Why can't I get a 100% charge? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I charge my phone it reaches 99% and it remains there it never reaches a 100% charge.
And my led notification is always red never goes green.
Did anybody else notice this?

Maybe you are using 3rd party application like Battery Motifier in which the settings of battery full is only set to 99%. I am using this application for charging my phone then this app notifies me once it was fully charge using a sound notification. Try to check your applications installed to your phone maube you have same kind of application or the likes... hopefully it helps

Haven't installed anything out of the ordinary that would cause this.
Now I'm worried.

I know for some Samsung devices they don't charge all they way. It is a measure used to save the battery

My one did this but it was because I was using a Samsung charger (don't want to open charger or headphones in case of resale) so I tried my HTC one X charger and it went back to100%.

I am using supplied charger, didn't see 100% yet.. But will see later on..

I had to get an exchange for my first handset. It had major gaps, and battery never fully charged.
It seems it was due to a dodgy battery. Even if the phone was left on charge for 10 hours it still wouldn't fully charge, turned on or off.
If it gets really hot while trying to charge after 98% it may be the same thing, and you should possibly ask for an exchange, or get it checked out.

How do you know the battery is at fault?
Sent from a pizza..

Why not let the phone discharge until it shuts off, then try to completely charge it from empty. I had an atrix once that would only charge to 99 after most Rom installs until I did this. Always figured it was a battery calibration thing.

Interesting fact, Lithium-ion polymer batteries do not charge to 100% capacity by design. They are actually quite difficult to charge correctly (in the electrical engineering sense, it's still plug and charge for the end user) and it is not worth the additional hassle to get to a "true" full charge. What the phone reports as 100% is only 2-3% off of the theoretical max capacity so in practice the difference is not noticeable.
It's hard to say if this effect is whats responsible for what you're seeing, but it could be related. Another possibility is that you simply haven't let it trickle charge long enough to report 100%. The last few % charge of any phone battery is going to go at a much slower rate compared to 20-90% for example. Really the only thing you can do is the somewhat standard advice to get a full discharge/charge cycle in to let android re-calibrate itself.

this is normal, it eventually does it,m dont worry about it
sometimes if i use the phone whilst its on charge it turns green
im not bothered, 99% is good enough for me it trickles down at the end really slowly
even 95% is good enough i usually unplug it at 95

I had the same thing when I got my phone, I was using a cheapo micro usb charger that did not have the beans to charge the one.. it got to 99% always.
Switched to proper one with phone and voila green light & 100%
For the record an iPad 3 (aka "new" iPad) charger works if you swap the USB cable also.

I am using the charger that came with the phone, and it has been an hour on 99%, any advice? To the ones who reached the 100% mark, how long did you leave it at 99%?

Happened to me too, with stock charger.
Finally got it to completely charge. I let it discharge to 2 percent than charged it with the touchpad charger. Most probably the first step isn't required. The charger outputs 2A. Will try other chargers including pc usb..

Let me know how it works ok... Seems like maybe its a stock charger issue...or maybe i just need to let it discharge to less than 2% most i ever let it down to was 9%...keep me updated please...

i had that problem on my s2 with some custom roms. it would charge to 100% if i unplugged it rebooted and plugged it back in. also it went away after 1 or 2 battery cycles

Reboot device when at 98/99%, then it will show 100% for some reason.

Charging Problem

Sometimes if I attempt to charge when the battery is over 90% capacity, it doesn't. It keeps depleting down to 89%, and then it will start charging up to 100 again. I'm just going to go ahead and assume this is a hardware issue since it's happened to me in CM7 & MIUI, but is it common? Is there a known fix for it? I'd really like to avoid shipping my phone to HTC.
this is built into the battery driver code to do this. if you charge to full, then unplug, use 5% and try to charge back up to 100%, it wont let you do it. you must drain it to below 90%, then it will allow you to charge back up to 100%.
its just the way the ds2784 fuel gauge chip and driver are designed, no worries. also the n1 and desire both use this same chip and driver etc.
Why would it be designed to do this?

I let my battery run dry and now phone won't charge.

So my phone turned off from being out of battery and now it won't charge. I was able to power it up again for a few minutes and it was not charging and there was some error that said something like "Phone won't charge, please use stock charger". What do?
Update: I charged it overnight while off and it was able to charge back to 100%. However, it is still unable to charge while it is on or off (for a short amount of time plugged in at least). Not sure if letting it sit for hours like when I charged it overnight would work.

Just keep it plugged to the charger. Some time when the battery is really dead, it takes a while for it to get charge and turn on the device. Try it. If it still doesn't work, send it in.

Plug it in using the charger and cord that came with it. Leave it plugged in for a hour. Orange LED will come on eventually well hopefully.
Don't calibrate the battery again.

Battery issue :S

I have searched this but could only find one other person having this issue and no one really knew. But when I charge my htc one to 100% take charger out and then put it back in it shows 98% all of a sudden.
So I let it charge more and take it out and in again still does same thing. Done it repeatedly too. Anyone else having this issue ? Or a solution? It is like it thinks it's charged fully put it hasn't. And it's annoying. Thanks

Try the battery calibration app from the playstore, that might fix the percentage drops.
this is normal behavior, my one does that too and gets perfect battery life. this happens because the phone charges to 80-90% very quickly then trickle charges (on and off) for the remainder of the capacity. this is to prolong the battery lifespan and is a healthy way to charge the phone. my iphone 5 did the same thing.

Some questions about charging an HTC one

Hello friends, I just bought an HTC one and I'd like to say that I'm having a great time with it. But I do have some questions about how to properly charge it, because I've read just about every theory about how to charge it.
Should I wait for it to get to 0% and then charge it, and should it charto to 100% or a bit less;
Can I keep the phone on while charging, or should I turn it off?;
Can I use it while charging?;
Is it bad if I let it charge at night while I'm sleeping and plug it off when I wake up.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helped me!

my phone sits in a desktop cradle all night on charge and almost never goes below 40% in a long days usage. most of the time my phone is somewhere between 100 and 70% battery.

discharging to 0 and charging it to 100% is used for battery calibration (once or twice a month)
you can use your phone while charging but will take more time to charge
no it is safe to let it charge whole night because of the trickle charging

About that trickle charge, if I let the phone charge all night and turned on, the trickle charge basically does nothing right? because the charger stops charging when the battery gets full right? But if the is on, every time it gets to 100%, it stops charging and starts losing battery, and then it charges again, and so on.... Is it true?

trickle charge will happen no matter screen is OFF or ON
i charge my phone with Daydream ON and it discharges after full
trickle charge happens when battery is 100% and then it doesn't charge and discharge upto 90% and starts charging again, IMO

How to Fast Charge N7000

I'm using a newly bought battery and original charger still my phone take 4 hours to charge full I'm using pa rom even on stock it take 4 hours how to fix it?????

Ain't that normal? What's the capacity of the battery?
Gesendet von meinem GT-N7000
There's no official fast charge ROM support available for Galaxy Note.
You can increase the charge speed my optimizing your battery performance. Most Samsung phones take 3-4 hrs for charging depending on the phone state.
Make sure you clear all apps before keeping your phone for charging as any running app can eat up the battery. Look up for any suspicious apps which may be eating up battery.
Use CPU spy to make sure that your phone is going imto deep sleep while charging, if not there's a malicious app which is keeping up the phone awake or there's problem with the ROM you're using.
Also check that your phone is not getting heat up while charging, as it could mean a great power loss which could highly affect the charge time.
If nothing works try changing ROM.
Or at the last case if you are a regular ROM chamger then try to clear up battery stats through some app available from play store which requires root.
One more issue which I once encountered was with my charger cable being faulty( although no signs of physical damage) and I changed it with a locally bought cheap cable and miraculously my phone stopped heating and charged faster.
The more you care for your device, the better it gets.
Hope I have helped you.

I checked my 2 Notes, max current it draws is limited by the charging circuit. Seems no kernel can change that value in the Note.
It charges max at 1 Amp, no matter if you attach it to a charger that can deliver like maybe 1000 Amps, the max current is 1 Amp.
That 1 Amp is also until it reaches about 90% ... since Li-Ion is very picky and actually dangerous when overcharging they slow it down.
It's a statement that I hear often in the wrong context : I bought a new battery and it takes very long to charge. Actually that is a sign that the battery has a big capacity. You can only take what you give.
Of course the charger and cable are very important. I would advice everyone to buy one of those usb charger doctors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451375
Dirt cheap and you know what is going on.
