[Q] NC/CM7.20 battery goes to 100% instantly when plugged into computer

[mr72]

Anyone know what the solution is to this problem?

When I plug in my NC to my computer using a standard micro-USB cable, whatever state the battery is in, it instantly indicates 100%.

For example, right now it is plugged into the computer and the battery was at abou 73%/3900mV when I plugged it in, and it instantly indicated 100% (still 3900mV).

The only solution I find is to just let it sit and charge for hours until it's back to 4200mV and then reset the battery stats using BatteryCalibration app.

Why is it doing this? Can I stop it?

Thanks!

I recently updated to encore 253 and have noticed the same thing. I don't remember this occuring with 177. From what I gather there probably won't be anymore CM7 updates as all resources are now being devoted to CM9.

Well I am not running the nightlies. This has happened with two builds, the 1/13 build I am running now and the 12/13 build (or whatever the mid-Dec build was) it happened a couple of weeks ago.

Strange.

I had a similar problem with a broken cable. Do you have another micro-usb cable that you can try to see if it's the stock cable? New cable fixed my issue.

It's happened with two different cables. Possible they are both bad. One is the one I use with my phone all the time, it's never done this with my phone.
