[Q] Long battery charging. 6-10hours

hi.
my sensation takes 6-12 hours to charge completely..
I tried a different charger(pantech\ nokia\ motorola) and another battery.
Tried charging on original ROM, made wipe battery status in recovery
but nothing has changed
who knows more possible actions?

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

I replaced the battery with a new one. nothing has changed.

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
2)yes, i replace with a new official htc battery.

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,

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

Can I power on my phone without battery when it is conected to charger?

I am absolutely 100% certain that this is not what fixed your issue, even if you did this right at the same time the issue disappeared. Something else happened, whether you realize it or not. Guaranteed.

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.

[Q] CM 10.2 D2ATT problem please help

Cannot post in appropriate category yet so I have to post here and hope someone can help. I clean flashed this rom the other day (did everything properly), and the issue I keep having is that now my battery won't charge, and battery drain is horrendous (about 3 hours from 100 to 0). If my phone is off and plugged in, charging does not occur after 5%. After my phone dies it is almost impossible to get it charged to 100% again. Even plugged in it stays alive at 0% and does not charge. I have rebooted the phone on and off the charger (which was suggested in the forum) and that did not help. I really like this rom other than that, and even if I wanted to flash a different one I can't with 0-5% battery left. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

RE:
Did you try replacing the battery with either OEM replacement or aftermarket equivalent? It's possible the battery may be bad, yes it happens.

Yes I did. I Used my GF's battery (also gs3) to see if it would charge as well. It did not. It has something to do with this rom. My phone has been dead for 2 days now and will not charge. Anyone have any other suggestions?

To be more specific: Several people on this rom have noticed that if you reboot on the charger it causes a wakelock that does not go away. It is then suggested to reboot off the charger and that will make the wakelock go away. It seems like regardless of what I do, the wakelock will not go away.

That's very strange have you tried to Odin back to stock and start from scratch by keeping the phone charging via USB.
I did some checking around and I personally haven't found another solution to this.

[Q] battery issue. geting wrong values

both my sensation xe have the same problem.
I'm geting wrong battery levels and its driving me mad. tried six difrent batterys two original and fore anker. same problem on them all so ota not the batterys. tryed several chargers and difrent roms same problem on them all.
I can charge the phone over night and it displays a random value. if I reboot I get the right one. somtimes it show 100% when its more like 10%
its mostly anoying when the phone suddenly shuts down cuz it thinks its out of power.
sometimes it drops to 0% then 2seconds later it display 100%
anyone got any idea on a fix?
charging the phone never increase the value displayed . it seems to work if I charge the phone while switched off. this is alsow a disaster for my batterys health cuz the keap geting over charged

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 )

Phone won't recognise charger

This is a strange one. When I connect USB to my computer the device shows up, I also get the option for USB tethering on the phone... however it does not indicate that it is charging. The charger works in other phones and I've even tried using a proper charger (i.e. not a usb cable).
Now the thing is, I'm not sure if it's not charging. When I turn the phone on I have 11% battery and get a notification about it and told to plug in a charger, and when I plug it in the message does not come back - although the battery % stays on 11.

Are the Motorola USB drivers installed?

They are installed on my PC yes, although I don't see what that has to do with it?

I'm asking the stupid questions first, lol...
Which USB ports are you using, try connecting to a port on the motherboard (proper +5V) if not?

I have the same problem with a nokia lumia 920 charger, the charger works in others phones and some time before works in my phone too

Like I said, I've tried using a direct mains charger too. The USB connection from phone to computer is fine as I can transfer files etc. It just won't charge regardless of what cable I use.
That said though, the battery has been on 11% for a long time. Makes me think that it has actually been charging (or else it would have decreased/died) and it's just the reading that is stuck? I've tried switching to icon mode then % but it's still on 11. Is there a way to recalibrate it? The phone is barely a month old so it's surely not a hardware issue.

When I got mine the battery hung on 31% for ages then dropped to 0% and rebooted. Since then I cycled it through a few times without connecting the charger until it was flat and then charged it to max and left it for a few hours at least. It came good after that and I've had no problems. According to Motorola to recalibrate the battery state it should be left for charge once fully charged for a few hours extra.
I've had mine for a few weeks.

It doesn't seem to change either side of 11% whether I charge it or not. I guess I'll just have to plug it in for a few hours and assume it's fully charged?

It took me ~4 and 1/2 hours to charge it fully using the 500mAh Moto charger from 0%, but I did it the other way around--I used it till it was flat first.

It actually says charging now, but it continues to say that even when I remove the charger.
Also my battery has finally dropped from 11% to 10%, that is after around 7 hours use...

That's very peculiar... It might indicate something wrong at the firmware level. You are running the standard ROM, are you?
I'd advise to jump some factory resets / firmware (re)install hoops.

I'm running Beanstalk ROM but the creator is already getting very cranky with me for suggesting it might be a bug in that

Unless you can reproduce the behaviour with the stock firmware, Beanstalk is the prime suspect.
But it could be a file/driver corruption, hence the suggestion to reinstall.

Same problem with XT1033 on Stock 4.4 ROM
on stock 4.4 ROM same problem i am facing, even after 1-2 hours charging its showing same % of battery.
but after a restart its coming to normal condition & shows charging icon.

I charged my phone last night (still on 10%), brought it out with me and during use it cut out and would not turn on. I kept trying to turn on by either pressing power on or pressing power & vol down. A couple of times I got to the bootloader but that was it. When I got home I plugged it into a charger and it came up with a white screen with an empty battery graphic.
Now my phone will not turn on no matter what I do, even when plugged in.

[Q] Battery Won't Charge Beyond 76%

Hey guys, I've got a bit of an issue with charging. I'm running Cataclysm ROM with FK r35 kernel with minor downgrading setups that worked perfectly well for me. So yesterday I left my phone on charge over night and woke up to find the charge stuck at 74~76percent and phone was at room temperature. Charger was plugged and in the About section it says AC charging. So I figured maybe its the kernel so I switched it off and kept it charging, but its still stops going above. When using the phone the battery charge reduces normally. Any suggestions? I thought maybe the battery's internal cycle is not in sync but there's no option to reset it.
Edit: atm I'm trying to completely drain the battery and let it charge again. Hope that will solve it.

Try a battery calibration app.

yeah, let it drain down the power it off and back on.
when you say you switched off the kernel, i'm assuming you mean you either flashed the stock kernel back or dirty flashed the rom.

i would do this as well. let it drain far enough to where android shuts it off, and then boot the device up into bootloader and/or recovery. keep it on here until the device truly hits 0%(android shuts it down at 1% i believe). then plug it in and let it charge up completely

Sorry I wrote it wrong. I meant I switched off the phone and tried charging it. ATM ive turned it on and its been charging for the past 1.5hours and its still on 16percent. Its charging extremely slow and in System Monitor app it shows that charging will complete in 3hrs39min...btw I'm using the stock charger and cable that came with it.
