My G1 has been acting real funny lately. I can charge it fully to 100% and if I am on a phone call and it is uncharged it will just shut off even though I have plenty of battery left. It won't reboot either until I wait about 15 minutes and than it shows that I have like 45% left when I just had 100%. I even reverted back to stock and it is still turning off during calls. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try recailbrating your battery
Alright do I just let it die?
Have you taken the battery out to make sure its not bulging or anything? My phone was doing the same thing, turned out the battery was on its way out and had a big lump in the middle.

If you sit with your phone charging on a comp all night, with wifi tether on, playing WOW it will mess up your battery... Try not to overcharge your battery.. (leaving it plugged in for extended amounts of time) and try not to used crappy chargers... The charger in the work truck and my house cheapy barely charges my G1, But my OEM Magic charger does the job in half the time..
Where is the setting to make the nooks screen time out, and turn off while charging? Secondly does anybody have any idea why my tablet has been charging so slowly lately?

i think screen stay on while charging because "charging" is one of the possible SOD cause. That's why there is no options (and it's charging slowly because the screen is on..)
Ok thanks, I thought the sod problem was fixed.

Just press the lock button after you plug it in.

I normally do turn off the screen when I plug it in, but until just this morning the nook would die in my book bag due, to it waking up when the nook button was hit in my book bag. Thanks to somebodies help I rectified that problem this morning, but long story short I would charge it when I would go to bed, and it would be too dead to turn on when I plugged it on, so by the time it was ready to have the screen turned off, I would be asleep. Sorry for the long post.
Before I went to bed last night (11:40-ish), my nc was at 48% charge. This morning I woke up (7:30) and my nook was dead. About an hour later after charging it for a bit, I noticed my screen somehow turned back on and I hadn't even touched it. It seems the screen timeout is broken, or the option screen always on when plugged in is broken, because I double checked to make sure it was off. Btw I'm on Nightly 177
May just be my nc though.

It is not broken, nor is it your nook... this is common just like stock B&N ROM works.
If it is dead when you connect charger... when it gets around 15% it turns on... if it is not dead when you connect charger... it does not go into sleep... you have to manually turn off screen by short pressing power button.
Its availabe under Settings->Applications->Developement->Stay awake
but this never works for me here(unselect above option), my screen will never turn off automatically on CM7 while charging.
It does seem like the nook is charging much slower on CM7, even when the screen is off, I remember it charged fairly quickly on stock, but on CM7 it seems like it takes hours, I have left it charging over night, and it has not charged all the way before. I could be wrong though.

I have the same problem too. Is there a way to resolve it? The reason I'm asking is before I turn my device off and go to bed while leaving it to charge and when I wake up, the device is somehow turned on (I have come to realise that the NC turns on by itself at random while charging) and the screen never goes to sleep which causes my NC not to be recharged even after a whole night.
To actually turn the NC off when charging you have to attach charger... THEN hold the power button in until you get the power menu... select Power Off

Of course I did that. What I'm saying is that my NC still randomly boots up. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

Mine does that too (turning on while charging from powered off). It is telling you that it is now charged enough to operate. My solution was to not let it run down so far before you charge (below 15%). And don't turn it completely off. Plug it in and just turn the screen off. Then it charges the whole night without turning the screen back on.
I wonder if it would be possible to have the nook color shut back down if it loads into the os or recovery from a charger activation.
With mine as Long as the battery isn't dead when I plug it in, If I turn it off while its plugged in and not move it at all it stays off, but if I move it in any way it turns back on. Don't know why but movement fires it back up when plugged in.

Seems to be a bad connection....same thing happens wirh my nook also...I plug the cable in, put the nook on one of my floor shelves, turn it off, and leave it to charge overnight....then again ANY kind of movement while the cablle is plugged in to charge OR use usb storage makes it disconnect....maybe a bad cable, unfortunately I haven't found them in stores anywhere lately..

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.

Ikr. First time it happened to me I was like wtf? It might to stop the 2 amp charger from overcharging? My unit is fine, I think the sound is just right. I might get that squaretrade warranty though.

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???
I'm shocked this forum doesn't have that much activity. Lol but anyways.
I just got my pebble. And let it charge for about 30-45 mins right of box. 2 days later it died. Well when I put it on charger I can't turn it on. Is this normal?
Its been about 20 mins now.and still won't turn on. I just find it odd I can't turn screen on still.
Anyone know how long it takes this to fully charge. While messing around with it the past two days. I couldn't seem to find out how much battery life is left on watch. Lol I got it to display my phones battery life. But not pebble itself.
Any ideas?
The battery in the Pebble is a button cell and apparently it's not possible to get accurate readings of the current time left.
It does however notify in the menu screen when it is almost empty (maybe one day left) with an battery icon.
For me with heavy usage it lasts about 4-5 days until the low battery shows.
I haven't tried letting it use up all battery so i can't answer on how it looks when off and charging.
It might have hang or something like that? Try holding the middle button for more than 10 seconds to reboot it.

you should read up on their faq lol. they say two hours for a full charge, which should last anywhere from 4-7 days depending on usage.

Same here. Lasts around 7 days (could be longer, haven't let it run out yet), then just leave it to charge overnight (no idea how long that takes either)
But as someone else said, it's a hard type of battery to gauge life from
When I first got it, it wouldn't turn on. Ended up putting it on charge for a bit. Think I had to hold the buttons down for a short time before it came to life
Just hold any button to wake up...
After 1 hour of charge, i can play with it during one week...

Couple of quick questions on the battery for the Pebble, is it better to run it down and fully charge it again, or will I be fine just throwing it on charge every night when I'm sleeping? And if it only takes 2 hours to fully charge, will I be fine leaving it on charge all night?
Very fast to recharge and one week of use too.
FYI battery level explaination : http://help.getpebble.com/customer/portal/articles/996436-pebble-battery-life
if you cant turn it on it means the charger isnt connected well. I'm on firmware 2.0 and i can turn it on whiles charging
---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------
battery life should display on the upper right corner in the options menu if you are on the default watch face
For me, I can't charge it using an outlet, so maybe just change it straight from a computer USB
You can hold the left button and the upper and lower right buttons to reset it if it won't turn on. I have to do that sometimes when it runs completely dry. As for charging it, I remember reading that it wouldn't hurt it to charge before the battery completely dies. I don't think button batteries have memory.

Hello,
I own a 5 month old htc one m7. From past few days I have observed that the battery is draining unusually from 100%-85%.Today I observed that it came down to 88% from 100% in half an hour during which the phone was just in standby mode with no background apps running. Is this normal? Please suggest me what to do.

To add to the good advice the other people have stated you can try to better calibrate the percentage of your device by letting it run completely down to the point where your phone shuts off. While its off plug it in. Keep it off while its charging. Once its green turn the phone back on, still keeping it plugged in. The indicator will go green to red for a short time. Once your at 100% then you can unplug and use your phone. By running it down to zero and leaving it off and fully charging it you essentially are calibrating the device.
Currently its off, and if it drops to 90% or so within minutes theres a good chance it could do the opposite when it gets so 5% or less. It might sit there for an hour or so because the calibration is off.
