Every night, I plug my phone into my laptop to tether (can't seem to get bluetooth to work). Since upgrading to 4.2.1, my phone says it is plugged into USB & Charging but yet it is actually discharging. It seems that it is discharging slowly. I'm thinking that it is charging but not as fast as it is using the power.
Running completely stock, non-rooted, locked VZW GNex on recently updated 4.1.1.
This morning I noticed my battery showed that it was charging, had the lightning bolt on the battery, but was not plugged in.
We have all heard of battery saving techniques to get our phones to last the entire day, but my question is in regards to charging strategy...
More specifically, is there a 'best practice' for charging your battery?
Is it best to let it get down real low before putting it on the charger? If so, is it best to leave it on the charger until it fully charges?
Don't know what happens last night but now Battery is not charging not even through charger or USB cable, plus Windows is unable to recognise the device when USB is connected. It is showing 100 percent battery all the time(using GO Power Master) plus it shows common charging at regular intervals even when nothing is connected to phone. The only way to charge the phone is to charge it offline.
Not sure if anyone of you experienced this problem before.
It occurred to me that my charging from socket is so much slower than normal, thus I downloaded current widget to check the current that is charging, and it turns out that it is charging at USB speed, and in my Battery information in Settings, it is displayed as USB charging instead of AC charging.

First off, I should let you know that it was in the charging loop, where when plugged in even with the battery out, it would boot to the phone off battery charging screen. I got it to boot to Android Gingerbread 2.3.6, (standard Boost version), but would not recognise charging with plugged into the wall.
So I came to egypt to visit family about a week ago. My charger is 110v n here they use 220v..
Can someone who has a wireless charger check the battery temp for me? I would love to go wireless, but heat is really bad for Li-Ion batteries. And as we cannot change our batteries (at least not easily), I don't want to do anything that will shorten the battery's life. I'd like to compare the battery temp while charging via a wire to charging wirelessly.
