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???

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.

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.

Hi, what ROM version do you have?
Need some help hope i post this in the right place. i have gingerbread on my HTC HD2 and was converting back to windows to sell on ebay and i started it was almost done when i relised before i started i forgot to charge the battery and it ran out before it was done know the phone what turn on at all. i plug it in the wall charger nothing, plug it into the computer nothing tried everything nothing. do you think that the battery is that dead and it was in the proccess that the chargers dont work on it no more. would it work maybe if i had a charged battery to put in it. it mite come back on. any help would be great thanks.

Just keep it plugged in for 1-2 hours and then try booting in to try color screen bootloader and go from there.....
If you have MAGLDR installed then you can not charge the battery when the phone is off.
You should try to charge the battery using an external charger.
Edit: If you have a friend with HD2 and windows Mobile 6.5 then you could use the phone to charge you battery.
Wrong, you can charge it while it's off.

really? are you sure? because there are a lot of references to the magldr bug that wont allow charging (or even powering on without pulling the battery) if you try to charge with the phone turned off.

what are you guys fighting about man, they just updated the magldr v1.3 and yeah we can now charge the phone while its off

Wrong x2.
1. No one is fighting.
2. With new magldr, phone turns itself on when plugged in. Charging when off is not possible. The battery requires management which is only implemented in software. It may hold a small charge if you have magldr installed, but it won't charge fully, or properly. Also, it's not likely he's got the new magldr if he's returning back to windows.
Lastly, for the OP, what method did you use to return to winmo? And which winmo rom did you use?

Read? Phone turns itself on if you connect a charger. Phone has NEVER charged while off with nand. This way at least you don't have to pull the battery to turn the phone on.

Just in case: If you on same situation that described on first post try this:
Q: If you completely run down the battery, would you be able to charge it with the phone again?
A: If your battery is dead, press and hold Vol Down and plug in USB cable / charger at same time. Phone will boot into bootloader and charge there just fine. Leave for 20 mins, pull battery, reboot and charge normally. If phone has just run down, plugging in the charger will usually turn it on.
Its found on one NAND thread and goals goes to g.lewarne
Actually i was on same situation and this helped on first try.
check the connection between battery and phone , the metal things i mean.
Perhaps, it is off the subject, but...
Poster #1: why do you want to get rid of this beautiful phone?
Just curious...
ok i bought another phone and i took out the charged battery from it and put it in the bricked HTC and it does nothing. now i know it was almost reverted back and i think the battery ran down but Iam not completely sure but maybe it could have been in the reverting software i used and maybe it just like lock up or something cause at that point you couldnt see the battery indicator. now i guess ill just have to sell on ebay for parts but it would be cool to try and un-brick it or try and figure it out.
So I posted this issue on the boyppc wp7 rom thread but didn't get a reply at all.
Basically, after moving from Android to WP7 the extended media battery fails to charge. All I get is alternating green and amber lights when attempting to charge the battery.
I've tried the battery on another HD2 using android and it charges fine, tried it on a stock phone and it charges fine. It just doesn't seem to charge on any WP7 rom.
Has anyone else come across this problem? If so, do you have a solution (other than dual booting to android every time i want to charge my phone).
Cheers guys
The battery controller is a known issue with wp7 on the hd2, inshort, extended batteries will not work as expected, you will get batteries not working at all or they will only use the basic 1250mA
Remember we are lucky to even get to try this OS, but it will have bugs on our device

you just emailed HTC to ask them for help on an extended battery for the HD2 running Wp7?
and they told you to update the "firmware" to 1.72
i think there has been some confusion, the battery controller on the HD2 is different than the device this ROM was pulled from, our battery doesnt know what its doing because the drivers dont match the controller.
Run Android from the sd and charge that way, or I've read if you load MAGLDR, put the phone in usb storage, and leave say overnight, the phone will pick up the charge, not tried and tested myself but the android from sd in MAGLDR will definitely work. Pain in the ass I know having to change os but a half decent workaround until something else comes along.

magldr works, you dont need it to be in USB mode, and dont leave it over night, do it for no more than 30 min, that will give you enough to get back in to the OS, its unclear if the battery controller cuts of the charge, doing it for a long period of time "may" create some issues, like a dud battery, phone or a nice wee fire
Haha! Yeah mate, I can imagine a little fire by my bedside keeping me warm at night. It's pretty cold here but I'd rather use a blanket
Thanks for the help guys, I've managed to grab an HD2 with a broken screen to use as a charger. It's got the stock ROM on it so it should charge just fine.
I already posted this in Q&A, but I thought it would get noticed more in this section.
Ok I believe my phone is "Hard Bricked", because it doesn't power up at all. The Green led light will show if i take the battery out and plug it into the computer. This happened as was trying to start the process to unlock my bootloader. I was using RSDlite, loading the "zomgunlock" sbf file, put my phone into rsd mode plugged it in, pressed start and next thing i know it turned off and won't turn back on. Can someone help me?

Hi,
I am a NOOB but was reading another post that had a similar problem. Not sure how to make a link to it.
The issue the other fellow had was that when he plugged in to the USB port it was actually draining his battery rather than charging it.
There are specific drivers on the Moto website that you need for the computer to charge the phone.
The short way around it is to charge at the wall.
The title of the post I am referencing is "[SOLVED] Atrix will not power on, green light flashes, plugged in and.... nothing!" initially posted 24th Feb 2011 last post was today.
If your issue is more complicated than this then I apologise for wasting your time.
Worst case no further harm done.
I'm pretty sure my battery is pretty good atm but I'll try anything to get my atrix working again
That happened to me when I was trying to flash the unlock bootloader for mine. I'm using the Atrix on Orange running on U4_4.2.0. Completely bricked with the same green light but nothing happening. Told Orange and got a new one luckyly, next day!
Yea well im on my second from at&t bcuz of a hardware problem, unless I'm able to get a third one. .i ned to find out how to fix this, and the battery charger method didn't work for me

USB port on a computer won't drain a connected device. Problem there was he was trying to charge a drained battery on USB 2.0 which doesn't supply enough power to charge properly. The solution to his problem was to charge with the proper Motorola AC wall charger.
Yea I know but I tried the fixes anyway since there was no harm
If it's an AT&T phone take it to a repair center and they will replace it if its less than 1 year old. You don't even need the crappy insurance.
I thought it's only me
I have same problem, googled it 2 days ago - noboday else reported it
same problem - flashed the unlock-able boot-loader - phone turn off, and died...
I progressed a bit more - after replacing battery with a fully charged one, just to find out it's not a battery issue - I prepared the "special cable" - pin 4 connected to VCC.
now - my phone does recognize my phone, as "APX". after providing drivers found in google - it now recognized as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices".
it doesn't really help, as RSDlite is still not recognizing it, and using NVflash - i get only errors...
I know - i didn't really helped to solve the problem, as I'm "stuck" with it too, just wanted to share my effort...

I didnt charge my phone for awhile. I recently plugged it back in and now I cant get past magdlr. After the 12345 GOGOGO it restarts endlessly. I can enter the magdlr bootmenu but cannot enter AD recovery. I heard magdlr doesnt allow charging when android isn't booted which is absolutely retarded. I dont have access to another phone to charge the battery or an external charger. Id prefer not to cut off any of my usb cables either. Are there any other solutions?
Or is the battery dead? I check the pins and they all look alright.
You could try to switch to clk but you will have to do it quickly in order to have some battery left and it's risky since it could interrupt the flashing etc.
Or you wait some time and retry after some hours and plug it on when you try next time.

Hey mate, the best bet for you now is to flash a WM ROM. If you already have one in your PC, then you are in good shape to recover your HD2. If not, i suggest you download a suitable one(preferably stock) real quick.I hope your battery level is at least at 40%. Anyway, even if your battery is dead, all is not over. Just find someone with a HD2 or concoct some bull**** to tell your local smartphone repair dealer and get your batt charged. Dont worry,your HD2 will definitely breathe again and you can run Android in it again.All the best
Cheers

Not true. When put in charging the HD2 starts.
You need to go back to stock or install clk. The 50% battery is not a must when flashing. Clk will charge your phone when turned off. Magldr will not. You need to do something quickly to get your battery charged, then you can decide on a from or something else.

could be simply not enough charge to start booting, since there is a large current draw after magldr boots,,,id give the bare wire usb lead a try before reflashing, , if you have a spare usb cable you dont mind destroying. cut the end off, (any uab cable, deosnt have to be for this phone, standard, mini, micro, doesnt matter, ) bare teh red and black and hold red to + and black to - on teh battery for about a minute, , should have enough power to get into booting, and charging starts about halfway through booting.
(course, it might not be that problem, but if you have a spare cable it cant hurt to try)

true, and since you're so full of criticism, how come YOU dint hack a winmo device to load up a custom bootloader into the space where a splashscreen goes to allow all kinds of things to be done to the hd2 , ****ing retard. Hope its bricked.
First, install CLK or flash a WM ROM. Then you can do a full clean installation of Task 29 onwards, including reflashing Magldr. And son, you cannot expect all features to be integrated into Magldr. Most probably, a simple reflash of Magldr should solve your problem, but for now, get your batt charged.

well, i guess you have to try it, then you will be convinced i wouldnt post it if i did not try that procedure before it takes a little longer to charge due to the display. its on during charge. I mean guy has nothing to lose, for me this works.
hehe, i DID try it, lots of people have, and the outcome? some say it does, some say it doesn't.
My own theory is that it does allow some residual charge to build up, by warming the battery if nothing else, making it seem that a flat battery is no longer flat, in the same way that leaving any almost-flat battery for a while,warming it in your hands and such, makes it work a little more, but from the test i ran (admittedly about two years ago), i started with 10% power and left it two hours, when i booted winmo it read 8%.
But as i said, i don't have any delusions that i will convince you (or anyone else, for that matter), its one of those questions that are best left to the individual to try it out.

hmm i know you are one of the guys, whose know what they talk about. It really seems, that for some it works and for some not.
Yesterday i tested it that way:
battery was at 63%, booted into bootloader, waited 45mins, unplugged the cable, and booted into android (cable still unplugged), battery at 74%.
A bit strange, if the heat would add 11% of charge to the battery. But hey, its HD2, never say never and everything is possible (well not really) D
i will test it once again now.. conditions: 75%, connected via usb to pc, not to the charger. I give it 2h. (poor display :/)
after 2 hours of charging in bootloader, my battery is 98% charged. I guess i am one of the lucky guys
@greg17477
With standard charger, works for me too. Maybe if you have an inappropriate charger and display drain all charging current did not work.
hmm interesting, if a water pipe hadn't just burst this morning (i'm on a break, covered in wet plaster and sawdust) id retest it myself, , perhaps i tried it in the pc or something.
I shall certainly start advising people to give it a go from here on out.
well i stand corrected. just shows how things you take for granted aren't always so.
