Get Battery Monitor Widget from the Market and looksee what current is going in or out of the battery during this period. Reset the Battery Usage stats by rebooting and then see what is consuming most. If you have GPS/Wireless/Bluetooth/Etc all turned on the drain can be 400 - 500 mA. If your charger is poor then it might not pump in what is draining out.

Current widget will not measure the ma correctly on the sensation. You will need to use battery monitor widget and set sensation in the settings. As far as i know battery monitor widget is the only one that will measure the ma correctly. I thought my phone had gone mad as well when i was using current widget until i found out the above info. hope this helps. There is a forum on xda for battery monitor widget somewhere. It's free on the market
well i tried: battery status, elixir and current widget the 3 give the same result, anyhow am trying battery monitor to check
but usually is that a normal behavior ?

could explain what ur are observing
Hey, (first Post )
I noticed that too (got a 1900 Anker). I Think, when you plug in the charger, Current Widget shows you how much V or A the battery gets from the charger. When disconnect the charger the widget shows you how much is left.. Just thinking

Battery taking long to get to 100%

Why does my Desire S take more than 2 hours to charge from 75% to 100%?
It gets to 75% quick enough...
Use some battery calibration tool from the Market once at 100 %. It should fix this
I have this exact same problem and have tried calibrating, charges to 70-80% really quickly then takes ages to charge every one per cent after that and battery monitor widget says I'm on ~4200mv already. Maybe the calibration isn't working but I've tried the calibration app and the deleting stats in recovery method. Not sure what next.
Sorry for partial thread hijack!!

Did u check
could be a problem with your charger? or power supply
Thanks for the info guys, I am not rooted, can I still wipe battery stats?
Also some Google engineer posted that wiping battery stats doesn't help.
I use my blackberry curve charger with desire S, may be I will try to use official charger....
Will post the time it takes once I have the stats...

It can be your Battery issue? Still under warranty? get it replaced xD
sometimes the charger you are using isnt made to charge the battery. meaning if you are charging thru a different charger it might take longer. or it can be that your battery is weak if the 75% gets chrrged quick

No issues like that. I suspect your system is reading the wrong stats.
Mime takes around 2 and a half hours to charge from a near flat battery.

suku_patel_22 any luck in resolving ur issue? or is it a faulty charger/battery? now is about 2.30am, started charging my phone since around 10/10.30pm. Had 2 htc charger, both giving me the same charge rate(coincidence?). Gonna try charging using usb via computer tomorrow to determine is it the charger that is at fault(if it charged faster on the computer).
-----------------(edit 1)-----------------
been reading, one post( i know shouldn't have stop searching after see-ing the 1st post that pop up in google) someone mention it is a rom related problem? but like many post in q&a the op just disappears.

Is it safe to charge the battery overnight?

Is it safe to charge the battery overnight?
I mean, charging more than 100%, charging over the 3-4 hours needed, charging for 7-8 hours..
I think it won't effect it cuz i charge my phone from overnight too.nothing happens.
when battery gets full it stops charging after that
Of course
I've been doing that for a year.
Usually my battery reaches 10% at the end of the day, then I just leave it charging over night.
Thanks, i've been doing it since I bought the phone but I've never really cared until now..
Do you guys turn off the phone before charging overnight?
No. I don't know how does it affect the quality/capacity of battery though!
I remember as a kid I had those RC-cars and there were always warnings about how it will 'destroy' the battery if it is charged for too long. lol.
I don't have any battery problems.
Just make sure your LED isn't turned on!
I once forgot it on overnight...
It's a little dimmer now. :c
They said once it reachs 100% to stop charging. It can have an negative impact on your battery. Lithium technology or not. But I do it too. I think it just shorten the life span on a slow scale.

Here is the thing...
Yes the phone has a voltage shut off when it reached 100%.
However, it will start to drain battery immediately once it cuts off charging. Even when idle with teh screen off it uses some power. And once it drops to 99% it will start charging again until it reached 100%.
Depending on your set up and how much the phone runs when idle it would keep 'topping off' the battery several times overnight. This is harsh on the battery.
So it's not like once it cuts off charging it stays off until it's unplugged and replugged in. It'll keep charging everytime it drops to 99%

Moto G battery drain.

Hello. My Moto G since I bought it has some major battery issues. It charges very slowly on the USB charger and a range of wall chargers. One night the phone turned itself off within 10 minutes of me putting it down from 35% battery to 0%. Then last night I was charging it and saw it go from 65% to fully charged in a split second. From the moment I unplug it after full charge, it will last 7 hours with moderate use. Mainly msging on whatsapp andbrowsing in chrome. So I do use it a lot in those hours whilst I'm out etc but it seems to drain whilst it's in my pocket with the screen off. The screen on time has never passed 3.5 hours with brightness on lowest.
I don't find that too bad but the random flash drainage and charging of the battery I have experienced is concerning. I mainly have 3G/H+ on and very few apps other than whatsapp and instagram plus chrome. I have tried a factory reset too. The battery usage stats is just my screen And the usual stuff.
I really think you should considering buying a new charger.

If not a new charger, return it... :S

Agreed, just return it, it's clearly faulty.

It seems pretty common this battery issues with Moto G, i was considering buying one but now i'm not so sure..
Hmm, today I carged with iPad charger (2A) and after unplug, half hour later (autosync is disabled, no games, no music, no chat etc, all possible apps disabled, not rooted) checking once email the battery level was 87%.
Strange.
I read somewhere that charging at 2A well degrade the battery with the benefit of charging it faster. Is this true?

There is current limiting built-in, with Li-ion so you won't damage or over-charge.
However, heat generated by long-term charging can degrade the battery....
See this:
Battery Charge Levels
Quite simply, it is not possible to overcharge a cell phone battery. However, leaving it plugged in for more that 24 hours can cause it to overheat, thereby shortening its overall lifespan. Most Li-ion batteries and chargers contain internal circuitry that stops the charging when it hits 100 percent, but always unplug it after long charging intervals, just to be safe.

Nexus 5 Battery Problem

I have a problem with the battery.
I`m running cw11 m6.
The battery indicator in the status bar sometimes jumps back and forth.
I reset the battery stats via the app "battery calibration".
I have not plugged in the charging cable during this time.
Is the battery broken or a rom bug?
Lock on the picture:
It happens. The graph is an estimation only. It periodically checks the battery Voltage for an accurate reading and adjusts the graph accordingly.
Wiping battery stats won't help anything.
[Info] What are battery stats and is wiping them helpful?

That is a lot more extreme than I've ever seen. Full charge your phone over night and see what happens after.
You don't need any app to calibrate your battery. It self calibrates every time you full charge your phone. By using something like Current Widget you can check when the phone is actually fully charged since it's not when it first reaches 100%.
