Phone won't charge.

Hi everyone,
My sensation won't charge via the USB or ac adapter. I owned a stock gingerbrefad sensation, but two weeks ago, it fell into water, so I ran out on Craigslist and bought another one. This one has the hd revolution ics rom on it. Is there a way to restore this back to stock gingerbread to see if this is a hardware of software issue? I am having to charge the battery in my old, water damaged sensation, and then stick it in the newer sensation until I get this fixed. Quite a pain, and the battery won't last all day.

Could be the charging port check out if it looks/seems fishy a bit maybe a crack or something otherwise for poor battery you can get 2 anker battery and a charging thingy for 30$ might want to check that out on ebay!

The port doesn't look cracked, and the USB sits in there just fine. The phone also shows that it is charging, but the battery percentage never increases. In fact it decreases. I also bought an anker battery and have the same issue.

Sounds liek you have a short on the motherboard. Send it off for a warranty repair, DON'T take it apart yourself

Could be it as well but this issue is quite odd...

Charge very slow

Hi,
Well, i had like 3% yesterday on my phone before I went to bed, it charged for about 6h and it only went to 47% normally it should be full charged at 6h.
So what can I do about it?
I'm not using an original HTC-cable because mine is broken, so i bought one from Ebay in hongkong this one
For me it's the same as my previous one so.. I don't really know what the problem is! There are no apps running in the background because i'm using juicedefender.
I'm not charging my phone with my PC.
Please help me!

How old is the battery? And is it in good condition?
Did the charging problems start when you first changed cables or not? Does charging with the phone off make a difference to the charge speed for you?

Don't trust these chargers you get from ebay. They may not be the same as the original(especialy if it was shipped from HongKong). Did you charge your phone by USB? Try charging with the wall charger and see how long it takes.

I've used the charger of my girlfriend the day before yesterday and there were no problems.
Im going to try my brother's BlackBerry charger its the same as a htc charger.
Lets hope for the best, thanks for reply

Yes BlackBerry charger should work fine. Also some Samsung chargers can do the job

Thank you so much! I've buyed a charger and my phone is charging for max 20 min and the battery increased already by 10%!
Thank you really!!
An other question in you signature I see that you have an anker battery, is it a good choice to buy it?

Yes I really suggest you buy it, it has made a world of difference for me. It's worth the money trust me!
And 10% for 20 min doesn't seem quick to me unless you were using the phone in the meanwhile or you had more than 70% of charge

I was using my phone and had more than 70%
And for the anker battery going to buy it

Mugem is also a good battery. I have both mugen and Anker. I get more juice with my mugen. It just depends what your looking for want a bit more time, choose mugen. However Anker is priced more reasonably. In my experience mugen has lasted longer than my Anker but it takes a few days to build up to a longer charge . After a few days you will really see the difference. Hope this helps. Best wishes

i think u should buy a orignal battery ,, instead of extended ones,, the kernel reads it like its still 1450 mah,, u need a special kernel for extended batteries to work properly, which we do not have!! and some extended batteries also lift up the screen from inside,

If battery that you want is not available in your ebay you can always buy it at foreign one and have it shipped to you. Still the costs can be ridicullus and shipping time irritating. Also what Razi said is true.

Battery
I've heard mugen makes a 1800 mah battery has anyone gotten one of these, if so does it fit well and does it last as long as it claims.

I bought a Polarcell 1600mAh battery on ebay and I would recommend it. Was about 12 Euros I think.

SCUD brand battery is quite good

I bought a standard 1500mAh. It is as good as original from HTC.

I bought one from Anker for 13€ on Amazon after my original died and I would recommend it too cause my phone isn't warmer and lifes longer^^

Hello, my battery is charging incredible slow.
I have been using my first battery for about 1 year. Then i got spare battery as 'sorry' from Htc Repair Service, because they din't fix falling of display at first.
So i used my first battery for 1 year, then put it in shelf, charged to 2/3 of capacity.
Then i started using second battery - Genuine One from service.
It's 1 year from then. Battery is charging incredible slowly. I also tried changing charger for 2AMP (tablet, genuine nexus 7), but it didn't help at all.
What can be problem ? I also tried cleaning charging port, didn't help.
I put my phone on charger this morning with 15%. Now it's 4 hours later, and battery has only 80%.

I'd say it is defective. (or just worn out)

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.
