Alright like most people I hardly ever bump charge because I charge my phone at night and wake up and leave the house
Well since I'm assuming most people have a similar routine maybe someone can make and app that would turn off the phone when it displays a full charge to let it charge the rest of the way
Or what would be even better if it could have a pre set timer to restart the phone after the bump charge ic complete
Just a thought

I've never used it so i'm not sure but you can probably make tasker shut the phone off when it sees a full charge.
I've thought of the same thing about this but I use my phone as an alarm clock so i can't do this.
getting the phone to turn back on after the bump charge probably isn't possible since there's nothing running. maybe it would work in the hibernate enabled sense roms but i'm not sure if bump charging works or not in that mode.
If, unlike Baram and I you don't use your phone as an alarm clock, you can charge it while it's off.. Then when you turn it on it will be full capacity and you will have no need to bump charge
yea, my phone is my alarm so that dosnt help me.
Charge the phone off before bedtime. works for me.
I was thinking about something along the same lines. Have the phone turn off after its 100% charged, and then let the phone charge again, lastly have the phone turn on in the morning. But it's true, since the phone is off there are no services running and the phone will not able to turn on by itself.
I haven't used Tasker, but I guess it would be able to turn it off when charge = 100. Now only if the phone turned back on in the morning before my alarm....hmmmm.

I'd make sure to put a condition so that if your phone gets recharged during the day, that it doesn't turn off. Maybe power off if battery is 100% and the time is between midnight and 6am for example.
I was half asleep when I typed this so I didn't realize if I just turned it off before I slept it would charge
Im running desire z so I am.curious if hibernation actually does a full charge, ill test tonight
But if it does it would be cool to see an app to turn the phone off at certain times and re awakes it before alarms go off
It some older Nokia phones I had this feature was built in so it would awake when there was a alarm or phone call

Sounds like a plan. Also, MorphiousGX recommended SuperPower (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807989) in a kernel thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9722089&postcount=360).
One alternative is Reboot Manager

Reboot Manager (available in marketplace) will allow you to set a specified time when you want to reboot or power off your Dinc. It will not power it back up, so if you rely upon your Dinc as an alarm clock, this isn't the approach.
If, like me, however, you keep the unit plugged in all night and use something else for an alarm, you can set it to power off the Dinc sufficiently early that by the time you arise, the bump charging has completed.
I have no affiliation with the developer; but I like the product and it solved the bump charge issues for me (except for when I travel...'cause I use the Dinc as my alarm....)
I was wondering whether anyone else is having issues with their Nexus 5 not charging, or at the very least charging super slowly?
Mine has been plugged in for about 3 hours and only charged up about 10%. Could it be a teething issue (it's the first charge out of the box) or something worth contacting Google about?
Any input would be gratefully received.

Reboot your phone. Does it show the same battery percentage?

Yeah, I've rebooted a few times as I've been installing odds and bods and getting it how I like it.
I plugged it in with a different charger which took it up to 100% in about an hour, but after unplugging it and using it for about 45mins it's dropped like 35-40% - and that isn't media consumption, that's just settings, web, etc. I'm not sure whether its me or the phone!

Definitely the phone. But I can't figure out exactly what.
The drop to 40% could some from brightness, data, you using and playing with it. In that case, the charger is broken, and needs sending back.
When it's charging go to settings > battery and see what it says at the top next to the word charging.
If it says (AC) then it should be going up around 1% or so every minute, if it says (USB) then it will be anything from 1% every 3 or 4 minutes to every 15 minutes. If you're using the stock charger (plugged into wall socket) it should always say (AC), if it says (USB) then something is wrong.
I'll keep an eye on it over the next 12-24 and see if I can isolate what's responsible. It's an odd one though, for sure.

Glad it's not just me experiencing this. I noticed yesterday that when I took my new Nexus 5 out of the box and plugged into my computer's USB port to charge it the phone's battery percentage was rising painfully slowly, and the percentage wouldn't budge at all when the screen was on.
I charged it to 100% over night using the supplied charger. Drove to work this morning with it plugged into the USB port on my car stereo, and unlike my Nexus 4 which would usually be on 100% by the time I get out of the car, the Nexus 5 was on 94%.
I've been at work for an one hour and 20 minutes now, and whilst my nexus 5 was sitting in my pocket doing seemingly nothing it has dropped from 94% to 80% battery. At this rate it will be on red before I leave work, and even sooner than that if I have to actually use it.
BetterBatteryStats doesn't work with Kit Kat yet so I'm unable to gain any further clues... Will be interested to hear what happens with your Nexus 5.
I've been keeping my eye on it and it seems that Google Services is using the most battery, 24% at present, and my screen - which I would expect to be sapping it the most - is only at 9%.
That said, I charged it up to 100% last night and left it and it was at 91% by morning without being used at all. By lunchtime it was down to 73%, again, without any use save for half a dozen text messages sent.
It's not terribly impressive so far, it has to be said. I'm hoping it's just a painful breaking in process rather than an RMA issue, because Google offers shocking after sales service.

You don't need to RMA. It's the software's fault. Maybe the fact that Google Now listens to you continuously when you're on your homescreen has something to do with it.
Sounds like the phone is performing some sort of heavy background task? Maybe backing up your app settings?
Mine also seems to be discharging very quickly and charging very slowly. It charged the same way on a few different chargers. My SIII can usually go from 10->80 in like 30 minutes...
The always listening thing doesn't seem to be activated on mine (it's a UK model), but I've been surprised by the drain when it's on standby, without even being touched. I'm used to battery life being a bit iffy, as I've come to this from a Nexus 4, but I was expecting a little bit more so far.
I've tried factory resetting in the hope that it might iron-out any potential software issue, so I'll keep tabs on it today and see how it progresses. Fingers crossed, eh?!
Cheers for the continued input folks.
I thought I was the only experiencing this issue it takes awhile to charge and battery drains very quickly. Last night battery was down to 20% this morning woke up and found battery was completely dead, not impressed at all. My biggest concern here after using note 3 for the last month this is very worrying indeed.
Mine is also from the uk.
What are google like on returns and s&@t?

I think this is definitely a Play Services issue.
When I checked my phone late last night I noticed that Google had forwarded a Play Services update to the Play Store. I've been playing with my phone this morning and battery seems hugely improved. Watched YouTube videos for 45-50 minutes and the battery dropped from 100% to 91%, which would suggest a potential screen-on time of around 8 hours and 20 minutes in total. Not bad.
I've had my phone in my pocket for 30 minutes and the battery hasn't budged from 91%, which is again good news. Yesterday it was dropping 1% every 5 or 6 minutes.
It will be interesting to see how it holds up when I stream my Google Play Music library in the car on the way to work, or how it is when I get to my office where the signal is horrible. "Play Services" battery consumption was high on my device yesterday but"mobile standby" was just as bad. Will report back later.

Change your google now voice setting to US English and the hotword box should appear when you back out and go back in.
I have a slightly different issue. My Nexus 5 ONLY charges at USB mode with any other charger than the one supplied. I've tried 5 chargers including the car charger and BB PlayBook high-speed charger. I've also tries using the supplied USB cable with another charger but it's a slow-go.
Very disappointed. May have to RMA because my buddy's phone does not show this problem.
@riz157
In my experience Google Play customer services has been bloody awful. Got dicked around on a simple RMA request (the screen on my N4 went nuts spontaneously) and received no updates or anything. Every time I wrote to them I got told "We're waiting for a specialist to deal with this". It ended up going on for over a month before I said "Sod it" and just sent it to LG. Who, it has to be said, returned it as 'repaired' without even looking at it, leaving the problem still present. Had to just pay the extra out and get a door-to-door replacement from Google in the end, which I wanted to avoid.
In re the problem, have you had the Google Play Services update that @Stylus_XL mentioned? I haven't yet, I don't think. My battery is still draining too fast. I haven't touched the phone for hours, then picked it up and made one 2 minute phone call and it dropped 4%. Stylus, is yours still stable after the update or have you seen any other issues?
My first battery cycle was weird. Took a few hours to reach full, behaved normal on the way down. Second charge from about 40% took about 90 minutes to reach full. It may just be the first cycle or two.
Use original charger.

Anybody else notice the dose feature only seems to work after a reboot. I had my Nexus 5 on all night on my night side , woke up and checked morning and dose hadn't kicked in all night while I was a sleep. I did a reboot and put it back on my shelf went downstairs had my breakfast and got Sorted took about an hour came back to my phone and checked my battery stats and dose had kicked in. Does anyone else think dose should kick in as soon as you turn your phone of. It seems pointless to me how it works. It's hit or miss on my phone.
It works perfectly fine for me even without reboot.
How did you know it didn't worked at the first place?
You can see in your battery stats in the settings. There is gaps on the battery chart, that's dose when you see the gaps.
Here's mine after a reboot last night.
I'm going to fully charge my phone now and take it off my charger and I'll lay it down on my bed side and I bet you dose won't kick in when it's been sat there. Last night dose kicked in straight away about 20 minutes after I took it off charge after I rebooted my device.
Here's with no reboot and of charger fully charged and Dose doesn't even kick in once.

That's not accurate. I'm not sure what the gaps are, but Doze isn't it. For example, in that gap in your picture the battery still dropped by a decent amount.
A better way to see if it works is to tap on the graph to see when the phone is awake, etc. If you see large gaps without being awake, that's Doze in action.
Doze needs time to set in. You can't expect Doze to kick in if you're using the phone a lot during the day. Your second graph was during the day and it looks like you use it a lot throughout the day. You can't expect much there.
OTOH, if you're seeing a drop in battery while the phone sits for hours at night, then you've likely got a wake lock preventing Doze from working.
I notice my phone Dozing when I push the power button and it takes a second to turn on. When it's not Dozing, it turns on immediately.
Hi guys, so last night I was researching apps to limit battery charging my new Android 11 4a (4G) to about 80% or so because I like to plug in the phone at night all night and forget about it until the next day. Gave the native Pixel "Adaptive Charging" a try with an alarm set but 50% of the time the adaptive charging didn't enable (reddit is flooded with complaints about Pixel Adapative Charging so I know it's just not me ;-)
So looking over the two big threads here on XDA about "Battery Charge Limit" & "Advanced Charging Controller" and searching those threads for Pixel 4a in those threads have shown me no good answers on either what app to use or what settings to even use. Also both apps seem to have ceased development and not working so well with Android 11.
Have any of you guys had success with a Battery Charge Limit App for your Android 11 4a and with what settings please?
Same way -- I use an app called Battery Full Notification, that starts throwing notifications once your battery hits X percentage (you decide). I have IFTTT pick up on that notification, and in turn IFTT shuts off my smart switch. Has been working perfectly for me the past couple of years. This of course only works for my one plug that I use for overnight charging. The plug turns on automatically every night around bedtime so its ready to go, then turns off when done. As a top off, it turns back on around 5am in case it dropped at all and then kicks back off when my phone hits 95% and sends the notification
Thanks dude, wow you got that sh*t nailed down tight ;-) But for me just trying to set up a software solution... plug it in & see ya tomorrow without killing my battery kinda thing...
Just asking in case this is just me.
My phone is hitting 100% charge many, many hours before the target time, has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
Is your phone telling you, you are using adaptative charge ?
Yeah and an alarm is set at 7am and i am not putting it on charge until after 9pm.
My Pixel 6 Pro used to hit 100% about an hour before the target time.
Weird, I don't have this problem on mine, just like you said with your p6, I hit 100% few minutes before I wake up ...
Maybe you aren't alone, future update could fix this
cheers, i'll double check again tonight that is is actualy adaptive charging, its all a bit odd really if yours is working ok.

As i said in post #3 an alarm is set for 7AM and the phone was placed on charge after 9PM.
Anyway panic over, i rebooted the phone yesterday as a matter of course and this morning it hit 100% 1 hour before the target time, maybe it had just had a brainfart or something.
Does someone know if it is possible to change the adaptive charging limit from 100% to 80%?
Only through root I guess, by rewriting the Google battery charger file
They are being safer and gentler to your battery. Adaptive 'on' and getting about 18 watt push. Adaptive 'off' and getting over 21 watt push. So it's looking out for you.

You could just set the alarm for a couple of hours later than you want it.
