My phone is charging but not showing the charging icon,
when it does display the icon and i disconnect the phone.....
it still says charging(and no pc connection possible).
only way to refresh this is by removing the battery.
and then 1 charge or connect\disconnect is max.
for the next connection i have to remove battery again.
no matter what rom\kernel.
i even tried twrp instead of cwm!
oh,and when i reach 100% charge....
the phone reboots.
again and again and again(untill i disconnect charger).
any suggestions?

A strange thing happened to me: last night I turned off the phone with about 60% of charge remaining, this morning I turn it on and I find 13%, after a reboot it gave me 50% ...
What can be the cause?
I found that here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755903&page=33
You can try it :
This is the procedure that works for me:
The following steps should significantly extend the battery life on your phone:
1. Let the battery drain close to empty (5% or less).
2. Connect the phone to the charger (AC or USB, USB is better) while powered on and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged and untill the voltage is at least 4187mV. A higher voltage like 4192mV or more is even better. Use a tool like Overcharged or Battery Indicator to monitor this. Note that a green notification LED does not automatically mean that the voltage is good too.
A higher voltage means in practice that it will take longer to discharge, a lower voltage means that the battery will discharge a lot quicker! The difference can be quite significant!
3. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it off.
4. Reconnect the phone to the charger while powered off and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. The notification LED may turn green immediately. Leave it on the charger for another hour.
5. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
6. Once the phone is powered on completely (has restarted fully) wait 2 minutes and power it off again.
7. Reconnect the phone to the charger while powered off and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green. The notification LED may turn green immediately. Leave it on the charger for another hour.
8. Leave the phone on the charger and reboot into the ClockWorkMod recovery menu and wipe the battery stats via -> Advanced -> Wipe battery stats.
9. Disconnect the phone from the charger, restart the phone and start using it as normal.
From then on always let the battery drain close to empty (5% or less) as often as possible and then charge untill the voltage is at least 4187mV. A higher voltage like 4192mV or more is even better.
Normally you will have to do this only once. However, on all Android ROMs, if you flash a ROM while charging or during the first boot screen on, first boot mucks up the levels Android thinks the phone is at, i.e. Android will think you’re at 100% when maybe you’re only 90% or whatever. So in theory you will need to repeat this every time you flash a ROM while charging!
Better is to make sure the battery is charged before you flash a ROM and just remove the USB/charge cable before you flash a ROM. Put it back in (if you must) after the first boot screen (when the custom screen or whatever shows).
Thank you, I'll try it
Edit: thanks to this post, my problem has been solved. Thanks!
So last night I went from stock motorola 2.2 to this wonderful-seeming version of CyanogenMod on my UK milestone - the install went flawlessly, but now I have a problem - my battery is not charging at ALL.
While the phone was on last night after I charged it, it was plugged in, first to my PC and then to the wall socket. In both cases, the battery indicator had a ? (question mark) on it.
I thought it might have been some weirdness with battery calibration so I left it and plugged the phone in from the wall to charge overnight. This morning, my phone was telling me to connect my charger (despite it being plugged in) and on removing the power cable, it died due to no battery power left within 10 minutes.
While plugged in from the wall, the battery indicator comes up but again just contains a ? on it. The little white light next to the power socket never lights up.
If I plug the phone in to my PC via USB then if the handset is OFF, the white light comes on and around 10 mins later it gets enough juice to boot up. The problem is that when the CM7 software starts, the little white light disappears, the phone stops charging despite the cable being present, and it then dies 2 minutes later.
I know the battery is fine because it was perfectly fine before I installed CM7.
Anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix it?
One thing I did manage to do before it died was install a battery calibration app that I found on xda-developers - this told me that the battery was running at 3267 mV - any idea if that's good or bad?
(and yes, I'm using precisely the same cable/charger I was using before I put this version of CM7 on, so I know they are fine - they charge a friend's SGS with no problems)

Try plugging the phone into the wall charger, without the battery. Try and boot it up and let it boot. Once it's booted up, give it a bit and try and put the battery in and leave it to charge.
What happens if you turn off you phone and plug it in a wall charger? If the problem isn't in your battery it will charge fully.
When you phone comes up, try to disable the 1% battery steps in settings. I got a problem with it, and after disabled/enabled it worked fine for me.
Hope this helps.
On plugging it into a wall charger, the phone comes up with its special battery charging screen (i.e. a fullscreen battery level indicator) - no amount of pressing the power button seems to get it to boot properly (with or without the battery).
I'll see if I can get in and get rid of the 1% steps thing later, thanks for the suggestion

Dude, that was PERFECT.
Managed to get enough juice into the thing to get into the menu for a moment and was able to disable the 1% battery steps option - soon as I touch that tickbox, the battery indicator switches from a ? to the charging symbol and the phone starts charging. Thanks a million!
Nop dude, you are welcome
Hi!
I'm having a problem whith a friend's S3 which I'm not being able to solve.
When the phone is not connected to the charger the battery lasts less than a few minutes being overly optimist.
He bought a new battery, and exactly the same happens.
If I try to charge it when it's turned off, the charging indicator flips between 100% and whatever number between 10 and 100%. So it goes like 100% - 30% - 100% - 31% - 100% - 32% . When it seems charged, I unplug it, try to turn it on, and WHEN IT DOES TURN ON, almost instantly the message "Battery low, connect charger" appears. Sometimes I can't turn it on if it's not connected to the charger.
I've tried rooting the phone, flashing an updated recovery which let me wipe the battery stats, but it didn't work.
Whith the phone rooted I tried whith some play store "Battery doctor apps", same results.
I can't seem to find the problem, any help would be really appreciated!
I have to add that I measured the battery charge with a multimeter and it reads 2.77V out of 3.8 , meaning it's 73% charged.
The phone won't turn on unless I connect it to the charger.
Hi everybody,
I upgraded my Xperia Z to Lollipop. Immediately after that I got the following problem in the order described:
- Phone was at 80% after upgrade.
- It was not charging after the upgrade, and I had no more connection to the phone via USB anymore. Also PC Companion did not see the phone anymore.
- The battery drained after some time so the phone went into "brick-mode" because connecting it to the pc via USB, nor connecting it to (different) wall chargers did not charged the battery.
- With the phone compeletely empty, I just left it connected one evening to my wall charger, and when I woke up the next day the phone was again completely charged to 100%.
- But no the circle starts from the front again --> no connection to PC and not able to charge the phone until it goes out completely, waiting for some hours connected to the charger, and only then it starts charging again until 100%. I also once booted the phone before it was at 100%,.. even then it will not go on to charge when the phone is on, NOR will it continue to charge when I shut it down again manually (so not let it drain to 0%).
Does anybody had/has the same issue? I think it is a waste not trying to fix this because the phone is still in a very good condition.
Any advise would be helpful, thanks, Pieter.
I always put my cell phone to charge at dawn, and when I wake up, my phone is around 75%.
Fast charging is disabled when it reaches 70%, but if I reconnect the cable, the phone charges completely.
Does anyone have this problem?
PS: Arround 2 week of use, charger and cable are the original ones.
Try replacing the cable
About charge percentage maybe it's kind of reporting mistake. Let the phone reach 1% then charge it to 100. Check if there's an app running in the background constantly.
If the signal strength isn't the best in your area try enabling airplane mode before you sleep and watch the battery usage then.
