Charging issue?

Here's a weird one.
I plugged my NC in to charge this morning. It was just fine and then all of a sudden, the green light turned off and now the NC is no longer charging even though the battery is only at 59% .
What gives? Anyone else notice this?

Have not experienced anything like that. If I did though, I would reboot and see if that changes anything.
Good luck.

Try a reboot. I have noticed the last couple of days that my NC charges, but the status on the battery is not updated until a reboot. I have not figured out why this is happening yet. . .

I will try. The thing is, when i connect to the laptop via usb, it no longer recognizes my device as a drive. My macbook says it's drawing too much power and disbles the port. I'm wondering if they're related? I guess the NC charger requires more juice .......

I have two Win7 laptops and one of them no longer recognizes my NC as a drive either. The other one sees it as the Nook Color and as two drives. It's strange. I have not tried to find out why yet as there are only so many issues I can worry about at one time.

You know. . . I have noticed my problem just in thelast three days, and I have not tried it on a USB port in that time. Let us know if a full restart fixes your problem. It does sound a little different from mine.

I had the same problem till I started doing the following:
Make sure Nook is completely powered off.
Plug in USB cable, Nook boots up on it's on.
Turn off WIFI.
Unplug USB from Nook and then plug USB cable back in.
Now: Nook charges correctly in CHARGE mode:
It seems it takes unplugging 2X to get it into charge mode. You will see the light turn amber on the cable and the status of the Nook will be charging. The battery icon will show as well.

Well, that's annoying. Will i have to do that every time?

So rebooted the NC last night and plugged it in to charge. The light was orange and device showed it was charging when i went to bed. I just got up and the light is no longer on and battery only charged to 90% overnight. What gives? Is there somthing faulty?

And i just rebooted again and the NC still not recognizing the charger.

Yet another update --- I finally got the NC to start charging again. Now the light on the cable turned green and the battery is only at 97%. Isn't it supposed to stay orange until the battery is fully charged?

Never had any problem charging mine at all... I plug it in typically towards the end of the second day, or when it gets much below 40%.. I always (intentionally) charge it using the Nook Charger and Nook Cable, any other combo will only charge it slowly, probably around 10%/hr at most IF the NC is standby/screen off.
As for how far it charges until it says it's done... Some Android phones stop showing "charging" at 90% but continue to slowly charge to 100%, some it's higher... And when it hits full it TURNS OFF THE CHARGER until it drops below the threshold again. This is how charging LiIon is done. I personally haven't paid any attention to how the NC charges, as it "just works" for me.

I'm wondering if it's something wrong either with my cable or my actual NC. Ugh. I don't want to return for another unit.

Bump. Anyone else seeing these charging issues? Should I take this back?

Not sure how relevant it is, but "slow charging" will not charge device very quickly, buti does supplement battery life quite nicely. since open wifi is my only internet source atm, I use an fm tranmitter with a usb port to listen to pandora in my car without draining battery at all. actually slowly charges if screen is off.

I'm just trying to figure out if there is something wrong with my NC or it's charger.

Dunno, but I finally broke down and bought a NC yesterday morning.
Had a b!tch of a time inserting the mini-USB cable, which presumably should not be the case. Managed to get it charged. Mine came OOB w/a 98% charge!
Then stupidly I removed the cable, but wanted to sideload a book shortly afterwards via Calibre and again had a b!tch of a time getting the mini-USB cable inserted. (Only mini-USB device that I have, so no other cable to compare with.)
Can't even get it to insert this morning, so I'm giving up for now and back this one goes.
Not real impressed so far with the build quality of a $250 device. Arguably OOB both the Pandigital Novel and Augen Gentouch were better. To make matters worse it doesn't even come close to the gTab's build quality either, which I was expecting it to be closer to.
Funny note in the manual that I noticed while browsing through it(checking to see if they maybe had a sneaky trick/lock to insert/remove mini-USB), and found a line:
"do NOT turn off NC while charging"?!
I usually turn off my devices while charging as they'll charge a bit more quickly, typically...

I would suggest that rather than relying on the battery percentages, start looking at the actual mV readings of the Spare Parts/Battery Information. I say this because I've seen android have fits trying to give accurate battery percentage readings. I'll put mine on the wall charger now and post the max mV level I can reach. Perhaps others can as well?

Ok I just put my NC on charge and the battery was reading 13% and showing a 3601mV reading.

My replacement NC, whose USB/charge cable inserts MUCH more easily that #1's did, came OOB @ 98% too, but #2 took FOREVER to charge to green... touch screen on this one is supersensitive as well... now to check for dead pixels, hot pixels, and chipped screen...
Getting tired of going to B&N, and their CS wasn't exactly wonderful as they were going to try telling me that #1's cable/USB port were fine and dandy until I made him check that the LED wasn't coming on & that the demo unit inserted more readily and further into the socket, just like #2 did which I checked right at the register but didn't linger to check for dead pixels, etc. as I was holding up the checkout line(@ 9a?!).
I went to look at one a few weeks ago too at that same store, and the woman at the Nook kiosk wasn't very interested selling. (She'd rather continue reading her NC than trying to sell one.)
#2 also came upside down in the box, i.e. the tab on the protective plastic to pull out the NC was at the end that doesn't open...
B&N needs some serious QA/CS/sales training... esp. with their crap return policy... well 13d to shake down and see if anything else falls off...

Modify Clockwork to allow charging while off?

So I just found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12513699#post12513699
and a modified version for my HTC Aria phone. It works great!
Is there any chance a dev here can modify CWM for eMMC to work in this way?

Pretty sure the Nook doesn't need any HTC hacks to charge while off.

isn't it an issue with the cm7 builds not being able to go into deep sleep (or having that option turned of or something?) cuz it causes problems with wifi?
i thought the not turning off if plugged in issue was related to this

Not sure if you were trying to be a smart-ass or not, but obviously my Nook isn't made by HTC, however if I plug it in while it's turned off, guess what, it turns on.
I believe it's a Clockwork "hack", not an HTC specific hack, but I could be wrong.

My HTC Aria is running CM7 and this hack worked perfectly for it.

That is because it is actually supposed to turn on when you plug it in. You should have it plugged in and then shut off to have it charge while off. No need for a HTC clockwork mod, as the problem was only with HTC devices.

I know you can turn it off after it starts charging, but it's not supposed to turn on, as you say, the stock Nook doesn't.

Yes it does. Plugging in any nook while off turns it on.

Really? Guess I missed that in the day or so that I had an unmodified Nook.
Still would like to hear from a dev whether or not the system could be modified to not fully boot when connected. It seem illogical to me to have a device as power-hungry as the Nook boot up when you want to charge it, which will slow down the charging process.

Day of stock? Pft 10 minutes.
But yes, it does seem completely bass-ackwards to have it do that.

Isn't this driven by the whole USB then microSD then EMMC boat loader? It makes sense to me that the device be turned on when plugging in USB if your first boot device is USB.

Ahhh... didn't realize that the Nook had USB booting, that would probably kill this. I thought it was just SD, then eMMC. Bummer.

It's not wifi it's the touchscreen and other parts go too far into sleep and will never recover. This has nothing to do with charging or recovery.

It's a hack implemented by Clockwork to replicate the same behavior that the stock HTC recovery does on your phones.
Before this hack was in place plugging in your HTC Aria while off would force it to boot into recovery with no real reason. This modification just boots into a "off-mode charging" screen which was implemented using the recovery ramdisk and kernel but a different userspace program.
The Nook doesn't need this as it's implemented in hardware quite well.
1) The nook will turn on automatically.
2) There is not enough power the bootloader will display a screen needing more of a charge
3) It seems, based on my testing, that the nook will continue to charge even when the device is full turned off.
So in conclusionL I am glad it worked for you on your HTC Aria, but this hack is for specific HTC phones and does not apply to the nook color.

From the B&N Nook Color User Guide:
To charge your NOOKcolor from a wall outlet, do this:
1. Assemble the power adapter and microUSB cable. Insert the large end of the USB cable into the matching receptacle on the power adapter.
2. Plug the NOOKcolor end of the USB cable into your NOOKcolor.
3. Plug the power adapter into a compatible electrical outlet. If your NOOKcolor was turned off, it will now turn itself on.
NOTE: Depending on how much power remains in the battery, it might take around 3-4 hours to fully recharge
your NOOKcolor. Do not turn of your NOOKcolor while it is charging.
NOTE: Once your NOOKcolor has enough power to turn on, you can see how much power remains in the
battery by checking the battery charge indicator in the right corner of the Status Bar. You may need to
drag the green NOOK symbol to the right across your screen to unlock your NOOKcolor and display
the Status Bar, which runs along the bottom of the screen.
4. Once your NOOKcolor has fully charged, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet. Unplug the USB
cable from your NOOKcolor.

Seems like there is a design reason for that.

What? You can boot off USB too? I didn't even know that!

sorry, i was totally off i guess, thanks for the clarifications guys.
I've powered my NC off after i've plugged it in and have come back to an already booted device.
This is not once or twice, it's pretty much all the time.
Maybe i just have a weird device? I DID buy it off craigslist used... but i've had no issues at all as far as user functionality goes in the month or so i've had it.

I knew that, but was trying to avoid that step.
Thanks for all the info guys, I still think since the Nook does charge after powering off, it would be nice if someone could find a way to skip that whole boot/power-down process so I can just plug it in and walk away.

Are you running the stock ROM? Mine did the same thing until I installed a different ROM. HC and CM7 both stay off when charging after I have powered them down.

I've been running CM7 nightly builds off emmc mostly, if not the tablet tweak ones before they were integrated.
Not something I consider an issue for me, but I've yet to do any complete wipe since I first flashed CM7. I might try phiremod over the weekend unless the fascinate forum blows up with new stuff (our 2.2 source code finally dropped today), in which case I'll do a complete wipe and see if the problem persists.
EDIT: Yes, i'm running with the latest OC kernel
EDIT 2: Ok... I didn't notice before, but I guess I have a sort of faulty usb? not sure but it flickers from time to time, like on and off. I've never really paid attention to it while it charges, but i just noticed that the light on the N went off and came back on a few seconds later and confirmed that it flickers from time to time on its own. So on the bright side i guess i don't have hardware with an anomaly, too bad I have a charging cable with a mind of its own

Are you running one of Dalingrin's Overclock Kernels? I'm guessing not, since that would be the only other difference.

I've been plugging it in and then powering it off to charge. Now I find out that the guide specifically states to not turn off your NOOKcolor while it is charging.
Will charging while it's powered off screw up the battery calibration?
edit: one thing I've noticed is that if charging powered off, the usb light never turns green when it becomes fully charged.

Nexus7 is turning itself off during overnight charge

I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue.
I've charged my Nexus7 overnight on three occasions. Plugging it in before I went to bed (~1AMish) and getting it on my way to work (~8:30AMish). Out of those three times, on two of them, when I went to get my tablet the unit was powered off. I know for a fact that when I plugged it in, it was on, and no one touched it in the meantime.
The most recent occasion was this morning.
On all three occasions, the unit still had 40-50% battery life left.
On two other occasions, I've charged it during the day for a few hours, and it was fine.
Additionally, I've never had the unit turn itself off overnight when it wasn't plugged in. And I'm using the charger/cable that came with it.
Lastly, the first occasion was on the stock kernel/rom, and the second was on the motley kernel (but stock ROM).
So it seems like something is causing the unit to power itself off if it's on the charger for too long. This is concerning, because the only thing I can think of is that it's overheating and shutting down as a protection mechanism.
Any thoughts or ideas?

Plugged mine in for the first time last night at 11:30. Slept till 8, hit the power button and everything was fine.
Basically, no issues here.

Was it fully charged when you switched it back on? I ask because I shut mine down for the overnight charge last night (plugged into a laptop, not the wall - there's only one socket near the bed and my battery-sucking phone gets that juice), and when I woke up it had only gone from ~30% battery to 55%.

I had this happen to me on the first unit I had... I was actually using stickmount to transfer some data and left the usb adapter plugged in for about an hour and when I picked it back up it was DEAD.... I could not get it to boot up at all until I did the recovery (power/volume) method and then everything was fine but I returned it anyways cause of a defective screen... I am now on my 3rd unit from Sam's Club and I think I might have a keeper...? (Knock on wood) :fingers-crossed:

Yes, it was at 100%.
Keep in mind that charging via computer's USB port takes much longer. Maybe your laptop went into sleep mode and shut down power to the USB port?

Nope, my fiance's phone was plugged into the same laptop and it was fully charged in the morning. And as a general rule, I've never known the computer to automatically sleep while on AC power, even when the screen is closed.

Thank god i'm not the only one experiencing this. My nexus 7 always seems to turn off after I leave it overnight plugged in for charging. I thought it was a kernel issue but i've switched kernels and i still experience it. Still unsure as to what is causing it.

Same here. Its odd it only seems to be for an extended period of time. Also my battery was indeed fully charged. Should I exchange at Sam's?

There is nothing else wrong with the tablet. I have a feeling it could be some sort of hardcoded feature where if it notices that you're plugged into the wall charger with 100% battery and the tablet is in deep sleep for a certain period of time, it automatically shuts down.

Well, I feel a little better that I'm not the only one with this "problem".
The question is, is this a "problem" or a "feature". I guess we won't know unless we ask Google/Asus (good luck getting that answer) or enough people respond saying that it happens to them too. But if people start saying it does not happen to them, it makes it more likely to be a problem....

This happens to my phone due to overheating. The tablet does run hot when charging. See if there's a temperature logging app and run it overnight.

It would be nice if it would just cut off the battery charge and run directly on A/C. But I guess I would rather have it power off than explode.

isnt bad to charge it overnight like i believe from 1% to 100% chrge is like almost 3hrs fully chrged.. i just alarm myself for 3hrs to check if its fully chrged already then unplug it

True, it's not good to constantly charge the battery once it's full.
Most devices however have a built in charger kill switch once it reaches that point. Laptops for example will switch to A/C power and only start recharging the battery once the level drops to ~95%. I believe my phone does this as well (SGS2).
I guess I'm OK with it turning itself off, assuming that it really is a safety feature. My main concern was something was wrong. It would have been nice if they mentioned this in the 100pg Nexus Guide eBook though .

I want to add my own observation -- mine was almost fully charged, I plugged it to my computer's USB, turned the screen off, walked away. A couple hours later, the Nexus 7 was turned off. But I was shocked to find that, pressing the power button couldn't turn it on. The first thought came into my mind was that my computer did not charge the Nexus 7 and the battery ended up completely drained. So, I plugged it to the wall charger, left it on for a day. 1 day later, I tried to turn it on again. No, it didn't work. I was panic and decided to Google about how to reset and checked if I could wipe it and sent it back for a replacement. I found that pressing the power, vol up/down button at the same time can force a reboot. I tried that and bingo, it booted into the bootloader. Before I wiped, I decided to try to boot back to the Android OS. Surprisingly, that worked. I was happy and decided to ignore this incident. Then, today, it happened again. This time, I immediately used the power + vol up/down trick to reboot, and that booted me right back into Jelly Bean. I checked the battery status and it's fully charged, which meant my computer was charging it all along. For some reasons, the Nexus 7 would just turn off itself. And, in my case, pressing the power button alone would not reboot it.

Sounds like to me that it's hard locking, not "powering off", and you're forcing a reboot. Long-press of the Power button should do the same thing.

I can't say I have much to offer in regards to this issue, but am I correct with my observation that everybody experiencing this issue has experienced it while their N7 was plugged into a computer of some sort for an extended period of time? Has anybody had this happen when plugged straight into the wall outlet?

Here's another update with an interesting 'twist' since my last post.
I've charged it twice in the meantime. Once was, again, overnight, and I woke up to find it powered off. A simple "on" press brought it back on.
However, on Saturday, I used it heavily and was down to about 40%, so I plugged it in around 11AM. I meant to grab it around 3PM when I went out, but forgot about it. Got home late, and went to look at it at about 11PM (12 hours later). It was charged to 100%, running off the A/C power, and still on.
This is weird, because if I leave it plugged in "overnight" for 8 hours, it will almost always turn off sometime before I grab it. But when left plugged in during the day for 12 hours, it stayed on. I wonder if it handled the situation different based on the time of the day???

[Q] HD+ doesn't charge when turned off?

Just bought an HD+ and it only seems to charge if it is turned on, is that right? After plugging in the charger while turned off, it doesn't get hot and the charging light doesn't come on.That seems a little strange.

You are absolutely right. This device not charging when powered off. Seems it designed this way. This is one blot on Nook HD+.

You don't really need to charge with the device off though

Hmm, for me this very strange opinion.
I have 12 items (HD+) on work for customers. Every evening we place these to charge. Why then these items must be working for charging.
Actually i charge my own SG Tab 10.1 all time on OFF situation. Mobile items (tabs, e-readers and etc) have constructed work without some overhanging wire.

Back on topic, am I to assume that everybody else who owns an HD+ has observed the same behaviour? That it doesn't charge while turned off?

This has been true for all the Nooks. If it is off when you first plug it in, it should turn on. Then don't turn it off or it won't charge.

[Answered][Q] AHHHH! I used the wrong wall adapter now my Nook won't charge up!!!!!

I have a rooted Nook HD with cm11 using nightlies (I forget which one. I think it's 2/1/2014). So, I lost my Nook HD wall adapter and started using a different one. This one had the exact same output specs, except it had .7A instead of 1A. Then it started to not acknowledge that it was plugged in and charging. I usually leave it plugged in overnight, so I found an old Nook HD adapter (I had replaced it a few times) with loose hinges on the two prongs. It was at 95% at night, then at 12% the next morning. Later, I was out somewhere and it said the battery was at 1%. I didn't really think much of this because the green (100% charged) charger light was on whenever I plugged it in, and it has said it was at 1% before, and when I plugged it in it usually fixed it and it would display the correct battery percentage. Well, this time it didn't. I guess I had forgot about the incident the last night. I assumed it was at 100% and it would just run down normally until it died even though is said 1%, but then it died quickly. I plugged it in where I was, but I had to go so all I saw a green light on the charging light, but then I had to unplug it. When I plugged it in later at the house it showed green, orange, then turned off. I left it overnight, and plugged it in this morning and it still did the same thing. I left it that way. I just tried plugging it into the computer because I've heard that some devices use different hardware to charge via just USB, but no luck. I plugged it back into the wall. What should I do?
P.S. Before root, and when I first got it (used), I tried charging it when it was off, and it didn't charge. I never tried again. Is this normal, and could it have somehow contributed to the issue?

OK, I know that it had said I posted the above at 4:00pm. I didn't. Can someone please respond?

Not sure what to think about this and guess no one else as well.
I assume with providing less power the electronics can compensate. Obviously, brown outs (for instance) are bad over a period of time but not as quickly as this.
More power is probably much worse.
Just don't think the charger broke the device. If you find the bn wall plug and it still didn't charge then it physically broke probably coincidence or not.
Addition: Assuming you use a smart phone why not use that wall plug? That's all I use. The bn plug is in the box.

Got a new cord and it works! It was on sale for 50% off as well. Guess I broke the cord by usinng the wrong adapter. Anyway the specs are actually something like 5.1V 2A, and the one I used was 5V .7A. Ouch. Thanks anyways!
