For some reason backup battery became fully discharged. One day I discovered that it was at 60%. Two weeks later I found it fully discharged.
Does anybody know possible cause of this problem? Is it a symptom of possible circuit problem in my S110? How/where can I fix it?

I've had my Hermes now for 7 months, and I'm on my third battery. The OEM lasted about 6 months, the extended battery lasted 3 months.
There's no warning...just shuts off and will not turn back on...ever with those batteries. Replace the battery, and it works fine.
Anyone else have this happen? I also have a Wizard for that's a couple of years old and it's still on the original battery.

Need more detail. I assume you charged it occasionally
Did you find the battery drained excessively quickly - say in just a couple of hours?
Have you ever hard reset the phone?
What happened with these batteries when you tried re-charging them?
Did you get the constant red LED when charging?

I have the same problem, it takes about 5 h to drain the batteri:-(
I start up the phone and leave it on the desk without doing anything.... and after 5 h the batteri is dead.
I have installed the latest rom, tried without the sim-card, everything!
The problem started from one day to the other.

I usually throw it on the charger every night.
Did you find the battery drained excessively quickly - say in just a couple of hours? No, the batteries behaved fine, with streaming and programs being used like word and PIE, it will last all day.
Have you ever hard reset the phone?
I've hard-reset a few times...currently running BlackIV and 1.41. The first battery died using Black 2.5 and then 3.0. BTW- love the BlackIV.
What happened with these batteries when you tried re-charging them?
Red light on the phone, and they get HOT!
Did you get the constant red LED when charging? With the dead batteries yes, with a new battery, no.

I now have ordered a couple of extra batteries just to have around. I don't want to have to wait a week for a battery.

Well that's a puzzler alright. I can understand 1 maybe even two batteries ending up faulty but more than that! Now if you were just getting the red LED then we might have considered a not infrequent problem folks report here on that situation (usually caused by the battery draining to a very low level and refusing to start charging again). BUT you said your battery despite the not charging, red LED, gets hot and that I have not seen reported.
To be honest I think you may have a hardware fault (possibly intermittent that is damaging the battery. Likely sources of the fault would be the battery connections (poor contacts at battery or at m/board) or in the battery charging controller circuit. Just possible that it might be at the USB socket. Non of these apart from a routine check of the battery contacts are easy to check, which of course is a real pain if you are out of warranty.

Just a thought - but do you have access or could you aquire a desktop cradle with a slot for charging a spare battery? (Available for about £10ukp on ebay and other various places)
If you're out of warranty (or even in warranty), firstly this would give you a chance to keep your batteries charged without charging in your Hermes itself (and hopefully eliminate a hardware fault). Also, some of your knackered batteries may be "recovered" by charging them in an external charging cradle.
I had a red-light charging problem with ONE battery myself which was cured by charging the battery overnight in a cradle rather than in the device itself.
...might be worth a try?
My battery function is a little strange too, though I haven't had my 8525 long enough to have killed the battery.
I charge it on a USB cable. It charges very quickly, and when it is charged I unplug it. After this, the battery drains VERY fast and the device gets hot. It is NOT hot while charging. If the device goes into sleep mode after this, it won't wake up w/o a soft reset.
I've found that doing a soft reset right after charging fixes this behavior. It's almost like my 8525 does not realize it has been unplugged from the USB cable, and it overstresses the battery by trying to draw too much power from it.
Usually my battery will last three to four days even with heavy use, provided I soft-reset it when I'm done charging it. If I don't, it will last just a few hours -- though I typically end up having to soft reset it anyway because as I said if it goes into sleep mode after charging it, it won't come out of it w/o doing the soft reset.
It might be a good general rule to perform a soft reset after charging this thing. It's worked for me, anyway.
I also developed the dreaded white screen problem too. After talking with At&T Business Customer Service, they overnighted a new phone.
Just speculation...I think it was some type of hardware failure that caused the batteries to run hot and fail. I feel this also contributed to white screen from excessive heat.
New phone ran fine all weekend. Charging did not generate heat, and had no white screen of death.
Side note...WM5 is horrible compared to the latest WM6 upgrades found here. I couldn't wait to get this phone re-flashed!
Yeah ... it sounds like it is definitely necessary to soft-reset after charging.
I have experienced this a couple of times on my HTC HD2.I charged my phone at night,it was 7%.But this morning when i unplug it from the charger,it was at 95%.It been 9+ hours already since i begin charging it and it's still not full.However,when i take out my battery and put it back in then boot up my phone,the battery indicator shows 100%.Can someone explain to me what's happening to my phone?Could it be the battery's problem?
Hello to everybody!
My phone doesn't charge sometimes at all, it takes up to 5 hours sometimes to charge fully.
I am on the stock rom - rooted - right now, and for example, while having the red light on while its charging sometimes it doesnt light up (the red color).
Sometimes i also changed the sim card and i had a better battery percentage (i have made the batterystats reset thing later btw but it still remains)
I have tried a lot of custom roms, if somebody wants to know.
So is it a problem of the battery? I am using the original adapter.
Or should i flash the stock rom again by odin? I came to stock rom back with twrp.
Should I change the battery?
Can somebody please help me???
(Sorry for my english skills xD)
I have the same issue. My battery is charged up to 50% and sometimes up to 70%. If I'm lucky, restarting my device battery is charged up to 100%. I think it is battery issue and not a charger issue.
The same happened to me a while ago. The phone took a lot longer to charge or didn't charge at all.
Switching the charger (or rather the cable in my case) worked for me, but the phone doesn't get hot when charging anymore, so I'm not exactly sure if that's something positive.
Change the USB cable.It worked for my tablet(with the original cable it took 8 hours and with a standard one 3-4 hours)

Hi, I have created a thread regarding this problem few months ago and successfully calibrating using the method found on the last post. But now the problem come back and that method won't work anymore.
From the thread there's someone mentioning deleting batterystats.bin will solve the problem. Is this method valid or not? Now I'm not rooted, and if I decided to root all my data will be lost because I have to unlock the bootloader. Long story short, I don't want to root if that method (deleting batterystats.bin) don't solve the problem.
Thanks in advance!
For my personal experience, wiping batterystats doesn't change anything; you can also read some info HERE
Maybe it's time to replace battery, especially if your 1+1 is not "new"; in order to understand if it is degraded too much keep an eye on the battery voltage all across the battery cycle
Do a couple of long charges (8+ hours straight) with the original charger and the battery should calibrate itself.
Buy another charger / usb cable. it worked for me.
Turn the phone off and plug it in to charge. You should see a battery icon pop up on the screen. Do not turn it back on until it reads 100%. Should fix the issue as I've had that happen across multiple devices.
Wiping battery stats doesn't do anything. It's mainly used for calibrating Android Emulators for laptops so the battery syncs up.
Cheers!
Hi guys,
Recently I've noticed that while charging my phone, sometimes it charges normally (that is 2h14mins to full), but sometimes it changes randomly to some weird 4 hours or so. Estimated charge time changes during one charge randomly. I am on nougat 228, using original charger that came with the phone, plugged to a wall, not using the phone during charging. Also, I have heard about this battery calibration method, can it fix this issue? Not sure whether nougat update could have caused it.
PS: The phone is new, like a week old.
My phone has got the same problem, also if phone is turned off it will take a long to charge, did you find a solution?
