Hi,
Anyone faced not charging battery, only charges if I squeeze the phone with my hands? First it starts charging with about 2,200mAh as it should then suddenly drops and even discharging? Checked with Ampere and Accubatery.
Possible loose connector, battery or mobo failure.

I am not sure what the problem is, so maybe someone can help me.
I have a tf101 whit docking not rooted or anything.
The battery is drained 1% I can start the tabled and it shuts down, exactly what you would expec. When i plug in the adapter directly in the docking or tablet alone. it does not say charching. When i leave the charger in the tablet it is actualy charching(over night it is 30%), but it is not saying that it is charging. When the battry is 30% and i leave the charger in and start up the tablet the battery drains to zero.
I have tried multiple cables and chargers and all simulair.
Anyone?
I just found out that it is charching whit the original charger again. Maybe the charger has been the issue over all.
For now the tablet is charging again and problem looks OK again I still think it is a combo of battey getting bad and bad charger.
I bought a Nokia wireless charger from ATT online store.
It works on my nexus 5, but when the phone is full charged the LED light on the charger is still solid on (on means charging, and blinking means done). However I go to Setting->battery, and it shows battery is full.
My question is which one is right?
-Wireless charger is still charging the phone.
-The system shows battery is full, so the phone won't be charged. But since the charger is Nokia, so it doesn't know my Nexus 5 battery is full.
Thanks in advance
I believe there phone will stop charging the battery buy the charger won't know so it'll keep going. The phone has the circuitry to prevent damage to the phone.

I purchased (2) tylt wireless chargers from kickstarter a while back and I planned to keep the N5 cradled most of the time.
Unfortunately while the chargers work great they also heat the battery to 110 F while charging as compared to around 80 F with a straight USB charger. I'm afraid this heat will eventually kill the battery. Since the battery isn't easily replaceable I've decided to abandon the wireless chargers.
The batteries and the whole device stays hot after its charged and until I pull it off the charger. I didn't notice whether the charge light actually went out on the charger itself after the charge was completed. If I'm brave or (dumb) enough to try it again I'll report back.
Anyone having better luck with the stock wireless charger or other wireless chargers like the Nokia?
I purchased the same Nokia wireless charging pad, and, despite the LED not turning off on the pad, the battery DOES stop charging once it is full.
This can be observed through a battery monitoring app like Battery Widget Reborn. If you look at the battery graph at any point after the battery hits 100%, and before you remove it from the charging pad, you'll notice an even 2 or 3 percent drop and rise at regular intervals. This is the trickle charge mechanism. Once the battery is full, it stops charging, Once the battery drops down to a certain percentage, the charge resumes, and the cycle repeats itself until you take the phone off of the charging pad.
Same here with another brand on wireless charging pad, I think it's normal

Are you not concern with premature battery wear considering now it's not user replaceable? Heat is supposedly not good for battery life.

This really explained me what happens. Thanks !!!
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).
I have had my phone plugged into mains using official 2Amp charger but charge is not increasing. Even in battery stats page it shows it has been charging for 2 hours. If i unplug and use phone then charge drops and stays dropped.
What should i do?
This seems to have started after I flashed the newer 241 modem, would that cause this??
Solved.
Solved. was a faulty cable
Hi everybody,
it's a few days I have weird problem with SuperCharge.
I apologize for the lenght of this post, but I don't want to miss any detail that could help in solving my problem.
I recently replaced the battery with a new original one (I hope) bought from an eBay seller.
When I switched-on the smartphone, battery level was 58%. So, I used it normally and, when battery level lowered at 30%, I plugged-in the charger.
Completed the recharge, I used the phone as always.
At night, with 30% of battery level, I plugged-in the charger and I went to sleep.
The next day, in the morning, I turned on the screen and the battery level was 32%. I was confused... So, I un-plugged the charger, plugged it in again and the phone needed just few minutes to fully charge at 100% (very weird).
Then I normally used the phone for the entire day.
At night, with 30% of battery level, I plugged-in the charger and I went to sleep.
The day after in the morning I turned on the screen and again the battery wasn't fully charged. It was only 34%.
This time I unplugged the charger and I restarted the phone. After that, it showed 100%. So, in reality, the battery was fully charged!
This made me think it could have been a software related problem: so, I performed a Wipe-Cache-Partition and a battery re-calibration process.
After that, I noticed the charging process was slower, although the phone shows "Super-Charge" in the lock-screen.
So, I wanted to monitor the charging process with Ampere and this is what happens:
- as soon as I connect the charger, for the first few seconds the charging rises to about 4000mA (as it should);
- suddenly the charging stops, as if I disconnected the charger. At the same time, the battery temperature rises for one second to 44/45 ° C and then quickly returns to 32/34 ° C.
- after a few seconds, the phone starts charging again, but at 1600/1700mA.
- cyclically, therefore, the phone tries again to increase the charging to 4000mA, but, as soon as it reaches the peak, the same phenomenon described above is repeated.
I noticed that the charger overheats while charging.
I replaced the USB-C 5A cable, but the problem persists, so it's not cable related.
If, on the other hand, I use a non-5A USB-C cable, the phone recharges in FastCharge mode (2A) without interruptions and the charger does not heat up.
So, the problem exists only with SuperCharge.
Do you think the charger is defective?
Or is the new battery defective?
I thank in advance anyone who will help me. :fingers-crossed:
I noticed a similar problem with super charge.. When plugged in for charging, super charge doesnt show.. It takes super long to charge to even 50%.. So i tried other cables as well and same issue.. I restarted the phone a few times and then switched it off.. Plugged charger in and left it over night. I noticed the next day super charge was functioning correctly
