I know there is a bug in which after an overnight charge, the unit is unresponsive unitl you soft reset it. I've read the thread. My TP exhibits this problem as well. However, mine seems to have an additional problem not mentioned in that thread. After charging overnight, my TP IS NOT CHARGED! After an overnight charge, the battery is nearly dead and a soft reset does not fix that. It has happened several times now. After plugging it into the charger before bed, I confirm that the charge light is on and that it shows charging on the status screen, however, THE BATTERY IS NOT CHARGING. Has anyone else experienced this quirk? It doesn't always do this, however, so I'm very confused about what is happening.
Dumb question - but are you using the factory charger? I had a problem when I purchased my Touch Pro in the fact that I used another charger which also was USB for another phone, but for some reason had that problem. Using the charger supplied with the phone fixed it.

Yup. Factory charger and cable. Not a dumb question, BTW. That could have very well been the problem although any USB charger should work.
What about if you turn the phone off and charge?
On a related issue, I used TomTom the other day for a 1 hour trip with the phone on a USB lighter socket charger. Started with 48% full battery, when I finished the battery was down to 30%!!! Basically the phone uses more power than the USB can provide when the screen+GPS is on!! I also find plugging the phone into the charger with the screen on & WiFi on will mean the phone charges at a speed of 1% every 8 minutes - taking all day to charge from empty!
To ease the problems I purchased a separate phone+battery cradle off eBay and a spare battery. I swap to the charged battery every morning and put the other one in to charge. The used battery is usually at 25% after a good days use. Before I did this and charged using the USB plug I used to get 6 hours use before needing to re-charge.
Disconnect the cable from the factory charger and plug in in your PC, see if it charges there. If it does, then you can return your charger, if it doesn't then i'd return my TP.
I have had the Touch Pro for eleven days(got in October 31,2008) and I have issues with the phone. First, I love this phone, however, the battery will not hold a charge. I started with a fully charged battery, used sprint navigation to direct me on a 2 hour trip. My phone was dead by the time I got to my destination. The phone was extremely hot, I mean extremely hot during the entire trip. The next day I took the phone into the sprint store and they switched the battery and told me that the phone check out okay. for the next several days, i used the phone sparingly to see if the battery was okay. I made about 7 calls and 12 text messages, my battery was down 3 bars after being fully charged. I tried the navigation within the city limits and the phone again stared to get hot. My sprint picturemail would not work, it takes hours to send a picturemail. I call customer care and talked with technical support, who did not have a clue about the phone, they had me on hold, researchec, told me to do a few things and then had me to perform a hard reset. The picturemail worked for a few messages and then it started to take hours to send a picturemail. i then went into a sprint store for ready now service to see if there was something I was doing that was causing the battery loss, etc. The CSR in the store did not have a clue about the phone. He went through the computer told me a few things to do and that was it. My battery continued to perform poorly, so I again called customer care and was told afte a serious of conversations and procedures that i need to have the phone replace and that my phone could be defective. They told me to go in to a store and have them make the switch. Well, there are no phones in any of the stores in my area. I call customer care again and asked them to look at the notes on my account and send me a replacement phone, because there are none available in the stores. That was a horror story and i currently have an expensive phone that i have to keep on the charger. i actually purchased a universal charger from sprint that can be used in your car and/or in a wall socket to make certain I don't lose my charge. I think the phone is over priced for how it is operating for me. Sprint should provide an additional battery for the touch pro like they do for the Instinct. The should also include the universal charger in the box. The phone cost to much to not operate better. The sprint picture mail sucks, The sprint TV sucks, but the phone is really nice, if sprint can correct the issues mentioned.
I don't charge it at night cuz i don't like to "overcharge", so i usually charge it when i get home b4 I sleep. I have been considering getting an additional battery with a dedicated battery charger from HTC though. ever gave that a thought?
I seem to be having this same issue with my Fuze that I just got yesterday. After a full night on charger it's at 82%. I'm going to try it over usb on pc to see if it gets any higher otherwise I'll be taking it back to the store today.
The HTC touch pro (with factory ROM) is protected from overloading. Which means that overnight it will load for about 3 hours from an empty battery and then it is full (white light will go from sliding to full circle). After that the charging stops. Which means that if you sleep for 8 hours, the remaining 5 hours your phone will be using the battery.
Now the question remains, what is drianing your battery in 5 hours? The initial suspects are GPS (any GPS software should be cleared from memory, press the most right corner icon to see what's running), the wifi or the HSPA / 3G connection. Use comm manager to put those off.
Of course, the second option is that the charging is not happening because of a defect, in that case return it to the shop.
Pretty sure this is a common problem, I don't think returning the phone will solve a thing.
My phone does the same. Though if you charge it with the phone turned off, it charges fine. I purchased a separate charger and spare battery and just swap them over when I need to (1.5 days with moderate usage).
Pretty sure this is all down to the phone using more power than it should be, hopefully future rom updates will fix this. Even when using Tomtom in the car with the phone charging on a USB cigarette charge cable can't charge it - it actually has less charge at the end of a long journey.
Oh and I can also mention that I have the original HTC battery and two spare batteries (which look like copies with, the HTC sticker is there but not quite the same). The spare batteries act just the same as the original HTC battery.
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...
Hello all,
Ive changed the battery in phones labratory.
The new battery is original lg oem anf seemed
Perfectly fine.
Since I changed it,
The battery precentage is stuck on 17℅
I see the lighning bolt as if though its charging
But the battery precentage doesent change.
When I enter the battery it says not charging.
Do I need to calibrate or the battery is bad?
Please advise.
Thanks
Does the same thing happen when you put back your old battery? If it does, it could be a motherboard connection problem.
I've changed the battery in a few Nexus 5 phones using 3rd party batteries from Aliexpress and I never experienced a situation similar to yours. When I replaced the battery, I put the phone on a wired charger while powered off. I waited until the battery was fully charged booted the phone, and everything seemed fine. It's better months since I changed these batteries and they all seem to be working with a wired and wireless charger.
Hi All
The battery died on my S6 tonight with the indicator showing 13% (unlucky I know!). I plugged the phone into my wall fast charger and went for a bath. When I came back down 30 mins later I picked up the phone and it was showing 0% but in the notification area it had recognised the fast charger and said 1 hour 20 mins to full.
I changed the USB lead from the charger to the phone and initially it charged up to 30% in around 15 mins and then immediately dropped back down to 0%.
I have again changed the USB lead and it seems to be charging again it has made it up to 42% this time without dropping so I'm hoping it fully charges.
Does anyone have any advice or has anyone had a similar issue?
After this I will NEVER buy Samsung again I've had nothing but trouble with this model I really don't think its fit for purpose.
It is sold as a multi media device but if you try to use it as one you need to carry external battery packs. When I took it back to Samsung they said its a "screen on issue" and the screen on time is no more than 3 hours.

It now appears to be stuck on 42 %

I've had similar issues like this but I am rooted. It involved me doing a clean install of my preferred rom. If you are stock then try the following 1. Factory reset 2. Flash a firmware via odin. If you still have issues then try a new usb cable and charger. This issue has only ever happened to me once since I've had this phone last September.
I changed the battery buying a new one on amazon, the problem was that when the phone was at low % it shut off sometimes at 20% sometimes at 40%. Ater changing battery i noticed that the problem disappeared for a week, but then reappeared, so i changed the charger and tested different cables but both charging and discharging are irregular, it charges to 100 in 10 minutes. So i ordered a new charging board on amazon, i changed it but the problem persists. Im desperate, i dont know what to do, sorry for my english. I thank anyone in advance who wants to help me.:crying:
could always try recalibrate your battery

I think you should change your phone's battery mate. I changed mine last week and it's as good as new now. Charges and discharges exactly how it's supposed to. My battery had similar issues before I changed it.
TRY CALIBRATION ?
1.Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2.Turn it on and let it turn off again.
3.Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4.Unplug your charger.
5.Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on the screen as well.
6.Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
7.You want to repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
8.Now, install the Battery Calibration app, and before you launch it, make sure your battery is at 100 percent again, then restart.

He said he just put in anofher battery he bought on Amazon. I'm wondering at what point you stop buying parts for what is becoming an unsupported phone and just get another phone.
