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?

Don't you see my country flag on my posts and my city of residence is also mentioned there
hmm I see.
I read through all the forums and threads related to battery problems but non was similar to the problem im facing.My wall charger isnt working.when i connect it to my hermes the amber light turns on.the status of battery is also charging,but it isnt charging..once in a bluemoon sometimes it charges to aroung 20-25% thats it.my phone charges on usb connected to pc and on car charger.what can be the problem in the charger and possibly if a solution is available let me know
Does it charge with the wall charger when the phone is powered off completely? If it does, then its a software issue, and a new rom flash should solve it. If it doesn't then its a hardware issue.
On my phone, the usb socket has started to wear out, and it got to the point where it sometimes randomly lost the connection. I bought a dock off ebay, and that has luckily solved my problem.
it is the problem wid d charger....
I own a Gene now showing a weird problem, if i connect the charger then it the full charge green led will glow after sometime, but lose charge very fast. There is no problem if i used usb cable for charging. Is this a problem of charger or the charging port. The phone some times restarts when charged using charger.

recalibrate ur battery i think ur problem will solved by this!
hi
danish im also having this problem from some time so what i did is that i kept battery out of of phone for a day & then charged it through usb after that use its whole charge & when phone gets off then do the calibration process i think this problem arises due to countinous flashing of roms so dont flash device till its 100% charged
hey sam.
Did this procedure solved ur problems? Is it working fine now?
jerin
no still having this problem
but i find out that when i charge my gene through usb and then flash a new rom this problem goes off and then i can charge my phone through charger but after a week this problem comes back and then again i have to charge through usb . its just un understandable
Hi i have an odd problem my HD2 wont charge while in the car i am using the lusb lead that came with the phone plugged into a cigarette lighter adaptor with USB port. I know the lead is ok because it charges when plugged into my laptop and i know the cigarette adaptor is ok because it charges my ipod when connected, but my hd2 just wont charge. I have tried turning of bluetooth wifi well everything that can be just to check it was not using more power than it was geting but no joy. The HD2 does sy it is charging and the battery indicator changes to show this too but the battery percentage goes down. Any ideas.

I would try a different cig adapter. That's likely the issue. Check the mA rating.
thanks will order a new one from ebay
have you got your phone set to 'do not charge when connected to the pc'? because if so then the phone is seeing teh charger as a computer and not charging.
You may want to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=643808 where I asked the same question and answered myself after a while, making it into a tutorial
HD2 Charging issue with 1500mAh battery
Following problem:
Got a second 1500mAh battery, the problem with it I can't charge it when the device is ON; When the phone is turned OFF, the battery will charge normally! The original HD2 battery is working fine.
Anybody experiencing the same problem?
Hi,
I have a strange problem with my uni. When ever i charge it by the wall adapter it shows charging and even the orange led glows but its not charging. And when i connect to my computer through USB then it is charging but very slow. Can any one tell me what and where is the fault? Is it my adapter or uni?
Thanks
It could be your battery most likely, second perhaps the charger and in last option could be Uni (on that case a hard reset could help)
I have recently bought this battery so that cant be the problem plus its charging from the usb. I guess its the charger not UNI
On that case you can buy one very cheap this days
