[?]NS4G wont charge above 95% - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else had this issue? I've trued different roms and kernels with the same results. Only had it a week so I know the battery is good.

It's normal. No Nexus S (4G or otherwise) charges past 95%. Samsung designed the battery that way on purpose.
Try search next time as this has been asked and answered before.

This theory seems similar to the way Panasonic Toughbooks' battery saver works. Basically, when you turn on ECO mode (or battery saver) on a Toughbook, it says it will only charge the battery to 80% max. Yes, you lose 20% of your charge, but your battery is said to last ~3 yrs instead of ~1 yr with heavy use (as Toughbooks are designed for).
Kinda annoying, but makes sense.

just so you know, its possible to charge to 100%. you just need to finish charging with the screen on. if it stops charging before you turn on the screen, unplug it then plug it in. honestly, im not looking 3 years down the road. im looking to get the most out of my battery now.

Bump in battery level without charging

I noticed a small upward movement in battery level graph under battery usage screen on my phone. Yesterday too I noticed the same, but ignored it. But today, I'm totally perplexed on the increase.
Am attaching a screenshot for the same. You can notice the little upward movement towards the later part in the graph.
Any explanation would be well appreciated

This is the most obvious answer of all of the stupid questions on here... ROMs rarely report battery level perfectly.

I know kind sir. But this has been happening only y'day n today, n I've been on this rom since abt a week now. Never noticed this on any of my earlier phones or roms. Posted this to see if anyone else too observed the same.
And let me add to it: I noticed bumps like this on a restart. Not while the phone was still on.

If on a restart - the fuel gauge chip probably got reset when you restarted.
I'm not sure if restarting the phone resets the chip. I'm 100% positive a battery pull will.

I did a battery pull today. Gotta see if that helps.
Honestly that bump is incredibly minor - I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Android OS consuming too much battery!

last night i slept for around 8 hours, before i slept, i had battery power at 65% left, i wake up in the morning to find 27% left! now i think that verrryy much for idle state as my wifi, edge, games, calling/texting and screen were completely turned off for many hours. i look up the battery stats and found that Android OS had consumed 51%. below is the screenshot.

somebody please tell me why is that? and how do i get more life out of my battery?
Maybe your phone only goes up to 9 hours...
Maybe it's kernel related.. Are you on custom rom already?
My Droid on a JB ROM has the Android OS consume about 90% of the battery and it dies after 8 hours of screen off time, airplane mode. *shrugs* if anyone has a solution id like to know.

This has probably to do with something that is running in the background.
your phone apparently doesnt go into "deep sleep mode" Only in this mode you lose just few % per night.
I recommand to shut off your phone, take out the battery for a few seconds, put it back in, charge it in one go, then turn it on again. See what happens.
You can, of course, sleep with the charger in.
Welcome to Android, for the most part, our battery life sort of sucks :/

How can you solve it?
Don't let your battery get below 10%?
The system is designed so that when the battery gets too low it turns off a lot of stuff so that the device will last for longer to do what it was actually made for - be a phone.

Indeed often the cpu is slowed down to which would cause lag.
But yes the best thing to stop it would be to keep your phone charged

Battery from 100% to 99%

Has everybody experienced that after a full battery charging, when you unplug the charger, the battery goes immediately from 100% to 99%?

My Z3 does the same thing, I found out that if i leave if plugged in an extra 5-10 minutes it would drain 100-99% after a few minutes. I'm pretty sure its a common thing as I read other users asking this same question.
I don't seem to have this issue. I use the charging dock and if I take it off the dock and not use it, I'm still at 100% 4-5 hours later.

Don't worry ,it's normal.
It's designed when you are at 100%, the phone starts to use the battery for a percent or two, then charges it back to 100%.

Performed a deep clean, still having battery issues

Hello, i just performed a deep clean. My battery was draining fast, and charging takes about 15 hours...
The problem didn't go away. In the battery menu there isn't anything abnormal.
I will also do a battery calibration, but is there anything else i could do?
I love this phone, but this problem is.. impossible to "manage".
I also used different chargers...

Can u download Ampere and tell us results?
If I missed anything let me know. (Also, 30 minutes later after i took that screenshot i am sitting with the battery at 93% already)
After the deep clean my overheating issues went away.

And while charging..
Basically it draws double of the power it takes.
Edit:
Yep, charger issues. The charger i am Using works fine with a lumia 640xl and an g2 mini, but doesn't really like my OnePlus, basically my 5$ powerbank gave more power to my phone than the charger i was using, now i am using an ASUS Memopad charger that sends around 800Ma of juice to my phone, works perfectly fine now, and also no more overheating.
I hope this topic will also help others.
Thank you, fataldose for suggesting me Ampere.
