NEXUS i9023 battery max at 93?

Hi,
anyone has the same problem as mine?
my battery max at 93. fully charged it will still display 93.
when ur batt is charging, it will display charging. but when it's full it will display charged.
yeah. my charged will display 93%. LOL?

I thinks its normal for the nexus s that it doesnt max out at 100%.
Mine usually is fully "charged" when its at 96% Battery.

i can confirm this, mine stops usually at 98%

Mine varies between 94 and 99, but most of the time it stops at 95.

From what I've heard, it's performance thing. Full discharges reduce li-ion life span, and 100% charges might also, to a lesser degree.
D720 is the same.

Yup mine gets to 95 and is done, I don't realty mind that but what I do mind is battery life I want it to last longer right now I barely make it a work day and I have to charged on my way home I'm tuning some services cause I need them just like I do in my iPhone but the battery dies too fast sometimes hopefully us cause I have for like 3 days

Normally mine stops charging at 95% but I've gotten to 100%.
Here's how I did it:
1) Charge the phone until it stops charging
2) Turn off the phone and continue to charge until the battery meter stops blinking
3) Turn on phone and enable "stay awake" while charging
4) Run an app that drains the battery (I used Angry Birds) and leave it on, don't turn off the screen
5) After about an hour it reached 100%

ps. It may be bad for the battery to constantly charge to 100%.

This is a known case to some Samsung devices, unfortunately
Thus, actually i would advice people to actually use it as it is, and dont let it bother you. after all, nexus s still have some pretty good battery life in general.

94% then as soon as I un-plug it drops to 89% but still lasts a day.

What's good for battery life? I have this device for over a week and I feel like it doesn't last the long, how much does it last you guys?

Download from the market ''Battery Calibration''. I almost forgot, i think u need a rooted phone because it deletes the battery.bin file.

samsung actually added this feature into the batt to protect it from overheat.
I think its weird and un-necessary anyway
but cos I have this phone i just need to live with it until I buy some new toy

Mine's roof is @ 95% :/

I have max on 97%

Q: I unplugged my phone, and my battery dropped from 100% to 95% immediately, or it won't/takes along time to charge past 99%, what gives?
This is by design. Your phone will slow down and eventually stop pulling charge at or slightly greater than ~95% regardless of what your battery indicator says. This is to extend the overall life of the battery, as constant 100% to 0% charge/discharge cycles will cause it to fail prematurely. If you're interested in really pushing it to 100%, you can use a technique that is called "bump charging" and is better detailed here: http://bit.ly/f6xiZ0

The answer is found in here. I suggest you look for the answer b4 posting the question next time.

Is it just me

Or does the battery charge ridiculously slowly?
On my Droid 2 I can do a full charge in under an hour, yet I've had my nexus on charge for three now, and I'm only at 53%.

if you notice on the nexus s ac charger, its rated at 0.7A compared to 1.0A that most chargers are. usb will recharge at 0.5. So thats why, probably.

I've used my motorola chargers as well and they actually charge slower
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

Maybe your charger is old and tired. I don't know how true it is but I've been told that leaving wall warts plugged in when they're not being used contributes to eventual internal parts failure. I don't have any problems charging while on. It's not slow like others are saying. Maybe that's just the gsm version that's slow. I've monitored charging amperage and seen mine almost hit 1 amp, 1000 milliamps, when full on charging. I've got a usb jack on my car stereo that I use to charge the phone or headsets. I've got it wired hot all the time so I can put the stereo in standby mode and it supplies power to usb only. That way I can take the keys with me and still charge whatever. I'm always near my car so it's not like I'm leaving it that way for hours and leaving the car out of sight for very long.
Another thing, the phone will charge MUCH faster if it's off. Yes it's not useful to turn the phone off for awhile but it will get it up to a full charge way faster than keeping it on while charging.

I have the cdma ns4g
I've used 5+ different brand new chargers from various phones, and on three nexus s phones (one tmo, two sprint). All of them charge slowly.
I've also charged an og droid, 2 droid 2's, 2 x's, and an evo on them, which all fully charge within an hour.
(i have access to tons if phones since I sell then for bbm)
charging them powered off had minimal effect. Charging on ac power is much faster than in the car, however. I haven't charged a nexus in the car yet, tho.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

same thing with me

ac will recharge at 0.7a out; usb(which includes your car charger) will recharge at 0.5a.

Can I make a suggestion just for testing purposes? Try using "battery monitor widget" and put it's widget on your home screen. Go into settings for the app and under monitoring, change the mA refresh to 5 seconds. Now when you charge, watch it's values. If it doesn't turn green while charging then restart the phone. That will help you know if it's being charged full on, in the 900's, or trickle, 99 and lower. Don't forget to change the setting for battery capacity to 1500 because sometimes it guesses the wrong value.

my ns takes about 4 hours to go from dead to completely charged (0-99)

I never have timed it. Maybe I should. I wouldn't think it would take that long. I could be wrong too. I should try sometime. I always charge mine overnight so I don't pay any attention to the time.

yeah, next time i'll take a screenshot of the battery usage graph, where you can see the battery time and the total time. it's also interesting to see the how the charge rate changes; it charges fastest up until about 80% and then it really slows down in the 90s.
it definitely feels like a long time for a full charge. but on the other hand i can get about 5 hours of constant netflix video streaming on a full charge.
note: i didn't watch movies on my ns for 5 hours straight, just put lotr on twice for research purposes

I've had this phone for about 5 days and it takes an extremely long time to charge. Twice I've had something drain my battery really quick and that rendered my phone useless for hours because I had to recharge it. If it doesn't improve, it is bad enough that for that reason alone I won't keep this phone.

Could it be that the phone is defective?

Interesting, it seems the battery stats aren't reported correctly. I rebooted my phone and I went from 35% to 56%. Still been charging for a couple hours, with some use, tho (reading).

Couldn't edit this in, sorry for the multiple posts...
After a battery pull, uninstall of battery monitor widget, I'm at 46% (now 47% as I type)....
And another reboot, now at 66%... I'm so confused.

just got NS4G last week and I noticed it on the first charge, took forever
I've yet to be able to keep in plugged in until its fully charged except the first time.

Something is wrong. I've never experienced this. You might want to get your phone checked out by a repair center and or get a replacement phone or battery. That should not be happening to you.

yeah, I'm going to do a few different tests in the next few days. I was given the phone from a drawing at work, so I cannot exactly exchange it. I'll have to talk to sprint/sammy directly if I cannot figure it out.
It doesn't bother me much, I love the phone, but faster charging would be nice. I doubt that will happen, as both demo ns's in my store charge slowly.

battery charge taking a long time

The last few times I've charged my battery it's taken forever. I don't use my phone while it's charging and a minimal amount of apps are running in the background. This morning it took an hour for the battery to get from 68% to 78%. At that rate it would take practically all day to get a full charge.
I charged it though the wall outlet, not through the computer's usb port.
anyone else have this issue? Charging had been pretty quick up until a couple days ago. Come to think of it, I think this started the other day after I let the battery die all the way overnight.

Now when I try to charge it won't get past 82%. Tried to upload a pic but it wouldn't let me. Just stayed at 82% for about 90 minutes.

Did you flash another rom?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA

when i have charged my phone it has been taking a long time to fully charge also.. I haven't thought too much of it since my phone lasts a solid 36-42hrs for each charge..

I've found the quickest way to charge the phone is to use the stock HTC charger (coming from a wall outlet) with brightness set to 0% and phone on standby.
It doesn't charge as fast as say, the iPhone, but it's still quicker then every Samsung device I've owned.

I am coming from the iphone and it takes a ridiculous long time to charge. Very annoying if you run out of battery and just want a quick 5min charge to get you some more minutes of usage.

No, I didn't flash another rom.
What's weird is that until recently it charged pretty quickly.
This pic shows how it wouldn't charge past 82% yesterday.

That's not normal, if you're stock. Were you using the supplied HTC charger? The only thing I can think of is you were using another USB charger and it wasn't supplying enough voltage. I notice that when I'm at work and I use my Kindle's charger, my phone takes longer to charge than when at home on the HTC-supplied charger.
Outside that, I'd say contact your carrier and get it swapped. Mine will charge from almost zero to full in about 2 hours on the HTC-provided charger.

From zero to 89% in only 4h. Charging via USB takes for ever...... =D

for me it does take kinda long but it also lasts much longer.
after 10 hours of useage I was at 60% with screen on 67% of the time.

The 67% of screen means, of the 40 % used accu 67% were used by the screen. There is no indication on how long the screen was active!

Charged for first time today and took 3.5 if not 4 hours today! I was shocked as my Galaxy Nexus only takes 2 hours literally.

For what it's worth, generally when I'm charging I turn off wifi and bluetooth if I'm not using them, also, I'm not in love with that charger that came with the phone, I actually got a message at one point when plugged into it that I was using more power than the charger was providing..so..even when plugged into the charger I was draining battery at that point.
So, try turning off the extra radios when your not using them and charging, hopefully will see your charge times improve (just don't turn off the phone radio or you'll not get calls/sms..) If I want to quickly put a charge on it, of course, I'll turn it off for a bit while it's charging.

My phone always stops at 99%, never hit 100 with green light on, even when charging off.
I have not flashed a rom....straight stock.
I'm feeling like my battery is not getting the most juice because it's not properly calibrated.

Now also mine stops at 99% (1633/1650 mAh)
This is the 4th full charge.

Sony Battery (doesn't) Care (at all) (not) working after Pie Update :edited

Howdy...
Today I finally took the OTA to Pie.
And when I plugged my phone this evening I got a Notification about Sony Battery Care, which told me it'll charge my phone slowly.
Whyever it wants to charge until 03:40 in the morning, when my alarm clock is clearly set to 6:30 is a mystery to me.... But whatever Sony.
As it seems it was bugged on Oreo for quite a few people. Did it work for you guys?
I'll do a little testing and check how the charging progress is working now. Next time I'll try to discharge to 1% and charge fully over night. While measuring current and voltage externally. So we can compare to normal charging.

Edit:
Well.... seems like it breaks really really easily.
After i got this Notification on the Lockscreen i got a call from a friend and unplugged the Phone.
When i was done, about 5 minutes Later i've replugged the phone but BatteryCare didn't want to start again.
Not only didn't it come back that time, i haven't seen the notification since then! Not even once. It simply vanished for good.
So does anyone of you ever use Battery Care? Even on a regular schedule?

I never saw it.
Even on Oreo.
(I use it since May).
But I only charge it at day until 80% with accubattery.

Yeah battery care doesn't kick in again if you remove it from charge before it's finished. Although I had this with oreo also so I'm kind of used to it.

Who cares about that ? Not me

I don't use Sony battery care, I don't trust it.
But my charger is connected to a programmable wifi plug. It switches on at 5 a.m. Thus, when I wake up, my device is fully charged.
Of course, the aim is to keep the battery level above 90% as short as possible...

So we don't even have a single positive response of it working as advertised?^^
That's pretty sad for Sony.

If you plug and unplugged your device a few times each day or at different hours once a day it won't work.
For example, plug your device between 22h and 23h everyday, after a few days, battery care will turn on.

AI are generally somewhat stupid!

Battery care works flawlessly for my xz2.
Each and every night as soon as I connect the charger i get an annoying notification/message sound.
The notification is battery care, I would never get a notification sound before pie. I hope in the next update the sound is again muted.

Should I make my Battery Care learn my habit?
Hershchel Clogs said:
Any time you reverse the charge current is one cycle. How far down you discharge is your depth of discharge. So even if you drain the phone from 80% to 70% and plug it in and only charge it back up to 80%, that's one cycle. What you are saying would be true if you don't discharge the battery at all, similar to what Sony does with their battery care. You can charge lithium in short bursts but if you discharge between those charges then you are cycling your battery. So no, short incomplete charges aren't absolutely detrimental to your battery but will be considered in regards to your overall cycle life. For every 70 millivolt (roughly 10%) drop in voltage during a cycle, your overall cycle life is cut in half. Meaning you'll get twice as many cycles if you only drain your phone to 60% instead of 50%. To take full advantage of the chemistry, it is best to fully charge before discharging. You could expect 2500-3000 cycles at 10% depth of discharge, but only 500-700 or so at 50% depth of discharge before capacity is 70% of what it's rated. This is information I got from Cadex Labratories and deal with on a daily basis at work.

Should I follow this suggestion? Or keep small cycle of charges by using accubattery suggestion to plug off when I reach 80%?
Or should I just teach my Battery Care to learn my overnight charging habit and then make use of it when I can? (ie turning it off when I make small charge on the afternoon)
Xperia1 has the revamped battery care settings in which people can input their desired time for the feature to work.. I hope they update ours to work the same way....

You can use the app "battery charge limit"
It just deactivates the charging at the desired hysteresis.
Keep in mind that the discharge is slightly higher with a connected USB device, because only the charging is deactivated, not the USB port.
(Needs root)
I charge every of the devices I maintain since years to 80% and the battery is still fine.

For me battery care works fine, i plug muy Xz2 at the same hour every night, so i dont have complains

I don't know when they added it, but you can finally set a custom Time
Fkn AI Learning didn't work at all...
And it seems to work pretty fine

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the OnePlus 8T can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Pretty amazing, as we all expected
40 minutes from 0 to 100%, nice charging animation with a counter, the device didn't get hotter than 35-celsius degrees (95-Fahrenheit).
This should be the standard for future devices, definitely for flagship devices.
Overall: 5/5 for charging. :good:

More battery life plz...
I must say its pretty fast.. but with all these dart and VOOC and QC 4.0 etc, its already enough.
The engineers should now focus on making battery life last longer, rather than just obsessing with the charging speed only...!!

6h00 = 5% (start charging)
6h05 = 30%
6h10 = 50%
6h15 = 65%
6h20 = 81%
6h25 = 92%
6h30 = 98%
6h33 = 100%

In 40-42 min my phone gets completely charged

good

7% to 59% in 15mins provided AOD is turned off

POWERED OFF:
35% to 80% in 15 min, total of 45%.
Remember, it'll start charging slower once it hits above 60% (or whatever that magic number is now).

Your phone will be 80% charged in a time of your morning bath

Charging speed is something I am getting addicted to.
I use a battery monitoring app called AccuBattery. It has a nice feature to sound audible alart when your device reaches a preset battery percentage while charging.
Idea is to keep using the battery between 20-80% charge to preserve charge cycles.
AccuBattery does a fantastic job with different battery stats. It doesn't have any features to save battery or provide long backs or such. But following this 20-80% charge cycle gave me great long term results with various devices.

Here is one screenshot from AccuBattery. OnePlus 8T with Charging Optimization feature of Oxygen OS turned on.
Although with reduced charging speed, 40-80% took just 15mins.
Very addictive & supper convenient
Update :
Even with slower charging option (optimised charging) turned on and with ambient temps are around 32-33c, phone does 20-80 in 20-25mins. That 20-25 mins charging gives me a good 20h+ usage !!
I am pretty ok with it..

takes more then an hour to charge 1% - 100%
