[Q] Defy ICS = battery not charging

Hi forums,
Last night, i upgraded to ICS. Everything went smooth.. First i install the CM9 kernal, then ICS, following latest gapps. Looks awesome .. I was so hyped, i left it in charge and went to sleep. This morning, i see my phone dead. I took out the battery and put it in charger again. All i get is battery logo with question mark. then i connected to my pc, after about every \ 10mins it turns on, then turns off after 1min???
I tried to look for solution, mostly suggest to use RSD Lite and go back to Froyo 2.2.2 but my phone barely turns on for 1min then goes off.
The other solution suggested to cut out a usb cable and connect it between the battery and the phone. I tried it but no luck yet.
Maybe the battery is dead? if not, any other solution?
thanks!
EDIT: nevermind: this solution worked!

This is very common issue for which you could have found the solution very easily had you scanned through cm9 threads. Basically there is a battery fix which you can flash it through cwm recovery.
enjoy, hit thanks if I had helped you.

do you use this if you have a Regular Defy with a GB kernel and are using a CM9 built for defy+??

Yes. I created this fix for regular Defy with red lense, running ICS on GB kernel - no matter if it is Quarx or Epsylon3's build - works on all of them.

does this work on defy green lense too?

I flashed ICS in my Defy+, but dint face this issue of battery not charging! Was I simply lucky or something else?!

For me with Defy+ the maximal battery level with Epsylon3's ICS could be reached is 91%

i am very new to all this, jus rooted my phone, installed CM9, CM9-NIGHTLY-120428-Defy+ on my defy plus , red lense, with boot loader 7. im having battery issues , it stays on 82 % and doesnt get charged more than that and drains very easily. where do i get my hands on the battery fix?? the link to drop box is not working, says the acc is disabled, and can i flash this battery fix irrespective of the nightly version?? pls help!!

Battery fix is not for your phone. You have a Defy+ (MB526) and this fix is for MB525 - regular Defy with red lense. Find my tutorial for Quarx's Defy/Defy+ CM9 builds and flash the latest build. The one you are using is pretty old

Help battery dont charge
See this screenshot.........i am charging my cell and it is showing also its charging but not even d graph nor the battery icon is increasing .
Seriously help me

I am not sure, but previous versions by eppy, talking bout dec 2011 builds, were defy+ builds too and they worked on the normal defy. But I have forgotten, how or what was to do oO
I wouldn't try it, cause I am too afraid to do something wrong and brick. have you fully read through the CM9 thread? maybe there is kinda an answer.
Other possible problems, i thinnk can appeare are:
-Battery not loading, due to different battery properties
-Camera Problems
I would recommend, to wait these 2-3 days until a new defy build appears. This will be optimised for the "normal" defy.
I also heard people are experiencing problems with 1104 build...

You will have to flash the gingerbread kernel first (defy+ kernel) and afterwards you may have battery problems.

And if you have defy green lense your camera wont work.

Yup, as mentioned in this thread you can install in red lens defy after flashing the defy+/gb kernel but you also need a battery patch as the charge ratings are different for defy and defy+.

You may have to find the patch for battery first which works with DFP-231. Other than that, I don't think there should be any problem.

Help green lens battery is (?) bootloader 7

I have a Defy MB525 FUll Flashed DFP231 (GB Kernels) does not work charging the battery (the question mark is displayed on battery icon). I tried to install CM9 (for Defy MB525) - the system will not start. I tried to install CM9 Defy MB526 - it works, but not charging the battery (the battery icon is displayed properly, when you connect the charger is displayed if started charging, but in reality the phone not charging
. I tried to put the GB Kernels for CM9 - bootloader error. I tried to put the Battery fix for Red Lense - does not help.

THE DREADED INVALID BATTERY!
i have the '?' and nothing works to fix it, although mine is caused by macgyver.
can anyone tell me if this would work on a defy? and post pictures?

I Flash CM7 & CM9 Build For Defy+ .
Didnt Worked battery and camera.
Froyo CM7 and GB kernel CM9 kernel --> Bootloader Error.
I want just my battery back!

For CM9, use the builds from epsy (they suppose to have the right files for the defy). Or use the search function (something like 'battery fix').
For CM7 there are also zip files. You should we able to find them (maybe with Google).

The only way I got the HF5X Defy+ Battery to get fully charged on the Defy(Green Lens) was to flash a GB Kernel like 4.5.3-109_DPP-11 an install Defy+ "battd" & "libbattd.so" like in this thread.
Only problem I got was no working camera. Tried Greenbread mod which brought me back camera but do not work with HF5X batttery.
So maybe try the 4.5.3-109_DPP-11 kernel with battd patch.
Kind Regards,
mpeg

if i try any kernel I have bootloader error!
i think boot.img from froyo kernel solve my problem.
but when try that on Defy Green 2.3.6-231 bootloader 7 --> Bootloader error!

if you already flash bl7 sbf onto your phone, then the only stock firmwares will work /dfp231, dfp188 = bl7/

I buy new battery put in on phone and again Invalid Battery !
wipe data
wipe cash
flash ic redlens battery fix
flash battery fix for white rabbit eddition
NOT WORKED
I test in CM9 & Stock Firmware (rooted 2.3.6). Battery always (?)
I am going to crazy!

First you must know that you are stucked in bl7 and can not downgrade to froyo at the moment. But I am convinced that if you use the battd & libbattd.so from defy+ stock rom, set the permissions like the old ones and delete everything in /data/battd the HF5X will be charged full.
I brought the Hf5X fully charged on MS2Ginger 3 and 4 on 4.5.3.109 kernel and files mentioned above. I am using a defy (green lens). Camera not function at this kernel.
Kind regards
mpeg

Thanks for replay .
I gust I need boot.img from froyo kernel.
I cant use any kernel in BL7 ---> bootloader error.
I use both of Battery (BF5X & HF5X ). Not Worked.
Maybe my battery IC DEAD!?

If your battery ic would be dead than you could not power on your phone without power cord.The battery charge process is handled though software. I think it is a software/kernel incompability.
Because you are stucked in bl7 try to flash defy+ stock sbf. Maybe try some battery fixes for gb kernel.
Don't forget to wipe data/cache, dalvik cache. If this doesn't work try Motorola build in factory
reset.
Kind regards
mpeg

Maybe this helps you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413214

that bootloader is 5.
i am on bootloader 7!
not worked.

no way for solve battery problem for bl7?

In Defy > General forum there's a thread about Quarx CM9 builds for Froyo and GB kernel. In the first post there's a patch for Defy red lens using Defy+ roms. I suggest you can try that. Did you took a nandroid backup before flashing that rom, if the patch does not work, try restoring it. I have never faced the battery issue, probably because I used Quarx's CM7 builds. Never tried Fuzz's, and now am scared to..
Here's the link

Answer : How to custom Kernel ´Defy+ JB Quarx

Everything for testing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wrote this for maybe less confusion
Works with my Defy - red lense Bayer cam - on Defy+(gingerbread Kernel) Jelly Bean Quarx 24.8 Rom
I´ve
1. Flash test_2ndboot_6.10.zip from http://quarx2k.ru/ or my 2ndboot_06.10.zp from attached dropbox (search for 2ndInit recovery if you dont have and root your defy)
2. Boot into Recovery
3. Set 2ndboot as default
4. Go to tools/adb daemon and klick it and then reboot
If you want to go back to stock gb kernel flash stock kernel -like gb-234-451-134-signed.zip from dopbox i´ve attached
Remember everything is for Test the custom kernel
OT - Multiboot is ok with CM7 but akku is always 100%
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4fg71wuehyibzzx/oanepGgaRR
BIGNOTE: Green lens users who flashed redlens builds please dont try using flash, you will end up burning it like me and many others
Big thanks to our great DEV´s Quarx as porter :good: , Walter for fixing :good: and MS2 Dev czechop who made this possibile :good:
Great works men !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Defy red lens with defy + build gb kernel
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium

I have done it in such manner
1. Prepared on SD card:
- CM10 ROM 24/09 for MB526,
- gapps for JB
- Qkernel 2ndboot_06.10.zip (with improved 2ndboot.ko)
2. Done factory reset and viped caches
3. Installed CM10 and gapps in normal manner
4. Flashed Qkernel
5. Went to bootmenu and choosed 2nd-boot (there was no chance to set it as default... i think, because phone immediately reboots)
And achieved "half success". All is working but with extremely lags... Was said so after first bootup system suppose to be laggy and needs to wait some time on sleep state with WiFi switched off. I was waiting whole night.
So now I want to know, if my procedure is right.
Nobody mentions gapps during instali of ROM - i suppose it's so trivial so nobody count it on...
Another problem - is there need of factory reset or cache wipe?
After installing Qkernel i went to boot menu to set 2nd-boot as default, but when i choose 2nd-boot phone reboots and I don't know what now with this setting up deafult 2nd-boot...
I am trying to fond any reason of system lagginess. Maybe something was done wrong. What's your opinion? To change ROM build? Or something else...

Of course I can try, but does it make any difference? Well, will see...
So I'm supposed to flash your kernel "as is" without much deliberation over existing installation?

If you are on boot loader ver 7 i cant say that it would work

Wrote about problems with custom kernel . Look around page 67 if your defy+ was stock bl7

I am using regular Defy with Bayer module and as first owner I am sure so there was not flashed any full sbf except once when I was forced to flash stock Froyo, so there is no case of BL7 I think...
So if I try can I flash this kernel over existing system or should I reflash ROM too?

Tried without success. Ill have to flash sbf rigth? Which do you recommend?

what are the advantages of using this kernel?

I don't know the advantage, for me it works as i do.
I started with stock cee European gingerbread which I've flashed after offical update comes out
New nightley from quarx cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)
Is out & works a bit faster

In General section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909242&page=84
they talk about BL5 and BL6 is supportet by quarx not BL4 and BL 7
Some say it works on BL7
But better read there for your self.......beforr you flash anything and think about warrity/garantie

For every booting i had to umount and mount again the battery.
And no Deep-Sleep in about 12 hours
Anyone else with this problems?
---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------
Now Deep-Sleep is ok. Dont know why .... But ... Quarx said in the xda-developer thread,
that with no usb-cable and with wifi disabled the defy should go 10-15 sec. in deep-sleep.
Before i have had usb-cable on or wifi enabled. Maybe that has been the reason.
After 3 hours 14 % battery drain ... not good ...

Quarx edited a new Rom today.
But after getting more and more slow reactions from the defy+ i flashed the 24.09 version.
All tips didn't really work in a good way.
And I need my defy+ functionabel this days.
But next time again ...

And today again a new kernel for update as *.zip ...
quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/update_for_11.10_v2.zip
13.10 Kernel update:fix wifi tether(reboot), reduce battery drain, compiled with linaro 4.5, fix charge only mode, cleanup unused drivers.
