Is anyone else experiencing a problem with battery charging on JF's ADP 1.5 release?
I've got this issue where I plug my phone in to the wall charger at night and it's on a cheap lamp timer so that it doesn't start to charge until 1.25 hours before I leave for work to prevent overcharging. Since I updated to 1.5 it seems that when the phone is On and starts the wall charge it treats it like a trickle charge as if it were connected via USB to a computer. Only after I turn the phone off does it rapidly charge like it should via the wall charger. Its a little annoying since the first day after the 1.5 update I didn't notice it and went in to work with a half charged battery. Now I know to look out for it and go turn the phone off when I wake up and by the time I'm ready to leave for work it's fully charged.

Wait, so does G1 have overcharge protection or doesn't it??
I didn't think it was necessary to protect from overcharging either.
I don't see this problem with my JF1.5 though - I plug it in at night and it charges full for when I wake up the next morning.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it should as that is very simple technology and is standard in many cheap devices now, so my guess is it would be in g1 or there would be a heck of alot more problems.........
on another note....ive noticed with JF 1.5 my battery icon gets a little stuck.....i thought it was an improvement of battery life until yesterday it stayed at 100% for like 5 hours but then dropped to 80% out of no where when i installed an app.......is anyone else having this issue??
I use battery graph from the market to see my battery charge over time. That's how I know that it "trickle" charges for me when connected to the wall charger until I turn the phone off.
BTW, when I turn the phone off then back on after waking up it does rapidly charge properly as well. Seems like it just needs a reboot for it to work right.
...and I'm sure that the G1 does have built-in overcharge protection, I just don't really trust it to do as good of a job as my cheap lamp timer does
Turn off your phone, remove you batter, put it back in, and turn your phone on. Everything should reset and be back to normal.
will try tonight.
no problem the power indicator or measurer is just more accurate in the 1.5 builds
i agree, used to fully charge in about an hour and a half, now its been takeing about 4 hours to hit 100% from about 1/2 charge...
ive noticed the same thing.
My phone charges fine with both my regular G1 battery and my Seidio Extended 2600mAh battery since my upgrade to JF ADP V1.50.
mine is on the trickle charge bug as well. phone stays cold throughout the 2 hours i've had it plugged in and its only at 68% charge. Brought it down to around 30% charge when I plugged it in to the wall.
My phone had the same problem when i updated to any of the 1.5 builds w/ radio. today, i drained the battery all the way until the phone died and took the battery out for about a min. Put it back in and started charging. My phone went back to charging normally up to 100% within ~2.5hrs. I've still yet to see how long this full battery will last until later today. Normally, i would get up to 2 days easy w/out charging on normal usage (a text or 5 min phone call here and there), 2G only, wifi disabled, bluetooth disabled. I'll let you guys know how it goes later.
This problem happens when the G1 is offline (airplane mode). When its online there is no problem with charging
mine has been acting weird since going to jf 1.5
last night i plugged it in at like 33% charged, and like 3 hours later it was at like 65%
i unplugged it, turned it off. turned it back on and when i plugged it in it was 100%.
before i charged it (when it was at 33%) i yanked the battery for a few seconds then put it back in then started to charge.
i'm going to do what JDMr2 did and let it die, yank the battery for a min then charge it and see how it goes.
It's always been charging more slowly on Cupcake than 1.x, BUT the battery lasts much, much longer.
well I took the battery out for a minute then put it back in. I left the phone on at night and plugged in the wall charger that's on my lamp timer before going to sleep. I woke up in the morning and looked at it in battery grapher and noticed that it rapidly charged from 30% until 60% then began to trickle charge the rest of the way up to 72% when I looked at the graph. I rebooted the phone, plugged it back in to the wall charger and it rapidly charged the rest of the way to 100%.
So, taking the battery out did not solve it. But interestingly I did discover that it rapidly charges until 60% then it switched into trickle charge mode. This is only after one observation however.
I've been having this problem as well but even prior to JF's version. I originally upgraded to the stock 1.5 from HTC (radio then firmware) and noticed the very slow charge times. I've tried pulling the battery and restarting but that hasnt changed anything. In the process now of completely draining the unit and then going to try again from there.
My G1 charges like normal.
JF1.5 ADP.
JF 1.5 nothing else fancy and I have noticed that charging has went from 45 mins or so to hours. Last night from amber it took 5 or so hours to go green. They definitely changed how the phone charges. Now my battery info says 73% and it has been moderately used for 7 hours. Looks like they went in a positive direction.
More often than not now, my Xoom will not fully charge. It will usually get to 61% and stop there. If the unit is off, the charging LED will start blinking. If the unit is on, the Battery Left widget will start flashing between charging and not charging.
I have gone into recovery and wiped the battery stats and that seems to help for a few days and then it starts doing it again. This unit was bought on day one of the release and sees pretty heavy use. I replaced the charger and that had no effect so I am suspecting it is time for a new battery. Any thoughts?
Has anyone else experienced severe overheating while on the charger?
I Have had my Gear S2 4G for about a week now with no issues and has been working very well. I usually set it on the charger overnight and have never had an issue until this morning. Reached over to put my watch on and it was VERY hot, not just warm. It also only had 60% of a charge. It also displayed the overheat warning message. I powered it off and let it cool off, then placed it on the charger again. It's currently charging fine again and is at a normal room temperature while being on the charger for the last 15 mins.
What would cause such a serious overheat? This is the 1st time it has done this. Anyway I'm gonna monitor it and post again here if it happens again.
Maybe an app was misbehaving. Did you install anything new recently?
I was looking in to that. I did install a couple different apps earlier so I am monitoring them to see if they were the culprit.
I noticed yesterday that my gear is no longer charging. I was wearing it yesterday and took it off before taking a shower. It was at 90%. Took it off of the charger and put it on again last night, it was at 89%. Wore it until 10:00pm and put it back on the charger and it was at 80%. Got up this morning and it was at 75%.
When I put it on the charger, the orange light does come on. It just doesn't seem to be charging at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Never mind. Looks like a reset fixed it.
I used to have issues when I was on stock h83020n. When I charge it overnight using the stock charger and cable, it charged fast till about 50% and then stops somewhere around 50 to 60%. The battery icon will still show as charging even in the morning. If I remove the cable and connect it again, it charged fine too 100% albeit a bit slow.
Later, I flashed 20a Kdz and rooted phone and been using this setup for about a month now. And there was no issues, it charges just fine. Gets to 100% in less than 2 hours.
Yesterday, I went back to h83020n again, and the issues is still there. I charged it overnight only to see 53% and charging in the morning.
Have anyone faced such issues in 20n?
