Yes.. Sounds like a defect. Take the battery out and place it back in then let it charge for a couple of minutes.

i made this post because people might be wondering about how to charge their phones.
(i say these things from experience so if different for anyone then let me know)
make it a habit not to charger until its at least 15% or less. i always charged my g1 and left it plugged in even at 100 and after weeks the battery life went to hell. i went through 3 batteries that way.
Also try not to use the phone while its charging. i cant really explain what the hell causes that but i know from experience of two other phones that the phone overheats and messes up the battery. so that means avoid over-night charging. i charge mine either before i go to sleep of first thing when i wake up.
also when ur charging ur phone, DO NOT put it under anything, like between a pillow the bed. ur phone will overheat like to the point of too hot to touch. also from experience.
Thanks man,that why my old battery started die'n so fast

I normally do this to calibrate battery:
1. Charge to 100 % with phone on
2. Unplug and turn off
3. Charge to 100% when off (i normally leave it for 10-15 minutes)
4. Then unplug, turn it on, then after fully booted turn it back off
5. put it back on charger till it fully charges again
6. boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
now use your phone as normally and give it 3-4 full charge cycles till the battery is properly calibrated.
Battery calibration is a app on the market. Check it out! It saves you from having to go into recovery and wiping battery stats

i follow all of this and i usually get around 20 hours of battery life. and ive only calibrated my battery once.
Hi guys,
I got a mt4gs a week ago and it charged the battery at first but then after 3 days of use i connect it to the charger but still the battery is discharging, I got another battery but still its discharging while connected to an ac adapter. I am rooted and running miktouch 0.5. should I return the phone?
If it's doing the same thing while connected to your computer thru the USB, I have to admit it DOES sound like a mechanical issue.
That was happening to me awhile ago too. Mine was due to the USB charging pins being bent. I took the phone apart and was able to bend them back using a safety pin.
You also might want to try a different cable.
As a precaution, I bought a couple ankers and wall charger so I always have a spare.
Good luck.

got a new charger but still didnt work, going to return it.
Also have a weird battery problem on mt4gs.
Battery seems to drain while connected on AC, whether it's being used or not, but a restart shows it with more power. e.g. if I restart @ 52% when I restart it says 79%. if I restart again it may be 32% or another almost random number. sometimes 17%, 82%, 92%. I've tried all sorts of apps and wiping batter stats in cw.
Once I left it off and plugged in and the led turned from orange to green. But power on showed 92%. I tried two different batteries, it seems to be the same.
I worked properly before and I can't seem to remember when I realized it was doing this. Yesterday I also noticed, when I pull the battery for a while date and time resets. Dec, 1 1974 I think, Internal battery dead?
Anyone have suggestions?

I'm also having that problem with mine. Its in the cm9rc buglist, affecting users of some aftermarket batteries. I have the Hyperion 3500. Suspecting battery firmware issues...its always been a little strange. Reporting %100 for way too long, then declining normally for a while, then dropping from %30 to nothing pretty rapidly. Now on CM9 rc reporting is just random and inaccurate. Time to spend for an Anker. Ready to get rid of this heavy double-thick battery anyways. With consistent improvements in battery life I don't think I need it anymore.

Hmmm. Although I'm on virtuous Inquisition now. I was having these issues on the stock tmo from which prompted me to upgrade. Was on same virtuous Inquisition before that but went to stock because I just love the Genius button. :what:

I swapped out for the highly regarded anker batteries and my reporting problems have gone away. Battery drain now reports accurately.

Hoping that it would resolve I finally got a pair of anker with the charger. My problems didn't go away. Just the anker running 15° cooler

I got on a plane heading from New Orleans to San Francisco via Las Vegas. I turned my phone off just before boarding and didn't turn it on again until I landed in San Francisco. My battery was nearly fully charged as It had only been off the charger for about an hour and I wasn't using it. When I turned it on in San Francisco 7 hours later, it was nearly dead, with only 20% charge. I definitely saw the power off animation. It was definitely off when I took it out of my pocket, but the battery use told me the screen had used up most of the charge. What the hell happened? Has this happened to anyone else?
As a precaution, on the return flight I pulled the battery after powering down. I did not have any battery drain on the flight home after the battery pull.
Maybe the shutdown animation took a very long time and kept the screen on.
I have never heard of this, so I have no idea.
I've had this happen to me a few times. I power off my (fully charged) Charge at night before going up to bed and when I come back down in the morning and power up (and it goes through the power up cycle) I find I have limited battery left. I haven't tried to track down what is happening since I simply replace the battery with a fully charged one and continue on with my day.
I found that I had some file on my SD Card was draining my battery.

I don't suppose you remember which file that would have been.
So when the Charge is powered off it really isn't powered off?

It is truly off when powered down.

I think it's just a glitch of the battery meter. Either it was lying to you when it was full or lying when it was 20%. If it doesn't happen on a regular basis then the battery should be fine, right?
I think we've all had it happen (at least to me a few times) where I switch out batteries that I know have been charged and the phone says that it's dead. The solution I found was to take the battery out and try to power it on, then put it back in or put in the fresh one. I don't know why, but it seems to get rid of some sort of bad juju.

Actually when my phone glitches out and reboots sometimes it shows the battery level more than 50% below what it used to be when it died. A glitch in the kernel that reports the battery level could be the culprit.

No, I just went purging of files, I don't use.
Hey guys, just got my lemon 2 days ago and its going great. I got about a 2 days on the first charge. I plugged it in at 2% like the instructions say and it started charging. I woke up this morning and it said it is fully charged and I took it off and as soon as I did, it went to 59% and has been draining really fast. Within 30 min its down to 52. What's going on?

That's happened to me on stock battery before, I think it might still be charging it when it isn't actually 100% like the phone indicated. I just plug it back to be sure. Let it get to 100%. My zero lemon never did that but it sounds like something common

Follow what Joshua said. Be sure it's the factory cable and charger, remember a few people saying it may be their cable. Of course they had a few to test.

You can also try an external charger. Charge it out side the phone. Idk if you can calibrate it but that might be worth a shot.

Hi all
I will be getting my nexus 5 tomorrow and was just curious if there are ant does and donts with regards to charging the battery. The reason i ask is i currently have a HTC sensation and after 18 months the battery had to be replaced as it was simply not holding its charge. My routine was to charge it overnight every night and use it during the day.
Does charging it through the night cause damage? im just a little bit more concerned as i will not be able to replace the battery with it being sealed.
Thanks for any tips
Chris
Hi,
Take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511647...
I used to do the same thing with my HTC Incredible... I learned that it can damage the battery over time by not allowing it to hold a charge. Now, when I get home (depending on remaining %) I charge my phone, and unplug it during the night.
If for some reason the battery dramatically drains overnight, I'll charge it when I'm getting ready to leave in the AM.
That is just my method, but I have had great results with it for my usage.
Plug it in...

Thanks i read the link ...and i also think i probably wont charge mine overnight, im convinced that had a hand to play in my battery going
I have had this phone since it was announced. I plug it in every night when I go to bed and leave it plugged in till I wake up. My battery is fine. I have done the same with my note 2 also. Never had any problems

Same here
It's not hard to pop the back cover off and replace the battery when it goes bad. I just dont worry about it and charge whenever and take it off the charger whenever.
