Hi Friends,
I have this newly purchased O2 CDA Neo with German Rom. It was all working well...and i was charging the phone through my USB cable for over a month. Now after 4 days all of a sudden the battery wore off, and shut down the PDA, I tried recharging the battery through USB (12 hours), and tried startng it...but its not starting at all....If any one of you have come accross this kind of situation Or know anything about this issue, Please reply & help me......
thanks in advance

I have the same thing, have no idea what to do!
First time it happened i exchanged my device, but the problem was still there and i thought the battery were dead. i bought the new one- and it work!!! But now it happened again!!
are you two draining your batteries completely? if so, then that's the reason. always start charging when you see 10% battery left. a popular myth is that ALL lithium batteries like to be drained. this is only the case for older lithium batteries. what you have to do right now is either buy a new battery or revive the old ones by "hot wiring" them from the USB port.
What do you mean with "hot wiring"???
It is true
Hi Thanks for your replies.....its true that i forgot to charge my PDA before it totally discharged....What is ment by hot wiring?? And how do i do it...I read something abt hot wiring of cars for threft...but how can that be done to batteries through USB Drives??
And i also managed to read this post....looks like i get the hang of it....

I've installed TomTom on my Tilt, but the GPS drains the battery faster than my car charger can charge it. Anyone have a recommendation for a better charger? I ended up using my laptop as a battery to keep the phone alive on a 12 hour trip last week.
What you need is a 1A battery rather than a .5A (which is probably why it can't keep up). Most sellers on ebay don't mention it so you'll have to take the initiatvive to ask them.
What you need is a good official HTC car charger. Cheap one won't charge or as you say won't charge fast enought. My HTC branded one will charge (not only maintain the battery level) my phone even with TomTom on.
Read my post here (and use the serach funtion also , many many many many many many many many (many many many many) similar questions have been asked...)
I bought a few car chargers on ebay and they broke. Since then, I've been using my USB cable with a USB charger adapter and it's been working GREAT!
I have plenty of USB cables sitting around the house so that worked perfectly for me. The USB adapter is only $2.00 shipped. I use Tomtom every day and the USB charger keeps up.

Thanks for the replies. I got mine at an AT&T store - it has a 1350mA battery. I ordered the USB adapter, we'll see if it works.

I don't know what the deal is but the only time I have a problem is when I am streaming media and my brightness is turned up. If you turn down the brightness all the way then I have no problem. I originally had a problem with the OEM battery not charging with some chargers but when I bought a sedio 1600mah battery all the chargers now work. Weird. All I know is that since I upgraded to the 1600 battery things have been better.
Car Charger
I just purchased this one off Ebay - works fine and continues charging with Tomtom running;

Looks like the one I have, the original HTC one . Good choice .
I use TomTom on my Touch HD with a car charger.
The first charger I used was fine but since I lost it I cannot find a charger that works properly... At first I thought I was just using faulty charger's but as I have now tried 3 different ones I am beggining to wonder if the problem is with my HD!
The funny thing is that on both the main screen and in TomTom it is showing the status as 'charging'... even the light on the top of the phone is lit to show it is charging but the battery level is still going down all the time!
The only thing I can think of is that maybe the chargers I am using now are not as powerful as the first one I used? Or are all car chargers standard?
Either that or my HD is broken!
Can anyone please help me find a solution?
Ps. The phone still charges fine through both a wall plug socket and a USB connected to a PC.
The car charger I use I bought for my old Tytn 2 (original HTC one), works great for the HD and Diamond, even when the battery was at about 20% left on the HD, TomTom 7 running, screen brightness max, the battery was almost fully charged within an 1hr.
Think it's rated at 1amp, you might want to check the power rating on yours, anything under 1amp and it's really going struggle to charge while using it.
Unfortunately its not printed on any of my chargers what amp they are... I actually thought they were all the same amp but if some are more powerful than others this could be my problem.
What does concern me however is that even when the HD is switched off it is still not charging (even though the light at the top of the phone shows it should be!)
There are plenty of tools around (HTC's battery.exe, acbpowermonitor, battlog, powerguard, etc...) that can show you charge/discharge current. If your car charger gives you less than the unit is consuming, battery will not be able to charge.

I had this problem and found it was because I was charging through the usb socket on the stereo which always worked on Polaris but not with Blackstone. If I charge from the cig lighter socket it works good.

link the charger to the main battery under the bonet and you will recieve a quicker phone charge, usually a full battery charge will take 24 hours, link it up to your main battery and a full charge will be done ina matter of minutes, its genius

First I used my original HTCTyTn carcharger by trial. But he has not
enough power to charge and run TomTom at the same time!
So, i bought this new one (more powerfull) for the Touch HD.

I bought a cheap and cheerful universal usb charger from tesco's for a couple quid. Works great and no problems with power whilst running TomTom
Hi, first post here and rather than start a similar thread so soon, i thought it best to post here.
Is it possible for car chargers to over-charge the device? I bought a cheap and cheerful car charger off ebay but was a bit concerned some of them are listed as having overcharge protection and this one wasn't. Wouldn't normally be bothered but its a £550 handset!
Cheers!
Hello folks, I am very concerned with my HTC HD2 as it takes like over 4 hours to fully recharge the battery. I have got this HD2 from the market here on XDA and it works very good overall, except for this problem when recharging it. I thought it was the charger and I have tried many usb to wall chargers even the the iPhone's 4 one, but nothing has changed.
I have also tried several roms and kernels but nothing has changed on this side as well. I wiped everything and put back win mobile 6.5 T-mobile stock rom, but hey, no difference here too..
I am wondering if there might be something wrong with the phone itself or can it be the battery going in holiday???....
How can I figure this out???
I have downloaded Battery Doctor from the market and it says the battery is in good health, and I get up to 14 hours with a full charge with mytouch 4G rom and kernel rafpigna 1.7 cpu 1.3Ghz OC.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem ??? do you guys have any suggests ???
This problem is driving me really crazy...
Get a new battery, mine only takes 2 hours when completely dead.

Anyways I was thinking to get the battery extended 2300mah
How many hours does your battery last???
Are you using the original HD2 charger? I have tried many different chargers and they always charge at a different rate. It has to be that, not the battery.

Unfortunately it came with its original charger broken and I have never had the pleasure to try with it.. Anyways I am using a charger that has the same specs of the original one, which is the usb charger of the iPhone 4, and yea same result ...
I have downloaded currentwidget from the market and it gets less than 200mA of current in, when it usually should get around 400mA, sometimes the value goes down to 200mA as well, which makes me really wonder the problem might be the usb port of the phone .
Does a broken battery does that as well??

I think it has to do with the charger you're using . When I charge mine I usually see anything from 500+mA to 700+mA on my battery monitor widget depending on how much charge the battery has, and like Segnale007 said it usually takes about 2 hrs to fully charge.

I can't say it's the battery cause you say it lasts you 14 hours, usb port? maybe. Your battery is good for it to last that much (on averge usage of course). It's the different charger that you're using.

The charger I am using its the iphone 4 charger and just like the original one its a 100-240V ~ 0.2A 50-60HZ , which I have no idea about what it means, but I can guarantee u its the same ..
So, what charger do you suggest me to buy?? I wish it was everything except the phone ...

That's your issue there, 0.2A (aka 200mA).
The UK HD2 charger for example, is 1A (aka 1000mA).
To work out the maximum time it should take to charge the battery:
(capacity x inefficiency factor) / charging current
(1230 x 1.15)/200 = 7 hours
(1230 x 1.15)/1000 = 1.4 hours

Oh gosh, so ur basically telling me its the charger I am using what is ****ing up with the slow charging ???
Can you please point me at a good one???
I am totally ignorant about electricity and stuff like that ...
That charger only delievers 0.2 A which is 200ma , you need at least a 500ma charger, mine is a 1 A ( 1000 ma ) and its quite normal to see a 700 ma rate while charging..

Take a look on ebay or any local phone shop/online phone accessory shop.
You want a micro usb charger that has an output current of at least 500mA/0.5A
The original HTC ones are 1000mA.
Blackberry ones I've seen are 700mA so they're good enough.
200mA isn't a problem, it won't damage your battery, in fact it will live slightly longer as it's being put under less stress when charging, but don't use your phone while you're charging with it as you'll be drawing more current than the charger can supply.
So for instance, if you wanted a car charger so you could use the phone as a satnav and talk via bluetooth, you'd need a 1A charger to cope with the drain on the battery.

With very, very light use about 55 hrs. That's not extended.
Alright, my dad has managed to temporary fix its original charger and I can confirm there's nothing wrong with the battery and the phone itself. It gets beyond 800mA with the original charger and fully recharge the batter within an hour and half, which is great..
Ok now I have to find a compatible USB to wall charger with the same frequency.
Since its a T-Mobile US HD2 its original charger is american, and since I am in Italy I'd get an Italian standard wall charger. Does the Italian HD2 original wall charger has the same frequency of the american one??
Thanks

I have the same problem but with Htc touch 2(Mega)-I know that this isn't Mega forum but i couldn't find any solution there,so i write here my issue-.It takes too much to charge my Touch 2 (around 9-10 hours) with the AC power.On the charger its writen:Input:100-240~0.3A(0,3A)50-60Hz,Output: 5V-1.0A(1,0A)MAX.DO I have the same problem,I need to change the charger?Thank you!
My T-Mobile's battery recharced 3 ours. not 4 ours or more. My charger is original.is there any problem with my battery
Hello,
I am using One Plus 2 for a few years already. Lately I started suffering because of battery drain and long time charging. Problem is quite serious because while charging and using phone battery % is getting down. It takes whole night to charge it to 100% and in the midday I have 20% left.
I tried to use different chargers and cables. Didn't help.
Today I changed battery to new one. Didn't help.
Wiped out unofficial rom, installed official stock one. No addtional apps installed. Didn't help.
I am charging it with charge monitor app and while on AC charging I get very unstable charging graph. I need to turn off screen and leave phone untouched to charge it.
https: //zapodaj.net/21c02b80b986a.png.html
Where else to look for a reason?
Usually LTE connection drain the battery. Try disable it and try for few hours.
I tried to charge it with airplane mode. Didn't help neither.
Hi
Did you resolve your issue? I have same situation but I think that happened after when I do update Oxygen, now charger my battery is really slow and drain battery really quick. I can just leave, not touched my OP2 for all day and the battery after 8hrs got 30%. I buy original battery and still nothing change for better.

Have you tried to change the charging cable. I had the same issue and changed the charging cable. It worked for me.

Another problem is with a cable because original cables for OP2 can't buy anywhere right now, the company OnePlus has stopped production this cable for this device so I buy original cable Dash Charger from site oneplus.net
Three possibilities (at least):
* The charger is not working
* The cable is not working
* The battery is failing
Solutions for the first two are more obvious than the last one. Pick up a new or working used charger/cable. But the battery is a little dicier. And frankly, it is also more likely the cause for this than a bad cable or charger (esp. charger). But re the battery... No direct sales from Oneplus are available except via an official Oneplus repair job, which requires you sending your phone to them and them replacing the battery. Obnoxious, eh?!
The unofficial route? This is frowned on by many here, but not me. Buy a cheap ebay battery for the oneplus 2. Look for one that at least promises the battery's power matches the phone's specs. I bought one for $12 from an American seller (because I wanted a bit more accountability if it didn't work). They do work. They also take a while to start reporting their voltages and charges correctly, and must be charged / discharged completely a few times before things start getting accurate.
That's no official answer... just one guy's experience. Hope it helps.
