[SOLVED]Phone doesnt charge?

My Touch Pro has been hooked up to a charger for several hours now, and the battery still is at like 60% (which it has been around ever since I got it earlier today).. Something is wrong here, and the device gets really hot too!
Combine that with a qwerty keyboard that stops responding all the time, I think I have a faulty device, but If you can prove me otherwise.. please try!

Restart the device and check the battery level again. Strange thing happened to me for the first time tonight after two weeks of usage. I set my Pro on charge before I went to sleep. Six hours later it showed me that the battery was only 82% full. Checked the cable and left it for another hour. 87%. Decided to reset and battery was showed as absolutelly full.

Thanks!
Not sure what I did, but its working again!

This happened to me last night, phone has been on charge for 10 hours and now only just charged! Any ideas why this hapened?

Battery question. Dieing when powered off

Ok I have searched and not found anything like this yet so I am going to ask. I know the phone has battery problems all around for a lot of people. Mine seems to be fine when it is on. It can sit and idle powered on all day locked and stay at full charge. It runs about 10 hours with minimal use and maybe 8 hours with some data use and a few calls and texts. Now I am experiencing a wired problem. When I go to work we cannot have cell phones. I leave my phone in my locker and power it off. After my 12 hour shift is up at work I come back to the phone with a dead battery? What could be causing this? And has anyone else noticed this issue?

defective battery? pull the battery and see if it still does it. If it does, gotta be a defective battery.. if it doesn't do it when pulled, you're not shutting off the phone maybe?

Yesterday I tried leaving the battery out. I took the battery out and let it sit 12 hours and it still had full charge when I put it back in. When I go to work I long press on the power/lock button and choose Power off then I watch it shut down and it just dies before I come back. I wish I could watch it the whole time. Today I left the phone off for around 6 hours and came back and it was fine though. Maybe it gets turned on some how at work. I have no idea. Or when I go to power it on it is just the issue where the phone isn't reading battery % correctly and it just says 0%

Seems like a battery driver issue or a defective battery? definitely call t-mobile and check if it's the battery. I've had some issues as well, but not that bad.

Weird.
So the phone powers off after you turn the screen on and it won't come back on? Try putting the phone in airplane mode.
Also, I'm assuming you are running the stock roms?
Might also want to check into a battery monitor to see if any 1 thing is pulling it down.
I think it might just be the battery driver. Sounds like the phone is in suspend so it doesn't power off properly until the screen is turned on and is revived, updating the battery % status, seeing 0%, and turning off.
CM7 fixed the wonky battery issue a few nights ago. Right now, I think a current CM based rom is the best bet as it has most of the drivers fixed. I'ved used mine pretty heavily today, unplugged at 8am and I just got a 15% battery warning at 11:30pm. It will usually last until I go to bed at midnight but I might want to play with it some more.

From AWESOME to TERRIBLE overnight

Well, this was interesting... Since day 1, I have had great battery life and have not experienced what everyone else has been experiencing.. An occassional lock-up/reboot, but nothing major.
A couple of weeks ago, I switched to a backup battery (andida). Things have been going well w/ that battery. Yesterday, I updated cwm.. While the andida battery was out, I decided to switch back to the stock battery for a while. Then, the following items took place all within a few hours of use, which I have not experienced.. ever before:
- Battery temp running high.. Andida constantly hanging around 22.2 - 23.2. Stock was hitting around 43 until i rebooted the phone, then dropped to 40. It is currently running at 36.
- 2 shutdowns. I could not boot the phone past the LG logo after the shutdown. Was able to boot into CWM though > went to shutdown > tried to boot, same thing. Had to pull the battery in order for it to boot.
- Received a phone call, answered, but the phone kept ringing during the entire phone conversation.
- 2 screen lockups. Could slide the unlock, get the haptic feedback, but that was it. It would not unlock. Had to reboot.
- 1 black screen of death? Total black screen with the task bar displayed. Was able to go into settings, pull down the task bar, etc. Background was blacked out. Reboot, fixed.
- Can not get gps. Was driving for 5min trying to get a GPS lock, nothing. Opened up GPS test and not a single satellite showed up in the list.
- Finally... and worst of all. Last night I plug in the phone for a couple of hours. As I'm going to bed, I disconnect the usb from it.. and take a glance to see where it charged to - 100%. I go to bed at around 1:30am. I wake up at 7:30a, turn on the screen of the phone, and it gives low battery warning. It's at 2%. I reboot the phone to make sure. It's at 1%.
So idk.. maybe something was stuck running. I'll find out here shortly after this charge is done.. but I am seeing a major difference in the operation of the phone after putting the stock battery back in. I had not experienced this when I was running the stock battery in the past. (I had an occasional lockup/reboot.. but not to this scale.. and I had always had fantastic battery life. Every single time I unplugged before bed and had 100%, I would have 98% when I woke up).
Suggestions? Changes were updating to the new CWM 4 and putting the stock battery back in. Running Bionix RC1..which I have been running for a while. I'll let this sucker charge up and see what it does. Maybe I should wipe the batt stats?

yeah wipe the batt stats. possibly try cm7 its really stable now. i know it doesnt have the a2dp but every else works. i would say another kernel also faux's or morific work fine. use setcpu if your going to oc. if you choose to flash another i would do a complete wipe of everything then install so hopefully the problems wont pop back up in the new flash. i read in one of the thread that if your battery is dated 3/2011 it will have issues but the 4/2011 or whatever will have less reboot and freezes issues may wanna try getting a replacement if you wanna stick with bionix until krylon does an update.

The andida battery doesn't have a temp sensor, so it's worthless for testing temperatures.

well, idk.. who knows what the crap happened. I charged to 79% and unplugged. 2.5hrs later, I'm still at 72%. That's around 3% an hr. Last night was 17%/hr.. Something happened last night.. Man, I'd love to know what took place.
Either I had an app going wild all night, or the battery really never charged.. and the 100% was deceptive. It's just nuts how all of these probs all of a sudden surfaced right after cwm 4 and putting the stock battery back in. They never surfaced b4 on the same ROM and with the same battery that I used for weeks and weeks.
O'well....

When the battery is less than when it removed,After some time and putting it back will be full power display
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

You should wipe battery stats when doing any major rom change (stock to custom or between different roms).
Battery will always be wonky the first time before a full charge/discharge on the rom unless it is 100% and battery stats are wiped.
Typically what I do (on CM7), is when I wake up the phone is at 100%. I download the latest nightly while I'm in the shower. Jump out, it starts to flash. When its done and booted up, I wipe stats then unplug the phone and go to work.
I don't always wipe stats. But with all of the battery tweaks and fixes he's done, I will occasionally.

I very rarely ever completely turn my phone off, but last night I decided to turn it off right before I went to sleep. My battery was down to 25% right before I turned it off. When I woke up this morning the phone would not turn on. So I decided to plug it into the wall charger to see if it would help. Well the phone did turn on after I plugged it in and to my surprise the battery was showing as 0% charged which is why it wouldn't turn on without being plugged in.
So, that means that something drained my battery from 25% to 0% while the phone was completely turned off. What in the world would be running while the phone is turned off that would drain the battery like that?

Question regarding Battery/Screen.

weird situation?
ok so yesturday i flashed over the new humble.
and well i left it charging iver night.
when i woke up my i disconnected the charger and took off.
when i checked my battery stat and what was using it.
my display was at 49%
i have never had it this low its always 75% and up.
and during the time.i had it down in the 40s. it hardly wasted any battery.
and now i restarted my phone and screen is back to 89% -.-
and i havent used it at all and ita been 4 hours and am down to 88% battery only with phon at idle in my pocket. ohh and i had data off..
wat is going on!?

You need to calibrate your battery. The easiest way to do it is to use the battery calibration app you can get from the Market. Put it on the charger and wait until it is 100%, and before you unplug it, run the calibration app and press the button. After it's done, take it off the charger. For best results, you need to then completely drain the phone without ever plugging it back in and then completely recharge it again without ever unplugging it. However, just doing the initial calibration will help you out a lot.

what do u mean the initial calibration?
and do u know why my display was really low? n stayed like that?
untill i rebooted

Bad battery life

Brightness 25 percent with wifi on and battery drain 1 percent every 5 minutes
The battery was 92 percent at 9 am. Now it's 9:30 am and it's 82 percent
Also yesterday when I went to sleep at 12 pm it was 94 percent until 9 am this morning it was 92 percent and yesterday I put it in power saving mode wifi GPS Bluetooth everything off
I think I got a defective item

maybe, but maybe it's just an app that is behaving badly, do a factory wipe and do not install third party apps, then test again

i didn't do a factory reset, i don't know should i? it's new, and i didn't really follow the user manual: yesterday i got it and put it on charge for 8 hours, but while it's charging i updated the firmware, and downloaded a lot of apps (about 20 apps, no heave games), also because i was so excited so i used it every 5 - 10 minutes every hour while it was charging. basically i didn't leave it charge without using like the manual says "charge at least 8 hours BEFORE FIRST USE"
but i don't think that could make the battery goes this bad. i just ran riptide gp with brightness about 35%, after 2 minutes of playing the game the battery went down 2%, before i played the game i used asus task widget to kill all tasks, also wifi, bluetooth, gps was off, was in balanced mode.
how should i test my battery? i only charged it once, when i contacted asus about first charge question he told me that after first charge use it until it's almost dead and then charge again (like a full charge cycle or something but i don't know what that means). i think i'll contact him again and talk about this battery issues.and everything looks good, apps and games run quickly, riptide runs without lags and water effects look awesome, i don't want to return it, it's a pain, i got it from amazon and i don't even know how to ship the package back to amazon lol (i never shopped online).

Your battery was already a little charged, right? Like 20-30 percent. So the first charge/use was already performed. I usually don't leave the battery that long to charge when I have a new device. Only until 100% then I disconnect it and use it.

I think that the battery reporting lagged a bit, it had drained more than 2% through the night. Also batteries sometime take a bit to set, I recommend draining it to less than 10% once a month and fully charging without interruptions. Disable all bloarware you don't use, get auto airplane mode and autostarts. Also getting the molded buildprop from seanzcream is supposed to help a bit.

no the battery was empty, it had no power i could not even power it on, at first i thought it was dead on arrival, then i made a thread in this forum and someone told me to charge it, after charging it for 2 hours i was able to turn it on, when i asked asus do i really need to charge for 8 hours the first time like the manual says and they said:
It is recommended that you give it at least an 8 hour charge. I mean, if you don't, and charge it only 5 or 6 hours, by no means will it kill the tablet. The point of the charge is to condition the battery, which has been sitting idle for who knows how long. Letting it charge for 8 hours before putting a load on it will extend it's life and lower the chances of you getting a battery that won't hold a charge only a few days in.
When you unbox it, just plug it in and let it charge without powering it up. You can turn it on, it won't hurt it, but try not to do anything on it as it charges the first 8 hours.

that's why i let it charge for 8 hours

The first 5-10 charges are a pain... then it settles down. Ihavent much used it on stock rom but termleechs 4.0.4 aokp so no bloat on board. Just let it load a cpl of times it should settle in after that.

Can you tell me what you mean? Do you mean that the battery will get better after 5 to 10 charges?
