Hey all,
I got my desire s yesterday(yay) and found out a little problem.
When i put my phone on AC power to charge, the phone shows as "Charging(USB)" and the charging is too slow! Someone know what to do about this?
(The cable and adapter are the original ones)
the other thing is that i got in the boot loader this
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
BOOT-0.98.0000
Radio-38.03.02.14_M
eMMC-boot
Mar 10 2011,14:58:38
yeah yeah, S-ON the question is if i should upgrade radio or not, and if its even possible with S-ON hehe
Thanks
After some testing i found out that with wifi and screen turned off it charges 0.5% in 1 minute. so its like 30% in 1 hour..
Edit: Anyone can tell me a program that gives me more details about the programs that are using battery and how much each?
and maybe a log?
settings>about phone>battery>battery use
looks like something is wrong with your charger.
voltage is too low, because your phone shows charging (USB), instead of charginh (AC).
Well, tried with another adapter and it said dc, but canceled the touch... and make it weird.. i guess its a bad adapter.. i will get a good one from ebay i guess

I strongly suggest do a calibration charge first.. we never know, it might be the battery whose playing up as you just got from a stock..
Calibration charging:
1. Discharged the battery till the phone turns itself off, you might want to turn off "Fast Boot" on "Settings" -> "Power" just to be safe that the phone will be off.
2. Keep turning the phone "on" by pressing the power and wait till you see the htc splash screen, if it turns on, just wait for it to turn itself off (discharge itself). This will make sure that the battery will be drained to a "safe" percentage.
3. If phone is not turning on anymore, then charge the phone using your stock power adapter, and just keep the phone off and wait for it to fully charge itself. I always keep my phone charging for 1hour and a half, you can try maybe until 2hours. that should still be acceptable for not over charging the phone. Then unplug.
4. Wait for about a minute before turning your phone on just to be safe, letting the battery rest for awhile.
Then post your result..
Edit:
Notice that when charging, the LED light is Orange. If fully charged, it should be Green.
Well, i dont think thats the problem... but going to try it! thanks

You would be surprised how well the above tip can work. When resetting my battery stats on my hero, the battery life decreased dramatically. Over time though, it would fix itself.

Yeah, but my problem is not that the battery dont last.. its that charges slow... i will try one of the current widgets and check the current that i get while charging
I got my Desire S yesterday... and I have a critical charging problem....
-Last night, it was plugged with the HTC adapter all the night...and in the morning battery was only to 40%
-then I went to work and plugged it ther... it charged until 100%: ouf
-I came back at home: plugged it again....and the battery continues decreasing even if it is plugged.
Any ideas on what could going wrong?
thanks for your help

I strongly suggest doing a Calibration charge on your battery. Regarding battery drain, it depends on the settings that your phone is on. Check below:
[Guide] Everything you wanted to know about Li-Ion batteries but were afraid to ask!
[GUIDE] Update 01/06/11: HTC Desire S Guide For Newcomers to Android V1.02 <- helps a lot regarding battery saving tips
Okay, i checked with a program and while charging i get 430mA of charge, not sure if fine hehe
When i am not doing nothing with phone i get -252mA and with screen off i get -300mA?!?!
something wrong here xD Lets try again
Screen off: -24mA
without use i get around: -250mA
Also charging from my notebook i get: 394mA
Maybe my problem is that the phone uses too much mA by itself?
Here is a normal log with the apps:

As well as the battery calibration I'd also be tempted to perform a full reset and start from fresh and then retest battery usage.
The screen will always be the biggest user of battery

Yeah, i guess i have a problem with my connector for charging and the 200mA+ is because the screen hehe, i decreased the brightness and now i get around 222mA
The is a widget that let you change brightness when you need? like preselected percents of brightness?

That's certainly crazy!!
Try the Battery calibration technique and then repeat the same overnight monitoring experiment...and then repost the results.

If you leave it charging and look in the log file you'll see when you achieve 100% charge.
That's why I'd be tempted to perform a full reset if the calibration alone doesn't resolve this problem.
If you look at
Settings > about phone > battery use
what was the main user of battery during the time it lost all that chunk?

Hi guys!
I have quite a serious question for you )) Please remember, I can not sleep until you give me the right answer.
So, if u take ur Desire S (or I believe any other HTC android phone) and go to Settings -> About Phone -> Battery -> Battery use, then u will be able to see a graph just at the top of the screen (and a title "(xx)h (yy)m (zz)s on battery" over the graph). I guess you all going to cry when you see this menu, because it's only few per cent battery remaining although u unplug the charger just twelve hours before. OK, sorry for flood. My question: there is a tiny blue stripe under the graph. Sometimes it interrupts. What does this stripe indicate?
PS. You know, many people complain to battery drain. And battery seems to drain faster just at the moments indicated by this stripe. Does anybody notice smth like this?

Without checking as phone isn't to hand at the moment, I believe that this is when the Screen is ON, considering that the Screen/Display is always the main user of phone battery, it's no surprise that the graph dips when this bar occurs.
Hope that you can sleep soundly now.
Mmm... ben_pyett, are u completely sure it's Screen_ON indicator? Unfortunately I don't know how to make a screenshot as I'm using stock ROM now, but believe me I saw blue stripe on my Desire S and it lasts for at least 5 hours. Then it interrupts and begins and interrupts again and so on. And I'm completely sure that the screen was not ON all this 5 hours.
PS. Stil not sleeping.
If you tap on the map it enlarges it to full screen with a breakdown of what the blue bar means
Wow!! det66, man, you're magician! How did u find it out?
Thanks anyway. In my case "awake" mode seems to drain the battery.
PS. Go to bad with a great pleasure ))

Hi, I have just come over from the HD2 threads as I'm using a Sensation XE now . My battery current when running android on standby was around 7 - 20 ma. On my XE it is between 180 and 220ma. I killed all running tasks etc but still no change. i'm using Battery Monitor Widget to check the currents. The only thing i have on is mobile internet. I also have on background sync but that was on with my HD2 as well. Is there anything I should look out for that my being draining the battery? Also I'm on stock rom
What did you already tried to solve the problem? Did you already do a soft reset/wipe all data (except that on the SD card)? How long is your battery life?
Yesterday i called HTC because my battery life is reduced drastically compared to a few weeks ago. They told me to turn off everything like bluetooth, wifi etc (after a soft reset) and put the phone in plane mode while screen brightness was 100% and screen time out never so the screen stays on during the test. Next I needed to write down how fast the battery was drained. My battery was at 55% after 2 hours (without doing anything with the phone). According to HTC this was to fast and therefore they send me a new battery.

In 1 hour of standby the battery has drained 5%. the battery current usage is way to high for standby. I have had this phone on 3 days so I dont think i need to do a full wipe. I dont use wifi or bluetooth and they are always switched off. Seems strange to have a high battery usage while in standby compared to my hd2. This battery is meant to be a high capicity
use battery monitor widget (use a beta version from the forum, not the market). set it to "mA corrections" and choose automatic from the list of supported phones. i get anywhere from 5-7 mA drain (standby, of course).

Hi, I'm on stock Rom too. Once I kill all tasks by the default task manager, it ranges between 25 - 60. It does take a bit of time to get there. I Have seen it as low as 19. You need to follow steps and get the beta widget and set it to corrections as mentioned earlier in the posts.

Just a quick update. I let my battery completely die (never done this before) and charged my phone fully. I then deleted the battery stats.txt and switched phone off. the charged some more. Now when my phone uses -5 on standby which it never did before.
Well took my phone off charge at 11.05 today and its been on standby. It's now 15.52 and battery is still on F. Battery drain is now at -3 so i'm well happy.
Thanks indie. Can you let us know what will be happening in the future with your battery?
Okay my phone said I had 34 percent battery I rebooted my phone now its reading 67 percent wth how do I fix this..

Use battery calibrator fron Play. Run it 100% and press "calibrate" in the app. Can also wipe battery stats as well.

Any of them will do. They all delete the same file to calibrate.
Once you calbrate, let the battery dtain all the way to power off for the first cycle.
Also, its not unusual for the battery percentage to jump alot on reboot. It will drop down ro the correct amount pretty quickly.

You do not need to drain your battery completely down (until the phone powers off) to get an accurate calibration. Anything below about 15% will be good enough.
Although it is rare, letting a li-ion battery drain completely to zero can sometimes cause it to fail. There are sensors in these batteries that makes sure that they don't ever drain completely (even when we see zero, there is still some power left - similar to when your car gas light comes on but you still have a few gallons of 'reserve fuel) Sometimes these sensors can fail. If that happens, you have a bad battery.
Also, after calibrating give it a few full cycles to gain top accuracy. The jump you see after a reboot is normal, though it shouldn't be as severe as you mentioned.
Hi my friend,
Some say "battery calibration" app works some says it doesn't, don't really know but "wipe battery datas" in recovery does the same.
this happens when you flash different roms and some roms does not include battery calibration scrips. My rom does and i never have this issue, works very well.
this issue resolves by itself when wiping data and giving it 2 or 3 complete cycles.
Be patient then , all will comme back to normal.
I also saw a new app called "battery repair", i just bought it on market, but can not tell the results now because too early. i took it because it repair yes but most of all give you more time of use ...
cheers
Ok on start I am sorry guys for my language. I am in UK only one year so I need to learn a lot
10 min a go I back from SSC because I have problems with battery/ charging and foulty speaker
Italian Job 1.0.0 - big battery drain and battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
XXMC8 - no battery drain but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
Stock UK GB XXLK7 -no battery drain but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
So I bought new original samsung battery 1500mAh - no changes
So I bought batttery 3500mAh with special cover - no vissible battery drain, this battery can handle my phone by ~ 20 hours of playing AVI movie, 720p in loop in MX Player so very good score but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
All battery was tested in my Ace 2 and in my girlfriend Ace 2 (she have fully working phone with no problems) and she have good scores on all batteries but best is on 3500mAh with special cover ( above x2 than standard)
So i went to SSC and they: (stock GB, 0 flash counters)
- take my phone without documents on free guarantees (only box)
- I must come back for that phone in this friday
This above is for + but:
- they **** that work because I have in my ducuments copy a lot of bugs! (street , town)
- they checked my speaker in noisy room (it did not take nearly as booming)
- for those guys after restart when phone loses 30% battery power is normal!
So I go after tomorrow for my phone and we will see ( They will make updates to JB! and they change speaker/ charging module)
Photo for proof attached
If they dont repair my phone I do not buy samsung phone NEVER AGAIN!
EDIT: 3 hours waiting for a response about taking my phone!
EDIT 2: that 3500mAh battery must be loaded 8 hours to get 100% form 0%. (standard charger )
I really want to know what the whole battery dropping after restart thing is about, forever happening to me and sometimes the battery completely dies. It was the same on my original Ace S5830 I got a few years ago.
If you find out, please tell! haha.
After receiving the reply I upload it here
Have nfc version and ni problems with battery with much using and sometimes little bit playing i rech two days
I dont have problem with battery (any) but with phone hardware
I must agree with you guys regarding battery drain. It's suspicios and I am also aware of a fast battery drain from 100% to 65% in just a couple of hours, or very fast after a restart.
Maybe this is the way android should work. I was thinking there was a problem with my phone, but seeing similar behaviour with yours, it must be something related to the android system.
I'm on JB me1 and i haven't this battery dran problem. After the night i just lose 3-7% battery
When I have 100% and I off my phone and turn on battery go down to 50-60% immediately in one secund! It must by hardware foult...this is not normaly working android, for me

I thought that is not really a battery draining. But it just about battery calibrating. Your phone need to calibrate the battery. Thats the problem.

Really??
However, I've never done any battery calibrating..but I read in some thread, need to calibrate the battery, so there will be no battery misdisplay on the battery icon...logically, I thought, our devices will some time miscommunicate with the battery because there are no battery parameter to make the system understand how much the battery stored....
But I don't know if it just a myth...

its normal to see 99% when unplugging from charger, 3%-10%(Max) drop on rebooting. Battery is usually inaccurate after charging, what I do is plug it in then reboot. then it displays the right value after unplugging, usually my battery status is really inaccurate but it returns to normal afterwards (it'll show charging icon even when unplugged and charge to 100 then stops and returns to real level). I don't believe in this calibrations and have found enough proof its useless, I think most xda users agree too. Try searching some threads.

Actually you don't even have to search xda, there you go fellows: https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT If this isn't enough then I don't know what is.
My phone back to me from SSC with xxlk7, so no JB...(after 24hours in service)
If someone want to know how good is 3500mAh battery please go to my battery thread in general section.
Hello community,
So, I've got myself a Nexus 5.
Problem (?):
When I'm charging my N5 and the battery indicator reaches 96%, the charging led goes green, indicating that it's fully charged. It doesn't STOP to charge at 96% like to prevent overcharging, it just shows green led at 96% and continues to charge to 100%. It thought the problem may be the stock kernel that comes with Cataclysm ROM, so I've flashed ElementalX kernel (Without wiping anything, do I have to wipe?) and the problem's still there.
Is that behavior normal?
Here are details about my phone:
Cataclysm ROM, 5.1.1 (Jun 20, 2015, stable build)
ElementalX Kernel, latest version for 5.1.1 (4.04)
I got my N5 one or two months ago, I rooted immediately but I believe it had this issue right out of the box. And I'm using the stock wall charger & usb cable which I received with my N5.
Thanks to anyone trying to help me.
Regards
I remember a Marques Brownlee Youtube video where he was talking about Li-On battery overcharging - they don't apparently, since there is circuitry in the battery to regulate the charging. From memory, he described it as a sort of "bounce" effect, where the charging gets close to 100%, cuts out, then says "Maybe a bit more" and starts again - and it may do that a number of times. So I reckon that this behaviour is what you're seeing, and you don't have any problem.

Thank your for your reply
Now I know that everything's behaving normal. I almost thought that I have to replace the battery - and it's non removeable, so that would be a hard nut for me to crack, even with the right tools.
Last question, if I would replace my current N5 battery with another (original) battery, would the 'problem' vanish? Now I know, everything's OK.. but I'm a sorta perfectionist when it comes to devices. In other words, is that behavior related to the battery?
Here's the Marques Brownlee video I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrcbcm11830
So the answer to your question is: no, a new battery will (most likely) make no difference at all - a lot of trouble, risk and expense for nothing. I leave my phone on a charging pad every night, on a timer switching off around 03:00, and it's usually around 95-97% in the morning. Like you, I'd much prefer 100%, but I've learned to live with it, especially as my Nexus 6 very rarely drops below 50% during the day - I'm a light user.
And a word of warning to anyone reading this. We tend to go looking for solutions to problems we've already suffered, when it can be too late. I managed a few months ago to drain my Nexus 5 battery down to zero, and when I recharged it the radio was stone dead - no SIM recognised, no data service (but wifi ok), no phone calls, no texts. There are many people reporting the same thing, so beware:
DON'T LET YOUR NEXUS 5 BATTERY DRAIN TO ZERO!!!

There is no need for you to replace your battery - the percentage issue might be solved with a simple battery calibration.
But just to answer your question, the hardest part when replacing the battery is getting the old one out since it's glued in pretty hard.

Can you please forward me to some sort of instructions of how to calibrate properly? Can't find anything but the batterystats.bin hoax.
Anyone?

disccharge from 100% until your phone shuts down, then charge it to 100% while it is off
As far as I know, this issue is software side, not hardware. Have you ever encountered this problem before ? On my ROM (which is SAOSP), the LED started turning green at 95%. This could also mean that the green LED is set to appear at 95% - 96% charge.

Yes, I've thought about that too. The LED could be the problem. Is there some sort of workaround for this?
And no, I'm encountering this for the first time. I've rooted and flashed Cataclysm ROM right after I unpacked my N5, so I don't know if the problem was on stock too.
Unbenannt, I would say that you need to stop looking at this as a problem - it doesn't seem to be one. You'll spend a lot of time and energy on this (you already have...) and the concensus seems to be that it's not worth the trouble. If you run down your battery you risk bricking the radio (and I know that GtrCraft is saying only until the phone shuts down, not drained to zero) but really, why take the risk of damaging a beautiful device for such a minor reason?

did you said charging LED ? wooh I've been using this device for 2-3 months and never seen LED blink when full charged !!
you are using any app or something for that ? bcz i'm on stock and i can't see any option to turn it on and No charging light for me at all !
does all people see it on stock ?!

I'm running a custom ROM (Cataclysm), so that's probably why.

Oh..i thought you were fully stock before flashing custom kernel.
