G Tablet running Vegan 5.1.1 charging weirdness - General Questions and Answers

When I charge my GTab the red light stays solid lit until it hits about 96%. Once it hits between 94 and 96% the red light flashes and it doesn't charge any further.
Is this normal? Is it software or hardware causing it to stay at 96% and never get to 100? I've tried turning off the tablet and charging and it seems to have the same result.
Anyone else experiencing this?

quick search shows this is a known issue and not a defect.

Tilt fully charged but won't turn on

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?

What does a Keyboard Dock Orange LED Flashing ON & OFF mean?

Hi all,
I just noticed a problem today.
When I plugged my charger cable into the Asus TF300T Keyboard Dock as I normally do, instead of just glowing a solid orange, I'm getting a flashing orange light.
I tried to look in the documentation to see what a flashing light means and I can't find anything.
I tested plugging in the charger directly into the tablet itself and that LED glows a solid orange as it should.
Does anyone know what the flashing orange means?
Thanks
Rob

UPDATE: Seem search did not find anything before I posted this thread. I ended up finding a post where someone said the cable might be bad. I wiggled the cable and now it went back to a solid orange. Maybe I should call Asus and have then replace the cable?
Yeah I have gotten a flashing orange light a few times now. The light flashes when the dock battery is low. The dock is designed to drain itself before the tablets battery. I have used it docked for over two hours with the light flashing. When I plug it into the wall it will continue to flash till the battery is charged to a certain percent. I haven't seen it on any websites or manuals however if you have a laptop and the battery gets to a critical level they it will also flash. Keep it plugged in and charge it up and it should go back to solid.
I think that is normal... I have an Asus netbook that also flashes the battery led when it is lower than 10%. I think it is there just to warn you that the battery is over.
Still, this shouldn't happen on a dock, since you can use it without battery, and it gets pretty annoying...
It's a 2-step charging process. If the dock is used it will go to 0% by transferring charge to the tablet. Plugging the cable into the dock starts to charge it but at the same time it discharges into the tablet. The flashing light is just a low power warning on the dock, nothing to worry about.
My led is flashing RED, 2 seconds interval, I suspect a fully depleted or dead battery, anybody seen a RED light instead of orange please? Thank you.

Never seen a red flashing light on mine. Does it respond to charging?
My battery is on 0% and not charging, maybe dead, I think this is the sign, a 2 sec red color on/off pulse.
I think is red only when battery is heavily depleted.

Issues with the dock battery.

After updating to KatshMallow #26 I noticed my dock battery was never charging above 92%. I plugged the dock in alone overnight and the next morning it only shwed 87%. So I connect the tablet and ran it down until it shut off. Prior to shutting down the dock battery indicator never changed from 92%. I also didn't see any indication that the tablet was drawing from the dock battery. I plugged in the dock with the tablet attached and once I saw the green light on the tablet I powered it up. Dock battery = 87%, Tablet battery 100%. I left it plugged in with the tablet attached overnight and nothing changed. Same indications the next morning. Dock never moves from 87% no matter what I do. I installed Dual Battery widget and it only shows one battery. ???
Not sure what happened, and I don't think the update has anything to do with the issue. The dock battery has probably been going south for a while but I didn't notice it until I updated to #26. I have searched numerous threads looking for comparable issues but nothing matches. Even so I tried some of the different apps suggested with no luck. It is puzzling that Dual Battery Widget only shows 1 battery when the Asus indicators show 2.
I have found a replacement battery for $29.00 but before I spend the loot and risk trashing my dock I would like to be certain that it truly is a bad battery and not some flukey software issue that I can fix. Also, all other features on the dock work fine.
Any suggestions?
UPDATE: After leaving the tablet and dock combo unplugged for most of the morning, the orange power light on the dock began to flash. Once I plugged it in, it immediately went solid orange. My understanding is that the light flashes when the battery level gets below 10%. So is it working properly except the screen indicator is lying to me?

Battery charging LED not showing lately

Up until the past few weeks, my LED indicator would glow green. After it reaches 100%, it turns off. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm using official CM13.1.2

Pixel 3 stuck at 92%

Hi guys I have a pixel 3 and it's stuck at 92% charge on the battery icon no matter whether I unplug it I have a plugin
Now the device seems to charge properly it just doesn't update the charging icon or show the correct status in the icon I tried to re calibrate the battery using accu battery I've also tried factory resetting my device with numerous different wrong and also stock and non stock tried different dates of stock roms so that I could go back to an older as it could have been an update so I was just making sure that it wasn't causing this issue
Any advise would be greatly appreciated as it's really quite annoying to have a phone that works well but the charging icon doesn't do the correct charge so I don't know whether I'm half battery or full battery
I had the stuck battery level indicator issue on my Pixel 3. Symptoms I had noted were the stuck battery level at 34%, random shutoffs, wildly fluctuating low amperage charging values. Tried many of the fixes on the internet without much luck. Finally tried a variation of one that has worked so far. The fix for me was running the battery out and powering on till no screen activity method. The twist I added to this method is that I then got a clamp and clamped the power button into the on position and left it clamped for 24 hours. I then removed the clamp, plugged the charger in and then turned it on. To my delight, the battery level had dropped to 0% and the charging current was 1.5 amps. I am writing this just after the fix and charge level is now 60%, so hopefully it will continue working as it should. I think the fix is that the battery must be thoroughly and fully discharged, but that is just me speculating. Anyway, thanks for all the info you share and hopefully this will help someone with the same problem.
