Only 0% or 100% batt but nothiung in beetwin

Everything was just fine until yesterday when i realized the batterty's built-in monitor wasn't reading a real batt stat. I was sure I was running out of charge and the divice was still saying there was 50% left. I did a soft reset and my atom didn't boot. I took the battery off and waited more than 3 hours, put it back and couldn't boot. I haven't ever done anything to my mobile. No register tweacks, fisical hits or rom upgrades. I searched the web and found a procedure to get it back. Reset+camera choose 1 option and there you go with your device booting at last. I did so but when it ended whith the system loading proces it sent a notification saying that the battery was exhausted and it went off. Again it couldn't boot in a normal way even with the ac adaptor plugged in. I made sure the battery was fully charged. I did a bootloader again (reseat+camera) with the usb connected and i could get it back again but showing 0% battery indicator and would turn off as soon as i unpluged it. I tested the battery with a multimeter and even when it was fully charged i tried to recharge it until green light then i turned it on and the batt monitor was 100%. I could unpluged the usb and everything was fine. It didn't turn off but the indicator got stock in 100%. After an hour or so of normal use i was sure the battery was 90% or less while it was still indicating 100% of charge. I did a soft reset and couldn't boot again. I think the device knows when the battery is 100% charged but when it is less tha 100% and i do a soft or cold reseat the mobile thinks the battery is 0% and won't boot.
Yes, I have ugraded to ROM Xda-Atom-Exec-ENG-20060721-MOT0822 to see if this fixes it but now i have a rom-upgraded aton exec with the same fatal error.
I am at work rigth now and hopping my atom doesn't need a soft reset because if so i need to plug it in in order to be able to do a reseat+camera and wait some minutes until green ligth shows up. My atom knows 0% or 100% of battery charge but no numbers in beetwin.
Any ideas?

did you charge the battery for 8 hours on first use, continuing to discharge battery completely first three charges?
This is crucial for battery performance I now get at least three days of moderate usage and at least 7 days in standby, my advice is go buy a new battery follow the instruction manual completely, failing any changes (be sure to buy battery from somewhere you can get refunded) return the battery. Try also reflashing using bootloader mode, not using the SD card!

The last time i used bootloader was after hard reset a no card inside then i performed the last ROM upgrede available from O2. It seems to be a hardware problem more than a software problem as i thought at the begining.
I hope you are rigth, i guess the device gets charge information from the battery and the battery is telling it when it is 100% and 0% when it is under 100% and after a soft or cold reset. I am going to drain the battery all the way down and recharge it up to green light to see what happens. By the way i did not charge the battery 8 hrs when new.
Where do you think my atom is geting the batt charge information? From one of its inside sensors or from batt circuits?
Thaks for your advice.

I mean reflash using bootloader mode, ie. enter bootloader then plug in USB and run DSUU installer from your PC. Its hard to say where the fault lies, some Atom's had power management issues and O2 are fully aware of it, if yours is still under warranty I suggest sending it to a service center but be prepared to be without it for at least a month! (should change their name to SLOW2) and also be prepared to have it returned to you only to find they havent done a damn thing!

Its a bad battery, same thing happened to me. Just return it for a new one, the material is moulded with the smart chip inside there is no way to fix it.

Now my battery is beetwin 100% and 85%. I have searched other forums and i found out it is definitly a battery issue. It has been more than 6 months since i bougth my Atom so i have no more battery garanty. I thing i am going to wait before i buy a new one in orther to get the most of it since it still last more than 2 days.
Thanks for the information.

when a battery xp-02 (for atom family) is sometime stop at certain percentage, says 72% for long time, i do a soft reset and it drops to says 40%, is it a symptom of bad battery? or it is a ROM problem?

Frequently restart or powering off

Hello Guys..
I have some problems with my XDA Mini, first think it was battery issues.
It was 1 year i never use my XDA Mini and no battery power.
3 days ago, i recharge my XDA for 8 hours. While charge the battery, i turn it on, see the battery status was 80% for main and 0% for backup battery.
When the Battery status was 100% for main and backup battery, then i unplug the charger and use it.
The problem coming up.. when it rings about 30 second or take photo it will self powered off or restarted. Sometime i can not use Power Switch to switch it On. To switch on it must plug in the charger again then push the Power Switch. When it happened I see the battery status was 80% for main and 40% for backup (it has been standby for 1 and half day).
Today the ROM was upgraded to 2.03 TX and the problem still remains. I try to use my friend 's Magician battery and it still happen. And weird, my friend's Magician then have the same problem too when he use my battery.
I think my battery and other internal circuit have some problems.
If you guys have same problem, please share with me.

Your Battery is dead. Buy a new.

Only the battery? I'm not sure. It may the Recharger IC or other components.
Any other suggestion?

[Q]Battery Problem/HD2 shuts down, 100% charged...

My phone has a charge problem, after 5 minutes on the charger, he stops charging (orange light becomes green...). When I try using it without charger, the batter seems to be charged 100%, but after a few minute, he shuts down, sometimes with a warning (of low battery), but mostly the battery still gives 99% and shuts down without warning...
When connected to the charger, no problems occur...
I already tried a soft reset and a hard reset (via buttons and via the settings)
Somebody thinks he knows a solution?

Sounds like a hardware fault either battery or phone its self

I agree, most likely a faulty battery.

thx for the very quick reply... I'm going to send it back. Found a forum where users of the HTC HD (1) had the same problem.

help me with imate battery problem

hi
i've got a problem with my battery
no matter how much i charge it , it is always stuck at 0 % and the moment i unplug my phone from wall charger it will give low battery beep and shuts down.
i left the phone charging for the whole night but to no vail
the battery is charging ok because while flashing a new rom there ain't no problem but after windows is loaded it will shut down after giving low battery beep.
i've tried multiple roms but same problem in all of them
My question is
"Is there any way to tweak the registry of windows as to not monitor the status of the battery or not to shut down automatically on 0% charge"
reply please

Streak 5 dead, what now?

Hello! i have problem with my streak 5, few days ago battery drained out and phone shut down.
i connected ti a charger but nothing happen, no reaction on phone so i left it on charge all night.
Still no response, no picture on the screen, no backlight, no LED, completely dead.
I can get reaction only when i enter in fastboot mode (holding power+camera)
IN this mode touch screen not working, computer recognize device and i can do flash and i do it successfuly but i still cant turn on my phone.
What can be a problem, I tried everything with no luck, also i have not found anyone with same problem
I have 2.2 official, no root.

Try changing the battery. The one you have could be defective, or else there is an issue with the charging circuit.

I measured with instrument 3,67V, connected od 1 and 4. And few other combination i get from 3,30 to max 3,67V.
This seem to be ok, regardless of that you think might be the battery?

Never let the battery drain that much becase now the battery doens't have enough power to start the charging... you should charge the battery manual with some wires on (+) and (-) from a old phone charger be carefull with the voltage(V) and the ampers(A) not to brake the battery, 20 or 30 min should be enough, or you should buy one of this Universal charger. Then place the battery in the phone and it should work ok .

This morning I optimistically tried to turn on a phone and it was successful
battery Indicator showing 7% so i connected to charger, now is normaly charging, everything is working normally...
I do not understand, what could happen? i few times drained battery to 0% but still able to charge, maybe battery is problem, but again, turned on after 3 days

Don't worry the battery is ok the problem is not to empty it again to 0%, at 5% 7% close the phone if you don't have a charger to charge it. This method applies to every phone and battery. It's not a good thing to fully discharge.

Now is fully charged and power is 4,07V.
So obviously battery caused this problem.
I think, good info for all who suspect on battery, 4,07 V is power you need to have on fully charged battery.
With 3,6V you cant event turn on the phone.
Thank you for suggestions
