So my girlfriends ns4g charges but the phone won't say it's charging
For example
Battery icon won't say charging.
I use Dx battery app and it stopped showing a charge.
Etc.
now when I go into settings under battery it will say charging .
She's worried somethings about to end with the phone. It was random when this started. No kernel or ROM change.
Any ideas or is the phone just acting weird? I've never seen this before.
Thanks

Same thing. Also when it's tuned off an plugged in, it doesnt show the charge icon either. It just restarts. :-/ thanks tho!
Need more info. Rom, kernel, any mods, 3rd party battery, etc.

I've been using it for ten minutes on the charger and for some reason the screen brigntness was low. So I went to the settings and it says "to avoid overheating maximum brightness has been reduced".. and my temperature is 47 degrees now. Anyone elses phone getting hot?

This used to happen with my Samsung Vibrant 4g... i believe you could burn the phone if it continues, it might be a factory issue.
Same here, charging on the wall charger with screen off, it hit 47c and won't go to max brightness.
I've also jist noticed after 50% the charging time decreases significantly. I went from 50% to 90% in 45 min

Mine got hot and I lost all service. It was up to about 93% charge and it just lost all cellular service. I had it rooted but didnt carrier unlock it. Got a replacement phone this morning and Im leaving it alone to see how it does while charging. With the long charge times this could be an issue. Not everyone can let a device set and not mess with it for 3-4 hours, lol I know I cant.

Technically I don't think you are supposed to be using your phone while on the charger... This happens to all phones just some heat up faster than others.... My old ATT Startac did that, SE W900, Captivate, and this one.
It really kills the life of the battery too as well. Nature of the beast....

Had to get a new one but so far so good, 95 degrees F while charging.

Just an update, charged past 50% on the new phone and its picking up speed and charging much faster. Temp is steady at 87F. Seems like I really just had a bad unit because the other phone got up to 116F just charging with the screen off.

Long story short, I cleared my battery stats immediately after my phone turned off from dying. Upon the first boot after that, the percentage meter read 0% for about ten minutes. I rebooted to see if anything would change, and now my meter reads 1% and has stayed there for about 20 min. I unplugged it, and got the message about plugging your phone in, but my phone stayed on for a while. After dying and turning back on, I put it back on the charger, and it's still at 1%. Did I permanently mess up my phone/ battery? Or is there anyway to fix this?
Clearing battery stats does nothing on this,phone you are ok.

True. But a lot of people feel better doing it anyway.
As for the OP just leave your phone charging overnight, shutdown, take the battery out for a minute or two, re-insert battery, power phone on, do battery wipe again (for the heck of it). And your meter should be ok.

Yeah, clearing battery stats does nothing on first-gen GalaxyS devices, including our interim device. Unknown for GS2.
Google MAX17040 for more info. Or search the Infuse forums for "gingerbread fuel gauge" for my debug thread.
Just let it charge a while. When you're at 0-1%, things can get a little wonky as far as power management and charging. Just let it sit a while and don't run it down that much again!
I just got my ns4g 2days ago and it wont seem to charge past 95%...anyone know why??...or how to fix this issue??..oh n i cant sync my facebook contacts!

That's not an issue. Its intended to increase the longevity of the battery by preventing over charging.
Lol I asked the same question before. Its just designed that way to prolong the battery life. There's a few kernels that allow you to charge to 100%
Fb thing... Idk lol
Sent from my CM7.1/*Apocalypse-Talon* v3.2.1 NS4G
if you charge it the rest of the way with the screen on, itll charge to 100%. or if you charge it with your wireless hotspot enabled(wireless tether) itll charge to 100%.
Ok thanks..my battery life sucks though...barely make it threw n 8hr work day..n im only texting

Hi everyone, and merry Christmas. I have an odd battery issue that has been driving me nuts! Every night when i turn my G2x off I lose between 15% and 45% if my battery life. I know this is not an issue with my battery because if i turn off my G2x and pull the battery out when i put the battery back in in the morning the won't even be one percent lost.
I have had this issue on multiple rooms and with multiple kernels. I have had this on EaglesBlood, cyanogen, weapon, and miui. I have had the stock cyanogen kernel, trinity kernel and faux123 kernel. The only time i haven't had this problem was back before i rooted my phone.
Any help you all could give would be much appreciated. Thanks all!

Note the battery charge percent, pull battery, put it back in, let sit overnight, turn on, note battery charge. If it discharged more than a percent or two, phone is probably faulty because it is drawing current when totally off.
This actually happens to me when I leave it off at work for a couple hours. Confuses me as well...

I will have to try that and get back to you. I really want to find a solution to this.

Well, i did what you suggested and when i turned the phone on this morning i hadn't lost a single percent. So, I'm still stumped.

Phone must be drawing current while it's off, which I am pretty sure is happening to me as well. Damnit.

It is obvious that shutting off from the menu isn' t doing what it should, completely shutting off the phone. Backup your ROM then install a vanilla ROM without any additional apps, note battery percent then shutdown from menu and leave overnight then, in the morning boot it up and note if the battery drained. If it didn't, the problem is either an app or the kernel or rom you previously had installed.
So i temporarily went back to a stock ROM and it didn't seen to have the problem. Which sucks because i really don't want to go back to stock....

Are you using faux's kernel?

What rom/kernel are you using? Also, are you overclocking?

It`s normal. My phone`s battery also heats up, when I charge it. Maybe it`s because of overclocking.
Press Thanks button, if I helped.

Check mark "stay awake while charging" option in settings. Then just power screen off the screen, it won't get hot.

I hear this said every single time and I don't know if it works for some people but it never does for me.
The only solution I've found is to underclock your phone to around 600MHz (whatever your step around there is). This can be easily done with setcpu when you create a charging profile.
My phone used to overheat overnight and I'd wake up to a hot and dead phone. Since doing this I never get a hot phone and almost never wake up to a black screen (meaning my alarms will actually go off).
This is on stock battery.
I have had this problem also what worked for me is turning off wifi. Stock battery
