Hi
after a connection via activesync yesterday I realized the battery power jumped to 100% and remained. After CID Unlocking and trying some WM6 Roms here the problem is still there. The Device is running perfectly but there seems to be no obvious power draining as the battery display is stuck at 100%..
Funny thing is when I turn it off and charge it ,then after 2 or 3 secs the green LED appears?? I'm afraid it will discharge completely without being able to charge again.
Anyone experienced the same? I have no idea, driver problem seems unlikely to me as it won't charge in Off-Mode..
Thank you
Problem solved itself. Battery at 98% after 14 hours...

I recently purchased a blue angel and the battery only lasts 4 hours on standby mode. I purchased a new battery from ebay and the new battery has the same problem. I do not have the BT running or the locator. Is it possible that this problem is the actual phone itself and not the battery?

Does your BA have symptoms lik mine:
It charges itself normaly, to the green light on the right.
After I disconnet it from the charger green lights still, not blinking (as it was before).
After 10-15 minutes it lights orange (like during charge).
In Power settings State of main battery changes to Charging, though it is not connected to charger, and drains out in about 4-6 hours.
Backlight Brightness also behaves like it is on external power not on battery.
It looks like device thinks of itself, that it is connected to external power permanently.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Suddenly, after next recharging BA works normally again.
I'm glad that problem just dissapeared.
Since I do not know the reason of wierd power problem, I'm afraid it can happen aggain.
I've read most topics related to the BA power problem, and surmise that most complaints about BA eating batteries, self-discharging overnight, etc. were for the same reason as in my case.
There are no topics ended with problem solved by unlucky user.
Did their BAs start to function normally just like mine or they use it for paperweight?
Strange that no one suggested any explanation+solution of that power phenomenon.
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...
Hello,
My desire, after:
an inability to restore nandroid backup
a possible corrupted sd card
a usb brick and inability to mount some nand partitions
and finally succeeding in fixing it, now using/running:
2.29.405.5 stock rooted rom
a new sd card (samsung 16GB class 6)
clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
s-off
seems that has battery issues. When it reaches below 30%, it drains a lot faster. In example few minutes ago, the battery was below 30% level and after sending a couple of sms messages the phone, without the "Connect the charger" indication shut down. Not even the battery icon was red.
What should I do?
After flashing the above ROM I ran an app called battery calibration (could this be the culprit?).
I haven't experienced such problems before the whole mess mentioned above.
Thank you for your time.
Well, it seems to me like a "classic" battery meter calibration issue.
TVTV said:
In order to calibrate the battery meter - FYI the battery itself cannot be calibrated, as Li-Ion batteries have a very low memory compared to old Ni-Cd etc. batteries - you have to go through the following procedure:
1) charge the battery to 100%;
2) let the battery discharge until the phone shuts itself down;
3) plug the wall charger into the phone, boot the phone up then charge the battery to 100% without interruptions.
If the above procedure does not yield the expected results, you can try fully charging the phone (LED showing green) with it completely turned off (after completely draining it). Again, the charging procedure should not be interrupted.
Source: personal experience - had to do this twice after installing new ROMs, as the phone was shutting down at ~14% (working like a charm now).
Regarding the matter of battery wear because of complete discharges, Li-Ion batteries do indeed have a lower cycle count than old-school batteries, but the standard charge/discharge number a Li-Ion battery can take is ~350, so you can't damage the battery pack by doing a full cycle per month (required to keep the battery meter accurate).
Good luck!

Did this work you mate? I have the same issue with my year old batter now... the phone shuts down @ 40% without any warning... and when I charge it, it starts from 0% and as soon as it hits the 58% mark, it jumps to 100% by itself... and i cant seem to figure out what the hell could I do to fix it... I tried calibrating the battery using the awesome method described here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11823-battery-calibration-thread 3 times and nothing changed...
bump bump.. i really need help on this guys... :/

Weird that after calibration you still get that kind of issues, does this only happen on your current ROM? I have the latest CM in my desire and everything works just fine... Maybe try another ROM if calibration doesn't work to see if it's a hardware or software issue
i actually had issues with MIUI first.. the phone randomly shut down by itself but when i turned it back on, it was perfect... then i switched back to Oxygen and while everything was fine, suddenly one day the phone died at 40% :S and from that day on the phone charges to 58% and then instantly jumps to 100%... and as soon as it gets to 40% it shuts down itself... i guess i need a new battery but i wanted to see wether i can fix this one somehow so i can use it till the new one arrives...

same problem
i have the same problem
my phone turns off at 20% battery
calibration does not help....
and battery is not bad - it works fine
i'm sure its the problem with calibration

phone turning off at 20% is fine mate because thats the battery guards against any damage
most of the phones ( smart phones) switch off at 20% as going lower can damage the System .
It shouldnt normally..It's supposed to work fine upto 5%
Have a look at this, it worked for me (but you need a compatible kernel, most AOSP are so)

Hey guys,
Assuming you have read the title there is something weird about my phone.
It shuts down at 40-50% battery (before it shutsdown it says empty battery briefly and then the htc flash screen appears and shutsdown).
The weird thing is the following:
It shuts down at let's say 40% battery, but when it re boots the battery is litterly empty (even when i boot in recovery it says --%, and when i plug the charger it starts at 0% again).
I have tried:
Battery Calibrator
Empty full fill up with wall charger and also tried usb charger.
Screaming @ phone
wiping battery data in recovery (4ext recovery)
The thing i am most confused about is that it goes out at 40% and when i turn it on again it's 0%. This never happened as it happened for the first time 2 weeks ago, confused. I tried different roms and it still happens (even ICS roms).
I wouldn't really mind if my phone would shut down at say 20% when it says actually it's @ 20. But as i said before: It says it's 40 (batterij indicator htc sense half full) and then shutsdown realizing after reboot it's completely empty.
Any help is much appreciated!

Shutting down on let's say 15-20% is quite normal, but I never heard of one shutting down at 40%
Are you using the stock battery, that came with your device?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
Any chance to try another battery? Seems really strange cause in most cases if you wipe battery stats you get your phone shutdown at 20%, not 50%.
Its most likely a bad battery that needs to be replaced specially if tue same thing happens when using a different rom.
via xda app
Yeah i know it seems so weird that's why i started this thread.
Before i buy a new battery:
What could be the cause that the phone goes out at 40% (or 30) and when it reboots it's empty.
Seems like the phone or the battery aren't in "sync" until it reboots to show it's empty.
Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks!

I'd like to think of it similar to laptop batteries that have gone bad... you plug your laptop to it's power supply, it says fully charged but as soon as you pull it out from it's power supply it drops to 50% in minutes and then goes off. The battery cannot hold the charge anymore.
It can only mean that the battery's life is at an end. The only thing you can do is to change it. I suggest that you stick to original HTC battery as the "ChinaMade" ones will die a lot faster and you'll have to change it sooner than this one.
Regards.

Hey guys!
I know this thread is started since several months but I actually have the same problem : I have a HTC Desire and its shuts down at about 50% and when I reboot it, it says the battery is empty.
I tried several times to recalibrate the battery (and to do all the things MendelMusic said in his post actually) but nothing changed.
MendelMusic, did you finally manage to solve your problem?
Anybody have a solution or any ideas?
Thanks!

Battery drain?
It's called battery drain. I have it too, but only at 10/20%?
If someone knows a fix, please send it to me
AW: Htc Desire Shuts down at 40-50% battery
Probably your batteries are just weak now. I'd recommend you all to invest 5 bucks in a new battery. Actually that helped at my old desire. Greetings
Thanks for your answers!
I tried the link of madreef and it didn't change. I will try again, maybe I did it wrong (hope it will work this time...)
@dschibril : I don't think my battery is weak because the problem occured as soon as I changed the ROM (CM10). The battery was perfectly ok before that.

Hello, I have the same problem with you. Did you manage to fix it and how? Have you tried a brand new battery so far?
It has to do with the Desire's poor battery age management system. Li-Ion batteries age, meaning that, as time passes, they're gonna be able to hold less and less milliamps. After almost two years, my Desire's battery can only hold 82% of the original ~1400 mA charge.
The only way around this is to use the Nexus One Battery Calibrator (Nexus One and our Desire share the same hardware underneath the hood). You'll need a compatible kernel and some patience. Instructions in this post.
My 2 cents: if your battery is only able to hold less than say 75%-80% of its original charge, then you should replace it. Li-Ion batteries age in such a way that they suddenly go dead, so it's not worth taking the risk.
Later Edit - If your Desire shuts down at say 40% - 50%, that means that your battery is 40% or 50% gone, so it's time for a replacement. I'd still try the battery calibration method i wrote about in the above post, just to determine if it's a freak software error or the battery's fault.
P.S. - Wiping battery stats does nothing to solve most issues (for the Desire, at least).
My phone turns off sometimes at 50%, sometimes at 80% of battery.
I have new battery now (original one) and it is the same. Phone turns off, only when it is connected to charger it does not.
Hiii
My hTC Desire 728 shut down when then battery showing 50% to 60% in charge. What is the remedies?
I’m having battery charging problems with my HTC One XT, which seems to be a common problem for the HTC One X. The main problem is the phone seems to have trouble getting fully charged to 100% and hovers around the 75% mark.
For example, I charged my phone (while on) overnight (over 11hrs+) when the battery status was at 20%. When I checked my phone in the morning, the battery status was near 0%. So I disconnected the charger and the phone turned off. I turned on the phone and the battery status was 75%. Also when I leave the phone charging while it’s on, it’s seems to be discharging rather than charging and the battery status seems to get lower.
After some searching around the forums etc, here’s what I tried:
1. Disable Fast Boot via power settings
2. Set processor limit to at most 4.
3. Manual screen brightness
4. All Wi-Fi/Bluetooth connections are off.
5. Restarted the phone a few times.
My phone is rooted with X-Revolution ROM and is brand new and is only a few days old. What could be the problem?
So fellow members, please help me solve this annoying issue.
So my phone kept discharging when I kept trying to charge it with the supplied charger. It literally went down to 0% and the phone was empty.
So I decided to use my old charger from my Incredible S and my phone is back to 100% now after a few hrs of charging.
Seems to be working fine for now. Could be an faulty charger I assume.
