charging problem

Today I had pluged my usb cable in my cell and when I unplug the cable my battery was 30% charged but as soon I unplug the usb cable i got battery low warning and suddenly my cell shutdown. When I start the cell it shows -1% battery and now if I chrage the battery from charger it wont showing charging (animated charging bar) but its actualy charging it very slowly but now if I again plug usb cable and unplug it the cell again shutdown instantly.
I have tried different pcs and cable but the problem still there. Should I hard reset it? I dont install new software or change any settings durring the day.

If there isn't any important data on the phone,yes , you can try the Hard reset,but most probably the cause for not charging, is something else and not the rom (OS),so Hard reseting will not boost up the charging.If the device is not charging ,its rather more of a Hardware issue than a Software. Try to charge with a Wall charger (Mains),if it charges normally,then the fault lies in the usb cable,it might be faulty or try with other usb input port on the pc,but if it still doesn't charge with the Wall charger,than most probably the mini usb port of the phone is faulty or damaged or it might be that the battery is giving upon you.Confirm and check all these options.

I have already tried the external (home) charger and different usb cable and pc.
I cant hardreset as the battery is lower then 50% charged.
Just for your knowledge that the active sync is working fine and ithink mini usb port is not totaly dead,
And the orange light on top is keep blinking when I have plugeed usb cable.
And battery status show +21mA and +68mW only. What it should be?

BTW battery status icon bar keep animating while I have pluged usb cable. does it mean its charging.
Also let you know that this morning my battery last to below 10% charged and after that the problem starts.
And after pluging usb cable for few minutes if i do softreset then after reboot the system shows few % battery charged ( around 10%) but its drains very fast (in 2-5 minutes).

Ah !
So it has gone below the retention charge, required to start the charging circuit ,thats why its not charging.
Now either try to charge with a wall charger capable of out put of 1.0 amp or you need to 'Jump' start the battery.

i dont understand can you explain it a bit more.

This it what he's trying to say:
The battery has a well-documented bug. If you drain it below a certain amount (around 5% IIRC) then it can ONLY be charged from a wall charger, regardless what else the phone says or does. Your symptoms are weirder than usual, but not too surprising.
Replacement batteries are cheap and readily available. Start shopping for a new one while you leave the phone on the wall charger for at least 6 hours, with the phone OFF. This is a last-ditch attempt to recover your battery. If it still misbehaves after that, it's probably toast.

Thanks for explanation.
does the usb cable hack work (connect the red and black cables to battery + and -)?

YUP !
Thats what is 'Jump' start.If the battery is only below the retention charge,it can be very easily recouped by this trick.If it works fine,otherwise get a new battery,many have recovered their batteries by Jump start.

thanks for the link.

OK jump start do the trick (charged the battery) but my phone is still draining the battery very quickly (around 1% a minute) and I havent check the home charger or usb cable charging.

ok,good if it has started to charge,now don't ever let it fall below atleast 30%,how did you charged it if not through home charger or usb cable,get the battery fully cgarged with home mains charger and then check the drainage of the battery.
Secondly,either the battery cells have gone weak and not retaining the charge for long or you are using GPRS more often,coz it drains the battery quite rapidly.it all depends on your usage.

I just charged the battery from naked usb cable and it charged it but the battery drainage problem still presist and if I charge the battery from usb or charger the os dosent shows it charging. I think i should look for new battery.
Can you explain me what kind of battery should i choose for wizard as here too many local batteries are available and I dont know about correct specs for battery like mah, mwh, volt, etc and kindly also let me know I also doubt on my home charger what kind of charger should I get (mah, mwh, volt, amp)?
BTW I dont fully charge (100%) the battery yet, do i still need a one full charge and I also dont shock the battery by 1amp charger aswell.

Yes ! you must first fully charge the battery and than check the drainage.
Secondly I can't recommend any specific battery,check the specifications on the battery and verify it.
If the home charger is doubtful,you shud get an original PDA phone charger capable of 1.00 amp out put.

ok I also don't able to installnew rom on it, its giving me erorr that phone is not connected to usb cable etc.

Now the active sync is not bieng connecting too and I think now my mini usb port is faulty is it repairable?

Yes it is repairable or replaceable for that you'll have to contact the cellular company from whom you bought the phone,if its still under warranty. Otherwise get it repaired from any mobile repair shop.

ok may I know from where you belong?

After 100 days HD couldn't turn on Need Help

After have Touch HD for 100 daysI, have got a problem with it, it is about battery charging.
When HD turns on, it shows battery is low, then HD turns off automaticlly.
I tried charging battery with AC or USB, the Charging light is on but after hours, when turn on the devices it still shows battery is low, then turns off.
I changed a battery, it goes well, the device is on with all the fuction running well. and the previous battery is working after change the battery again. and it shows the battery is 90%.
But after a day. the problem is back again. and this time no matter what battery I changed, it still shows battery is low. and won't charge. even with the full battery the problem is same.
If you have the experience with this, please I do need your help.
BTW, The rom is from the factory.

Maybe the battery is fine, people have experinced problem with the actual charger. Have you tried charging through the computer?

Yes, I have tried charging with Computer, AC adpator and even Only charges the battery.
But the problem is not solved.
I suspect the HD's battery chip which manages the battery charging maybe broken ( if there is a battery chip)

Disconnect the HD from USB/Wall outlet. Remove the battery. Short circuit the pins in the HD battery compartment with a wire/metal piece. (never short the battery - it may explode!).
This helps in most cases for this problem. If not then warranty is the way to go.

Magic not charging, all LEDs off

I was on holiday last week and used my HTC Magic 32b for navigation with a universal car charger. I noticed the battery was not charging so I disconnected the phone. Now the phone does not charge the battery any more and all leds are off. I have tested the battery, bought a new one and tested the USB charger and they are OK. It seems the phone is simply not charging the battery and gets very hot. The phone starts with an externally charged battery, but I have the impression the battery discharges quickly. Any idea what I can do myself?

Check the battery contacts.

I have the exact same issue, I can't get it to charge at all, the contacts look like they are fine so I don't know what else to do. It won't charge or turn on even when directly plugged in anymore with the battery in, and when the battery finally says it is charged, it depletes in maybe an hour.

Same with mine. No LEDs, battery does not charge, not even a new one. And it discharges quickly. Maybe there's a shortcircuit somewhere caused by a defective car charger.

[Q] Not charging after battery got drained completely.

Somehow voltage shown by my spike guard was lower than generally shown. I kept phone on charge for almost 3 hours but after that when i removed battery was still below 15%, at same point when i had started charging.

Hi,
I figured out our GIONEE chargers are no better than cheap chinese ones. SO try with some other better quality charger from LG, MOTO or SAMSUNG and it will get charged.
-Dilkush

Ya I tried with samsung too... but no response... So when used other standard chargers , your mobile got charged.. The same Gionee charger and other charger is able to charge my other mobiles but this isn't

Gionee phone not charging even when connected and showing charging
Hi Everyone,
I faced the the similar issue recently, I dont know why's and how's about the cause... But, I figured out that the phone starts charging when Airplane Mode is Turned ON. I suspect it to be an Android Issue as I have read same complaints from Android users having phones of different makes.
Hope that we will get a patch or may be its fixed in the newer versions of Android.
My Android Version is 4.4.2
Hope this would be of some help to you.
Cheers!!!

Thanks,

Charging very slow

Hey guys. I have a problem.
My battery is charging very slow. For example from the original charger now when i use the phone and charge it it doesnt even charge more, in the past i played gaqmes on the phone and it still charge very fast.
When i charge from the external battery the battery only charge even slower, dont even charge if i use the phone..

Reflashing the ROM I used in these moments always helped me.

that doesn't have only one thing... Can be the System that isn't responding very well to current charging.
Can be the circuit that isn't working properly. can be the battery that is defected...
First i would flash a system that i know that works very well. If that fail. switch battery.
If that fail only changing the power circuit integrated or chaning motherboard.

Solved. The usb cable was the problem
