Its common thing actually. If battery charged for 100% and still connected to charger, it won't receive any current from charger. Which means battery starts discharging even when you connected to charger once 100% is reached. A short work around is there, just unplug the charger before 100%. I jus tested with 80-85% percentage, and found my battery level doesn't decreases for next two hours.
Edit:
Simple Guidelines for Charging Lithium-based Batteries
A portable device should be turned off while charging. This allows the battery to reach the threshold voltage unhindered and reflects the correct saturation current responsible to terminate the charge. A parasitic load confuses the charger.
Charge at a moderate temperature. Do not charge below freezing.
Lithium-ion does not need to be fully charged; a partial charge is better.
Chargers use different methods for “ready” indication. The light signal may not always indicate a full charge.
Discontinue using charger and/or battery if the battery gets excessively warm.
Before prolonged storage, apply some charge to bring the pack to about half charge.
Over-discharged batteries can be “boosted” to life again. Discard pack if the voltage does not rise to a normal level within a minute while on boost.
No warranty for all tips!

Battery no charge

I have a issue here, yesterday I was skyping while connected to the charger for a bout 4 hours. Problem strated when I charge my phone again and it did not past 88%. I let the batt to fully 0% till unble to power up and put it to charge again. Again the charge would no go after 88%. Did clear batt stats in recovery but still failed. Any solution for this.

[Q]Faster discharge than charge?

Hi guys,
Just using my phone on charge and I noticed that my phone clicked into power save mode despite it being on charge.
It seems the phone is discharging faster than it's able to charge. I know the One X used to show a warning for this.

Mine does this too if it's doing something intensive
Are you using the wall outlet or USB port to charge your phone?
Happens on USB, not on AC.

Losing battery with charger connected

Recently I noticed that my phone is losing charge while charging, yes im using it but I still think I should gain charge and not be losing it. Is anybody else have this problem?
I get this problem the most when using MHL adaptor, I can be watching a film, from the sd card, and lose almost 60-70% of battery (screen brightness at lowest, and stock charger) is there a way to turn the screen off and use hdmi that I have missed that can help?

Probably the MHL adaptor only accepts 500mAh input. The USB standard, instead of the rated 1500mAh the original charger provides.

Try that to turn off the screen. Needs root.
Thanks, I'll give that a go

If you use non sony cable, stock charger will charge with only 500mah.
Use proper charger and usb cable.
I have afew micro usb cables and, every one of them have different charging current. Find the best cable and charger with nova battery monitor application from market.

Thanks but it isn't compatible with my device

Daniel ! You need to ensure your adapter isn't charging on SSM3 mode. This was the case with me, I disabled it and it fixed the problem.
Are you the guy that is **** at basketball ? thought so ...
What do you mean SSM3? Are do I know you?? Haha

losing charge can happen on a proper charger too depending on the use of the device - obviously, aside from trying to get the battery hungry screen turned off you can also turn all radios off that isn't used. kill very battery hungry tasks (normally killing tasks for battery purposes is no good idea, but if one have gone crazy, go ahead and kill it ) you can also try to lower the cpu's max frequency, but of course not so low that the movie can't get played.. hope this helped a bit

Weird battery drain?

I put my phone on the charger last night at 1%, went to sleep. Woke up this morning and it was off. Turned it on while it was still on the charger and it was at 6% Notice on the far right of the screenshot it got fully charged then died on charger.

Also sometimes my phone likes to turn off by itself. Have to hold down volume down+power then let go of volume for it to come on.

Check for corrosion and gunk in your charging port and connector. If none found try a different charger. The picture you submitted shows a quite odd report. Also could try wiping battery stats... but I think you might need an unlocked phone for that.

I have a similar problem. It just started recently. I had 19% and then I dropped to 1%. I charged it and had to reboot my phone for something when it was 14% and when it turned back on, it was at 3%.

Has anyone tried another charger that has higher amp output, I use iPhone @ 1.5 amp charger and works great, also AHD phones need minimum .750 amp chager.
Has anyone tried also to re-calibrate battery?

I have. I had this issue just once, but after that, my battery life its been worse. I feel like I have a 20% of unused battery or something. I have calibrated it multiple times with no luck.
