Hey does anybody have a solution to this unique problem. I always have a hot battery whenever I use WP7 and is indicated by the alternating orange and green lights in the notification every time I charge the phone after using it for some time. It doesn't charge in this state as well.. I have read some where that because of the over heat the phone has to be left to come to room temperature and then used.. But this is very frequent for me and rarely or never happens in Android.. I have tried all the WP7 ROM's and searched in the forum. Is there any concrete solution.

the solution is cool the battery before charging again or you have a bad charger/battery. if still happens with android then by logic there is an issue with the battery/charger. the other issues is you should try not use the phone while charging. of course the battery will heat up.
Yeah, I understand that but why only with WP7.. And all I was doing prior to this occurrence was texting and setting a few things up.. That shouldn't heat it up.. And it doesn't happen on android.. It happens very rarely in Android when I have actually loaded a lot of apps.. And I can feel the back is a little hot in wp7..
and is indicated by the alternating orange and green lights in the notification every time I charge the phone after using it for some time

sounds like u dont have original battery...
No man.. It's original battery from HTC I didn't buy any fake battery.. But, as soon as I run WP7 you can feel the back getting really hot.. And the alternating green and red lights :\.. It works fine in Android..

well what can we tell you? i haven't read anyone else having constant charging issues esp after using the correct charger or swapping batteries. you may have some app installed that's constantly running in the background that is sucking up power causing the battery to heat up.
besides, asking why only wp7 and not android...they are different operating systems that work differently. why don't you ask someone at Microsoft wp7 development. of course, the hd2 was never meant to run wp7 officially.
and it can be an issue with the version of wp7 you're using...my experience is that some roms run hot.
I remember this happened once to me BUT i'm not sure whether i wan on WP7 or AnDy or even using the 3rd party battery I got.
i was puzzled why the orange/ green light was flashing alternately
will try to replicate it again.:fingers-crossed:
It happened to me twice (since I've installed WP7.5 8773, two days ago). I thought it was normal, since it is charging the battery as it should.
The only matter is that the battery sensor is strange. Today it only charged until 85%, and when I switched off the cable it went to 100%, and yesterday I spent 30 minutes with 0% due to my trial to meet the phone with the real 0% of the battery, so it can calibrate itself.
Try to turn off the phone and then put it into charge. It worked for me the first time I saw this issue (because it is so annoying when you try to sleep in a 100% dark place with the phone in a glass transparent table).

I really hope it aint broke....
Got home after having to turn my X1 off on the way home as the battery was low...
Just popped it on charge. No charging lights. No nothing. So I try and press the power on button and all i get is 3 red lights flashing 3 times in about a second. Then NOTHING>
Tried hard resetting too, but to no avail...
Any any ideas? Or is it going to be a kick off at 02 jobby...
Update... now a slow blinking red light above the charging port...
Well now it decides to booot...
Learnt my lesson! Dont let it run dry. Thought my naff day was going to get worse!!
Happened to me too...
Just leave it plugged in and EVENTUALLY, your light will come back on and you'll be back in business.
It's a safety feature for most WM devices so (unlike the good ole days) you won't lose your data, programs, etc. and have to do a HARD RESET.
Noticed it as well. Let my battery run empty and the phone shut itself down. After putting it on the charger, it took a couple of minutes before it would reboot Had the same with my SE K800i as well by the way. If the battery was entirely empty it needed to precharge a bit as well in order to be able to turn on.
how is it a safety feature?

Lithium based batteries are not meant to be run below a certain level. A full discharge of a lithium battery would cause some serious damage to the battery, so devices tend to cut off the battery once it gets below a certain level.
Re the k800i... I let that one run dry, only it wouldnt reboot (which is why I get pretty "tense" during bootup!!)
Got the dreaded flashy light in the ir eye and had to full flash it....
Grrr Se's phones sometimes! Still loving it thou
Hello,
I'm sure my Hermes is not dead, I'm just having ridicious battery problems.
My battery completely drained out, I saw the screen fade out and kind of "die" as it happened. I then couldn't even charge the Hermes up, so it seems the battery just ran out of juice period. I googled around and it seemed the only way to revive the battery again is doing some complicated wiry thing with alkaline batteries.
But instead of that I just bought a new replacement battery. But it still won't charge! Does this mean my Hermes actually did die? The battery WAS extremely low so I'm certain that it was the battery. The phone can't just die like that.
Thank you so much for your help. N.B. the phone LED won't even give a red light when plugged in without battery in. I hope that's not a bad sign...
Hey there just a guess but I had a simular problem in the past and it seemed to be due to a defective camera part draining power. Only way I was able to fix it was to remove the camera part and then put it back together.
If the red LED doesn't come on when you connect to the power without the battery then your Hermes is dead, good only for parts.... If the LED does light up, connect the battery and see if it turns amber(orangey) that means its charging.
It could be the internal fuse blew. Might be replaceable but could be costly....
Yes, after reading that other people could usually still see a red LED without the battery, I gave up.
Sigh...well at least I got to see my Hermes die...the screen gradually fading away in front of me....sniff.... I will miss it dearly.
- - -
But life moves on and hey hey hey I'm the proud owner of a new Blackstone! I just wasn't ready to upgrade yet...I wanted to wait until a capacitive screened successor to the Touch HD came out...sigh
But I suppose deaths of family and friends don't happen when you're ready for them
Goodbye my Hermes

Dear eyupwolf, I have similar problems.
Camera just works some times, but after that it can not be initialised again and drains my battery out. So I don't use it anyway (since 99% times tried it didn't work). If I do, I have to reset Hermes many times to set things up.
Can you describe the procedure how you fixed (removed) that problem?
Thank you,
F
battery wont charge
I got the same problems with the Hermes 200. I tired the 3 AAA battries in serial connection but it didn't help.
I even tried to cool the battery for 30 mins in the freezer (an old trick to squeeze the last little bit from the battery) the phone turned on for about 10 seconds but the os never loaded up. the phone shows red when connected to usb without a battery but led turns off when battery is insterted.
I ordered a battery on ebay, but until it arrives does anyone have any other suggestions?
thanks
Scuter
PS. It had Olipro 2.10 spl and recently installed the amazing golden globe v9 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458456
which is amazing.
This doesn't look good to me. I had my phone tethered to my laptop while I slept which I do often with no problems. Today I got up and saw the LED was blinking orange and green. I looked and the battery was down to 11% even though the status bar showed the battery as being fully charged.
I popped the battery out and in, tried again, same thing.
When I plug it in the LED stays solid orange for about 5 seconds and then stats blinking.
I tried it on the OEM charger with phone turned both on and off.
It doesn't appear to be charging and the LED's are blinking green, orange.
Does this seem like a bad battery? I live in the US so accessories are hard to get, I don't have a spare battery to test yet.
What do you suggest? I have a new battery coming but it's going to take a while before it shows up.
I had that too for a minute. I suspected a faulty charge / sync cable, swapped it out, and never saw these LEDs again.
Had that too. I'm using a second non OEM Battery, I will try it with the original and give feedback.
I had that with my small charging-cable (non OEM) in my car.
I've tried multiple cables. I'm hoping the battery is the culprit. I have another one on the way but it's literally on a slow-boat from China. If it's not the batter then it's the phone and that's no good. Doesn't charge on, off or in bootloader mode. I've read all the threads and it really could be either. Fingers crossed.
My LED was blinking orange/green too
I was using a non-standard (cheap) battery when this suddenly occurred. Changed to original battery and everything was OK again. Seems like the original batteries are best after all (even if they cost ten times more in my country).
Think that too. My Original Battery works well. The Battery from China is "blinking" sometimes for about 15 minutes.
same or even worst problem
During the first day i buy the phone and charge for 10hour, after that i switch on my phone i was shocked my phone wasn't charge at all but the indicator light show from orange to green.
so i charge my phone for the second time, this time its show 100%. i browse the phone setting and function all that less than 30min and before i sleep it was left 70plus % and after i wake up its left with 20plus % and the timing from i sleep to wake up less than 5hr. my wifi ,gprs bluetooth 3g everything is off except the alarm.
now i charge my phone for the third time after charging for 8hr i switch it on and it did charge but only 20plus % and i continue charge my phone for the forth time. i sucessful switch on the phone and its show 100% but it suddenly turn off, i was shock don't know what went wrong i try switch on the phone and its show the phone is low battary.
so i charge it again and the indicator light turn green less then 1min and my phone becoming weird i can't charge and switch on. once awhile it can be turn on.
so i try charging it again and the phone keep on restart.
i got so fedup as the phone is a brand new set and use it for less then 1 week. i'm going to get it fix tomorrow.
anyone with the same problem or know anything when wrong can help pls.
Hard reset helped me + check if a cable is deep enough in the phone
i try already its still the same. do u have the same problem.
i was charging my phone 2 day ago, and listening to music and downloading a lot of mb from internet with wifi, and i putted it under my pillow
after about 2 or 3 hour i pulled it out and saw the orange and green blinking
my phone was like a fire stone, it had a very bad result, the lcd doesn't had touch sensitive anymore
after 2 hour the sensitivity came back, but the story didn't finish yet.
after that, every time i charge this phone, the lcd sensitivity goes off,and after i cool it down, sensitivity comes back
but now while i'm sending this message, the half of screen doesn't have any touch sense what is your suggestion for me???
I had the same issue with my original battery - turned out that the middle pin in the battery connector had been bent when I swapped batteries - I straightened the pin back to normal position and now it charges fine again.
Jon
i am having this problem too. the led is blinking and the battery is not charging. i am forced to use a cradle to charge it up.
The orange and green blinking on charge happened to me a couple of times. In all instances the phone was too hot due to having it covered or temperature of the room was also too hot. Allowing it to cool made it work again. I haven't suffered from this problem ever since I started keep it well ventilated. Hope this helps.
yup. i google for it. and notice it due to overheat. i tried with air con on. it seem working well.
but for me. i cant feel any overheat (like hot/heat on my device when it start blinking.
hide.
The blinking light is the phone saying its overheating
this happened to me but the worst thing was I could of bought a 1500mAh battery from Hong Kong for something like £5/6 but i decided to buy one from my own country the UK and i read that an extended type was the best so i bought an extended 1350mAh for £7.99 thinking i would have no issues but its with this new battery that it overheats if i am charging via wall or pc and using my phone!
using tbattery it says the battery is only a 1230mAh anyway!!
but with my original battery i can charge and use at the same time so kinda annoyed i thought i was paying more to get better but i guess i live and learn
so now i have ordered an 1600mAh for my phone for £5.99
i should just use it as a backup battery .
p/s : what is the average battery temperature ?

Don't hijack threads!
Start a new one otherwise you won't get any reply for your efforts!
I bought 2 batteries from eBay. The cheap Hong Kong one does this at 60%. The other one was from the UK and claims to be the real thing, and it charges all the way to 100% and has given me no problems (it's the one I've been using for the last 30 days).
Moral of the story: Buy official batteries.
Hi all,
a few days ago I`ve got the same issue. Please don`t laugh, but sollution I`ve found is really funny.
Firstly I was trying to flash different ROMs, Radios with no luck. Trying to clean battery contacts and phone contact pins, especially the middle one, with no luck again.
Then, thinking logically ( ), I`ve found what changes occure to my phone. I didn`t flash a new ROM, didn`t intall any new software and so on before the charging become naughty. The only thing that changed was the temperature around, now here is hot like in hell: about +30C. So I plugged in portable charger and put it with my hd2 into refrigirator (changed it to maximum t to avoid any inconvenience) into low humidity container. In a few hours battery stated was shown as 100%. The next time I was trying to charge it again in the room, but got only blinking led, had to put it back into refrigirator
Seems that battery or phone has a temperature sensor, which stops charging when batt t raises above safe level. I believe sometimes this sensor fails or smth like that and charging can be stopped even when t is not so high..
Okay Guys,
This is like the first time i have got something like this.
Plz if Possible i need Info on this.
Okay Whats happening is,First if i have my phone in A/C its getting REAL HOT.
----And the thing that just happend for the first time is,----
Second When i put it in the Green AND Orange light on top starts Blinking and it isnt charging,

When i Get the cable out of the phone it stops when putting it back in it Starts again.
So If any can help me, i would love that allot,
SkitZ

Could be man, cuzz i turned it off and removed the batt for like 10 min.
Put it back in and it was all normal.
But i still wants to know what is causing this.
Could be the battery is overheating, if you have a case or a cover on the phone try taking it off and leaving it off, also just to test, prop your phone up on it's side, see if it stays cooler ...
These batteries are "Intelligent" and I use that term very loosely , and if they overheat they tell the phone ...
happy
Yes the battery does overheat and HTC did at one point say if it reaches a certain temperture the phone will stop charging. Honestly though I think if you can spare it, by a new battery.
Thnx all,
And to Reply,
I dont have a cover on the phone so its the batt. yeah,
Its all normal now but still i dont think its good
Maybe by changing your radio it can helps you!
the reason way, wit some of my experience, but can not explain how it is possible I have notes that with some radio's my battery heat up and with some radio it don't do it!
The greed and orange alternating light means the battery isn't quite right to be charged... When I've had the charger cord on the device but had been playing with it a lot and the battery or handset are warm, the greed and orange alternating lights will flash... If you turn the device off (not power off, just the screen) and leave it sitting there, it will eventually go to a solid orange light and start charging...
It did this with the original battery and several ebay ones...
Everyone should get a few cheap ($4 US) batteries anyway in case of emergency...
But the greed and orange alternating light isn't a sign of anything being busted...
I've bought an aftrrmarket battery and I have problems cahrging it.
It often shows itself as "fully charged", the led blinks from orange to green and it does not charge.
Whe in windows mobile, it shows 100% (not true) , but if i tap the battery icon i see the real percentage.
It does not recharge also when the phone is off.
BUT
I have noticed that when i am into android mode (one of the ported builds) the battery charges ...
SO
I think there is something preventing WM to charge the battery when it is 100%, and this control is missing in android.
now the question:
is it possible to "force" the charging in WM so that it bypasses the "100%" problem (like in android?).
Thank you in advance
I think an orange and green light means theres a problem and it cant charge,
I have an unofficial battery that does that too......
no, as i told you, there is something more.
when i am in wm or the phone is off, cahrging is almost impossible (orange and green led, wm icon showing 100% charge even if the battery is 1%).
BUT
if i switch to boot mode (vol down on startup, hspl screen) or if i am in android, THE BATTERY CHARGES.

So you are trusting android, in beta on these phones, over the default battery charging software?
I hope you don't blow up your battery.
Do you still have the original battery? Does it charge properly in WinMo?
I don't know if this is any help but... I also bought a very *ahem* low priced battery and experienced the same problem you mention. This was before android was stable so I have yet to try that, but I was able to fully charge the battery in winmo by putting the phone next to the air-conditioner. My thought when I read your post is perhaps that winmo is running the phone hotter and inhibiting battery charging. Somehow, I feel as though I'm grasping at straws...
'Force' and 'lithium-ion battery' should probably never be in the same sentence.
The flashing LED is an indication of overheating, thus the system stops charging until the temperature drops.
Try charging it someplace cooler.
If that doesn't work, the a method I read about is to run the phone until it totally flattens the battery, then put it on a full charge for at least 4 hours.

Darn, I knew I forgot something
I have one original battery which the phone came with, and THREE oem chinese batteries which look exactly the same, except for the lower barcode which is tinier than the one on the original battery.
I only charge them outside of the phone, with an ac mains charger, and they go to full 100% since it's what the phone say when I switch them.
Whenever I charge them in the phone (only time it happens is when I'm in my car and use the lighter charger) it's just math, they end up in the green-orange led loop, and they stop charging.
It's well known and it's related to overheating, but at least they do not drop as well, which means I can go on and use them for gps navigation or any other task and the battery will stay at the percentage at which I left it.
I also have the same behaviour of OP, that is, taskbar icon says the battery is 100% and NOT charging, info panel after tapping taskbar reports real percentage, S2U2 reports real percentage in green, which means S2U2 sees it as charging. Anyway, as soon as I go home, I wait for the battery to drain to at least 10%, switch it out and slap it into the mains charger.
My oem batteries last up to 3 days.
I have the official HTC extended battery and with the latest chucky rom i have been using it wont charge in the phone anymore. It always used to with no problems. There is something missing software wise that prevents it from charging.

Is the middle pin of the battery contacts bent or different to the others?
The green/amber flashing means "charging problem" which can be due to overheating, but also can be due to an incompatible battery.
When I got my HD2 with the original O2 ROM, the HTC large capacity battery wasn't compatible, this required a ROM update.
If you're running stock, make sure you've got the latest ROM.

Nope it seems fine. It charges the standard battery ok.
As I said im running Chucky ROM. I had something like 21st July chucky ROM on and it charged. Update to the 11th August ROM and it wont charge. Tried the 5th August the same. Havent had chance to go back to the 21st July one to check.
Incidentally I dont have green amber flashing lights. I have alternate Green and Red flashing.
The battery charges perfectly well in my desk charger and runs the phone fine it just wont charge in the phone.
