7130e - battery only charging to 95%
 

All - my 7130e is now only charging to 95% (verified under Options, Status), even after charging overnight. Anyone else experiencing this?

mine does the same thing

What happens if you fully turn the unit off and charge it and turn off your auto on/off feature.

I've had this happen...sometimes mine would only charge to 75-80% even after charging all night. A reboot (battery removal) would change the display to say 95%. Then after a little more charging it would go to 100%. I finally got a new battery and all seems to be working fine now. I use a 7100t with the extended battery and replaced it with another extended battery.

I don't use the auto on/off. And I've charged it both ways - fully shut off and while it's still on. Funny thing is, I got it up to 100% today, but within a few minutes, it was back down to 95%.

I don't know what's going on here.

Do you have any applications running in the background, applications that are constantly accessing data can eat your battery life, such as BBToday, BBWeather ( i set mine to update very very infrequently, if i need it immediately then i ask it to update on the spot). Having the bluetooth radio on all the time also eat up battery life. If you are on a fringe area with your phone and you are switching from EVDO to 1X to 1x also eat up your battery.

This is gonna sound weird, but no, I do not run any apps, nor do I use e-mail or Internet (I have the National Block from Verizon activated). I bought this phone purely as a phone/pda...so my phone does not communicate with any external sites, including Verizon. So obviously that does not eat up battery power.

I leave BT on all the time.

But I don't think any of that has to do with whether or not the phone charges to 100%, or 95% in my case.
