Hi All, I just bought a new K750i phone a week back and noticed that my phone does not charge fully.
However long I keep it on the charger it keeps showing the charging icon and never stops, if at this moment I check the battery charge %, it shows 75% charge.
The moment I unplug the charger I see the phone information charge indicator go to 95%.
If I connect my charger back, the battery charge indicator slow comes down back to 75% and the phone keeps charging. I kept it on the charger for couple of hours but still it displays the charging icon.

If you are using the usb lead to charge then it is normal to not reach 100% charge. If you are using the mains lead then something is wrong. A firmware update should sort it.

i have the same battery problem. firmware was R1N upgraded to R1AA. i charge it overnight and still doesn't charge more than 95% to 97%.

i'm guessing it's probably a defective battery. best to get it replaced at a service center.

It's not a bug, it's a problem.
I am waiting for SE to change my phone or whatever.

A problem, a problem that cannot be fixed with a firmware upgrade? Or one that can?

I have the same problems with my battery. Now does this affect the performance of the phone (e.g. battery time) or just the display of it?

I have the mentioned charging problem with my K750i. Eventhough charging overnight, the max result I can achieve the next morning is 93% at most.

Lately, I've tried removing the battery, and charged it overnight using an external charger. When inserted to the phone, it does shows 100% (1st time since I've bought the phone)

So now, is it a phone hardware, or battery problem?
