Major battery problem.

Yesterday I let my battery drain all the way and then put it on charge before bed as usual. I normally keep my phone under my pillow everynight so my son doesnt get his grubby hands on it. This morning I woke up and the phone was red hot...the widget on my phone said the temp was 57 degrees...this can't be normal can it? Also the phone hasn't charged to 100%, after I took it off charge it was 83%.

Looks like you have one of the defected Overheater ones. I would get it exchanged.

''under my pillow'' is the problem, take it out will solve it smoothly.

You've probably cooked it by keeping it under your pillow. Dual core is going to generate some heat, and insulating that heat is a very bad idea.

Agreed . One night a while back I accidently fell asleep with my old iPhone 3gs under my pillow and the thing was on fire in the am so bad the back cover started to melt..your problem is the under the pillow and nothing more ..

I would advise to seek out another place to put your phone at night where:
1. Your son can't get it's grubby hands on it.
2. You don't insulate the heat by putting something like a pillow on it.

under the pillow.. as everyone said.
I guess Dual Core is heating, and when you cover it and don't let some chilly wind to come in, its like turning the cooling fans off.. it doesn't surprise me that it overheats.
Plus, isn't it "not advised" to sleep with a cell phone close to your head?

Never heard of not having a phone by your head...have done for years with many phones and never had this problem...its mainly because I use it as an alarm. I'll try it on the floor next to the bed tonight on a full charge and see what happens.cheers

I just have mine on my desk (depending on how you look at it) above/in front my head. Plug the charger in, put my phone next to PS3, use a homemade dock, and put nightdisplay on, from Gentle Alarm. Then I go to sleep

Yesterday after I over heated the phone it didn't seem to want to charge over 80% so I let it drain completely.last night charged the phone and unplugged it this morning and now it seems supercharged! Normal use since 8:00 this morning (uk time) and still on 95%!

Battery life

Hey , yesterday i left my phone plugged in overnight. After it has completed charging , the battery icon stops showing any signs of charge and lockscreen shows battery 100%. Anyways , from this i may conclude that the battery stops taking power after charging full . So all i want to ask is dose our htc gets overcharged / battery gets damaged due to stay plugged in overnight?
Regards

Most probably yes, it damages the battery may be, i have explorer from about 10 months and my use is Hardcore! and i really mean that so many times ive put my phone on charge on night and it gets overcharged, everything was fine from 9 months but now ive started to have problems with battery like, phone normaly charges to 65% in less than an hour then takes 3-4hours to reach 100. So its better if u charrge it when its needed.
Hope this helps.

Ya, but I've noticed that after teaching 100% the phone stops charging by itself., somewhere i read that if devices battery has been charged , the charger itself stops producing more power. That means device or the charger dose not allows overcharging of the battery than how are you experiencing problems when your device has never been overcharged ? I have a busy schedule and only have time to charge my explorer at Night . It would be a big problem for me if you say phone gets overcharged and battery gets damaged.

Acc. To me if u charge ua fone over night it won't make any problem cz fone automatically disconnects. With ma past experience I saw mani fones like I have used Corby, cyber shot, w200 evry day I did same thing but those fone never give problem. Till now those giving battery working. And some guy said that from 0 to 65% comes in hour like then its takin time mine also doin same thing. Every mani of ma Samsung fones also same thing. So its manufactureed like dat.

my explorer get charge in almost 3hrbut it nevr gave bacup of more than a day on genral use right from the begning :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Battery doesn't get over charged, but it does keep charging the battery as fast and its being used, so yeah, in the long run its not a good idea to leave it on all night.
And btw, i still leave my dumbphone connected to charger all night, and its goin on its 3rd year and battery still going strong, but then again, those phones barely has any use of battery as compared to a smartphone.
Anyway, you shouldn't do it, it won't hurt overnight, but in the long run you will notice issues.

Charging for long hours will hurt your battery because it's only a 1300mAh 4142mV thing. But, even I have to keep my phone on charge whole night due to lack of time. If someday you find battery getting heated up, start taking care of it asap.
Remember, battery is the heart of your phone.

Having the same problem as hsn97

yeah.. try not to leave it for charge for over an hour after its fully charged.. It can lead to serious problems.. Mine takes about 3 hours for a full charge and lasts a little over 1 and half days..

Well, yes. If you will notice, the phone charges in 3 ways:
1. From 0 to 90% it will charge in rapid speed.
2. 90% to 100% the incoming current will reduce significantly.
3. When it reaches 100%, the current falls really low, so that overcharge does not take place.
But if the charger is left overnight, the low charge can cause lot of problems. Overcharging reduces the battery life and performance.

I have been using explore for almost a year now and my battery has not decreased much.
I keep it everyday overnight for charge

Overnight charge is okay but if the phone reaches full battery and you still continue to charge it will reduce battery life

HTC sensation

i think u need to calibrat the battery. go on recovery wipe battery state, maybe this will delete the old wrong battery information for android.

You need to calibrate the battery...
Follow this, charge the phone till u r sure its fully charged(not what the battery shows), reboot to recovery, wipe battery stats...
After the restart, keep the phone on charging for half an hour to 45 min.
Hopefully this should help unless the battery itself has gone faulty.

'Calibrating the battery' is not actually a real thing.
It's a myth that has been thoroughly debunked. The battery stats only show what has used the battery, not how much of it should be left.
And nothing relating to battery stats would explain why the battery level is decreasing while it's plugged in. However 2 things will explain that.
1) You are using a charger that's less than 1 amp. The stock charger than came with the phone and most any other smartphone charger is a 1 Amp unit. If you are using a generic charger it might not have the power needed to charge the phone while you're using it. Same with charing via a USB connection on a computer. Or, you do have a stock 1 amp charger and it's just gone bad. Test this by trying another charger. However if the phone loses battery while plulgged in and not being used, then the charger probably isn't the problem.
2) Your battery is on it's last legs and needs to be replaced. They don't last forever. After a year, maybe two, they start to lose their ability to take and hold a charge. This is the more likely problem. The sollution is to just get a new battery. New stock batteries cost about $10 on Amazon. New Anker larger capacity battery will last longer and only cost about $18.

Battery level falling even while charging

Hi guys,
In my phone my battery level keeps falling even when it I plugged to the charger...it goes up to a certain percentage and then starts falling off the cliff while still on charger...attaching a picture of the charge cycle...
I am on Albino JB 4.2.2 build 13th April. Have already tried three different batteries but same result...switched ROM and still the same...greenified most apps such as FB and maps...Even tried different chargers !!! This is really harassing me... Can someone guide me pls what to do next ???
Thanks

I've had the same problem once, do you use your original wall charger?
If not, buy an orginal no fake.
That's what helped with me

try a different battery.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I have already tried different batteries but maybe its the original wall charger thing. Will give it a shot.

Until that point it seems to be charging just fine. Will it charge the battery fully when the phone is off? Try completely discharging your battery then fully charging it while keeping your phone off.

Hi guys.
The problem continues !!!
Below are the things i have tried...
1.) Charging with original wall charger during phone on...Battery still declining during charging
2.) Completely wiped my phone and did not put any app still the same result
3.) Got a new Anker battery and still the same result (this is my fourth battery !!!)
4.) Tried different chargers and still the same result
5.) Switched off the phone and charged overnight and it took approx 8 Hrs to charge full but then the battery depleted quite quickly !!!
There is something wrong with the battery indicator it seems...Once the battery hits 0% while charging it rockets backs to 100% and then again starts to deplete.
Any more suggestions anyone ???

Maybe the charging electronic is just broken, if there is you have really tested new charger and new battery. Maybe controll your batterypins, maybe those are somehow broken (especially ground pin?)

I hope you also tried in different wall sockets lol
Otherwise I think the mechanism responsible is busted :S

Hi. I had the same problem. I solved it by getting a new cable for the charger. I.e. the charger was working well, but the cable was failing to deliver enough power. Hope this will work for you too.

I use it 4 hours and then Battery shows %3 i tried diffirent Battery,wall charger, rom and kernel but no change and I put piece of paper between battery and device but same result someone any idea to solve the problem?
Sent from my sensation xe z715e with beats audio

If you have tried different roms, batteries, chargers and you still have got problem i think that problem is in phone hardware...

Did you try a different battery? The problem you described doesn't seem like a software problem...
Sent from my HTC Sensation

I think that our phone don't like reboots during charge. I cant found a really good explanation, but mine and my brother's one do that too..
It do that when i charge my phone from an external 5600Mha ANKER Battery. If battery is at 60% or more, i reboot the phone and the battery is charge at 90%. I think this charge is not really a true charge information, because the battery will take the same time to unload, as if it was a 60%

Thanks of all your answer but no solve hee

Please check your battery first. Make sure the battery shape is flat on both side. If not,replace a new battery.
If the battery is in good shape, try to take off the battery for 5 or 10 minutes and put it in again. Don't turn on the phone right away, please charge the phone via original charger and cable until you see the green indicator. Power on the phone in recovery and make sure the battery is 100% full. Then try to wipe battery status in recovery. Reboot your phone. Use your phone in normal and wait for two or three battery cycle and see how it goes. Please remember, don't try to flash another Rom at the meantime.

Like Skipjacks mentioned, wiping your battery stats won't change a thing. My battery status is weird as well but wiping didn't make it any better.
