Battery not charging properly..how to calibrate!??? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Mine takes about 3 hrs to fully charge which I don't understand if it's suppose to be a fast charge capable.

Mine takes 1 hr 30 mins to fully charge.
Do you really got the turbo charger?

Yeah. That's the real Turbo charger you got.
My device's temperature also increase while charging. And that's why I don't use my device that time.
But I don't know, why it's taking 3 hrs to completely charge your device.

BTW, I'm also kept turned off "Day Dream & Ambient Display".

I think the "turbo charger" is a piece of crap. My phone would get so hot and I could also see the screen sort of glitch while charging. So I switched to a 2 amp Sammy charger and I also use amazon kindle charger. Both work great and charge fast while keeping the phone at a good temp.

Try flashing back to stock

I had the same issue with one of the Nexus 6 phones. flashing back to complete stock didn't help. I tried everything possible and nothing helped. I called Motorola and they sent out a brand new phone in days. Unfortunately, i think this is the only solution for you.

Their is an app on the play store. They are battery calibration need root also. I use it whenever I flash new ROM, it works well.

I ran into the same issue where my phone would get extremely hot when charging. I fixed the issue by changing the kernel.

Which kernel are you using now?

I have since changed Kernels. I think I have tried most, if not all of them so far. The key is to try them out and find the one that works the best for your ROM.

First time battery charging woes

Hello all,
So i bought the phone about 3 days ago.
When i took it home, i used it until the battery was around 30% and then i charged it. I charged it until 70% or so and took the phone out with me.
I came home and it was around 42% and charged it to about 80% and then used it until 25% and left it charging overnight. When i woke up , it was 100%, My question is, will this pattern of mine affect the battery because I didn't fully charge it for the first time?
No,don't worry.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Not at all.
It best to keep these batteries between 20% and 80% anyway.
Phil
Charge the battery whenever you want and at any level,don't worry.

Super long charging time...

So I've been trying to charge this sucker for more than 6 hrs, and it's going up 1% like every half hour of charging, this can not be normal.
I was in the phone doing minor things while charging but that can't be this bad can it?
Anyone have feedback to improve the charge time??
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I was using the phone this morning while charging and in a little over an hour it had gone from 24% to 29%. So yeah, it's a slow charger
Sad to hear. I'm getting this phone next week. I was hoping it charged fast like my xperia ion, which takes 2 hours to charge
There must be something wrong with your charging port. Remove battery and sim card and then insert it back and try it should probably work or else please take it to HTC service center.

Am I the only one whose been getting good charging? I was down to 30%, charged it back to 100% in about 4 hrs? What is everyone using to charge? I used the given charger and wall outlet.
My charging time is decent too, charges from 15 to to 100 in 3.5-4 hours.

I do know the one has a bigger battery but to the point where it take 4hours to charge its kinda slow... And i wasnt posting stats just comparing...
And yeah as i said if you guys wanna make it little faster the nexus 7 charger should help

^^^+10000^^^^ why do these forums have a bunch of S3 owners talking about their S3's? I understand the occasional comaprison between what you're using and what you want but this is not the same.
It's simple. They like to troll. Anyway, back on topic, I think Anandtech mentioned that the qualcomm fast charge was disabled possibly due to fears of reducing the lifespan of the battery itself. Therefore= longer life, but slow recharge.
well mine took 2-3 hours from 5 to 100
Here it is after literally being on charge for about 10 hrs!
Wtf
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Count me in on the 5-100 in about 3hours group. Using the oem charger from an old EVO3D. Maybe you guys just got some duds. Try using different charger. Maybe you'll get lucky and its just the charger that's messed up and not the battery on the phone....
It has to be the charger that comes with the phone.... I charged mine from 10% to 100% in 3 hrs with a Gen andru .

Anyone else experiencing very slow charge times? I plugged in at 20% at midnight. Just woke up and it only charged to 87% in 7 hours.

Yep, mine been slow to charge as well. Admittedly though I just dirty flashed the update over my previous rom so I will do a fresh install see if that makes a difference.

Same here; I've noticed that battery life and recharging are a lot better.
Yeah, I noticed this last night. I plugged in about an hour before falling asleep, checked it a few minutes before knocking out and it barely moved 4%. Very concerning.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. I just updated to 4.3 ROM, firmware, radio, plugged the charger and went to sleep. After I woke up (9 hours) phone was at 87%. Let it another hour, still the same. Than rebooted and 100%. IDK maybe the new firmware messed smth? I'll try again later and report back

Mine has improved as well, actually. Before, it would take a very long time to charge fully. Especially that 99-100% gap. It would literally take 20+ minutes to go from 99 to 100. Made no sense. Battery charging and life seem to have been much improved since the update.
The one thing that hasn't changed as that as soon as it fully charges, I can still unplug it and plug it back immediately and see the battery percent drop. Usually goes from 100 back down to 96-99%. I have never once, since I've had the phone, had it stay at 100 after unplugging and replugging immediately. Weird.
Mine actually charges faster and I get better battery life. I would do a clean install. Running 4.3 stock with goodies.

Just checked my batter stats and it took roughly 7 hrs to go from 20-100%

Xperia Z3C Estimated Battery Time

I seem to be getting pretty average battery on my Z3C and the estimated battery life shows it. When I first got it it was showing an estimated 2 day life and now this shows as 5 hours average. My normal usage yesterday lasted me 5 hours of screen time and 15 hours total. Not sure if there's an app eating up my battery or if I have a defective unit.

It might be because you checked it at 99%. Going from 100 - 99% is usually quite fast. Could you post later results? Maybe around 40% or so?
Edit - I should have looked closer. Didn't realize you were charging the phone. Sorry, I got nothing for you then, other than to charge it a couple more times and test it out then. You probably did get yourself a dud battery.
It seems there was an app that was killing my battery. I wiped it and reinstalled the firmware and it seems to be getting much better battery now

What was the app? My usual battery life is around 5 hours SOT with around 17 hours total uptime between charges, which sounds like what you were having.
Google search is what was killing my battery. It was creating a wake lock due to locations so I had to turn it off

Gotcha. I went ahead and turned off the location reporting portion of Google Now, we'll see if I can achieve similar results When you say you reinstalled the firmware, do you mean you did a factory reset?
I could have done that but I actually used Sony's software to wipe and reinstall the software for it.

No I actually mean using the pc software to download and install the firmware which deleted all data on the device. It seems to be doing better. I got around 3 hours screen time and 12 hours use on half the battery

i get only 3 hours of SOT max and the real problem is that when the battery goes down to 15% it all of a sudden gives me prompt that battery is low and then in next 3 seconds it says battery is 1% and then mobile turns off and it does not even turn on again!!!
it has happened to me like 3 times now and just now i was replying to your comment on my phone and it happened. from 15% to literally no charge to even switch it on once! this is an serious issue, right?
