[Q] [Question] Battery LED becomes gray sometimes with a "!"

Hello People,
Can somebody help understand why the Battery Icon turns on Gray with a "!" in the middle of it, and in battery information, status shows Unknown for 2 minutes ?
Thanks for your help

never heard of that, check battery contacts to ensure that they're clean, ensure fast boot is off before you power down device, you'll find option in settings, power.
I'd install a battery usage application like battery monitor widget and see what it reports during these "grey" moments
Swyped from HTC Desire S using XDA Premium

Thanks I'll do that now and see if the problem persist, will monitor also the battery; maybe i'll return the phone if the problem persists.

report back with the usage figures that you get and we can see if the battery is working as expected, other wise you may be better of simply trying to get a new battery on warranty rather then send in your device and loose it for a couple of Weeks, as it could be either battery or device that is faulty

Your battery is very probably bad. Is it a genuine HTC? Stop using it if it isn't!

Battery is Genuine came with the Phone !
I'll buy one from Muggen @1800mAh
I went to Vodafone to explain the issue, but you can't talk to an Uruk'hai you know !
Anyway, I wasn't expecting any help from them, as they're sharks like the others.
Thank guys for your help, I'll try with a new battery and give a feedback...
PS : Also contacted HTC...No comment, the poorest Tech.Support I've ever had to deal with. You ask a question with details, the answer is in 4 words -> Battery out of charge. and then they closed the case.thanks HTC.

this happened to me when the battery wasn't properly inserted

Ok finally HTC support answered that the icon means OUT OF CHARGE...Or that there's a problem ))))
Anyway the problem disappeared after I uninstalled Battery Widget.
Still waiting the new battery @1800mAh
Thanks all for your support and advise.

Gray/Icon episode 5 saison 1
Hello again,
Something strange happened yesterday....I configured the power management on the phone to switch to economic mode @20%, and when the battery reached 20%, the icon appeared for 1minute again, and disappeared.
I think HTC described correctly the issue Out Of Charge, the icon appears once the battery is about to be OOC...we'll see later the results and the evolution.

I would certainly try to return just your battery under the inital warranty....and see if it continues to occur afterwards with the one that they replace it with!

I have exactly the same problem on my phone. Talked to HTC, this is what the online support told me:
James: Have you tried removing the battery?
James: I recommend that we perform a soft reset on the phone. This is done by removing the battery from the phone while it is still powered on. Leave it out for 5 minutes and then put the phone back together and switch it on.​
That's not good advice, is it?

Episode 6
Hello,
Not sure it's a good idea...are you sure you talked to a HTC support agent?
Taking off the battery while the phone is on....:-S wouldn't try it.
FYI I reset the phone from the menu, the problem still persist, I don't think it's a soft issue (or maybe it is? Bug, error, or I/O misunderstood by the code?) Anyway....for the moment my phone isn't doing it since I uninstalled the battery widget, will test it again with the Mugen battery when it'll arrive, and keep you informed about the original one until then.

WOw! that is really awful advice, although at least they had you wait before re-inserting the battery......A soft reset of the phone is simply to restart it from the Power Menu!
Ouch!

To power off properly, just reboot into the boot loader and then select power down.
That's off, off.

[Q] HTC Sensation deceased?

Hello everyone, yesterday evening, return home and I realize that the cell is turned off, think "will discharge the battery," put in office, at which point the LED turns on and off then after 5 / 6 flashes then stays on for 5 seconds back other to blink 3 times and then turn off everything completely but the phone does not want to re-ignite. I tried to remove battery and was in charge all night but nothing to do, no signs of life.
anyone have any ideas?
though unfortunately had to serve as a service bought in germany sensation with vodafone branding, those who contact the warranty?
thanks to all who will be able to give me a help
Sorry for English greetings

Which clock work mod are you running? some people are having trouble charging while the phone is turned off because of clock work mod, you will need to buy a new battery or charge the battery in another sensation long enough so you can turn the phone on and charge it. Hope this helps!

+1 My thoughts exactly. Currently using CWM 5.0.1.0 and have no problems. Died out the battery completely and was able to pull a charge and have it show via LED.

Hello and thanks for your response, recovery, if I remember correctly is 4.1 and something.

SOLVED! for all to hear:
I took a cable "that I had the ugliest" I cut and I got the black and red wires, attached to the battery manually "on the red positive" and "negative black" to give a little charge and after a while I put battery in the phone is finally on again ....

I tried everything posted on forums to get my sensation out of the blinking orange light issue and the one above this post was my solve, just give that battey a little impuls with 5Volts and it will wake up again.GREAT!
Ghalba, youre my hero!

Blinking orange light issue by some chance while you had CWM flashed did you check if after the Orange LED would blink the Flashlight would kinda flash as well ?

sounds like the battery lost completely all of its charge. usually when that happens, the battery is done for. try another nexus s battery.

is there any way to recover the battery at all?

try pulling the battery out while still plugged in, then put it back in. try wall charger and try usb. even try putting the battery in the freezer for an hour or so(i doubt itll help though).

At the end I had to play McGiver but it worked just great...
I jump started the battery as shown in this video

If you are performing it on a new phone's battery this process is not for the faint of heart... but I had ordered already a new battery so I just took the gamble...
Anyhow for whoever may have the same problem this WORKS.

HTC Sensation XE battery not charging properly

Im facing battery problem with my HTC XE
It will not charge to 100% It only charge to the 91% and then green led says its full.
I was on custom ROMS like VenomS , Elegancia but same problem.
Then i get back to stock and same problem remains. I got brand new battery to see if problem still exists but phone
will not charge new battery. It says directly FULL but i cant even start the phone with new battery so it must be empty.
Battery is HTC OEM BA S780
I contacted HTC and they told me to send the phone for repair or replace.
But before send it did someone know what is wrong?
I even tryed ti wipe all stats and everyting when i was rooted but nothing helps.
Thanks for the answers.

Hi,
How long did you leave it on charge after 91% ?
Mine used to get to that point and go green.
I would leave it on charge and it eventually reached 100%

mine shows green led when it is at 99%
after a few time it shows 100% hehe

YEah but something is wrong. It will not charge my brand new battery at all?
Cant even start the phone with my new battery. It lights up green directly and wont charge.
I think there is an issue with the phone.
My friend have an XE and his charging into 100 and its 1 year old.
But if it was not an issue then HTC shouldnt tell me not to send it in for repair.

Extrange problems with battery charge

Hello guys I'm experiencing a extrange things with my phone. I try to be clear and precise.
First of all, I have the 64 GB 1+1 with Latest BlissPop + AK Kernel + Xposed + Greenify + Amplify.
Now the issues that I´m suffering:
-I think that I have a extrange battery drain
-When I plug the phone while it´s ON for charging it, the phone it stucks at 97% or 99%, it depends on the day.
-When I plug the phone while it´s ON for charging it randomly stop and start charging, so annoying :S
-If I plug the phone while it´s OFF, I don´t see any kind of problem in the charge or at least I don´t see anything extrange
-I think that I have a huge battery drain with average use
-The screen of my phone turns ON constantly while the phone is on my desktop without any kind of notification being displayed
I don´t know how to provide logs for that issues if you can tell me I provide all that you need. Also I was thinking if that kind of issues can be related and solved flashing all again (ROM, Kernel etc)
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your fast answer, you always help me!!!
Answering your questions, yes I always use the original usb cable and charger and I have Ambient Display disabled now, the screen now is normal, no more random wake ups.
I test the rest of my issues today and post my results.
Kind regards

Hello again Heisenberg,
With ambient display off, seems like a lot of my problems are gone, the only issue that it´s still with me is that when I plug the phone while it´s ON for charging it randomly stop and start charging, if I turn the phone off, all it´s ok and the phone reach the 100% without any kind of problem.
Kind regards.

Plug your phone to the charger and leave it for a while. Press the power button,in the lock screen what does it show ? Charging or "x" minutes to charge the battery full (where x is the time, say 25 minutes, 1hr etc)
As I've noticed when "x" minutes to charge battery full appears in lock screen the device tends to charge slowly( it'll take about 15-20 to get 1%) so I remove my charger and then plug it again then It starts charging normally..
Try and see [emoji4]
