Battery's not full charging

My X2's battery seems charging in eternity. Have it plugged almost half a day and still is charging. I'm always turning my X2 off when I'm going to charge it, so I can see the battery icon when it's full. But this one's crazy, when I turn on my phone and looked at how many percent that it has been charged...it says 100%. But then again when I turned it off (still plugged to a charger)...it's still is charging.

Same issue as mine. I wonder what's causing this?

dont worry
this is the problem that many of us are facing with.
no way to get rid of. phone jast charges till 100%, and illumination stops , but the status remains charging. but really its stopped. the charger and battery both get cool.

Had anyone of you did try to send it to SE service center to address this issue?

Many times when I charge the phone the % indicater will just stay at whatever it was when I plugged in the charger. If unplugg the charger for a few seconds and reconnect it again the % indicater will update.
It's just one of those bugs.....

l have contact SE about a month ago..still no reply

It's better to leave the phone on when charging, that way the OS itself can control power management.
Really though, don't worry about it... as it has been said... it's just one of those things

Thank you for that info. But, how long does your battery lasts? Mine wouldn't even last 24 hours.

This is a question that is very difficult to answer as it depends on which applications you are running and how you use your phone.
Earlier this week I experienced that the battery dropped from 100% in the morning to less than 20% around 5 PM after having used the phone quite frequently throughout the day.
Yesterday I used the phone very little and from 100% battery yesterday morning I'm now down to 59% after 26 hours of use.
If you want your battery to last make sure you:
- turn off the screen when you do not use the phone
- turn off WiFi and Bluetooth
- don't use the radio
- turn of GPS
Maby someone else have more tips on how to get the battery to last.

here issue is not standby of battery-it is simple charging time and unacceptability of x2 to stop charging procedure. it just go on and on with charging(it does not display when it the battery is full it display that it is still charging-even if the phone is on charger more then 10h!!)

Sometimes I can use it all day and still have somewhere around 40% to 60% left at the end of the day. If I don't use it that much, it will maybe drop 10% per day. I have gone 3 days once without needing to swap my battery.
I have a standalone charger and 3 batteries. So I swap out the batteries from there every time it is low. It could be possible that the standalone charger does a better job of charging to full capacity.
EDIT: I also leave my 3G on always!

My battery lasts 3 days,about 30min of talk every day,5-10sms,20-30min of wifi,3g is off,gps not using yet...so that is about that.

3 days? And mine was just about....damn!

If you guys want great battery life, charge your battery in a TP2

That's right... For some stupid reason, our phones don't detect when the battery is ACTUALLY full. Getting annoyed with the having to charge my phone twice a day, I stuck my battery in my old Touch Pro 2 (left it powered off) and plugged it in... It took about 5 hours for it to fully charge and I let it sit for another hour.
I took it off the charger at 11AM... It is now 11PM and I'm at 68% and I've been doing more browsing and downloading than usual. Previously, I would have hit 20% by now and had to plug in the charger.
Once you charge the battery in this manner once, it should be fine from there because the cells have been fully charged for the first time. As long as you don't drain the device completely, you shouldn't run into battery issues.

Ordered a multi-function battery charge and two aftermarket TP2 "1500mAh" batteries from eBay, all for $11, hopefully they're good

I've been pounding the hell out of this thing today... I've racked up 8 hours of "active" usage... so actually I've used my phone more than normal.
The first clue for me was the fact that my battery didn't drop from 100% to 90% in five minutes like it was before... It would usually drop to 80 within an hour, even on standby...
It was at 92% when I got to work at noon.

Unreal, I never thought I would search ebay for a phone with a BAD esn

What I think is unreal is that our 2010 devices can't do something other devices have been able to do since 2006... AT LEAST 2006...

I'm running fresh .3 and I've had the phone unplugged for 1d 0h 15m and still have 30% left... so I don't have an issue with the battery at all.

I have two of these chargers and 4 batteries. I keep two at work and two at home.
These chargers top the battery completely off. I can take a battery that is "fully charged" in the phone and put it in the charger and it will still need 20-30 minutes of charging. The batteries off the charger will stay at 100% for up to 20 minutes, the ones charged in the phone plunge within 1 minute for me.

I really hope this issue can be fixed with a software update. Charging once a day is one thing, but having to take the cover off, battery out and reboot every morning is not acceptable. Not to mention that I rely on my phone while it is charging for emergency calls.

AFAIK it affects all HTC Android devices. HTC is lazy. Anyway I even put my old TP battery which hasn't been charged for at least 6 months in and charged it with the TP. It appears the first 5% is dead but it is still kicking ass and taking names over the charge I get from the evo.

Your battery was probably charged to capacity before they sold you the phone. Once a lithium ion battery has been charged to 100% it maintains its charge unless you screw it up by running it down to empty a few times. The problem is that for whatever reason HTC didn't see fit to charge all batteries to their max first even full well knowing that they won't get conditioned properly by the phone.

I did too, but think mine is defective. The batteries are pretty good for backup purposes and do their job. My wall charger sucked though. I had a Droid Eris hooked up via USB and a battery on the charger. After about an hour and a half, the Eris charged fine, but the battery was like at 30%.
Now the deal breaker is when I got home. I tried to charge a battery and my EVO via USB. When ever I hooked up the USB my phone litterally lagged almost would freeze to a point. I removed the USB cable and phone worked fine. So in all my charger sucked and can charge the battery but really slow.
I ended up just charging the batteries with the OEM charger and EVO turned off.

Yes, but an HTC Windows Mobile device, not Android.

I think OP is talking about the TP2 OEM battery, not some knock off that you buy off ebay. FYI there are tons of battery for TP2, so it would have been better if the OP can tell us exactly which one he got. Check out batteryboss for comparsion:

Could there potentially be a software fix to make the evo handle battery management better, like the tp2?

I am dying for Lumos on my EVO. I don't think the auto brightness control works for crap on my phone.

Actually i was talking about putting your evo battery IN a touch pro 2 in order to charge all the cells.

So this is the reason why the EVO appears to be charging its battery so fast. I plugged it in, and it takes less than an hour to start beeping "I'm full."
......Because it's not really full.
That would explain why I was about to sleep, the EVO was charged, and I got an email, so it kept beeping every 10 minutes or so. which was annoying. I had to unplug it so I could sleep. I slept only 7 hours, and I heard the phone on the little table beeping again like crazy in the morning. I checked what it wanted, and it was the super warning that the battery was about to die.
No use at all in 7 hours, and the battery went from "fully" charged to almost ZERO.
I was almost crying of laughter. I just thought what a piece of junk. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Battery Charging Issues from AC adapter

Hello,
I noticed some crazy things happening to my N4 during charging yesterday.
It was at about 20% and I had a few hours to charge it before going out for the night. I charged it to about 50% and then stepped out of the house.
After I came home at night, I plugged it in like I do before I go to bed. I woke up after 5-6 hours to use the bathroom and checked my phone. It was stuck at 76% charging. I knew something was wrong because it shouldn't of taken 5-6 hours to get to 76%. I opened my battery settings and noticed something very weird happening.
The indicator was saying "76% Charging" and then "76% Not Charging" and it was alternating between the 2 really fast. It was as if I was taking the plug out of the wall and putting it back in REALLY fast. I checked the outlet and it was fine, it was plugged in just fine (I've been using the same outlet fine for a week)
I restarted the phone and suddenly the battery jumped to 86%. WTF?
I kept it charging and went back to sleep. Woke up few hours later and it got stuck at 76% again! And it sat there bouncing back and forth like before.
I restarted the phone a FINAL time and then finally it fully charged to 100%.
WTF is going on?

Seems like your battery indicator might have been messing up, reboots fix this

Yeah sounds like it but really odd how it got stuck at 76%.
When it hit 86% it just stayed consistently charging but the % wasn't increasing. Looking at the battery graph from last night it seemed to be at 86% for at least a few hours.

I would leave it charging for such a period that it would be at 100% if it was at all normal.
Then reset battery stats, let it fully discharge through use, recharge, and see how it goes.

Reset battery stats without root permissions? Don't think it's possible, right?

It takes me about 2.5 hours to 3 hours for fully charged. It depends on amperage/voltage.

yeah. mine took about 3 hours++ as well. Initially, i got enabled the Live wallpaper, it took me ages (nearly 5-6 hours) to get 100%. The live wallpaper also draining my battery super fast. So i got fed up and disable the live wallpaper, it seems charging time is shorter and battery life is dramatically increase from 14 hours to 20 hours++.

takes me about 3 hours to charge wired, and about 3.5-4 hours to fully charge on Qi

My phone took around 2hrs to complete charge. If your phone took about the same time then it could just be a software glitch. Try factory reset or reflash firmware.
If it took obvious longer time let say 3hrs or more then it could be a hardware problem.

I reflashed the official rom poland one 4.4.2 but still has the same issue

Charging li-on battery gets slower towards the end of the charging cycle. That's normal. The only thing you should be worried about is how long battery lasts in use. If you have bad battery it charges up faster, not slower then also runs out of juice fast.
Charge with original charger and cable to make sure problem is not there.
I always leave my note charging over night so I don't know how long it should take to reach 100%

i just made my phone to run out of juice and i charged it up to 100%, it takes 2h and 15 minutes ( Phone was off while charging )
i think it's normal, isn't ?
