LED lights up green when at 99% charged?

I've been watching my phone charge up to 100% and the LED would light up green like it should, but then a minute later it would drop to 99% and still stay green and it looks like it stops charging (normally you see the battery icon charging up)...so i unplug the USB and plug it back and the LED goes orange and starts to charge back up to 100% any ideas...
Ive done the battery calibration procedure with the batt calib app. after flashing Elegencia GB

can't believe it...is this a huge deal?

If you leave it long enough it will switch between 99% and 100% just depends what you are doing on the phone. You may be doing something that takes slightly more power than charge from a usb port can give. Remeber charging from the usb is not the same as charging from the wall socket.
It is a reduced charge and doesn't last as long as charging from the mains.

Hi,
It can take that long sometimes.

For me its all the time . After 50% charging takes forever

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

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

My Inspire won't charge anymore

Today my inspire stopped charging. It shows the charging indicator but battery doesn't get any charge, it keeps draining instead..
It is not the wall charger because I connected it to the PC and the same thing..

Try a new battery. Call att and see if they will send you a new one. Batteries don't last forever.

Are the three stock batteries. If you can, try the stock battery in another cell.
Sent from a dream.

My Inspire does nor charge from pc or wall charger with a data capable cable if I leave all the radios on. In airplane mode it will or if I use a cable that has data disabled. When in usb charge mode, the phone will charge at 500 mA max, which may not be enough to power the phone and charge the battery .

have you tried a different micro-usb charger?

So a post was made because it won't charge ? O god I don't want to live on this planet anymore
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA

it might be the USB CABLE as i had the same problem..
my phone shows that it was charging with the orange LED light on, but the battery would'nt recharge. But after getting a new USB CABLE, it started charging.
so I suggest you to try/buy a new USB Cable

this site is quickly becoming a general user troubleshooting and help forum. maybe if people just called the phone manufacturer first most of thier problems would be fixed faster haha

I know for a fact that the USB cable is the problem because I used a WD MyPassport cable to charge my phone and it worked fine, but the original cable was showing all signs of charging when it was actually discharging it

Very true about the usb cable, also I've learned that sometimes the contacts inside of the charging port become very dirty and if you have a brush small enough you could potentially resolve the issue of it not charging....then there's also the problem with it possibly being the battery, my mother, sister, and fiancee all have or had issues with the batteries and had 2 of them replaced.

Charging issue - battery or charger??

I just cannot troubleshoot the issue. Battery is charging, but there's the red X on top of it..
Anybody knows what it means?? I've already changed the usb cable, the previous one it didn't charge at all..

If you're trying to charge by USB and not the OEM wall charger, you need a filter like the one described in this thread so your note charges as if it was plugged into a high powered charger. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088369 if you're seeing the red x using the OEM wall charger, contact Samsung. Good luck.

You're completely fine. I think the battery might get hot, so keep the phone in a somewhat cool environment.

as long as it is 5VOLTS it should be no problem, but that doesn't mean that your phone charges faster

I do use a 2A charger in my car because the 1A was overheating. I do always use the GPS in my car + mobile network and BT are always on.
The 2A charger can charge my phone (now) whilst I`m using the phone in the car.

The battery draws only the power it needs from the charger not the other way round so you can use a 10Amp charger if you want to without doing any harm to the battery.

It might actually charge slower as the phone could pick it up as a generic usb which will only draw half an amp so as not to over-draw a usb port. I believe to get full 1 amp charging the data pins in either the cable or charger have to be shorted (connected.)
