I think I found a charging bug, please try yours and report back

When I leave the phone charging all night and the ring is still "breathing" in the morning. Even though the battery shows 100%, the LED ring continues to breathe and the device stays warm.

What applications do you have installed, if any?

Mine used to turn solid white when it's done, but not anymore. I installed VistaHideBattery and No2Chem's power cpl, as well as a battery icon plug-in. I may try uninstalling one at a time to see if things change.

Another interesting observation: If I charge via a PC's USB, the ring stays solid when it's complete charging. I usually have "charge via USB" turned off.

Edit: This is what I just discovered:

If you go to Settings/System/Power, and check "When device is turned on, do not charge when plugged into PC", then the phone will keep charging even when full (via wall charger). If you uncheck that box (default setting), the phone will stop charging when full (via wall charger).

Conversely, if that box is checked, the phone keeps charging endlessly when using a wall charger.

Please try yours and report back.

Thanks.
