Battery stuck at 29%

Hello, I've had my NC for a year this month and never had any major issues. I installed manualnooter 4.6.16a when nook was updated to 1.3.0 some time ago and all was great in the NC world. Recently I noticed that my battery is stuck @ 29% no matter what! I never charge via usb thru the computer always plugged in a wall socket. I dld batt solo widget, and many other battery widgets just to make sure, and of course they all say 29%.
Here's the thing, the n on the cord is green which usually mean its fully charged. I used it til it died, plugged it back in to recharge two days and the % is the same. I went ahead and wiped it, updated it back to 1.3.0 stock and you guessed it, it still says 29%. What do you think the problem is, please help.

The problem may be that your charge cable no longer works with an AC source. I know it sounds far fetched, but mine would not charge above 33% with the cable that came with it, but once I used my cable I use in my car it started charging fast again, and is now charging to 100%.

Download the battery monitor widget and it will tell you if your cable is charging AC or USB.USB charge is very weak vs AC. Try recalibrating your battery either with an app (I use nemas version) or do it under advanced in recovery. Assuming you are rooted.

Assuming he is having the same problem as I did, The nook just stops charging, and will not charge any higher than whatever percentage it stops at. The only thing that worked for me was using a new Nook Color Cable. Just an odd bit of wonkiness.

Also, boot into clockworkmod and clear your battery stats. You're battery should be right around 4200mv fully charged (Spare Parts on CM7 can tell you this). Sounds like you just have an issue where its not recognizing full charged as fully charged.

Having the same problem with my Samsung tab!
Hi rock2702,
How were you able to solve your Galaxy Tab charging problem?

maybe he deleted the batterystats or installed betterbatterystats
Or (re)installed a custom ROM.

What was your solution if you don't mind?

well, this is how i solved it...
if it's rooted...
use battery calibrator....
or keep tab switched off for 4 hours or so...and then connect it to charger while switched off
if this also doesn't help then after connecting to charger while it's still off you can see a battery icon charging...simultaneously press switch on button and touch the screen ....if on aokp rom your tab will instantly reboot as i've noticed....if on stock rom which i was on when this thing happened to me....your tab will show a black screen and then again the battery charging icon shoots up....
One of the above things worked for me....i was enjoying my vacations when i encountered this problem and so i cannot remember exactly which of these things worked....
Hit thanks if i've helped..

Battery Not Charging
Well i don't know much about this, but it happen also on my SGT7 P1000 tab. What was notice is, if Usage (mA) value is below zero/negative value during charger plug-in. the battery won't charge. What i do is to turn off the screen an leave the tab on that mode, then battery charging start to increase.
Any one can give explaination on this situation?

The battery in our phone is faulty...this is whats i heard...
But this problem is due to faulty battery stats..
If this problem never happened again then you are quite lucky
I had noticed that the battery increases but after an increase of 20% it again stops.....
But the solutions I gave worked fully without any probs...

my same issue....
is caused by not using original samsung wall charger...when i use a different brand charger, none of my tabs charge unless i turn them off. i purchased extra one from samsung just in case my original breaks or gets lost. Cable is hard to find made by anyone besides samsung (RETAIL). In fact, most samsung accessories are easier to find online than in stores....I think rooting and using different roms affects the way tab reacts to the charger. thats my 2 cents.

Yes, we must use the original charger but the problem stated above clearly shows that it's due to faulty battery stats......
If you have noticed this......charge the battery to full 100% and then notice the battery stats it spontaneously drops down to 99% in a sec....that's due to our battery stats I guess..
Again keep battery on overnight charging...sometimes this happens...
The battery drops down from 99 to 1 % and then you have to restart phone and battery stats are back to 99...that's a battery stats prob

For some time to time since CM9 (1 time each month maybe) my tablet does not charge anymore with any chagrer, I tried restock, tried a lot of thing but the only thing that seems to work is charge it on usb of a computer (low speed charge) up to full charge (a night) which is in my case 99%.
Most of time it fixes the problem untill it happen again, but enerally It's ok for weeks.
I've got two GT7 and only one seems to have this problem with the same rom on it, so I think it is device related.
Hope this help

The charging problem is here the same...
With screen off i could load battery over night yesterday to 100%... plug th charger of and battery drops down to 46%.
Will try the usb loading with pc at work now

Battery won't charge to 100%

Hi
I'm new and this is my first thread.
After I rooted my phone I have an issue with charging my battery.
When I started the phone after the root I had a 100% battery, after I was playing and using it I plugged it in when I was going sleep.
After the whole night my phone charged from around 12% to only 60%, and then after I was using and draining the battery nearly to minimum(around 5-7%) it and left it for a couple o hours and it charged to 59%. Sometimes it charges a bit more but the whole process is really slow comparing it to the stock rom charging(it was taking lik 3-5 hours from 0-100%).
I rooted my phone with ivendor's rom from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825260
I was using CWM 6.0.1.2.
I would like to ask for any solutions for my problem, for now I want to drain it to 0 and then leave it again charging for a couple of hour maybe a whole night.

It's a bug. Sometimes is occures and sometimes not.
You could flash castagnaIT kernel and try again.

Just installed the kernel.
1st thing I noticed is a performance increase.
I'll gonna post what's the situation of battery tomorrow.

Ok, After a whole night of charging my phone only got to 68%, then when I was charging it when it was turned off It charged to 85% and when I turned it on it stopped to charge even with the AC plugged in and the icon is showing that it's charging.
Any solutions ? Please help.

I get a similar issue. When on stock I was always getting 100 %. Then I flashed CM9 and I randomly get 100 % after all night recharge.
If you are not afraid of switching ROMs, try a different one and let us know if it solved the problem because as mrjraider said
It's a bug.

Ok.
I was charging it turned off. It charged to 100%. I'll gonna test it today one more time with charging it when the phone is switched on.
If it fails I'll gonna get back to my stock rom and test it and try again with a battery charge to 100%.

Also remember that the phone wont charge completly due to safety of your battery..
Most of the time it recharged to 98 percent

Yes I know but the indicator in the phone 'has that in mind' so it shows 100% but its really 98 i know. When I was analyzing that battery graph I saw that the battery is charging really long. If I'm reading it right it takes the same amount of time to charge it as to drain it when using it.
Screen is attached. I was charging it through the wall charger.
It's polish language
Any opinions ?

Make your battery empty 0% !
Try to turn on the phone after empty battery !
and make sure that the battery is empty ....
Just connect your charger without turn on you phone....
charge your phone for 9 hours !
Then , take the charger out and turn on your phone !
Try... this steps may it help you

I think that the solution was USB debugging. When I turned it off the phone is normally charging full and works perfectly.

Hey everyone! we are all using a li-ion battery » when we unplug our device from cable it will turn automatocally to 99%... I'm sorry folks, i don't like this feeling neither never havimg 100%...

That's interesting, did you use a usb charger from a computer or a wall charger over night?

Odp: Battery won't charge to 100%
Try another rom. It was the solution in my case.
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

Ahh.... just turn it off. Charge it fully( 3hrs at max). Got to recovery and wipe battery stats. Then drain it completely, and then recharge it fully.again. Then it will most probably go till 100%

88% full charged battery

[Q] charging issues, charges extremely long, stops charging randomly

Hey I was wondering if something is wrong with my device.
I am encountering weird things regarding recharging the device in reliability charging up.
So i am using the original charger which came with the phone, the phone is just like 3 month old i didnt notice anything like that earlier.
So when i am charging the device, sometimes it stops charging, Today I encountered it charging to like 56% and afterwards no more charging so when i got up, my phone was 14% left even when plugged in.
I encountered it several times recently that it stuck recharging at around 50-ish or 70-ish %.
charging usually takes up reasonably long. About 10% an hour. In Settings -> Battery it sometimes it displays USB even when it's charging via AC.
I am not running any fancy apps which drain the phone or clock cpu.
I am running 4.1.2 I9305XXBLL3 Rooted.
Anyone have any suggestion?

Samsung charger that come with the box really charge slow because it only supplies 1Amp.
But for your case seems different. Before checking the software side... have you checked if it's the charger or the cable itself has the problem? Try using other charger.

do you think a nexus 7 charger works fine w/o doing any (more) damage?

Many times it's because of dust and dirt collecting inside usb port. Clean it with compressed air or small brush and try again.

i am aware that dirt might be the problem, but i've took my torch and put some light into the dark usb port to see if there's any dirt but everything looked quite clean to me. I don't have compressed air with me atm do you think a manual air blower used to clean dslr sensors can also do the job?
any other suggestions if the charger and usb port ( dirty ) is not the case?

Use toothbrush and tiny bit of alcohol ( can be after shave) on it to clean port. Do it when phone it's switched off. It's worth to try.
Did you try different charger?? This can be main problem. Many faulty chargers this days.....
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

i have been trying out the nexus 7 charger. it seems to be a bit faster but not as fast as i am used to be on galaxy s2 ... i used the air blower and a tiny bit of dust came out but not quite much, i will see how it performs.

Check the output voltage if same, a bit higher ampere would be fine just not too high, and not voltage.

Samsung charger provides 1000mah because that's the stock charging setting for the SGS3. You'd only need a different charger, like a N7 one if you change the settings to above 1000mah.
OP use current widget to see what current your phone is charging at. It should be 999mah from the wall charger, then you can change chargers and see whether it's the charger or your phone with the problem.

i just bought an extra battery.lets see how it goes.
i noticed my old battery had a small bump in the middle seems bloated. hmm
i remembered last time i used xperia s charger trice,it has 1.5kA it realy charge fast. i think that caused the problem?
when my sister charge her xperia s, the charger just explode.. and she scolded me why am i using her charger.
im using my old charger which is 700ma but it charge just fine. lately when i use the xperia s charger and went back to my old one,it was acting strange. it charges really slow and if i use the phone,it depletes even when charging.
im going to flash another rom,and see if its rom related or the battery isue.
thanks for replying.

ok,im on with my new battery but still depletes while im using it. im just browsing. on the widget it say im currently charging with 1000ma. wierd, dont know how to solve this.

[SYMPTOMS I HAD] it would charge very slowly, if the screen is on, it would actually discharge. When the phone was off, it would slowly charge (i.e. >5 hours to full charge). and it would discharge very quickly (i.e. 1% per 2~3 mins). When the phone was off, it would charge sometimes and sometimes not. Figured that when the phone was off, you really are negating much of the software influences so this could be a hardware issue, however, wanted to make sure before going down the hardware route.
Did some research, searched the forums and searched some more.
I had tried 5 different chargers, 3 different USB cables and had bought a replacement battery.
Steps taken:
1. Cleaned with thick paper - no change
2. Cleaned with thick paper & rubbing alcohol - no change
3. Cleared with Compressed gas - no change (on first charge, there was a change but then back to normal)
4. Attempted to clean with vacuum (with finer nozzle) - no change
5. Used charging apps from playstore - didn't show charging details - considered the port was faulty
6. Tried to find default references for charging as mentioned in one of the forums - unable to find it
7. Found a replacement USB port charger board and replaced it - working fine
So it could be the actual port is faulty. If you symptoms match, it could be time to take it into the service centre, restoring to stock first of course. The note I am using had slow charging for about 2 months prior to really slow charging.

i had change the usb port and its back to normal. 2hrs at least and its full.

Fingers crossed, thats all you need.
