Hey, have a quick question. With my nook, if I plug it into the wall it starts charging and even promps me that it is doind so. However, when I lock the screen then unlock it with my password the icon that says it is charging is regular. When I unplug it and plug it back it it charges. Is this just a glitch or is it really still charging?

is it just my unit or anyone else have this issue? the battery indicator (lock screen and notification bar) shows 99% and just wont go up anymore.
UPDATE 2: Trick - when the phone stop at 99% while charging after a while, unplug the cable and immediately plug the cable back in. The battery indicator now should show "Charged".
UPDATE 1: Seem to be a safety mechanism to protect the battery from overcharged.
Also notice the following issues:
2) battery indicator may show as still charging when cable is already unplugged (only happened 2 times so far)
3) screen on by itself randomly while charging (not always but do happen some times)
4) battery discharging mechanism (to protect from over charge) may go haywire! It may go down from full/ 99% to 90% or less while still charging (may be related to (1) ).
Check your cable while charging. Also check to see if its charging as AC not USB. When it switches to USB, then screen will turn on.

Can't speak for the other 2 issues, but only charging to 99% isn't really a bug. This used to occur on the Galaxy Nexus. More reading here
Battery Charges Only to 99%
You can just ignore it, as it's apparently a way to safeguard the battery. Not sure the exact percentage point at which your battery stats reset, but it will have already occurred at 99%, for sure.

I was charging with AC, and I used a cable which is for charging only (can't transfer data). I tried it again today with the original cable from the Nexus 4 box, and have not noticed the screen turn on by itself again... Suppose it is the cable fault.
As for the stuck charging icon, it happened twice since I got the phone, but have not appeared again. Can't pinpoint the issue.

Ah... this is my first Nexus device. Surprised to find that it is actually a safeguard feature :silly: well as long as it is not faulty I guess I just have to get used to it. Thanks for sharing.
It has to be the dumb usb adaptor that comes with the phone. Mines charges perfectly fine to 100% using an LG AC wall charger I bought.. And even if I restart the phone it stays as charged at 100, USB would be at 99% when I rebooted..

yea my screen turns on randomly sometimes.
also, try this , when u plug in your charger to the wall but dont plug it into the phone , listen to it itll sound like its gonna explode.
Is there any indicator of charging? When I plug in charging there are no indicator of charging once screen is off. Couple of times, while charging over USB, my phone didn't charge at all, and I didn't know because screen was off and there's no indicator of charging exceps icon on screen.
Anyone had problems with charging over USB?
Your usb ports may not provide enough power for charging. Often the case with laptops, sometimes only specific usb ports provide power.
My USB charger works fine but there is NOT an external indicator because there is NO LEDs
battery icon changes when charging

You do not want to keep the screen on while you are sleeping, for example!!!
Try this app:

Makes use of the LED backlit screen, VERY useful.
Not enough power over USB is not likely, because sometime it does charge, sometime it doesn't. On same USB, I charge HTC Desire without any problem.
And I also think that not having indicator of powering is wrong, because keeping screen on is bad solution. There should be a led light indicator or some other way without keeping screen on.
Sounds like a bad cable but if you can charge your desire then i'll guesss it's not.
Stupid question, but have you tried different cables? Different usb-sockets?
Only problem left I can think of is if your connector on the phone is bad.
Mine charges just fine through USB.
Tried different cables, different USB. But sometimes works, wometimes not, so it bugs me. I would hate if it's bad connection on the phone, but just can't find what it is, since sometimes it works, sometimes not.
It would have been nice, afaik the S III has one. But then that's a design decision by Samsung. If you decide you need that LED, you should have chosen another phone.
For me, it's not that that big an issue...

Using NoLED now and powering over charger, no problems so far
I have a droid turbo, and a spigen 3 coil charger. (i originally had a hockey puck) anyway when I charge my turbo it will hit 100% and stop which I dont care for but it doesnt really bother me. What is really annoying is that when I wake up my charger is off. no light no reaction, Nothing I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work again. This is really annoying. Any way to fix?
If it charges to 100% and stops then What's the problem?

I have to unplug the charger and plug it back in to get it to charge again that night. Kinda makes it pointless to have a wireless charger if you have to keep unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Sleep Mode or maybe when it charges to 100 and your phone discharges it kicks the charger back on through the night at various times causing it to just shut off.

Sounds like a charger problem. I have a Nokia wireless charger, no complaints.

Hi There,
Need some help/advice,
My TP 32Gb, running 7.1.1 has had a problem recently with charging. It always charges when it is first switched on, if left the screen switches off and the charging light goes out and then no further charging happens. It wonder if I should leave the screen on all the time, this way it will continue to charge. If I place the tablet on the Touchstone, a clock face appears whilst it is charging - is there anyway that I can do this using a bog standard charging cable?
Many thanks.
It charges on the touchstone, but not via direct cable to the HP barrel charger?
Are you using the same barrel charger? or two different ones?

My phone screen turns on when I plug in the charge cable or put it on the wireless charger. Is there a way to disable this?

Per chance do you have stay awake enabled in developer options?
There is no native way to avoid this behaviour, but you can somewhat manage it via an app called Snoozy charger in playstore
I'm just curious... Why are you bothered by the 5 seconds of screen on when you plug in the charger ? It just gives you an indication that charging has started, 5 seconds, and then it turns off.
