DS battery can't charge to 100% - HTC Desire S

Hi all,
Several days ago my DS can't charge to 100%, it usually stops at 87% and hangs there with the orange LED. Once I turn the phone off, the green LED turns on and phone display 100%. So do you guys know what's going on, does it affect to my battery's capacity? And how to deal with it please? Thank you so much!

Calibrate your battery, this is an app for it.

Hi Tectas, thank you for your post.
I've tried it, also shut down, charge to green LED, boot, charge again...
but the problem still exist...

Can you borrow another identical battery and determine if its phone or battery, if it's the battery then request that HTC send you another as a replacement - should be covered under warranty.

:(WHEN BATTREY FULLY CHARGED AND THE LED TURNS TO GREEN MY JASJAR FREEZED,plz help!

I used to get the JASJAR battery issue by blacking out on X% - X%
but not anymore when i bought a new battery and replaced it with my old one, but i found there is an issue with the new one when i fully charge it till it shows green light suddenly the JASJAR freez and wont work till i soft rest
this forbidding me from fully charging it and really a pain in the ass when i leave it to charge overnight while im sleeping but when i woke up i find that it freezed as it shows green even if i pull the charger wire from it till i soft rest again.
in this case i prevent to keep it on the charger for long time to fully charge because i fear to lose any phone call or anything during freezing.
anybody knows the solution for this issue?

Perhaps if you try to install another ROM could solve the problem
Hope it helps and good luck,
I'm having the same problem. Have tried 2 ROM. I'm using 3200 mah battery. I'm not really sure about this, but when I'm using the 1600 mah battery, it seems ok. I'll try again tonight charging with 1600 mah battery

I had this problem two times with two new batteries, I sent them back to the supplier, it's not a matter of ROM (tried on my Universal and on another Uni of a friend, same behaviour) it's a battery problem.
Marco.
yes it is battery problem, UNI won't wake up when full charging.
so make it not sleep when charging
try to change setting -> battery power
do not check on external power.
hope it work

This Is Smart
defiantly will try it out tonight
I had similar problem, but it was ROM-related. Try re-flashing Tomal 8.2 and see if it solves it. Nothing to lose. If doesn't work - you know it has to be the battery.
I generally re-flash when problems appear, especially when you had the same ROM for some time. Solves most of things.
Best of luck

Battery Calibration without root?

I know you need to be rooted to calibrate a battery, but I am wondering of there is another way. Or possibly the Sensation software is jacked.
I have ahd my phone on its charger for hours. It shows full, but a battery monitor app states its only 97%. After reading, this seems to be a common issue.
I have already charged full, and pulled battery, reset phone and still the same.
I am no battery expert. Any suggestions?

Using the SEARCH function can only help you, battery expert or not. There have been many threads covering this.
1. Charge your phone til it hits 100% then turn it off while plugged in.
2. Remove charger until LED is inactive
3. Replace charger & the light should be orange/amber, charge til green again.
Repeat 2 & 3 until there is no amber light showing
Rinse, repeat a few times. If it goes from green to green right away just leave it for a half hour or so OFF and charging. Hope that helps, if not search just like I did

PHONE DOES CHARGE WITH CWM (just not showing LED)?

MODS PLEASE DELETE THIS IF YOU WANT ONCE VERIFIED
Basically i had 90 percent BAttery
I switched off the phone, Took out the battery to be sure it is completely turned off.
Plugged in my charger (im charging via PC at the moment, will test with wall charger later)
The LED Came on and then went out after 2 seconds
After ten minutes i took out the battery again and reinserted and powered on
My battery was 100 PERCENT
use battery indicator from market to check your current level or you can check it using *#*#4636#*#* and clicking battery information
Can you please check this. and post here ASAP.
Make sure your battery isnt fully charged (between 20 and 80 percent ideal), Turn off completely (pull the battery out and reinsert if you want to be sure)
Plug in your charger now
After 15 minutes
Take out battery and reinsert.
POWER ON
What is you battery now?
please post your before and after percentage here. THANKS

After CMW and S-Off it is not charging, same behavior. And my battery if fully discharged, which means I bricked my device since I just can't turn it on nor charge it...

You can either let a friend charge your battery for you in his phone
Or
You can get a usb cable, any kind really, chop off the end that goes into the phone. There will be 4 wires exposed, you only need the red and black ones, pay no attention to the green or white wires or whatever color they are. Connect the exposed wire to the battery (to part that touches the prongs on the phone) and it will charge. All you have to do is find out on the web which of the 4 slots on the battery do what, and connect the positive (red) cable to the positive slot on the battery, and the black cable to the neg part of the battery.
In the worst case,you could charge your battery outside the phone with a power supply...
Not an easy way,especially if you're going on vacation...But it's a good thing to be aware from this!
Edit: Durps,you killed me!
my phone charge while off i see alot of people are suffering from this but mine still charge while off my led is on
The issue seems to be fixed with the official cwm recovery flashed from within rom manager.
...at least for me.

walk into a phone shop, ask them if u can charge your battery for 10 mins in one of their phones.
Say something about software crash blah blah, they usually dont care at all, and will let you.
PS to confirm is version v4.0.1.5 the good one? ie will let you use/charge your phone in the "normal" way?
update your versions of rom manager ...the dev updated the recovery and now it does charge
Just install the new CWM version 4.0.1.5 from ROM Manager to fix this (HUGE) bug

Sensation LED blinking but phone not turning on

My phone turned on with my friends battery but when I insert my battery the phone only blinks a red led and won't turn on. It happened shortly after installing bricked kernel and 4ext recovery

Hi,
That would suggest that your battery is flat.
Why don't you plug the charger in for half an hour ,then try booting again.
Yeah like above said your battery is dead, as soon as the light stays solid it means you can start your phone. Depending on how badly its drained itll take like 15 mins while being plugged into AC. This usually happens to me while playing a game and i dont notice the low battery lol
exactly the same thing happened to me just now...
Strange thing thou was that the phone was connected to the charger all night long and I just removed it from the charger
Charging right now... lets wait a bit
-update
Charger seems to have died in action.....
what was your outcome adiallo77 ?
-update 2
Charger started to work fine again ...
I'm confused now
I had the same problems when I first install cwrecovery, after a night in the charger it was working fine again
I just started having this problem with my phone. The battery is not charging at all, my phone won't turn on, but the red light is blinking. I have been reading and trying all day everything I could find in xda, but still no results. I can't remember which ROM I installed last, but it has stock kernel, ICS probably virtuous.
This usually happens when your battery has drained completely.
Here's what you need to do. Put your phone on an hour long charge before trying anything.
Don't put the phone for charge on the PC or in the car, but use the standard wall charger that was provided with the phone. Whatever happens, don't pull the phone off charging.
After an hour of charging is completed, switch on your phone as you normally would, without unplugging the charger. Your phone should be fine.
Let it charge to 100%, calibrate your battery and perform a restart to maintain the right graduation for battery levels.

Have you tried a different battery?
Have you checked if the battery fits tightly?
EDIT: Too many of these recently. We need to find the source!

i don't have an extra battery but the one i have does fit. I'm gonna see if i can find me another battery borrowed.
Does the orange light continue to blink after a few minutes? I had this problem a while ago but the light would blink for about a minute and then stop, then the battery wouldn't charge and my phone wouldn't turn on.
What I ended up doing was putting my battery into my Desire HD and charging it for 15 min (aligning the pins and just holding the battery down since its too big to fit in the HD and letting it charge) and then I put it back into my sensation and it would pick up charge.
I would suggest getting an external charger and letting the charger bring your battery up to 5-10 percent then putting it back into the sensation and try to charge it/see if your phone will turn on.
The same thing has just happend to my gf's sensation XE, she left it on all night charging, now it wont turn on, tried everything. Its all stock since day one. might have to send it back, her last HTC phone broke too (wildfire), Any tricks to try and get it to turn on?
The lights come on at the bottom keys, but no display ?

[Q] Xperia L wont switch on

I tried unlocking the bootloader. It worked fine. However when I tried to charge the battery after some time, the phone won't turn on. It simple shows a blink Red light in the indicator panel below.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Best,
Irfan
Happens to a lot of people
Just charge your battery for about an hour, and flash stock ftf.
Hit thanks if it helps

Red light indicates the battery is lower than 15%. Just recharge it for a while then try. Red is for <16%, Green+Yellow is 16-89, >89 is totally green.

do the following :
try charging with another charger / cable
see if your charging jack is loose and you need to see if your phone is charging
take battery out for 5 minutes.
Reinsert and try to turn it on. Don't put it on charging while you are trying to turn on. My phones only turns on if it is not being charged.
Use little saliva on terminals (use tongue) of battery and then insert it back and try to switch it on. Your tongue would give an idea if battery is faulty or not.
while trying to turn on your phone, make sure you are not charging your phone . Take out all cables /charger etc.
use a different battery
Try to boot into fastboot mode / flash mode and try flashing ftf.
see if that helps.
Also, if nothing works do give reply back with an updated and detailed description about what you did and why isn't it turning on.
