I have read alot about people complaining about the AMBER LED being still on despite the full charge for even over a night!
I don't know if anyone tried this but I did and it worked. Keep the device on while charging -disable the power management- and sure you will have the AMBER for few hours til it reaches 100% when you shall get the GREEN LED. In my case I use a special screen saver that slide-show a set of pix during the recharge period.
The question now is; would the screen get damaged after sometime having it on for periods like 8hrs? I mean does it lose brightness or quality after a while?
Pls advise.
Personally I use spb pocket plus which clearly displays the charge % on screen so I don't even look at the colour of the light.
:wink:
opposite problem
this is crazy but i get the oppositie thing. My main battery is supposed to be 100% charged so it's supposed to be charging the backup batter. What it does after a while is switching on from the orange light to the green light - although it hasn't finished charging. Once I disconnet the cable and connect it again then it become orange again and probably starts to charge for once again? what's wrong with it?

Ok, I recently picked up a used Jasjar (decent price deal) and would make a good backup to my 9000 (when it's screen is fixed).
The owner changed the case on it from the I-mate grey one to a black O2 Xda Exec case.
In the process the owner missed a few things that I have been correcting along the way to bring the unit back to full functionality.
I have nearly everything working except the ChargeStatus/Notification LED.
Notifications are coming up RED flashes (like if i set notifications for voicemail).
Charging is Red, and never turns green even after the battery hits 100%.
The charge works fine and the battery thus charged has lasted about as long as it used to in my Qtek. I figured to try my battery to rule out a bad battery and so I would have a comparable runtime analysis.
Synchronization and all other features appear to be working. Just this frakking LED. Heck, even the notifications in and charging in Red (instead of orange) doesn't bother me to much, just it not turning green when done bothers me. I've charged 3 different batteries (2 known working in 9000 (heck even turn green if I connect my screenless 9000)(heven't tried the one that came with the phone yet).
The Network/Wifi/Bluetooth LED appears to be working correctly with Green and Blue, etc.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that I have tried different flashes including the same full release I was running on my Qtek 9000 without any change to the functioning of the LED.
Does anyone know what the error would be like if the little battery on the main-board was bad? i.e. would it then never list as completely charged and thus even after the main battery reached 100% never go green since the on-board battery was dead?
Really trying to figure this out as it is ticking me off to no end and I am worried that in it's current state where it stays in "charging" mode even after the battery hits 100% that it will do damage over time to the battery itself.
Any help/thoughts/suggestions/pointers/ideas/etc appreciated.
I cant turn on my device, the only thing that seems to work is the led, when I turn it on starts on green then orange and finalley red, Does anyone know what happened?
Does it work at all when plugged in to the mains power? Does teh charge led light up to display what is going on? Do you have another device/a multimeter that you can check the battery with. it could be that the battery has died / needs a long charge / doesn't want to work. Hopefully that is what it is, as if not, it could be something a lot more severe.

Hi guys!
I know, that there are some threads about the topic, but i think, here it is a bit different...i´ll describe:
Everything was OK with my withe G1, since I forgot to recharge the battery, and the G1 switched off. I wanted to recharge it, but - you know- the red led light blinked...i read different threads etc, and then I decided, to buy a new battery. The new battery arrived yesterday, and I put it in my G1, tried to switch it on, and it worked. I was quite happy! I taped it on the charging unit, and the first problem: the battery display didnt moved, it remained at 23%, also after a few hours at the charging unit. I knew the problem, because it was the same with my old battery, but it doesnt interest me, because the battery recharged, only the battery indicator showed that not. I thought OK, dont thinked about it, and waited. Today: I took my G1, yes, battery display at 23%, no problem. I switched it off and after a few hours I wanted to switch it on. Second problem - F**K! The red led light blinked...and now, the battery doesnt recharge at all. The G1 works now only, if the charging unit is put on it, if I remove it, the G1 switchs off. Its the same behavior with the old battery.
I dont know what to do now, because i dont think, that it is a hardwarebug, because yesterday it worked, with the brandnew battery. Or is it possible, that the G1 destroys my batterys while switching it off?
I hope, that there are solutions for this...because im loosing my temper slowly...
Can you charge the battery if the phone is off? Red led light should show. You should wait even 30-60 minutes for this - it depends of battery discharge. If the red light will not show this will means that your hardware is broken (phone or phone charger). You can try use another phone charger to test.
That works sometimes....at the moment not, but one hour before, yes.
I had the G1 with the USB cable on the PC, the phone was off, the light was red (not blinking). I waited about 50minutes, then disconnected, tried to switch it on - nothing except a red led light - blinking
At the moment, there isnt any led light, if i connect the phone to the charger unit or the PC...
It looks like hardware problem :/
Would be OK, because there is still warranty.
But what irritates me, is, that it worked without problems, when the battery was charged. Also with the new battery...worked good, since I switched the phone off.
I only want to be sure, because the return merchandise authorization (rma) takes quite long time...
I have the same problem. last week i bought the phone, and used it till the phone battery was empty. I tried to recharge the phone, but i wouldn't go on, only the red light blinking. I had the phone charged for 2 days, with the og charger, no result. Looked like the phone was dead.
Today i tried it again, still no result. All of a sudden the phone turned on and was charging. It is now on 99%.
Should i contact HTC?
edit:
sorry, wrong forum
Just a wild guess. It could also be the ROM that you have. I had a similar problem with my battery drained out like that with flashing red light. Come to find out later that it was something to do with the ROM (CM6.x) that I was using.
I just got the Huawei IDEOS X5. Once the battery ran low, I plugged it to the charger. The problem is that the Led Status Indicator (above the screen on the front of the phone) doesn't become orange (it is green). According to the instructions this Led should be orange while the charge is in progress, and become green once the phone is fully charged. This behavior does not follow the info described in the manual of the phone.
Has anyone had the same problem? Do you know why this is happening? Should I return the phone back to the seller?
Thanks

Led burns green, when the battery is above 90% or so. Under that should be orange. Sometimes when you plug in the charger, it takes time even to start charging (Led is green then). I'd say try to observe more
I thought the same when I first start charging my device, but when the device was fully charged I realized that the led(which seems to me green) wasn't.
The orange color of the led it's not so orange(like was on other devices) but is more close to green(again the green on other devices). On ideos the the green led it's not so light and yellowish, it's more deep like trees green.
And what sanpsa says happens also after 90%
Thank you guys. You were 100% right both!
Dunno, whether it depends of soft or not, but when battery below 15% (or 10%) LED should be red. For mine device it's so.
