hey xda friends,
i have a small problem with my batterie /charger.
it is charging very slowly i am running cm7 so i plug it in very often yesterday at 6 pm it was almost flat so i plugged it in but keep on chatting and surfing/reading so battery wasn't gaining and it kept reading 5% (same as when i plugged it in) i thought well it's just usb so i use a lot of power and it keeps it's level
but when i got to bed (1am ) it let my wallcharger do the task
today when i got up(6am) i looked at my phone and it only read 80% (before i deplugged it) perhaps somebody knows the problem (battery /phone) i have just original parts (charger and battery) i am running cm7 for a while (yesterday i just switched to 2.3.3) never had this problem before....
i tried
power off
power on
pull battery
wipe battery stats
....
thank you for your help
Could it be you have something draining the battery heavily?
try a full wipe then reflash

no new installed apps and unplugged it drains normally
Pull the battery, and with the battery out hold the power button for a good 30 sec, on most hardware these days this is how you usually hard reset the power management unit. Try it and lemme know how it goes.
i dunno if this will work for SGS but i guess you have nothing to lose.

thank you for your help unfortunatly it didn't work ordered a new batterie will report
push it real good nanana
if the battery drains normally.. .. then perhaps it's the charger itself (???)
I was seeing something like this but not as drastic. Tried a different wall plug and things were better.

i tried it at two spots but with same results on both outlets my desire hd charges nornally
i think it could be the battery
i get a new one on monday i will report
I have a similar problem. My phone also never charge to 100 percent. It reaches to max 85-90 percent and if i continue to charge it starts discharging. If i let it to charge till morning, when i disconnect the charger i read 65-70 percent. I have another battery but not original, it behaves more weird. Dont know if the battery is problem.

I have tested with the wallcharger. It charges to 100 %. And the phone battery drainage is normal. Like 2 days.
Remaining possibilities.
1) Firmware problem. Reflashed the phone with the new firmware. I will see if it changes anything. Not likely though.
2) Hardware problem. The phone's charging usb part damaged and there is some kind of disconnection.
3)May be bootloader got damaged??? Even if the phone closed, it doesn't charge to full capacity.
Edit: The problem seems to be the second one. While flashing with odin it failed many many times. I was just scared that the phone was brick.
Then i realised that the connection with odin is not stable. I press with my finger the the usb charging cable to left and right and I have seen that
the connection comes and goes. After that i have succeeded to flash the phone while pressing to the mini-usb part with my finger. it seems that
that while charging also the connection is not stable so it never fully charges.

Guys pls help..I have this problem,that when I'm charging my trinity,it couldn't reach 100% of charging (full charge) instead was stuck to 70%.eventhough i charge it overnight.I'm thinking if it is a battery prob or the charger. i am using the originally supplied charger & battery.
Thanks in advance...
Have you tried powering the unit off, removing the battery for, say, 15 seconds, then refitting it and rebooting?... Check the battery level after reboot?... Then retry charging again?...
Maybe a full discharge might help "reset" the above problem too?...
I'm not sure, but I think the Trinity battery management is quite dependant on so called "coulomb counting" and I reckon sometimes it goes a bit wrong.

i tried all your suggestion bro,after rebooting,the battery meter increased 10%,tried to recharge,but still can't reach full.i tried to turn off my device then charge it,this time it goes upto 90%.it's a good sign but,charging while my phone is turned on is better right?i have no computer around,maybe i'll try to charge thru USB later..if it went ok,maybe i'll buy a new charger..thanx loopyloo for that sound advice..

Try battery callibration procedure!
The actual standalone charger (if that's what you're referring to) has no intelligence in it to speak of. Battery charge monitoring/status will be an integral function to the phone itself using dedicated h/w.
Something's not quite right with your kit somehow. Maybe the battery has gone a bit wrong (could be replaced - how much use has it had?)... Rather that than the phone itself, in which case it'll need repair.
You can try tnyynt's suggestion of Battery Calibration. Basically this requires you to totally discharge the battery (I suggest thru normal use of your phone!) then when it shuts down "cos battery is flat" reboot the phone into its bootloader screen (power down, then press and hold Power & Camera buttons until Tri-colour screen is displayed)... Then just leave the phone until it powers off of its own accord.
This may take a few hours (I did mine recently and it took @4hrs!) but the battery should be as discharged as its possible to get by that point...
And if you're lucky, it might just sort your problem out when you next recharge!
Good luck dude!!!

thanx again LoopyLoo,you made this procedure (battery callibration) clear to me,on how to do it.will try this procedure and will report asap the result.hope it works (fingers crossed),and hope it's not an internal phone prob.
Thanx Bro!!:>
Let me know how you get on.
I'm a little baffled as to why you have problems with your friends charge too but not USB???...
battery callibration not worked...
I'm sorry to report that after 3 times of trying the battery callibration method,my trinity still doesn't reach its 100% capacity of charging thru the standalone charger..but mysteriously charge a 100% with USB charging..I'm still not really sure why this happened..maybe will try to see a mobile technician for PPC..anyways,thanx for all your suggestion..will report ASAP after going to a service center..
My 2 months old Touch HD doesn't charge the battery anymore.
If i plug the power cord, the notification led turns red for 5-7 sec., then it turns off, and the battery meter shows no charging.
I can sync it with PC but runs again on battery, even the check box (under the power meter) is unchecked.
The only way to charge the battery, is to let the battery drains out (the phone turns itself off) and remove the battery from phone for few minutes.
I have the original ROM 1.57.831.1 (47324) WWE from 04/08/09 and i tried one hard reset ("clear storage" from settings).
Does anyone know how to fix this ?
I'm verry disappointed. Now it does'nt charge even i remove the battery.
I think i'll try the warranty service.
No other suggestions ?
Are you sure it is the problem of the HTC HD? I got hte same problem. But because I charged my second battery which was newly bought from the official website HTC UK. My original battery works well. So I returned my second battery.
Try another battery.

yep, same here...
my girlfriend and me, we own a HD, pretty much the same issue...
My device frist stated "unkown main battery status" and has been only willing to charge the battery while switched off and connected to PC (charger doesn't work).
My grilfriend's one now refuses to start at all.
One thing for sure - its not battery related since my fully recharged battery doesn't make her device starting.
I sometimes pulled out the battery without swichting the device off, or left it running for days before reseting it...i guess that might have triggered the problem...
gotta send it in, hopefully they don't mind my custom rom!

I had this problem to.... Change of USB cable did the trick! So.....it's possible that your USB mini cable is dead. Try another USB if you haven't tried it yet.
Thank you all.

I don't think it's the cable because i let the phone charging on my desk and suddenly, after few minutes (sometimes 1 min, sometimes 60 min) it stops charging (without touching/moving the cable),

Well, in your case, for sure its not battery related.
After i left the battery out of the phone for 6 hours, it start charging again for 45 min then, the notification led start blinking red and green. After 2 minutes, the led turns off and i started the phone with 40% battery life.
It's driving me crazy and i don't know what to think!
I start to believe it's a battery problem but i'll ask for service opinion too, since i payed a lot of money for this.
Solved
My handset was repaired in service.
The problem was hardware related, generated by malfunction of switching power alimentation mechanism to motherboard.
i drained my hero completely now when i plug my charger into the amber light blinks and the device won't turn on or charge like i said the amber light is blinking not solid please help!
im guessing its blinking because its low. have you tried pluggin it into the pc usb slot? tried another cable? maybe its just your one charger
how did you drain it? were you tethering and it got hot?

Try another charger, i had two chargers go bad on me.
i ran the battery down while i was talking on it.
and now it just does that.. im very depressed about it lol!
let it charge for a while until it has enough power to complete a boot cycle.
i tried this, it sat overngiht for 7 hours and stil ldoes the same thing..
Tried pulling the battery and putting it back in after a minute or two?
absolutely man i've tried everything i've known..
Just leave it plugged in with the blinking amber. It should charge up enough to turn solid amber within 15 minutes.
that's the thing i left it plugged u for 7 hours and still flashing amber
wow... don't know what to tell you. call sprint about that
Have you tried booting w/o the battery into recovery and resetting the battery stats?
I would definitely try what Biggz said above. I do recall hearing once that the type of battery the Hero uses isn't meant to be completely drained, and that's why it shuts off before it runs completely down to 0. You may have messed up your battery or something. I think the easiest thing to do would be to call Sprint.
Sounds like a problem ipods have lol..when the battery completely drains it,it sometimes doesnt charge up..n if it does it takes forever....try a different battery.if that dont work,take it to sprint..thats weird.keep us posted on what they tell u.....most likely the battery overheated.id probably take the battery out meanwhile i take it to sprint,just in case the battery leaks; it wont mess up the phone.
Yeah, Lithium-Ion batteries aren't meant to be deep cycled (completly draining them and then trying to charge them). It can shorten the batteries lifespan, or kill it altogether.

You can't boot into HBoot, Fastboot, or recovery without the battery. Tried it on mine.
battery issue
I've run into this issue like 4 times. Its one of my biggest issues w the hero. I go to bed w a low battery warning plug it in then i wake up to a paper weight.
Has anyone found a good answer? my phone charged 7hrs and I've been pulling the battery on off plug unplug for about 2 hrs now. I've already ordered a new battery but that wont help me today.
Anyone find a fix? I'm up for any and all suggestions: eek:
Hey guys,
I noticed this yesterday my Nexus 4 (running PA 3.6, franco milestone 1) shut down at 30% charge. I went home and charged it (it showed 0 when I started charging it) to 100% continuously.
Today too the phone shut down when it was around 32-31% and now charging has again started from 0%.
What could be the issue?
I have tried the battery calibration app even though I know it does nothing.
Any ideas?

I have been flashing nightlies merrily on the Nexus4, never had to recalibrate the battery, though it sounds like your does need that. (I had a Desire HD before this, and it was very sensitive to errors in battery calibration)
How about if you charge the phone fully then either reflash the ROM or flash a nandroid backup you've made? Either of those options will overwrite the battery stats file - if that's the problem.
It could be that the chip in the battery is malfunctioning, ie a new battery could be needed, but that sounds much less likely

Okay I'll try reflashing the ROM when I'm at a 100%, I know deleting the batterystats.bin file doesn't do anything but I did that anyways yesterday, but it seems it didn't fix the calibration issue.
Any other ideas I could try while I charge my phone to a 100%?

Hi, @paul c, I would like to inform you that my phone's discharging just fine (charged it to a 100% last night and it's currently at 48%, I didn't reflash my ROM but I did reboot it once. I also haven't charged it since then)
Could you tell me what's the minimum and maximum battery voltage? I am guessing that the max voltage is around 4200mV but what's the minimum? Also, can we calculate the REAL battery %age from the voltage that is displayed by apps like DashClock? If we can do that could you tell me how/what formula we use to do that?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions and I would really appreciate any help here !
Thanks!

Hi,
I was inspecting the battery's voltage/charge the entire day today and I realized that at around 36% the voltage went around 3000mV (3100mV, Nexus 4's battery is rated at 3800mV and it maxes at around 4200mV). After that when I plugged it back in and turned it on it started charging from 0%.
I think the battery is at fault.
Is there any fix for this which does not involve replacing the battery?
Thanks!

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I tried charging through the night and then discharging it completely and charging it completely again. I also tried deleting the batterystats file (even though I know it doesn't do anything)
So what do you suggest I should do? Get the phone replaced or get the battery changed?
I live in India and the phone is from Canada, so replacing the phone will take some time but I can get the battery replaced for around $20
Also my nexus is also showing +ve mA values while it's not charging, and the values are absolutely crazy, +268, +168, +1171 (in batter monitor widget)
Please tell me what I should do.

Okay, I got my battery replaced, drained it to 0% (after a full charge) and going to charge it completely by the travel adapter that I purchased from the service center.
Attached are the pics of my old battery, I don't know if you can see it but it's swollen. If I recall I used a nexus s' charging cable to charge the phone from a computer and it was charging like AC (my kernel usb fast charge was OFF) and it also never detected my phone in the explorer (Windows)
My problem's solved now, it was a battery issue for me. I upgraded to PA 4.3 in the process by the way
So I guess I'll stick to my regular micro USB cable and charge via the travel adapter whenever possible, thank you everyone for your inputs!

My phone's battery level is stuck at 35% and doesn't change on charging it over and over again. Left the phone charging last night and it was still charging at 35% in the morning. However if there's a drop below 35% level it shows on the screen but again charging the phone drains complete battery within a minute or two. The phone gets switched off and starts charging from 0. On switching it on sometimes it again starts draining the battery fast or stuck at some another battery level. Please help what should i do.
I tried reflashing rr rom freshly but it didn't solve the issue. Twrp recovery shows the same battery %.
Screen recorded as below.

Charger or phone faulty, either requires exchange under warranty, take it you are using cable and charger supplied with phone.
Do a factory reset just in case something has screwed up the OS, trying to charge with the phone switched off usually will confirm whether hardware or software problem, ie will not charge when off says its hardware.

I left the phone on charge last night in switch off mode but the battery level shows only 10% in the morning. Internally however it's charged 100% but the level is not showing correctly. Also since I've unlocked the bootloader, the device isn't under warranty.
what a weird battery behaviour!!
Whenever I start charging my phone using stock charger, it drains the battery within minutes instead of charging. Once the battery is completely drained out the battery starts charging from 0% and after a full night of being plugged into the charger it shows partially charged at different level when it's switched on even though it's full.
Is there no way to troubleshoot this or the right way to calibrate the battery?

Although I think it's a coin toss if it will help, try another charger and a factory reset... Moto service will want you to do a factory reset before sending it in anyway.

My phone's battery level is stuck at 35% and doesn't change on charging it over and over again.

Almost the same with different battery percentage.
My G5 plus is under amazon warranty so I'm fine but I would like to know if there is a way to solve by myself and would like to know what the hell happend.
Have you solved this battery issue?
Thank you.

Not yet, only solution is getting the battery replaced. Now I've learnt to live with it, since the mobile needs to be restarted after every charge and the % gets stuck at some random value despite being fully charged.

I'll ask for replacement after Christmas holidays. Thank you very much.
I do also have the same problem. It just started a few days ago and sometimes I'd restart the phone and it will fix it and show the actual percentage been charged. But now that isn't fixing it anymore. However, as mentioned before the battery is actually being charged. So let's say it's stuck in 11% and I charge it for a few hours. Then I can use the phone for hours without going below 11%.. but how annoying when it gets there and all of a sudden you are running out of battery ?
Charging with original charger/cable. Do you guys think it might have to do with the turbopower feature?
Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm still under warranty for two more months. But it's always a pain to deal with warranty, you know no phone for a week or more... It would be nice if it can be fixed without going through warranty.
