Status bar: battery symbol appears charging when not plugged in

[trmoney24]

I've have a weird issue for the past week. I installed AOKP Build 36 about a month ago when it first came out. I also installed AXIOM on top of that with Franco nightly Kernal. Had no issues up until last week.

Now when I take my phone off my charger, it still says it is charging. Sometimes it will stay Green the whole time, other times it will flip back and forth saying its charging and not charging. This is killing my battery since the screen turns on when you plug or unplug a charger to a phone. If I pull the battery and restart the phone, the issue goes away until i connect to a charger again. Doesn't matter if it is a wall or USB charger.
I wiped my battery stats and even swapped batteries with another Verizon Samsung Nexus, issue still happens on my phone.

So should I try installing a new rom or put back the factory ROM and see if it happens there? I don't think its the battery. So its either the OS or some hardware malfunction.

Just sounds like a weird bug. Really the best thing to do would be a full wipe and install a ROM fresh, in this case I'd go with AOKP b38 standard (not the testing Linaro build). Skip the axi0m stuff. Just wipe and flash the ROM, gapps, and reboot. Should be fine.

Thanks 2def! You actually recommended the Axiom stuff. You don't think it adds anything extra over AOKP B38?

Lol yeah.. idk. The speed tweaks are debatable, the beats audio is hit or miss, the bravia photo engine stuff is, IMO, hard to even notice, so... for simplicity's sake its easier to just forgo it.

Just to the Linaro packages . Time to whet the crackflashing appetite!

Re: Status bar: battery symbol appears charging when not plugged

do any of you guys use the power saving feature? specifically the one that can shut off 4g when the screen is off for a certain amount of time? I use that and found that all my incoming calls will drop initially because the radio is flipped from 3G to 4G. I hope they fixed that. Else I can post to AOKP's forum so they are notified about it. I know it's an experimental feature at the moment anyhow.

EDIT: found it on rootzwiki: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25632-sc...-call-hang-up/?&hl=+phone++call++power++saver

I have the same issue with the extended battery.
Verizon replaced the battery and the problem is now gone.

I had this same exact issue a few weeks ago. Short version of the story is that Verizon sent me a replacement.

Long version:
So I had just started using AOKP and figured that I could try to do some work on the kernel with Franco. To this day, I don't know if my issue with charging not charging is related to my settings on Franco or the folks at Ghost Armor fubared my Nexus, but I believe it was my doing. I had changed the CPU voltage settings to try to optimize performance... The folks at Ghost Armor were re-applying the shield, but they left the phone on and off course there is some liquid involved when applying the adhesive. Anyways, I charge my phone in my car and all of a sudden it started to do the charging dance. I tried reinstalling the rom, even flashed stock back. Also switched out batteries, the charging dance continued. That's when I flashed back stock and Verizon sent me a replacement.

My guess is that you should first try and swap batteries, if that doesn't work, you'll have to get a replacement to fix the issue. Before any of that though, flash stock.

Hope that helps.
