Metaphys: I've been having the similar issue, with my device not being able to charge past 90%. However, in my case, I'm quite sure it's simply due to my battery getting old, perhaps the same is happening to you. Try recharging from within the OF. Then, disconnect the player, go to Settings > Info, and scroll to the battery percentage indicator. If the OF only shows ~85%, perhaps your battery is no longer capable of charging to 100%.

If there is a charging bug, perhaps you can avoid it by charging from either the Rockbox bootloader or the OF.

Please note: the OF can be a bit slow in recalulating battery levels, so you might need to wait a few seconds to get an accurate readout. If you don't wait, the OF may show a better charge than you actually have (eg, saying you are 99% charged when you are only 80%).

silvertree:
I, too, have observed something over the past 2 months regarding charging levels.  I figured it was an aging battery.  Sometime after a full night of charging it was still only 60 percent.

Until last night.  I was awakened early for unrelated reasons and I used my player to distract my restlessness.  At that time the charge level was near 95% and as the morning progressed, while still plugged into the USB charger, the battery level continually dropped.

I speculate that for some reason once optimal charge is completed all charging ceases although the device stays powered on because it is connect to external power.  This could be why my device is at 60% by morning.

It's just an idea, but since I have owned the device, this is a somewhat new experience.

monoid:
Interesting observation.

Usually, I do charging in a way I plug Fuze+ in USB power adapter. Fuze goes on and starts play. I stop playback to reduce comsuption and let it be. Usually for not too long, few hours.

I recolect that it did happen several times, that after long overnight charging it was only 50-60% full. I thought, I did something wrong or that there was bad connection in USB connector or the power adapter is not fully OK. Something like that.

But what if the problém is, that Fuze+ charges to make battery as full as possible and than stops charging and goes on battery. If it is overnight charging, maybe 5-6 hours. And battery becomes partly discharged.

pamaury:
I see, it looks like a charging problem. I will investigate the problem, no need to report it again. Thanks/

metaphys:
Well after one complete cycle my battery charge again fully, so it might have been weakened by staying at 0 for long but I don't have a charging problem anymore
