Just noticed a charging bug

I'm not sure if this is the phone or the charger,maybe someone knows..

If the phone has been on charge and it gets to 100% it stops charging. If you use it whilst still plugged in the battery drains but still shows as 100% you then after a time unplug it and the % shoots down to say 90.

So what I do now is unplug and plug back in so it charges again

Not a bug as far as I know. Virtually all phones will start to slightly discharge once they're fully charged even if plugged in.

Isn't that a flaw then? It doesn't recharge when it should as its plugged in and less than 100%

well this explains why my phone discharges 2-4% from the time i unplug it from the charger when i wake up to the minute it takes me to walk to the couch every morning. i have no clue what background apps are running while I'm asleep that's using up so much juice.

The percentage battery indicator is not exactly accurate. Sometimes, I see the battery go down to 70% while I'm using it. Then I stop using it and put it in airplane mode. I may check it later and find that the battery goes up to 72% even though I didn't plug it in.
