I've noticed that when the phone is on and the GPRS connection enabled the device doesnt charge itself FULLY (upto 100%) during THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG charging in the cradle - only till 94%. I have to take it from the cradle, close GPRS and put it again into the cradle. Only after such dances the charging proccess goes on and it takes about 10-15 minutes to receive 100%.
Is it a bug or a feature?
GPRS attaching should not consume any power ... but GPRS transmission consumes considerable amount of power .. maybe that's why you can't reach full battery if you leave MSN on for example
But it is in the cradle THE WHOLE NIGHT LONG. It have to be charged FULLY not depending of working any apps at all.
if you look at the xda2 when it's charging then you'll see that it's by no means charging all the time
it's only charging when the led is orange
when it feel that it's full then it start to blink green and use it's batt
then when it's batt % get lower then some lavel it starts to charge the batt again
when it's in the cradle it dont get power from the cradle
the cradle just charge the batt
so it cant charge the batt 100% and then get it's gsm and standby power from the cradle it have to get it from the batt
In other words, you wonna say, that 94% is the cut-off level for the proccessor to begin real charging battery proccess when going from 100% down?. And I hit this moment every time when I waking up in the morning?
i dont know
neither do i
try turning flight mode on then charge the phone. I sometimes get a 100% charge reading because of this
yes, of course. i know that. the question was - why?
we cant know for sure but maybe it's something to do with the batt measure have issues making a good measure at the same time as the batt is being used
i also have this problem in charging my xdaII. when i'm charging via the supplied power supply/charger, i'd only get 94% or sometimes 97% charge (even if it was charged the whole night, with the pda off but phone on). however, if i put in on the cradle (with the cradle connected to the usb port of my pc, but no power supply connected to the cradle), i'd get 100% charge after 10-15 minutes, the xda having it's pda and phone on all the time. what gives? :roll:

the first battery charge on the HD is supposed to be a 8 or 10 or 12 hour charge? or on its not necesary
also the time used to charge it to the pc via usb cable is same as if ud plug it in the electric socket?
how long dose it take for u to charge ur phone.....
mine had 4 lines out of 10 and after 3 hours of it beeing conected to my pc and not in use its still got 4 lines....
opinions seem to vary on how long for 1st charge - personally I left mine on (mains) overnight, but that's just because I've had mobiles since year dot, and you used to have to!
But charging via PC doesn't seem to work as well as from the mains charger - depends a lot on the PC and how much juice it kicks out, some are a lot better than others.
Modern phones/batteries do not need "overnight" charging. My Touch HD even came with a little note saying you don't need to charge for 16hrs/overnight. Just charge until it's full...
Better to charge with wall socket because not all USB ports provide enough current. Some can't charge through the USB port while some can.
I can charge through my notebook but it takes a lot longer than the wall socket.
thanks bouth of u for the fast anwsers....
When I set WiFi settings to max performance, my HTC HD will not charge at all, actually it will loose charge during night, display is off, just WiFi, GSM and GPS is active, connected to provided wall charger. Back side of phone is really hot, I measured over 54°C
Problems charging.
guys(and lady's) Just got my HD. been running it for some time to drain the battery, while on my laptop the battery starts charging. I wanted to drain the battery to give it a good charge afterwords so I turnd off the option of charging while unit is active( in batt. menu) but When I got to 5% batt.cap. an tried to charge the unit (batt. option enabled again) it doesn't charge. now my batt. is empty and can't get in the phone. while on power my battery charging led gives a couple of seconds of charge indication then it turns off.
Any suggestions or is my battery dead. (charging unit is oke, and when on power the HD does give sufficient power to the battery (measured with mulitmeter) thx guys edit - Als when on power green and amber lights blink.
Could that be that your battery is too hot ? There is some safety protection that prevent the batyery to charge when it is over a temperature level.
battery not charging properly
My touch hd not charge the battery more then 50% i change the battery but same as before.

Touch HD Battery Charging Problem
The rom i am using is Energy 3 Rom
and try to use both sources wall socket and pc usb both are same.
if i charge the battery on usb cradle and put the phone it shoes 100% but after some use of the phone the charging start again and never show's full even left it over night.
Best regards
Not sure what's going on there,but try draining the battery to almost empty each time and then turn your phone off before charging it. Do this a few times and see if it helps. Mine took about a month beforeit came good.
Dear samlives
Thanks for helping
I will try it
Best Regards
HTC Touch Battery Charging Problem
I got a solution its not 100% but for time being its working for me.
Long press the power button and put the device in sleep mode.
All Done now charging 80 to 90% quite better then before.
Thanks a lot
Xperia wont charge to 100% - gets stuck at 90 %
any ideas whats going on?
its been charging all night at 90% :S
are you charging via usb to pc, or usb to floor charger?
i hope battery not been extremely discharged before....
USB - but i've just done 2 restarts and 3 soft resets and its gone up to 100% now - really odd problem - lucjy its fixed - phew
if you can't get it to 100% charge while charging with the floor charger..
you might have already discharged it too greatly.
90% might be your new maximum, unless it's the phone's problem.
EDIT: Ah I see, that's good then! I usually charge it with the floor charger since it's faster than a pc-usb charge =]
Good news then~
If you have a laptop and you're trying to charge you're phone thru the USB port...you'll wait A LONG LONG time...
I only use the floor charger...
i think by doing a soft reset, you just recalibrated the battery settings. just a guess tho. sometimes battery charge, and indication gets out of sync and so you have to recalibrate them. as i said, dont know if this applies to the x1.
To recalibrate a battery you need to drain it to the last drop then charge it fully (i think preferably thru Wall charger) for several hours.. so the battery controller can detect which voltage range the battery is working on... normally i think when i charge thru usb it gives me power but i think it drops faster... than when on wall charger...
just don't drain it very often.. it makes your batt go bad... i read somewhere that once every three months is ok...
hi,
pls. i have problem with charge battery with usb.
Sometimes it Works and sometimes it stops working, led blink orange, green, orange, green and battery status is still on the same level.
I have always allowed charge with usb – in menu is it checked.
Strange is, that it charge till now (and battery status is about 20% better – during this led was only orange), and in this time its blink again and doesnt charge (30 min. still the same level and led blink orange-green). Because it sometimes works i think the cable is OK or?
thx for help
Any suggestions?
I have the same problem
The charging is stop to 66% and i have use the battery Debug tool and also measure the same....
Strange thing
USB ports are rated sat 500mAh nominal and if you have a number in use then the available current can drop below the level needed to charge the phone and then the circuits can suck out the power from your battery draining it further.
Charge from wall socket and then from USB but don't do it at lower levels as you will continue to get the problem.
The knock on effect is that you may have damaged your battery by the charging process you have been subjecting it to.
Put it on charge and keep it on for as long as possible and then whenever you can to keep it at max capacity for when needed for longer periods.
OK, first I admit, the battery is a POS. I usually have enough battery life to make it through a full day, but usually it will die in the evening before I go to bed and put it on charge.
Recently I got a message, "Charging current is not enough for device power consumption. Please connect your AC adapter." Strange thing, though, it WAS connected to my AC charger. I get the same message with both of my chargers.
Battery will not charge, but has just enough power to keep the phone running as long as there is charge already in the battery. So the battery is almost dead, I put it on the charger all night long, get up in the morning and take it off, and then it beeps extra low battery! and then dies shortly after.
The only way I can get it to work is to leave the phone powered off for a long period of time and charge it then. Doesn't always work though. works if I take out the battery and charge it all by itself on a USB phone battery charger.
Sounds like the problem is somewhere in the phone, not with the chargers. Why would both of them do the same thing?
Please help.
does it do the same thing when plugged in and charging via USB??
could be a bad battery...
from old phones i had previous to my magic it sometimes helped to clean the contacts on the battery and charging pins on the phone..
I'll check that...
BTW, if I am plugged into an AC adapter, is it supposed to stay on even if I remove the battery?
NOPE! same message. Been charging all day now and only shows just over half charge on the battery. Most of this is from the hour or so that I had the battery out and charging on its own.
Does using the AC charger charge the phone any quicker than using the USB charger?
I know I could try it, but Im trying to open as little of the packaging as possible in case I send the phone back.
I cant believe it takes SO long to charge and yet so little time to discharge
Should the phone be switched off when charging? It seems that if it is on, it drains the battery quicker than it charges??
Mine has been on charge since just after 9am and it is at 76%! I got to go to work in an hour
91 minutes ago I took the galaxy off charge . Dow
n to 81% battery. 30 minutes of that was travelling on my bike.
Ill be generous and say I spent 10 minutes browsing. That is some terrible battery life.
using AC adapter / mains power is always going to be faster than charging via usb because usb can only draw a certain amount of power... and no it does not matter if it is on or off when charging .. when battery is full it stops charging...
next... the battery life is fine. I get two days use with have HSPDA / wifi on 24/7 .. I listen to music for about 2 hours a day... email is getting pusher over as soon as possible...
Use advanced task killer.... and other memory 'cleaners' ...
and turn auto brightness off and set it to minimum when you can
