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

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.

Hi everyone I have a problem.
When I charge my battery it charges normally to 70 % after that it takes about 3 to 4 hours to charge till it reaches 100 % but if I reboot my device when it's charged to about 75% the Battery is suddenly fully charged.
I have tried to calibrated it but it didn't help.
I have this problem on every rom. What can the cause of the problem be.
It used to charge normally at first when I bought.
I have my desire s for one year now.
My device is rooted via revolutionary and s-off.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at your battery for any swelling or signs of damage on the battery, it is possible that your battery is shot.
Re: battery...
Could it be that with the reboot,
device wipes its battery stats and looses the info?
(Or is it happening only during flash)
my phone has that same symptoms, but it happens mainly
, when i flash a rom, forgetting fully charge the battery before- after reboot it indicates full charge..
Edit: according to amidabuddha, htc has implemented safety switch in to charging procedure,
, when the load reaches certain level- it slows down
Then begins to indicate ' fully loaded' before
It realy gets to it- that is suposed to lengthen live of the battery,
but three to four hours sounds unusual...
Edit 2. When during charging battery gets to hot, charging stops as well...
Me too, charging from 0-70% needs 1,5-2 hours then 70-95% needs 4 hours, 95-100% just needs couple minutes, Idk why this happens, the battery stat says health...
When in the middle of charging I reboot the device, the level rises up anomaly, ex. The device is charging, and the level is 12 and I reboot, when I get back to homescreen it says 45%..
Also, the led changes from orange to yellow not when the level on fully charged, usually on the 90%.. my device is almost 2 year old

no, there is much difference in time.
From my experience, this behaviour is due to battery age. It started happening after about a year for me. I bought a new battery and the problem went away.
But I never had any real problems as a result of the slow charging of the old battery. If you recharge overnight, then it will have sufficient time to fully charge.
Based on what I now know, I wouldn't replace the battery until it stops holding its charge.

Get a new battery. This one you have is probably just worn out. Long charging is a common symptom of a dying battery.

does it take as long on the official HTC charger?
did you replace the battery with either a NEW Anker 1900, or NEW official HTC battery?
if you can answer yes to both of these questions, then it is possible that your phone may have a hardware failure...
what rom are you using?
2 yes
1)yes, on the official HTC charger it's take so long time.
If the program Battery Monitor Widget is does not lie on the official HTC charger phone max take 250mA.
most takes on the nokia charger - 350mA. and says that the phone is connected to USB

The charger itself could be bad. Do you have another charger or can you borrow another charger for 2 hours to test?
Just about any other charger for a modern smart phone will work. They should all be 1 amp chargers. If it was bought in the last year or two it should be 1 amp. Chances are most people in your life have one.

Try wiping battery stats , I had trouble getting it to charge ,it was at about 80% but had took hours to get to that , wiped battery stats and it was actually 100% charged,
Had to wipe twice and use a battery calibration app twice then switch off and gave it 30min after green light came on but eventually its working fine
Although there is still a good chance your original battery is knackerd,

Wiping your battery stats did not affect this. Battery stats are just a log file. They have no impact on charging or discharging.

I don't think so. I think the battery is part of the internal electrical circuit. It can't route power from the cord directly to the device. If the battery is missing its the same as if you cut an section out of a wire.

Most of the times it comes down to the rom or kernel.

I have to reboot it the morning after a whole night charge, because at the morning it is around 80%, and when I reboot 100%. Rooted, S-Off unlocked boot loader from htcdev. I don't have the original charger or cable. I did battery stats wipe in recovery but it still bug. Is there any way to fix it? P.s:I'm on Sensation HD overclpcked ROM

Get an app called battery calibration (I don't remember the exact name) and try fixing you battery.
Also, a full night charge and a full discharge and again a full night charge worked for some people with the issue.

about percentage while charging it is a htc's common issue and there is no fix yet for it
but in your case leaving the device for charging all night and still staying at 80% surely something is wrong

I would suggest to use battery calibration tool. For kind of problem you are referring to, it seems more like ROM or worn out battery.
Leave a phone to charge and read it's battery charge rather than value. It's usually around 4196. When you see this value, just calibrate it using calibration tool from google play. Do not charge the phone again until it's dead. Charge your phone again till 4196mV and hopefully the battery will show stable value.
Bad and worn out batteries will usually show random displays

It seems to me that either your phone is consuming a lot of battery or you have some problem with your charging IC. You should get it checked. Also, how about trying a different ROM. Does that help. Why not try CM9.1 or latest version of CM. I am using CM9 and it is very stable and fast.
I hope that also helps with your problem.

Seems like a serious problem to me on your hardware part really. If it supposed died that quickly which I am assuming, you will need to get your phone checked from a care centre. There must be some volts FLYING all over your motherboard.
I would suggest you buy a new phone and sell it off to a mechanic. (Better will be to ask how much to repair, sell it off ebay etc and then buy a new phone )
Hello, i'll recieve a new battery tomorrow. (original htc sensation one)
Do i have to charge it with the phone closed for like 2 days before actually using it ?
No need
Just take couple of charging cycles..
Do a full charging at 1st , use cellphone till battery downs to 6-7%
Recharge again to 100%
Do this 3-4 times to see battery backup

Ditto. This procedure should be just fine. Use your phone as you would normally. When it gets low, plug it in and charge it up to 100%. Do this another 2-3 times and you should be set.

Ok, just got my battery.
I didnt charge it since i got it. So i simply charge it to 100% when it gets to 2%.
After a few charges it should recognise the new battery, right?
Its not like i have to clear battery cache or let the phone to discharge completly and afterwards to let it charge closed?
Edit: it already lasts much longer
