as the title says... currently stuck at 12% for 6 hours of charging.
restarted, reformated and reset(mgdlr and wp7 os). still no go.
i know the battery drain is crazy in this build. batt hack is a no go.
battery save. no go.
any ideas? using v1.
update:v2 is a no go. able to charge in mgldr screen so cable,charger good.will flash 5.51 radio to reduce drain.
FIXED: Flashed v2 with built in radio 5.51T(combatible w/ EU and tmo). camera trick worked. back charging and drain gone. ROM runs smoothly. almost perfect... too bad ROM cant print money.. lol
FIX is Flash v2 with 5.51T radio(combatible w/ EU and tmo) and do camera trick!
i hope this helps!give me a thanks if it does.
try to flash with v2 maybe that will help
also before you flash in v2 folder try to change radio to:5.51.09.29
and then flash (on that rom you can use camera trick that will reduce battery drain)

are you getting any LED indication at all?
If you turn the phone off and plug in USB does MAGDLR boot the phone?
I assume you know you have a good USB cable? Can you confirm the cable can charge another device?
updated my post.

What about your LED? Are you by chance getting a Orange/Green flashing LED when you try to charge in WP7? If so it may be that windows thinks your battery is too hot... turn off and throw in the freezer for 10 minutes
if you have no LED indication at all then i am afraid i'm out of ideas
Same problem here. Connecting the cable make the battery blink for some seconds then showing nothing anymore. LED are off. Can charge the battery in a cradle and in Magldr so.
updated post w/ a fix.
Hi Guys,
Since a few weeks I have a weird problem with my u8800. The first thing I noticed was that the phone didn't charge properly; after a night of charging it would still not be fully charged. I thought it would be the battery that died (tho that would be a bit quick after half a year) so I replaced it with a replacement battery. This battery showed the same behaviour within a few days. Then I replaced the charger for another one; this kept things working for some time but eventually the problem returned. I also tried Wipe Battery Stats to no avail.
What's wrong? I dont't get it. If the phone's on the charger now, the red light is blinking. It doesn't charge beyond 3% so I can never take it off the charger.
I have Aurora ICS since a few months, keeping in pace with updates.
Any help would be very welcome cause this thing makes it impossible to use the phone as a mobile phone..
Install the official android 2.2 and see if the problem persists
Wipe the battery stats (in recovery). Afterwards try to fully reload the battery (even if it keeps blinking red) and keep it on the charger for 1-2 more hours. Then disconnect the charger and do not reload the battery until the phone turns itself off. Charge it fully one more time.
After following this procedure your battery should be fine. If wiping the battery stats in recovery does not work, there should be a program on the market which does the same.
If the procedure does not resolve the problem please send the device in for repair. If the battery charge does not go up to 100% after following the procedure please do the same. This is a hardware error.

Hi,
I wiped battery stats but charging won't go beyond 5%. What is the name of the app you talk about?
FORGET wipe battery stats, everyone knows that is placebo!!

I would do that, but it seems risky on a battery with only 5% accu left. AFAIK you cant do these operations with the usb connection as power source right?

Plug your phone to the charger (not usb) and you shouldn't have problems...
But how do I flash 2.2 without usb connection?
Format sdcard and put update on it with some adapter or go CWM > mounts and storage > USB mount.

Put update file into the sdcard/internal card, plug the phone to the charger, and start the update by simply press Vol+, Vol- and Power.
Simple

Sorry for asking, but is there any clear reason why you guys expect flashing 2.2 might help? I ask because I expect this will cost me quite some time and I am trying to see what my succes chance is.
And, do you think I would be able to go back to Aurora ICS after flashing 2.2? I wouldn't want te be stuck on 2.2..
Thanks!

Because 2.2 is the most stable rom/kernel. This way you can see if the problem is with your actual Aurora, or it's an hardware problem.
And yes, if you flash 2.2 you can go again to 2.3 and then flash Aurora ICS.
And please, read/search a little bit on the forum before placing those questions. Those questions have been answered a million times!

Not everyone knows that, at least I did not. I thought that maybe the ROM just wasn't showing the information correctly and therefore suggested wiping the stats. But if it does not work, forget it.
In this case flashing a different ROM won't help. A battery that cannot be loaded is a hardware defect - there has not been a single report that switching to Android 3 or 4 leads to this problem. The charging of the battery is only hardware-related (if it was software-related you would not be able to charge your phone when it is turned off!) and therefore the only possibility is that the device is defect.

This is wrong as I just explained. The charging process does not depend on Android or any software the OP could modify/change.

As I said, it is one of two: it could be a problem with Aurora installation or an hardware problem.
Install 2.2. If it is a rom problem, it should work right with 2.2 (it could be some kind of problem during the installation that have corrupted some files.)
If it is an hardware problem, it'll continue to have the problem. Simple

Please read once more; I stated why the Aurora installation has nothing to do with this. I cannot explain this better than I already did, but I'll try again if there is something confusing.

I don't have this problem with X5, but I've tried to fix it on a friend's other android model.
The behaviour was similar, the battery never goes to 100 % and can show from 80% 1% after minutes, and phone deactivated.
First I thought that was rom' s problem(had a CM7 custom rom), so I made a full wipe.
Problem doesn' t solved. After I changed the rom with another one(Ligux), but problem still there. Then I tried to charge it with another cable and without to power on. No difference.
So, I've flash the official rom. After that I managed to charge it normally until 100%. And seems that working fine now. The official roms change more things on the device than any custom, and seems that this problem caused from another part of the software which doesn't belong to system or boot.img(these are the parts which custom roms usually replace).
If you read the official PDF file that comes with stock roms it actually specifies that you should REMOVE THE BATTERY and connect it directly via USB while flashing the ROM So 5% charge is not even needed, just remove the battery and flash a stock rom!
OK, somehow the problem spontaneously solved itself and my phone worked fine for some time. But now it's back unfortunately. This time however I saw how it started. I think this is what happens: the battery goes too empty. So the phone crashes because of that (no proper shutdown). Then when putting it on the charger it sees the battery that is too empty as a faulty battery (indicated by the red blinking led, no charging animation visible). The phone won't power on.
There's a trick to get it to turn on though: remove the battery, plug in the power cable and it turns on. As soon as the Huawei logo appears put the battery back in (or a boot loop will happen). Then, there's a chance it will start charging again (though sometimes that only happens after many attempts).
Now the question is, why does it go too empty and is it possible to prevent this?
I have been on CM9 20120528 build for sometime... But hvnt really had such problens before
I am stuck on motorola logo after i start the phone.... The max i can get to is the bootmenu after lot of times.. I tried reinstalling the bloody Rom...from menu... But that too didnt help..
This happened aftr i drained out the battery...
Now when i put it for charge it just goes to motorola menu....
I feel its not recognising the battery...
Plz help..
Please guys i need help... does this hv to do wid the 20120528 build.. i see it isnt there on the http://defy.wdscript.fr/defy-cm9/ anymore..
is that the reason for the problem
I tired checking for solutions ... but is there no such fix for "green lens". i saw for red lens.. do i have to go Mcgrever(mind the spelling)..???
make sure your battery is charged.
get a battery charger or use someone else's defy(if available).
then flash another cm9 build (you can always use the latest one)

nothing is happening.. its not recognising the battery.. the battery is set to 0% .... i see this when i go to the bootmenu.. installing another ROM didnt help..
thru direct charger it can only get upto bootmenu.. after that i feel it uses batttery power to go thru...
i think i'llhv to get some other battery of charge this on another phone..
is there a fix avaliable like for "red lens"
I don't think there is any "fix" for this.
best option it seems is to charge your battery in another phone.
if it doesn't work after charging your battery then try flashing a sbf via rsd lite.(be sure your battery is charged before doing this)
Hi,
I have a ZTE blade that seams not to see itsbattry, it show 0% and always shutsdown automatically, the battery is ok, it works in an other device and an other battery doe snot help.
It also wont run on USB power only.
Any ideas how I can use it again?
May By how to mod cyanogen mod to ignore batery and not auto shutdown?

As stated above it also fails with charger attached, it seams that it also does not see it.
My best guess is that the power monitoring chip is only providing random data to the OS.
So i should replace or remove that chip.
Or simple if possible mod CM to ignore the power status.

Where would I see that?
It feals to be at room temperature when touches.
Also I tryed 2 batteries same problem.
It seams also not to see that it is on a charger, or ratehr it sees it it shows the small thunderbold on the battery for a second or two and than its gone as if the plug ware pulled out but its not.
well I have possibly a solution, when I tape over the middle pin of the battery the phone seems to think that the battery is full all the time.
And wel thats good enough, i ordered an external charger and it should all be fine
Hey guys,
I noticed this yesterday my Nexus 4 (running PA 3.6, franco milestone 1) shut down at 30% charge. I went home and charged it (it showed 0 when I started charging it) to 100% continuously.
Today too the phone shut down when it was around 32-31% and now charging has again started from 0%.
What could be the issue?
I have tried the battery calibration app even though I know it does nothing.
Any ideas?

I have been flashing nightlies merrily on the Nexus4, never had to recalibrate the battery, though it sounds like your does need that. (I had a Desire HD before this, and it was very sensitive to errors in battery calibration)
How about if you charge the phone fully then either reflash the ROM or flash a nandroid backup you've made? Either of those options will overwrite the battery stats file - if that's the problem.
It could be that the chip in the battery is malfunctioning, ie a new battery could be needed, but that sounds much less likely

Okay I'll try reflashing the ROM when I'm at a 100%, I know deleting the batterystats.bin file doesn't do anything but I did that anyways yesterday, but it seems it didn't fix the calibration issue.
Any other ideas I could try while I charge my phone to a 100%?

Hi, @paul c, I would like to inform you that my phone's discharging just fine (charged it to a 100% last night and it's currently at 48%, I didn't reflash my ROM but I did reboot it once. I also haven't charged it since then)
Could you tell me what's the minimum and maximum battery voltage? I am guessing that the max voltage is around 4200mV but what's the minimum? Also, can we calculate the REAL battery %age from the voltage that is displayed by apps like DashClock? If we can do that could you tell me how/what formula we use to do that?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions and I would really appreciate any help here !
Thanks!

Hi,
I was inspecting the battery's voltage/charge the entire day today and I realized that at around 36% the voltage went around 3000mV (3100mV, Nexus 4's battery is rated at 3800mV and it maxes at around 4200mV). After that when I plugged it back in and turned it on it started charging from 0%.
I think the battery is at fault.
Is there any fix for this which does not involve replacing the battery?
Thanks!

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I tried charging through the night and then discharging it completely and charging it completely again. I also tried deleting the batterystats file (even though I know it doesn't do anything)
So what do you suggest I should do? Get the phone replaced or get the battery changed?
I live in India and the phone is from Canada, so replacing the phone will take some time but I can get the battery replaced for around $20
Also my nexus is also showing +ve mA values while it's not charging, and the values are absolutely crazy, +268, +168, +1171 (in batter monitor widget)
Please tell me what I should do.

When you open the back case did you notice if the battery looks bigger/inflated? Maybe you should replace the battery.

Okay, I got my battery replaced, drained it to 0% (after a full charge) and going to charge it completely by the travel adapter that I purchased from the service center.
Attached are the pics of my old battery, I don't know if you can see it but it's swollen. If I recall I used a nexus s' charging cable to charge the phone from a computer and it was charging like AC (my kernel usb fast charge was OFF) and it also never detected my phone in the explorer (Windows)
My problem's solved now, it was a battery issue for me. I upgraded to PA 4.3 in the process by the way
So I guess I'll stick to my regular micro USB cable and charge via the travel adapter whenever possible, thank you everyone for your inputs!
