It's been happening for the past 3 days with me, I shut my phone off at night at a certain percentage on the charger in multiple outlets I tried, and the next morning I have the same amount of battery. When I press the volume button or just the powwer button for a second, it has a fully charged green bar.
So since it was 65% last night and 65% this morning, I started charging it while leaving my phone on (standby) and it was charging.
Is this part of the wonky driver problem? Or should I speak to a t-mobile agent? I really don't want to get a 5th phone. And I'm on STOCK rom
That's strange, I have no problems charging while off, although I don't do it very much. I'm using stock rom with paul's fix and faux's OC/UV kernel for froyo

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.
Well, this was interesting... Since day 1, I have had great battery life and have not experienced what everyone else has been experiencing.. An occassional lock-up/reboot, but nothing major.
A couple of weeks ago, I switched to a backup battery (andida). Things have been going well w/ that battery. Yesterday, I updated cwm.. While the andida battery was out, I decided to switch back to the stock battery for a while. Then, the following items took place all within a few hours of use, which I have not experienced.. ever before:
- Battery temp running high.. Andida constantly hanging around 22.2 - 23.2. Stock was hitting around 43 until i rebooted the phone, then dropped to 40. It is currently running at 36.
- 2 shutdowns. I could not boot the phone past the LG logo after the shutdown. Was able to boot into CWM though > went to shutdown > tried to boot, same thing. Had to pull the battery in order for it to boot.
- Received a phone call, answered, but the phone kept ringing during the entire phone conversation.
- 2 screen lockups. Could slide the unlock, get the haptic feedback, but that was it. It would not unlock. Had to reboot.
- 1 black screen of death? Total black screen with the task bar displayed. Was able to go into settings, pull down the task bar, etc. Background was blacked out. Reboot, fixed.
- Can not get gps. Was driving for 5min trying to get a GPS lock, nothing. Opened up GPS test and not a single satellite showed up in the list.
- Finally... and worst of all. Last night I plug in the phone for a couple of hours. As I'm going to bed, I disconnect the usb from it.. and take a glance to see where it charged to - 100%. I go to bed at around 1:30am. I wake up at 7:30a, turn on the screen of the phone, and it gives low battery warning. It's at 2%. I reboot the phone to make sure. It's at 1%.
So idk.. maybe something was stuck running. I'll find out here shortly after this charge is done.. but I am seeing a major difference in the operation of the phone after putting the stock battery back in. I had not experienced this when I was running the stock battery in the past. (I had an occasional lockup/reboot.. but not to this scale.. and I had always had fantastic battery life. Every single time I unplugged before bed and had 100%, I would have 98% when I woke up).
Suggestions? Changes were updating to the new CWM 4 and putting the stock battery back in. Running Bionix RC1..which I have been running for a while. I'll let this sucker charge up and see what it does. Maybe I should wipe the batt stats?
yeah wipe the batt stats. possibly try cm7 its really stable now. i know it doesnt have the a2dp but every else works. i would say another kernel also faux's or morific work fine. use setcpu if your going to oc. if you choose to flash another i would do a complete wipe of everything then install so hopefully the problems wont pop back up in the new flash. i read in one of the thread that if your battery is dated 3/2011 it will have issues but the 4/2011 or whatever will have less reboot and freezes issues may wanna try getting a replacement if you wanna stick with bionix until krylon does an update.
The andida battery doesn't have a temp sensor, so it's worthless for testing temperatures.
well, idk.. who knows what the crap happened. I charged to 79% and unplugged. 2.5hrs later, I'm still at 72%. That's around 3% an hr. Last night was 17%/hr.. Something happened last night.. Man, I'd love to know what took place.
Either I had an app going wild all night, or the battery really never charged.. and the 100% was deceptive. It's just nuts how all of these probs all of a sudden surfaced right after cwm 4 and putting the stock battery back in. They never surfaced b4 on the same ROM and with the same battery that I used for weeks and weeks.
O'well....

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH
You should wipe battery stats when doing any major rom change (stock to custom or between different roms).
Battery will always be wonky the first time before a full charge/discharge on the rom unless it is 100% and battery stats are wiped.
Typically what I do (on CM7), is when I wake up the phone is at 100%. I download the latest nightly while I'm in the shower. Jump out, it starts to flash. When its done and booted up, I wipe stats then unplug the phone and go to work.
I don't always wipe stats. But with all of the battery tweaks and fixes he's done, I will occasionally.
I very rarely ever completely turn my phone off, but last night I decided to turn it off right before I went to sleep. My battery was down to 25% right before I turned it off. When I woke up this morning the phone would not turn on. So I decided to plug it into the wall charger to see if it would help. Well the phone did turn on after I plugged it in and to my surprise the battery was showing as 0% charged which is why it wouldn't turn on without being plugged in.
So, that means that something drained my battery from 25% to 0% while the phone was completely turned off. What in the world would be running while the phone is turned off that would drain the battery like that?
I have a locked & unrooted WW TF700 & genuine dock on JB 4.2.1.
A week ago I started to notice an issue where the tab would constantly drain whilst it should have been asleep. Overnight it would loose ~30% instead of ~2%. I tried a few settings, but couldn't seem to solve it. I decided to do a factory reset because I haven't done one since I last upgraded to jelly bean. That appears to have cured that problem, but has created two more.
The first problem is that I can't seem to charge the tab over 81% when being charged directly. If I then plug it into a fully charged dock it will charge to 90% but no more, even with the charging cable in the dock.
The second problem is that the tab now decides to shut off at about 30% battery left. It won't shutdown as normal, just go blank and won't boot up again without being charged a little first. I have read threads about artificially overcharging the tab, but a symptom of that is the battery level will remain at 100% for hours before starting to drain normally. My tab won't charge to 100% and will start to drain immediately after removing the charging cable. Regardless I have tried to drain and recharge overnight with the tab both off and on but the tab won't charge past 76% overnight in either case. Restarting multiple times doesn't help at all.
For the first issue I started to suspect the charger may be at fault. This is because if I charge the tab directly, it will never get past 81%. However, if I then plug it into the freshly charged dock it will charge upto 90%. I understand that the dock will never charge the tab past 90%, unless it is plugged into the charger. Does it assume in my case that it isn't plugged in to a charger even when it is? I should mention I am using the original asus charger. Frustratingly I can't just use my phone charger to see if it solves the problem due to the 15v of the asus charger. I have noticed a slight hum/buzz coming from the charger but I can't be sure that it didn't do that before. I have had issues with the internal connections not be pushed together quite right before and getting no charge out of it, but 'clicking it together' a bit more firmly did the trick there.
Even with an overnight charge, plugged into the dock to get it to 90% I now get terrible battery life. Roughly 30mins per 10% juice. Previously I was getting around an hour per 10%.
Does anyone have an suggestions for me on how to eliminate the charger as a problem, or say doing another factory reset on a 'full charge'? The only other thing I can think of is to let it drain, give it enough charger to turn back on, then turn it off and leave it unplugged overnight (I saw it mentioned in another thread). I really appreciate any help you can give before I have to try the dreaded warranty route!
Try this with it undocked. Let the battery discharge to zero, and leave it 24 hours.
Then recharge it fully. This seems to cure the battery calibration memory issues.most us know how you get on.
Luckily I have located an Asus charger to borrow and hopefully find out if it is just my charger or not.
I also tried out CPU-Z and the battery is reporting as only having 7mV. I'm sure that can't be correct as my HOX+ is around 3500mV, and 7mV just couldn't power anything. I don't know if this is just CPU-Z issue with reporting correctly, or a clue that there is something not right with my battery? Has anyone else tried CPU-Z or know what the mV should be roughly, fully charged say?
Unfortunately a different charger didn't solve my issue :'(
I've posted a screenshot to show what is happening. I'll try draining the battery flat and leaving 24 hours to see what happens then. Luckily I still have two months left on warranty.
Pretty annoying because everything else the tablet does is fantastic. I replaced my laptop with it and use it daily for everything.

Unfortunately things have become worse. I tried using the tab until it died (at around 50% battery this time...) and left for 24 hours as suggested. Unfortunately now I can't get the tab to turn on or take a charge at all. I have tried holding power button down, with vol up/down, for over a minute etc. Tried the reset button all numerous times with no luck. All I get is the LED blink twice when pressing the power button and this only happens when the charger is connected, otherwise nothing.
I have the phone number for Asus support and will be giving them a call tomorrow. I'm so glad I never unlocked my device!

Leave it for 24 hours not on charge first then try again. We've seen this happen so many times - the fix is to let it discharge completely.

Thanks Sbdags, I appreciate your response. I've read numerous threads tonight with similar issues. I did try leaving the tab for 24 hours completely dead overnight last night. I'll try it again (I don't know if the battery is dead or not currently) but I'll leave it unplugged as there is nothing else for me to do with it anyway!
OK, I thought I would complete this thread.
After leaving my tablet for a few more days not on charge I could seem to get no life out of it whatsoever so went down the RMA route and the result of that is in the following thread;

Recently had to replace battery.
Phone was shutting almost immediately after it was disconnected from charger. Charging status when not switched on showed the battery kinda going in reverse. Phone was really odd as it would suggest the battery had 100% charge and then within minutes of disconnecting it was shutting down.
I tried a factory reset/refresh with no change. So I ordered a Genuine replacement battery off flea bay and installed that last Thursday.
Initially phone seemed ok, then wen a bit weird and shut down even though charge was like at 70% or so. Wouldn't restart until plugged in and then in shutdown mode the battery/charging indicator would show 0% and then very quickly showed 70%. Good bit though was it was going up and not down like before.
Fully charged phone overnight. It then seemed really good and lasted until Tuesday with 66% charge still showing. I had not installed FB or Twitter which made a huge difference. Then yesterday it just shutdown again. When plugged in showed 0%, within minutes back to 70% and then charged to 100% in the space of an hour or so.
So I am looking for any advice. Is this just calibration issues that the phone needs to get past. Is it possible the phone has corruption int he ROM.
I appreciate it might be a hardware fault but seems weird that the replacement battery is clearly showing a big improvement suggesting battery was EOL after 2 years use.
TIA

Same problem here i will try to install the oficial rom of xt890 if works i back here if not i don't know what to do
Sooo............issue is still present. Odd thing which I am unable to confirm, due to rnadomness of shutdowns, it that I think it is slowly learning the state of the battery as it originally was shutting down at 70% after 2-3 days on standby. then 66% hen 56%. I did a clear cache partition and a fresh install but still the issue was present.
Clearly the new battery is lasting longer than the old one, just the phone does not seem to know to reduce the charge indicator all the way to 0%.
Anyone any idea why this might be happening.
TIA

Just to add i'm having the same problem.
Symptoms started last week running the stock kitkat rom so i ordered and a fitted a new battery. Initially everything looked good phone said 100% left it over night and noticed it had shut off when i came back to it. Plugged it in to the charger and it said 0% so i charged back to 100%, booted up android and almost immediately it begins discharging rapidly, i would say within 15 minutes its back down to 0%.. I've done this a few times now even left it on charge overnight for 8 hours but its still discharging rapidly everytime. The craziest thing is even if it says 0% in android i can still boot in to recovery and flash away so clearly there is charge in the battery its just android thats out of sync.
What i've tried so far:
Different wall chargers/USB leads/Outlets
Wiped everything in TWRP and flashed CM11
Factory Reset several times
Various battery calibration apps
My next step is going to be trying RSD to flash the stock ROM but beyond that i dont know what to do.
I'm experiencing EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE with my Razr i, replaced the battery and it's still discharging very fast
Eventually managed to resolve my new battery issue simply by fully charging and discharging several times. It started to hold charge after the 7th charge and after several more discharges it's now up to full capacity.
Greetings,
I had one plus 6 for a bit over 6 months, bought from them directly, use on TMO USA.
About a month ago, started having charging issues. I use old HTC wall charger. Never had any issues before.
Now, when plugged in, the phone charging starts to cycle every 2sec or so. The charging icon goes on/off. If I have less than 15% battery left, the "low battery" warning flashes on the screen on/off every 2 sec. If over 15% battery, phone just vibrates as charging turns on and off.
Sometimes, turning battery saver on or off, or changing default USB configuration, or even rebooting, solves the issue right away. Sometimes it does not
Is this software issue? Started after most recent software upgrade.
I run everything stock. No unlocking, no custom ROMs.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike
Why do you not charge with OnePlus charger & cable?
