After having gone through the posts regarding battery being drained very fast, went out and got a new one. It worked like a dream for about a month. Used to last a couple of days before requiring a recharge (it would go down to 20% remaining).
I usually leave the battery to charge overnight, have been doing that since the beginning. Well two weeks back, I find that my JasJar shows Green light but it would not turn on. A soft reset resolved the issue. But now everytime the battery goes into full charge (after the orange color LED turns Green) either of the 2 happen
1. The device resets itself. When switched on the battery charge shows less than 100%.
2. The device will not turn on until a soft reset. When switched on the battery charge shows 100%.
I have used WM6 from Laurentius, KDSKamal and the T-Mobile WM5. All ROM's give me the same result.
I tried using my old battery ( to make sure that my device charging was not faulty)and that works fine (except for the fast drain problem).
Anyone with any ideas as to what the problem could be?

seems like your new battery wore out (was not able to take the prolonged charging, an hour of charging will already give you almost 100%)... you said it yourself that your old battery works without the same problem
if you have just bought it for a month... there should be a warranty for this.... have it replaced immediately...
Hi. I have a Voda branded TP2.
I have installed the 1% battery indicator and have realised that the battery is dropping at an alarming rate. In two hours without any data activity, just two calls of 5 mins each and the battery has already reached 74%. The number drops in front of my eyes. Quite scary actually.
Anybody else faced a similar porblem?
2 things I can advice you (as a TP2 beginner)
-First times: charge up to 12 hours non-stop even when light is green (has nothing to do with phone but with the chemical proces inyour battery) this will prolong lifetime
-This TP2 WWE ROM has a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of background running stuff compared to other WM 6.1 - ROMS. So you thing it is not using any current but it is!
Maybe you could install advance task manager and check out all running programs and processes ...
hope this helps ...

Thanks. I have done the 12 hours charging many times - about 6-7 times. Will try the advanced task manager.
Anybody else with a battery problem?
Any application / software is known to be a battery drainer?
Thanks
Had a strange one last night. Went to be, put the phone on charge (was about 16% iirc), and the orange light came on to say it was charging. Then, this morning at about 3am, I hear the phone making bleeps. Check it out, and it's at 5%, with orange light flashing. Take out charger, put it back in, and it starts charging. I went out afterwards, came back about 4.30, and it says it was about 80% complete. Go sleep, wake up about 7.30am, and it's fully charged (green light). Then, I unplug charger, turn on, and it says 96%, and I notice it dropping the amount of charge in front of me (like OP's notice), until it got to about 91%.
Now, about 5 hours later, it reckons the charge is 74%. So dunno why it went down so quickly, and why it didn't actually charge... But will keep my eye on it and see how it goes...
data connection
Another way 2 keep your eye on it: check data connection (start>settings>connections>comm manager) a lot of stuff open this connection which uses power. if it turns on without you knowing .... (especially auto-update plugins (weather?)), sometimes AS also ...

For indo, it says here (amongst others)

that it isn't a good idea to do "old style battery cycling"
I really don't know what to think of LiPo battery management, so many different theories.
Also, something that annoys me is that I fully charge the TP2 overnight, in the morning the lights green. If I simply unlug charger and plug in back in it well go back orange and stay orange for a good half hour... and I can start again a few times...
To be honest, I had to hard reset my device couple of times and haven't had time to 'fully' recharge it after the resets.
I guess I will give it a few days of full charging and then check on the battery.
But, I am not joking when the 1% battery meter just drops numbers faster than a meter at the gas station.

I had this problem when I have push mail turn on. If you disable push mail and set it to receive like every 15 mins, it save the power a lot.
Try the advance config to auto disconnect every x mins, this will helps as well.
Hi HaveryR and others,
yep your source isn't to bad. Beginning with full charges (6 to 12 hrs instead of 3 like the manual says) isn't about the old charge-memory story (because Lithium-Ion battery don't work this way, only the nickel-cadmium and nimH do) but about fully charging cells.
I mean the best way to look upon this is like a pile of bricks on top of each other (all different cells if you wish). So the first time it is important to give all the bricks enough time to charge - so even when it says 100% it does not mean that it has (you're indicator is a feedback of a reading by your cpu). So not all the bricks (let's say) have the same quality (yesyes even in this day and age of hight teck).
So you can also take this parallel to discharging: if you discharge fully, you risk that one of these bricks get busted and so will NEVER recover.
So i agree on this with your source a LiOn batter is bettery served with frequent partial charging and must NEVER be drained completely

Guys,
I put the TP2 on for charging the whole night (about 9 hours). In the morning the LED was green and the battery meter said 100%. I took the charger off from the handset and re-inserted the tip in. Guess what? 95%.
AM not sure if it is a battery problem or handset problem?
Its come down to 73% with just one phone call of 5 mins. Mail is on, but its on manual and havent pulled anything since morning.
Any idea?
Is anyone else having a problem with the touch pro 2 not charging fully when it is off. I have the Tilt2 and have tried many different ROMs. For whatever reason if i charge the phone while it is off, it only charges to around 96% or less. I do have the 1% battery driver installed and i can not figure out for the life of me why it will not fully charge. If i leave the phone on, it charges to 100% but at some point i get a message telling me it disconnected from the connection. Can anyone help. Thanx
Same issue :-(
me too. Same problem
There's been several threads on this. The general consensus is the battery stops charging when it reaches 100%, and then begins to discharge. I've noticed the same behavior but haven't found a fix.
Very odd
The weird thing is that I have charged my phone while it is off and one morning I wake up and turn it on and it is at 91% then the next morning it will be at 100% then the next morning itll be 86%. I usually turn it off around the same time and turn it on around the same time. I cant see it starting to discharge if there is only an hour possible time difference. REALLY annoying lol
Icon issue with charging and Battery level
I have an odd issue. I am running the stock ATT rom until I can get the stupid phone to take the HardSPL (different issue being worked on).
The icon at the top shows the battery at full capacitiy all the time. I have Phone alarm on and it has a battery indicator that shows it as low as 20% while battery icon is still 4 bars full. Also there are times when I remove it from the usb and the charging icon stays on instead of showing the battery icon. If I soft reset then it seems to go to normal and the charging icon is replaced by battery which seems to always show full.
I had my new HTC Desire 3 weeks ago. Those last days I plug my HTC to the charger overnight and when I take it back in the morning the battery is only up to 92-93% and the led is green, like it had a full charge. If I unplug-plug the device, it will resume charging, this time up to 100%.
Is this a normal behaviour for a battery 3 weeks old?
How can I fix this?
This is normal behavior of the phone. It charges up to 100% and then stops until the charge drops down to 90%, at that point it starts charging again up to 100%. This is what you have noticed, there is nothing wrong with your phone or the battery
This worked, even though I am no longer worried about it.
1) After green light unplug phone and wait 10 minutes
2) Shut phone off
3) Plug back in till light green
4) Turn back on
Poof, 100% but other than that the above post is correct, not a problem. I bought an extended battery for mine. 3,000 mAh and have no problems.
Battery discharging while on charger.
The past 2 nights I've had the Acro S on charge via the wall charger through the USB plug (not in the cradle - due to a protective case) and during the night I noticed the phone charge with the Red LED showing and then it goes Green showing it above 90% - then later on in the night/early morning I've noticed the green light has gone out and checked the time and noticed that the battery has discharged to 80%
Looking at the battery stats it shows the phone had reached full capacity and then been discharging for a number of hours - the odd thing here is that the plug was still firmly in the phone and plugged into the wall with no chance of it being bumped - the other odd thing is that the charging lightening bolt was also still showing but the percentage was going down as I was trouble shooting all this.
Eventually I unplugged the phone a couple of times and the phone started charging again and reached 100% and was still like this when I picked it up to use it for the day.
This has occurred 2 nights in a row.
The manual says that the phone will reach full capacity while on the charger and will also self discharge and recharge again by itself but I think a 20% drop is a bit more that what would be considered normal especially when you want the phone fully charged in the morning.
If anyone knows what is going on here or has experienced this kind of behavior I'd be keen to know about it.

Nobody else has this problem yet I see.......
Its been a few days and this morning I've got the following
0650 hrs - battery showing discharge after being on the charger all night - red charging LED on and screen showing lightening bold charging symbol but battery still discharging and sitting at 81%
0701 hrs - phone still on charge, battery now 79%
0741 hrs - phone still on charger, battery now 77% - I cant believe that this is part of the battery cycling on charge
I'll contact Sony today and see if the battery is faulty - phone is only 2 weeks old.

Ok - so yesterday I went to the Sony support office in Khyber Pass New Zealand and the tech there said they dont support Acro S because its not been supplied by a NZ Sony distributor. So I then went to the place I bought it and they didnt want to look at the phone because its Rooted - I didn't tell them the boot loader is also unlocked - but they gave me an adapter so I could use the official Sony charger that I got with the phone (until now I've been using my old Xperia Neo charger) in the hope that the lower voltage rating might change things (they'd had acro Z which didn't charge on the Neo type charger they supplied).
So I got home and changed the power adapter over to the one that came with the phone using the adapter plug.
Last night I put the phone on charge and woke this morning to see that it had charged fully again and then since around 0400 it had discharged to 83%. I unplugged the phone and plugged it in again and it did not start charging - I did this a number of times and it didnt start charging but it did show that it was charging with the red LED and the lightening bolt on the battery and everywhere else it showed charge but the graph kept going down and the percentage kept dropping.
I had to reboot the phone for the battery to start charging.
I decided that I would re-lock the boot loader and repair the phone via Sony Update
Relock thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1863179
Sony Update
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
On page 3 of the relock thread I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44093334&postcount=28 and waiting a reply from him to see if his issues were similar.
I've - re-locked and used Sony Update so now I'm back to square one I hope - I'm still going to root but I'm not going to bother unlocking the boot loader because I didn't find a kernel that could read external hard drives.
I'll update this if the phone continues to have a faulty charge...........
