Is this NORMAL[Charging / Batt Indicator] ????

Guys,
when i keep my HTC sensation on charging, it gets charged till 99%, and it never increases, even though i do not remove the charging. The indicator light remains ORANGE... sometimes it does go to 100% with the light turned GREEN, but 9 out of 10 times, it is stuck at 99%.
Is anyone else getting the same problem???

I don't have your phone, but I do know that sometimes when you load roms while your battery is low, the battery stats will be messed up. Or just after a while your battery stats screw up due to charging while the battery is not full..
Try charging fully (if you can get to 99% only thats fine). Then boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats. (if you have that option in whatever recovery you have). Then reboot your phone. Let it drain completely. When I mean completely I mean, when your phone dies, turn it on again and wait till it dies again. Then finally, just charge to the full. If this problem persists, it may be a hardware glitch? lol... Or some Rom glitch? What ROM are you running anyways? If you are at all..?
Hope I helped

I am using the stock ROM 1.28.xxx.
Going into the recovery would wipe out my phone data? and could you elaborate a little more on this process, like the steps and options to do it.
Thanks.

i don't think the problem is in your battery stats because it is a stock rom. Try leaving it on charge overnight to see if you will get green led indicator. Mine gets green when it is fully charged.

Do you have a custom recovery image? That is important. And are you rooted?

Yes I agree with you.. He should probably just leave it to charge overnight. Sometimes it takes very long to get from 99% to 100%.

It is normal, the last 1% takes a while sometimes. But it will charge to 100% if you let the phone charge.

Sensation is not S-OFF (bootloader is locked) yet so almost none of us have custom images. Only %0,001 of users get S-OFF on very very luck. Just informing

which is your concern...
a) the LED being orange at 99%
b) not reaching 100%
?
personally I would not worry about b)
as for a), I thought it went green once it reached ~ 90%?
EDIT: quick correction

NO,if the battery reaches 100%, it turns the battery GREEN, but it hardly reaches to 100%, most of the time it is stuck at 99%.

[Q] Power Issue.. Please Help!

Hi all,
There's this problem with my phone that everytime I charge it, it takes an elongated time to do so. This issue first emerged when I was on stock GB after a minor OTA update which added the power saver toggle to the quick settings menu..The problem is that it takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge the phone, and if I rebooted in the middle of charging when it's about 70% or 80%, it suddenly shows that the phone is fully charged, and the indicator becomes green! But afterwards the battery drains as quickly!
Now I have S-Off and using ARHD 6.6.3 ROM, but it seems the problem persists ..I wiped battery stats as soon as I flashed the ROM as well..Although it's not a problem I cannot live with, it's annoying enough when it happens.
Can someone please help me? And suggest me what to do?

its common thing...the battery calibration is not proper that's all...
also you need to wipe stats once you charge your phone to 100%
then battery will try to calibrate ...and after 3-4 full complete cycles (100-0 and 0-100)
the battery will settle..
the battery drain will be there ...whenever you flash a rom or flash a kernel....battery only settles atleast after 2 full cycles
EDIT: also download currentwidget from market..as the name says its a widget..so you will see it in widgets once you installed it...this will give you more proper reading of battery...when you plug your phone to charge...and when current widget reads 0mah then your battery is charged completely...(it might take a long time to read 0mah...but charge it until you see 0mah)..then wipe the battery stats...so after this battery calibration will be proper
Also the sudden jump of battery percentage is due to improper battery calibration
so dont worry you got no problem

So
I read somewhere that you are not supposed to let the phone go to zero because it could cause your phone to not power back on anymore..is this fact. I couldn't find where I read it to back and read again. Mine has been doing some weird things as well...the led turns green before it is 100% and it goes from 100% and drops to like 89% out of no where.

when i meant 100%-0% means until your phone turns off due to less power..it might not(or won't be) be 0% then
as i told you that kind of jumps are common ...in my case it went to 60% to 100% when i rebooted ...also the dropping used to be in large scale too

[Q] Problem with battery in charge

I just get my phone after a repair and I see a battery problem: when my phone is charging, about 82%, growth stops. If I shuts down my phone and I back on, it displays 100%.
does anyone know why and what to do about it ?
Thanks

Happened to me once, it was charging rather long than usually, stucked at around 80%, rebooted and it showed 100%. And it depleted normally.
Another time was after flashing a new rom, there was an issue so i rebooted while charging at around 80% as well, rebooted and it showed 100%, but it depleted rather fast from 100% to 90% so i knew it didnt "fully" charge. but charge it the next day and it was back to normal.
So imo it shouldnt be an issue. but hows your battery life?? does it depletes rather fast? U can try calibrating it with battery calibrater which can be downloaded from market. But i read that ds phones calibrates itself after each charge. so no worries there.

Happened to me as well
I avoid rebooting now (unless absolutely necessary) to see that happen again. Ignorance is bliss
I think it may be the battery starting to wear off ??

I have the same issue,
I wipe battery stats in recovery and now it's no problem

Thank you for your answers.
Maybe my batery begins to die but i will try to wipe the battery stats and i will see.:good:

Battery Problems

Yesturday night I flashed the 4ext recovery, hboot version 1.49.0007, OPPA GANGNAM rom and GAAPS 4.1.
Right after that I calibrated my battery by using it until 1% and then charged it all night. When I woke up it was only at 99% and it wouldnt go higher. Now it only charges up to 92% and the green LED opens to tell me the battery is fully charged... What did I do wrong... Why can't my device charge higher. What can I do to fix this?

There's no fix for this. It's the general android behavior to prevent overcharging batteries. One thing that works on some phones is to charge your phone when it's shut down, it should reach 100% but that's just cosmetic.
Battery guides and how to extend the battery life explain this behavior with more details.

Charging time

Hello, I have bought rooted htc sensation and am very upset with it's charging time, it takes about one hour to charge 10% of battery. Example today I started charging it at 7:05 when it had 49%of battery. Now it's 11:06 and battery shows 88%. I know it's not normal. Is there any way how to fix it, or maybe test my phone somehow? Should new battery solve this problem?

Try deleting battery stats in recovery, this can lead to misreading. Also, usually the battery is higher than the percentage shown, just reboot your phone and you'll see how much battery is left (one time it showed me 2% when I actually had 45%, but that's because I put my phone in a -20C freezer).

Try the 'battery calibration' app on the play store, I believe it can do this. But keep in mind that the battery an lose it's calibration with time, and even if uncalibrated, it will last about the same (although the OS starts saving at 30%).

Battery calibration didn't helped. But I noticed strange thing:
My friend also has htc sensation and his battery fully charges in 4hours. I exchanged my battery with him and charging time is same! He fully charged my battery from 14% to 100% 4 hours and my phone still charges very slow. I started charge his battery from 44%, at first it was charging very fast, but after 4hours it charged only to 88%. I rebooted phone and then it showed 100%. Where is the problem? My phones charges very slow with any battery. I don't want to reboot it every time to show 100%

What ROM do you have? Is it stock or other? I need about 2:30 to be filled in A1-7 4.3 ROM ... Have you tried the USB and what are the results? Maybe make some other rom, so if you do not work fast carge, change the charger and battery

I got the same "problem" but only with custom roms, stock rom doesnt have this problem for me.
But after a reboot the battery shows its actual percentage.

In the end you still have a fully charged battery, it just do not show well while charging?
I read somewhere in albinomena tread to show that when the phone is fully charged, you need to leave for an hour on the charger.
I do not know this dayes my anker is really acting up strange, I can not get over 3h screen on time

Wiping battery stats won't help you.
Put your phone to charge overnight, discharge it completely. Do this for a few days.
Do not wipe battery stats, or you'll have to go all over again.
Happy to help.
