I haven't been able to find an app that gives an accurate battery charging amount that works with the N5. The one I used was CurrentBattery, but the figure is obviously incorrect (while not plugged in it said it was charging at ~300-500mAh, and then plugged in it was charging at ~800-1000mAh).
What I want is a way to see how much the battery is charging when plugged in and then on the Qi charger I use. What app are you guys using that actually works?

Download the battery monitor widget from the play store. It just got updated to support the nexus 5 today
weird, nexus 5 doesn't like betterbatterystats app or GSAM battery pro app, both do NOT work

Ya, I'm not sure this one's working either. At rest it's saying I'm at -900mAh. If that were the case the battery would last like 2 and change hours before going dead. Putting it on the Qi charger says -30mAh. Since it actually charges while being on the charger, I'd say that's not correct either.

Bbs does have a beta apk, which works with kk.

It has notrhing to do with Nexus 5 not liking anything, its just not updated for 4.4. BetterBatteryStats has been updated to 4.4 just a couple days ago though.

I already tried it, and it didn't work.
Also, again, BetterBatteryStats doesn't give an actual voltage usage. You can't tell how much, in mAh, the device is using or gaining. There appear to only be a select-few apps that do it, and none seem to work correctly with KitKat.
Unless my battery actually is burning ~900mAh just by sitting idle. The Battery widget says my battery would be dead in 2:40, which is ridiculous.

Ok I charge my phone overnight battery is at 100% ,after 4-5 hours of moderate use I'm still at 100% But once it goes down to 99% or lower it's draining fast ,someday I lost as much as 50% in a couple hours of very light used.

People please report on this also. I have a similar issue on my new sensation . Yesterday I took it of the charge and used out some. From 8 to 2 or showed 100%. Then later it started dropping . By 5 it was at 95.

It is because the battery hadn't calibrated itself with the OS.

I can only see calibrators for rooted phones Battery bug has been reported before in another thread. You could try changing the fast boot setting so the phone turns off properly instead of going into hibernation. That's what I did the other night. Seems to have made a difference just go into power section in settings. So many factors cam effect battery. Poor 3G signal. Auto sync. Auto brightness. Maybe try root explorer see if that makes a difference. But after a week or so charging your battery should be calibrated but then there are some that will dispute that the battery don't need to be calibrated...lol
hi guys. I'm having a pretty simple problem - my phone will charge up to full according to the battery icon when it's off, and when it is on it says charged on the lockscreen, but it says 96% on the battery widget that I have and as soon as I unplug it it drops to 96% on the lock screen. I know this is a problem common if a tomorrow was flashed with a not full batt, but I haven't flashed anything. I have only rooted. Deleting batterystats .bin didn't seem to do anything.
Thanks in advance. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

No problem for you. It's made to charge up to 96% to "extend battery life" or whatever. Don't worry about it.
Some kernels provide a cosmetic fix that shows 100% charged, but it charges only to 96%. Another alternative is to bump charge the battery (explained here on the forums) but I don't see why you would do that. Not much to gain anyway.

it's safety feature in order to protect battery
That extra 4% - not that significant. I've tried to bump it to 100% (have to wait significantly long), but not much gained in term of extra uptime.

Ah cool. Thanks for the info.
It's not like that extra 4% is a big deal, I was just curious if i needed to recalibrate or not.

and try installing Nexus S charger app in the market, got 100% charged on my Nexus S 4G !!
acutally , for Li-ion battery , if you everytime drain it to 0% or charge it to 100%, would damage it and short its lifetime...
If you wan't charge 100% use a custom kernel or Rom.

Hello,
My Nexus S battery is only charging to 95% and it is not rooted(at least i dont think it is).
What should I do? Any way to fix it?

its not broken. its working just as it was intended to work.
It's built in that way
Custom roms would make them go away (i.e, M4 makes your battery look like 100%> yet in fact, it's 9X % charged

Flash a custom kernel such as Matr1x or GlaDOS. Then install NSTools from Play Store. Bump up battery charge level to 100% as you like.

its not really a 100% with those kernels, he will still actually charge to his 95% even though itll say 100%. its just a cosmetic fix. if you actually want to see 100%, charge it to your normal 95% then charge the rest of the way with your screen on. itll eventually hit 100%.
i finally found the answer to my battery
thanks to this thread...
95% is normal
Mine says charged, 100%. on a 1500m milliamp batt and the Sprint backup batt I bought that's a 14xx.

If you have support, run this BLX
echo 100 > /sys/class/misc/batterylifeextender/charging_limit
So this is my issue, the battery percentage seems to fluctuate badly, there will be one instance where it will charge till 75% and then stop charging and it will say like 1 minute till full charge then never go beyond 75%.
Another instance is the battery will go down really quickly to 1% then it will operate on 1% for like upto 2 hours and then shut down finally.
Things I've done so far.
Changed rom clean flash, wiped caches, flashed stock in odin.
The only thing now is my bootloader is from an older firmware than the rom firmware currently installed which is cas rom.
Any insight or help would be great full. Thank you

I'll see if I can find another but this cable charges other devices fine
I have problems too with battery capacity especially at last 15% before i wasn't have this problem
It's very annoying because I never know how much battery I actually have left, I have to always have my portable charger with me just in case

I would simply first try another cable and also wall adaper. If this doesnt change anything, make a backup and go FULL stock. Not just flashing some oartitions, but your last stock ROM completely. If this doesn't make a change, then it probably is your battery, that is faulty. Try to have Samsung exchange it then. I just hope that we won't have similar problems, as the Note and S7 ppl.

Can someone explain me the Battery Care feature?
As I understand, it will only charge the battery to 100% near the end time, which I have set to 7.15h AM.
However, I put the phone charging at midnight and I woke up at 3AM and the battery was already at 100% and still charging.
Can someone explain me how this feature works? I thought it worked like iOS 13, it charges the phone to 80% and only charges the remaining 20% near the End Time. But I think I'm thinking wrong.
Thanks.
It's supposed to charge to 80 and then slowly charge to 100 by the time u have set. But I've seen reports of it not working properly on the Zenfone 6

Now that I actually have this phone I see what the problem is.
The battery care feature works but it's broken. The times are broken I have mine set to work from 10pm to 7am but during that time period it doesn't work, however I noticed it DOES work from 10am to 7pm
So they have to fix that bug

With Tasker (and rooted) you could make a more reliable and complete battery care function.

Can confirm clearing storage works! It's one of the best features of the phone, especially for me who's used to overnight charging.
Thanks for sharing.
Another question - is it possible to connect zenfone6 to another phone and share its battery?
So the idea is zenfone6 working as a power bank.
Thanks!

It's very slow, there's no UI, and it's not supported by ASUS.
I wouldn't use this phone for that.
where to find the clear the cache and storage under Battery Care?
