long charging time - HTC Sensation

Hi, i know this subject is already exists in here, but it still have no answer. My sensation need 6 - 8 hours to fully charge from 10% to 100%, is there someone can help me to solved my problem?
This happen everyday, so don't ask me to remove the battery and try again because i've tried it.

Are you charging your mobile via a charger connected to a power outlet or are you charging via usb connected to a pc? How old is your battery?

it is a common HTC's issue after rooting the device
everyone has percentage mireadings while charging the device

Has it always been like that or started happening? When mine started doing that I replaced my battery, charging times went back to normal and battery life was a lot better also.

It happens to me with my original battery which I think is dead because it lasts not much time. Buy on my anker battery it charges really fast, with the same charger. So the problem is your battery I think, as on mine

What rom are you using. Sometimes my sense 5 rom misreads ac for usb and charges damn slowly.
Happy to help.

If your charging via usb connected to pc then charging will be half day, its because usb port is for data sending and not charging, so USB outputs very low volt charge and so device like phone charges so slow
If your charging with adapter into AC outlet, you could check if your using right cable(there are data cables where there are little wires inside so again it cannot output that power to the device and there is cables for data+charge with bigger cables inside)
P.S. Stock HTC cable provided is not the best wire....
Mine sensation is charging about 2h40min from discharge(10% - 6%) to full charge(100%)

It's already happened for along time.
When first purchase it is not like that.
I've replace the battery, but not with original one nor anker, and the charging time become faster about 1 hour than before

[Q] Phone plugged in indicated charging but battery level keep decreasing. Help!

I installed CM 7.1 a few days ago and since then my phone has problem charging using the usb cable. When charging thru usb to pc or usb to wall charger, it indicated charging but battery kept draining slowly.
Then I tried a few other roms, including insertcoin 4.4.4, 4.4.6 and ARHD 6.2.1 and the problem persist, even with brightness at ~30%, wifi off. I checked the running apps and it has only a few apps running.
Does any one have the same problem? Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
Edited:
Forgot to mention, when the phone was charging, sometime i would get message "Unable to charge, phone is using more current than the USB cable can deliver. Please turn off phone and close unused apps." when i wasn't using the phone at all.

Do you have another usb cable to try?
If that doesn't work you need to make sure you have the most recent CWR installed, I think the recent one is blue in text. Just go to the Rom Manager app and see if you have the most current recovery flashed onto your phone.
I had this same problem on my old desire with cheap cables bought off ebay. Bought some genuine HTC ones and solved the problem straight away.

My cable is the original HTC cable and I tried another cable from Nokia. Same problem. I have a stock 1520 battery and a 1800 cheap battery i bought from ebay. I think my recovery is the most current one, which is 4EX touch.
Is my battery just bad? I realized sometimes it charged up 1~2 % and then started draining.
Overheating
Hi,
I had a similar problem, the phone was plugged but not charging. It was because of a overheating of the battery. In the battery info page, instead of charging it said overheating. I unplugged it, let it cool down, plugged it again and it was charging.
my battery status never said overheating. it indicates charging but the battery level drops. I also realize sometimes the battery level stayed the same for quite a long while but sometimes it drops pretty rapidly. has my battery gone bad or just the rom? any one got an idea?
okay, now i am using Battery Monitor Widget and found that either charging through PC usb or wall charger, the maximum charging current is about 120 mAh. As far as i know, wall charger should be charging at 1000 mAh and pc at 500 mAh.
Can someone tell me what's wrong? and how i can fix it?
Thanks!

You've tried a different cable, so try another charger. If this doesn't fix it then you should try flashing firmware and ROM back to stock and see if the problem persists, if it does then it is probably a hardware fault.
battery level weirdness sensation xe stock ics
I have an issue where the indicated battery level keeps dropping even when the phone is on charge with the original HTC wall charger. I have also tried another wall charger- same outcome. Also getting the message that current draw exceeds charging current. Once or twice phone has shut down due to low battery. But here's the weirdness....I take the battery out, put it back in and 'hey presto' the battery level is fine. It seems the phone only 'thinks' the battery is not charing, but it is. Any ideas as to a solution would be appreciated.
I also have the same problem with HTC Incredible S fake charging pls help thx
unlock4life

battery keeps draining even if it's on the charger

Hi, I have a little problem with my HTC One X.
Sometimes when i charge my phone, the battery level keeps dropping instead of increasing.
I had this with other versions of sense, and andriod too.
I also tried to plug the charger is a diffrent outlet, but that didnt work. And it also happend with other chargers.
Thanks in advance!
android version: 4.2.2
Sense version: 5.0
I too had similar problem with the stock 1amp charger also charging time 20%->100% used to be 4+ hours. but with a Samsung 0.7 amp charger, phone charges even if I'm using it also the charging time dropped to 3hrs.

I'm currently using a 1.0a samsung charger. I thought it came with the galaxy3. That could be the problem?
That might be the problem, don't you have the HTC charger?

I did, but i had the same problem, maby their was something wrong with the charger, ill check this out. It does change correctly with the USB in the pc.
Process of elimination would suggest the charger is the problem then.

If the phone is charging faster via USB than on the wall charger, than the charger is definitely broken. USB is usually much slower than the wall charger.

[Q] Phone charging extremely slow...

Hello!
Recently, my phone has been charging very slowly. When I first got my phone, it went from zero to 100% in ~2.5 hours, but now it takes about 5 hours to fully charge. I am currently using the stock charger and USB cable that came with the phone, and I have tried other cables and chargers to ensure that it wasn't my charger's fault (or my USB cable). I also tried flashing the stock rom and kernel, but the problem was persistent. Could it be a defective battery that is causing this problem?
My current settings:
Mahdi Rom 4.4.3 6/12
Stock kernel settings (no UV, OC)
No partial wakelock problem
Thanks!

Take a look at the charging levels.. While charging via a wall charger it should be between 800-1050 mA.. If it's below that, it's most probably a low standard usb cable or a charger.. Try changing the cable first and check the current.
I'm getting around 600mA so that's not good.. I'll try another charger and see what goes. Thanks!

FYI, I am currently using the stock charger and cable that came with the phone and still getting low mA. I just tried different cables and chargers and the result comes out the same. What else can I do?

Aah.. That's not good. In the OP I see that you have already tried going back to stock and checking the results?
May be you could try a different wall socket in your home? You could also try charging via a computer and see whether it's getting charged properly? (Fast charge needs to be enabled for this)

i charge slow on the stock charger/cable as well. i ended up buying a 5amp charger with two usb holes and a better usb cable, now i charge from 0 to 100 in about an hour and a half.
Thanks for your help, guys! Turns out most of the cables I own are faulty/below standard. I found a cable later that charged my phone at around 800mA. I guess I'll do some cable shopping later

Could it be something to do with custom ROM settings? Stock charger and cable should be able to pull 800-1000mA from a power outlet, I can't understand why some devices wouldn't be able to do so.

No. The only thing that would influence charge speeds is USB fast charge (charges faster on USB, AC still the same) and that's a kernel level feature.

Something that was overlooked was temperature. IIRC at higher temperatures the phone either stops charging or slows down charging in order to keep the heat down. This was done to preserve the life of the battery as charging batteries while they're hot could degrade the battery.

no. ive found in the past(with the n4), the default cable/charger also went bad quick, ended up using a nexus 7 charger/cable on it.

Galaxy S6 slow charging issue

Hi,
couple of weeks ago, my phone starts charging slowly. Whenever I use any other charger, than original, its charges only with arround 400-700mAh - thats only 1/3 of the charging speed. The non original chargers have 2A output: Samsung car charger, ASUS tablet charger, ADATA powerbank. I tried different cables, restared the phone, charging while phone was off, cleaning the phone conector with contact spray.
The battery consumption is normal, arround 50mAh. The fast charging with original charger works OK. All the chargers, I mentoined, worked perfectly just month ago. Unfortunately, I do not have the options test the chargers on other phones, because all other are just slow chargers (1A)...
Any idea, why this is happening?
partialy solved
I perform some tasks, and it seems, that it helps:
I did: wipe system cache. This increases the charging speed from 1/4 to 3/4 (400mAh -> 1300mAh) from the powerbank. The charging speed from car charger didnt changes
Then I did factory reset of the phone and it seems, that this helps.
The charging speed is very depending on the proper usb cable used. One cable works fino on one charger, but performs bad on another...

all USB Cables have different amperes, some have 2A some have 2.1A, furthermore, it also depends on the power source, the car's charger couldn't be as strong as the wall socket i think.
Anyways, on a side note, i suggest you try Aukey quick charge 2.0 powerbank. fast charges your S6.

I am wondering if this may be related to an update? Both me and the wife started experiencing this same problem, at the same time (different chargers). A few nights ago our chargers were working fine then the next night after 12 hours of charging battery is only around 80%
I did a factory reset on mine on Sunday for other reasons but this has made no difference to the charging issue

I tried this app as you suggest and to be honest my battery is worse rather than better. From fully charged, my battery has dropped by 20% in less than 2 hours pretty much being on standby. See screenshots below.

It's weird, anyway download the latest stock firmware for your device model and flash it using Odin. Wipe everything from Recovery Mode before and after flashing.
What difference would flashing stock firmware make? My phone is up to date and I did a factory reset on Sunday

I have the same situation, my s6is chargind just at 400mA speed, and my pc is showing USB not recognized (windows 10), thought it could be a usb charging board just pluged in new one, nothing changed... the same problem. there is somthing more, likely usb chip on motherboard or maybe battery... or some kind of problems

my culprit was the provided samsung cable. if you're in the UK the "betron" reinforced cables from Amazon sorted my problem... cheap and comes with warranty. Mine is still going strong and no problems here

For my case, it happened after my phone is updated. I brought my phone to a service center unfortunately it's already out of warranty. They are asking around $90 to have my phone fixed. According to them, they need to replace the battery and the sub board.
Im really dumbfounded how this happened.
I have the same problem with my s6 I have replaced the charger port and still won't connect to the pc or fast charge

Strange problem with battery/charging

Hope someone on here can help, I've had my HTC U11 for about a week no and it was working perfectly fine and i was getting roughly 1.5 day of battery life out of it starting yesterday however it barely lasts 10 hours and the battery is draining really fast. Also the charger that came with it no longer seems to charge it as it Ampere only shows about 20mA as soon as the quick charger connected notification pops up however if i plug any other device into the charger the charger seems to charge it fine also the phone will get charged if i use any other charger and Ampere will show a reading of whatever that charger is currently charging at i have factory reset the phone updated to 1.27 but I cannot figure out what the problem is any help will be much appreciated.

I have the same problem too. How do you solve this problem? So you buy another Quick Charger 3.0 adapter or wire?

Guys, try to clean you type c port on u11 and on usb cable
Same symptoms with mine... It's a hardware problem ! I sent back my U11 to HTC and they changed the USB Port and the cable to resolve the problem.
