i made this post because people might be wondering about how to charge their phones.
(i say these things from experience so if different for anyone then let me know)
make it a habit not to charger until its at least 15% or less. i always charged my g1 and left it plugged in even at 100 and after weeks the battery life went to hell. i went through 3 batteries that way.
Also try not to use the phone while its charging. i cant really explain what the hell causes that but i know from experience of two other phones that the phone overheats and messes up the battery. so that means avoid over-night charging. i charge mine either before i go to sleep of first thing when i wake up.
also when ur charging ur phone, DO NOT put it under anything, like between a pillow the bed. ur phone will overheat like to the point of too hot to touch. also from experience.
Thanks man,that why my old battery started die'n so fast

I normally do this to calibrate battery:
1. Charge to 100 % with phone on
2. Unplug and turn off
3. Charge to 100% when off (i normally leave it for 10-15 minutes)
4. Then unplug, turn it on, then after fully booted turn it back off
5. put it back on charger till it fully charges again
6. boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
now use your phone as normally and give it 3-4 full charge cycles till the battery is properly calibrated.
Battery calibration is a app on the market. Check it out! It saves you from having to go into recovery and wiping battery stats

i follow all of this and i usually get around 20 hours of battery life. and ive only calibrated my battery once.
hello
just to say that with ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5 the phone dont charge the battery when is power off.
thanks
EDIT:
tried to charge with phone off, and work. (with some energy on battery)
but i did had the problem, because i drain the battery to ZERO, and with ZERO battery couldn't charge
Mine does. I did it last night. I drained my new battery dry. And charged it last night with power off because I couldnt even turn it on the battery was so dead. Woke up this morning to a fully charged battery.
My phone does it too.
Same here, mines fine
Keep fastboot checked!!!
+4 works fine here.
OP, please change the title of your thread to "doesn't work for ME (or some people)" as it is misleading.

Defeats the point of wanting to turn the phone off. I prefer to turn it off when I tell it to! Having said that, I never turn my phone off so isn't an issue
+5, works for me too.
didnt work for me...
I drained my battery completely, when I plug it in, the led flashing 11 times last 3 flashes are slow then goes dark.
put it 8h on wall charger, and didnt work...

This just happened to me. Kept blinking heaps. So unplugged phone, boot it and instantly plugged in charger and worked after.

I just had my phone at 73% and powered it off and even booted into HBOOT to make sure it was off then pulled the battery. Plugged it in and the orange light came on and stayed on for a bit. I then pulled it after about 10 minutes and powered up the phone, and I was up to 84%
Why do so many people insist on charging the phone while its off? I've never understood this.I have had many devices and have NEVER powered them off to charge, never had to replace any batteries either?

I think its because it charges faster when its off. (idk it could be placebo ) I only charge mine when it is off when it dies. So is it safe to say that the issue is fixed ?

Yeah. I think it does charges but then theres no light. and you can't turn it on while it's plugged in ):
I've never let my battery die tbh, Always carry a 10cm micro usb lead with me as i always have access to a usb port
I did last night on purpose because I am testing an after market battery.
I let my battery died completely last night. When i charge it, it just blink like 5 times, and stopped. So i took off the battery and use a different charger to charge it. The orange light turned on for like 5 sec and disappeared. I thought it just need a little charge. I left the charge overnight. I tried to turn on the phone when i woke up, but it didnt work. I took the cable off, then take out battery and pput it back in. And the phone turns on and fully charged. So I guess the phone does charge, but the indicator light is not just working.

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 ?
I flashed coindroid a little while ago. Was working fine then the battery died. Now when I plug the charger in the orange LED is blinking slowly and the phone does not turn on. I've left it for a bit and pulled and reinserted the battery but it still won't turn on. any help?
Edit: Just turned on haha. why was it flashing at me
What version of cwm do you have installed? Do you have another battery or external charger to charge your battery?

Just give it a while more, replug the cable and try to turn it on when the LED stops blinking.
Hi, today my SV shows me a strange behavior. The battery was going to discharge so I plug the charger and continue using it (whatching some video).
I am not used to play with the phone while charging, I usually charge it during the night. But this time I realized that the led was behave differently blinking alternating green and orange colours instead of fixed orange.
Does anyone know this behavior?
After some minute I stop using the the phone the led start as usually to stay fixed orange.

Hi.
Sometimes when I use it for gps and spotify with bluetooth while charging, I get a message saying that it's discharging faster than charging and that I need to stop a few things.
I never looked at the leds when ut said that though, but it could be a lead.
I had troubles (discontinued charging) as well when using some usb adapters or pluging it in a hotel or train, but I don't think that's what you're talking about.
your battery was overheating. i read somewhere that the threshold is around 120°f. download a battery app next time it happens. my old htc one sv did it a few times while i had it. only ever did it while charging and using my wifi tether on a hot day.
So the behavior indicate the overeating status. But is there any risk of damage phone? I think it stop charge to prevent further heating... Is it true?

Exactly it stops charging to prevent the battery to overheat and blow. I don't recomend playing while charging. Better to leave the phone and let it charge.
