[Q] "?" Battery Problem - Defy Android Development

Before saying anything read please
after each reflashing I did wipe battery stats, dalvik cache data everything.
Used mcgyver stuff to get my batt on again, as it was displayed in the first picture of the thread I did it and I managed to get a full sbf working but a ? sign appeared followed by a "invalid battery" It discharges no matter if I try to charge it by usb or by charger... Tried reflashing with mcgyver but the problem persisted.
Found this http://modmymobile.com/forums/3691471-post79.html
it was very usefull it actually charged my phone battery around to 60% (that is what it displayed) so I did a reflash with the phone battery and without using mcgyver stuff but guess what?! the problem was still there..
with the 60% I managed to install cm7 in case it would solve something but the ? sign was there, changed to % and it displayed 33% and when I connect it to charger or to usb it did as it was charging (remained in 33% but the bar was goind upwards) after a while it was still 33% it auto-rebooted and was 5% then I shut it down and Its dead again
any ideas? thank you If I'm not able to solve this going to start thinking of getting another android phone lol

Don't think it's a dev related question, but...
I think you damaged your battery trying to do mcgyver trick. Just buy another one.

I had nandroid restored of wanhu's rom from khalpowers.
it was working fine,suddenly this problem occured.
then i restored to rusmod,khalpowers but no change.
note that USB port is working i could connect memory card storage to pc well.
I took off the battery when it was at 40% last night.
and when i put it back in the morning it was dead.
connecting to charger shows big battery icon with "?".later on only the 4 leds up.
will have to check for new battery then only i can use rsdlite flash.
This has happened to me back in Feb. My theory is the phone gets confused about how charged the battery is and enforces some mechanism to protect the battery incorrectly. The way I got out of it is to start it charging and watch carefully to keep it from booting. Every time it starts to autoboot, yank the battery and put it back. Repeat this for a few hours. Then do the battery calibration proceedure. I eventually got a wall charger and an extra battery because I got sick of this game and flashing ROMs seems to make it happen often (I do a lot of flashing ).

Yes i connected it to wall charger,leds lit up.half an hour later phone booted.
the market battery app showed 5% battery but phone notified connect charger and went off.
what if it charged to full and phone behaves the same.then how battery calibration will be done.cannot delete the battery bin file then.
can we delete files using openrecovery?

[Q] Power Issue.. Please Help!

Hi all,
There's this problem with my phone that everytime I charge it, it takes an elongated time to do so. This issue first emerged when I was on stock GB after a minor OTA update which added the power saver toggle to the quick settings menu..The problem is that it takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge the phone, and if I rebooted in the middle of charging when it's about 70% or 80%, it suddenly shows that the phone is fully charged, and the indicator becomes green! But afterwards the battery drains as quickly!
Now I have S-Off and using ARHD 6.6.3 ROM, but it seems the problem persists ..I wiped battery stats as soon as I flashed the ROM as well..Although it's not a problem I cannot live with, it's annoying enough when it happens.
Can someone please help me? And suggest me what to do?

its common thing...the battery calibration is not proper that's all...
also you need to wipe stats once you charge your phone to 100%
then battery will try to calibrate ...and after 3-4 full complete cycles (100-0 and 0-100)
the battery will settle..
the battery drain will be there ...whenever you flash a rom or flash a kernel....battery only settles atleast after 2 full cycles
EDIT: also download currentwidget from market..as the name says its a widget..so you will see it in widgets once you installed it...this will give you more proper reading of battery...when you plug your phone to charge...and when current widget reads 0mah then your battery is charged completely...(it might take a long time to read 0mah...but charge it until you see 0mah)..then wipe the battery stats...so after this battery calibration will be proper
Also the sudden jump of battery percentage is due to improper battery calibration
so dont worry you got no problem
So
I read somewhere that you are not supposed to let the phone go to zero because it could cause your phone to not power back on anymore..is this fact. I couldn't find where I read it to back and read again. Mine has been doing some weird things as well...the led turns green before it is 100% and it goes from 100% and drops to like 89% out of no where.

when i meant 100%-0% means until your phone turns off due to less power..it might not(or won't be) be 0% then
as i told you that kind of jumps are common ...in my case it went to 60% to 100% when i rebooted ...also the dropping used to be in large scale too

[Q] Problem with battery in charge

I just get my phone after a repair and I see a battery problem: when my phone is charging, about 82%, growth stops. If I shuts down my phone and I back on, it displays 100%.
does anyone know why and what to do about it ?
Thanks
Happened to me once, it was charging rather long than usually, stucked at around 80%, rebooted and it showed 100%. And it depleted normally.
Another time was after flashing a new rom, there was an issue so i rebooted while charging at around 80% as well, rebooted and it showed 100%, but it depleted rather fast from 100% to 90% so i knew it didnt "fully" charge. but charge it the next day and it was back to normal.
So imo it shouldnt be an issue. but hows your battery life?? does it depletes rather fast? U can try calibrating it with battery calibrater which can be downloaded from market. But i read that ds phones calibrates itself after each charge. so no worries there.
Happened to me as well
I avoid rebooting now (unless absolutely necessary) to see that happen again. Ignorance is bliss
I think it may be the battery starting to wear off ??
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
I have the same issue,
I wipe battery stats in recovery and now it's no problem
Thank you for your answers.
Maybe my batery begins to die but i will try to wipe the battery stats and i will see.:good:

Battery Stops Charging at 69%

Hi to all! I really need your help, the past week I notted that my phone just stoped charging the battery at 69%, I thought that the problem was the battery, so I buyed a new one yesterday and the problem is still there, I already wiped my phone to the factory settings, I have the official 4.0 and its very anoying
Someone can help me?
heh... 69....
Have you tried a different charger? maybe plugging into a computer and seeing if that charges it further?
I would imagine that a new battery and full on reset would help. How long have you had the phone?
Are you trying the factory cable/adapter?
Also, what teeg07 said, try another charger and try USB to computer.
If you don't get a charge on the computer and our in the front USB ports, try rear USB as SOME front SUB don't charge.
Try a complete Odin wipe/install, should fix the problem
Had another thought, not sure if it will help but it cant hurt.
Try wiping battery stats via recovery.
What are using to determine battery status? Menu... Settings... Battery. Or are you using a PlayStore app. I ask because market app "Battery Solo Widget" uses 69% as their default icon image... if using that, just reset your widget... If not, idk.
Let he phone charge to max, if it stops at 69, get battery calibration from the play store. It will show battery percentage and millivolts. It may say 69 but if the millivolts are at 4100mv or right around there, its full and you just Need to wipe battery stats.

Battery problem :(

This is my first time encountering this problem.
I was charging my Note yesterday when it reached 15% of the battery. However, even though it was connected to the charger and the charging icon appears, the battery life of my Note is decreasing until it drains the battery. I charged it overnight but unfortunately, It only charged up to 3%. I already sacrificed my files just to reset/reboot the Note but the battery won't still charge properly.
I've tried almost everything. Wiped the cache partition, rebooting the tablet, and uninstalling everything. But the battery stays at 0%. Is it the motherboard? Hope not.
I highly doubt that it's the connector/charger because the lightning icon appears when I connect it. I'm a newbie. I really want to identify the problem and solve it.
Define problem first to eliminate .
Replace battery or use another charger to rule out battery/charger problems .
Clean usb charging port .
100% charged battery that drops quickly >. factory reset first test again .
