I think my phone is acting strange when I'm charging the battery. I always got the "flash"-thingy on the battery-icon when the charger is connected. But it never seems to finish. It always get stuck at the last pixel, jumping between fully charged and 1 pixel from charged. When I unplug the charger it says that I have like 95%+ and the battery meter indicates that the battery is fully charged. Is this something someone else have experienced? I still works but it's quite annoying 
btw, I turned it in for service for another reason and got a new battery, so it's not because of that. (I had the same probs with the first battery) |

it is typical for Litium batteries.
there are 2 ways of charging. fast charge and full charge.
example: it takes 90 minutes to charge a battery to 80%, but the remaining 20% another 90 minutes.
or it takes 120 minutes to charge to 90% but the remaining 10% takes another 120 minutes.
Some phones apply fast charge. Then at 80% or so, it says battery full, but it is then switching to full charging, but you can't see that.
Some just do a full charge and then it seems like charging forever and gets stuck at 95%.

no... it is in the product design and battery specs.

had the same problem with w8. i it went actually crazy, when i used the usb cable and so long it has charged the fone aswell, so after 5 mins the batt was full, even the batt meter had 4 bars left before... but at the "normal" charger it acted weird aswell.

That's interesting, I can't wait to check mine to see if it too has the same problem.

Since my memorycard stopped working I left it for service. Unfortunately I was a little vague on my charging probs, so I got my phone back with a new battery and memory card. But it still doesn't get fully charged, it doesn't matter if I use the usb or the ordinary charger. I think I'll turn it in again next week or so. |

Left mine at the service today (for the charging problem) and they said, i will take it back in a whole week due to holiday vacations and inventory procedures. Darn

Bad luck Alex. Mine does go to 100%... the last few % take much longer it seems. |
