New Nexus S won't charge past 94%...why? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got a Nexus S I9023 and i've noticed that it won't charge to 100% and just reads charged at 94/96%
Anyone know why this is?
I'm running stock 2.3.4

It will charger to 100% after some cycles of charge, I have the same nexus s i9203

It is a question that was asked here on Nexus S forum at least 100 times. If you bought your phone yesterday, at least read a little bit more here on Forum about your phone, instead of opening new threads.
The same is with your thread about Music App, I gave you the answer - use the Market enabler.

And I appreciate it but it didn't work for me. Also I did do a Google search but didn't really find anything definitive hence why I came here.

Did you do a search on the actual forum, not just google?

I had the same situation 2 days ago (with the i9023), and found the other threads to not be so helpful. I think its acceptable to post this here in xda, after all what does Google know that xda doesn't?

Guys this was questioned many times and the answer is here on XDA even on Google. We want to respect the newcomers but only if you are not lazy and inform you properly before opening new threads.

i had the 94% issue with 2.3.3 (which was what it came with when i bought it). Once I upgraded to 2.3.4 it goes up to 99-100...regardless of how much power there is in the battery, they did change something with 2.3.4 as far as % reporting. Maybe so people would stop asking

You may want to read this to understand why it doesn't go to 100%

Yes, many of them are. But most of them (myself included) are simply exhausted of seeing the same 5 questions asked over and over and over and over and over when a quick 10 second search would have revealed the answer.
Not to stick up for anyone, but the search on the xda app it sucks something fierce. I searched MIUI theme and got one result for that and the rest was roms. It'd be nice if they/whoever maintains this app could update the search and maybe add the ability to search within threads.

Haven't gotten round to root yet. This weekend be the big event...lol.

Check your serial number, if it's >B70 then it's not rootable. Yes they are working on it but it's been almost 2 months and nothing. Appears to be locked down in hardware and thus not by-passible via the usual tricks of the past. Most likely it's because of DRM if I had to guess.
If your serial is B70xxxxx check it anyway, some of the B70's may be rootable if they still have the older SBKv1 ROM (or whatever it is).
Mine's going back (B80 serial) - it's a dead duck.
I suggest you return it and get something else so you wont clog the forum with the same stupid questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

[Q] AOSP?

Wife just bought a Charge (upgraded from Droid 1). I started looking for ROMS to install on her phone, and all I see is the OTA ROM modded/rooted. No custom built ROMs? Any reason why the dev community shunned this device?
Never really got recognized and most people are jumping to bionic razor or nexus a few more Tom's on rootzwiki.com some are found here gummy charged humble infinity most deb's are there though
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium
The search function would answer your question. We don't have AOSP ROMs because we don't have source for the RIL. Official Gingerbread only came barely two weeks ago.
Will we get AOSP, maybe, maybe not. Just run one if the ROMs we already have. They are great. Develop if you want AOSP. Or wait and hope.
It even tires me hearing this over and over, just imagine how a dev would feel.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I would recommend returning the Charge and getting the Nexus. I had the charge since May and I am so glad to have left it behind. Finally being on an AOSP phone is so refreshing.

Maybe sticky a thread then, explaining why there is no AOSP for the charge.
If you search the "Verizon Droid Charge" sub forum for AOSP there isn't really any threads saying why there is no AOSP, mostly a bunch of threads saying "it's coming", or AOSP parts for the non-AOSP Charge ROMS. What else was I supposed to search for?
Even if it was stickied people would most likely post it anyway

Planning on returning the phone.
Tried several ROMs, each had their own little to major issues . I'm not even sure if this phone will even get ICS considering it didn't even get an "official" Gingerbread until a month ago.
It even looks like the Motorola Droid Classic will get ICS.

I don't seem to have any issues with stock deodexed/debloated. We've had Gingerbread for a long time via leaks.
Enjoy your new phone. The Charge is by far my personal favorite phone. Different strokes for different folks.

Return the Charge and get the Nexus, it's worth the money.
Definitely returning now. Timidly getting Nexus.

[Resolved] [Q] Thanks limit - I'm not getting 8?.

I have noticed lately that my allowed thanks count doesn't really reset at any specific time, it seems completely random. I had some members help me out today and I couldn't thank them this morning, so I went back to those post just now and was only able to thank 3 times before getting the "sorry you are limited to 8 thanks" message. Has anybody else experienced this? Or is there a mod that can tell me what's going on? Am I going crazy? I am confuse.
I don't think they all reset at the same time. They reset one by one 24 hrs after you use each one.

Are there any other known methods for rooting the inspire? My gfs phone is nearing unusable with the constant reboots. I have yet to find any information on fixing that issue as well. She has only had the phone about a month. Any input would be appreciated.

Well, before rooting is always good to check that the device has no hardware issues. Try doing a factory reset and see what happens. Try pulling the sdcard and see how it behaves for a day.
If is still misbehaving, then take it to warranty....rooting will not fix hardware issues. Then, when u are sure that no hardware issues are the cause of the problems, come and visit us in the IRC channel in my signature...the Hack Kit is still there....

Also if I'm allowed to put my two cents in here... but charge to 100% and as it dies check the percentage if it reboots write down the percent. Do it until it dies fully charge it and repeat. If the numbers match up its the battery I had bought this phone used. It rebooted at 96% and 42%. Got a new battery and no more random reboots
