For some reason it is slow to update or just not working right, If I charge the device the icon changes but if I take off charge the indicator at the top shows it is still charging. Soft restart corrects it only to the point it shows the correct icon with an exclamation mark in it like the battery is low. I am currently using the latest O2 rom.
Any help would be great as I really like VGA mode

i got a used mda compact II and in one night i managed to really screw it up.
it came without a battery so i got a pm16 battery which i hope is the right one.
the battery meter shows nothing for the battery and does not display the internal battery meter at all. even when on battery, it seems the plug icon is on, on the main screen.
i was playing with it and reset the screen corners too far out. now i cannot access the menu items in the far corners. i tried a reset and a hard reset and nothing changed. even the keys don't access the far corner items. when i hit start i get calendar. the 'x' in the far right corner doesn't work
just now when i played with it, the landscape mode was on. how do i go back to portrait. i see no icons for that.
thanks a lot
i reinstalled 1.12 and was able to re-calibrate the screen
my battery indicator screen still does not work and still shows unknown for main battery and no display at all for back up battery
any help for that?
thanks
In my magician I got PM16A battery, which is supposed to be suitable for a QTEK S200 as well.

i take it that your battery indicators work correctly
i don't get green or amber lights from the led either. initially they flashed when i plugged in the power cord but now - nothing
my model number is pm200
Yes my batt.meters are functioning. Don't forget that with WM5 you don't need a backup battery & that's most likely the reason you don't see it in your panel.
You bought it second hand I presume. If not, how about warranty?

the battery i bought has run out of charge and the wall charger doesn't make it work.
i put in a complaint to paypal to get my money back.
obviously the reason the guy didn't include the battery was because i would have learned earlier that the unit is bad.
so it goes

Hi All,
I have a battery/charge/pda problem: if i look battery status i read "Battery Unknown".
If pda is plug to usb/ac it won't charge.
If phone is unplug, it show me a message that warns me the battery level is low.
I try another battery, soft reset, hard reset, change Radio Rom, change O.S. but the problem is the same.
Phone plug/unplug: always "battery unknown" in battery status.
Any idea?
Up! No solution? Any driver? Any tools? any... any???

This is a tricky one to solve.
Here is something to try, but you may need to try a few times and even then yiu may not succeed:
1.
Remove the battery from the phone for at least half an hour
2
Using the mains charger (NOT USB) connect to the phone and switch on the charger (battery still removed)
3
Now insert the battery. Give it a while (up to 5 mins) and hopefully the RED no charge LED will change to Orange and charging will start.
Repeat steps 2+3 if it does not work first time.
If all that fails there is one more fiddly suggestion where you charge the battery a little using a couple of AA type batteries. If necessary I can give a few more details on that.
Failing the above then you'll need to get another battery (preferrably pre-charged at least to some degree.

Hmm, I have a (mostly) similar problem to this:
My 8525 (WM6 flashed) wouldn't recognize my battery (when plugged in, status light still just flashes green) but the battery still seems to hold a charge (I've run it for a day with outlook sync enabled, which usually drains the battery completely). Battery status is Unknown.
I bought another battery and the same thing happens. Tried it on USB, tried it on AC power. The battery indicator always indicates "charging" which makes me think that my year+ of owning this phone has knocked one of the wire connections out of place. Any thoughts?
(edit: I should add that I tried Mike's suggestion above a few times and the result was always that immediately after inserting the battery, the red charging light went off)
hello all,
First post here! The charge icon on my 8125 is stuck on the charging icon. Sometimes I can unplug the phone from the charger then click on the battery and it will still show as charging. If that wasnt bad the battery lists as a constant 100% but then dies???? I did a hard reset and all still a no go? Any help?
???
Have you flashed your rom?......If so re-flash the rom.....if not call the At&t warrenty dept.
good luck
Nope no flashing of ROMs here.... too scared lol. I kinda did not want to go through the warranty dept. thought maybe someone else had this problem.
help please
bump for a solution! To add on to my problem the green led stays solid and the screen does not time out (doesnt not dim automatically). When going into my power settings it detects my battery but the power remaining stays at a constant 100%. The battery is the original manufacture battery, no flashing of any sort has been done to the phone. I dont even tamper with the registry. Confused....
update.. I flashed the phone with the offical HTC rom and the problem still remains. Running outta solutions to try. Has no one encountered this problem?
Daily Bump. Could it be a hardware issue?
Bump. I changed the battery with my wifes 8125 still get the charging icon. Clicked on the battery status and it reads as charging? My phone dies very quickly now as the screen does not power save and the LED's remain solid. I also used a cotton swab to clean the usb and battery contacts.
So I said screw it and flashed a newer Radio. 2.69.21 I got the green led to flash now instead of staying solid. The icon still shows as charging but a little closer i guess. But now battery is listed as unknown and there is no battery status.
Hi
I have noticed the battery icon changes to battery from plugged immediately even if it is connected to power supply. I have never noticed it with stock rom. I am using thaihugo's WWE 1.22.Shift. Did anyone notice that?
Thanks
Ram
What do you mean? I have the plug icon when I plug, and battery when I unplug. Don't you have this?
did the word "not" fall out of your statement
If you add the word "not" after "...even if its is NOT....
the sentence becomes logical
But I tested just now, to see what you could mean..
If I nowplug my power in my shift, I also see the battery icon immediately after the powercord icon.
My guess is that because my battery is full, it won't show the "charging" icon anymore....
Nope.

Nope, it is showing battery icon instead of plugged in icon for a full battery, even if it is plugged in, while charging it is showing plugged in icon (for a not 100% charged battery. lucid correctly mentioned this.
Thanks
Ram
Got the same. Looks normal to me.
so that one is solved

thanks for the follow up. I share your opinion/amazement about the icon showing the battery status when plugged in and charge is at 100%. It should remain on the plugged in Icon.
I want this to happen because my car charger sometimes looses 12V because it's a huge charger and just fits the 12V cigarette holder. The icon would tell me if it's charging or not, in this case, one has to look at the LED on the Shift or the Shift charger.

Got confused with it, because I was expecting a plugged in icon whenever I plug it to a power source other than battery, which is normally observed with laptops and you will see the same on Vista Side. It shows it as plugged instead of battery even if it is 100% charged, and you would see the same in any other PDA. Shift WinMo is differently showing.
I recently upgraded my 8525 ROM to 6.1 and noticed the same issue, but on the other hand on my tilt it is perfect. But anyway I could look at the LED and decide whether it is charging or not. No big deal.
Thanks
Ram
I had that when I used an other power suply. So, not the original.
When switched off, it has enough juice to recharge my shift, although slowly, but when the shift is running it just can't cope.
So, Is your powersuply working correctly?
You can check in vista or with the charge LED.
If it is working correctly....\
well....
What do I know!?

Yes, initially I also thought that my power supply might be a goner, but the led is orange while charging and solid green when it is fully charged.

When I plug in my charger I get the correct icon showing plug with battery full at the side..and when I unplug it I get only the full battery icon...i did this a few times one after the other and it always change to the relevant icon straight away....btw I have a UK shift
Are running your shift on Stock ROM or upgraded?
Thanks
Ram

I wonder whether it is because of SP1 installation!
Thanks
Ram
I have SP1, all latest HTC drivers and bios update, and of course cmonex HArdSPL. I never experience hibernation problem or SD card problem as I used to have before.
today i bought used htc snap!! but when I came back to home and charge the phone, its charging light becomes on and battery starts charging and when charging complete then light becomes green from orange....
but PROBLEM is that it didnt show battery level or percentage on battery indicator!!
Simply it didnot show REMAINING battery leverl, and only shows '!' sign on battery indicator!! but battery is working fine!!
BTW. previous owner upgrades its rom to WM 6.5 from WM 6.1
