Should i buy battery, please help?

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??

This device is a U8800-51
All I want is to get the battery working OK so I can keep it around the house as a wifi/camera/music device and so one day I can hopefully use it as a learning tool for my kid...

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?

Charging issues.

I've noticed that when I leave the phone plugged in overnight it sometimes just seems to stop charging at a random point somewhere throughout the night and I'll wake up with a phone that is only at 80%, 65%, etc.. battery. It isn't fully charging and then just being drained again either, it just randomly stops charging. It will recognize that a charger is plugged in and even says that it is charging but the percentage indicator in the Settings pulldown doesn't move. This doesn't happen every night and it has never happened when I charge the phone during the day. I assume it only happens at night because I'm not at my desk using it. I can also assume that the device isn't taking 8 hours to go from 35% battery to 75%, it doesn't charge that slowly. Any ideas?
P.S Rooted but on stock ROM

Yeah, I have been using the cable that came with it. I've tried two different ones. I will try to see if it happens when charged through wall outlet.

Sorry for double post. Couldn't figure out how to attach image to an edit.
I looked at my battery settings and this is what I noticed. It looks like my phone is charging all the way up during the evening and then draining but the charging isn't kicking back or something. The huge gap in screen on time was when I was sleeping and there was no use of the device but battery is steadily draining.

As stated in previous post, I have not. That is the plan when I get home.

I have tried it through the wall charger for the past few nights and it charged just fine. I also tried it through the same cable that my N7 and Gnex were charged with and it still happened. I also tried various USB ports. Any ideas?

Is it possible the computer is sleeping and no longer powering the USB ports?

I had exactly the same problem for one night.
But it can't be a problem with my Notebook because
my Galaxy S charged just fine.

Probably due to power saving options on your computer, be they USB power saving settings or sleep related. If you want to charge faster you should definitely use the wall charger, USB charging is painfully slow for me... if i am using the device, load can exceed the incoming current and the phone will still discharge. Moral of the story > USB charging = useless.

It really isn't a matter of slow charging. I'm charging it overnight so the speed at which it charges doesn't matter to me. As long as it is charged when I wake up. I've been using the same computer to charge my phones/tablets/cameras for two years and I've never had a problem. I'm not even using the device though, it is at night when I'm sleeping.

I have the same problem all of a sudden. Happened twice in the past week, never happened for months before. I never charge from a computer, always with the provided adapter and cable from the wall. A few hours into the night, before the phone is at 100% (varies from 70-90%), it just stops charging. Battery graph looks very similar to the one in this thread already posted.
I wonder which device switches the current off, the phone, or the wall adapter. I would have guessed the phone, and if that is correct swapping the wall adapter won't do anything.

Or you can use Fast Charge from Google Play and flash Franco Kernel.
Then you'll be able to switch from USB Charge to AC Charge by charging with your computer.
However, the battery will heat and you may consume its life, so do not do that too often, only when necessary if you expect using your phone very long times as i do, i just change phone every 5 years or more, depending of my needs.
Also, i noticed than USB Charging slowing down the charge at around 80%, but still charging, i read with Battery Monitor Widget, and i seen it will gives minus ampere.
I almost forgot, you may also calibrate your battery, the first time, charge it to 100%, then remove the file "batterystats.bin" from /data/system or wipe it threw Recovery, that will ensure you to use your battery to 100% next time.

Mine seems to stop charging at 100% and go back down also. Mine usually is between 95-100% when I wake up though. Is that just how this phone works to protect the battery? I've never noticed this in any other phone I've had.

Charging Isn't Working

I have had ongoing charging issues.
My original micro USB charging cable stopped functioning after some time. I switched to another one that worked very well for a few months. Than that one stopped working. I would plug either one in and it wouldn't recognize. I finally wrote it off as a faulty micro USB port so I ordered a POGO cable.
I got the cable yesterday and it started charging immediately. I got up to about 37% and than charging stopped. I unplugged, replugged, rebooted, etc. I left it on the charger over night. It's consistantly loosing power. I even tried switching it off and than charging without being booted. The battery charging indicator would come on, show the charging animation than disappear and continue to die.
I'm getting quite frusterated at this point. I am running CM 10.2. I have a sneaky suspicion that the culprit might be a corrupted part of the rom. My next step is to try things like factory wipe or flashing a new version of a rom. If that doesn't work, I don't know what else to try.
Any ideas?

Solved
It turned out to indeed be some problem with the rom. After doing a factory reset, it started to charge in the correct direction. I'm now at 100%.
Out of curiousity, does anyone know what would happen to a rom to make it drain a batter, even when connected to a charger?

If for some reason it is using 100% of its CPU, the Nexus 10 can potentially draw more power than the microUSB or Pogo chargers can provide.

Why doesn't my oneplus two charge properly

When i charge my oneplus two these days, i found that time taken to fully charge my phone becomes longer. The voltage is lower than usual. Its normally 4.1v, but these days its 3.187v. Besides, every few minutes, the phone doesn't charges and i have to adjust the cables and turn the switch on off again and again. Its frustrating. Please tell me why this happened. I just bought this phone a month ago. And this is my first smart phone

Umm.. no
All your data... like wifi passwords, google account, contacts(not media, when anyone says media, it means they are referring to photos, videos, music and documents) will be erased if you perform a factory reset.
Factory reset clears all your settings, accounts, downloaded apps, and app data.
EDIT: Report back, I'll assist you.
Also are you charging it from wall charger or PC/Laptop?

Im charging it from a wall. And the charging speed is very slow. I asked other guys on other websites, they said that it might be the cable that is malfunctioning. But im still a beginner and doesn't know much. Besides, if i have to perform a factory reset, how long will it take because i don't have a backup phone.

Factory reset takes a couple of minutes before the phone has formated the data partition and rebooted.

Yes, factory reset will not take more than 13mins.
How are you measuring voltage and current?

I'm having the same problem, i tried a factory reset and it was not solved. Now im going to try and flash a 6.0 Rom (Bliss Rom) and see if it gets fixed.

I downloaded a app called du battery saver. It controls and shows me ge voltage when i charge it and how often i charge it. But these days i can't charge properly and it keeps discharge when there's a slight movement when I'm charging.

No you don't need to pay for factory reset. Factory reset is a part of Android Code. You can find it in Settings > Backup & Reset. <-Do this only if you have back up.

to be honest, DU battery save is the worst thing you can download. Unistall it and try charging..
my device charges in around 2hrs.. how much is it taking to you for full charge?
later try this app for measuring current.

So, what did u do?

My less than a week old OPT is displaying similar issues. I think its the cable... If I use Ampere to check the amps, on the OPT with the stock cable, it averages about 180-200ma for a few minutes and then says power disconnected. Unplugging and replugging will again prompt the charging to begin, shows very low ma and finally same thing. The device just won't charge when powered on. However if I turn it off, the charging icon stays on for a long time, so perhaps the software is telling it to disconnect the charger when the input received is too low. Not sure if its okay to charge with the phone off and at very low ma, but I may have no option at the moment.
I know the charger is not the problem because I installed Ampere on my Samsung tablet and tried the same charger (stock OPT) with the samsung type b cable. 1400ma it was averaging. Tried the OPT stock cable with another charger as well as a battery pack, same thing, less than 200ma for a few minutes and then zzzzzzz ...
To make absolutely sure its the cable and not the phone, I've ordered a Type C adapter. Hopefully will receive it tomorrow and can rule out a phone problem. In the meantime, I am also asking around to see if any of my friends might have a Type C cable. If they do, can check against that also.
UPDATE: Tested with friend's Type C cable from his Xiaomi 4C. Works perfectly. The cable is defective. Amazon is giving me a free cable, so all is well ... for now

When i charge my oneplus two these days, i found that time taken to fully charge my phone becomes longer. The voltage is lower than usual. Its normally 4.1v, but these days its 3.187v. Besides, every few minutes, the phone doesn't charges and i have to adjust the cables and turn the switch on off again and again. Its frustrating. Please tell me why this happened. I just bought this phone a month ago. And this is my first smart phone

I personally had this problem and also my cable pin used to pop out ad soon as i plug it into the port of phone. Then i read that oneplus 2 USB c is not according to standard dimensions. Oneplus ceo said that he'll replace the cables free of cost. I sent it and got repaired.
Thus contact the oneplus service and they'll reply you!
And other than that, don't plug the charger into an extension as the power supply is limited.
If u are really unable to wait for full charge, turn on airplane mode or switch off and charge it (which is worse i guess )

How did you repair the cable? Can you teach me how? And is the oneplus cable of yours working now?

My less than a week old OPT is displaying similar issues. I think its the cable... If I use Ampere to check the amps, on the OPT with the stock cable, it averages about 180-200ma for a few minutes and then says power disconnected. Unplugging and replugging will again prompt the charging to begin, shows very low ma and finally same thing. The device just won't charge when powered on.

There is no way to fixed the Oneplus original defective cable, it has a tiny resistor built into it which has the wrong resistance which can confuse the phone into believing it is connected to PC USB which brings down the maximum charging rate as not to cause a fire or damage the "USB port".

Can no longer charge

Hi everyone. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me so bare with me.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 with a 10,000 mAh Zerolemon battery. I've flashed many ROMs, and have never had an issue like this before.
No matter what I do, what ever USB cord I use, charger, computers, everything, my phone will not charge.
I'm using the latest version of RRN (5.8.5) with the lineageos kernel.
I'm almost certain its something to do with the kernel, but I can't backup or restore at the moment.
Has anyone had this happen to them before?

Any solution identified?

Interesting. Because my SCL22 (Note 3, Japan) is unmolested. So if I reflash stock rom to a stock rom phone, it'll fix it? Hmm... OK! I'll give it a whirl but I suspect that it is a machete solution for a scapel's work.
I'll describe my exact problem for those just joining the conversation... Phone does not charge using the factory charger, ever (while powered on or off). While powered on and charging attempted with wall charger, all indications are given of it charging (red LED, bolt on battery, status listed as Charging); however, battery actively drains while 'charging' on the wall charger (again, while powered on or not). But, when connected to a computer, and charging status changes to (USB), it'll give the same charging indications (but say USB) and it'll actually charge.
What I have noticed is that there was a time that when I connected my phone [to the computer], I would have to tell it to charge from USB, or act as a file storage device; it was one or the other. I couldn't transfer files AND charge while connected to a computer. Now, I can. But it will not charge on any wall charger (wife and I both have same charger. Mine chargers her phone, hers drains my battery just like my own.) This is also while using the factory charging cable... it only charges using a computer.
Oh yeah... also doesn't charge while in Safe Mode, nor after the cache has been cleared.
If I have to reflash the device, I may as well root it again. I'm no longer playing Pokemon, so doesn't matter. I'll reply [with] whatever I end up doing and its results.
