Is it just me - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Or does the battery charge ridiculously slowly?
On my Droid 2 I can do a full charge in under an hour, yet I've had my nexus on charge for three now, and I'm only at 53%.

if you notice on the nexus s ac charger, its rated at 0.7A compared to 1.0A that most chargers are. usb will recharge at 0.5. So thats why, probably.

I've used my motorola chargers as well and they actually charge slower

Maybe your charger is old and tired. I don't know how true it is but I've been told that leaving wall warts plugged in when they're not being used contributes to eventual internal parts failure. I don't have any problems charging while on. It's not slow like others are saying. Maybe that's just the gsm version that's slow. I've monitored charging amperage and seen mine almost hit 1 amp, 1000 milliamps, when full on charging. I've got a usb jack on my car stereo that I use to charge the phone or headsets. I've got it wired hot all the time so I can put the stereo in standby mode and it supplies power to usb only. That way I can take the keys with me and still charge whatever. I'm always near my car so it's not like I'm leaving it that way for hours and leaving the car out of sight for very long.
Another thing, the phone will charge MUCH faster if it's off. Yes it's not useful to turn the phone off for awhile but it will get it up to a full charge way faster than keeping it on while charging.

I have the cdma ns4g
I've used 5+ different brand new chargers from various phones, and on three nexus s phones (one tmo, two sprint). All of them charge slowly.
I've also charged an og droid, 2 droid 2's, 2 x's, and an evo on them, which all fully charge within an hour.
(i have access to tons if phones since I sell then for bbm)
charging them powered off had minimal effect. Charging on ac power is much faster than in the car, however. I haven't charged a nexus in the car yet, tho.

same thing with me

ac will recharge at 0.7a out; usb(which includes your car charger) will recharge at 0.5a.

Can I make a suggestion just for testing purposes? Try using "battery monitor widget" and put it's widget on your home screen. Go into settings for the app and under monitoring, change the mA refresh to 5 seconds. Now when you charge, watch it's values. If it doesn't turn green while charging then restart the phone. That will help you know if it's being charged full on, in the 900's, or trickle, 99 and lower. Don't forget to change the setting for battery capacity to 1500 because sometimes it guesses the wrong value.

my ns takes about 4 hours to go from dead to completely charged (0-99)

I never have timed it. Maybe I should. I wouldn't think it would take that long. I could be wrong too. I should try sometime. I always charge mine overnight so I don't pay any attention to the time.

yeah, next time i'll take a screenshot of the battery usage graph, where you can see the battery time and the total time. it's also interesting to see the how the charge rate changes; it charges fastest up until about 80% and then it really slows down in the 90s.
it definitely feels like a long time for a full charge. but on the other hand i can get about 5 hours of constant netflix video streaming on a full charge.
note: i didn't watch movies on my ns for 5 hours straight, just put lotr on twice for research purposes

I've had this phone for about 5 days and it takes an extremely long time to charge. Twice I've had something drain my battery really quick and that rendered my phone useless for hours because I had to recharge it. If it doesn't improve, it is bad enough that for that reason alone I won't keep this phone.

Could it be that the phone is defective?

I've yet to be able to keep in plugged in until its fully charged except the first time.

Something is wrong. I've never experienced this. You might want to get your phone checked out by a repair center and or get a replacement phone or battery. That should not be happening to you.

yeah, I'm going to do a few different tests in the next few days. I was given the phone from a drawing at work, so I cannot exactly exchange it. I'll have to talk to sprint/sammy directly if I cannot figure it out.
It doesn't bother me much, I love the phone, but faster charging would be nice. I doubt that will happen, as both demo ns's in my store charge slowly.

Battery at 98% as soon as I unplugged

I installed the Serendipity Rom a few days ago and I noticed the battery goes down to 98% as soon as I unplugged. Some occassions I overcharge an hour after it has 100%, some occassions I unplugged as soon as it said 100%. Charged it with the phone on, and some occassions the phone off. I tried to use bump charging, but still the same issue.
I also notice the battery life is not as good as stock either. I used a Stock rogers froyo before.
Any ideas what might be the cause of this? How I use the phone is the same way. I think its the phone being on standby that's causing the drain. Usually when I sleep the phone goes down by about 2-3% in standy mode by the next morning. With this ROM it goes down like 8% during sleep.
Any ideas?
Edit: I did not realize this was in the development section. It was intended to be in Q/A
Run battery dead and do a full uninterrupted charge to 100%. Turn off any features or apps that would blatently be killing battery as well.

It's working properly. When 100% charge is reached the controller stops charging to prevent damage to the battery. It then lets the battery charge "float" down a few points before charging back up to 100% again. Depending on when you happen to unplug in one of these cycles, you might be anywhere between 97-98 and 100% charge.
This might be a better question for another section.
From what I understand its an issue with 2.2.1. There is nothing you can do to fix it. I also don't get great battery life with serendipity. I switched to the suckerpunch kernel to undervolt. Seems to be working out pretty well

It's not an issue like you said. It's a feature. Read the previous post.
The dropping to 98% is a Samsung thing, it's supposed to increase the life of your battery.
Yeah, i heard it does that to keep it from over charging when left plugged in.

It's a Li-on thing, not just Samsung. Same thing occurs with all lithium battery chargers (other phones, cameras, laptops) to prevent overcharging. Some other chargers kick back in as soon as it drops to 99% though, whereas this one does not.

That rogers stock must be nice, ATT stock gives you 50% battery in 4-5 hours :/

You can try this.
After full charged message comes up, unplug power cord, battery from 100% drop to 98% or 96% immediately.
Then plug power cord again, charge again until fully charge (again).
Unplug power cord, see if battery level can hold on 100%

What do you mean ?
My screen use auto brightness.
I get the same problem. But what I do is that I leave it for an extra 30min even after it says it's fully charged, that way when i unplug it, it will still be full.
Well, to wipe data and wipe factory reset before you flash a new rom may be helpful. And also, just ignore the 98% bat thing. It really doesn't matter.

The comment was in regards to your screen shot. What is the display time? Never seen display in the 60s personally...or even 70s for that matter.

battery charge taking a long time

The last few times I've charged my battery it's taken forever. I don't use my phone while it's charging and a minimal amount of apps are running in the background. This morning it took an hour for the battery to get from 68% to 78%. At that rate it would take practically all day to get a full charge.
I charged it though the wall outlet, not through the computer's usb port.
anyone else have this issue? Charging had been pretty quick up until a couple days ago. Come to think of it, I think this started the other day after I let the battery die all the way overnight.
Now when I try to charge it won't get past 82%. Tried to upload a pic but it wouldn't let me. Just stayed at 82% for about 90 minutes.

Did you flash another rom?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
when i have charged my phone it has been taking a long time to fully charge also.. I haven't thought too much of it since my phone lasts a solid 36-42hrs for each charge..
I've found the quickest way to charge the phone is to use the stock HTC charger (coming from a wall outlet) with brightness set to 0% and phone on standby.
It doesn't charge as fast as say, the iPhone, but it's still quicker then every Samsung device I've owned.
I am coming from the iphone and it takes a ridiculous long time to charge. Very annoying if you run out of battery and just want a quick 5min charge to get you some more minutes of usage.
No, I didn't flash another rom.
What's weird is that until recently it charged pretty quickly.
This pic shows how it wouldn't charge past 82% yesterday.

That's not normal, if you're stock. Were you using the supplied HTC charger? The only thing I can think of is you were using another USB charger and it wasn't supplying enough voltage. I notice that when I'm at work and I use my Kindle's charger, my phone takes longer to charge than when at home on the HTC-supplied charger.
Outside that, I'd say contact your carrier and get it swapped. Mine will charge from almost zero to full in about 2 hours on the HTC-provided charger.
From zero to 89% in only 4h. Charging via USB takes for ever...... =D

Charged for first time today and took 3.5 if not 4 hours today! I was shocked as my Galaxy Nexus only takes 2 hours literally.
For what it's worth, generally when I'm charging I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them, also, I'm not in love with that charger that came with the phone, I actually got a message at one point when plugged into it that I was using more power than the charger was providing..so..even when plugged into the charger I was draining battery at that point.
So, try turning off the extra radios when your not using them and charging, hopefully will see your charge times improve (just don't turn off the phone radio or you'll not get calls/sms..) If I want to quickly put a charge on it, of course, I'll turn it off for a bit while it's charging.
My phone always stops at 99%, never hit 100 with green light on, even when charging off.
I have not flashed a rom....straight stock.
I'm feeling like my battery is not getting the most juice because it's not properly calibrated.
Now also mine stops at 99% (1633/1650 mAh)
This is the 4th full charge.

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Huawei Nexus 6P can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Charges about 2% per minute from 0-50%, then does about 1% every 2 minutes from 50-100%.
Fastest charging phone I've ever had.
59% to full charge in about an hour, not bad IMO

I had a charge from 7% to 100% in hour and a half. (Having had the phone for a week, and this round had 50 and a half hours unplugged with around 5+ hours SOT, first day mostly LTE and commute to work, 2nd day home on wifi).

I think the OP means 1% every minute from 50 to 100. No way in hell is the phone doing .5% a minute charging on the fast charger.
I've went from 0 to 100 in about 1hr 20 mins.....fastest charging I have ever experienced.
I've seen 2740mah on ampere while charging. It charges fast, haven't timed it.

I actually have some concerns about fast charging and battery degradation. I'm not a battery expert but I have had a lot of Li-Ion IMR batteries for other electronic devices. I noticed that rapidly charging those batteries reduces battery life and charge capacity. Now I know the Nexus 6P has a Li-Poly or Li-Po battery and it has a sightly different composition than an IMR (Magnesium vs. Polymer) but does anyone know how Li-Po batteries handle repeated fast charging?
Charges faster than I expected... Even in my car.

What do you use in your car? I can't find a car charger from anywhere but China and it'll take a month to get here.
I was personally blown away at how fast it charges. I didn't time it but I was at 12%, plugged in, did some Web browsing and watched a bunch of you tube videos and I checked and I was at 68%. Call it a half hour 45 MINS. Crazy fast, makes me not miss my extended batteries bc I know if I'm low I just gotta plug in for an hour and I'll be 100% again

I'm using the same cig-lighter, double USB Plug I've had for a couple years... But I just found a cable on Amazon that fit and that's what I'm using..... Nothing fancy.
When I knew I'd eventually get a USB-C phone, I started stocking up on the cables...I'd pick up about one a month. I have about 5 or 6 now, so I'm good at home, on the road, at work, in the wife's car, and have a spare in my laptop bag and an extra one I haven't opened... Plus the stock Nexus 6P charger, so I'm good.
I am also amazed with how fast this phone charges. Fastest charging I have ever seen.
I am also amazed by how little it will consume over night when you forget to plug in. I forgot to plug it in when it was at 70% and when I woke up 8 hours later it was at 67%.
Anyone else notice it gets hot while fast charging??

OPO suddenly not charging, battery stuck at 50%, low battery screen

My Oneplus One has recently started acting up. Last week it stopped charging normally and will only charge using the OEM charger.
Chargers and cords that I previously used without issue no longer work at all. My phone will show that it is connected to power, but will not charge and the battery will still go down.
I have tried:
Samsung wall charger
My 2.1a output car charger - battery doesn't go down, but no longer charges
My 1.5a output external battery
Apple USB charger and it seemed to work
Yesterday, I plugged my phone into my Samsung wall charger that like I said previously charged my OPO without issue and entered recovery and it wouldn't even charge in recovery.
I'm not sure what to try. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'd rather not have to buy a new phone.

Classic symptoms of battery failure. It happens with Laptop batteries also. Get your OPO battery changed as soon as possible.

Thanks! I'll look into getting a new battery. Are there any sellers I should look at or anywhere to seer clear from?
I need to sort out the most recent update as well which will hopefully fix my phone not always ringing when I get a call through. Last time I updated it I keep getting notifications to update it to the same version I'm already running and random restarts/freezing/slowing
I'm not sure if the power/battery has anything to do with this or if I have two unrelated issues.

My new battery came on Saturday and I installed it and charged my phone up before leaving for the weekend. It seemed to work OK Saturday and Sunday aside from a couple random restarts battery performance seemed to be better.
Then last night I went to bed without plugging my phone in since it was about 50% and when I woke up at 4 it was completely dead and would not turn on. I plugged it into the original charger and it showed the battery low, charge before powering on screen. I left it plugged in and charging for the last two and a half hours or so and just got up. The phone shows 50% charge so I turned it on and it briefly gave me the low battery message before powering up. I checked the battery and it looks like the battery suddenly lost all charge? The phone was still connected to the charger and showing 50%, but not charging. It appears to have stopped at 50%. The phone then randomly shut down and will not turn back on again. I keep getting the low battery screen.
I just switched back to the original battery so I could at least power on my phone and post the screenshot I took with the old new battery not charing past 50% before it shut down and refused to boot up.
Also, now that I'm using the original battery my phone feels slightly slower again. Could be nothing.

Sony Battery (doesn't) Care (at all) (not) working after Pie Update :edited

Howdy...
Today I finally took the OTA to Pie.
And when I plugged my phone this evening I got a Notification about Sony Battery Care, which told me it'll charge my phone slowly.
Whyever it wants to charge until 03:40 in the morning, when my alarm clock is clearly set to 6:30 is a mystery to me.... But whatever Sony.
As it seems it was bugged on Oreo for quite a few people. Did it work for you guys?
I'll do a little testing and check how the charging progress is working now. Next time I'll try to discharge to 1% and charge fully over night. While measuring current and voltage externally. So we can compare to normal charging.

Edit:
Well.... seems like it breaks really really easily.
After i got this Notification on the Lockscreen i got a call from a friend and unplugged the Phone.
When i was done, about 5 minutes Later i've replugged the phone but BatteryCare didn't want to start again.
Not only didn't it come back that time, i haven't seen the notification since then! Not even once. It simply vanished for good.
So does anyone of you ever use Battery Care? Even on a regular schedule?
Nice wallpaper

I never saw it.
Even on Oreo.
(I use it since May).
But I only charge it at day until 80% with accubattery.
Yeah battery care doesn't kick in again if you remove it from charge before it's finished. Although I had this with oreo also so I'm kind of used to it.
Who cares about that ? Not me
I don't use Sony battery care, I don't trust it.
But my charger is connected to a programmable wifi plug. It switches on at 5 a.m. Thus, when I wake up, my device is fully charged.
Of course, the aim is to keep the battery level above 90% as short as possible...
So we don't even have a single positive response of it working as advertised?^^
That's pretty sad for Sony.
If you plug and unplugged your device a few times each day or at different hours once a day it won't work.
For example, plug your device between 22h and 23h everyday, after a few days, battery care will turn on.

Well yeah.... sorry i plug my device between 21:00 and 02:00 every 2nd day but i always unplug at 6:50 so AI is too stupid to recognize this scheeme?

AI are generally somewhat stupid!
Battery care works flawlessly for my xz2.
Each and every night as soon as I connect the charger i get an annoying notification/message sound.
The notification is battery care, I would never get a notification sound before pie. I hope in the next update the sound is again muted.
Should I make my Battery Care learn my habit?

Any time you reverse the charge current is one cycle. How far down you discharge is your depth of discharge. So even if you drain the phone from 80% to 70% and plug it in and only charge it back up to 80%, that's one cycle. What you are saying would be true if you don't discharge the battery at all, similar to what Sony does with their battery care. You can charge lithium in short bursts but if you discharge between those charges then you are cycling your battery. So no, short incomplete charges aren't absolutely detrimental to your battery but will be considered in regards to your overall cycle life. For every 70 millivolt (roughly 10%) drop in voltage during a cycle, your overall cycle life is cut in half. Meaning you'll get twice as many cycles if you only drain your phone to 60% instead of 50%. To take full advantage of the chemistry, it is best to fully charge before discharging. You could expect 2500-3000 cycles at 10% depth of discharge, but only 500-700 or so at 50% depth of discharge before capacity is 70% of what it's rated. This is information I got from Cadex Labratories and deal with on a daily basis at work.

Should I follow this suggestion? Or keep small cycle of charges by using accubattery suggestion to plug off when I reach 80%?
Or should I just teach my Battery Care to learn my overnight charging habit and then make use of it when I can? (ie turning it off when I make small charge on the afternoon)
Xperia1 has the revamped battery care settings in which people can input their desired time for the feature to work.. I hope they update ours to work the same way....

You can use the app "battery charge limit"
It just deactivates the charging at the desired hysteresis.
Keep in mind that the discharge is slightly higher with a connected USB device, because only the charging is deactivated, not the USB port.
(Needs root)
I charge every of the devices I maintain since years to 80% and the battery is still fine.
For me battery care works fine, i plug muy Xz2 at the same hour every night, so i dont have complains
I don't know when they added it, but you can finally set a custom Time
Fkn AI Learning didn't work at all...
And it seems to work pretty fine
