I have tried many wm6 roms lately and settled for the core 2.0n which is brill for me. Anyway recently started noticing that if i charged up my wizard via my laptop then the battery level would go down over time as it should. But if i charged up via the mains charger that came with the wizard it stays stuck at 100%. Now i could get round this problem by reseting the wizard or removing the battery, then it would be ok again. But now it's stuck at 100% regardless of what i do.
I did have the latest BS installed, but i have removed this the other day thinking it might be that, but it's still stuck at 100%
any ideas please ?
just stay like that.. dont reset your phone.. resetting phone will make battery gauge inacurate.. play some mp3 and let the battery drain.. dont reset for now..

Mine been doing the same weird stuff with Core 2.0n with BS. I find eventually it figures itself out after while and starts working normally.
ok thanks for that, i will leave it alone then. I have probably been making it worse by reseting it and turning it off and on. It's just weird seeing it at 100% even though you have bluetooth on and wireless on and browsing etc etc. But now after a few days it is going down again. I guess it gets confused, maybe it needs a few charge / discharges.
cheers anyway

I've searched the forums and have not seen anything quite like my problem, so if I missed an important thread, I'm sorry.
Over the weekend, I plugged my Captivate (using a stock battery) into the official Samsung charger and overnight my roommate semi-dislodged the charger. When I woke up and grabbed my phone it only registered a few hours of charging yet still had almost full battery. Upon rebooting the phone, I was sent into a bootloop. Not at the ROM, not at the Kernel, not even at the bootloader. It goes so far as to show the white loading ring at the center of the screen which never moves. At one point, a thin pink line appears halfway through the screen as it shuts down and reboots, never making it any farther. If I plug the phone in, it will boot normally though it does not accurately report battery levels or charging.
Other oddities: after 5 minutes of a phone call, the phone hard crashes. Not FC's, but just goes black. Upon a reboot, I get stuck into the same boot loop. If I plug the phone into the wall charger without a battery, it will go into the turned-off charging animation and show a 100% charged battery. Furthermore, my other roommate has a brand new i9000 so I tried that battery (again, stock Samsung) and it continues in the same bootloop. I have tried flashing other ROMS and going back to stock, but that does not seem to help.
Other info: I was running OneCosmic's ICS 3.1 with no overclock and light undervolting at the time. It was perfectly stable for the few days until the charger dislodged. I am also out of warranty and am not eligible for a hardware upgrade so repairing my Captivate would be ideal. I also have a usb jig if that is of any use to this scenario.
Has anyone experienced anything remotely like this? If not, what debugging steps should I attempt?
What I would suggest is using one of the ODIN one clicks and flash back to stock
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
I've flashed back to Rogers 2.2 stock. Doesn't help. It actually made it harder for me to get the phone started though I have yet to make a phone call from it.
Have you had the phone for less than a year? if so call at&t(or rogers) and they'll replace it for you.
then try factory reset
then try using odin or rom manager to flash back to stock
When all else fails, flash to cm7. that will completely wipe everything and start from scratch.
if that STILL dost work.... than you can be sure that its a hardware problem :/ theres nothing you can do except replace and sell for for parts.. sorry
You may want to try clearing the battery stats. Something in there may be telling the phone that the battery is completely dead and it shuts the phone down in the middle of the boot. Just a guess, though.
It sounds to me like the phone might have gotten confused aobut how much battery life it actually has. You might also try getting it loaded up and then letting it drain the battery completely down. Reset the stats and then fully recharge the phone.

I have exactly the same problem, I did the reset of the battery stats and still not working.
Did you solve the problem?
thanks

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, however, no amount of battery calibration could get it to work. Furthermore, a bad flash has made the situation even worse. Now Im bootlooping even when plugged in and when unplugged my jig is of no help. I have declared my Captivate dead.
Best of luck toominds, if you get it to work, let me know. I'd love to have a spare phone sitting around.
Hi guys,
I recently ran into this problem after I woke one morning to my alarm clock blaring for about half an hour, the phone was pretty hot but not unbearably hot. I took out the battery and left the phone to cool down til trying to boot again, when I did the phone booted fine but it soon shut off again 5-10 seconds into loading into android. I assumed the heat knocked the charge out of the battery / something went wrong with the reading of the battery (as it read like 85%) so I just plugged it into the charger and left til it said it was full. It doesn't shut off by itself and works fine while on the charger regardless. But as soon as I unplug the phone dies within a few seconds. So I turned off the phone and let it charge overnight, woke again to the same issue and the battery reading 85% again. Before I booted back up though I tried the "Wipe Battery Stats" thing in CWM hoping that maybe it would fix it after I fully charged but it made no difference. Also I found that the phone is able to run off the charger when I severely underclock it to 250MHz but obviously it's too damn slow for every day use at that speed. As soon as I clocked it up to 480MHz it had the same issue again. I forgot to mention I was rooted with CWM, unlocked bootloader and on stock rom. After this I decided to revert to my pre-root back up rom from CWM and I still had the same issue.
The final thing that seems to make it work is removing the sim, I tried booting this morning without sim and the phone functions flawlessly even while under a heavy stress test without turning off. So I tried inserting another sim, this one not active. Issues start up again...
Any Ideas guys? Seems to me like if the phone is pulling "too much power" the phone auto shuts itself off. But then the SIM thing perplexes me, not really sure how it all affects.
Lastly, do you think I can still claim on my warranty? I've had this phone for just under a month and it's still in perfect condition... I really don't want to switch back to my chopped and screwed Motorola Flipout. But atleast that thing could handle the overheating pretty damn well. Also I didn't get this on contract I bought it outright from a reseller as a prepaid phone.
In the Netherlands, the warranty for a phone battery is set to six months by law, just contact HTC, and find out.

Hey all, I just got through with this hurricane sandy business and now I find my phone not working at all. First off I'd like to say that there is no water damage to this phone and it is NOT rooted. The problem is that it just won't turn on at all, and won't charge when I try to charge the device. The day before I charged the phone and it worked fine. I can provide more details if needed but I need to find a solution to this.
Did it run down on battery completely before it did this? You might need to charge it for a bit before it turns on. Also, see if you can get your hands on a spare battery to see if it's the battery's problem. I would also try removing the battery and putting it back just to make sure it wasn't jostled loose.

Two days ago I completely let the battery drain on its own because it was draining faster than usual and I was using it very minimally due to the lack of phone signal during the power outage. And yesterday I charged it until it was 100% in the morning and at night I charged it again until 100%. Before I went to bed, I turned off my phone and it was 90% and when I turned it on in the morning it was at 77% (which I thought was weird since the phone was not even on). Now the phone will not work at all. I took the battery out and everything. I even tried turning the phone on while trying to charge it (but it would not charge). The only feedback I got was that it vibrated when I tried turning it on this afternoon and after that was nothing. (it would either get stuck at the AT&T bootup part or I would get no display at all)

And nothing happened to it in between at all? That's very odd. The only thing I can think of to try is another battery.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

Nothing I can think of. It was fully charged by 9PM the other night and shut off before I went to bed. Next morning the batter is nearly halfway drained for no apparent reason. I think I will get another battery to test.
Also I let the battery sit out of the phone for a few days now and the phone still does not work.

Get a hold of a charged battery, then after 1 hour with no battery in the device, replace the battery remove the SD-Card and the SIM-Card, replace all covers. Reboot your PC and go to firewall tab in the control panel and turn of your firewalls, then reboot your PC, then using USB data cable not a charging cable.. with your device being OFF conect to a USB connection in the back of your PC, if it's a laptop use the one next to the intranet connection. Then wait about 1min. If nothing happwned, hold the volume down button then press and release the power button. if nothing happened, hold the volume up then press and release the power button. If nothing happened do the samething this time by holding both up and down volume buttons. If nothing happened with your device connected to the PC go to MY Computer tab right click on C>Properties then go to tools click on check disc tab check mark both options then restart your PC. Before windows tour OS starts, your PC will go through a self check. let it do its thing. it takes a couple of hours. then after its down check to see if it has seen your device. if not then do procedures above once again. GOOD LUCK.

Okay so I finally got it to turn on but in order to charge it, the phone must be turned off for some reason. Also, the touch screen is not working, even after I did a hard reset and erased all my data. I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue or a software issue because the display is working fine.

That same thing happened to a friend of mine. She took it to a technician tho and they sorted it out for her.
Hello every one, this just my first post here, but I have been follow the forum very very close since some days ago thanks to Mustaavalkosta and his new CyanogenMod Rom here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2533007&page=283.
I am having a similar problem with my HTC Inspire, here is my story. I bought it like it a year ago, the first thing I do was to rooted with AAHK and install CyanoyenMod cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-ace. Everything works just fine till a couple of months ago. One night I just leave my Inspire and go to sleep, the next morning I wasn't able to turn on, not charging, not turn on. Was not the battery because my brother has another Inspire and I check with his battery. I just leave the phone without the battery and Sim and SD for a day and them come back again, but at next day the same occurs. I try all that time, vol down+power. voldown+volup, every convination but nothing works. So I decide to dissensambly my phone... in the process I broke the ribbon flex cable http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-HTC-Desire-HD-Inspire-4G-Camera-Socket-Keypad-Membrane-PBC-Ribbon-Flex-Cable-/320925341841?pt=US_Cell_Phone_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item4ab8a41891 The phone was in parts on my table like a month till I was able to buy and recieve the ribbon (I live in Colombia). Finally the ribbon arrives 3 days ago, so I assembled the phone again and...magic! the phone turns on. My next step was install the Mustaavalkosta Rom that I mentioned before.... but, yesterday, my phone was dead again. So a try all steps again, put out the battery, Sim and Sd... and again try all the combinations of buttons, but nothing works... So I do it again: dissensably again my phone: Only disconnecting the display doesn't works... I have to disconect the display and the ribbon cable, assembled again and just turn on again.... Now I am waiting for the next black out...
I know is a weird behavior, but may be some one can point me in some direction to fix it.. I am not a developer or anything like that, but I like to investigate and solve problems... any help will be wonderful.
Cheers!
PD: I dont have any apps installed, just trying the Rom as it is.
PD: The next time it happens I will try the niavaran advises.
Hi guys. For the past three days, I have a weird problem. When I am charging my transformer, it seems to not go above 59%. At first I thought it maybe was a bug, as it happened a short time after installing and running BOINC for android. The thing is, I also put it in my phone, which is an older SE xperia x10i, with no such problem. I even changed a power outlet, but no change, still stuck at 59 % in overnight charge, once it hit that number it stopped showing that it was charging. Also, I uninstalled BOINC and the problem didn't go away.
Any help is appreciated!

I just got mine back form the factory (refurb that had tons of flickering issues first week i got it) and after I got it back I updated and mine does the same thing. at first I thought it just didn't charge with the screen off but now that you said 59% it always seems to be at 59% i've tried both charging it with the original wall wart and cable, and trying to use the keyboard dock but it's the same both times it stops at 59

Update *FIXED*
I got mine back from RMA, it had 4.1.2 on it, there was an update though so I did it (with the keyboard dock plugged in, not sure if that is important) I never used it before the update so I'm not sure if it was the update or that's just a problem with how it was shipped back to me, but it would consider 59% a full charge and stop charging.
Fix
Factor reset, seems to work fine now, at 80% and climbing I'll report back if anything else happens.
Thanks for the response. I was kinda hopping I wouldn't have to factory reset, I takes quite some time to reroot and restore from TB. At least, it's good that it seems to be software and not hardware related, at first I thought that maybe something on my charger had snapped and it wasn't providing adequate voltage for the remaining 41%.
Update, everyday i do a factory reset, it works fine but the next day it won't charge, this had happened twice.
Factory reset fixes it but the next day it's broken again.
i'm going to run down the battery and see if it will charge up to 59% and get stuck there again or if it just doesn't charge overall. So before you go factory reset and setup all your apps give it a few days and make sure it works right.

Funny thing, my tablet actually started charging back to 100% again. Or, to be more accurate, the indication is 100%, I haven't run performance tests to see the actual charge level. I have no idea what caused it or if it fixed itself permanently.
Hello,
I am an owner of HTC Sensation, rooted with Android Revolution 7.3.
My phone has ~1,5 years, since its first days i was using Android Revolution ROM, never had any problem.
Today, my phone first lost signal. Itcould not connect to any mobile network so I tried to restart it, when i got back to it after 5 minutes, the phone was stuck on beats audio logo and when i touched it, it felt very hot, it was never that hot even I used it for hours playing some games or browsing internet. (I think it was processor, down side of the phone, below battery, but because of that battery got a bit hotter too) I had to pull off the battery, I've waited till it got cold and tried to run again but rom was not working so i reflashed it from my sd card, after the next restart (phone did not get hot) when phone was checking installed apps, it simply turned itself off. Before battery showed around 80% charged, after reinstall 30% and it happened in max 10 minutes ,but after that shut down I could not turn it on. LED was not working, I tried pulling off battery, charging it, charging without abttery then connecting it, trying to reboot with abs but PC could not see the device.
The only thing I noticed, when i was trying tocharge it for the first time, processor was getting hotter but LED was not working, but then, it simply went cold.
I have no idea what I could do more here, it looks like hardware problem but te only thing i could not check was putting a new battery and try it then. Is there anything I can do more about it?
For any help, thank you.
PS: When the phone 'died' it was using faux123's 1,5 GHz kernel which came with the ROM. AsI said, before this event, everything was working perfectly, no sign of this incoming event. No restarts, freezes or crashes.
*If it matters, i was charging phone every 4-5 days, never let it go below 10%, bettery is from HTC EVO 1730mAh (original).
can you boot to the bootloader?
if yes do it and select from there reboot
see how it goes

try this
remove battery,sim and sdcard and charge as it is for 4-5 hours
put them back and switht it on
see how it goes

Re-tried these methods, hoped I had done soemthing wrong before. I saw the artice before, was hoping there are different ways to revive the phone. Tried this, says device not found. Looks like the only method would be this JTAG box but it's a bit expensive or try to send it to repair.
Anyway thank you for your time, I appreciate it.
-And if I might ask, any idea why the phone heated up itself on nearly last startup as I mentioned in my thread? It would be allright if the phone just died before this event, now it just makes me think there might be bigger hardware problem which just caused the death and it's not worth repair.
