Hello everybody,

to begin with i must say that my phone's battery used to take 2 to 3 hours max to charge from wall charger but now since i flashed the ROM and it has been acting so weird when charging. I have monitored the charging time and found that
after 1hr the battery goes to 50 %
after 3 hrs its up to 70%
after 5 hrs its up to 89%
then after being on charge for 6 hrs its fully charged !!!

p.s the battery lasts the normal time it used to.

so what's going wrong here?

your help is much appreciated!

The only suggestion I have now is to double check if it's really because of the rom?

Try using another rom for a day or so and see if it also takes you that long to recharge. Don't restore apps or anything yet either! (could be an app causing it, however that's unlikely) Mine only takes long to charge if I'm using too much stuff while charging it.

It is normal. Charge voltage is lowered when reaching 70% (or 80%, you can check it at battery stats) and then even lower when almost full until it is really 100%, not to harm the battery pack. Your previous cycles only semmed faster, the more you use your phone the better your battery stats will be.
If you wiped battery stats before, it could be another reason for strange figures.
Most importantly, if you want to have a good battery life on the long run, dont fully discharge/charge it.
