When i'm using GPS (i use iGO Primo 2) and i charge the nexus s with car charger after a few minutes when the phone starts to heated
the charging stops and the battery discharging normally like there's no charger on it.
I tried the car charger on home with 12,5V input, i put the charger on phone and run gps simulation (with iGO) and this is happen again, after
a few minutes the charge stops (then the battery had 48-49 celcius). i wait a few minutes and the battery continues to discharging (normally)
at the same time i plug the wall charger on the phone and the battery wont charge, continue to discharge! when the temp falls and after a few minutes then the battery starts to charging again!
What should i do?
Maybe try to turn your brightness down or kill background processes. It seems your battery stops charging when the temperature is very high, which is good!

what should i do for that?
i don't have battery for gps! its dead after 2-3 hours
and it don't charge! i don't have any apps in background
Hmm can you maybe remove the battery and keep the phone on via charging cable. This means the phone would be connected to your car and on while you use the gps. When done, put the battery back in!

Anyone experience this?
I'm playing pocket empires while the phone is plugged in and my battery is still discharging.

Are you plugged into USB on your computer or AC?
If you are using more power than what is going in, of course this will happen!
The AC adapter provides the most charge.
Duh you are using the device so of course it is going to discharge..........

Before you launch the game, does the little battery icon in the taskbar show charging? Can you see the taskbar while running this game?

I can't see the notification bar while playing the game but I made sure that it was charging by turning off the screen and turning it back onto the lock screen which shows that it is charging.
Mine never discharges when playing Pocket Legends but it charges very slowly when using the stock charger which is normal. Now, when I am at work or something I have a AC charger I use that came with my Logitech Wireless Mouse that is obviously more powerful than the stock charger. It can charge my battery from 15% to 100% in about 30 minutes. My advice to you would be to buy a charger with a higher rating.
Are you using the charger that came with the phone or a third-party charger? If using the charger LG provided nothing you do on that phone should drain that battery while plugged in because it outputs 1000mA of power.
If you are using the LG charger you may have a faulty charger or a faulty battery.
Could you install something like Battery Monitor Widget and check the current drain (mA) while you are playing the game?
(It is made by "3C06" and the free one is fine because I think the only difference in the paid one is no ads.)
EDIT: Also, the most I have managed to pull with my G2x is 756mA, but if you have the screen at a high brightness and are using the speaker, and if the game is using 100% of your CPU, it would probably be possible to use more than 1000mA.
EDIT2: Also, the Service Manual says "maximum charging current is set around 945mA."
So I think any usage above that number will drain your battery even when plugged in. But I am not certain.
Hi all, I'm not talking about the recovery triangle with the exclamation point, but when charging the S in my car, I noticed that the battery icon in the notification tray would charge for a few minutes, then stop charging and the battery icon would just go static at 75%.
So I turned off the phone, and was then presented with a black background and white battery icon, with a flashing exclamation point.
I unplugged, and plugged back in, and the battery started indicating it was charging via ascending white stripes, But then it stopped and changed to an exclamation point again.
The battery was only 50-75% full.
Could it have been overheating in my windscreen (I'm in LA)? Or is there some other issue with the charger. What does the ! mean?
Is your battery original? Maybe your charger is not supported. Not sure about this. Can you take a screenshot?

I think that your car charger doesn't deliver enough power to charge the Nexus S battery. Some smartphones are draining more power then they are becoming from the charge unit when connected to the car.

This does not explain the error when charging with phone off.
I would exchange the phone under warranty if possible.

It's never a good idea to leave a phone, or any electronics, in a hot car during the summer. The combination of a hot car and heating up the battery while charging could be bringing the phone's temperature too high. It could be the charger isn't wired up for the standard micro usb charging. I've seen this with lg chargers and phones and data cables. It could be a bad flash.
If it can fully charge inside on an ac charger, then I might suspect the charger in the car. If it acts the same with a different car charger then it could be the phone. Try a 12vdc usb female charger with a data cable plugged into the phone. Try flashing the phone back completely to stock and do more process of elimination.
Thanks.
This is a brand new phone with original battery, stock ROM, not even rooted.
The charger worked fine always on its previous owner, a Nexus One. It is hard wired into my car so not easy to change.
I wonder if the Nexus S has overhead protection that stops charging?
A screenshot is quite a challenge ;-)
Edit: Here's the answer!: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=09793bd3fcb30e61&hl=en
43 degrees Celsius is the trigger point where it starts/stops taking a charge because of heat.
Heat
Its a samsung battery protection system the same system that wont let u over charge the battery once the battery gets too hot it will go in to this protected mode wit the exclamation mark
had it on both my samsung vibrant and the nexus s 4g

Hi,
It can take that long sometimes.
For me its all the time . After 50% charging takes forever
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
If I completely discharge my phone, it usually takes anywhere between 4 and 5 hours to charge it back up to 100%. This is assuming that I do not use the phone as it is charging.
Same on my Sensation. But I´ve heard from People, they charge in about 2-2.5h...
Its crazy somehow
The fastest method is to turn off phone and charge it. But it also depend from charger to charger. For example I had a faulty usb cable and phone never did charge while powered on. I discovered faulty cable with "CurrentWidget". It displays in mA current charging. It was always drawing power from phone. After changing cable it was charging.
Conclusion is higher mA the charging is faster...
What blue-yu said, to a point.
The wall charger that came with my phone is faster than using the usb cable.
Also, powering down the phone so its doing as little as possible while its charging will help.

Yes. A USB port on a computer is limited to 500ma. The wall charger can output 1000ma (double the USB).

I have noticed with generic charges, it can take between 3-5 hours as well. With a OEM HTC charger, it usually takes me about 2 hours from 10% to 100%.
I have found on market 2000 mA charger. Since HTC recommend max 1000 mA, is it safe to try the oem charger?
I use wall charger original what comes in sensation box. On pc battery monitor says i need 8 hour charge . Starting to think something is wrong. Before i was desire s and that charging from 10-100% in like max 2 hours
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Official chargers connect the 2 data pins together to let the phone know it is connected to ac so it draws the full 1000ma if data pins are not shorted the phone will think its connected to USB and only draw 500ma
Use a battery app to check if your charger is registering as ac and drawing the full amount
"Battery mix" is an example of an app that will tell you
the aftermarket battery (chichitec) that i'm using has been chargign up considerably faster than the stock one. it also provides a lot more usage time.
On my mains 550ma SE microusb charger it takes me approx 3hrs from 0-100% , or 4hrs from notebook usb, according to battery monitor widget pro.
John.
I usually charge my phone to full after it drops below 30%.
It always takes my Sensation 2.5 hours via wall charger.
It seems the battery charging time as well as boot up time has something to do with the recovery you use.
With Clockwork mod recovery, my bootime was 7-8 minutes (I tried clearing cache partition and all, with fast boot disabled) and battery charging use to take 5 hours.
Since two days, I have installed default recovery and now my boot time is about 1 minute, and charging time is around 2-3 hours. This time also, i have fast boot disabled and cleared cache partition after installing the recovery.
Can anybody else do this experiment and let us know the result here?
Dunno about recovery and bootup. Bootup for me is about 25-35 sec from cold boot, 4ext touch recovery. I will try that ap from amrket and i will see if there is something

Hello,
When I charge my Nexus 5, the battery icon keeps on showing it is charging even so the battery is at 100%. Also my USB charger (not the one LG one) indicates that the device is still charging. Is this normal ? Would this damage the battery ?
Thanks
It's normal.

Thanks ! (But i just find this weird as I expected a device to stop at 100%)
I understand what you're saying but it's not a charging icon, it's a connected to power icon. If you were to use something like the dashclock extension it would show that it actually stopped charging once it reached 100%
Thanks for the reply.
The thing is that I have this charger http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapow-quad-usb-mains-charger/) and the LED indicates charging (albeit I did not measure the current ).
Nice unit!
Are you connected to WiFi while charging? I had the really bad battery drain issue while connected to WiFi after the 4.4.2 update. I lost about 30% of charge after 4ish hours while connected. Currently I'm at 92% after 3 hours.
The WiFi battery drain could be causing your phone to not fully charge or at the very least make your charger THINK it's not fully charged. No harm should come of it either way but it's always best to pull your phone off the charger once it gets to 99-100%
Thanks for the reply. I had Wifi activated; it might be the reason.
My wireless charger LED didn't shut off when my N5 was charged in a powered off state. Usually it does once the battery is full.
That said, I don't think it's over-charging the battery, as that would be really bad

Don't worry about it. This isn't the 2000s where constant charging is an issue.
Just tried with the Wifi Off. My USB charger then indicates that the unit is not charging.
Thanks for the replies and great help.
Don't worry about it. The charger isn't the thing that determines how charging is handled, it's all done on the phone side. The phone knows how to take and stop taking power.
In the case of the Nexus 5, it most-likely stops charging the battery but continues using the power from the charger to actually power the unit (thereby no-longer using the battery to run the device, but not charging it any longer).
So I have a USB cable that lights up only when device is charging. It turns off the led light when the device is charged...
I'm using the same cable and USB adapter on my wireless charger.
Now at night my cable stays lit up always even when fully charged. It doesn't turn off anymore. So they're is constantly a charge going to it.
When I pick it up its warm. Not hot. No complaints. But is it safe for the battery to constantly get juice even if its 'charged' and can't get anymoee

Yes it is, there's a charge controller by Texas instruments that regulates the charging current
i know what cable you're talking about its those LED flowing cables i have one, anyways the wireless charging puck or dock always draws power while the phone may not its tickle charging as in keeping it at 100% its not overcharging it its topping it off
its 100% completely safe.
