Hi Everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick!)
So this morning I plugged my phone in around 7AM PST, and when I woke up around 9AM PST the phone had gone from 48% to 53%.
Is my phone messed up? Or has anyone else reported difficulty with the phone charging while it's on?

I think that's real slow. I've never had my phone go that slow for charging. It will usually do 10% in like 40 minutes or so

Are you running any major tasks off your phone (tethering would be one) or charging off your pc? Also, check battery usage, since it hasn't hit 100% yet it should tell you what's been using battery overnight.

Best advice I could give you is to make sure that your charging your phone from a wall socket, I know a lot of times I tend to use my USB when I'm in the office or sitting at my computer to lazy to get up and go plug it in. As others had mentioned in this thread its always a good idea to make sure you kill any task not being utilized by the phone. If you still have the issue I would restore the phone to factory defaults and re-install all social media applications etc. If your still having issues at that point I would assume that its the charger? Troubleshoot the issue a little more and get back to me if you can't figure it out. You might also be having a hardware issue? But you would have to troubleshoot the issue a bit more. Best guess though being applications I would imagine that Restore To Factory is going to work out for you. Be sure to back everything up.
When my phone had a wakelock, I had it plugged in to a wall charger, and it took forever to charge. Fixed the wakelock issue and it's fine. It wasn't as slow as what you experienced, but it wasn't significantly better either.
make sure you are using a 2A charger. some people use other chargers and they are usually 1amp or lower. I had my old galaxy nexus charger and released that even that was just a 1A.

Not sure, what did you have running, what apps/widgets do you have installed?
I found if I left WiFi enabled and plugged it in to charge, the phone was really warm the next morning and did not charge at all. So now I make sure it and GPS are off and then charge over night with no issues or over heating.
Can anyone tell me why it is not possible to charge the phone with it turned off? As soon as I plug it back in to charge it turns on again, plugged in to the computer or to the wall outlet. I have never had a phone that acted that way before.
Hi guys nothin was running in terms on apps widgets or wifi or anything. I did have wifi running for bout half hour as i was browsing. But i turned it off. I was on the fone however but this had made no difference in the past 5 months

hey guys not a noob but feel like one right now bc i have to ask this.
anyways i have a vibrant running nero 5 w/voodoo. my charger port is iffy at best. i ordered a new usb port off ebay and will be installing it once it arrives.
now the phone charges fine off, however i noticed that when im on it while plugged in charging its loosing percentage. i just finished charging it and turned the phone back on and kept it plugged in to top off the last 4 percent it had to go to 100. and when i check in settings it says 88% about 5 mins later it said 86%
any ideas?
i also did a search and didnt really find anything
I've had this issue since day 1. I've had my vibrant for almost a year now and it's never changed. It's happened on stock and all roms I've used. It seems to happen more when I'm using memory heavy apps or games. I used to play pocket legends and I once drained my battery (while plugged in) so much that I went from %100 down so low my phone died. The charger never lost connection either.
I've also had this happen while streaming tv shows to my phone & using tv out while charging.
Happens to me sometimes. I figured it was a badly calibrated battery. I calibrated my battery and it doesn't happen that much. Oh, and I've learned to not really use my phone when it's charging. Lol.
yea i bought a new battery yesterday. let it die then charged it. drained it and had probs. i wiped the stats and its off charging now sitting at about 92 percent. see how it goes

I've gone through it with the stock battery and my 3000mAz
Are you overclocked at all? Maybe set a charging profile with setcpu to lower clock and/or undervolt if you have a compatible kernel? Not sure, just throwing out ideas... Good luck, hope you get it figured out.
[SOLVED]
issue has been solved. thanks everyone
How did you solve it
it could be an app using the cpu at all times
turned the phone off and let it charge all night and that was about 3 days ago and its back to normal now. it was deff a bettery issue as i have 3 batterys and 2 extended ones and my other batteries would charge just fine. but all good to go now. thanks.
I have had my White AT&T Note for about a week. It is running Saurom RCV with the HoloNote kernel OCed to 1782mHz. I am having a really weird battery issue where it will drain to about 5% in a couple of hours regardless of what I am doing to it, then that 5% will last the rest of the day but the phone, thinking the battery is about to die, wont let me do anything (ie. listen to music or take a picture). Then, yesterday it started not charging all the way, it will stop at about 94% and then the notification that its fully charged will come up. No matter what I do it will not go past 94%. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
have you try to recalibrate your battery stats through CWM?
try that first........charge your battery to full......clear stats....drain all the battery...then recharge to full......that should help you with ur problem
First take the battery out and make sure you don't see anything on the contacts (phone or battery). Then leave the phone on until it dies on its own - easiest if you use something that will keep the screen on. Then charge overnight, unplug, replug and let it charge again until it stops. Turn it on, go through your day and report back.
I have tired both of your suggestions. I left it streaming a movie from Netflix and it took two movies at full brightness (or as full as it would let me) to kill off the last 5%. I apologize as I should have specified that I am posting on here having already tried conventional calibration techniques. Also, the stopping at 94% only started AFTER I used CWM to reset the battery stats.

Does not do anything.

I've never used CWM. Have you tried using it again?
I have noticed another "quirk", it seems that when my phone is sleeping for a long period of time, more than an hour, it will usually display more percentage than when I set it down. For instance I decided not to charge it last night as I was hoping it would die in the night however when I got up this morning it read 51% whereas it was at 26% when I left it. I am starting to think that there is something wrong with the hardware. Opinions?

I didn't nitice this till last Tuesday. I forgot to charge my note the night before, and when I woke up I had 19% left. Around 10am I received a notification that my battery is critically low. I wasn't going home till 12, and I was texting heavily for 2 hours through whatsapp on 4g network, and nothing, the phone didn't turn off. I got home and plugged it in while it was still on. The only thing the phone did was turn down the brightness completely, im not sure if that 's the reason for the extra 2 hours, but that seems too much. Before i plugged in the phone it had 23 hours on battery with 4 hours 44 mins screen on time.

Has anybody experienced any of these issues on a stock note? Also, I tend to agree, if Samsung had really figured out a way to make the end of the battery last that long we probably wouldn't be having this issue.

I exchanged my Note for a replacement at the store and that has made a world of difference. It would seem that my suspensions about my hardware were correct. If you are having the same issues I recommend a replacement.
Thanks!
I installed CleamRom 4.3 yesterday and everything seemed to be working great minus when I put the phone on the charger and went to bed.
I woke up to a dead phone and I have no idea why. Anyways, I get in the car and charge my phone on my way to work and it gets to maybe 15%. I take it into work and plug it in USB and check the phone to see it is almost dying. I got a pop-up message about the phone is currently using to much current for the charger.
It went from 100% to 0% in less than 30 minutes while plugged into the wall.
So I pulled up the battery usage and this is what I see:
postimage.org/image/wlovbac23
If anyone has any ideas how to fix this please let me know cause I have no idea what is causing this.

Did this problem start with this rom or did it have issues prior to it?

It just started with the rom. It has shut off before at night while charging though but the battery was not dead.
How it is even possible the battery went from 100% to 0 in like 15 minutes?
It's not reporting right or a bad battery. The phone would overhead before draining that much power.

Try charging it to full with the phone off, then boot into recovery and clear the battery stats.

I'll give that a shot once it gets done charging which is going to take forever at work.
Also make sure you are running amon ra recovery....cwm has issues if your phone battery dies....
Sent from my Rezound
Are you using the HTC charger, or something else? A lot of chargers will only put out half the current the HTC charger puts out, and the Rezound draws a lot. I have several chargers, and my phone runs at a discharge on more than one if the screen and/or radios are on. If I set the phone to stay awake when on power, on some chargers it would deplete the battery overnight.
All chargers have a 5v output specification. IIRC the HTC charger is 1000mah. A lot of devices that work on early USB specs will only output 500mah or less. Check your chargers.
For the past day and a half I've noticed my battery hasn't been charging proeprly. It charges very incrementally, and ends up staying around 54% at the most. Before wed night the battery was fine and I was charging sucessfully. But I noticed wed night it was going very slow. I've never had this problem before for since I bought this phone back in Dec 2011.
When I charge overnight, it will charge from the 40s to the 50s in about 6 hours of charging time.
I am stock ICS and using a 3rd party USB cable with the original USB wall connector. I haven't noticed any problems with the 3rd party cable.
I spoke with a Verizon rep and they are sending another battery to me. I'm wondering if you all have any other solutions?
If you have Amon Ra installed, you could try wiping battery stats in recovery.
Original battery? It's possible it's just worn out now. It happens.
I don't have amon ra installed, could I install it since I'm stock and wipe the stats?
Yeah its the original battery.
What's odd is that the battery finally charged past the 50s percentage wise and I let it get to 80%. It went from 80% to 76% in a little over 40 min of use (mainly using the internet browser on 4g LTE).
Could the battery just be messing up cuz its old and used up for the past 1.5 years or so?
Have you been restoring a backup or recently fresh flashed a rom?

I've done neither. For the past two says I've noticed the battery charging to 100% again, though once it took a little longer to get past 53-54%.. I don't know what's going on lol
Try this trick, when it gets stuck at a certain percentage, just reboot your phone. It will/should bring you up to the correct percentage.

I had to get a new battery after about a year because I ran mine down so darn much.
I tried that, but it didn't help with getting the battery charging again. However, the battery has been charging at times the past two days. Sometimes it won't charge, but then it does. What I tried doing was I unplugged a shaver that was charging from the surge protector and plugged it into another surge protector and soon after, my phone was charging overnight.
I don't know how else to explain it, but it seems that this issue is random. Maybe the battery is having issues and it's randomly charging or not allowing it to charge itself.
