I've searched and searched, but come up with nothing.
So today I decided I'd root my phone. After that was all said and done, I started up the phone and got a message, "unable to charge non supported battery see user manual." I never had any problems with this new battery, an Acesoft 1800 mAh that I've had for about a 1.5 months. I bought this battery because my old Samsung battery got fried. (I took it out and dropped it into water...)
I just purchased a Samsung battery off of amazon for $10, hoping that it'll come and fix all this.
I wanted better battery life, a faster phone, etc... None of that is useful if I can't charge my battery.
I used this root guide:
theunlockr (dot) com/2012/12/29/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-proclaim/
(I'm new, I can't post links yet. I'm sure you know what to do to go to the webpage)
So, my question: How do I fix this "non supported battery" mishap? Is there a different root or kernal I have to use? Will the Samsung battery I ordered fix this?
Thanks!
Wrong forum kid. Anyway I've had this message once or twice. Power down and take the battery out. Hold down the power button for about ten seconds, then put the battery back in and boot up. Hopefully that works.

Where does this belong? I'll gladly delete and move the thread wherever it needs to be.
As for your fix, it didn't work. Thanks though!

In the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim forum.
That would probably be a good start... I'll see if I can find it.
Sorry about that guys.
Np, you're in the Charge forums just fyi.

There is something wrong then. Try installing watchdog and see if there are any processes using a high percentage. It could be an app, and you might have a bad device. Try all your options first, there is more about this in the current battery thread here which is where this post really belongs.

Best battery? Battery life is all relative. Every single person will experience different battery life. The apps you have installed, the amount of time you spend on it and the time you spend on/in each app, distance from cell towers, distance from Wi-Fi sources, settings you have for every app and things like sync and what not.
There is no single variable that will ever help any of us find out what the best battery life is.
All the settings in the world won't help you achieve the 2 days I'm getting because I use mine differently that you, I have different apps on mine that you, I am at different distances from cell and Wi-Fi towers/antennas than you.
The best battery life is what you get out of yours.
right now watch dog says used 8% idle 59% apps 62

IMHO that would be a huge mistake, but it is your choice. Just one that I think you would end up regretting.
well i just read the review on engadget they claim to get 20hrs of battery life with heavy use and lots of phone calls and it has gingerbread......

And it only has 512MB of RAM, no SD card expansion, built by Sammy (and that isn't a good thing). It's a step down. No HSPA+ support.
You have to understand that the Nexus S is a dev phone that is oddly being offered to the public. It's not really even meant to go head to head with phones like the MT4G and others. It's a pure developer phone.
But again, it's your choice.
you are right in a way but i feel that gingerbread has fixed the battery issue and we will have to wait for ever to get gingerbread on our mytouch. And whats up with the youtube app? it is still not fixed with the ota
Way to stray off topic. LOL

There are some threads in the development section. The true permroot thread has a guide to flash back to S-on and you can even flash back your original Hboot. I have done it before and it is not hard.
I don't know how long you have had your device but I would give it some time if you have only had it a few days. If you are about to run out of your remorse period then a exchange should be of concern. If you bought it from a retail store you can just go back in and get another one. If you bought it from the internet then you will have to call them and get them to send you a new one.
PS: I assume you are on the software 2.2.1 right?

A friend of mine has whatever model the SPH D700 is. I think it said Galaxy S when it booted up. Regardless, from a full charge the phone will only last about 2 hours. I checked the battery usage and "Android System" is hogging 83% of the battery usage. I googled it and the only answer I seemed to find was installing "Launcher Pro"
It didn't always have this problem and I would like to fix it for her. Installing a new home launcher doesn't seem very legit to me. I'm sorry I posted here, I couldn't find SPH D700 forum on my phone.
If someone could point me in the right direction, maybe send a few links my way, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
Edit: Phone is and always has been completely stock. No custom ROMs or root ever.

Mods please feel free to move this to its correct forum...
re-install your rom and i think after your problem go out
Like a factory reflash? Like I said in OP phone has never even been rooted- let alone any ROMs...
Can someone please link me to the correct forums on here? I seriously can't find them for the life of me. :what: Laptop is out for repair and I have to use my phone until I get it back. If someone just gives me the xda forum link for this specific device I will read the stickies/search and figure it out on my own. Thanks

I have an HTC Shift that is now a replacement phone Sprint sent because the other Shift bricked on a OTA update. The phone itself looks brand new. (we have had it since Apriil) The problem with the phone is that it will never charge the battery. I actually have 3 spare batteries so in total 4 batteries are charged to 100% but as soon as I put them into the Shift device the battery status will range from 0% to 8% an occassionally will charge to 12% but no higher. If I take the battery out and put it into another HTC it will show 95% or better as charged - to be clear this is the same battery that just seconds before registered 12% or less.
I've tried everything. I've changed Roms (the good thing about this is that I can tell you the ins and outs on about 12 different Roms and kernels now) I've changed up kernels. I installed Bettery Battery, battery calibration tools, spare parts...booted it up empty, let it stay off and "charge" all night, on and charge all night, factory reset, everything but RUU because it just won't do it and HTC update, won't do that either because of the battery being below 30%.
OK, so you say - take it back to Sprint and get a new one - can't do that because I can't unroot it with the RUU as it still shows s-off -
I'm brain dead on this one.
I'm not a newbie at this. I've rooted several phones, HTC, LG, Palm Pre, even turned the Palm Pixie to a wifi goddess in it's day by switching out the radio(you know). I've jailbroke the Iphone and Ipad. Rooted my Thrive and turned a pandigital into a sweet little android.
I don't want to take the phone back like it is. I want to figure out what the heck is the issue. (i know...i know) When I plug the phone in the led comes on as though it is charging but it never charges...any ideas? you know it's probably something simple and I've just fried my brain at this point. Any ideas? Anybody??
Thanks in advance for any input, ideas or helpful tips!

Make sure you are wiping the system partition as well... Going from sense to aosp needs a thorough system (not data) wipe... To wipe system, it's located in mounts and storage in recovery if using cwm...

My girlfriend's phone has the EXACT SAME ISSUE. No idea how to fix, I figure there's a contact or sensor hw at fault. It's not ROM specific, flashing a new rom won't make a diff. As soon as the gf or I get a new phone, I'll mess with the device itself.
Best advice - return it!

Well that's a lot of money. When i was buying the Evo LTE i didn't know i would have to give them my phone and so when she asked for it i was like ummm... I need to go home and do something real quick. She gave me a weird like and ask what i need to do and told her that i can't say. I think she knew i was rooted cause she told me i won't get in trouble but i just was like nope i don't want a flagged account so i'll be back in 30 minutes. She gave up at that point

How I got stuck was I was having like extremely poor service and was waiting on a call back from them, and through reading what people said about them never calling I thought I was safe, about 30 minutes after I flashed cm7 a rep called and wanted me to go into epst and at that time I was so new to being a rooted user I had no idea it wasn't in aosp. So I tried the ## code and when she asked what happened I said nothing she said ok hang on while I flag your account. My first words to the rep was are you fu**ing kidden me! So I stabbed back by tethering to my ps3 while playing Modern Warfare lol

So...unroot before taking. As it says, there's an issue with reading the battery correctly. It's charging the battery, because when it goes into another phone, it shows the correct percentage.
It -has- to be a hardware issue. Unroot, RUU, whatever... there isn't an easy fix for this without messing with the hardware (which will likely result in ruining the device).
If the flex cables were shot, you'd all recommend the same thing. What's the difference with this?
There is a newer and easier way to unroot HERE
So i have been having a battery issue where my phone reads 20% and than dies. It will last the whole day but will die before i know its going to. To try and fix this problem i thought it might be kernel related, Im on a JB rom and was flashing Franco kernel from his app. I finished dwl and i was prompted with the "YES lets do this" to reboot the phone. Once i hit it my phone shut off. I'm like 90% sure it was due to my battery actually being dead. I've had it plugged in for 20 mins with no luck of anything happening when i hit power on or try getting into recovery. At one point it viberated and showed that I have zero battery but that was it. I can't get the thing to do anything. I also only have a MAC computer. PLEASE HELP! I've rooted and flashed a hundred phones and never ran into my phone not powering up at all. Did i brick it?
Anyone that could help please!
I can't think of anything short of getting another battery to see if thats the issue or finding a way to get some juice into the one you have. There was a trick somewhere in the rezound forum to get some charge to dead batteries that wouldn't charge due to an issue with clockwork mod. You should search for those threads and see if it helps.

No they will not, i had to get mine replaced for a charging issue Friday and i was rooted, custom everything. As long as your phone wont charge they wont be able to tell.
Just went in no go. I did indeed BRICK my phone from running a verizon gs3 with franco milestone 5. Everyone beware! Although it was my fault, If people have ran with kernel on the regular these past couple years, It was instinct. Verizon said i'd have to send my phone in and get a new one in two days

Lol Did they give you a temp phone?
Just to throw it out there have you tried getting into download mode? I had a similar problem with my razr where the battery died while flashing and it was bricked. I had to make a factory cable (allows you to flash in download mode without battery power). With this phone though I've noticed that if you leave the cable in and pull the battery while in download mode it will stay on which seems like it's doing what my factory cable did. It's volume down/power/home to get in to download see if you can do this with the phone plugged in.
EDIT: maybe I misread but if the firmware didn't install properly you can be missing even the software required to charge the battery. This means you can't charge up the phone until you flash some firmware in Odin via download mode, which you may be able to do with only the cable attached (direct power to the phone in dl mode and bypassing the dead batter).

I'm sending my A2 back to Motorola this week sometime, after having hooked it up to my car battery to fry the motherboard (without the OEM battery in it,of course) due to being soft bricked with no sign of resurrecting it. I might could see if one of my co-workers would be willing to take my battery home with them, charge it full, and then send it to you from here in Fort Worth. I don't suppose the shipping would be much, but I could see about this if you'd like...

actually, I found out that interstate batteries does it Macguyver style for FREE. I was still stuck in a softbrick though. Don't know why someone thinks I'm stealing??? more like asking a favor. I guess its better to assume that everyone is a crook then to ever think some people are honest.
Anyways, instead of wasting space, the real reason I posted again was to let you know, if you softbrick and find yourself in a "my phone is so smart it wont charge or flash less than 40% charged" situation like I did, GO TO INTERSTATE AND HAVE THEM CHARGE IT FOR FREE!
