Hi, I got a HTC 7 Pro which has been working fine for the last 4+ weeks.
Suddenly for some reason the battery level indicator on the phone is now showing a Question Mark - its was working OK until today. When I plug in the phone, I can see Zune start on the laptop and can sync up, etc. Also when plugged in the LED rapidly changes from Green to Amber.
The battery status still shows a question mark when plugged in or not. I have tried rebooting the phone, and removed the battery (for a few mins) but nothing fixed it.
I don't know if the phone is charging or not.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I would say not. Sounds like the OS is having a problem identifying your battery. If you had another battery you could test to see if it was the battery or the phone.
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply. That would seem odd as the OS did not have any issue for the last 4 odd weeks - why would it suddenly have this?
I don't have another battery but will ask around.
Regards.
I got an update for everyone else - the phone is dead despite being plugged in all night. So clearly the battery is kaput. Will get in touch with HTC to get a replacement.
Also, I have a HTC Wildfire and as it happens, it has the same battery (thank you HTC for that excellent design decision). I was able to put that and test the HTC 7 Pro and it works just fine. The conclusion being, it has nothing to do with the OS, but the battery is dead.
Thanks.
I understand this to be a charging problem. The light going from red to green happens when it isnt being charged properly. Happened to me when I had it connected to a crappy car charger.

So here's the story..
Flashed the ROM to WM6 (Dr.Dots BlackDiamond 3.1). Had a couple hickups where I had to go through it a coupe times, but after an hour or so, got it and it's worked fine since. Ever since though, I've noticed that my battery meter doesn't reflect the charge of the battery. When I click on the battery icon, it tells me that the battery status us "unavailable" and shows nothing. Got the Battery Status .cab, loaded it on the phone, and it shows a charge of "-1%." Phone dies today on the way home from work. Plugged it into my car charger and nothing. It won't charge there at all. I can leave it pugged in for about 20 minutes and attempt to turn it on and it'll come up into the white and pink "tmobile" screen then dies out. Same thing when I plug it in here on the desktop. When I plug it into the actual home charger, it comes up, charges and I have the LED illuminated on the MDA.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this and what is the fix? I've seen a couple threads about "jumpstarting" and whatnot, but I've got to believe that there is another problem that isn't allowing me to charge with a car charger or a usb desktop charger. I never had this problem with the POS Tmobile ROM so I'm not thinking its a hardware issue at all.
Can anyone out there let me know if there's something I'm doing wrong? I don't know if there's a software conflict with the stuff I have on my MDA or if there are issues with my current IPL/SPL/GSM/OS that aren't allowing it to function correctly.
Any help is alway appreciated.
Thanks guys,
Ivan
nobody has any ideas???
So my battery status shows -1% with the empty bar. 100% signal...can't be right, never is always 100%. And the temp shows a steady 32* F...Im in my living room and it ain't that cold.
Maybe remove and reinstall it??
Isn't there supposed to be some kind of battery status indicator on most WM6 ROMs??? I have nothing at all...
-Ivan
Ok, don't anybody rush to help a brother out....lol!
SO I flashed to 2.47.11 Radio and all of the sudden, guess what?
That's right, I now have a battery status showing and I can charge from the computers USB port...
Friggin phenomenal.
So hopefully the new Radio ROM won't give me crap when it comes to actual calls.
Anybody else running this Radio? Experiences with it?
Thanks again,
Ivan
Hi all,
i've got a normal nexus s, not rooted or anything, its running 2.3.2 as i haven't had the OTA yet. However strange things have started happening this week with regards to my battery.
I can no longer shutdown the phone whilst its plugged in, it goes through the motions, vibrates and then just hangs on the dimmed screen with shutdown on it. when i unplug the cable, it switches off. However, when i then plug the cable in, it starts up the phone, instead of just charging when switched off with that white battery meter.
It has also stopped recognising that it has been plugged in on the battery use info screen, so it is saying that i have been on battery power for almost 6 days now.
Its not a dealbreaker for me, but i haven't tinkered with anything, and its just plain annoying. I'm starting to think its just shizzle samsung hardware. Anyone any ideas? Or same thing happened? Cheers.
HI,
Looking for some help to get my nexus 5 working. The phones battery indicator is always at 0% not matter what I’ve tried (I’ve played youtube for like 3 hrs so I know there is juice in the battery)
[*]Whats wrong :
The phone battery indicator is always showing that it needs to be charged.
The phone battery indicator is always at 0%.
Settings -> Battery shows battery as “Unknown”
When powered on the screen does not show anything (you can tell its on cuz it connects to the computer. The battery cable has to be disconnected and reconnected as mentioned below to get the screen and phone working.)
Things done with no results
Swapped batteries from a working nexus.
Reinstalled stock ROM (L)
Left to charge overnight.
Cleaned cache from Recovery Mode
Used app to recalibrate the battery
The phone itself will boot up with a blank screen. I have to unplug the battery connector and then plug in the power USB. At this point it only shows the battery with flash. Its on for some seconds and the reboots over and over again.
I get it to work by connecting back the battery to the main board during one of the loops. (Sometimes holding the power +Volume up to get to the google display and then connecting)
Any help ??
When you installed L did you use the Google flash all bat file?
Sent from my Android L Nexus 5 via Tapatalk
Yes ..I ran the flash-all.bat
The phone itself was in Kit Kat when I got it with this issue. I tried it with L to see if the issue would go away.
Other than flashing 4.4.4 clean...with wipes and seeing how it is...it could be a hardware issue unfortunately.
You've discovered the holy grail of infinite battery usage? I'm not seeing any issue here. JK, it's probably a bug in the preview software as can be expected.
Could be a bad battery as well.
already tried that as well.
The phone boots up to a blank screen. Only way to see anything on the screen is to unplug and replug the battery wire. Then everythings normal up until you have to restart.

I am on the same page. My Nexus is showing same results. I have also replaced the battery with a new one. Only one thing different in mine, I started noticing signal drops then the radio completely started to went off. Now the battery is at 0% always whenever I get it to boot that is. Otherwise it's blank with vibrations.
A fix is in great need. Also, I have tried multiple ROMs right now I am on the latest L Build.
Can you replace your flex cable with a working Nexus and write the results? I think it might fix it from the hardware side. Where I live, the flex cable isn't available! :-/
Hello Everyone,
So I am in a bit of a dilemma, I am fixing a screen on my HTC One M8, I thought I had the phone fixed and ready to go, everything worked perfectly except when I plugged in the phone to a charger on the screen the phone said charging however in the upper screen where the battery icon is there was an exclamation point over the battery logo. So I used the phone normally (again everything was perfect) until the phone naturally died. So I thought I would try again, I plugged it into a charger and the phone blinked on and showed the battery at 0%, the orange charging light came on, everything seemed normal. However about 5 seconds later the orange light started blinking and the 0% battery logo was replaced by a battery with an exclamation point over it. I took the phone apart again and made sure everything was connected properly. I am just wracking my brain because the battery was fine previously, and obviously the charging port was working (because the phone was turning on and recognizing that it had been connected to a charger) and the phone worked fine and discharged at a normal rate after fixing it. However I cannot get the battery to recognize that it is being connected to a power supply and charge up it seems. I just do not get it, any insight to this issue would be much appreciated! Thank you all!

Probably not what you want to hear but it probably needs opened back up. Sounds like part of the battery connection is loose or severed.

Hello, thanks for the reply. I actually have it apart now, and there is only one place where the battery connects to the phone, and since the battery was working (the phone was powered on) I assume it was connected properly however I do not know for sure. This is really annoying!
Same thing for me
I had my screen replaced by UbreakIfix and had a terrible experience, so bad that they refused to fix my phone when the screen broke again. I replaced my screen and the phone works and recognizes when the charger is plugged in but I have the same issues. Gray battery icon with exclamation and a flashing orange LED when plugged in. The charge has shown 27% and 33% but it won't charge. I tried wipe partition cache, factory reset, battery Calibration app, and the battery data wipe (holding power,volume up/down for 2 minutes) Whats left? I'm on a Verizon M8 running lollipop 5.0.1
Hello! I have my OnePlus One running one of the latest CM nightly build (20150827), and a few days ago I realised that there was a problem when I charge my phone. It seems to work well (the led puts red, the battery circle icon starts spining) but it's not charging at all. In fact when I left it alone for some hours, it has less battery than when I plugged it.
Today I reached 0% and when I plugged it the battery circle shows the lightning but it blinks between all red and all grey very fast, like if a was pluggin and unplugging it very fast. After several minutes it doesn't overtake 0%. If I disconnect it, it powers off inmediatly.
While I was writing this it suddenly got to 30%
I have tried several sources (official charger, Xiaomi power bank) and different usb cables. I've also experienced this with other nightly from a month ago (I flashed the newer to see if that works to solve it) and the problem only shows sometimes. Thank you for reading!
Sounds like a faulty usb port on the phone to me. If you're able to charge it at all you should try flashing the stock images to go back to stock, but only do this if you're able to get it to charge above 30% because of the phone powers off during the process it could brick the device.
I was just wishing it not to be a hardware problem... But if stock CM doesn't work I guess I'm opening a ticket. Let's see what happens
