[Q] HD2 losing charge - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Anyone else have the following problem?
While running Android I plugged in the usb cable and the orange LED came on indicating phone charging. However after a minute or so it will stop charging with the orange LED gone.
Weird thing is sometimes if I wait long enough (10-15 min) the charging will pick up again, however it only happens once in a while.
It may looks like the cable isn't packing enough juice, but it was working fine with SD build, problem only starts after I flashed magldr 1.3 and moved onto a NAND build (DesireZ).

Possibly try re-installing the same nand and see what happens..backup before handhand

I've updated to latest version of DesireZ NAND rom, right after booting into Android the led starting blinking green and amber, after some research it indicates either the phone overheat or the battery can't be charged.
I immediately swapped back my original HTC battery and problem gone. So I guess it was all because of a faulty replacement battery.

My phone sometimes does the same when I use a charger that is not giving the phone enough power

I got the same prob here. With the origional battery and a replacement one. The only way i can get the battery to charge is to take it out and ust the docking station that i got as the phone will not even charge when docked.
My battery widget say that the battery is overheated but its cold.
Sort of re-installing it again does anyone know why.

[Q] [SOLVED] Battery drains while in charger

Dear ppl,
When i put my HD2 into the wall outlet = charger (220 volt, i live in Holland, Europe) it fully loads to 100%, but when it reaches it stops charging and starts draining my battery like the phone wasn't in the charger. I connected my phone at 80% in the charger. I went to sleep, when i woke up the battery was only 50% how can this be?
Will a rm /data/system/batterystats.bin solves this problem? Or is tis only for ppl who's phone won't charge the full 100? I have the same problem with MDJ Froyo Sense Revo 1.5. I never had this problem with the build MDJ revolution 2.3 but it effected the 2.3 build last night to
Android build: MDJ FroYo Sense Revolution v.1.6 [kernel: MDJ S3.1]
WinMO Build: ChuckyROM GTX lite
Radio: 2.15.x.x.x
Can anybody help me?
------------------------------
The malfunction was:
With my own battery when i connect it to the charger the lightning icon appears but the batteryicon isn't moving, so its not loading. With my friends battery the batteryicon is moving, so it my battery that is defective.
Sounds to me like your battery might be deffective. Try to remove to battery stats.bin... If it still does it, get a new battery
Okay, did a rm batterystats.bin and i will see what happens if i go the sleep and put the phone in the charger. I ain't the only one with this problem. Some ppl in the MDJ's threads have the same ****.. so i don't think my battery is defective.
It did not help anyone got any ideas??

Des no1 have any other ideas at all????
Experienced the problem too this night. Had 42% left, linked the phone to the charger and had 14% left this morning.
Running the latest [email protected] with the 2.12.50.02_2 radio and 2.08HSPL.
Rebooting the device fixed the problem, but I have no idea what the reason for it was...
Or maybe ,
this happens when you use USB extenders, connect directly ( if you're actually using them)
Try booting in Windows Mobile, then go to Settings, All Settings, System, Power, and be sure the box isn't checked. It says "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC."
I have no idea if this would affect charging ability when the phone's running Android, but I have had my phone stop charging when this was checked if I was using an off-brand charger in Windows Mobile.
When i turn the phone off and insert the charger then my phone charges. Cuz when i boot my phone i see the percentage has gone up... Is my battery defective of is it my phone?
Hmm i installed the new 3.14 official htc rom and i deleted Excellent Boat Loader 2.0. Now when im in Andoird and WinMO the phone charges again. I noticed the problem started when i started to use EBL 2.0 cooked in with chuckyrom. I will charge the phone evernight and hopefully the problem wont appear again!
Still the same **** is it my battery or my phone?
you got another battery to try out??
With my own battery when i connect it to the charger the lightning icon appears but the batteryicon isn't moving, so its not loading. With my friends battery the batteryicon is moving, so it my battery what is defective.

[Q] [NAND] How to charge an empty battery?

NAND is a new experience with HD2 but what if the battery gets empty?
Mine won't recharge.
The LED lights orange but there is no recharge.
Seems like the devs have forgotten this very important thing...
Any ideas?

Thanks, but the phone is off (battery is completely empty)...
Orange light is on but it does not charge...
Pull your battery out and also the plug. Wait one minute. Put in the adapter first, let it charge for 3 minutes, then startup the device. Pls do and report back

With the phone off it should just charge, magldr doesn't load until turned on so its not nand related
Are you using usb charger or mains?
Ok, thanks. I will test it.

You tell me if I'm wrong but he's trying to charge his phone witch has no power the phone is off and it won't charge so how is that nand related?
If it is a battery that has not been used for a LONG time then you must "shock" it to be able to charge it again. Use a standard 9V alkaline battery and connect the +, - poles to the HTC battery +, - poles respectively using 2 wires - do that for 30 to 60 seconds. Then put the HTC battery back in the phone.
WARNING: Do NOT connect the 9V alkaline battery to the phone. Only to the HTC battery which you have removed from the phone.
Lol same thing happen to me yesterday i charge the phone for 10-15 mins then unplug the phone and pull battery then start the phone once completely in android replug it. I think dft said it was a known problem for nand to not start sometime when plug in although it only happen to me when I'm completely drained.

its a bug caused by magldr believe me
its already a known problem.
you wont get charging issues with winmo rom (yes, while off)
phone wont turn on

I'll take your word for it he's probably fixed it by now anyways
Charging while phone is off is buggy for me since I installed MAGLDR.
For example sometimes orange light bulb freezes turned on even i unplug the cable, until I pull the battery.
Firsty I thought that the problem is impossible to be caused by magldr, but now lots of people with magldr installed are experienced battery charging problems ... interesting.
--
PS: Charging on Android was also always buggy for me since the first HD2-Android release.
Some of the problems (randomly happens):
1- Charging stops when it hits to %90
2- Battery level jumps from %90 to 100% while charging (according to the JuicePlotter app, it draws battery graph by time)
I'm using TMOUS HD2 and tried every single Android build since the first release.

I have reproduced this case several times,
but no, I don't have magldr installed,
only winmo and SD android.
I presume this is the bug of HD2 in general, that it won't charge when the battery level is 1% or bellow. Several occasions the phone was shut down during the sleep. Woke up and plug the charger and it always gives me orange-dim-green-dim-red-dim and so on,,, (note that this is in WinMo) and after turned the phone on, it stops charging and 15 seconds after booting, it shut off.
what I always do when I encounter this is performing battery cycles reset.
or,,, just uninstall the battery, wait for 10-30 seconds, re-install the battery, and with the phone off, charge the phone using wall charger.
These are the dangers playing with ROMS people. The rom controls vital functions of the hardware, including the way the system charges. This is a serious flaw that must be addressed immediately, and imo should not have been released if known about. The new territory of nand builds could even brick our phones permanently. I wouldnt mess around without reading reviews first. Android devs here have been quick to release builds overnight because they know it's just running off the SD card and can always be wiped back to winmo. Not anymore, these builds need SERIOUS testing first before being released to the general public.
This is caused from NAND Magldr.
If you have a cable plugged into your phone, either wall charger or USB, it will freeze when the phone shuts down.
Solution!!
Dont have the cable plugged in while powering down android.
If your LED stays orange after unplugging, pull your battery for 3 seconds and start again, it will only do this upon shutdown with some kind of cable plugged in.
This has never happened before Magldr.
This is a big issue... I dont know when Devs Team is gonna look into this and fix it...
Would it brick my phone?
No it won't brick your phone...how I solved it...discussed a couple days ago, here...

Phone restarts once drained whilst charging

Hello
Once ive completely drained the battery, and i got to plug my hd2 WP7 in from a wall plug, it automatically switches on.
Then, it goes through MAGLDR and the boots WP7 onto the welcome screen, then restarts back to MAGLDR again!
So what i have to do, is leave it on the magldr screen for a few minuites and wait for it to charge up a little before starting WP7.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have checked BatteryTool whilst plugged in and on 30 second test, i get between 392 and 465.
Is this typical? this is whilst in the wall and the screen on.
Cheers!
p.s just looked at the charger, and its supposed to be outputting 5v DC and 1200mA
Same behavior here.
Seems that after x restarts also is capable of loading wp7 tough.
I run into the same problem. If you let it hang in MAGLDR, even on the first boot, to let it charge up some, then it can boot on the first round. For some reason it doesn't boot if you plug it in when the phone is off; does it not charge in this situation? I am yet to actually bust out a multimeter
The new magldr being developed supposedly fixes that. We all get that issue.
HD2 does it even without modifications. It seems it happens when it doesn't have enough charge to boot all the way into the OS so it reboots forever. As homeworld1031tx says, leave it on magldr screen for a few minutes which should let it get enough juice to boot properly.
aaah, glad to know im not the only one having this issue!
It becomes even more of a problem when your using a car charger.
I guess we will just have to waitt for the next MAGLDR
another one to watch out for, and that was what i thought you was going to say from your title
is that if you charge the phone whilst the red light blinks, it will not charge!
From what ive noticed this can happen from one of two ways, firstly is that you get the phone to hot, it seems to have some kind of thermal cut out, the second way is to run the battery right down low, it seems to get confused sometimes and wont let you charge even within windows. Infact the battery monitor program can sometimes show you a negative value for the charge left in the battery
In fact it almost discharges the device, The battery is a real pain in the arse, my advice to you is get an external charger cuz the other thing with using MAGLDR and The bootloader to charge is that it messes up your clock, an if you get a bunch of txts whilst its messed up it can be a pain in the arse to find them!
This isnt likely to get completely fixed guys (the Magldr issue fix is slightly different and wont fix everything), to try an make the best of a poor situation, i find a nice cradle with an Aux charge slot on it and a spare battery works wonders.

[Q] Rebooting after dead battery.

Ok i don't know what's going on with this. I have been running a rom for a while on here, not sure which one, but this seems to happen with any Rom i've tried. But when the battery dies and i try to go to recharge it, it just keeps rebooting when it tried to load windows. . Once in awhile i have gotton it to go thru by unplugging it right before it goes into windows and then repluging it up when windows starts. But even that isn't working today.
Any ideas as to what to do to get it to charge properly?
Hi
I have an other experiens with dead battery. When my HD2 was dead I tryed to charge it but the red light indicating that´s charging didn´t get on. I red somewhere in this forum that when using current MAGLD 1.3 you must use external charger to charge the battery when dead but hopfully this will be corrected in future MAGLD. Reacently at work when I didn´t have my external charger with me my battery/HD2 died. I pulled in the usb charger and left so whitout the red light. After 1 hour the HD2 came alive and rebooted 2-3 times and I pulled the usb-charger and battery out. I pulled the battery back into my HD2 and it started as usual and I continued charging the battery full.
I think HD2 battery is charging even when the red light is off and it behaves strange when it cames alive. Try to pull out and in the battery and start the HD2. If it keeps rebooting I think you must try to hard reset WP7 (in magld when wp7 starts booting the 12.. is displayed hold down both upp and down volumkeys and when the text about rebooting is displayed push the volum down) this vill erase all your settings so be aware. Good luck
Hold down red/end key boot into magldr and let it sit charging for a few minutes. You will NOT see the charging light.
Boot as normal into wp7 and you will have enough juice to let it start charging.
I have the same problem when I use my HTC charger. But when I use my Samsung charger (came with my Galaxy Ace) HD2 boots normally. Also I noticed that when I use the phone on HTC charger battery keeps droping. I think it uses more power then the HTC charger charges. With my Samsung charger i dont have this problem.
I tried charging in MAGDLR menu, but that only drained the battery more. (v1.13) I had to buy a universal charger ($4) to get my phone working again.
Any idea why this hasn't been fixed in MAGDLR yet? Or might there be an alternative?
For now, I think I will program Tasker to shutdown the phone at 10% battery...

problem in HD2 battery charging !

two days before i try change my hd2 rom with sd android.
it way very good and my phone boot up normally with android and working fine.
when i try to setup some application on new os my phone hang up and i have to eject the battery to restart the phone.
after that my phone restart with WM6.5 and everything seems ok but when i plug my phone to charger, it dosen't charge the phone and notification led blink in orange/ green color.
can somebody halp me?
wm6.5 might be the problem
are u running the sd build with the stock rom?
most of the problems do occur due to an incompatible wm6.5 rom
i suggest to try the android build with energy rom in wm6.5 rom development
and use radio 2.15.50.14 from the radio thread
ur charging problem might be solved..
further u can increase ur android's performance by creating an sd-ext partition(max1gb)... but it's just optional...
green / orange flashing led often points to problem battery.
Also look very carefully at the three battery pins, check for bends / cracks.
i change my phone os to android by nand method and the battery charge fine but it discharge about half a day with 30 min talk time.
i reflash it with official 3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14 file and the same problem occur.

It sounds like Samsamuel maybe right and it is your battery going bad.
Check your phone battery temperature. Flashing green/red means also overheating.
[edit] it's your battery then, get a new battery and see if the problem is still there. I had the problem in android where I had a fake chinese battery and it just remained at 0%, and would only charge on cradle charger. If you want to keep the bad battery for a while try to using an external charger and see if it charges it better.
