Is a long gap between 100% and fully charged a sign a battery is on the way out?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini since about Jan 2013. I just noticed when it's on a charge there (USB from the laptop) that it's been at 100% for quite a while but I haven't yet got the battery full message and the battery full icon.

    Is this a sign that the battery is starting to show it's age?

    Are you sure it didn't flash up and you missed it? It doesn't mean anything either way

    No, the display lights up and says that it's fully charged and that happens a few minutes after it reaches 100%.

    Apparently not. Maybe it's a rounding thing like 99.5% is shown as 100% but it needs to topup the final 0.5% ???

    I dont think so a few of my Samsungs did that.

    Its much faster to charge from a socket.
