
Maybe some app is draining the battery...
Yes, it is paired with the phone and remains in the charger all night. Even if apps are draining it, it should still be charging as its in the charger, correct?
qi charging is like usb charging. its slooowwwww, so if a rogue app is on board causing mischief, the charge of the wireless charger may not keep up.
Make sure the light on the bottom of the charger is on. Because if it gets too far away it drains.
I had this issue the first night I got my watch. It was quite disconcerting watching as the battery level decreased while it was on the charger!
I solved it by restarting the watch, switching to the default watch face and putting it in theatre mode while charging.
It hasn't had the problem since and I've now got the 500px watch face (it's beautiful!) and the watch charges in around an hour from <10%.

Thanks for the tips all. I"ll try all of this and report back.
HI,
I am having this issue, however I had my watch at 90%.
I then try to charge my watch and basically it does not charge and it seems like it is discharging. I still get the charging screen with the blue circle.
I have try the charging on both the standard dock charger and another Qi charger i have and I get the same issue.
I have factory reset my watch and it doesn't work. I cannot charge my watch now and now I cannot set my watch as I am not at the 80% needed to set it up
I have turned my watch off and I am at around 40%. I have left the watch on the charger when off and I can get like 1 or 2% charge in per hour... Anyone has this issue?
I am on the newer 5.1.1 update.
I'd bet that's down to a bad lead
Update to my problem, the device can only charge when it goes down to around 25%. Anything above that it would refuse to charge.
I have informed Motorola and will be sending it in for repair or replacement.

Good luck with that! My battery is starting to act up like that as well.
I have the same issue. My watch charges, I can see it going up. But, if I leave it on the charger over night, I assume it reaches 100% and by morning has depleted and shut down. The charger as well is shut off (no light on the bottom). I have to unplug and plug it back in to get it to start charging my watch again.
I find this from time to time; I absolutely double check to see whether the light is on at the bottom of the charger every time I put my Moto 360 in the cradle. If it is off, I unplug everything, replug everything back in and make sure I have the LED lit. This seems to be a problem with some of the chargers. Also, I typically put the watch in airplane mode when I put it in the charger overnight. There's not point in it "talking" to the phone while I'm not awake. (I don't know what they'd talk about anyway).
Anyone having an issue with their phone only charging to 98%? It will only each 100% if I unplug it for a bit once it reaches 98% and then plug it back in.

not seeing that on mine.
It does this by design. It prevents battery damage and prolongs battery life (in terms of life expectancy and usability over years).

I've had the 98% issue since day 1. I've never seen 100%. It appears to be a very rare issue. Otherwise my battery performance is great!

that happened top me on my first charge
just give it a couple charges it will start going to 100
I have to say battery life is great for me on pixel 2 xl. every time i charge it will go all the way to 100 %.
Hmm, I've charged it overnight for awhile now and it still won't get to 100%. It'll say that it's fully charged but will just show 98%
Experienced the same thing on my Pixel 2 XL. I did manage to fix it by powering the phone off for 10mins with it plugged in/charging. Once rebooted it showed 100%. Otherwise it will stay at 98 or 99% forever...
Strange thing happened yesterday. It finally charged to 100% and 5 minutes later I unlock the phone and its back down to 99% while still plugged in to the OEM wall charger (showing charging rapidly).
Copy and paste from my post in the Real Life Review section:
I would leave my 2 XL charging overnight (stock charger and cable) and when I wake up around 7-8 hours later, the percentage would either be 97%, 98%, or 99%. I've rarely seen my phone go to 100% since getting it on the 18th.
Whenever the battery hits 50% and I go and charge it mid-day, it would take a painfully long time to charge up after around the 85% mark (the general consensus and expected). I would check and it would be at 99%. After around 10 minutes, I check again and it shows 98%.
Needless to say, I disabled "show battery percentage". If the battery icon is full, then it's 100% to me.
I have this with my 2 xl too. It'll stop at 98-99, and if I unplug/plug back in a few times or reboot a few times it'll eventually get to 100. But it'll drop from 100 only after a few minutes even unused. Not sure if by design or a minor hardware issue.
Mine was charging overnight to 100% now for the last 2 or 3 days it's only been going to 98% overnight. Battery life is still good though.
I was wondering of was something to do with Battery Stats, maybe needs cache cleared or resetting somehow.
Actually I cannot even get mine to charge to 100%

Actually I cannot get mine to charge to 100 percent except two charges ago. That being said there must be something wrong as using the white charger and cable to go from 2% - 98% it took more than 5 hours ! I cannot get it to go past 99 % and I have been charging with phone off then with on and then according to Google support tried safemode but still no difference. Highly frustrating for a $1k phone. I finally shut phone off for the last 20 minutes and then checked the charge and it is now at 100% but what a battle and a SLOW SLOW charging phone.
I never charge mine to 100%, I usually take it off the charger around 85%. Not had any battery problems, don't think it's ever necessary to hit 100%.
I've had the opposite. Wake up it's 100. Listen to music on the way to work for about an hour (bluetooth). When I get there it is still 100 percent. Put it in pocket for another hour, check phone, 96%.
I turned off my phone when plugging it in last night hoping to make this go away.
When I turned it back on this morning... still only 98%...
