Hello,
I've a Wizard that is approximately 20 months old. Yesterday, before I went to bed, I set the alarm clock on the Wizard, put it next to bed and went to sleep.
This morning upon waking up I tried to switch on the Wizard but it couldn't. Firstly, I thought the battery was discharged, so I tried charging through USB on my computer -- it wouldn't charge or start. Then, I tried charging on the default charger -- again nothing.
I tried removing battery and soft reset - nothing. It's really weird, yesterday I left it working, no-one has touched it and today it's totally non-responsive.
Any ideas what might be wrong/how can I bring it back to life? Would a hard-reset help?
Regards,
1. how much charge was in the battery last night?
2. is your battery 20 months old also?
3. do you have a spare battery to try?
4. do you have many applications, music etc. on the device?

Unfortunately I can't remember, however I have an alarm which sounds periodically when the battery is below 20%, so I'm guessing I had at least 20 percent. Could be wrong, of course, but most likely above 20%.
2. is your battery 20 months old also?

Yes, this is the original battery. Aprx. 20 months old.
3. do you have a spare battery to try?

I don't have that. I guess I could go to mobile phone service shack and check there. Do you think it's the battery?
4. do you have many applications, music etc. on the device?

The Wizard came with a 64MB card I think. I had around 10MB free space. 3-4 applications, 2-3 mp3s. Nothing unusual.
Same thing (sort of) happened to mine after about 187 months. I was using mine and it hung up. I hit the reset button and that was the end of that. Even when plugged in it does nothing. Tried a hard reset... nothing. Soft reset.... nothing. Dead. Zip. Nadda.
Good news? Replaced it with a Kaiser!

Mine died too when i was flashing...
Leave the phone in the original charger for a while and see if it picks up...sometimes it comes back to life by doing that...
If that doesnt work, try a new battery, you might be lucky...
A somewhat strange development occurred today:
Today (3 days after it stopping working) I randomly tried to switch the Wizard on and it indeed switched on. It showed that it had 0% battery. It didn't even show 0%, basically the battery charge graph was empty - no number, no fill, nothing.
While it was on charge the charge light was on (while it was 'broken' the charge light was off when I tried to charge). So I left it to charge and when I checked back in 15 minutes it was back to being 'dead'. Can't be started, no charge light, nada.
I don't really know what's going on, however I'm highly suspicious of the battery. Currently, I'm periodically trying to switch it on again so I can backup my data.
Any ideas what might be wrong with it, do you think it's the battery or is it more serious?
Regards,
The battery won't charge if it gets to low.
There is a thread about using a 9V battery to get the battery up to a level so it will charge. I don't have the link for it, try searching for it or maybe someone else will reply.
You might have a bad battery. I bought a new battery because I didn't think I was getting the life that I should. I tried using the old battery about a month after when I had to run out and my main was low. About 15 minuets later my phone started shutting of and rebooting. That was the end of that battery.
Yep, it's possible. If the battery is to empty, you can't charge the phone. It is stupid but it's just like that. You also can't power on the phone without a battery with the charger connected.
Yesterday I received my wizard and I had to revive my battery too because it was completely empty. I used a self made 5V power supply and after 2 minutes charging I placed the battery in the wizard and was able to charge and boot with the charger connected.
Here's the 9v battery trick, connect the + from the 9v battery to the + of the phones battery and the - to the -, hold there for only 10 seconds then remove the connection for 10 seconds and then repeat the process about 8 to 10 times and then put the battery back in the phone and connect it to the wall charger to fully charge.
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to do the jump-start thing.
However, I've hard time determining which is the - and which is the + pin layout on the battery, since the label is not correctly applied.
As far as I can see the - is the one at the far right, however I'm not sure which is the + pin.
Can someone help me with this, please?

When you take out the battery and put it back in that direction ,turn and face up the connector side fasing you,the first connector from the rightside of the battery is the ' + ' and the last is ' - ' towards the leftside.Be careful while connecting and try not to touch other connectors. Don't keep the connections longer then 10 seconds interval.
good luck
Xeno1,
My MDA battery also died and went below re-chargeable state. Your trick to use 9volt battery to jump-start it worked just fine for me. I connnected for about 20 seconds (2x times) and plugged it back into phone and connected USB cable to it and my nice yellow charging light came back on. After about 30 mins, I could use the phone.
THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIP!!!
easier fix, take a standard usb cable. rip off the smaller end with a wire cutter, expose the red and black wire. take out your battery, than connect the negative(black) wire to the negative end of the battery, than the red wire to the positive end of the battery, leave it in there for exactly 3-5 minutes for jump start. after that turn your wizard on, and quickly shove it inside a new usb cable. or the wall charger.
note:
if not done correctly, you may damage your wizard or the battery. if theres a power overload or your power goes out. your wizard will burn out!
feedback is greatly appreciated.
p.s after that my battery seem to be weak, charge barely holds for 12 hours. after 12-14 hours it will die out. so i suggest buying a new battery after couple of days.
Thanks guys! Vario died yesterday and wouldn't turn on or charge.
Tried the 9v battery recommended here and it worked! I was a little unsure which end was - and which was + but using the advise above, got it right. Wasn't too worried as found and ordered a replacement from ebay this morning for £7.
The first connector on the right hand side, nearest the end of the battery is the + the one more towards the middle and further away from its corresponding end is -, or at least, thats what worked for me.
Thanks again!
Experiencing the same issues after I set aside my Mini S as it was experiencing problems with regards to its screen alignment. Wasn't able to charge it during that time I kept in the drawer unused - due to frustration as I can't use it anymore. After downloading a guide to disassmble it so I could remedy the problem I found out that it won't power up anymore even with a new battery.
Well, haven't tried the jumpstart thing and the original battery was disposed of already to try the jumpstart idea. Could it be the internal battery is causing the problems? I opened my unit up and tested the internal battery for power and it registers a measly .2V left. Will use the 9V thing to power it up (as been doing that before on watch batteries that are hard to find replacements) before I do it on the main battery. Here's hoping it works as the Mini S has been quite useful for me until now.
UPDATE: I charged the internal battery and it now reads 1+ V and the external battery at 3+ V. No luck yet though as the unit still won't show any life. Any suggestions?
Vivanov, I know it's been a few years now, but did you end up fixing your problem? If so, how?
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.

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

Hi,
I have a problem during charging my battery in HTC Iolite.
LED which mean charging can stay yellow for many, many hours. For example today my device was charging from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (9 hours), and the LED didn't change to green.
It change just when I twice use soft-reset and few times plug and unplug the battery charger cord.
Any one know what's the problem?
Best regards,
Radek
I have the same problem, but if i'm recharging the iolite from my computer via the USB cable it works properly and it turns green. Is this a common problem? Anyone else has this strange behaviour?
Maybe the wrong AC/DC - unit? Look at the backside. 230V or 110V input? (for instance from USA or some asian countries)

2nd idea: you have a AC/DC ad. from a navigation-unit? Try it, so you see, is the adaptor or the phone defect.

I don't think, it is phone or charger problem. Mine does the same (orange light for about 5 hrs). At first, I thought, it has something to do with SEX Battery enhancer, but I think, problem is somewhere else. Device is fully charging maybe for 2 hrs (just guessing) and when it is near full charge, it slows charging current. My laptop is doing it in the same way - Quick charge to 95 %, then slow to 100 %.
Also whe you use WiFi, BT or data connection, battery is draining and charging all the time. With combination above, it might be charging all day.
This is just my guess, but very probable one.

I'll try to charge via USB next time or in the car.
But so far I've used original AC/DC and second one from HTC Trinity. Both are 110-240V, 5V, 1A. And nothing has changed.
I have also a HTC Touch HD... but in my opinion it's not AC/DC problem.
Maybe should I change ROM or something?

... but in power settings (information tab) is a date of "last full charge" which changed when LED turns green...
My laptop charge to 100% in about 3-4 hours when I'm using it (2 hours when turn off), and after that battery is "unpluged" and working only on AC/DC. I think it's to prevent from battery damage because of still being charged.
Change ROM is not so easy, because are no many working ROMs avaiable (CID-lock!), only the oiginal ROMs. I think, torrentonly is on the right way.
I have the SEX-Battery-Enhancer on my phone too, my LED will be green after a while. You have any data scessions on, for instance bluetooth or AGPS?
I was disable all data connections, make the weatherupdate and internet with ActiveSync or wifi. With AdvancedConfig I was disabled the "auto data connection" and enabled the power management. My battery runs one week with normal using (ca. 3-4 calls per day and ca. 1/2 hour per day playing with any apps) 4-5 hours needed the loading from ca. 15% to 100%

If you mean the car charger kit, than I can say that when the last time I used the phone as a GPS it was fully charged after 1 hour (it was just half way charged when I connected it) and the green light came on just fine. This is a mistery
I use a AC/DC from my old Navi, have a mini-USB-plug. They have more power (the Volt is the same) and it works only with 230V~. Yesterday i was tested the original Power unit from Iolite - works too.
Now, when Palingo not makes data connection, maybe it works now?
Greetings
the device actually stops charging, but the led doesn't turn green
You can sense this - htc not being worm after a while (when it finishes charging)
If you soft reset the device, the led will turn green immediatly and the battery level will be 100%
So I guess it's something software based

My Iolite is from official HTC distributor, with original HTC ROM and without SIMLOCK. If I decide to update firmware I'll probably use original HTC ROM, but I don't know is there any newer than mine? And where can I find it? On HTC site?
I have:
ROM 1.09.479.3 (40104)
ROM date 01-16-09
RADIO 0.41.30.12
How CID-lock works?
I've installed SEX-Battery-Enhancer and going to plug AC/DC again We'll see what happen with LED
BTW: My battery runs about 3-4 days (in Trinity 2-3), but I turn-off phone radio for night (24:00-8:30).

I have exactly the same. But yesterday even after two or three soft resets LED didn't turn green.
Amazing
I've noticed this too - although it doesn't happen everytime. I'm pretty sure it's a software related issue as the charging itself works properly. The only trouble is with the battery indicator/led. I don't feel like hard-resetting my device yet though. Anyone here had the problem since the beginning? Maybe some of recently installed Apps made it work buggy (?).
Following apps have been installed in my device in period when I noticed this issue (maybe the list is not absolutely complete):
2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording
FingerKeyb-2.1-QVGA-Giannis86
FingerSuite.v1.11
MobileMonger1.2
mobireader
MortPlayer-3.3-en
nitrogen-0.3.2-wm6
QuickMark-HTC-Niki-v3.8r4474
S2P-0.58-QVGA
VAlert
(Personally, I am little suspicious about S2P...)
My other thought is that my device totally ran out of the battery life before I noticed the problem for a first time. Maybe also this could be connected to the issue somehow...
So, 3 questions:
Did you notice the problem since the beginning or just recently after using the device for a few days already?
[*]If not, did you install any of the apps above (or any other you are suspicious about)?
[*]Didn't you make your battery flat before your first notice of the issue?
Got no more ideas right now...
light problem
I found some bugs concerning this indicator light.
- I tried a new carholder (Brodit) and thought that this was not the good one, because the light was still green. After trying to plug it just "in the wall" it was also still green.
So I gave it a soft reset and after that everything worked: any powersource made it turn orange.
- If I receive a message or an email there's no change. The indicator does not flash orange. Never. And all settings are just fine: warning (sound) and flash.
edit: according to the manual it should flash green when a message or mail is received. Problem is that there's no difference, because it's always flashing green.

1/ Yes, I have this problem from the first charging using AC/DC
2/ I don't use any of these apps so I can't tell you anything about them.
3/ I'm always charging battery when it's not less than 10%-30%
Yesterday I made a small trip, so I use car charger. Original from HTC. And after 2 hours LED turned into green.
So... What's the problem?!
I have the same problem.
I have the italia rom, when i charge the phone with PC usb it's ok, when i charge with the power adapter the only way for charge is shut down the phone and in 1 hour the charge is completed!
Same problem here
I have bought the Iolite two days ago and it have the same problem described in this thread.
The green light of battery charged doesn't appear and the PDA is always hot (even when it is turned off).
I try to hard reset and recharging it and it works fine, but after few hours it begin again: the phone became hot and the battery drains out in a few hour and if i try to recharge the green light never appear (it stay all night with the AC plug).
Anyone have some ideas?
thanks
e.
PS I have the Italian ROM too.
Have a TMOUS purchased in May. Latest stock rom/radio. When the battery is super low it goes through the process of shutting down - but when I plug it into the charger the phone will boot instead of staying shut down and charge. Will attempt to boot then go into Sense then shut down again and do the same process all over again. The only way to stop it is to quickly power down and it will stay down and charge. In any of the situations the phone appears to be charging.
Is this a problem with the ROM/Hardware or is something going on with the battery? Have an 8GB SD card with Android (no boot loader) and thats pretty much it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I doubt that your battery is gone bad, but there are chances, try to condition your battery
Its just a little strange that the when the supposedly dead phone is plugged into a charger it boots up without pressing the power button. Don't think thats normal. Also when plugged into a charger when the battery is "dead" or near dead it should boot up and charge. This one doesn't - it boots - shows an LED charge light and then powers down and reboots. For some reason the battery with such a low charge can't power the phone and charge at the same time.
Will attempt to do a hard reset - maybe HD2 Tweak or something else did something to the registry and try it again. Since its under warranty will request another battery and take it from there. Don't think anything is wrong with the phone's hardware because it functions flawlessly.

If the battery drains and shuts off because it's out of juice, it WILL turn back on as soon as you plug it in, but it shouldn't keep rebooting after that...
Also if it's just shutting down on you in Android without warning when it's low, you need to condition your battery in Android so that it has the correct batterystats info.
No something is wrong. Ran it out of juice in WM this afternoon. Got the error message let it go. Went down and shut off. Plugged it into a car charger USB/cig adapter. Powered up go to tmobile screen/radio code then animation - rebooted did the same thing without touching it a few times then shut off - light led for charging did not appear.
Pulled battery - when charger disconnected - plugged charger - red light no reboot. Tried it again - same results with a hitch - it froze when it was charging - accessed internet explorer then it did a hard freeze - had to press reset button.
Don't know whats going on at this point - it shouldn't have done the freeze. So I'm going to experiement - pull the SD card (has Android on it) and try it again without the card. Try another card, try another charger and see - if I get the same results its either the phone or battery. When I have a charge greater than 5% there are never any problems. Only when battery level 0-1%.

Your battery pins aren't bent are they? (The little guys on the phone side that smash down when you insert the battery)
No, they are fine. I did call T-Mobile this afternoon and spoke to a level 2 tech - they think the battery is bad. Under warranty and have to call HTC tomorrow morning.
The phone does charge and does get to 100%. Drain in Windows seems fine and uniform but it does drop quickly once I get to about 20%.
Because of the reboot issue I think one of the cells is bad. Doesn't seem to want to trickle charge when the battery is that low. Tries to reboot - but can't get enough juice to sustain itself. Should just bypass through the battery as its charging. Either its the battery or somehow the charging circuitry is bad - who knows - with a new battery if it still does it then is the phone's hardware.
Will stop using Android for a while until this gets worked out - although I prefer the browser over WM 6.5.

Def sounds like a battery issue then, if the pins aren't bent because that is the biggest symptom of bent pins.
Hi
Recently i've bought this Htc Hd mini.It wasn't new.
Now, my problem is that the phone is charging only when the phone is off.
Could someone help me?
Welcome to HTC HD MINI Forum!
-Witch ROM are you using ?
-Have you tried Hard Reset?
-Do you use the original charging kit?
-How long does the battery last?

-I was using the original wm, but now i've flashed android with sense 3.5.
-No
-No, i used the usb cable and nokia charging kit.
-Not so much it can't take a day.
Also i can hear a strange noise coming from the charging kit. when it's plugged in. Could be an hardware error or software?
Better not do hard reset on the Android, can not help but bring you trouble ... to the charge I had the same case on CM 7.2, after a few reboot is to be changed do not know what the problem was, the developers are working on it, read forum you will find lots of information about
"i can hear a strange noise coming from the charging kit"
I would not use it, it is safer to be charged via USB cable.

Thx for reply. I don't think it's an android ROM problem. I had the same problem when i still used the wm 6.5
here's a solution
Flash Back to Wi-Mo and Check Setings\System\Power\Battery -Do not charge the battery if the phone is switched on and connected to a PC.
How do you know, that the phone is not charging?
The state of the LED (red/green/off) is changed by software (WM/Android), if the device is turned on, while the charging itself is controlled by hardware only.
You should check, if the phone is really not charging, while its turned on. Just ignore the charging LED and monitor the charging state of the battery after an hour, after you started with an almost empty one.
Best regards
@stahlnase, you're right when it comes to Android, but (windows phones) have software to control the charging. Something else;although we have through the nand installation erased entire phone, there are still some Wi-Mo "things" in this case battery setting or GPS was also associated with a Win-Mo settings. Regards!
I'm still not convinced, that the battery doesn't get recharged, just because the LED is not on
But you made an important point about enabling charging, while being connected to PC. Since demian12 is not using the HTC USB power supply, the device might "think" it is connected to a PC instead on a pure USB recharger. I believe, there are differences in the wiring of USB connectors to determine, if its a power and data plug or power supply only.
Regards.
can't flash back to wm.
I can't flash back to wm.

another problem
Ok, i've flashed the original wm 6.5 greek rom.
After that, my phone won't charge at all.It shows a solid orange light for 3 seconds then it starts blinking.
I can start my phone but it closed soon, after wm boot.
Because your battery is completely empty ... it is necessary to leave some time (5-10 min) to charge, ignore charging indicator, the battery is charging! After ten minutes put the battery out / in and start a Phone.
Go to: Setings \ System \ Power \ Battery.
And Unselect option: -Do not charge the battery if the phone is switched on and connected to a PC.
Done
all night

Thanks for the help
hello
Still me, new info
I tried with another battery.Surprize my phone shows that, that one is empty too.
Strange isn't it?
Any ideea?
If you have a good HTC charger and battery doesn't charge after you reseted windows to factory default, then your problem is hardware related.
Of course I have some ideas, but do not have time until Monday to deal with anything. Sorry. I have a suspicion that Nokia charger burned your phone. Of course, should be checked, maybe is a bug in the Android battery driver, and with the help of a trick to make the jump and put everything into place. either way, do not give up, try again and again to turn on your phone.
