Hi All.
I posted this here because I believe it to be a software issue with my ROM. I am using the Wildpuzzle 8.0.8, OC to 710Mhz with the circlemod. (and very happy with WP I am too!)
The issue, as the title suggests, is with charging. When I use the AC charger all is fine, but charging via the usb never charges above 82%. This was fine before I upgraded the rom and I have has the rom for a couple weeks an AC gets it to 100% in the right time.
I thought it may be the circle mod just reporting it wrong, but several other battery monitor widgets show the same and the notification LED always shows amber. I have had it plugged in USB for 6 hours charging from 25%, and after 2 1/2 hours it gets to 82%, then stays there.
Anyone any idea whats causing this?
we are same,
strange some one say to thats looks like this a bug from ClockWorkMod Recovery.,.
and don't know that people using other rom have this problem too.
Have you tried just wiping the battery stats?

when will we do wipe batt stats? Ex: Full charge and then make it On clockwork on bootloader mode?
Well, for one thing I am glad its not just me. lol.
This does confuse me though. In simplistic (very simplistic) terms the phone charges from a USB. Why should android or HTC care if its from mains, in-car or PC usb? Is it something to do with current?
Hi guys !
I have a problem, i have flashed my phone with cyanogen but during the flash i haven't enough battery and the phone go off, i charge it with a usb cable with the + and - wire plug on the battery, reflash it with rsd lite in stock rom, but now i have the icon of the battery with a "?" on it, what can i do ? I try flash cyanogen but i have too the icon with a "!" this time. I'm not on guarranty.
Sorry for my english.
Thank's.
If i can't do anything, i should sell it for piece, or can i repair it in a shop ?
Try wiping Battery Stats
Have you tried wiping battery stats in CWM? Do you have another battery to test? I think you may have damaged only your battery as the signs that you mentioned are for faulty battery.
u should check with another battery. Get a replacement somewhere (and maybe a wall charger too)
I have try with another battery but that's the same problem ...
Download the "Battery Calibration" by NeMA on the market (i think that it already comes in CM), can the app show your battery level?
You always charge your battery with this "wall charger"? Does the phone charge the battery or it does nothing when plugged to the charger or PC's USB?
Yes battery calibration see the battery level.
No it didn't charge when the phone is pluged on my pc with usb...
I read from a forum somewhere that "!" appears when a non original motorola battery is inserted. Maybe some components in your battery got fried when you wired the battery directly from the usb hence the phone detected the original battery as non original. Then you may have used a non original replacement battery to test on the phone which is the reason why you still got the "!" mark. Try to borrow an original battery from someone else and see if the mark disappears.
hi all
been running a ZTE Blade for a while on CM 7.10 stable
all of a sudden charging the battery has been a bit of a pain
ive not seen it go over 28% charge in over 2 days constant charging
ive bought a new battery for it aswell and tried a different cable and another genuine zte blade charger to no avail
ive wiped the phone and put on CM 7.10 again and also just wiped and put on Swedish Snow r7 but still behaving the same
one thing i find now is that i have to position the usb cable into the zte in a certain position for it to charge. It says charging and red LED is on.
ive also wiped the battery stats in CWM many times too
im planning it to leave it on charge over night on Swedish snow to see what happens
you reckon even though it says charging the charge port is faulty?
thanks!
re:
Dude you check your charger first!!
Try with a different charger
Have u tried with different charger or battery,check with this its work,if this is not working u can contact your service provider,
they can assist you better.

Hello. I am using b528 rom.
And my battery goes around 3-4 hours. I always charge, i dont know how my battery became so bad. I am using it for 1 year and 5 months. I always left on usb charge on nights, i use even if it has low charge etc, so mybe because of those.
So now i want to buy new battery because i need this phone. Maybe usingh two batteries can help me?

Like that, a home charger, charging the 2. battery in the night and next day, when main battery finished, i can use other.
Or

Connect your phone without battery. After it completely boots put your battery in the phone for 5 minutes and see if it charges or not.

I dont know, maybe it can hardm the software. I did this after minutes of showing "no charging", it stupidly started to charge. For 20 minutes, it is now around %8.
I think my cable has problem because when i move the cable, it disconnects. But my battery is not best i think. I wiped battery stats, fixed permissons. I dont know what to do now. I dont want to buy another battery but i dont know.
Update
I told i used my brother's usb cable and it charged until %8. Then i connnected my usb cable, it showed it was charhging but it was still %8 after 10 minutes so i took of, and then it showed %1. So i think my cable is broken? Now i am charging via ac but phone shows usb charging and it is still %2. Should i countinue or take off ?

Keep it on for atleast 20mins in USB w/o battery in. Then insert battery and charge for about 2 hrs w/o touching. It should be about 5%. Let it charge all night w/ AC.

Hello all, I'm having the same issue with an AT&T Impulse 4G, aka the wonderful Huawei U8800-51... This is running the stock AT&T OTA 2.2 froyo version, never been rooted or messed with.
It won't charge really at all, and I've tried a new battery also. It will boot and run OK when connected via USB, with no battery installed. I've only been able to get it to 12% battery, I did this since I wanted at least 10% charge to do an FDR. It won't last when charging on the AC, I've gotten the battery to around 5% on USB and then powered it off, then plugged it into the wall charger. I've tried both the Huawei OEM charger (1mA) and a replacement charger (650mA).
After a while of being plugged into the wall, the phone won't boot and the red LED just stays lit. I have to remove the battery and plug it in via USB to get it to boot again.
Is there anything in the OS that can go wrong and not let it charge the battery? (even though the screen shows the lightning bolt in the battery icon). I've gotten a battery monitor widget installed from Wifi. Other than that nothing has been installed whatsoever, it's FDR wiped, cleared cache, and the only other thing I've done is surfed the web a few times to verify connectivity after each FDR.
Or do I have a hardware problem? I've used different AC and USB cords, wiggled them a little bit in the port on the phone - it doesn't do anything and it's all the same - it just won't charge.
Or do I need to charge the battery externally somehow to some decent level and then throw it in the phone? Is there anything I can try to do from the basic OS or an app I can try to revive a battery (I have two) and get it to at least charge the battery fully just once so I can mess with it for more than a few minutes at a time?

I don't think the USB port itself is broken, since I don't lose/gain/drop any charge or data transfer by wiggling various cables that I've used.
When plugged into a computer via USB, I can see all the drives on the device fine, including the removable microSD card and I can access files on the microSD card just like any other USB device.
I measured the voltage at the - and + battery terminals on the phone,obviously without the battery installed, I get 0.60 VDC on USB and 0.81 VDC when plugged into several known-good wall chargers (including the OEM Huawei wall charger which says it's a 1 amp charger, and another generic microUSB wall charger which is labeled 650 mA).
So, I can't see how that would charge a 3.7 volt battery - it actually would be draining the battery like a vampire. This is why I think there's something wrong between the USB port and those battery terminals. But I just don't know if it's wiring/board stuff, or the stock Froyo somehow.
I also measured the two batteries I have.... one is at 2.97 VDC and the other at 3.06 VDC, so I assume those are flat dead basically. Both of them are basically brand new. The original battery was an AT&T replacement that my wife got just before she just bought an iphone instead, got sick of this thing.
I will try to get a battery calibration app when I get it back on wifi, it basically only works after I do an FDR and then put a battery in after having it already plugged into USB (otherwise, I get wifi "error"). But I'm really thinking I'm going to have to just disassemble this thing and see if anything is burned/broken/etc. Or does someone just want it on the cheap??

OK, so I bought an external wall charger that charges the battery separately from the phone (and it came with yet again another battery for $7). So I have now 3 good, full batteries.
I rooted it via SuperOneClick, and installed CWM, all thanks to the root guide here on XDA. (thanks!) Everything went fine and the device appeared to function correctly, although as I was doing all this, and setting the phone back up, the battery would go from 75-60-55-50-45-40% in a matter of minutes.
But once I got it done and rooted, I went and got the battery calibration app. Put in a fresh battery at 100& and wiped the stats (I've now done this several times). The battery definitely lasts a good bit longer, but still drops pretty quickly so I will try to find some new ROMs here shortly.
The only thing that is still very strange, is that if I shut the screen off or if it goes off on its own, it will not wake up.... I have to pull the battery and it works fine on reboot. Any ideas?
Hey i was looking for someone who could help me with this strange issue. I owm Galaxy S5 G900F. Currently running stock lollipop rom (back from custom rom to stock to see if it helped my issue).
Everything was perfect on daily base and one night i plugged in my charger and nothing. So i first i thought battery is gone so i bought new one. Then i was checking port if its not dirty, no it was perfectly clean. I tried dozens different chargers, cables, pcs. Nothing. Even PCs don't recognize the phone. Battery percentage is not showing correctly (When i got new battery i fully charged in on universal external charger first, inserted battery and performed battery calibration from an app to wipe battery bin stats) and it's not showing correct discharge progress either staying for hours on 66% even tho i played hours of youtube videos.
Even tho i cannot charge the phone or sync it with any PC here is something extremely strange, ODIN recognize phone and i can flash stock rom via ODIN without a single issue!
Any advise are strongly appreciated.
Thank you for your help!
Ok guys, i dropped the phone to repair shop as i did not want to open my s5 without proper heat gun. The guy said it was the charging port. He said it was very unussual problem, because when the charging ports breaks usually nothing works then (regarding the charging and syncing) odin was not suppose to work either. Anyway it was the charging port. All good now.
