Hey guys, I have a problem with my Sensation. Whenever I fully charge it and then remove it from the charger, use it for like an hour or two, the phone still thinks the battery is 100% charged. When looking inside the battery usage, it shows the graph with 0s underneath it, while in the previous screen where you see the apps battery usage it says 2h 5m 13s or something like that.
This wouldn't really be a problem, but when I started up Maps Navigation and plugged the charger in the car, it wouldn't charge because it still assumed the battery was 100% charged!
Any of you also having this problem? Thanks in advance!

Does it stay 100% forever? Then you may have the inexhaustible battery... (not sure if this is grammaticaly correct )
I wouldn't consider this a problem. You can download a battery monitoring app from the market and see what's going on with your phone and if the 100% that it's rerporting is correct. Also, check that the battery contacts are clean.
Not sure my phone does that but it can be on half charge then when I reset phone it's gone up a notch. This morning it didn't look like it had charged although it had been plugged in. When I switched it was on orange then it did the charging animation for a few seconds without charger plugged in then stopped on full. Odd.
Mine stays on 100% for a couple of hours too, has done since I got it.
I think perhaps HTC are "cheating" (or using "creative coding", whichever expression you prefer) in the way they report the battery percentage. Make the battery appear better than it is. Just a theory, of course.

That happens to me a lot too. Woke up this morning, phone had been charging for nearly 5 hours, but was only on 82%. After a couple of minutes of the screen being on, it had leapt to 100% and stopped charging.
Also, once the battery is below about 20%, it will sometimes drop 2-3% at a time. Odd.
Looks like they totally screwed the battery meter hardware or something in the software. Remembers me of my iPod touch
Experienced the say.. hopefully either it will auto be fine due to charge cycle or via updates

Thanks for your answer, so it's probably a general problem that may be fixed by either HTC or the Cooks that make ROM's for our beautiful new phones
Can you tell me how long it takes for your phone to fully charge?My phone needs 3-4 hours to fully charge..is this normal?!
Hmm mine doesn`t lag but it takes times to charge. Usually with my hd2 take around less than 2 hours to fully charge now with sensation around 3 hours

I received my phone yesterday and charged it for 4-5 hours throughout the day. Last night it was close to 100% while I was playing with it (off the charger). I then charged it over night for 9 hours. This morning the battery says it's at 50% but has 15 hours left.
Weird :\
Charge the battery with the power turned off overnight, in the morning unplug the charger, turn the phone on, and shutdown again, and plug the charger back for 30
mins phone still turned off. After that start using the phone normally, this way you calibrate the phones battery meter properly.

Thanks mate! I'll do that tonight
Is anyone else having problems with there battery charging super slow? It's been on the charger for almost 1 hour and only increased by 7%. I am using the stock charger.
Last night it was at 8% when I put it on the charger and after 3 hours it was only at 62%.
Is this normal?
yep it took me about 6 hours to charge completely with usb from pc. is it because i charge from pc? gonna charge using stock charger after battery depletes and report back with the results.

HTC charger charges with 1 amp of current. Standard USB charging (ie through a pc) is 0.5 amp. It will take at least twice as long charging via pc USB.

Mine just now seemed to be taking forever to charge (4+ hrs, only up to 80%) so I took a chance and rebooted it. Came back on saying 100%. WTF? I've previously noticed some odd behavior in that unplugged it would sit at 100% for a very long time, so now I'm even more suspicious.

Same with me, all night chage only 66% ( hot) but reboot - 100%
Mine took almost 5 hours charging from 4% to 100% yesterday, using the proper 1A mains charger. My HTC Desire could fully charge from USB in less time than this!
I have problem with charging 2. from 14% @ 8AM till now 79% @ 1PM..
HD2 charged battery way, way faster...
edit:
after restart 93%
I figured out what's causing the problem. You have to use the cable it came with. Every time I user a different cable my battery charges writers but then I switch to the stock cable and everything is fine.

I am charging using the original HTC cable, plug to Power. it took me 5 hours to charge from 1% to 96%. And still charging...
What could possibly be wrong.? Or is this acceptable?

Sometimes the phone doesn't display the battery % correctly, so when it reaches 100mA during charge, restart your phone. Most probably you will see 95% to 100%, or that's what I normally noticed.
Note: I believe our battery starts charging at 100mA when it's almost full, so let it charge for about 10mins more after it reaches 100mA then restart your phone. Tedious work but no choice as of now
Guys check if are having any CPU intensive apps running (even in the background) if charging takes that long. Mine is getting charged in 2,5 hours via AC

Hi.
I think this is good place for my question.
I have 1.5year old Sensation. I bought it with GB 2.3.3 (of course), the updated OTA to ICS 4.0.3.
Charging time was always 2.5hours. I was always charging from 14% (4%) to 100% with original charger.
Now, the charging time is 4.5 - 5hours for few months already.
First 2hours, it's charged to 75%, and then it is slow as hell. Another 2.5-3hours from 75% to 100%.
I am using original charger, when I am charging, built in "battery meter" says "charging AC", so the cable is detected correctly.
I did factory reset (didn't help). I still have stock ROM, no root.
Can anyone tell me why it is getting slower and slower?
Time to buy an anker

I got similar issues and I bought a new battery(not stock one or Anker) for my sensation. It still takes 6-7 hours to finish a charge. I found that charge becomes very slow when the battery charges to 60-70%.
Does anyone one know the solutions?

So I wrote an email to repair center, since my Sensation is still under warranty period.
They replied me it can be either motherboard fault, or faulty battery.
So I sent it to them and they replaced the battery.
Now, the charging time is 2hours and 15mins, I'm very happy
Why does my Desire S take more than 2 hours to charge from 75% to 100%?
It gets to 75% quick enough...
Use some battery calibration tool from the Market once at 100 %. It should fix this
I have this exact same problem and have tried calibrating, charges to 70-80% really quickly then takes ages to charge every one per cent after that and battery monitor widget says I'm on ~4200mv already. Maybe the calibration isn't working but I've tried the calibration app and the deleting stats in recovery method. Not sure what next.
Sorry for partial thread hijack!!

Did u check
could be a problem with your charger? or power supply
Thanks for the info guys, I am not rooted, can I still wipe battery stats?
Also some Google engineer posted that wiping battery stats doesn't help.
I use my blackberry curve charger with desire S, may be I will try to use official charger....
Will post the time it takes once I have the stats...

It can be your Battery issue? Still under warranty? get it replaced xD
sometimes the charger you are using isnt made to charge the battery. meaning if you are charging thru a different charger it might take longer. or it can be that your battery is weak if the 75% gets chrrged quick

No issues like that. I suspect your system is reading the wrong stats.

suku_patel_22 any luck in resolving ur issue? or is it a faulty charger/battery? now is about 2.30am, started charging my phone since around 10/10.30pm. Had 2 htc charger, both giving me the same charge rate(coincidence?). Gonna try charging using usb via computer tomorrow to determine is it the charger that is at fault(if it charged faster on the computer).
-----------------(edit 1)-----------------
been reading, one post( i know shouldn't have stop searching after see-ing the 1st post that pop up in google) someone mention it is a rom related problem? but like many post in q&a the op just disappears.
Hi all,
ever since i rooted my phone and flashed another ROM, i have been having this problem of very very long charging to 100%. I did attempt to calibrate the battery after flashing the ROM by the way.
First CM7, then Virtuous Inquisition, now Ordroid.
From 1% to 70% it would be quicker. Then from 71% and onward, it will take hours to move. I am using the original usb cable n adapter for charging, i can't seem to figure out what can be wrong.
Or did i calibrate the battery in a wrong way?
You charging via a power socket or a USB port in a device like a computer or something?
I think he was implying he's using the usb with wall charger
Mine takes almost 3 hours, more if i'm using it a lot while charging -- all stock with ICS
Hi, I'm on ordroid too and it takes me two to three hours to fully charge with my wall charger. I'm using a different battery, extended life Anker battery. My stock battery was so bad it took too long to charge and ran out so quickly! Are you using stock battery still or a another battery? If it's stock, you might want to consider a long lasting battery. I've found it charges faster and lasts longer. I hope this helps

It is intended to do that, i think.... I read before somewhere, too lazy to look for it though lol... It slows down the charging when its near completion to avoid battery damage.... Mine does the same thing, i give my phone atleast 7 or 8 hours from as low as 15 to 10 percent

Hi,
this not normal. My Sensation takes between 1 or 2 hours to full charge from empty.
After charging, how long you can run on battery?
When charging, is screen on or off? any application draining battery?
Regards
I think you just might have an issue with your charger. Go get a new one and see how that works out for you. If that doesnt fix it - get an anker battery

Honestly this seems more likely to be not normal. 0 to 100 in one hour with this phone would blow me away.

Are you serious..? I always thought something is wrong with my phone because of the long charging time. Many in the forum of custom ROM will feedback they charge for 2-3 hrs to full battery though..

Try to use different usb cord and wall charger, if it still giving you problem, i suggest u either do a fresh install your current rom or install a different rom.
try a different wall charger if the problem is the same then u need to consider a other battery
thanks for the advices..
it just came to my mind, that before I flashed any ROMs, when i was still using stock HTC Sense 3.0, it used to only take 2-3 hrs to full charge. Now it's 6.
Doubt that, mine charges to 100 in about an hour and a half (Running HyperNonSense).
If you're using a USB charger, make sure the phone knows the power source is (AC) and not USB. USB will charge a lot slower. Dial *#*#4636#*#* for testing info and look under battery information (There's probably another spot in settings but this is my favorite).
Also use the original power adpater that came with the device, or one that came with another similar device.
Mine takes 4-8 hours to charge in any ROM. Last night it was almost 9 hours from 3% to 100%
When it reaches 60 more or less it's like 100% if you reboot. I do reboot everytime to stop the wait. I don't know if that's bad but this phone charges very slow after some percentage is reached.
My phone take 1hr.45mins

This is crap, what you´re doing!
If you charge the battery, the phone doesn´t know how much capacity it got. (Could be an old battery or a bigger/smaller non-stock battery) So the device will recorgnice how fast the battery adopt the power and estimate when it slows down on a specific value when to stop and show 100%.
If you will restart the device during the loading sequence, it makes a battery calibration and thinks your on 100%. But of course it is still on 60%.
Your just fooling yourself
