Did you try plugging it while standing upside down? Or shaking it? Think it's normal. My Evo3d only went to 97%

Haha I will try that if it works! Yesterday it charged until "charged" Your Evo3d probably charged until full also but by the time you unplugged it and got to look at it... its had already burned through 3% battery :P

IIRC once the battery is almost full it starts to cycle between charging and not. If you happen to unplug between cycles it will show anywhere between 97 and 99%. At least that was the case with the og epic.

My galaxy tab does the same thing. I wouldn't worry about it. My Evo does the same thing, then 10 min later it's down to 90%. I'm really looking forward to much improved battery life when my Epic touch arrives.

I can get my phone to say 100% when I use my extended battery wall charger. I charge the battery for about 15 hrs and then I get really good battery life. Which leaves me to believe something is happening inside the phone, or charging cable to stop the phone from being properly charged/fully charged. I can have my EVO off all night charging, cut my phone on and it says 90%. I mean WTF. So happy I ordered the Epic Touch.

I had an issue this morning when I took it off the charger and it said 99%, plugged it in and it stuck on "Charging (99%)" and the LED didn't come on. Restarting fixed it, we'll see if it comes back tomorrow morning!
