I welcome. I have the very untypical problem.
It all started with it around the phone started showing that the battery is unloaded, in spite of it around was loaded up. I thought cool it apparently a battery fell down. I bought new and unfortunately the same. Since the battery almost on max is loaded up the rally is loading it for moments and then loading is turning off. However an indicator of loading up on the nought and an announcement of the weak battery are demonstrating the system and it is disconnecting. I thought ok I will make hard reset and most probably he will help, however it turned out around not. Yeah rally loaded WM6 together with new ROM and unfortunately the same old story. I will still add around after this moment when is loading and an orange diode is shining and the indicator is showing the battery around loading is when he is finishing an indicator is appearing around empty battery and with stamp 'x'.
I hope around somebody here will help me. And perhaps somebody knows where in the register it is possible to change placing so that the system doesn't download details about loading the battery up and he wasn't mutually exclusive
Say what?
Can you please ask someone to translate so we can at least understand what your problem is?
ok I write it with my words.
When I switch on my phone battery indicator in main screen shows zero and sign '!' and the telephone switch off itself.
When I put usb cable or telephone battery charger and switch on my phone the phone charging about 10-20 seconds and after that battery indicator shows empty battery and sign 'x'. The phone still work but the indicator in Settings/Power Managment/Main Battery is completely empty.
I have new battery so battery is ok. I made hard reset and changed software from wm5 to wm 6.1 and the battery still isn't charging.
I hope that it is undertanding now.
Has the battery indicator ever worked while you've owned the phone, or is this something that has happened since upgrading your ROM? Having said that, this sounds more like a hardware issue to me. Try taking the battery out and cleaning the pins on the phone. If you've tried different ROM's, I don't believe it's a software issue and after a quick search of the forum, I haven't found anybody with a similar issue, which I would expect to if it were software related
The battery indicator worked normally and one day it stopped working. I upgraded ROM becouse i thought that it help.
I have second question. Whether it is possible to change the register this way so that the starting system doesn't read the level of battery charge out.
I have the same problem. Did you solve it?

Does anybody know if there is a Today Screen plugin which monitors the charging uptime?
History for my question:
I changed my car and the new Board Computer (BC) doesn't show the time from starting the engine (my previous car BC did it). It was a nice feature and so I thought this could be done by my PocketPC (MDAc) starting the uptime clock when I put it into my active Brodit holder in my car....
You could try this
You could try this software.
Looks good. Will try it. Thanx for your quick response.
I could find any setting in this application to start the clock when charging. Only reset the counter to zero when charging.
Any other apps?
No software available for my request?
sounds like a pretty specific program you want
maybe you should have somebody custom make it for you
seemed to be so.
but is a today screen which displays the charging time such a special thing?
donno never heard about it before
nor have i ever wanted for it before
Contactor-E - it could be written easily enough, but I'm afraid I have no time right now, setting up my website and finishing off another ton of stuff for you guys.
I assume that someone's written one, but I really can't think of one...
V
I will try to start programming my application...
I'll report here about my success.
Some of what you want may be displayed with Beemer's TodayWarrior:
http://personales.ya.com/beemer/todaywarrior1.htm
There are various toggle icons that show: battery %, elapsed time from last charge, charging, estimated remaining battery time, time to 100% charge, battery volts, current (mA), consumption (mW), temperature. There are also icons for power off, always on, etc.
However, I had problems with its WiFi monitoring side (this can be disabled). It would detect the WLAN, but then hang the application and Xda Exec. The extra WiFiKnife utility didn't work, however, my problems may have been because I ran it from SD-card - haven't had time to test further.
Thank you, but TodayWarrior does not support showing the charging time. Only "Charging" is displayed when connected on power.
here's one
it shows the charging time as well as the time running on batteries. also shows battery indicator and device active time (time the device is turned ON and not sleeping).
it can hide or change its size when running on batteries/charging to save screen space.
you can customize it separately for charging/batteries
see screen shorts
have fun.

thanks, RAR did what I told it to do and not what I wanted it to do
Tried this on Windows Mobile 5, on the O2 Exec (Universal), and couldn't get it to do anything at all.
Hi zfiser!
Works GREAT !!!!!!!!!!! on my MDA compact !!!!
Wow!!!!!!!
Just installed but seems that this is the application I looked for!!!!!!!
Whrer did you find this app? Did you program it?
Do you know what the plugin number is for?
Thanks again!!!
Yes Works great on my Qtek 9100 under WM 5.0
Thanks for this app
The plugin number is to indicate the height you want for the plugin on the today page.
UPDATE
all right guys, since actually 3 people got it and 2 even got it working, I decided to spent some more hours on it. it's quite fun actually.
so, what is new?
1) AUTOSIZE - the plugin automatically decides its height based on your setting. You can still manually override it.
2) ACTUAL CHARGING TIME - now showing time it's plugged in to outlet and also time the battery was charged for. when the battery is fully charged the time stops and you can see how long it took to charge it.
3) ICONS! yea! I think that's pretty cool, saving you a lot of space on the screen while showing everything, plus it looks freaking awesome!
4) more options - the plug can turn itself to color red when the battery level falls under a certain percentage, set by you. now you can't overlook that your battery is almost dead
5) BUGFIXES, yea, that nasty bug not showing minutes, I noticed too, some minor tweaks
Checkout the screenshots! And have fun. And if you still miss something in this plugin (tetris, nude women, etc), let me know
IMPORTANT NOTICE: You MUST disable the plugin in TODAY screen setting (uncheck the checkbox) BEFORE upgrading. Make sure the plugin does not show on the Today screen before you upgrade!
I made the upgrade this morning => no problem
I just want to say that I had to make a soft reset after installation otherwise the plugin didn't show on today screen.
You've done big improvments since the first version
- good idea the icons to save place
- thanks for the autosize
- I'm going to test it this wee-end but no bug at this time
- what about a log file to keep trace of every data that zfTCT record ? Could be useful I think.
Hi,
I've been experiencing some 'overnight' problems with the HTC Touch Pro lately.
The Pro is switched on for like 24/7 and works fine.
The thing is that it now and then happens that in the morning (so after a night standby time) the Touch Pro is all messed up.
Things that I have seen now:
- Device is turned off completely and needs to be turned on again (like the battery is down, but it's NOT).
- Device seems to have had a soft reset, since it shows the 'ENTER PIN' screen when I switch it on.
- TouchFLO 3D is all scrambled (see attached pictures for examples)
I think (read: hope) that it's all software and that it'll be fixed by a future ROM upgrade, since I've never had such problems with the Touch Diamond before. It's quite frustrating since the first two problems cause the fact that the phone is offline.
Do the problems sound familiar to you? I didn't find other topics concerning my experiences...
I think it may help if people also listed what apps they have installed. Up until last night, i had not had any issues with the device overnight. However after installing battery status last night, this morning the device had soft reset in the night. This is the first time in 3weeks.
The battery indicator is another issue which i think most people have. The indicator seems to get stuck and then when it updates it looks like a lot of battery has been used in a small amount of time. FOr instance my battery was reading 100% for over 4 hours then suddenly jumped to 95%. Also when charging i have had the TP stop charging at 87% and looking at the current level - only 80mA was being drawn, indicating that the battery was not charging. A soft reset later, corrected this. I am just wondering whether this is what is causing the soft resets in the night - ie the device detects that it has been charging for a long time with no battery level change and therefore resets. Just a hunch..........
- Device is turned off completely and needs to be turned on again (like the battery is down, but it's NOT).
I've had this a couple of times but hitting the power button doesnt work, I have to use the soft reset to get the phone back.
- Device seems to have had a soft reset, since it shows the 'ENTER PIN' screen when I switch it on.
Had the same thing a couple of times too.
- TouchFLO 3D is all scrambled (see attached pictures for examples)
Again, had this a few times
Not had TF3D scrambled, but had the other two. I'm pretty sure it has happened to me only when charging (other people report similar problems resuming from standby when charging). Perhaps, like me, you mainly charge the device at night?
I'm currently running with TF3D off (Settings, Today, Items, un-tick TouchFLO3D, tick some standard today items instead), and I haven't seen this problem since.
Cheers,
Graham.
hmmm...I'm very curious how this is coming...
Maby it are the installed programs that doesn't work correctly..
I'm curious if ya let the phone 'standard' so without installing all kinds of programs if the phone still has these problems.
well today on my fuze, ive been very mysterious about a flash that occurs on the Ring LED every couple of seconds, has anyone got this kind of experience before? i was just like messing around on Album on TF3D and it started it to flash like once every i should say 6 seconds?, idk but plz tell me how i can turn this off...thanks!
Most likely that means that your battery is low (below 10 or 5%)
I think you can turn it off by charging your battery
thnx alot man! well now i know what it is but umm when i charge it itll breathe for like a good 10 mins then the light will blink i think i found what would be the problem and its probably this registry cab file i downloaded to improve the battery life
http://www.isyougeekedup.com/cool-and-easy-touch-pro-fuze-feature-enhancing-registry-tweaks/
i uninstalled it and the problem went away, ill let u guys know in a little to see if this is still going on
As stated it's probably because of low battery if you don't have any unchecked events or are charging the device.
You should note that the different sistuations have different flashing style, that way you can tell them appart.
well first i dont have any events checked yet as of just an alarm that goes off at 6am, when i charge it, the breathing light will stop after 10 mins and then the blink will go off every second and the battery meter on the very top would show all bars BUT like i mentioned earlier i uninstalled a tweak and it supposely thats what caused it
I've seen it happen on mine just from having an email marked as unread in the inbox (even after dismissing the notification). Something to look out for. (Maybe had to do with the ROM at the time)
Hi guys,
I Also post this thread in the Razr I forum, but since its more a general issue instead of a specific Motorola issue, i choose to post it here as well.
I have the Razr I since 3 days now, i orderd it via ebay on a german website. I really like the phone, its amasing fast and works really great.
But since i use the phone, there's something wrong with the battery (i think!). The phone just randomly shuts down for about 40 till 60 times a day, my record for keeping it on is about 1 hour. It doesn't just falls out, but shuts down like if your battery is empty of if you push the on/off button.
This is what I know for now, by observing:
- The phone is working correctly (on of off, doesn't matter)
- The battery gives an empy signal out of nowhere (but isn't really empty)
- Due to the empty signal Android thinks the phone is empty and starts the automaticly shutdown process
- When the phone is off, i can just turn it on and the battery level is where it was before
- This cycle happens randomly, in 1 minute til 1 houre...
What i've done so far:
- Searched on google, a few similar problems, but no solutions
- Caliberate the battery
- Factory reset
- Disable apps that may couse a restart (but i don't think its a software issue tough)
- Playing with different settings, profiles etc
All those things doesn't change the randomly showing cycle that i've wrote above.
I also send an e-mail to the company where i orderd the device, so i maybe can return it and get an other one.
By the way, the phone was on JB when i received it.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be? Or is it just what my own conclusion is, a broken battery?
I hope someone can help thiking about my problem!
Cheers
Hi
I've got a brand new PH-1 and haven't yet had time to set it up properly, only started it up, let it update software and used for an hour or so before testing the idle battery drain.
I haven't installed any apps or changed any settings other than to disable the google app (to prevent it listening for or responding to "ok google"). I tried out the 360 camera, signed in to gmail and browsed a few websites, before charging back to full and restarting the phone before this test anyway.
But leaving it idle with the screen off and with phone network disabled (there's not even a SIM inserted), only wifi on with good signal, it lost 65% battery in under 22 hours. Screen on time was less than five minutes.
Is this a hardware issue I should RMA, or is it considered normal? If this is normal and there's no easy fix, I'll probably end up having to return the phone anyway for a refund, because if it can't even last a day and half in idle there's no way it would last a reasonable amount of time with normal usage.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Since there isn't a sim card installed, try going to airplane mode and then turning WIFI on.
I am getting about 1.2% drain with cell network and wifi enabled along with all my standard apps installed.
On a typical day with 1-2h SOT, I usually have 60-70% battery left at midnight. I'd try to reset the phone, and then testing again - occasionally a system update will end up doing something funny
I left it overnight with airplane mode on, so even wifi was off, and it's a little better but not by much. Screen on time was one minute.
With airplane mode on, screen off, no dodgy apps, the phone really shouldn't be doing anything to drain battery.
I'll try a full factory reset and see what happens.
Just to follow up, a full factory reset seems to have fixed the issue. Even after doing the same things I had done before (connected to wifi, updated, logged in to gmail, etc) the battery now drains at a much more sensible rate.
Very strange that a factory reset made a difference since it was new from the factory when I had the issue, but I guess something strange happened in the update like dsip suggested.
Thanks for the help!

That's ? percent normal behavior. Anytime you flash a ROM (new phone =new ROM) you need to wait a bare minimum of a charge cycle (more like three in my experience) before you get the slightest idea what your actual battery drain is going to look like. think of it like breaking in the engine on a new car.
