Charging behaviour - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Two questions:
1) By default, when the phone is fully charged it stops charging (which is fair enough) - but it then never starts again unless it is unplugged and plugged back in. I think this means it's possible for the battery to actually go flat while the phone is connected to the charger! Is there any way to get the phone to start charging again when it's dropped by a few percent without having to unplug and replug it?
2) Is there any way to speed up charging via USB? USB should be able to output something like 500mA, which means the phone ought to charge from 0% to 100% in about three hours via USB; in fact, it takes at least twice that, maybe even longer (even switched off). Can this be tweaked?

I too have the same problem with charging.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545254 as it was discussed there also.

on start->settings->system->power->information i can see the time of the last full charge.
without unplugging the charger the "last full charge:" time updates sporadically, meaning that my phone charges the battery form time to time.

Battery charging BUG

Hi every one,
As far i know, there is a BUG on every official ROM for European GSM Touch Pro2.
When your battery get full charged and keeping it plugged to the wallcharger, then your Pro2 start taking the power from your battery and NOT from the charger.
This can be checked by yourself and you will see that even with it connected, the battery in running down charge, till you unplug it and plug it again after some minutes/seconds.
Yeah, I have noticed it as well. Anyone have a solution?
Not a bug. LiPoly's do not like being trickle charged, therefore the charger turns off.
I have not verified it on the TP2 but I suspect that if you let it sit long enough the battery level would drop to some level and the charger would charge it back to 100%.
This is a rather good new if it can manage battery loads cycles...

It oughta turn the charger off and run the device from the mains, though, not from the battery. Is it doing that?

No it is NOT doing that, so to me it is a BUG.
just thought i would add this
for some reason on saturday i charged my phone via usb/pc and it lasted less than 24 hrs
so on sunday i drained it and charged it vis the plug
its still going noe
72 hrs 23 mins in stanby 30 mins talk and 4 hrs 7 mins use since 17.43 on 18/10/09
is never been this good so i thought it may be the new rom

Lithium-ion
(Li-ion)
Do charge the battery often. The battery lasts longer with partial rather than full discharges.
Do not use if pack gets hot during charge. Check also charger.
Charge methods: Constant voltage to 4.20V/cell (typical). No trickle-charge when full. Li-ion may remain in the charger (no memory). Battery must remain cool. No fast-charge possible.
Rapid charge = 3h
also i have read some where on xda that once it reaches 100% it'll stop charging

You know of any other modern phone that runs off the mains without the battery? None of my last three phones would without the battery.

My Kaiser will. It turns off when you pull the battery, but you can turn it right back on.
Every one is talking about battery and it's components but no one speaks about that with charger pluged in, it should supply power and by pass the battery once it is fully charged like others models do.
sounds like you all need to do warranty exchanges for that lol

Have in mind that once the battery is fully charged, it never go to charge again till you unplug the cable of your wall/car charger... so what will hapen then???
hello anyone know about the issue with the battery ok when i charge my euro tp2 all night and when i go to start>settings>all settings>system>power i then click on the infomation tab and under last full charge i get "not applicable" and get 0 hours and 0minute for the rest
im running the offical htc 6.5 rom
To me this sounds CRAZY. So people are saying that when the device is fully charged it starts to use its battery, thats just crazy... So basically charging it overnight leaves you with "almost" full battery in the morning...
I havent noticed anything out of the ordinary, and every morning when I come and take my device from the charger the charging light is green (opposed to the orange when started charging) and the battery shows to be 100% full.
I will check this again in the morning as I havent really paid 10000% attention to it, but I think I would have noticed the weird behaviour…
noticed this since day 1. my dash didnt do this. i did notice that a soft reset will resume the charge.
This is normal behavior for battery powered devices.
When it's plugged in, the charge circuit charges the battery.
The device itself always runs off the battery when it's available, this is why some devices won't power on without the battery installed, and many devices won't power on with a failed battery installed.
Laptops do the same thing, though they can switch to AC only without losing their state.
It's a holdover I think from when electronics couldn't switch between power sources fast enough to not lose anything (I remember the original game boy would reset no matter what if you tried to switch between batt and AC). It's possible that cell phones can't make this transition since there isn't really extra space to stuff in the bits that allow this (some large-ish caps).
I've also heard that this reduces wear on the electronics, because the voltage is more reliable, but I've never seen that documented.

I don't think this is true for (modern) laptops. All the macbooks and thinkpads that I've owned had a feature that if you plug it in while the battery is above X% (usually around 96) it will not charge. It even gives a message saying "Not Charging" in the battery status. The battery percentage then stays constant no matter how long I use the laptop, so it is not DIScharging either. Therefore it must be running from AC. If it can do that, I doubt they would have it run off the battery as soon as it is charged to 100% on a full charge cycle. I think any time AC is plugged in, a modern laptop will run from AC rather than battery, regardless of whether it is currently charging the battery. However, that's just my theory from personal observations.

[HOWTO] Battery meter accuracy

I noticed something about the battery meter.
If you power on your phone when the charger is plugged in, the battery meter shows a higher value.
If you power on your phone when no charger is connected, the battery meter shows a lower value.
And these values stay for as long as your phone is not rebooted. My guess is, the value without charger plugged in (lower value) is more accurate.
So, if you want to make your battery meter more accurate, try this:
- Disconnect your phone from the charger
- Power off the phone
- Power on the phone again (phone must be disconnected from charger)
- After phone has booted into Android, plug the phone into USB/charger to charge it again
If you could try this out and see if the observation is always true, then maybe we should make this procedure standard to get a more accurate battery meter reading.
So this may have caused the fact that my phone keeps telling me, while charging, the battery is fully charged however it says 95% as soons as its unplugged
Power off the phone and connect charger while it's off, wait for the 100% sign on the fully green battery, then unplug the cord and connect it again, you can do this a couple of times. And resetting the battery stats should also help in some way.

What I'm suggesting is a bit different.
Power off phone.
Power on phone again, without plugging anything in.
After phone has booted, plug in charger.
EDIT: I notice this difference in battery meter reading tends to happen only with the *real* charger, and not when connect to a USB port on a PC.
That is right hardcore. This also refers to post-flashing boot.
I always disconnect device as soon as flashing procedure completes.

Hey,
Heres whats happening:
Lithium-ion batteries dont like it when you charge them while full. It wears them down. So to preserve batterylife it charges untill full, then stops charging completely. When it droppes down to far, it'll charge again for a bit. The phone will show full, in reality it'll be a little less. When you unplug it will drop down quickly to a more precise value. Bump-charging (disconnect, reconnect charger) works, however you are wearing the batterylife down. Could be you dont care, so it'll be youre own choice.
Older phones do not do this. They charge till full, then trickle power continuesly so it'll always be full when disconnected.
Hope this helps.

I'm not talking about the usual Li-ion full-charge effects. Also it may not be true that other phones don't do this. For sure, many laptops do this - after the battery charges to 100%, they won't charge the battery until it decreases to a certain level, say 95%.
I'm referring to the difference in battery meter reading if u boot the phone while connected to the wall charger, vs booting the phone when it's disconnected from the charger.
What you say is right, I am used to power OFF my phone & charge it at night, & when I get up, switch it ON while still plugged in. I must make it a point to remove the cable before I switch ON.
I noticed this many months ago and it persists even after flashing many different firmwares. It actually comes in handy some times. For instance when my battery is running low and i need to step out i simply plug in the charger, power off then power back on. Phone instantly jumps 30% or so. But generally i tend to power on without the charger attached so as not to stuff up the battery stats.

Anyway this behavior is not correct.
Samsung changed recently battery drivers in JPX sources and the problem is still persistent. I suspect it might be related to wrong battery voltage measuring point (hardware design flaw? although most problems with sgs are/were software related) or result misinterpretation.
Or their Q/A team is so clueless that they didnt notice that.

My guess is this is because the actual level of the battery is 5%, and 'cause it's plugged in it's saying 50% for some strange reason. So really you're charging from 5% up to 50% (and eventually more, but that aside), and I think the phone is averaging between your actual battery level and the 50% every time you go up 1%? Just my guess.

Ok. I tried this : removed my battery, waited 5 seconds, reput my battery, reboot all with charger unplugged. Battery went from 47 to 52. So this had no effect.
Then i shut down the phone, used 3br to get into recovery (cwm) did nothing except select reboot phone now and the phone rebooted, now 12% battery.

what @weirder post is the true fact about the lithium ion charge process. your charging method is called bump charging. but that way of charging the juice wear off the battery life sooner than normal charging..
I've been checking out the battery meter source code, and I think the battery level is calculated *only* from the battery voltage. Which is quite inaccurate, compared to laptop batteries which keep track of the charge, etc.

This could be improved by using its temperature. Since the SoC is a function of temperature, charge history, and current evolution over the time.

I tried the bump charging till the meter says 100% and right after unplugging from the charger the meter reads 98%. I let the battery drain up to 96% and connected my phone into a usb port of my PC and when the meter say its 100% charged, i disconnected the phone from the usb port and wallah...it stays at 100% charged and it has been at 100% even after 15 minutes...
I really don't recommend bump charging. You risk damaging your battery by overcharging. Or worse, making it blow up due to overcharging! I know it sounds paranoid but you never know...

Something's draining my battery faster than it's charging

I have a dock at work that I place my phone onto every day as soon as I arrive. I noticed at about 11 AM today that my phone was showing 72% battery, even though it should have been fully charged when I left this morning at 9 and had been sitting on the charger since 9:30. More annoyingly, it seems to be staying at about that level--it's not moving up at all. If anything, it's continuing to lose charge even as the icon shows it's charging!
I took it to a Sprint store, where they unhelpfully suggested that I have too many apps installed that are draining the battery in the background. I manually stopped most of them, uninstalled some that I don't really use, and put it back on the charger. It's still not going anywhere. I turned the phone completely off for an hour and charged the thing, and it had gained about ten percent (that seems pitiful, but at least it's charging?). It's back on the charger, still not really moving anywhere.
So what are my options at this point? I've never calibrated the battery, so maybe I need to do that. Other than that all I can think is that either the battery is going bad (but I have a feeling Sprint is going to insist "It's still charging" if I take it back to them and refuse to give me another battery), or perhaps the dock is not supplying the right voltage and hence it's not charging fast enough to overtake the power consumption.
What's bugging me is that I haven't installed anything in the past week that should be affecting my power consumption like this. Last week I had plenty of apps installed with GPS and bluetooth always on, and as long as the phone was docked it would eventually reach 100%. Now I have pretty much everything off, several apps I usually have running turned off, and several more uninstalled (including Lookout Security), and the battery is barely making any headway. I keep the screen on to a desk clock (because that's the whole point of a freaking dock), but that alone shouldn't be draining it faster than it can charge.
Any suggestions?
Sounds to me like its not getting enough voltage. When you charge it at home does it charge reasonably fast?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I never really monitor it, but I would say so, yeah. All I really check is that it's fully charged in the morning before I walk out the door.
The culprit might be my dock. It says it's designed specifically for the GSII but the cable itself looks to just be your standard USB-to-microUSB dock, other than a little bump at the bottom so that it's clearly aimed for bottom-charger phones like an iphone or SGSII. I suspect it might be supplying less voltage than the charger that came with the phone.
Is there anything I can look at (app or internal setting) that can tell me what kind of voltage the phone is receiving?
EDIT: Should also note that it's sitting on the dock now and it is at least making positive gains on the battery, albeit at maybe 1% every fifteen minutes. I really don't remember it being this slow before. Perhaps the dock's cable is cheap and is just crapping out over time.
USB charging is about half the speed of regular, wall socket charging. Invest in an OEM charger or one that has similar specs to an OEM one.
Sent from my Galaxy S II, AOKP style.
do you have the dock connected to a USB port on a computer/laptop or wall outlet?
USB charges at 150mah while most ac adapters charge at between 750-1000mah.
Well, when I used the my generic LG USB cable it took about 5 hours to reach from 0% to about 40% while shut. So, I changed the cable and viola, charging to full in less than 3 hours while working on it.
So, it seems that the charger is bad quality. Try using the original cable (if possible) or may be the original charger plug.
I guess that's the only solution, because there is no way that the phone is discharging at a faster rate than charging, except when it is connected to an external display. This is the only thing that I encounter where the phone goes dead after a while despite it is connected to the charger...
Yeah, that dock is a POS. I'm not surprised it charges slow as balls too.
Amusingly, my phone has been running on the battery since leaving work for about four hours with the screen off, and it's only at 92%! I must have uninstalled whatever was draining it so quickly.
Thanks, guys.
If you think it's an application draining it, try better battery stats in the market. Might not be the problem but it does help.

That's right. Use Original cable came with your phone.
I've experienced same thing when I tried to charge my D710 over LG micro usb charger thru AC outlet. The charging indicator was showing flash but actually it was not charging or charging speed was not enough to follow the battery usage.
I charged the phone all the night but in the morning it was empty!
Charging through the original Samsung micro usb cable, it never failed. But charging thru LG micro usb failed couple of times.
You can easily check a couple of things -
try to connect micro usb cable to your PC and set the USB mass storage mode.
If we use LG micro usb over samsung phone, it's not perfectly fit and data communication frequently fails. More importantly, Don't even try to odin your phone using LG micro usb.
It's not the issue of charger. It's the cable issue.
Do not use LG Micro USB cable for data communication, but if you want to use for charging, be sure that you hear the connection sound from the phone. If there's no connection sound, the battery won't last long even battery charging status shows the flash.
Hope this help.

"Intelligently" charging the battery...

The L980 is the first phone I've owned that notified me when it was "slow charging" versus regularly charging--regularly, as in simply showing a message saying "charging has begun." I don't have a single complaint about this monster of a battery, but I'm extremely anal with and adamant about not frivolously charging my devices in order to extend the battery's longevity.
My first question is if this behavior is even necessary.... I remember reading a few years ago that lithium-ion battery cells "get weaker" each time they are plugged in to begin a new charge cycle--no matter the current battery level, from 0% to 99% full--and subsequently lose longevity. Is this even true? If so, for this phone, does changing charge state (b/t slow charging and normal charging) have the same effect on the battery as does beginning a new charge cycle?
Just wondering. So far, I've been able to make it 2 days on one full charge!!
I personally don't think it matters which mode it's in. I will say that the phone has a flag that shows you slow charging if the amperage isn't up to what the stick charger puts out. You can technically say that this phone has a" rapid charge" feature that's always activated until it senses a lower amperage.

Question (Help) Buggy USB charging behavior

So I'm running the latest version of Microg for Lineage (20230313) & rooted on my Poco F3 and I'm having some serious problems with charging my phone.
About a week ago I downloaded Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) because I wanted do automate charging overnight and stuff. What I didn't know however was that some Xiaomi Devices appear to have a buggy PMIC that causes trouble. And that's exactly what I noticed when I tried to regulate the maximum charging current. My Phone just wouldn't want to charge up anymore when I tried limiting the current. So eventually I just gave up on the whole Idea and uninstalled the app. However my Phone ever since behaves weird when charging.
On my PC (normal 5v slow charging) it just refused to charge at all. I then tried connecting it to the included power adapter and that worked fine. So fast charging worked normally. When I then plugged it to my PC I think it worked fine again. Or at least I got it to charge after some reboots or so.
However battery usage overnight has increased quite a lot ever since. Every morning I wake up with 15-20% less battery than the moment I put my phone aside before I went to sleep. Before that was a lot less. I don't know how much exactly but I believe it was around 5% or so (I might be wrong here).
When I plug in my phone to charge it up I get the android notification "Charging this device via USB" as usual. But when I unplug the USB cable the notification will not disappear until I click on it and then select file transfer or any of the options and then after a second or two it will go away and the options become grayed out. The battery indicator however does report that the phone does not charge anymore the instant I disconnect the USB cable.
Now today I connected the phone to my PC again and wanted to charge it. But it just didn't want to charge once again and the android notification didn't show up. So I connected it to the included power adapter which worked fine. And then I connected it back to my PC and it now charges flawlessly and the notification even disappears after disconnecting the USB cable.
I believe that the high battery usage overnight has something to do with android still showing the "Charging this device via USB" notification because AccuBattery reports that the phone won't go into deep sleep mode when the screen is turned off. And now after I shortly connected the phone to the included power adapter to (at least temporarily?) fix the issues the phones does go into deep sleep mode. So I assume android thinks the phone is still being charged and thus doesn't enter deep sleep mode even though the device is not charging.
However I'm quite annoyed by the weird behavior of the phone, especially the high battery usage overnight. Things I have tried to resolve this issue include: Reflashing both slot a and b with the latest version of LineageOS. Going into fastboot and typing "fastboot reboot bootlaoder" into CMD hoping that would reset the PMIC or something (because I read that somewhere). None of this seems to have resolved my issues. Maybe there are some configuration files that Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) left behind the cause trouble however I have no Idea how to find and delete them.
I would really appreciate any advice from you as this is my daily driver.
Oh and feel free to ask any questions if you need further details.
Pococ31 support
Really
Try reflashing to stock miui and see if the problem still persist.
I had the same problem and i tried the following:
1)reflash firmware
2)reflash LOS
3)wipe everything and reflash
It was only fixed after flashing stock rom and relocking the bootloader.
Try flashing stock miui and reloading bootloader
If you want slower charging, why don't you just use a different, slower charger?
Altho have to say, temps should be fine with the 33w charger, just don't use the phone while charging.
ACC works fine for me, but I only use it for limiting the max charge-% to 80%
I'd say reflash & factory reset your ROM. And stop using PC Motherboard Charging, it's pointlessly slow.
Similar issue happens with my Poco F3 about using ACCA and limiting current, phone just charges and stops charging then charges again and then stops charging again, rinse and repeat, on average this makes the phone only charge at like 1500mA or so even though I am limiting it to 3000 or 4000 mA.
There is something that works better though, not as precise as what you want, but simply limiting charging voltage instead of limiting current works without issues in my phone, so for example if you limit it at 4150mV it will start charging at the max speed possible, but as charge percentage increases, charging voltage also needs to increase to maintain the same charging speed, so for example when you are at 35% charge, it will no longer charge at maximum mA but maybe 20% lower of max speed, for example 4800 mA instead of 5700 mA, and when you are at 50% speed would be 4000 mA, these are just invented numbers so you get an idea, you can lower these numbers by decreasing charging voltage and increase them by increasing charging voltage.

My Phone just wouldn't want to charge up anymore when I tried limiting the current. So eventually I just gave up on the whole Idea and uninstalled the app. However my Phone ever since behaves weird when charging.
On my PC (normal 5v slow charging) it just refused to charge at all. I then tried connecting it to the included power adapter and that worked fine. So fast charging worked normally. When I then plugged it to my PC I think it worked fine again. Or at least I got it to charge after some reboots or so.
However battery usage overnight has increased quite a lot ever since. Every morning I wake up with 15-20% less battery than the moment I put my phone aside before I went to sleep. Before that was a lot less. I don't know how much exactly but I believe it was around 5% or so (I might be wrong here).
When I plug in my phone to charge it up I get the android notification "Charging this device via USB" as usual. But when I unplug the USB cable the notification will not disappear until I click on it and then select file transfer or any of the options and then after a second or two it will go away and the options become grayed out. The battery indicator however does report that the phone does not charge anymore the instant I disconnect the USB cable.
Now today I connected the phone to my PC again and wanted to charge it. But it just didn't want to charge once again and the android notification didn't show up. So I connected it to the included power adapter which worked fine. And then I connected it back to my PC and it now charges flawlessly and the notification even disappears after disconnecting the USB cable.
I believe that the high battery usage overnight has something to do with android still showing the "Charging this device via USB" notification because AccuBattery reports that the phone won't go into deep sleep mode when the screen is turned off. And now after I shortly connected the phone to the included power adapter to (at least temporarily?) fix the issues the phones does go into deep sleep mode. So I assume android thinks the phone is still being charged and thus doesn't enter deep sleep mode even though the device is not charging.
However I'm quite annoyed by the weird behavior of the phone, especially the high battery usage overnight. Things I have tried to resolve this issue include: Reflashing both slot a and b with the latest version of LineageOS. Going into fastboot and typing "fastboot reboot bootlaoder" into CMD hoping that would reset the PMIC or something (because I read that somewhere). None of this seems to have resolved my issues. Maybe there are some configuration files that Advanced Charging Controller (ACCA) left behind the cause trouble however I have no Idea how to find and delete them.
I would really appreciate any advice from you as this is my daily driver.
Oh and feel free to ask any questions if you need further details.

Acc kills charging chips on poco, charge controller is very buggy that in fact major roms disabled the feature of charge control entirely.
Expect more problems down the line after using it...
