Hello,
I would like to know if it's normal that my phone constantly shows "Charging from AC" when the battery is full at 100% and that it has been plugged in for hours. Shouldn't it show "Plugged in AC" ? I had a LG phone that showed "Plugged in AC" when the battery reached 100% (indicating the battery was full and not being charged anymore)
Does it mean that my Moto G battery is constantly being charged even when at 100% or does it mean they forgot to add another status (like "plugged in AC") for this 100% state ?
No, it means LG decided to change the message for 100% charge to "Plugged in on AC" and Motorola opted for "Charging on AC"...it's just a message. Anything plugged in is still going to use trickle power, even if it's done charging. It's just words.
Thanks for answering, I was not sure ! :good:

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).
Battery jumps from 11% to 22% once plug
I left the battery drain to 11%, well I did not want to put in on charge in the evening and left it till in the morning. As the title says, once plugged in for charging, the battery charging percentage suddenly jumped to 22%, than charging normally, a bit faster because I am using usb wall charger taken from Lumia 520, AC16X.
I removed it and used the usb cable that came with the phone, I do not think that is the problem with the AC16X, just charges faster
And one more thing, last time when I charged the phone to 100% I left it to see when stops charging, I mean, In spite of being charged to 100% still shown charging on the battery diagram window.
I left it 30 more minutes but nothing, I expect to see the word charged, but no, keeps showing charging…
It is normal?
Thanks.
Hello.
I have a new Moto g 4g and sometimes when I plug it into the mains to charge the charging battery icon appears and the phone says charging on the lock screen. But as soon as the % number should go up (i.e. after a couple of mins on charge), the battery charge icon is still there but the phone no longer says charging on the lock screen, and it doesn't charge no matter how long it is plugged in for (although the battery doesnt drain either).
I turned the phone off and plugged it in and when it got to the charge screen it kept flicking between a question mark, and the percentage charged amount.
It seems to always charge fine when I plug it into a USB on my computer (although slowly).
Has anyone else seen this? Is it worth completly draining the battery and charging from flat, or would this do more harm than good?
Thanks for the help.

did u try a different charger?
When I plug my Moto G into the charger, the bolt icon would show up but the battery settings would not say that it's charging. I tried to restart the phone but that made the charge drop from 13% to 6%. I've also tried to clean the port, change cables, change outlet, and the phone is still not charging up. It's been plugged in the charger for an hour and the battery is stuck at 3%. What do I do?
If battery is charged to 95% and i turn on 85% protection, and cable from charger is still connected - battery percentage do not drop down, and there is no loading indicator either. Is smartphone using only energy from charger bypassing battery?
?
Hi, my understanding is that the phone always use the battery, but I may be wrong. It's an interesting question. Did you wait enough time to confirm that battery wasn't dropping, in this condition?

Yes, no dropping, and no indicator that it is loading.
On menu diagnose phone said that charger cable is not connected.
(when turned on 85% prot after above 85)
Do this: when your battery is below 85% go to settings battery diagnose and check charging through cable.
Status will be normal.
Now disable 85% prot.
Charge to 88%.
Do not disconnect charging cable.
Enable 85% prot.
Battery status indicator will still look as not charging.
Again go to settings battery diagnose and check charging through cable.
You will see that it is not charging, but battery % will also not drop anymore when cable is connected.
