Dear all,
Does anyone have the problem where HTC Touch 3G does not fully charged the battery even after 8hours of continous charge. When I do a soft reset the battery will show 100 percent and if I plug in back to the charger, the LED light on the device will turn solid green after a while. Also if I switch off the device via holding the power button and selecting 'YES' from the dialog box then it would also charged to 100%. Does anyone know if this is software or hardware related? Thanks.
Regards,
Kueh.
Me to: It will not completely charge!
Same behaviour here! It will not completely charge the battery. When I do a soft reset the battery will show 100 percent and if I plug in back to the charger, the LED light on the device will turn solid green after a while.
I guess it is software related..?
same on mine!
This is what I understand how it works...
The moment you unplug the charger, the fully charged battery is immediately used and becomes 99.999* %, even if the phone is off. Some power will be used e.g. the internal clock. But the default and customised some battery indicator will still show 100% (depending on what settings you use). If you use the customised 1% increment/decrement level, it will immediately show 99% and down and down. So when you plug on again, the battery is already 99.9999% and it will charge until 100%.
Battery issue..
The same behavior here too.
It appears as 100 % only after Soft reset.
And the LED - when the battery is full the LED flashing Green,but still flashing.The LED use some energy,so its normal for me.

Is not like that...
When battery is about 10% gives a message about the low battery level. I charge it, and the battery level becomes up, until 70%, then stops growing up and the led continues in orange. It can pass hours and the level maintain the 70% and the led doesnt turn to green.
Any could say what could happen?
I think it wolud be problem of:
1- the battery
2 - the charger
3 - the hardware in the htc that manages the charging.
4 - The software in the htc that manages the charging.
5 - ...any idea?

Have you tried charging your unit with the screen turned off ? or maybe shutdown the phone and charge it, I do it in my Jade and it charge very quick. in less than two hours the LED turns green. Hope that helps
Hi,
I have to a Hard Reset for the battery recharging status to work. Also when third party battery Icon program is used the problem comes back again. So now I have remove them all and it have worked for a few weeks now. Removing the third party program without a Hard Reset does not do the trick. Hope this helps.

Kueh

My opinion, you may have problem with the hardware, charger or even battery itself. You should send the set to the service centre.

I use a customised battery icon (the 1% incremental) and there's no problem. Full charging from about 10% is reached in < 2 hrs, even charging using PC or laptop.

Hi,
Have you tried ArielBattery program. I like it but it just interfere with the full charging problem and without it the system works perfectly in my case it is not hardware problem.

Yes, I have used ArielBattery for quite a while, and I did not give me any problem. Now I am using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3330601&postcount=69) and there's no problem either. And I do check and compare between the two

I have changed the rom and the problem seems to be solved.
Yesterday last around 4 hours to get 100% charged, but finally the orange led become green without doing reset or unplagging the jade.
I would be expectant next time i recharge...
Today in the morning i've wake up and checked my phone that was connected to a charger for last night. Power button were with a red light and a phone act like switched off.
Now, I can't turn it on and i don't now what to do exactly. I've tried a hard reset, nothing...
Does anyone had that problem???
Thanks for help.
Regards
First of all, if you want people to read your question, change the subject to something informative. Most people just skip these kind of non telling subjects.
Second, the problem. The red light shows that the battery is not charging, or that there is no battery at all. You could try to remove the battery for a while and then plug it in again. At start, when the battery voltage is below the normal 4.2V charging voltage, the red led is shown, but when the battery starts charging the led should go out. If this isn't the case, the battery could be broken.
You could also try a search on the forum, this question has been up before
And rather don't leave device to charge for whole night!
I have always left all my phones charging about 75% of the time I am at home (the other 25% is if I am tinkering with it and forget to plug it back in), so they are always 100% when I leave.
This shouldn't be a problem, although I also leave my phones turned on (standby) 24/7 as people mainly call me on my mobile rather than landline.
Several user in swiss forum (pocketpc.ch) reported on following issue.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Charging for many hours with the device in standby doesn't come up to 100%. Ends up at 70% circa (differs), LED is orange.
2. When switching the device power off, the LED becomes green in few minutes.
3. Now when switchin on again, battery status shows 100%
Seems to be an issue with reading or displaying of battery status?

What do you want to say? You can not confirm the issue?
Additionally I suppose that it is a software issue, the device seems to be charged.
Anyone else?
i have the same problem usually at 85%, if i soft reset then i have 100%
Yep i have excatly the same problem. I just thought it was taking ages to fix
Any Fix for the promblem? Firmware, software?
Guys, I had the same problem - search for rakh1 to find the thread. Anyway, after 2 hard resets it dissapeared. Must be a software glitch. Since then it has performed perfectly.
R
same problem here. hope they fix it soon.
I have D2 for 2 week now and this problem also happen with my D2 too. However I able to get it 100% charge while my D2 still on a few time. After A few test! I believe this problem is not a hardware fault! this problem is within rom itself. I did some test on my friend's D2 and almost 100% sure about this
Here is what I did so far....
2 week ago on my first receieved my D2. it come with original ASIA rom (can't remember rom date but it come with original radio).
Not sure that on original rom have charging prrblem or not (since I did upgrade my rom to new radio because HTC web have new update).
After update my ROM, I start notice this problem.... start wonder it's software or hardware problem...?!
Start Test.... first try to charge D2 while system turn off... result: the LED always green once it fully charge! (so this can confirm that not hardware problem)
Then again, test by charge while D2 is on... and result are same... never get 100% charge
So finally, Charge while D2 is on but turn the "Airplane Mode" on to stop all mobile and network functions. and the result..... it able to get 100% charge with in few time! still not sure what cause this problem.
Anyhow, even after few hour of charging my phone and never get green LED. if I soft-reset my phone, the batt will said 100%
Sorry for some of my comments is same as other people.... just want to let other feel better
i found out how this problem is to slove
hope i can help you.

Just a different well known battery icon (FInixNOverBattery) - i have it since one week.
Has NOTHING to do with the issue described in this thread.
Call me suspicious - but downloading a rar from someone on their first post??? Maybe you can give us some more info as to what the fix is - and if there is an offical source???
Rich
PS: mine worked fine for a few weeks but is now back to never getting 100% charge again I emailed HTC about it - suggest you all do the same to get their attention.
ok, sry at my device it make a full load abel.
maby its a fortuity

Same problem here, and i suggest everyone with this problem to mail HTC about it too! The more the better!
I am getting full charge even with WiFI turned on, hooked on 3G network.... I also have the latest official update WWE Asia.
Maybe the most of you did not notice, but it has to be a software-related problem and can be fixed by a new rom update.
Some phones seem to have this strange behaviour, some don't.
However, charging the phone when it's off, will ALWAYS charge it to 100%.
So the led will change from orange to green when it's done.
However, sometimes, the most of the times, when it is powered on, it seems to have difficulties updating the battery state.
To keep the best battery quality, you should not reboot your phone to get it green. Why not?
The battery was fully charged already, reboot it interrupts the charging (look at the led) and restarts it when the phone is booted again.. This means you charge it twice to 100%:
- First time when it did not show the right percentage.
- Second time, when it was already full (99% -> 100%).
As this is bad for every battery (look @ notebooks), I would advice anyone to unplug and reboot. One con about this is that the phone-information (last charge date, standby time etc.) will not be reset.
I just plug my phone in my dockingstation and it charged to 100% without any problem.

What about the main aspect? (Device on/off/Standby)
works allround for me
If it's on, it charges till green light
If it's off, It charges till green light
If standby, It charges till green light
one takes longer then the other, But thats normal
Hi, what ROM version do you have?
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..!!

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.
Has anyone ever had an issue where by their battery life is at say 59% and when i plug it in to charge rather than the blue charging icon appearing it just showing the battery being 100% and the LED doing successive double flashing as opposed to a static LED like i should be if it was charging?
I've not installed anything, flashed a new rom etc, was fine yesterday.
All i did was have a little play with CHTEditor.
somethings not right, it must be something to do with me messing about with CHTEditor
out of the blue my lock screen had gone, and it says i have a voice mail waiting when i dont. haha
Hard reset i think
update...
hard reset not worked...uhoh
Same problem here
I was in a phone call an al of a sudden everything just went black and rebooted. Turns out the phone stopped charging and flasing green and red. Battery ran out of power and the phone shut down. After the reboot the phone charged normally again
Another situation:
Phone started acting up again and endend in a reboot. Battery was empty and i made a phone call on the charger. during the phonecall the same problem happend again, but the battery was at 9%. I intended to unplug the charger and plug it back in, but after the unplug the battery jumped to 0% and shut down.
So, i think the battery is acting up. Having to charge the thing every damn day is finally taking it's toll.

yep, using the original battery, it seems to be ok now, charging as it should.
ahh well. cheers for the reply
one last this, how the hell to i get the lock screen back, i think im being dim.
edit
sorted
I have a program BsB Tweaks that has a setting for the lockscreen. Try that.
My phone is also charging fine when turned off, also it functions fine at the moment. i think it has something to do with overloading the device when the battery is low. Based on that its not possible to turn on any phone when the battery is in attached but the power is, i think everything is drained from the battery while charging it and that when overloading the battery just doesn't pull it anymore.
i don't have a alternative battery, mine is original.
What are the symtoms when the battery is at the end of it's life? does it do this, or is it supposed to give a warning or something?
edit: i am unable to find a manual page describing the different modes the LED could be blinking. I'm curious what is says about the red and green blinking mode. Does such a page exist?
