So It's new...and been draining the phone and charging for 14 hours like manual said
woke up this morning and its fully charged (shows green)...unplugged the charger and the light was still solid green but wont turn on!
whats going on here?
thanks for the help in advance!
(btw, looked in forums, havent been able to see anything similar to this)
hrmmm
soooo after waiting for a long time and not being able to take off the battery... the green "fully charged" light came off.
I turned it on and the ATT symbol came on and then it died...so plugging in the charger at this point and turning it on worked...seems as though the battery was at 0%
which doesnt make sense since I charged it a full day and then the green light came on...
has anyone else had this problem?

Is anyone else experiencing a problem with battery charging on JF's ADP 1.5 release?
I've got this issue where I plug my phone in to the wall charger at night and it's on a cheap lamp timer so that it doesn't start to charge until 1.25 hours before I leave for work to prevent overcharging. Since I updated to 1.5 it seems that when the phone is On and starts the wall charge it treats it like a trickle charge as if it were connected via USB to a computer. Only after I turn the phone off does it rapidly charge like it should via the wall charger. Its a little annoying since the first day after the 1.5 update I didn't notice it and went in to work with a half charged battery. Now I know to look out for it and go turn the phone off when I wake up and by the time I'm ready to leave for work it's fully charged.

Wait, so does G1 have overcharge protection or doesn't it??
I didn't think it was necessary to protect from overcharging either.
I don't see this problem with my JF1.5 though - I plug it in at night and it charges full for when I wake up the next morning.

it should as that is very simple technology and is standard in many cheap devices now, so my guess is it would be in g1 or there would be a heck of alot more problems.........
on another note....ive noticed with JF 1.5 my battery icon gets a little stuck.....i thought it was an improvement of battery life until yesterday it stayed at 100% for like 5 hours but then dropped to 80% out of no where when i installed an app.......is anyone else having this issue??
I use battery graph from the market to see my battery charge over time. That's how I know that it "trickle" charges for me when connected to the wall charger until I turn the phone off.
BTW, when I turn the phone off then back on after waking up it does rapidly charge properly as well. Seems like it just needs a reboot for it to work right.
...and I'm sure that the G1 does have built-in overcharge protection, I just don't really trust it to do as good of a job as my cheap lamp timer does
Turn off your phone, remove you batter, put it back in, and turn your phone on. Everything should reset and be back to normal.
will try tonight.
no problem the power indicator or measurer is just more accurate in the 1.5 builds
i agree, used to fully charge in about an hour and a half, now its been takeing about 4 hours to hit 100% from about 1/2 charge...
ive noticed the same thing.
My phone charges fine with both my regular G1 battery and my Seidio Extended 2600mAh battery since my upgrade to JF ADP V1.50.
mine is on the trickle charge bug as well. phone stays cold throughout the 2 hours i've had it plugged in and its only at 68% charge. Brought it down to around 30% charge when I plugged it in to the wall.
My phone had the same problem when i updated to any of the 1.5 builds w/ radio. today, i drained the battery all the way until the phone died and took the battery out for about a min. Put it back in and started charging. My phone went back to charging normally up to 100% within ~2.5hrs. I've still yet to see how long this full battery will last until later today. Normally, i would get up to 2 days easy w/out charging on normal usage (a text or 5 min phone call here and there), 2G only, wifi disabled, bluetooth disabled. I'll let you guys know how it goes later.
This problem happens when the G1 is offline (airplane mode). When its online there is no problem with charging
mine has been acting weird since going to jf 1.5
last night i plugged it in at like 33% charged, and like 3 hours later it was at like 65%
i unplugged it, turned it off. turned it back on and when i plugged it in it was 100%.
before i charged it (when it was at 33%) i yanked the battery for a few seconds then put it back in then started to charge.
i'm going to do what JDMr2 did and let it die, yank the battery for a min then charge it and see how it goes.
It's always been charging more slowly on Cupcake than 1.x, BUT the battery lasts much, much longer.
well I took the battery out for a minute then put it back in. I left the phone on at night and plugged in the wall charger that's on my lamp timer before going to sleep. I woke up in the morning and looked at it in battery grapher and noticed that it rapidly charged from 30% until 60% then began to trickle charge the rest of the way up to 72% when I looked at the graph. I rebooted the phone, plugged it back in to the wall charger and it rapidly charged the rest of the way to 100%.
So, taking the battery out did not solve it. But interestingly I did discover that it rapidly charges until 60% then it switched into trickle charge mode. This is only after one observation however.
I've been having this problem as well but even prior to JF's version. I originally upgraded to the stock 1.5 from HTC (radio then firmware) and noticed the very slow charge times. I've tried pulling the battery and restarting but that hasnt changed anything. In the process now of completely draining the unit and then going to try again from there.
My G1 charges like normal.
JF1.5 ADP.
JF 1.5 nothing else fancy and I have noticed that charging has went from 45 mins or so to hours. Last night from amber it took 5 or so hours to go green. They definitely changed how the phone charges. Now my battery info says 73% and it has been moderately used for 7 hours. Looks like they went in a positive direction.
The last couple of days I've noticed something strange with my battery. I keep it on the charger all night and when I get up in the morning my phone says the battery is at 100% and the charge LED is green. The instant I pull my phone off the charger it drops a couple percent. I thought that was strange so this morning instead of pulling the phone off I just shut it down. Once the phone was completely off the LED went from Green to Orange as if it was charging again. It look another 20 minutes to turn green again. I powered the phone up and as soon as sense is loaded I am back to 93% battery.
Anyone else see this? I've wiped battery stats and did the whole calibration but that didn't seem to fix the issue.
That is normal... Once the batt hits 100%, the charger goes off and lets it drop to 95% or so and starts charging again. It does this to protect the battery. Also when you turn off, it will restart the charge.
The battery is lying, but that's not such a bad thing.

My battery has been acting up the last few days as well. As in, going from a full charge to ~35% in 3 hours and then down to ~12% an hour later. No new apps added, nothing out of the ordinary done. Regular uses and charging cycle. I normally reset my battery stats when I flash a new incarnation of a new ROM, but after a couple of days everything seems to be back to normal.
I've been baffled by this, but have yet to find the culprit. An app or searching for signal are my only thoughts.

This makes perfect sense, thank you for the link!
When I'm charging the banker battery, the notification will go green so I think its fully charged. But I've noticed that when I unhook the cable and use the phone for a while, then plug it back in, the notification light lights green. So I'm wondering, does the light turn green for the banker battery at a certain level even though its not fully charged?
Should I let it sit on the charger a couple more hours after the light turns green?

Charge it til it turns green, then turn the device off and charge it for another hour with it being off and it will be fully charged. This is known as bump charging, but does decrease the long-term life of your battery if it is done too often.

+1 to that!
try this: charge battery until the LED turns green. Unplug & then wait until your battery is no longer showing 100% before you try to plug it back in. Mine will show 100% for a while before going down in percentage.
I thought android phones showed green at some point in the 90 percentile range? So if your at 98% it will still be green.
From what I understand because of the old battery the phone thinks that the capacity of current battery is the same. So unless you rooted your phone and wiped battery stats, you are not reaching the full potential of your battery. Unless you turn off your phone and let the hardware judge when the battery is full.
So I plugged my GN in last night and stayed up late enough to see it reach 100%, but I left it charging all night. When I woke up this morning, the lock screen said Charged but my battery widget said 97%. This has happened a few times and every time I can fix it by just unplugging it and plugging it back in. Anyone know why it does this? Could it be because I get lots of emails at night and the LED running all night decreases the battery a little? Thanks!
I think it stops charging when it reaches 100%, therefore the 3% may be lost during that time. This is a good thing, because a laptop, or anything else, eventually the battery will go bad. When you unplug it, then plug it back in, it can cause that battery to go bad faster. Again, I think this is it. My phone seems to do that. I would not worry about it though.
Hi there. Ive looked all over the net to figure out this problem i have with a samsung i9505.
Phone appears to be running fine . My concern is when i charge the phone it seems to charge properly, but when it gets to %100 it just keeps going going and more going for hrs and the green light wont come on saying its finished charging remove the charger. Ive done resets updated to lolipop tried different chargers and battery.
It red light just stays on at %100 with the battery charging icon still saying its charging
Turn the phone off and plugged the charger in and it juzt sits on %99
Im fairly sure its probly not charging but just wondering why it wont say green light finishef charging please remove charger
Any ideas?
After last night i tried something, it was sitting on %100 for ages showing its charging, so went to bed with it on and it took like 5 hrs for it to go green. im thinking yay
But no, i wiped the cache did a full reset and even in aeroplane mode with everything off and nothing installed after the reset the battery is still going down really fast in standby mode like %10 per hr..
Seems like the phone hasnt got the right info about the battery or something its just all haywire
