The last couple of days I've noticed something strange with my battery. I keep it on the charger all night and when I get up in the morning my phone says the battery is at 100% and the charge LED is green. The instant I pull my phone off the charger it drops a couple percent. I thought that was strange so this morning instead of pulling the phone off I just shut it down. Once the phone was completely off the LED went from Green to Orange as if it was charging again. It look another 20 minutes to turn green again. I powered the phone up and as soon as sense is loaded I am back to 93% battery.
Anyone else see this? I've wiped battery stats and did the whole calibration but that didn't seem to fix the issue.
That is normal... Once the batt hits 100%, the charger goes off and lets it drop to 95% or so and starts charging again. It does this to protect the battery. Also when you turn off, it will restart the charge.
The battery is lying, but that's not such a bad thing.

My battery has been acting up the last few days as well. As in, going from a full charge to ~35% in 3 hours and then down to ~12% an hour later. No new apps added, nothing out of the ordinary done. Regular uses and charging cycle. I normally reset my battery stats when I flash a new incarnation of a new ROM, but after a couple of days everything seems to be back to normal.
I've been baffled by this, but have yet to find the culprit. An app or searching for signal are my only thoughts.

This makes perfect sense, thank you for the link!
Hi all,
Several days ago my DS can't charge to 100%, it usually stops at 87% and hangs there with the orange LED. Once I turn the phone off, the green LED turns on and phone display 100%. So do you guys know what's going on, does it affect to my battery's capacity? And how to deal with it please? Thank you so much!
Calibrate your battery, this is an app for it.
Hi Tectas, thank you for your post.
I've tried it, also shut down, charge to green LED, boot, charge again...
but the problem still exist...

Can you borrow another identical battery and determine if its phone or battery, if it's the battery then request that HTC send you another as a replacement - should be covered under warranty.
My phone turned on with my friends battery but when I insert my battery the phone only blinks a red led and won't turn on. It happened shortly after installing bricked kernel and 4ext recovery

Hi,
That would suggest that your battery is flat.
Why don't you plug the charger in for half an hour ,then try booting again.
Yeah like above said your battery is dead, as soon as the light stays solid it means you can start your phone. Depending on how badly its drained itll take like 15 mins while being plugged into AC. This usually happens to me while playing a game and i dont notice the low battery lol
exactly the same thing happened to me just now...
Strange thing thou was that the phone was connected to the charger all night long and I just removed it from the charger
Charging right now... lets wait a bit
-update
Charger seems to have died in action.....
what was your outcome adiallo77 ?
-update 2
Charger started to work fine again ...
I'm confused now
I had the same problems when I first install cwrecovery, after a night in the charger it was working fine again
I just started having this problem with my phone. The battery is not charging at all, my phone won't turn on, but the red light is blinking. I have been reading and trying all day everything I could find in xda, but still no results. I can't remember which ROM I installed last, but it has stock kernel, ICS probably virtuous.
This usually happens when your battery has drained completely.
Here's what you need to do. Put your phone on an hour long charge before trying anything.
Don't put the phone for charge on the PC or in the car, but use the standard wall charger that was provided with the phone. Whatever happens, don't pull the phone off charging.
After an hour of charging is completed, switch on your phone as you normally would, without unplugging the charger. Your phone should be fine.
Let it charge to 100%, calibrate your battery and perform a restart to maintain the right graduation for battery levels.

Have you tried a different battery?
Have you checked if the battery fits tightly?
EDIT: Too many of these recently. We need to find the source!

i don't have an extra battery but the one i have does fit. I'm gonna see if i can find me another battery borrowed.
Does the orange light continue to blink after a few minutes? I had this problem a while ago but the light would blink for about a minute and then stop, then the battery wouldn't charge and my phone wouldn't turn on.
What I ended up doing was putting my battery into my Desire HD and charging it for 15 min (aligning the pins and just holding the battery down since its too big to fit in the HD and letting it charge) and then I put it back into my sensation and it would pick up charge.
I would suggest getting an external charger and letting the charger bring your battery up to 5-10 percent then putting it back into the sensation and try to charge it/see if your phone will turn on.
The same thing has just happend to my gf's sensation XE, she left it on all night charging, now it wont turn on, tried everything. Its all stock since day one. might have to send it back, her last HTC phone broke too (wildfire), Any tricks to try and get it to turn on?
The lights come on at the bottom keys, but no display ?
I've got a new battery from what seems a great seller on eBay.
I've replaced the battery very carefully and when I started charging it, the phone showed only blinking orange led like the battery is drained out. I've waited for more than an hour and the led didn't change.
I've returned the original battery and now when I connect the phone to the charger, the orange led blinks again even though the battery is on 66%, also I get an exclamation mark on the battery and it turned grey.
Any advice on how to continue?
EDIT: I've tried the battery reset procedure (Volume up+ Down + Power) for two minutes while connected to an original charger. It didn't work on the new and the old battery. Also did soft reset and no results. I'm stumped! even if the new battery is defective how come the new one doesn't show the correct percentage??
As the title states, my phone won't charge or turn on. It was at 2 percent battery when I turned it off a few hours ago and put it on a fast charger when I got back and it was running just fine. It Charged to 99 percent before I took it off the charger and was using it. However, I restarted because Adaway asked and the phone never turned back on. And the Orange LED isn't showing up either. I doubt its the battery because It still had 90 percent when I restarted it. There is no Battery Blinking on the screen wither and holding the power and volume up causes the HTC splash screen to appear for a few seconds before turning off again. Its stuck in that loop if I keep it held.
Anyone have any suggestions with what I could do here?
