[Q] help with htdc desire 500 battery drain - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys, i have reacently bought new htc desire 500, and i recently noticed (at the nex day) that when i pull my phone from charging (green light indicates that its fully charged) the phone imediately goes from 100% to 99%, and in two hours goes to 80 even if i do nothing... This morning i just read some newsfeed over wifi... In 20mins it wen off to 94%. The phone is brand new, not rooted stock firmware. I have sent it to repair center they just changed the charger. And the same issue persists. I have tried to calibrate the battery, tried and charging in other ways... But its just the same. My old htc rhyme stayed at 100% for hours if i didnt use it. And after university time (6h a day) it just depleated (with games and etc) to 60. But i had plenty of time to go to internet and chat whole day with couple of quite long calls. Sorry ofcourse for crapy language, hope there is some sort of repairs, caus i dont want to give my phone again for two weeks again...

think i found what happened
ok guys and again me i have gotten home from university now, and putted phone to charge. it was showing me that it has began to charge from 7% and ok, then i just pulled out the charger pulled out battery (charger cable is in phone) then i putted charger back and then battery, and pressed one time the on/off (1sec) then phone turned on (not completely) and showed me that battery is charging, from 73%. (the turning on, the phone wast not complete, it started to show only battery that shes charging) so i think there is some problem with calibration of battery, so we need to do is give it a quite good kick, with charger and non official charging mods. (pulling out battery while it charges and etc...)

Phone thinks no battery are charged

Hey everyone, On my rogers optimus 3d I've installed a couple of weeks ago korean ICS to my phone with TWRP no problem except some stability and things like this.
I then recently received 2 backup batteries to get the phone past a day without charging it and everything is working fine.
My problem is that now the phone seems to think every of my 3 batteries (even the original one) can't get past 1% of charge even after a full night of charge.
I've tried also on my external charger that came with the batteries, they get a red light saying it's charging for about a couple of minutes then turns blue to say it's fully charged (a perfectly normal behaviour for these charger on a healty battery that's almost fully charged). Even after the external charger saying the battery is full, phone keeps recognising it as a 1% battery.
I've tried the app called Battery Calibration Free and it did pretty much nothing to help.
Also tought about wiping battery stats, but this option seems to be absent from TWRP.
I also did my homeworks and found this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511039&page=4 with ppl getting almost the same problem as I did but on gingerbread
Anyone any idea because i'm starting to get mad because the phone can't even handle 10minutes with it's 3 batteries...

[Q] Charging and battery indicator

Hi everyone
My problem is.. my DS started to charge slowly.
Now it doesn't really charge slowly, If I check the voltage, I will get like 4220mv but as soon as it reaches that, the charging graph just goes flat.
If say I have charged it to 70% and it started going slow. i switch it off, place on the charger, and the lamp goes green. I turn it on, and it is showing 100%.
I have tried calibrations, diffirent kernels, wiping, factory resets e.t.c.
Another thing is that if I will run a v6 battery calibrator,it will show that actually I should have a 100% charge although a phone is showing only 70%.
So the summary: Phone charges normally when off (when recovery monitors charging), showing the correct voltage when on... But showing the wrong percentage if on charge.
Also sometimes if the battery is like 14% left. And I turn the phone off and then on again, it will show 22% bearing the same voltage as when it was 14%.
Question: Is there any way to tweak the battery indicator so it would show % values same as the v6 calibrator does it or is it a hardware fault, if yes, which part of it ?
This happens to me on my older (original) battery, but not my new one. I bought the second battery when this problem started happening. So, I think it's just a symptom of an old battery.
By the way, if you leave it on charge long enough, it will eventually jump up to 100%.
Other than this weird behaviour, it has no real impact on anything.

Thought so, mines been acting similarly lately, but strangely enough it seems to be getting better
I think I found out..
I actually purchased a new battery recently, because my old one was jumping like crazy and started discharging in a few hours..
This new battery I bought from a mobile repair shop.
It is a cheap chinese battery with no name, anyhow I just took it out to take a look at it...
And guess what, it sais 1200mah..
Can the phone be confused because of that ?

[Q] Is it my battery problem or ....?

Hello guys...
Its been a month since I rooted my Explorer, everything was fine.
I am very caring for my small pico, I charge it by switching it off, never unplug the charger untill it is fully charged, I am using using it for an year and it has never been dropped from my hand. I do respect my things, my Nokia 6600 is still 'new' and I have been using it since December 2004.
My pico stands on battery for nearly 3 days with average usage (reading ebooks, music, some internet, calls and messages).
And for 4-5 days without internet connectivity.
Date: 1-May-2013, 1700hrs.
My battery was down, I switched my mobile off, plugged it to the Original AC charger which I got from the Explorer box and waited, It takes 2.5 to 3 hrs for full charge, I unplugged it from the charger, switched it ON and kept it aside.
After nearly an hour, I took up my mobile and shocked, battery indicator was not fully Green (i.e. first unit of battery indicator was finished).
I then opened an app called 'Android Task Manager Pro' and it was showing 'Battery : 76 %'.
I cannot understand the cause, I haven't installed any new app or so.
Without any time, I just switched it OFF, took out my SIM, reinserted the battery, switched it ON, switched it OFF and kept it in Cupboard for 2 days.
Date: 3-May-2013, 1930hrs.
Took out my mobile from Cupboard, switched it ON, only 2% of the battery was remaining.
Plugged it to the charger, and after just 20 minutes I unplugged it from the charger (it was the first time I have unplugged it without fully charging)
Saw the battery %, it was 23%.
I then switched it OFF, took out my battery, and put it into my Sister's htc Explorer.
In her mobile, the battery shown : 46 % and it was draining rapidly, 33% in 5min standby.
I took out my battery and gave it to my neighbour to keep it refrigerated for the night (I usually refrigerate my Nokia 6600's battery, as it was good practise to do so for Li Ion batteries, my Nokia 6600 is still performing with the preloaded battery from 2004).
Date: 4-May-2013, 0730hrs,
I took my battery (very cool), kept it in middle of paper rack to de-moisturize it, after 5 minutes, kept it in open atmosphere for a minute.
Took the battery, noticed it finely and found a RED mark on it.
Is my battery dead??, if yes then cannot believe it, it was doing well, it has not become fat.
Please, help me friends is there any way to cure it back???
Please, if cannot be cured, please provide link for buying a nice battery [LAST PRIORITY].
i think your device pin which is connected through battery is getting some thing wrong..and thats why your killing itself very faster....take off battery from device...then you have to change or solder from device circuit..it will surely solve the problem...

Here is the snap of my battery
This red thingy I believe is moisture 'sensor' which is normal to be red, your battery was in the fridge. You can give it a try now, if it has no moisture in it, but I'd wait for couple of more days. Also you should know, this is low end phone and it's battery is not as good as old nokia, maybe some ice was inside, this should kill it.
Now I have a suggestion, try with battery from another explorer(as you have one close) and check out, how this other battery is doing on your phone, if it's also bad........ new battery won't change things, also this may indicate some software issue, check thing out with better battery stats, or with GSam battery monitor, if there is nothing wrong with software, you can try charging the phone from usb, maybe your charger is fu&*ed up.

Recover a dead battery - Solved

Hi there
I just want to share with you how I fixed my battery. The problem I had was that my HTC Desire HD did not recharged the battery. Every time I plugged the charger, the smartphone flickered orange, green, orange, green, orange, green and then stopped charging.
What a I did was to place the battery into the freezer for 3 days. Then took it out and waited until its temperature came to normal.
When I tryed to charge it again, the Desire HD flickerd again the same combination but after 5 seconds it started to charge regulary
may it a good trial ?
but i wonder that does your battery work normal after you charged it ?and how does it performance
I have one battery just bought and used for 3 months but I forgot and put it in over discharge then its capacity drop from 1000mAh to just only 500mAh. I just though some of its's cell became death
Well, after 24 hours since I unplugged the charger it still keeps 29% of battery.
Of these 24 hours, the phone keep flight mode 8 hours (I always use when I go to bed), and the other 16 it has been working with Wifi always on, 2G and sync on.
I am not a very intensive user as you can guess, but for me, it is more than enough after thinking that battery was dead. Anyway, I already order a genuine replacement battery at eBay (I didn't think freezing the battery could recover it) so I just will keep the old one until I get the new one

Wow, never heard of this option to revive a battery.But good to know and I maybee will need it one day, so thanks ;D
Good tip for when you're stuck without a phone! Sometimes also works on chargers that die (put in a bag, freeze for 20 minutes, try again), and hard drives (got a 15 year old HDD working long enough to get some data off it).
PS, keep the HDD in the bag once out of the freezer, condensation forms on the bag and not the HDD.

galaxy j7 battery problem

i think my phone has some serious problems and i'm wondering if it's the battery dying or a short circuit
when i plug it on a charger while of it shows a normal charging image but how it switches from one animation to the other so i can see the status of battery percent it's like a short on the screen happened
it chargers to 100 but when i switch it on it shows mybe 95 but never 100 and if i connect it to a charger to get to 100 it only decreases
it gets warm now days which did not happen and it like drains 50% overnight which is obviously not normal. these two days the battery life is like 4 hours with internet wich with j7's battery it should not happen. if i switch it off and then on again i loose like 20% of battery and if that is all i had i get 0% and the phone doesnt switch on. the phone never had contact with water . it's been 4 days since this started and it happened all of sudden like today my phone stays up to two days at most and i just woke up it barely finishes a day without data and with power saving mode
i'm sure it's not about background apps or any activities because i hard reset it already and i don't have any app. and it's not about wifi or sync or poor network i tried all that. i did everything it didnt help. i could buy a new battery but i'm scared it might be a short because i don't think a battery can just die in one night like this.
can anyone help me with this or it's nothing serious and i have to change the battery
