At first I thought it was my imagination but it really isn't. I just had my rooted NC showing a battery reading of 84% with Gauge Battery widget, when I plugged it into my computer the gauge jumps to 100% within one minute. The thing is when I remove it from the USB it still reads as if it had been fully charged and discharges at a normal rate.
Any body else experience this or have a possible explanation.
OH BTW: A big thanks to everyone on this board, you guys are great.
I have all sorts of charging issues. I think its my cable. The other day I used my husband's galaxy S cable to charge since mine wasn't working and it got to 86% or so then stopped. Then I unplugged it and it said 100% . It doesn't seem to refresh correctly.

I wanted to quickly transfer something from my laptop to my new Droid Turbo, so I quickly grabbed a USB cable thinking it was my Droid Turbo's cable. I had accidentally grabbed my 2012 Asus Nexus 7 cable instead. I plugged it into a USB 3.0 port on my laptop and after transferring some things for two minutes I noticed my battery was at 100%. I thought this was strange as my battery had only a few minutes ago been 87%. That's when I realized I was using the Asus cable.
Should I be concerned? I usually almost religiously never mix chargers.
Edit: I have just discovered that the cable is damaged and partially pulling out from the USB end.. could this have anything to do with it?
I had the same issue, connected my phone to a USB 3.0 port to backup some date and was shocked at how fast it supposedly charged up to 100%. I used a 3 y/o cable from an old Galaxy S3.
USB 3.0 has nearly double the power output of USB 2.0. So that could have something to do with it. Using a different cable or slightly torn one won't make a difference. The battery percentages also aren't the most accurate all the time. Your battery should be fine.

A USB 3 cable going to a standard USB 2 micro port? No voltage difference.
---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------
When using a standard USB cable the port does not matter.
I do think the calibration of the battery is off. I've had it go from 93 percent to fully charged on my qi charger just a minute ago, and yesterday twice, once on the turbo charger and an usb port on my laptop. I fully drained the battery the first day, Friday, and I think either it's still learning or the calibration is off. It seems to show it draining quickly the first sixty percent, then really slow down the last forty. Now I don't like letting the battery drain too low, decreases the battery life and capacity, hopefully it learns or next update clears this up.
This also happened to me on a usb3 port, but with the original cable. I jumped from 88% to 100% in about 5 seconds. This can't be right. Has to be a bug.
I don't think this is related to faulty chargers/cables. I had the same thing happen to me yesterday using my car charger for the first time (that I've used on 10+ other devices without issue) and the phone shot up to 100% in a few minutes. Ever since I used that charger all my other chargers that were previously working fine (turbo, qi, etc.), are charging the phone too quickly as well. I hope someone can figure out a fix for this, or an update comes out soon. I just wiped my device and set it up again, I'll report back if it's fixed.
I had this issue, I killed the battery thinking it would fix the issue when It charged, It did not. I factory reset and that also did not fix the problem. phone would show as 100% charged even when really only 3% charged. I ended up getting a replacement from VZW store.
Update - replacement phone from VZW is doing the same thing, only charger that I have used is a TYLT qi compliant wireless charger. (shows 100% for 6hrs)
Also are you guys on system version 21.21.12 or did you take the update?
Same issue here. Started today. Had since release. Exclusively use Tylt Vu charger. Have latest update. On Dalvik.

Mostly same here. Used the Tylt Vu exclusively, then used the Turbo charger once or twice. Phone was stuck at 100% for twelve hours yesterday, dropped to 93% after reboot. It appears confused as to what it should really be at. Seems that the Tylt Vu is the common thread here.
Fixed mine! after holding the power button for about 20 seconds the phone will shut off, I then charged the phone with the Turbo charger overnight which reclibrated the battery meter. This has not happened again since doing this.
Hope this helps!

This also solved the problem for me, thank you!! (I had also plugged into a usb3.0 port before this issue occured, hope they address this with a patch or some kind of fix).
I'm also having strange battery problems the past few days. The other day, randomly around 4pm I happened to notice my battery said 97%...just not possible since it had been off charger since 6am.. Yesterday, battery showed 35% and then died 2 mins later, powered off. Tried the power button for 20 and charged overnight, but on my qi charger I woke up to it only partially charged and not charging anymore. took off and put back on charging pad and it charged some more until morning. It seems the battery isn't calibrated and not showing the correct readings...anybody else? (oh, and it's a samsung charging pad)

unplug it from everything, hold power button till it shuts off, it will then show an accurate % reading. Plug into the turbo charger that came with it and walk away for an hour. Should re-calibrate and get you back to normal (assuming the issue you're having is the same as ours). this worked for me. good luck!

Sorry, needs to be plugged into turbo charger, I told you out of order, my bad.
plug into turbo charger, hold power till it cycles on it's own (you'll see the real %), leave plugged in and walk away for an hour.
Solved all of my problems, good luck!
(seems like this is caused by plugging into usb3.0 ports, and possibly some qi chargers. I use an lg qi charger overnight and have not had the issue. It happened to me when I plugged it into a usb3.0 port on a laptop).
great! this worked for me! thanks!
Well for me I've had this bug since day 1 and none of the fixes are permanent -- there's a bug in the software on Moto's side that needs to be dealt with. I posted a thread on Moto's support forum in hopes of raising the profile of this issue cause it's a showstopper for people like me who rely 100% on Qi.

Hi all,
I've had this same issue and I'm not sure when this happened, but I certainly noticed it immediately after using Qi charger for the first time.
Can we confirm if anyone on this thread had this issue by using a wired charging device, or whether this issue is synonymous with Qi charging?

it happened to me after being plugged into a usb 3.0 port, I use a qi charger (LG) every night without issue.
I've had my N6 for about two weeks now, and lately I've noticed it doesnt charge once I plug it in, I'll go to sleep and a few hours later its still at the same percentage, I check the battery stats page and it shows "Not Charging" I unplug it for a few seconds and the Charging icon sticks as like the phone thinks its still "charging". Another issue I've noticed just now today, it says itll take 4 hours to charge from 56%! Only way for me to fix these issues it is to restart the phone and itll work, mind you this issue only happens sometimes. Although I will say I plugged my LG G2 into the Turbo Charger, so IDK if that affects the charger in any way?
Does anyone else experience this? If this is something no one has I'm planning to swap the device out for another one.
Running SinLess ROM v1.0.3
what charger are you using for your n6? and where are you plugging into? wall or usb?

This may seem obvious but try a different cable. I had a cable that, when plugged in, my phone would say is charging but doesn't actually charge.
I've had my nexus 6 for a couple weeks now and the first time this happened I was using a wireless charge so I thought I didn't have it placed on the mat right. But it happened again last night whilst plugged into an AC charger. The AC charger is an LG charger from a previous Nexus. When I look at the battery graph it just flat lines for the whole time it was plugged in.

My turbo charger is doing the same thing the OP said. We have 2 6's and it also happened to my wife's the other day too. I thought it might have initially been a cable too so I changed that out and it happened to the second charging cable last night as well.
Just experienced this
I use the turbo charger also and just experienced this. I was at 25 % after playing injustice (which just murders this battery) and plugged in the USB and I looked back 5 minutes later at I was at 22 %. So I killed Injustice and waited about 5 minutes more and I was at 19%. I had to reboot to get charging and after 5 minutes of charging I was at 29% so it is weird stuff.
I've been noticing this as well, but my charger is an aftermarket charger by Tenergy (Amazon link), and I'm using an aftermarket cable. Missed my alarm this morning because the phone must have not actually been charging, even though the N6 always shows that it is charging. I haven't tested it thoroughly with the stock charger as I keep that next to my workstation, but it seems that others are having this issue even with the included charger. Frustrating, to say the least.
Same thing with my N6 on 5.1. I would say that 20% of the time i plug in it shows charging but doesn't charge, just maintains the battery at whatever percentage it was when i plugged it in.
I don't have to restart but rather just unplug and re plug in the charger, then monitor for a couple of minutes to make sure the battery is going up and if so it will charge normally.
I also have tried a few different chargers including the quick charger that came with the phone. same result.
the same. here
I have the same issue while charging n6 with Motorola terboxharger ... But it takes 3 h while charging with any other chargers .....any updates !!!

Wow, same here.... only just started to notice it. Using turbo charger as well...however upon using a normal charger, it seems to always charge. it it something with the turbo charger?
Yea it seems to be turbo charger problem , but how come I bought it just one month ago !!
I started noticing the same issue recently. I'd say it started after upgrading to 5.1. I'm using the stock turbo charger. I found a workaround that, so far, fixes it for me (3 nights in a row at least).
After plugging in the phone, I notice the battery icon shows it is charging. If I actually go into the battery settings though, it says it is NOT charging. If I unplug the charging cable and plug it back in while still in the battery settings page (you know, with the usage graph), then it starts charging just fine up until I get a full charge. As long as I do this each time, I seem to get a full charge. Annoying, yes. But not as annoying as waking up to à phone that never charged.
Sometimes it won't charge when it's not plugged in either
For my N6 to charge, I need to push the TC USB cable a little downwards for my phone to charge. Sometimes, it doesn't even charge at all. I'm considering to RMA this, if I can do it here in Norway.
my nexus 6 has different behaviours, if I charge it when it is turned on sometimes it stops the charging and I need to disconnect and reconnect the cable and charging starts again, so i need to be careful because i can't be sure that my phone will charge completely if i leave it alone. if I charge it when it is turned off sometimes it starts to restart continuously showing battery in the screen again and again, without charging. hopefully this happens sometimes, i dont really like this bug, i spent so much money for buying it and i dont want to control if my phone is charging or not when I plugged it, i just want to put in charging and coming bac when it is flly charged.
RMA it
I hope the first thing anybody does is check the charging port and make sure there's nothing in there. Take a strong, sharp toothpick and carefully dig anything out that shouldn't be there. Pocket fuzz etc...
I am having this same issue, my phone is brand new yesterday, running 5.0, I have these exact issues, seems to be only with the turbo charger because I use a slow charger for overnight next to my bed and the battery was full. But I can't seem to make the percentage actually go up with the turbo charger without restarting the phone first.
Any more info on this very annoying bug??
can't seem to figure it out
i have the same issue - my N6 is a couple of months old and it started on an overnight (not) charge. Now it's happening 1 in 2 charges so it's getting worse. I cleaned the connection, tried different cables, USB chargers and plugging into the laptop - no dice. It's going back to Google - annoying...
phone says 100% but says 80% when off charging
Tried:-
1. 2 different battery callibration apps
2. charging 100%, depleting battery. repeated process a couple of times
3. Switched to Stock (Rooted), 2 Custom ROMs (Waited till it was 100% on both on and off before flashing)
Notes:-
1. Battery seems perfectly fine (takes a while before depleting and doesnt deplete before 0%)
Currently using stock rooted
l would start with replacing the cable and charger to make sure you are getting a full charge. Then monitor the usage time on your phone over a few weeks and see if the time to empty is getting less that is a sure sign of a bad battery
Recheck with another fast charger. Generally, we cannot say if is a faulty cable or you have an faulty adapter. I hope the device chargeboard is not shot/motherboard driven related issue. Also, have you recovered the device using Samsung Kies- Emergency firmware recovery?

With original charger it takes 6hrs!!! Holy ****
I think its a usb port problem for sure.. Do one thing while connected to the charger go to device maintenance and open battery menu and see if it say charging via AC or USB if while us8ng the original charger it shows Chaging via USB then certainly its the port that has gone faulty..

Hello everyone! Though its not the right place to ask the question but I have been seeking solution to my problem from months. Long time before, my Galaxy Note II started to behave differently. Whenever I charged it completely, the phone worked normally till 75% to 80% and all of sudden a =low battery warning indication appears and phone proceeds to shut down. I tried changing ROM and calibrating the battery again but nothing worked. Finally I replaced the battery with a new one and also clean flashed another ROM in a hope to see if the problem is gone or still there. But to my surprise the problem is still intact. Now, when I turn on the phone the battery is 90% and when I keep using it, it drains normally, but as soon it reaches round about 80%, it turns off randomly. When I turn the phone back on the battery is still at the same percentage level at which is turns off. I believe there is not an issue with the battery. Please help me what to do, I am using TWRP recovery that doesn't gives the battery stats wipe option too. Should I flash a new ROM again? I would greatly appreciate if someone please helps me in sorting this problem.
What I have already done!
1. Replaced the battery
2. Changed the ROM
3. Re-calibrated the battery

I have noticed the same issue, I think. I suspect it is a general bug.
Guys, try charging your phone while in Android. When it reads 100%, switch off your device. Either leave the charge cable attached or reattach it after you have switched off. Now wait for the off-line charging icon to appear. Unless I'm mistaken, the percentage won't correspond with whatever your phone reports while your in Android. If Android says 100%, this will be a lower number. And off-line charging will keep on charging until you reach 100%.

Sorry for the late response. Internet finished, had to wait until the renewal date. During this time, i wiped the rom and re-installed it (Khongloi V11). Since there was no internet, i didnt sign in any accounts, Switched off the location. The phone surprisingly took 3 days before reaching 0.
Indeed, it says USB Charging 6hrs. I sometimes keep plugging and unplugging, it changes to A/C 2hrs.
I have this problem too. But I change batt_capacity_max to 1000, phone on 100% phone off 100%. If we recharge to full it will return to the same state (phone on 100, phone off ~80) so i need to change again. I don't know if this destroy my battery life ? I don't know why. I thought I'm the only 1 who have this problem? (sorry for my bad english)
I think this may be a software/firmware problem, not a problem with the battery.

I figured that was the problem but i tried it with three different roms (Khongloi V11, Final, Stock).
Maybe it's some kind of battery protection thing created when your battery is old or something?

The various ROMs may all use the same battery raportage code, which doesn't account for this discrepancy. After all, most ROMs are just fancy reskins of stock Android.
That said, maybe Samsung support can shed some light on what's going on.
On a side note? Is there anyone who reads this thread, whose reported battery charge (in percentages) is the same in Android as when the device is switched off and charging?
So... any solutions?
Has anyone else notice problems charging yet?
When charging using the supplied adapter, the battery percentage stops increasing at some point. 46% or 67% etc it just stays stuck even though the charging symbol remains.
The phone stays hot like it is charging, but it still says '46% 1 hour remaining to fully charge etc'. If you leave it for an hour, it stays at 46%. If you unplug and restart the phone, it will be at 100%.
I hope this is a software bug? It seems others are impacted too. google support link below.

Mine is working fine
Same error, but on 92%. I didn't restart the phone, and after 5 hours without charger battery level went down normally.

Surely that just sounds like a software issue or glitch. It's not stopped charging, it's just not updated correctly?

yes it appears that way. hopefully.
Hi ! Mine is stuck at 100% after charging at night. I use the google pixel stand. After rebooting battery falls down rapidly to the correct amount but it gets stuck everytime I charge it back fully with the stand. I'll need to try with wire charging though to see if the issue is the same.
No such issue with my Pixel 5 Sorta Sage here in Australia. Sounds like a software glitch though. Had mine for 3 days now and it's been going really well. I'm also not seeing this "gap" issue that others have mentioned either.
After my pixel shutted down at 1% battery (24 hours standby and 7.5 hours of screen)
I put it to charge and turned it on and left it charging.
I came back later. And the phone was at 1% level still charging. With battery saver enabled
I restarted and the phone was already at 100%
What the hell is going on.
I used my Pixel 4 charger instead of Pixel 5 but they look like the same charger with type C power delivery

Mine has this issue too - same with different adapters, but doesn't happen every time with the same adapter. When plugging in it will go up a couple of % over a few minutes, then gets stuck - it might go up another percent randomly here and there, but not at the "actual" rate that it's charging.
Restarting seems to force it to update to the correct charge percentage, but not to carry on increasing at the correct rate. Tempted by a factory reset!

Mine got stuck at 69% for over 12 hours, i had to do a factory reset for sending the phone back anyway and it was still at 69% after the factory reset. So i don't think factory reset will do any good. Probably a software bug they need to fix.
I've also just seen this, the charge indicator got stuck at 47%, when reconnected the charging cable, the charge indicator quickly got up to around 80% and then carried on at a normal pace.
Same here. Stuck at 44%, then 88%, then 100%, then 96%. Some people were suggesting that it's a bug related to the far-right icons in the customization of the launcher. Don't know if that's true but defenitely will give it a try
There is some update in Pixel forums. According to it, will be fixed in a future software update.
