Try charginf battery with the display Off

How about charging it every night when you are going to sleep?
In any case, turn off WiFi, LCD, GPS, bluetooth and any other data connections while not using it.
If you charge using the supplied USB cable, be sure to set the LCD brightness to minimum for a much faster charge.

It is much better to charge battery over travel charger, it must be just few hours for full charge

Are you, by any chance, charging the unit with a computer?

There is a significant difference in charging with the supplied wall charger compared to the USB cable. Just use the wall charger and your charge times will drop to about 3 hours from 10% battery to full charge.
If you have lost the wall charger, be sure to set the LCD brightness to minimum while charging through USB.

Don't use USB for charging if you have a wallcharger at hand....it takes way too long!!
Wallcharger on empty battery 2 Full charge takes about 2 hours.

2 hour full charge with wall charger wow!!! i was thinking usb charger will be faster. and my other question is should i use my original dopod wall charger or other wall charger is fine? let me know

Of course the original charger is the best to use.
If you do not have the original charger, find a charger that outputs 5V and 1A.

Charging via USB seems to be a MS Windows Mobile issue, not necessarily an Anthena problem. Since WM5 Aku 3, most devices have issues charging over USB..

Let's hope someone invents a docking cradle with this facility like the old HP PPC's.

After using U1000 for almost a month now, I don't feel that the battery life is any better than my Universal. If it's better, perhaps, a little bit better.

Charging via USB Charger

I am on the road a lot and don't want to be carrying the HTC charger with me. For my Treo, I had a foldable USB AC adapter (.8A and 5V) to which I plugged in a Sync and Charge cable and it did just fine.
After reading all the comments about there being two ways to charge a Tilt - fast and slow, I decided to test out a retractable USB data cable with my USB AC brick. I set the option in Power to "Not charge the battery when connected to the PC." and plugged it in. Nothing. I then unticked the box and sure enough, it started to charge. As I was at 70% of the charge, I expected this to drag on, but it didn't. It took about 1 hour and was fully charged.
I'm still a bit worried about charging this way - the description of the Lil Sync cable for the Tilt says that while it might work, under certain circumstances it won't if your battery is below 30% of a charge. Has anyone seen this happen? The last thing I want is to go away for a few days and be stuck with a dead batttery.
Do I need to pick up a special cable from ppctechs or boxwave just to charge? Should I just carry the supplied charger?

I always charge my kaiser just using the sync cable and it works fine even from a flat battery. there seems to be absolutely no need to carry an AC adapter around when you can just connect it to a computer to charge.

Thanks Spooki. Just curious - how long does a charge usually take when you charge against a computer's USB?

it seems to take roughly twice as long as a wall charger but i work with PC's all day so doesn't really bother me, much easier than carrying a charger around.

Battery/Charging Problems

I just recently bought a wall charger since I lost the original one a while back. I've been charging via USB this whole time (maybe 6-8 months now). Anyway, when I charge with the wall charger, it'll say 100% and the green light would turn on (instead of the orange/amber for charging) so I assume that it's done. As soon as I unplug it, it drops maybe like 20-30%.
Is this a problem with the charger? Or the battery itself? I don't think it's battery since I've never had this problem when I would charge via USB. Could it be that my phone's just not used to being charged with a wall charger? Maybe because it's being charged faster with the wall charger that it's "used to" with USB? Any thoughts would be great.

No there's nothing wrong with your phone,if it gets charged via usb,then its fine.Fault is with your new wall charger,is it compatible with your phones specifications ? is it the original recommended or from other third party manufacturer ?. Wall charger must output a charge of 1.0 amp to fully get the pda battery,less then 1.0 amp will not charge the battery. Check this out,ok
Cheers!

Hd Battery Charging between 60 to 70 %

Hi everyone,
I've a brand new touch Hd (november 2008). Few days ago I report a problem charging the battery with the stock charger. The charge doesn't stop (always amber light and no green light of completed charge) the battery percentage stuck between 60 to 70 %. Only with the stock adapter. If I charge battery with another adapter (example with an original Apple usb ipod charger, with same specs) or with usb cable connected on pc the charging stop correctly. Another fact if I connect stock charger to the phone when it was at 100% battery charge, it dosn't start charging and no amber/green light appear.
Any clues?
Thanks a lot a excuse my poor english

Duff charger?

I think no because it charges the battery for the 60 % in my hd, and if I connect another device (an mp3 player or another phone) to the charger it charges correctly.

soft rest the device and try again

I wasn't impressed at all with my charger
after a while the usb socket didn't hold the cable tight so I had to wiggle the cable till it kicked in and started charging
changed to a usb socket-ed charger with the supplied cable
and now all's fine

Sounds very much like a bad charger.
I had this on a Tytn with the supplied charger. I had bought two extra ones for the office and the study and both of these were fine. It was too expensive to send the charger back for repair so I just stuffed it in the cupboard and used a USB charger.

Ok, thanks so much for replies. Now I'm thinking to sell my hd without the original charger.
Bye

Charger provides 1000 mA, yet phone only takes 500.

Hi,
I bought a wall charger for my N1 today. I was searching for one with 1000 mA output so the phone would charge twice as fast, but after having it on for a long time and seeing that it was only 22% charged, I looked at the battery status and it said "USB". I unplugged it, plugged the stock adapter and it said "AC", and started to charge at the usual speed.
Is there a way to have wall chargers that are NOT the ones provided by HTC charge at a normal speed? thanks!

Interesting... it happens the same thing with an iPhone charger, which have the same output characteristics as the stock charger. I never thought looking at the battery status

FWIW, you can easily see if your phone is charging fast or slow by installing the quick system info app (AC=fast, USB=slow).
I'm using the 1000 mA charger with the USB to micro USB cable that came bundled with the phone. Might it be the cable limiting the power?

I've been trying to figure this out too...

I bought a USB car charger to charge my phone in the car whilst driving.
However even with my phone on standby it still loses power.... I don't know whether it's because I'm using the USB cable or the charger is inferior.
It is rated a 1000mA (the charger).

I bought the HTC car charger from expansys.. bit costly at around £20 for a charger but it works perfectly for me. Drove 4 hours with copilot running, and battery remained perfectly charged

As well as the stock charger, I often use a pikie USB charger with a Nokia micro USB cable... phone reports an AC charger in use.
