my phropet (818 pro, G3) have this problem. Whenever I charge the device, the LED indicator show amber light and the battery indicator on power setting says "charging" with charging animation run normally. But the percentage decreased and eventually my device powered off automatically because out of power.
Any idea what's going on with my device?
I was just about to create a new post about this...
My Prophet is about 2 years old, has been running Korand's ROM with WM6.1 without problems for about 1 year, stable (ie, no new applications installed recently) - and now it seems that it will only charge when the battery hits 0% - and stops when the battery hits 100% (or very close)
The charging light comes on, and with Battery Status it will show it gaining or losing charge, when the battery is in fact losing charge.
I actually bought a second battery, reflashed the ROM, so it's not battery (same behaviour with both batteries), nor a ROM malfunction (happened before and after reflash).
So, is it a hardware issue? Sometimes it seems to recharge from say 50%, but at present I'd say it seems to be unable to charge if it has been fully charged.
Any ideas??

I have problem with led notification when i charge my Touch2. The software never indicates the 100% charge and at 50-60% it start to discharge and then to charge again. The led is always orange, not change to green.
After 3-4 hours of charging i remove the power source, i restart the divice and it show 100% the battery level.
Somone know how to fix this bug?
I think is the same problem with HTC Diamond2 Power LED Notification fixed by HTC.
Nobody with this problem?
No did not notice.....what you can do to solve is a soft and alternatively a hard reset......
This problem apear after an hard reset and i think is something from the registry. But i can't find what.

I have the same problem, can't solve it ((
yeah.. i have the same problem too..
there is something wrong with my mega after i made hard reset.
something wrong with the battery indicator. i had to reset my phone every time i charged.
so, please.. anybody know?? or even better, give us the solution..??
The same problem
There is an update on the HTC website concerning unlocking and resume after sleep http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=291&act=sd&cat=all which is not an answer propably to your problem but would do anyway.
And for sure would take it to HTC service.....
Try this:
Try to plug the power cord to phone AFTER you unlock the screen. Verify the battery icon has changed to "charging" and leave the phone. The green led should light in max. 2 hours.
It works for me but i noticed this problem 2 times in 6 months.
I think it's a windows bug.
For my case, after hard reset it back to normal(turn green after full charge)
Assume that hard reset is performed in correct manner..!!

I am from Singapore and I have the same problem.Leave it whole night to charge,wake up and the LED shows orange.Check the battery bar,same as the night before.I bring to HTC and told me to sent for servicing which I am not willingly to.Looks like a firmware issue.
Hello
I am a htc touch 3g user.... ( JADE )
I have this problem since 1.5 years ago...
Nothing solved it... Flashing Lots of ROMs ... Changing radio...
I am ok with it
Hi,
Sorry for my English
I think that problem by charging the battery is on the charging method, ie on the charge current.
If battery is charged by PC (USB), then charge current is 300-350 mA (Medium Charging), battery is then fully charged (100%) without any errors.
When using HTC charger, charging current is 800-900mA (FastCharging) and then come the problems.
My presumption is that interruption of charging is due to rapidly increasing voltage and temperature of battery, and it leads to protection shutdown, Windows will detect the error as it leads to charging interruption.
Hello guys,
Please try the following,
1. Drain the battery completely i.e. use the phone it it switches off by itself.
2. Once done, start charging the phone & keep the phone powered-off.
3. Charge it completely till the LED status is Green.
The above method will refresh the battery & probably should clear the issue.

I have the same problem, I found the display lights up when charging, is marked with 100% HTC charger.
I've bought an aftrrmarket battery and I have problems cahrging it.
It often shows itself as "fully charged", the led blinks from orange to green and it does not charge.
Whe in windows mobile, it shows 100% (not true) , but if i tap the battery icon i see the real percentage.
It does not recharge also when the phone is off.
BUT
I have noticed that when i am into android mode (one of the ported builds) the battery charges ...
SO
I think there is something preventing WM to charge the battery when it is 100%, and this control is missing in android.
now the question:
is it possible to "force" the charging in WM so that it bypasses the "100%" problem (like in android?).
Thank you in advance
I think an orange and green light means theres a problem and it cant charge,
I have an unofficial battery that does that too......
no, as i told you, there is something more.
when i am in wm or the phone is off, cahrging is almost impossible (orange and green led, wm icon showing 100% charge even if the battery is 1%).
BUT
if i switch to boot mode (vol down on startup, hspl screen) or if i am in android, THE BATTERY CHARGES.

So you are trusting android, in beta on these phones, over the default battery charging software?
I hope you don't blow up your battery.
Do you still have the original battery? Does it charge properly in WinMo?
I don't know if this is any help but... I also bought a very *ahem* low priced battery and experienced the same problem you mention. This was before android was stable so I have yet to try that, but I was able to fully charge the battery in winmo by putting the phone next to the air-conditioner. My thought when I read your post is perhaps that winmo is running the phone hotter and inhibiting battery charging. Somehow, I feel as though I'm grasping at straws...
'Force' and 'lithium-ion battery' should probably never be in the same sentence.
The flashing LED is an indication of overheating, thus the system stops charging until the temperature drops.
Try charging it someplace cooler.
If that doesn't work, the a method I read about is to run the phone until it totally flattens the battery, then put it on a full charge for at least 4 hours.

or, turn the phone off while charging will help keep it cooler as well.

Darn, I knew I forgot something
I have one original battery which the phone came with, and THREE oem chinese batteries which look exactly the same, except for the lower barcode which is tinier than the one on the original battery.
I only charge them outside of the phone, with an ac mains charger, and they go to full 100% since it's what the phone say when I switch them.
Whenever I charge them in the phone (only time it happens is when I'm in my car and use the lighter charger) it's just math, they end up in the green-orange led loop, and they stop charging.
It's well known and it's related to overheating, but at least they do not drop as well, which means I can go on and use them for gps navigation or any other task and the battery will stay at the percentage at which I left it.
I also have the same behaviour of OP, that is, taskbar icon says the battery is 100% and NOT charging, info panel after tapping taskbar reports real percentage, S2U2 reports real percentage in green, which means S2U2 sees it as charging. Anyway, as soon as I go home, I wait for the battery to drain to at least 10%, switch it out and slap it into the mains charger.
My oem batteries last up to 3 days.
I have the official HTC extended battery and with the latest chucky rom i have been using it wont charge in the phone anymore. It always used to with no problems. There is something missing software wise that prevents it from charging.

Is the middle pin of the battery contacts bent or different to the others?
The green/amber flashing means "charging problem" which can be due to overheating, but also can be due to an incompatible battery.
When I got my HD2 with the original O2 ROM, the HTC large capacity battery wasn't compatible, this required a ROM update.
If you're running stock, make sure you've got the latest ROM.

Nope it seems fine. It charges the standard battery ok.
As I said im running Chucky ROM. I had something like 21st July chucky ROM on and it charged. Update to the 11th August ROM and it wont charge. Tried the 5th August the same. Havent had chance to go back to the 21st July one to check.
Incidentally I dont have green amber flashing lights. I have alternate Green and Red flashing.
The battery charges perfectly well in my desk charger and runs the phone fine it just wont charge in the phone.
I read in one of the discussions see that one problem identified in WP7 install on HD2 is no charging when the device is off. It is referenced as a maglard issue.
However, I am facing a completely contrasting problem. I am using an extended HTC battery and since the time I have installed WP7, the device does not charge while it is switched on. I see the charging icon blinking when the phone is kept on charge, but even after hours the battery status does not change. I unplug the charger and immediately the battery warning pops up.
However, when I switch off the phone and then keep it on charge, the battery does get charged up to 25% (guesstimate by seeing the battery icon after I switch on the mobile) and the orange led light is on. The led light turns off after 15-20 minutes and the mobile does not charge any further. Also, after this, when I try to switch on the handset by pressing the power key, nothing happens. I have to take battery out, reinsert it and then switch the device on.
It is making WP7 a very unpleasant experience for me so far. I have not yet activated the Live services on the WP7 install but I do not think this could be a reason for the charging issues.
Is this a peculiar problem or is anyone else facing this issue? Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
As far as I am aware magldr doesn't support the extended battery. I suspect it partially charges when off while normal batteries don't is that the ext bat has some extra control circuits for the extra bit but relies on the phone to charge the rest which itcant.
I wouldn't risk keeping a battery constantly so low charged, you risk damaging it or the phone. If you must stick with wp7 I'd flash back to Wm and give the bat a good charge every few days just to be safe.
Extended bat is not yet supported on WP7 so thats why its not charging.
You should either go back to 6.5 or Android until bat drivers are made for extended bat.
I have drained, reset, charged, drained, calibrated, reset to original rom, etc etc etc... No matter which ROM i use (currently on Trips MIUI103) my x10 will not go higher than 90%, then, even though it remains plugged in (and shows charging in Juiceplotter) it slowly drains until empty. Makes it difficult to plug in at night before I go to sleep, and to wake up to find it empty.
(At night I turn off Cell radio, 3g, wifi, bt, gps, etc etc etc) Does the same if the phone is off completely.
Any one have any ideas - it is not the battery, as i use my wifes battery and the same thing happens in my phone, but not in hers.
Well you may have a defective chipset or battery pack.
I suggest return it to SE.
Are you 100% that your apps or firmware isn't causing it?
Sounds like your phone is getting a run off current..
Does the Green "fully charged" LED ever show up.
Yup. Green LED is on at 91% right now (the highest I have ever seen it). and if I wait, it will be green at 90%, 89% etc
Use the phone for one week without reseting or wiping the battery cache..
run it down all the way even when it reaches 1% leave it..
the moment it shuts down.
begin recharging..
"don't use the phone"
till the green led comes on.. leave it a extra 30 mins.
repeat this twice!
then use it normally for the rest of the week..
this time charging at 15% when the phone notifies you and leaving it at least 30 mins after the the green led comes on...
if this does not work... ship back to SE.
Now battery doesn't charge at all (either the regular BST41 or the CSino 2600mah)
Luckily, under warranty, Rogers is sending one to replace. should be here today..
try removing the battery, then plugging it in (without the battery) for about 10-15 minutes.
unplug, put the battery in, plug it back in to charge.
As far as I know, when you calibrate the battery (charge full, the wipe stats, back to 88% then recharge, 2-3 times), I never got 100% after it (always back to 88%, so I have to charge it up to 100%).
Try to wipe again battery stats from xrecovery
Check also the Wolfbreak's CM v054 (dev section), on the first post there's a trick for battery troubles, you might try it
Edit : check also your charging supply and use as possible the stock SE charger. Why ? Because x10 often charges bad/not/slowly with other charger, most of them use a lower mAh charging and the x10 loves high mAh
Hey guys, I have a Optimus San Francisco (Portuguese version of the ZTE Blade) and I've been having some serious problems with its battery.
Ever since I rooted it and flashed some custom ROMs, I have never been able to properly calibrate the battery. No matter if I use the Battery Calibration app or Clockwork Mod, the phone will simply NOT charge the battery to 100%. It will stop at 66% or some other random number. In the (very) rare occasions that I did get it up to 100%, the issues remained.
No matter what I try, the problem persists. I bought a new battery from ebay (just arrived, today) and, to eliminate any possible source, flashed a new ROM (I started on SS RLS5, went to CM7.1 Beta, CM7 Stable, and am now on GLS beta 22).
Just like an hour ago or something I flashed GLS beta 22, wiped user and cache partitions and wiped battery stats. I put the new battery in (was about empty), it booted and was at 1%. I connected it to the charger (remember, no batterystats.bin) and it didn't go past 1%. Then, it powered off. Right now it's supposedly charging while powered off, with the red LED.
Any ideas? Seriously, I haven't been able to use this phone on day-to-day basis for MONTHS.
Might be that your hw is faulty. Is the led working? The led should change from red to green when the charge is over 90%.
Here are the battery calibration steps you could still try:
1.Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.
2.Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.
3.Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.
4.Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.
5.Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green.
6.Disconnect the phone, power it on in clockwork recovery, and wipe batt stats. You need to use this sequence only once.
Yes, while tinkering with this new ROM I tried a "LED test" and the LED did flash red and green.
I've seen those instructions and the problem is, the battery percentage gets stuck at a certain level and will not get past that. So, the LED is always red.
Apparently I solved the problem by using another USB cable and my set top box's USB. Looks like the problem was in ZTE's charger.
