Not sure about other countries and rules associated with shipping from out of country.

I recently received a larger order from HLJ and had to pay HST (sales tax) on the value of the goods. This usually isn't a problem because hobby items aren't charged brokerage.

Edit: A supporting graph: http://i.imgur.com/fFl3Vfa.png. What I had the most time to grab.

Specs:

  • 32 GB Nexus 5
  • Unlocked Bootloader
  • Rooted
  • Stock ROM
  • Xposed installed
  • Updated to 4.4.4 2 days ago (when I noticed this happen)

Xposed modules:

  • Gravity Box
  • Greenify
  • Overflow Mod
  • Wakelock Terminator
  • Xprivacy
  • Xposed GEL Settings

So the phone doesn't want to charge overnight. I thought something happened to the charger so I tried:

  • Same charger, different outlet - 4 hours to charge (usually 2)
  • Same charger, different outlet, different USB cable - (4 hours to charge)
  • Different charger, different outlet - (4 hours to charge)

So I got fed up and made breakfast with it
