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.

My atom is not getting charged.When i put it on ac adaptor it shows charging but even after 10 hoiurs the battery is empty and after removing from the power the phone shows main battery very low.
I tried charging thru laptop and same problem.
i have changed the battery also still the issue remains.
advice.

Yeah.. Atom behaves strangely sometimes.. In my case, some times when I switch on the bluetooth and try to charge it, It does not charge. But it seems to use the power coming from the charger to stay alive and operate normally (even if the battery is completely exhausted).
any suggestion how to make my atom charge
my xda atom started doing the same thing, I would plug it in and it would say that it's charging for about 5 seconds then the battery indicator would say full. Then I would unplug it and it would die out. I tried both charger & usb and the usb wouldn't work at all. So what I did is, I removed the battery let it sit for a minute. Put the battery back on and plugged the charger back in (without turning it on) and it's working. I was actually doing a search on this issue for the past couple of hours since this is the first time I've encountered this problem, but the phone seems to be charging now. I'll give everybody a update tomorrow to see if I have to keep taking out the battery everytime I want to charge it.
My problem is a bit different.
My Atom Exec charges with the USB cable synced to PC, and with one specific wall charger (specs: Input: 100-250V, Output: DC 5.5-12V, Max 1000mA, Min 150mA)
But it won't work with any other charger I try it with, even Universal charger I used to use with my HP iPaq. Is there some kind of trick to charging the Atom?
I as well have had this annoying problem happen a few times. I have a second battery and it happens with that battery as well so it has to be the Atom not 'reading the batteries' properly. As posted I have also found taking the battery our for a short time them putting it back seems to fix the problem untill it happens again
Try WM5torage. It will make your phone appear as a card reader in windows. Now pc will supply power to your device. Nice software trick.
Hi. One morning I switched my atom on and got the notice that I need to charge my battery and a second later the screen went black. I figured the battery charge was really low. Now I cannot charge the battery at all. The red charging light stays on for 20 seconds then dies. I can't switch my ATOM on. Tech Support suggested charging the Atom w/o the battery first for an hour then charging it w/ battery inserted after that. I tried this but still no go. I charged the Atom w/o the battery for 10 hours then inserted the batter but it still won't charge after that. I CAN SWITCH ON w/o the battery but with AC power. It shows Main Battery charge 100% as soon as I unhook the AC adapter, the phone dies. I even tried inserting the battery while the AC is plugged in. The phone stays on but as soon as I take the charger out (after I leave it for 10 hours hoping to charge the battery), I get the Warning that my battery is exhausted and the phone goes dead 10 sec. later. Anyone know a solution? I've ordered a new battery just in case.
Sounds like the battery is dead actually. I think that new battery you ordered will do the trick. The phone itself looks undamaged because it operates fine plugged in to the adapter without the battery, right?
New Battery worked
Thanks for reply Mochan
The new battery did work. I was just worried that the internal battery was damaged. Didn't want to have to send the device back to HK where I bought it.
BTW I bought new battery at good price here: http://tinyurl.com/22eeca hope it lasts longer than the original.
Cheers
I have recently bought touch hd, the other day i was listening to music when it just turned it off, it would not start again, neither will it charge. I have tried hard and soft reset but it makes no difference. also when i plug it in to charge the led on top does not light up at all. i tried diferent battery and charger but it still wont work.
any suggestions?

I had this issue. Some times HD can deep discharge it's batteries and not charge again. You need to charge the battery with an external charger and short the pins in the battery compartment momentarily after disconnecting from power. (don't short the battery!).
If that doesn't help then warranty is your friend.
how can i short the pins??? i tried a new battery too but it still did not start
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.
I left my phone charging overnight via the wall charger. Battery registered at 1% when I started the charge.
When I woke up this morning I had a large low battery icon on the screen and the phone won't turn on. I disconnected the charge, tried charging with another charger but everytime it shows the SAMSUNG logo, then the large low battery icon.
I tried removing the battery, cleaning the charger port terminals, swapped out different USB cords, everything but a hard reset.
No matter what I do the phone will not start up.
Has anyone experienced this before, or possibly no how to resolve it?

Happened to me several times (on both my focuses Rogers and AT&T), and I came to the conclusion it's a bug somewhere in the phone or the battery. I'm not sure exactly where the problem is (software, hardware) but I can tell you how I fixed it.
What happens is, the battery is almost depleted, it actually is 1%. The phone incorrectly reads that thinks it's charged fully and doesn't allow further charging the battery. So, you're not able to charge the battery correctly.
Now, as I previously stated in some other posts, I recommend having a standalone charger (Samsung i9000 ones are compatible are very cheap) as well as a secondary battery. The depleted battery gets charged fine in the standalone charger and when it passes 5% charge, it can be charged fine (again) in the phone.
This doesn't happen often, I believe it happened 5 times in more than 300 charging cycles (2 phones x 150 charges, I have them for over a year) so it's not that common.
I also found that it *may* work if you charge the battery in another phone.
As a general thumb rule, it's important not to leave the battery to completely discharge, and connect the charger/usb when it reaches about 40% (when you can, ofc). Please refer to my post here to see how you can preserve battery life.
