I recently had an issue with my battery on my Photon.
I got 70% max charge dropping to 5% in 3-4 hours with simple use.
In plug i often got 0%, when i put off the plug, 5% ->phone OFF
So I decided to go to the HTC service.
In the beggining they told me that the ROM had the problem, it was giving wrong information to battery display.
After they installed the official software, the problem was there again.
They told me that it was a Motherboard problem and it had to be changed for fixxing.
My Question:
Did the ROM caused this problem?
Can this happend because of a wall electricity plug of mine?
If the fault is on the wall plug, what can i do to protect my device?

I don't think it was the ROM.
Do you have the right charger?
Did you try a new battery?

I got the original including charger.
I asked them to see if it is battery fault but it was only the motherboard.

Hi guys,
my beloved qtek 9100 is having some weird behavior since last week: i let my battery drain to 9% and then recharged. The phone would not recharge it, showing a red led. After lurking and learning about this problem on those devices I made a "starter" with three 1.5v batteries and gave the battery the necessary tension to start recharge cycle.
I thought that would be the solution but no: the phone kept stopping recharging at 25% or, the next time, at 75% with no apparent reason. Then, i tried many solutions like directly charging the battery with a cut usb cable, with the stock charger, with powered on phone, powered off phone, etc. No clue.
What leaves me shocked is that the battery, even when at 75%, drops suddenly to 0% after enabling the radio module thus killing the device...
An important note: same behavior with two different batteries...
I'm going nuts...
Problem still unsolved. Today i left the device recharge at 100% (took about 3 hours), detached it and tried a rom downgrade. Obviously it died at 50% of rom upgrade procedure. Sweet...now it's almost bricked, bootloader screen and recovery procedure to be done
What could it be, an hardware failure?
Hi there, same problem here: I have the phone with two batteries, on half a year old, one brand new. The batteries DO charge on another phone, but after a regular charge is gone, my phone never gecharges the batteries. It might be the charger circuit? If not HW, is there any chnce to do some SW stuff?
Unfortunately this thing s just a brock now ...
Bye

It's good to find someone with my very same problem...although i've got no solution, still!
Is there someone out there who knows how much would cost a fix and if it's an hw issue or not? Would it be possible to fix it via DIY?
Thanks in advance
Someone suggested me to test the current output on the main contacts to see if the device is actually supplying power to the battery.
So i plugged the wall-charger on the device, took a multimeter, checked the output: the device is supplying 3.5-3-7 volts. So, i suppose it is correctly charging. Why, then, after a turn-off / turn-on the charge level drops after showing as completed?
Could it be a sw problem, then?
USB voltage is 5v. If you are not getting 5v on the USB plug coming from that charger, then that is probably your problem. Have you tried using a USB cable to plug it into your PC to charge?

Thanks for the hint
I suppose the problem is another...in fact those 4 volts are coming from the battery itself. Pluggin in or out the power plug doesn't make any difference.
I tried taking out the battery and there's no power coming through the main contacts of the phone. Is this the right way to check or should i use some different method?
Thanks again
Last question: is there someone who could show me where the recharge circuit should be on the mainboard? Have you got any information about the ease of a diy repair and about the price / availability of the spare part?
Thanks in advance

Are you using the wall charger or with the PC. Cus you will get more power input from the Wall. As so i dont know the reg key off hand but if you change one thing you can make it so your phone does not charge off the PC. Maybe you have found a new one!

With both the wall charger and the pc usb plug. Checked the registry key and no way, it's ok.
It's really incredible, the total charge cycle takes a couple of hours, like if it were charging regularly, but after unplugging it goes down. It is like if the "carge counter" or similar records the charging, with the battery actually not receiving power.
did you solve your problem yet?

Hi Guys!
I have a problem with my Htc HD2, it doesnt charge! I installed windows phone 7 nand rom to my hd2, so the connection was made and usb cable is charging, have tried it with stock Htc Wildfire. The battery is ok, because i have a battery charger and the battery is charging.
Used Magldr v1.13.
Any help would be appreciated, btw have read several topics,but no solution has found.
I don't see a problem here.
You said it doesn't charge and then you said it charges.
And the battery charges from external battery charger too.
Where is the problem?
Edit:
lol, after reading again and again I finally found your problem. But using correct grammar and correct punctuation would've made this a lot easier
Make sure that the battery pins on your phone are ok, also check the usb socket on your phone and make sure it's not faulty or malfunctioning

reading comprehension ftw.
Anyway, I had a similar problem and I found that it was the pins connecting directly to the battery, the three little ones you see when you pull the battery. Make sure there aren't bent down and smashed too much. You can still get the battery to supply power, but it wont take a charge. Anyway, hope this helps.
I had the same problem, HD2 didn't charge, the orange LED just flashed and battclock reported a temperature of 250°C. Problem was the middle battery connector, it was bent behind the battery and so it had no contact. Remove battery, try to carefully get these three connectors in correct position and try again.
Thank you so much!!!!! I thought my phone was dead then I checked this. You are my hero!!!!
I had the same problem and it was driving me crazy. I tried putting the stock ROM back on, WinMo 7, charging with the computer and USB and nothing worked, I still got the red/green blinking LED and the battery died. I bent the middle pin back to normal and now everything is working as usual.
It works for me
thanks ... joshwake
nice ICS on hd2
My device has the charging icon on the battery picture at the top but the battery level itself isn't increasing. After 4 hours on charge with no use it is still on 13% as it was before I tried charging it. The battery level isn't decreasing when in charge either. The wire itself is a bit broken would the cause the problem and should I just buy a new lead or is it likely to be a problem with the device/ battery ?

Do you mean the charging cable is damaged? If that's the case I would definitely start there and try a different charger first.

had a lot of issues with the original charger cable, it did not connect very well. using another charging cable from my phone solved the issue. btw my charger itself well was overcharged I guess and now I can;t use it anymore. but enough other ones are laying around.
Solved - Battery won't charge
Like many others I've had charging problems with my Nexus 7 since it was almost new. It would intermittently not charge (even though the display indicated it was) or charge very slowly. I tried every suggestion listed in the forums that didn't involve opening the tablet. None of them made any difference. The charging issue gradually became worse until a couple of months ago when the battery wouldn't charge at all while the tablet mocked me with it's cheerful charging indicator.
For my tablet the problem was solved by changing the USB connector in the tablet. It took 20 minutes, cost $10 delivered (on Ebay) and is now working fine.
When I plug my device to charge at night, it was 13% and when I woke up at 11am, it was only 39% and the phone wasn't showing that it's been charged whereas the charger was connected. I had to replug the charger to charge it. And it also happens at other times too. Is there any solution for this? And are other peoples also victim of this problem?

I checked their official forum and quite a lot of people are facing this issue. I guess its a software issue since not all devices can be damaged.

It's still Marshmallow so I don't see a major upgrade and plus, I found that this isn't a issue, it's a safety measure by Qualcomm to ensure that high voltage doesn't damage the device. Just one problem, it doesn't start recharging by itself.
i was having this problem last week after the miui update 7413 global beta,before it every thing was normal, i installed the ampere app from google play, and it said the phone was charging at around 130 to 300 ma; I was horrified about it, and wait for the phone to charge about half and hour, and check the charge level and it gained about 5%, so i restarted it and the phone fix itself, and begin to charge at 800 ma, and latter it reached 1400ma, as its doing right now several days after

. Hi I'm j.srinu my mobile is Redmi 3s .
My mobile is very slow charging problem. iam change the charger ,I used mi 9v 2a fastcharger. This is very good charging my mobile. Problem is solved .I am happy ??
Hi guys,
I own a p8 lite (ALE-L21) variant. Its battery gone dead and I replaced a new battery. Since then when I plugged in the phone (with oem charger 1A) it doesn't show charging. But somehow after I left it plugged in for a while, it has been charged. Then I plugged it out and started to work. The battery drops down like 10 and 5 percent at a time (like 85>70>65>60>50>40>30>20>10). Battery lasts for like a day by normal use.
when I power off the phone and plugged in. It autoboots.
If I restart the phone while plugged in the battery percentage increases. But it never increases than 85%
Is this a result of power ic (hi6361gfc) failure
Can you help me to figure what's the problem.
Thanks...
Similar situation here. Any ideas? Did you fixed it? Cheers

Nope
My degraded OEM battery is the same model but the little board and flex are slightly different, I have been refunded on the new original battery with the no charging behavior the ray appears but disappears right away.
The weird thing is that the first battery charges.
I was trying to figure what's wrong before buying another Huawei battery. I'll just risk it as a last attempt
Did you manage fixing it in anyway? New charging port or battery?
