I can only answer your last question definitively ... YES, you should be able to charge through a USB connection to a PC.
You say your battery stays at 60%? Wow...I wish MINE did that
Seriously ... what happens if you let it die? Drain the battery of ALL its juice. When it shuts down, keep on trying to restart it and let it run as long as it will. Eventually, you will not be able to start it at all. When that happens, plug it into a charger and leave it shut off until the LED glows green. Then try restarting it and seeing what your battery meter reads. IF IT'S STILL AT 60%, I would think it might be time to invest in a new battery.
Good luck,
-pvs

Please help me !!!

Hey guys, Well I'm going staight to the point. My Jasjar is letrally DEAD. two days ago. the battery was about 4-2%. the phone kept showing a message that I should recharge the battery "abviousely", but the problem that I wasnt at home to recharge it. Anyways, the phone turned off after a while and I thought it was becuse of the battery. So, when I wanted to recharge the battery, there was nothing, the phone didnt turn on. I even replaced the battery, but no good, and to make things more confusing, when I remove the battery and put the charger, the red light turns on, which means that there is a response, and when I put the battery back, just nothing.
I really hope that someone here help me, because I desperately need the phone these days. please guys help me.
Sorry for the long topic but I tried to give details as much as I could

not to be too obviouse, but you have left it charging for a while? the Uni will not switch on until the battery has been charged for a bit. However, I do believe the red light it on at this stage, even though the Uni won't switch on. Also, new batteries may not come in charged state, so same problem.
Another test may be to charge the universal in a battery charger, rather than the Uni.

I really don't know what to do, I don't even know what caused this problem, but from your replys I can tell that the problem is from the battery, and nothing is worng with the phone, cuz someone told me that it's a motherbord problem. So, is my phone ok? is it just a battery problem??
Thx for the replys, BTW

Suggestions
Try your battery in another Uni.
Try another NEW battery in your Uni.(you've )
Try to see if your device can be put in bootloader so to know it is not dead completely.
Simple suggestions.
But ..Been there...Done that..worked.

Is my battery dead??

Hello,
My problem is that a morning my battery was 5% left, I switched it off and thought to recharge it later on. Night came to home, put it on charge (wall AC Charger). After 4 hours nothing .. no answer, no charge. Tried to switch it on, tried to reset it. BUT nothing happened.
Now I went to this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374108
If this is what happened? Should I do this? Or any other solution?? Thank you very very much of answering.
Regards,
Usman.

please help me!!!
anybody???

try to put our your battery out of the phone at night, go sleep, and when awake put to phone and try to turn on, if it don't help, try to recharge manually

that's the problem...! i can't recharge manually!!

i did the jump start.... now the red light is on!!
what does red light means....? i should leave it for charging or it will never chanrge now??

Jump Start
Jump Start may or may not work with your problem, you may need to charge your battery with external charger because after getting fully discharge it will not come on re-charge state.. you may say it is a design flaw.
If you don't have external charger than try to put positive and negative wire keep in contact for more than 5 minutes ( as described in jump start trick for 10 to 20 sec) but do this only at your own risk.
my recomendation is to use external charger.
i am also having this kind of problem with my wizard but my battery is not discharged my phone battery is draining out with no reason. i bought a new battery for my wizard but same result. If anyone can help me i will be very greatful.
Regards.

Major Battery Issues

I've been having problems with my battery for a week now, I noticed it wouldn't charge to 100% so that the green light comes on it will just goto 99% and then stay there. The battery then drains so fast, like literally I will be on 1% in an hour and a half.
So I tried a full reset of the phone and that didn't work. I also bought a new battery and that didn't work so I'm guessing the phone might well be knackered.
Also the phone seems to be really hot I never noticed it that hot before.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Replace battery immediately! Do not attempt to charge it anymore, it could go very bad!

I did, I bought a new battery and the same thing happens.
I have to have it on charge constantly all day.

Maybe charging control unit(in phone) is damaged, or charger is not working properly.
Can you check voltage on charger?
Also are you sure you use original battery manufactured by HTC?

Right here, my problem

Lenovo K4 note Charging Problem

Hi,
recently I am experiencing this deadly problem .
my battery drains completely to the amount that phone can't even boot . biggest problem is that its like phone is not accepting charge . after it loses all the charge,it turns off . when I connect charger it vibrates randomly . it feels like battery doesn't even have the charge to load that Lenovo battery charging animation page(while switched off ). phone goes to soft brick stage .after a few vibrations(I think phone is vibrating one time before loading battery charging page ,phone can't even load that charging page ,may be due to very low charge .so it vibrates and attempts to load battery charging page,and it goes off . again vibrates... somehow it recovers from the loop after some time )it loads battery charging page , and would stuck at 2%,or 8% etc... after long some 6-8 hours phone regains control and charge normally and everything coming to normal .I can't figure out what this problem is . only thing I figured out is that this happens when phone reaches a certain low battery percentage like below 20% .
after that phone will not accept charge until it goes off and all the above things ...
pls someone look into this matter ,may be someone else might have experienced this or someone can give me a clue

This problem has been faced by many users, including me. I thought it was only me, until one of my friends faced it too. Apparently, there might be a problem with battery stats. If you charge when it is fully drained, It will vibrate a few times. This happens because, the phone always keeps 2% of battery for the offline charging screen to load(the charging screen while off). But when the phone's battery is fully drained to 0% then it will vibrate and stays like that before it can switch on. So to solve this, charge the phone and leave it like that until its fully charged or like when you feel it is stuck(while the phone is switched off only). Then switch it on, and fully drain it again. Now once again charge the phone and leave it. Then drain. Do not remove until the phone until it shows 100%. Repeat this few times. This is actually to calibrate the battery stats. Now you'll see that battery charges properly.

Are you on stock or custom rom? If you are on custom rom, you can enable usb fast charging and charge it with computer. It helped me.

No. It's not rom related issue. Each rom has some unique capability. Any rom is good. You can use Kernel Auditor to enable usb fast charge and charge the phone with any computer. This will work on any rom which has a kernel which supports usb fast charge
