my nook tablet is now 100% fully charging. but it doesn't turn green.
it says "100% - Full" but the charger's light still orange (yellow maybe)
while it was charging, i had some problems so i tried to reboot it, do a factory reset,....
is this the reason? and for what i did while it was charging -> will it harm my battery?
can i unplug the charger now?
this is the 2nd time i charge, last time my brother unplugged it, i don't know was it green or not, but it probably was, because that was night, he was sleeping, the only way he knew it was full is the green light (i think)
i think i can unplug, next time i will leave it charge normally to see what happen?
From what I encountered, some cables don't turn green when the device is on because it constantly discharges (especially if you have wifi on, not sleeping, or brightness up) It's the same with my cable, sometimes it turns green and sometimes it doesn't, but overall I don't think it made a difference.
Plugging in your nook while factory reseting would not harm your batteries. I'm not sure if your problems you described in this thread is related to the ones in the other threads you created. I'm assuming so.
I don't think you should worry about the color. Mine is green all the time it is charging. When I first got it it was orange until full charge. Now I just turn on the screen and look at the battery widget.

I've noticed something weird while charging.
While my xda sits on the cradle with a full charge; a stable green light, all of the sudden it goes into charge mode again and the orange light flashes.
This also happens when the phone rang, and once I was tapping the screen, going thru some of the programs, it goes to blanking orange again.
Could it be like a trickle charge or something?
ThanX
Why does this do this?
I left it on charge over night last night, to my surprise - it hadn't charged...
I have read all over about this, but this is different...
I connected it again, and one blinking red light came up, not the triple you usually get if it's dead...
this is the only response, and is continuous.
it finally turned on, I checked the status after turning everything off and setting it to airplane mode. it was at 1%...
2 hours later it was still at 1%, and then after 10 minutes i checked and noticed it said 0%.. then died.
It's now still plugged in and is flashing one red light again.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Hi.
Have you taken the battery out?, if not do so for 10 seconds or more and pop it back in see what that does.
Happened to me once, no matter what I did it didn't charge do i took the phone to the service center, they messed with something on the upper side of the phone.. plugged it into the wall and booooooom ... started charging again..
When I asked him what he did, he told me " it just needs a little magic ! "

Have you tried a different battery?
I don't know if we can fix this problem but as other posts above have said that mobile shops could be able to fix it.
You could be able to send it to SE but if your phone has been rooted or debranded you void the warranty.
i had the same problem last night, the battery died and then when i plugged it in it came on to charge, and then off again. after that point just blinking red light.
i removed the battery for some time, plugged it back in, and left it on charge for a bit and it came on.
i think the problem is, that when it starts charging, it wants to turn the screen on, which takes more power than the charger can give. so it goes into a loop. and dies.
but leaving it on charge helps (it worked for me)
So I thought I'd calibrate my battery today... I completely drained it, powered it up like 10 times so it had no battery left. Then I took out the battery for one minute, inserted right back and plugged the phone to the wall charger. It has been charging for about 5 hours(I think more) and still the led hasn't turned green
When I touch the back of the phone it's warm so that means it's charging still... Is this normal when calibrating the battery or should I try starting it to check the battery condition and forget about calibrating? Thanks in advance.
edit: ok, I unplugged the charger cuz I have to go out... and the red led was still going... no wonder :/ So remove/reisnert battery, boot up android from nand. Battery 99% already I guess this calibration has pretty much failed right?
So no one knows anything about this? I tried to calibrate again last night... The red led again got stuck. What could be the cause of this? I reflashed radio recently so I don't think that's it.
Does anyone has any advice? I will try charging with power on, see if it will fully charge and if green led will turn on. And then again with power off without letting the battery be drained completely and see what happens. I hope nothing's wrong cuz I'd hate to have to return it
I also would like to know this.

Tried this aswell n the phone was on 99%. the voltage was also wrong when its 100% (4197, i beleive its ment to be around 42xx or 43xx). Tried deleting batterystat.bin from system but not sure i followed the right procedure after that (take bat out, charge, deplete, charge). a dedicated thread for this would be nice.
Did you try leaving the phone off and leaving it on charge until the LED changed to green. u may have to leave it over night. 15+ hours. Not sure if this works.
I tried it. The thing is the led wont turn green. When the phone is off and charging the led wont ever turn green and when I pull the cable out the red led doesn't turn off. It get stuck until I remove hte battery.
However when the phone is on and charging the led WILL turn green. I'm getting crazy over this. Can sb plz heeeeeelp?

You wont be able to do a calibration in NAND Android, which i'm guessing you are using, because i have the same problem.
The only way to properly charge the battery and get the green light is to wake up the device, plug the charger while the screen is on and leave it charging.
I got 50 hours +10% out of moderate use with one full charge - phone on, and i am happy. Same as WinMo ROM.
I haven't seen a solution for this one yet, but i hope someone is working on it.
oh, thanks so much for clearing this up. Yes I have nand android too. I'm not complaining about battery life, it's very good. I just did the battery calibration out of curiosity and bumped into this issue. Glad it's not hardware or battery related and I hope someone fixes it eventually.
I cleared my battery stats before downloading this rom. I charged the phone all the way full until the green light. I unpluged it, turned the phone off, and plugged it back in for a full bump-charge to calibrate the battery, but I noticed something different.
Rather than the orange light stay on for a while, it turned to green instantly when I plugged it in.
I repeated this process over and over and each time it turned to green instantly showing a full charge.
Is there something different about the kernel? Usually it takes awhile to do a bump charge.
Bump has never worked for me
Edit: Sorry I didn't read fully.
Hi,
Phone was on charging. After 10 - 20 minutes I checked my phone to read new email; phone is turned off and red light (charging indicator) is also turned off. I changed charger / battery and did all basic steps. But phone is not displaying any thing.
My phone (HTC Amaze) is not starting. I tried volume key down + power button. I changed battery for my mobile. Phone is not showing red color light for charging.
Kindly guide me how can I turn it on ? I have many important sms messages for my company in it.
Regards,
Mine did this when i didn't charge it for months. The way i revived mine was with a cheap chinese universal battery charger ($10). I left it overnight to charge and in the morning turned on my phone and after that it was fine.
Maybe coz i didn't charge my fone with the usb for a while, it did nothing when i tried to charge it but when i charged the battery externally, it was fine after that.
Try reformatting as well.
Someone might have a better solution, but anything is better than nothing.
Good luck.
