battery charging problem - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi there !
I hope someone could help with a weird problem.
history:
I've got a T-Mobile MDA compact 3 and I had an issue with my battery. It was completely discharged (~3% left, flashing red) and I was driving / navigating in the car until I noticed that the car-charger was not connected. So I plugged it in - and it was hot in the car... and the battery was GONE.
(I know that a LiOn battery does not like 'hot' ambient temperature, I know...)
At home, I tried to charge it with the power adapter : no luck.
OK, I thought, battery defect... so I bought a new one, Samsung labeld brand, not a 'China' clone.
Now, with the new one I've got the following problem :
- the battery will charge with either USB / car- or power plug charger, BUT it will go from consant organge (ok) to flashing orange (not ok, normally that's "notification" / message arrival) instead of green.
- using the power plug charger, after a night, battery is "empty" again, so charing (constant "orange" LED) -> flashing orange LED -> flashing RED in the morning -> empty
- the "BatteryStatus" tool and the system control panel will show "charging" while charging, but the percentage will never increase (e.g. if I start charging at 30%, it'll stuck on 30%...just displaying "charging"). If I now charge for - let's say 1h, it's still on 30% (despite, that I know it will last for 2 days)
So the problem is, that the PDA doesn't know the actual charging level. But that's also not true: cause if I do a Soft-reset, it's back at 100% (or less if I have not charged fully - which I don't know as it doesn't go to "green LED" anymore.
So again, in short, I always have to reboot to see the current charging level, and I'm missing the "green LED" full charge level (instead "orange flashing LED" notification.
I guess that the levels (low, high, current) are somewhere stored in the registry, or ? I did a hard-reset, reinstalled all applications, but same...
Any hints ? I hope a firmware upgrade would reset the battery status, but as there is no offical firmware for the T-Mobile MDA 3c, I'm stuck... or ?

I have the exact problem on my P3300... When i try to charge with my usb cable everything it's ok...
But when i am trying to charge with my car cable it will go from constant organge to flashing orange... Also the temperature is rising very fast... It has reached to 80 degrees C°
It stop charging when temperature is over 50...
Anyone there to help us???

I get a similar problem.
Allthough, charging on adapter "seems" normal.
Led turns green and battery status via system settings are at 100%.
When disconnecting from the charger, the battery level drops to the exact same level as before charging (example -> battery at 48% -> connect to charger -> after an amount of time LED turns green, battery status is at 100% on the PDA -> remove cable -> battery back at 48%).
Charging in the car or on the computer does not give this problem.
Tested my battery and charger on another unit -> no problem.
Tested another charger and battery on my unit -> same problem.
Device is going back (THIRD TIME in 2.5 months) for repair.
No more Artemis / HTC P3300 for me ......

USB connection without charging the battery?

i tryed this: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 0
but the result is - indicator dont show craging, but the battery actualy charges (i put him on link in20%, after hour (indicator all of the time showing 20%) & restart - indicator says - 75%.
my question is - is there an additional software, or option, that dont allows charge of the battery on usb link ?
Hey
Did you soft reset your device after changing the reg? Maybe this would help.
Why would charging the orbit cause a problem anyway? Its great to be able to charge the orbit from just plugging it into my pc/works pc.
the problem of this hack is not in the restart:
"Disable usb charge
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv" set "EnableUsbCharge" to 0 and softreset
Be careful whith this tweak because it doesn't seem to charge (no amber LED) but it does !"
the quote is from:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Registry
i what to aware from "cicles" on the batery, which it takes from any plug into charge. (same way i shortly take the life from my ipod battery, when i use him for long time like mobile hdd storage) I whant to full discharge & full recharge my battery every time - just a little wirednes of mysalf. i belive this is good for batterys performance.

No charging and amber blinking

Hey,
I don't have any charger, so I have been always charging my Artemis via USB.
A couple of days ago it stopped charging. It happened after I discharged it to a very low level.
When I plug in the USB cable, the amber (or the orange) LED starts to blink. I can see the icon that says that the cable (which is ok) is plugged in, but the battery level is dropping instead of increasing.
I've tried even hard reset.
I haven't tried with another battery, but I've tried to charge the battery with a charger made by myself. It was OK - PDA is working, but I can't still charge it normal way.
Any ideas?
Blinking amber
I have the same problem on my htc p3300, and when i used batti 2.4 i saw that the battery temperature is 432675.5 etc something fake temerature. This is the reason, why my pda unable to charge my battery. If you set your pda in bootloader mode, it will charge your battery!. After 3 or more times i charged it in bootloader mode somethimes the battery temp sensor works normally, and the charge is working as well. Sometimes not.
Bat you can charge your battery allways in bootloader mode.
Sorry for my English.
Try it!
Good luck!
So it's a temp sensor problem? I've had the same problem with my SPV 650 a few times. Hopefully it was never permanent!
hey
Do you know how fix this problem ? Is there problem with battery or with mainboard ? I change rom, radio, battery, charger.If bootloader mode is the best solution?
I wait for answer and your ideas
Hi.
I have Prophet with the same problem. It doesn't charge batt, doesn't turn on - clouds then white screen. And it has happened after deep discharge.
Trying "bootloader mode"
i have the same problem with my dopod p800w. the device work only when it pluged, even when the battery is full (in another device) the notification message appear and it turn off ! Anyone can help me ? Sorry for my English !
im suffering from this problem
any solution?
i am about to purchase a new battery however.. i dont think that would solve the problem..
how do you enter bootloader menu?

battery issue

hi guys,
i just checked out my ARTE160 battery. when i checked out the output voltage, i found that its 3.95~4.2 v when full charged. i jus checked this out with a multi meter. the battery is designed for 3.7v only, so does this mean there is a prob???
thx guys
I'm not a pro, but I think this means that everything is alright with the battery. I would rather worry if the voltage was below 3,7 V - that would definitely mean a problem.
well i find wat u say is logical but still im having some small prob in my phone.....
it keeps working well and suddenly the phone service alone wont work and gets hanged (means no calls and sms) after couple of mins mobile just researches the network and joins.
the prob is when this thing happens and someone calls me the call is ringing but i dont get any ring or alert in my mobile.......
also sms is not delivered kater but is lost completely......
i jus looked out somewhere that these probs may be due to battery........

I had to get a new battery and performed a hard-reset on my phone and all was well after that. make sure you have a back-up on your numbers....
well savain
thanks for ur reply.....
did u have the same kind of prob like the over voltage???

I've just chcecked the output voltage of my battery - when 45% charged - the voltage was 3.82 V.
in my opinion, your problem has nothing to do with the battery. I had same problem that you described - I switched to WM6 from WM5 - it did the trick.
now it hangs very seldom.
I guess that would help you (at least if you're using WM5).
oh but im using 6.1 at present
its TOM'S ROM.....
...
*for battery issue;
buy a new battery and
charge <----- device must be off!...
when green led light shows, its done..
this should sort your battery issue..
* for issue with - ''suddenly the phone service alone wont work and gets hanged..''
try a hard reset, if it still happens, open the device - open through the back of the device and simply give it a clean, ensure all connections are connecting, in other words, scratch the pins inside device if they need it.. assemble correctly and hope this helps..
-use cotton buds, the ones you use to clean your ears with..
-use a pin/needle to scratch connections..
*sounds like a hardware issue, not rom issue so cleaning inside the device is recommended..
*I've fixed my p3300 plenty of times now by just simply cleaning inside it.
- including the ''not charging'' and ''no sim'' issue people have experienced..
Not charging
HI Geeks, I have a problem with my blackstone battery. It is getting charged only up to 50 to 55 percent. I kept on charger for one ful night. But no use. I am using official ROM. Can you suggest any solution for that?
Help PLZ
I tired both the charger and the USB cable. Still the problem remains.
A new problem
Now i am facing a new problem. When i switch off the Touch HD, it will not start. When i press the power button, it shows "Smart Mobility" then it will go off. I tried once and pressed the power button again. It lasted some more time, reaching to the HTC logo screen.
Then I Connect the phone using the usb cable to the desktop and press the power button. WOW. it started without any problem. Can you help me to get around this problem?

[Q] Stopped charging: Unusual

Apologies for another not charging thread, i have tried searching for a similar issue but no luck.
I put my DHD to charge as usual last night at around 40%, the charge LED lit up and the battery icon was showing that i am charging.
When i woke this morning, the charge LED and battery icon were still showing that i should be charging yet the phone now only has 33% battery, so clearly hadnt charged. I checked current widget and when the LED and icon show charging i only seem to be getting anywhere between a reading of 40mA and 270mA. With an occasional 300-400mA reading.
I seem to be able to intermittently get the phone to charge and the batt icon to rise by a percent or two but then it seems to stop again. As i am in work at the moment i am having to charge via USB from my PC. Therefore i am currently unable to try another micro USB charger and see if it is indeed the charger or the phone.
Has anyone else had a similar issue, says it charging but it not??
Or anyone have any ideas of a solution??
If it matters i am currently using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.1 GB. Id rather not have to return it to HTC as i am unsure of how to return the phone to default easily so it could be repaired on warranty.
Thanks in advance,
James
Firstly, download CurrentWidget, set refresh to 15 seconds, and make sure you set it to display battery voltage. If it is showing around 4200mV, it is charged, and you have a problem with the battery gauge.
To double check, turn off your phone, and see if the light goes green at 100%.
Boot back up, just to see if a reset fixes it.
If not, reboot into recovery, and wipe battery stats (or do it properly, turn off, wait until light is green, wait another hour, then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats).
Turn back on, and see if the problem is sorted.

HOX CM12.1 Nightly Build by Milda25 - Phone not charging (with encryption enabled)

Dear all,
I'm using this ROM cm-12.1-20151102-UNOFFICIAL-endeavoru.zip (nightly build by milda25), which I found when I came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x/orig-development/rom-htc-one-x-cyanogenmod-12-1-t3169751.
The ROM is fine for me for daily usage (so, nothing special).
However, it has one big problem on my phone: The battery won't charge when I plug in the charger. Short description:
- I used several different AC/DC chargers and USB cables.
- When I boot into recovery, the battery charges fine.
- I tried rebooting, playing around w/various power saving settings, no luck.
- Since my phone is encrypted, I tried the following: Check the charge status by pluggin in and out and observing the battery light during the individual boot phases
a) HBOOT/Recovery: charging (no light, but displayed by TWM info)
b) CM12.1 spash screen: possibly charging (but no light)
c) CM12.1 password dialog (where you enter the encryption password): charging (light switches on and off when (un)pluggin)
- One strange observation is, that the phone "remembers" the charging status.
- When I plug in the charger in step (c), enter my pw to decrypt the phone, unlock the SIM and then unplug the charger, the phone stills shows "charging". Even the battery circle stays animated...
Maybe some of you guys has a similar experience and can give me a hint how to solve?
Thank you very much and best regards,
Celphis
