Two days ago I put my 5t on to charge (latest stock, rooted with late Magisk). It reached 97% then stopped. Tried disconnecting cable , rebooting, tried with my usual Samsung charger (I avoid fast charging where possible), then with OnePlus block, but no change. Finally, I switched the phone off, and it charged. Then this morning my phone was down to 15% so plugged in my the bedside (generic charger and lead). Charging started. I fell asleep at around 40%. When I woke it had stopped at 66%. Power off, charging started so I powered on with lead attached and it continued to charge, but stopped after a few minutes.
This morning the battery had gone down to 35%. Plugged it is, and it started charging. Got to 70% and stopped. Used the phone disconnected for a while, then into desk charger - no charging! Very odd.
Update: the phone now charges only for a few minutes when it is switched on (both normal and Dash speeds work). If I turn the phone off, it charges normally. OnePlus have suggested a factory reset, but I'm reluctant to do that until I'm sure I can restore everything quickly and without too much risk. A colleague has suggested allowing the battery to die completely, then charging, as It solved a similar problem on an earlier OnePlus.
Last night I set up Google Drive so I can be prepared for a factory reset. I left the WiFi on overnight and this morning Drive showed it had done a backup. I plugged the charger in, and it started charging... and continued to charge. AT 70% (was 30%) I switced off Wifi. Maybe just coincidence, but charging stopped at that exact moment. Can't get it charging again, Wifi or not!
Further update: I got it charging again after leaving it overnight. Once again, it stopped at 70%. So this time I let it run completely flat and used the Dash charger and it got to 100%. Great. Then this evening, when it had dropped to 35% I charged again. Kept charging, then stopped at 70%!!!

I have a wierd issue on the new purchased TP2.
I am recently I owner of Tytn II, just switched over to TP2. Once I received the TP2, it came in a full battery status. Then I used it all up and then proceed to my 1st charge ( over 12 hours, with phone off)
Things happened after I woke up in the morning.
1. No lights on for charging ( I assume that's a new feature when battery is full, instead of charging when red )
2. once I turned on and shows only 45-50% of battery status.
So I used it all up again, and see if it charges on the this time.
I am just wondering if anyone have this charging issue.
Dude, you are not treating your battery correctly. The below link has some useful info. Especially the link in post 3 by Sjuust.

Btw, when it's charging, the status light will be a solid amber. When fully charged, it's a solid green. If there's no light, check your wires and stuff. Perhaps it's a bad socket.
Just doing a follow-up on the issue, the 2nd time not successful too
I tried and it worked only when I turn the device on to get a full charge.
Anyone think it's weird
Seems you mini usb does not connect propper. Try another cable, if this works you know the problem.
Or: press the male side of the mini usb each direction until you see a light burning. If this happens the usb opening in the phone is broken and you should get it fixed.
If this all does not work, still get it fixed. It's probably not the battery, but the usb opening in your phone.

that is very unusual as when phone is fully charged it stays on constant green light(led). at no time should it go off. unfortunately your battery may just need a few more normal charging cycles to achieve its full potential. if the led light goes off that is another issue! have you added any battery customizations?
Same problem here
I have - more or less - the same issue as D810Noob. My TP2 came fully charged out of the box. First time I charged it, the amber light was on during charging. Next morning no light was shown. I am not sure, but as I recall it, the battery was 100% charged. In the recent days, after one night charging (phone switched off) the green light is being shown but battery meter shows 89% (yesterday) or 91% (this morning). I have the 1% increment battery driver installed with the greenbatteryfix-icon installed.
This morning, after having switched on the phone and after having been confronted with 91% charge status, I reconnected the phone to the charger until it reached 100% (left the phone on during charging). With only two calls of two minutes in total and gprs (no hsdpa) running for two mail accounts, battery status dropped two 80% in 5:30 hrs. Never had such a drain with my TYTN2 that had (more or less) the same configuration.
It may very well be that my battery is not (yet) calibrated correctly, albeit that I fully discharged it last night. I will redo this a couple of times before returning to the shop, but this needs to be improved otherwise I will go back to my TYTN2.

Still having this issue. I have drained my phone completely yesterday evening until it switched off itself. Ten restarted until it switched off again. Then had it charge for forteen hours (phone switched off). When I switched on the phone this morning, battery meter showed 96%. A bit more than an hour later it shows 80%. Had no phone calls, only receipt of six emails and half an hour drive in my car with BT connection. BT is on continiously, BTW.
This does not look good, does it? Anyone who can shine a light on this?
Cheers, Dela
PS: the charging light was green when I took it off the charger this morning, whilst the battery meter showing the 96% charge status right after the startup.
ok, over the last week or so ive had this issue, gradually getting worse...
my battery will charge to around 40-45% and then charging will slow right down.
two hours later, it will be on around 50% if im lucky, and about 3 more further hours before i hit 60% (this is some of the time, other times, it just remains on its current charge%)
if i leave it overnight for about 10hours or so, highest it goes to now is about 73%, but this is rare, usually 45-50%ish.
ive tested with htc ac wall charger, htc usb, blackberry charger, car charger and a random microusb wallcharger. all have same issue.
when tested with two friends desire hd's on different days, my battery charged perfectly, and at the normal gradient speed over the % range. and my phone reads it correctly at the 100%-98% when back in my phone after change back.
i thought it was down to my phone, just dont know if its rom or hardware. shud i factory restore, or claim on insurance?
i have another issue here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18480603&posted=1#post18480603
which also applies to the question of restore or insurance...
thanks
What Rom are you using, i am using runny 2.2 only 62% charge in 6 hours
9 hours later on battery only upto 68% i have amazing battery life now
i'm using runny 2.2.....left it on charge for 2 hours with phone on, but wifi and everything off and it had only gone up 2% ! !
Turned phone off and plugged in charger, 30 mins later, only went up 1% ! !
72% charge at this point.
So took it off charge, put it in my pocket, went upstairs to bed, turned it on to set alarm and it said 100% on battery....weird!!

Lol this is an issue with calibration. The battery is charging but the software doesnt report it.
You have to charge the phone for as long as possible so you know it is on 100% whether the software says it or not, go into CWM, wipe the battery stats and then let the battery drain fully until it shuts down by itself. Then plug it in and leave it until you know for certain it is at 100%. If the green light comes on leave it for an additional half an hour. Then it will be fixed.
ive only recently got this handset, as last one was replaced on insurance a month or so ago, and its runuing on stock rom with latest updates....?
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.
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?
HI can anyone tell me if there is any way to resolve this. I think is has started since doing the upgrade to Android 10 earlier this week.
I normally put my phone onto the wireless charger before going to bed and I have noticed recently that when I grab it in the morning the battery percentage is sitting around the 90% mark. I initially thought the charger was not able to charge to 100% but on further examination I see that it indeed charged to 100% after I placed it on the charger and then the charging stopped and the phone ran on battery until I removed it in the morning.
I confirmed this this morning by replacing it on the charger and watching it charge (like watching paint dry ). The charger light was blue while charging, when the phone hit 100% the charger light turned to green but after about 30s it completely switched off and so too did the indication on the lock screen that a charger is connected. Removing and reseating the phone started charging again.
It definitely looks to be software related as I did not have this problem last week. I just wanted to ask if anyone here has noticed this and knows of any workaround?
For the record I am running fast wireless charging with the samsung wireless charger that came with my wifes S8, that charger works perfectly with my older Note8. I have also tried switching to normal wireless charging speed with no success.

Unplug the charger from its power source and plug it in again, causing it to 'reboot'. Let us know the results. Note, there is an option to set the wireless charging to NOT be fast during certain hours of the day. I set mine so it charges slowly while I am sleeping - to put less stress on the battery. Your charger may be a little old as well if you got it with a note 8 or S8 - ?

IMO this is a good feature to stop the wireless charger cooking your battery.
Maybe turn down your AOD brightness or something, to use 10% within a couple of hours of being idle is pretty high. Maybe turning off fast wireless charging would extend the charge time so it finishes nearer to when you wake up could help too.
Thanks for the feedback however it does sound like workarounds for an issue that should not be present (apart from rebooting the charger which I will try when I get home).
For me wireless charging should act just like wired charging in that when it reaches 100% the phone should essentially run off the charger now and not use battery at all. Every other phone with wireless charging that I have had worked that way, this is just plain stupid.
Willhemmens its not a couple hours, looking at the battery graph if I go to bed at 10pm and put the phone on the charger it pretty much hits 100% around 11:30 and then is at 90% at 7am, so it is 10% over 7 hours which is ok in my books, but reality is that during this time the phone has another source of power that it can and should use. It did before I applied the Android 10 update.
I have had this issue every now and again, and I found that rebooting it takes care of the issue.
An update. This morning I tried my wife's wireless charger and when the phone reaches 100% it continues to show the charge icon. Put my wife's note 8 into the wireless charger and it exhibited my problem.
So it looks like this is a problem with the wireless charger and not the phone.
Thanks for the answers guys I am of to try buy a new wireless charger
edit - New charger solved the problem.
