Razer Phone cycles between not charging and charging when at 100%

[Renton577]

So I have a Razer Phone and I have this issue when it's plugged in through the night it will periodically make the charging sound like it was unplugged and then plugged back in but only for a second. The phone stays at 100% and works fine in the morning. I just wanted to see if this was a software bug or at least make sure it's not causing damage. It's running Android 8.1.

I am with 8.1 too Nokia 7 plus, and I have kinda the same symptoms. 
I guess it's Android fault rather than the hardware itself, sometimes when It's plugged in reaches 100% and after some hours that I left it with the charging cable inside it shows 98%.
There should not be any problem with your hardware, I hope it will be fixed with the Android 9.

Either that or maybe your charging cable wiggles ?

Your charger may be defective, trickle charging isnt supposed to make the phone go beep when it reaches 100%

And it doesn't always when it hits 100% it may only happen every 30-40 min maybe when it's staying at 100%. Basically it doesn't happen right when it hits 100%

I know that some iPhone 6s had this problem, in some extreme scenarios they would refuse to charge or charge very slowly. It was traced down to a lithium charging chip inside the phone called a Tristar. This would manifest if users used cheap counterfeit or some car chargers instead of the original charger.

 

Now i dont know much about Razer phones, but my guess would be either the charger going bad or the battery.

I would have to say charger then, the phone isn't even a month old and the battery when off the charger works fine. I'll try plugging it into my laptop to change when I get home. I do know it quick charges as well.
