Hi guys i have been having a very strange problem with my Legend, it only ever charges to 80% no matter how long you keep it on charge!
I factory reset it and it still kept doing the same thing, so i took it in for repair and they updated my firmware then factory reset and said it worked, i came home put my apps back on and now still the same problem!
I have found that if i take the battery out of the phone overnight then put it back in it will fully charge and the green light will light up, or if it hasnt charged overnight and i turn the phone off then take the battery out and put it back in it will register that its fully charged!
I turn off wifi and 3g and everything while i charge it so i cant seem to understand whats causing this?
any help would be appreciated!
Cheers
maybe your battery is corrupted... try to replace the battery and see if any changes appear
my battery is fine, i have already tryed with another one!
any other ideas as to why???

Have you tried resetting your battery stats? That could be an issue. If you have root, launch ClockworkMod recovery and find the "reset battery stats" option. Use it and try a full charge.
If that doesn't work then perhaps something in your phone's hardware is borked. If that's the case you should send for a replacement if you can.

have you checked that your backup battery, the one built into the phone is fully charged before you take out the battery. (check in your settings menu under power)
i have replaced mine from a totaly broken xda (picked it up on ebay) as mine had failed and would no longer hold a charge for more than a few seconds.
i also had major probs with a hi powered battery it kept failing for some reason, totaly losing charge in a mater of hours on standby and this kept hard resetting my phone. so i no longer use the larger batteries.
The backup battery is fully charged
After have taking off the main battery about five minutes and putting on a fully charged one the back up battery might shows the power percentages about 25%.But It almost takes me about 30 seconds to change a another new battery,it's not possible the backup power's problem. I change battery exactly the same way when I do it.That's just too weird it sometimes hard reset and sometimes just doesn't.

The backup battery is fully charged even after having take off the main battery for three minutes!so there is nothing to do with the backup power.
I change battery exactly the same way everytime.Why just sometimes it gets hard restted and sometimes it doesn't.It makes me wonder.
Is this eda ii a broken one?Maybe I should turn it back to the repaireman's house for a few weeks?you know how bad China's services are ,they never do things that customers need.
Thanks your heartkinded help anyway

Thanks the same way though your idea seems not where the problem at.
like i mentioned it could just be because one of your batteries has an intermitant fail, as i said i had the same problem with a hi capacity battery, it somtime hard reset my phone for no reason.
just try buying a couple of new batteries, or lable your batteries and see if its only on one of them that the HR occurs.
There have been many occasions where the phone would go into hibernate, then wouldn't come back on when i hit the button. So i would remove the battery, turn it back on and put in my passcode, but it would reset itself to the original factory date. What ,if anything, can i do to fix this problem?
Nothing. The time and date is powered by the battery, and if that either dies or is removed, the date and time reset to factory defaults.
You are right ashasaur!!!
The last time I saw a backup battery, was on a HP iPAQ jejejej the backup battery keeps the clock and date... but now.... I think your problem is the resets and no wakes up! so.... this must be a battery problem maybe is almost dead... try to buy a new one...
well this has happened twice today, I've seen on the net in other places that a rom update may also help this concern. Any ideas where I might start? Also when I checked the battery after the last time it read 82 % so I figured I was good, I took some contact cleaner and cleaned the battery contact points and the battery itself. I'll see later..
Thanks for the quick responses, I had thought there may have been a small watch type battery inside so thanks for clearing up that idea as well.
As an addendum to this the phone is now stuck on the cingular opening and it wont do anything unless I pull the battery and start allover, even when the wall charger is attached with the battery I can only get the charge indicator once. This stinks....
This is the problem, i have a p3600 and the battery won't charge anymore, when i put it on charge the orange light blinks and the icon onscreen says the phone is plugged and the battery is charging, but the moment i unplug the battery goes to the charge level it had before.
i had the phone with standard factory settings, just the official upgrade to activate the gps and this started happening, i read some hints online that said to make a hard reset, i tried and it worked, the phone was working alright again and the battery was loading as normal.
I then tried to update with a cooked rom (lasagna full) and the upgrade went perfectly, except for the fact that the battry problem has returned, i tried to ard reset again with no luck. the problem is still there... what can i do except flashing again to factory settings ??

Try a new battery
So after a long fiasco of installing an old GB leak before installing the latest version, to running into force close loops and freezing at the M logo. So finally i reflashed everything and rebooted and bam! i finally got 596 to work. But i noticed that my battery logo had a question mark and that it basically wasn't recognizing my battery. I thought maybe a simple reboot will fix it, went in cwm and flashed the 596 deodexer and rebooted. Got into the lock screen when i noticed it immediately said Connect Charger. When i unlocked the screen after about 10 seconds it went black and my phone wouldn't turn on. If i connect it to pc the led flashes blue for a second meaning the battery is dead but with the battery not being recognized it cannot charge. If i connect it to a wall charger it loads up the M logo and goes to the battery charging screen, when you completely drain your phone and need to wait til its 5% to turn on, but again has a question mark in it. I don't have any external chargers either. Whats my best course of action? Do i have to go out and buy a new battery...? All helps appreciated.
im very sorry about bumping my thread.., but my phones just sitting here useless and its very aggravating and extremely inconvenient so once again, any and all help is appreciated please gentlemen(ladies).
If you can boot even for a second, boot into clockwork recovery and find the option to wipe battery stats. I would try that.
Also, even with a charge, booting while plugged into AC causes it to show the charging screen. Unplug it, turn on your phone, and in the middle of booting THEN plug it in.

Thank you for the reply, ill try wiping the batter stats asap might have to end up ghetto rigging a charge into it. Ive heard that car chargers/external chargers will still charge it, is this correct? I would love to try your second idea except for again i don't even have a charge anymore. i tap the lock button and the led flickers blue for half a second, which if im not mistaken means the battery is completely dead. While i guess its always possible, never really expected my phone to just randomly stop realizing there's a motorola batter inside of there.
Edit: also if im not mistaken i believe that i had tried to plug the charger into after/during boot up and it still says its not a certified battery or whatever the message is and refuses to charge.
Not entirely sure about the car charger idea. It might work. Kind of skeptical on that if it won't even charge when connected to a computer. You could always purchase a new battery, maybe the extended. If it doesn't work just return it. If you don't want to purchase one, I possibly could ship you an extra one just to borrow and try to see if it's a battery or phone issue.
If you have a friend with another droid x you could try borrowing his or her battery to see if the actual battery is the issue without buying one...
It sounds to me like the battery stats on your phone got corrupted when flashing the new software and need to be cleared, which as said before can be done in CW recovery. There is also an app called BatteryCalibration which will help the situation also after you actually get booted up.
Hope this helps!

I have actually seen the app before, at the time didnt really notice what it did but i understand a bit more now. If any of the actual charging methods work ill definitely try that. Might just have to hook it up to a split usb for a while to get a decent charge.

Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it. Ill try the car charger i suppose, wont hurt. Worst case I do actually have a friend with a DX so i can see whats up with that. Ive been meaning to pick up the extended for a while now just never really got around to it, guess this might give me an excuse. thanks for the offer to send out a battery though
No problem. I've got a bunch of unused stock batteries for various phones from all the extended battery upgrades we've gotten.
In any case, if you can't wipe battery stats, trying a friends battery or something would be the next best thing.
What I would do if you borrow a battery, if it STILL shows the question mark then it is a phone problem. Boot into CWM and wipe battery stats while using your friends battery, then try your own.
Even if your friends battery works without giving the question mark, wipe stats anyways and maybe it will stop doing it for yours.
Best of luck to you with this!

Great news gentlemen! so after trying the usb split usb method to charge my phone, the first time it didnt work. i just figured i didnt have the wires pushing on the battery poles enough so i retried it. Ended up forgetting it was plugged in and about 30-45 minutes later took it off. plug her in and my phone started up, good signs so far. Finally my os loaded and lo and behold, there's my battery showing green! So i quickly throw it on my wall charger and its charging too. Wiped my battery stats just in case anyways and reflashed everything. Got 596 loaded up and running and deodoxed. After trying to install a battery mod i got a few boot loops but after a wipe didn't work luckily i made a 596 nandroid before trying it. Flashed back to that and everything loaded up fine. Cant thank you guys enough for the help you've been. making a nandroid once my full set up is back to normal haha
Hello guys,
Please help me figure out how can i boot or at least make my battery charging LED turn on...
Scenario: I leave my phone downloading some files while charging at 5%. But then when i got back, my phone is already dead... Can't boot up, that's maybe my battery get drained... I have tried reviving my battery using a clip charger, tested it with a AC/DC Tester and it shows its already fully charged.. But then when i get back to my phone, it won't even start, can't go to the recovery, or even no light even if it's plugged.... Please help...
Thank you
Were you flashing anything at the time or just downloading some files?
If you were just downloading general files then no harm should have been caused if the battery just died.
I would advise that you just leave it charging in the wall for a small period of time and hope for the best, if that fails find somebody with the same phone and try your battery in their phone/their battery in your phone and see if it's a firmware issue or a battery corruption.
Let me know if anything else crops up.
