hi guys,
this really is one of those "first world problems", but it is bothering me indeed..
I noticed that the "charging" led only comes on when the phone is plugged in but turned off.
I'd like for it to always be on while charging, whether turned on or off, and ideally for it to change color once charge has reached 100%.
Tried Light Flow, but doesn't seem to work.. any ideas?
I'm using lightflow and its working fine for me. It flashes orange while charging and green when it reaches 100%. It only flashes phone screen is locked though.
My charging LED does not come on at all when plugged in.....
For the record, when mine is powered off and plugged in I get the Battery display with a cool liquid filled battery as well as a notification light.
its a motorola thing. When ur device is on and charging the led light won't be on. Its the same on the xoom. Unless until some dev makes a custom kernel

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
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.
Sorry, but I don't know what mean a green or orange led on my NT cable.. Someone can explain?
I noticed that on boot it change color for some second to green..
Orange is when it's charging.
It turns green when it's fully charged.

For my NT, the led is green even during charging. It is charging properly I think, just don't see orange any more. Symptom began only recently.
sometimes my cable led flickers between orange and green colored lights, wondering if its defect in the cable... probably just a loose cable

If it happens while plugged in to the computer, the charge rate with screen on will slightly drain it, whereas (i think) with plugged in and screen off it slowly charges it.
mini info widiget did it!

It has something to do with the mini info widget, which has a battery monitor widget within it. A while ago, I installed mini info widget following this video,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdHI...xt=C3edf5c9UDOEgsToPDskJjgUlwFr5DaNxUjqt-3vV5
did not like it at first. Removed it. That was when my cable LED started going green even during charging. Today, I reinstalled the mini info widiget, what you know, the LED acts normal again (orange during charging, green indicates fully charged battery).
weird, i havn't noticed a green color
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.

Coming from an LG G5, I see no charging indicator light when I charge the phone. The phone does charge, but there is no red or green light visible. Nothing at all. Whether the phone is on or off and charging, I don't see a phone charging indicator light. Is this normal or is the phone charging indicator light on my unit broken?
There's no notification LED, the notification just goes on the always on screen

Thank you for the answer. That's good to know it's not broken. I still think it would have been nice for LG to include an Red/Green LED for charging status. Far easier to see.
