Hi guys,
I got my A700 today and after I totally used up the battery I plugged in the charger.
When turning the device on Android (and the LED) were both indicating that it's charging. I used it all the time and noticed the device isn't really charging. It's 1% to 5% and then 1% again. It's weird. I know I am using it, but is that costing so much power it's not charging at all?
I ajusted the brightness, but that doesn't really change. I have not been trying to turn it into standby modus and then charge it. But the main question is: Does anybody else experience this?
Edit:
Okay, so apparantly that is completely normal. I turned my tablet into stand by for a few minutes and it's now 11%.
Wow, that is one power hungry monster then.

More often than not now, my Xoom will not fully charge. It will usually get to 61% and stop there. If the unit is off, the charging LED will start blinking. If the unit is on, the Battery Left widget will start flashing between charging and not charging.
I have gone into recovery and wiped the battery stats and that seems to help for a few days and then it starts doing it again. This unit was bought on day one of the release and sees pretty heavy use. I replaced the charger and that had no effect so I am suspecting it is time for a new battery. Any thoughts?
Hi everyone
My problem is.. my DS started to charge slowly.
Now it doesn't really charge slowly, If I check the voltage, I will get like 4220mv but as soon as it reaches that, the charging graph just goes flat.
If say I have charged it to 70% and it started going slow. i switch it off, place on the charger, and the lamp goes green. I turn it on, and it is showing 100%.
I have tried calibrations, diffirent kernels, wiping, factory resets e.t.c.
Another thing is that if I will run a v6 battery calibrator,it will show that actually I should have a 100% charge although a phone is showing only 70%.
So the summary: Phone charges normally when off (when recovery monitors charging), showing the correct voltage when on... But showing the wrong percentage if on charge.
Also sometimes if the battery is like 14% left. And I turn the phone off and then on again, it will show 22% bearing the same voltage as when it was 14%.
Question: Is there any way to tweak the battery indicator so it would show % values same as the v6 calibrator does it or is it a hardware fault, if yes, which part of it ?
This happens to me on my older (original) battery, but not my new one. I bought the second battery when this problem started happening. So, I think it's just a symptom of an old battery.
By the way, if you leave it on charge long enough, it will eventually jump up to 100%.
Other than this weird behaviour, it has no real impact on anything.

Thought so, mines been acting similarly lately, but strangely enough it seems to be getting better
I think I found out..
I actually purchased a new battery recently, because my old one was jumping like crazy and started discharging in a few hours..
This new battery I bought from a mobile repair shop.
It is a cheap chinese battery with no name, anyhow I just took it out to take a look at it...
And guess what, it sais 1200mah..
Can the phone be confused because of that ?
Hey folks,
I'm sitting here with a very stylish paperweight. Can't charge it. No LED, not even the blinking red one. Just nothing.
Here is what happened:
My phone started to get pretty hot, so I decided to turn it off, just for safety. It had around 90% battery left at this time. When I turned it back on an hour later, the battery percentage was at about 18-19%. I used the phone as usual. No strange behavior, no sign of malfunction. After using it for quite a bit, the phone shut down as expected. The battery percentage fell in an usual matter. It went off normally.
Now, when I try to charge it, it doesn't seem to show any vital signs.
Here is what I tried:
- charging it for 2 hours with HTC Wallcharger, also tried out 2 other chargers
- Power + VOL UP
- Power + VOL DOWN
- both with a bright light pointed at the sensor
Still nothing. Connecting it to PC won't do anything good atm.
Is the battery dead, or is it just terribly drained? Did I even manage to fry the MB? Is there anything I could do?
Turning it in for warranty repair won't be an option, since it's (you guessed it) rooted and therefore unlocked. I flashed CM11 nightly about a week ago, had Codename Lungo before.
This is quite a bummer. I hope, you good people might be able to help me.
Thanks in advance,

Hey guys, I've been experiencing some issues about my Tab 2's battery. It all started some hours ago.
I was chatting with a friend, then it suddenly turned off. I knew something was wrong, because it wasn't even near 4% yet.
Plugged it to the charger and couldn't turn it on before waiting at least 10 minutes. When I turned it on, I took the cable off and quickly opened an app to show battery stats. Something caught my eye.
With 17%, the battery had almost 3000mV, and that was really weird (I've heard it should be around 3370mV at this percentage).
What should I do? Calibrate my battery is a choice?
Hi. I have a problem with my phone where when I charge the phone while it is powered off, most of the time I found out that the phone got very hot and the battery just increased for like 3% for more than an hour.
Put the phone down on the floor and it helps the charge. But when charging while phone is powered on, there's no such problem. Is this normal for this phone?
Btw I'm on xiaomi.eu ROM v7.4.6, and I have the phone for around a year.
Thanks in advance.
Xiaomi uses low bin batteries, after a year+ they start to go bad.
So this is a normal behavior?
